Chapter 85: The Whereabouts of the Immortal Corpse

Miss Ping stood there anxiously; although she had already agreed, her heart was still somewhat flustered.

Just then, footsteps could be heard.

Miss Ping perked up.

"The two of you, this is our Young Master. We accept this escort mission." Wei Fangsong spoke, his voice thick and robust, which, paired with his fierce and menacing appearance, was extremely intimidating.

However, seeing Wei Fangsong and the young master of the Ping'an Escort Agency, Miss Ping felt a sense of relief instead, and a great sense of security.

"Very well, here are three thousand taels in banknotes; the remaining seven thousand will be paid upon our arrival." Ding Yi took out three banknotes with a face value of one thousand each and handed them to Lin Chao.

Lin Chao accepted the banknotes and spoke slowly: "This escort mission isn't simple, is it?"

Ding Yi's expression changed slightly, and she glanced at Wei Fangsong beside her: "Indeed, we are being hunted by a powerful force in the martial arts world. If your escort agency is unwilling to invite trouble, this mission can be voided."

A smile appeared on Lin Chao's face, and he said calmly: "There is no reason to return money once it has been accepted; naturally, we will not abandon this mission."

Beside him, Wei Fangsong wanted to speak but hesitated.

However, he thought of his status.

Back then, he was penniless, and it was Lin Chao who helped him out of a predicament.

He was filled with gratitude toward Lin Chao.

In the end, he said nothing.

"For this escort mission, our Ping'an Escort Agency will take the lead. On the road, no matter what happens, you must listen to our agency. Can you do that?"

"For this escort mission, our Ping'an Escort Agency will take the lead; on the road, no matter what happens, you must listen to our agency. Can you do that?"

"Good."

Having finished communicating with the two, Lin Chao and Wei Fangsong left.

Wei Fangsong still looked somewhat wary: "Young Master, their identities seem unusual."

"It's no problem, don't I have you?" Lin Chao smiled, "With your strength, you won't encounter any issues."

Wei Fangsong hesitated for a moment, then could only nod.

Indeed, with his strength, as long as he didn't run into the very top tier of people, the escort mission wouldn't be much of a problem.

"Besides, even if you weren't enough, aren't there other escorts, and don't I have myself?" Lin Chao smiled.

"Besides, even if you can't do it, aren't there other escort guards, and don't you still have me?" Lin Chao smiled.

He did not take the Young Master's words to heart.

He did not take the young master's words to heart.

Three days later.

A group of over a hundred people marched majestically toward the north.

Fenglangguo is located in the north, bordering Wei.

Lin Chao lay in the carriage with his eyes slightly closed, while Xiaoyu massaged his shoulders.

The journey was arduous, yet Lin Chao did not feel tired.

Just then, the curtain was pulled back, and the voice of Qi Pinggui came through.

"Mu'er, you aren't young anymore; it's time to settle down and start a family. I hear the girls in Fenglan are quite nice; why not bring a few back to be your concubines? If you don't like them, having them as bed-warming maids is also fine."

Lin Chao was stunned for a moment.

He felt that the dolls of his father and mother were simply problematic.

They even knew how to nag him about marriage.

"Mm," Lin Chao replied casually.

Throughout the journey, he rarely spoke to anyone.

After all, in the entire caravan, there were only four real living people, including himself.

"Sigh, this Fenglangguo is truly strange. The Fenglan people all say that the sky is round and the earth is also round, that the world is a sphere. But clearly, the sky is round and the earth is square; that has been the truth since ancient times." Qi Pinggui spoke, his voice filled with confusion, "Besides, if the earth were round and the world were a sphere, wouldn't the people on the other side fall off?"

Lin Chao smiled and did not answer.

However, he was also very curious about this world.

Up to now, he had not discovered which dynasty of Daxia this world corresponded to.

"But, it is clearly heaven is round and earth is square; this has been the truth since ancient times," Qi Pinggui said, his voice filled with doubt, "and if the earth were round, and the world were a ball, wouldn't the people on the other side fall off?"

This surprised Lin Chao.

In his previous few reincarnations, he had always gone to the past.

This time, he wondered where he was.

The journey was uneventful and very quiet.

They encountered bandits a few times along the way, but after Wei Fangsong displayed his formidable strength and they paid some passage money, the road remained unobstructed.

Originally, Miss Ping, who had been sitting in the front carriage, would occasionally ride a horse to get some fresh air and chat with Lin Chao.

She seemed very timid, as if she were afraid of people.

In the entire team, she only spoke to Ding Yi, Lin Chao, and Wei Fangsong.

Toward everyone else, she always harbored some fear in her heart.

That was why she was willing to chat with Lin Chao.

Wei Fangsong watched this scene and revealed a playful smile.

"I heard there is an Immortal Corpse in Fenglangguo; has Miss Ping ever seen it?" Lin Chao asked casually.

Toward others, she always felt a bit more fear in her heart.

That was why she was willing to chat with Lin Chao.

Wei Fangsong watched this scene, revealing an amused smile.

"I heard there is an Immortal Corpse in Fenglangguo; has Miss Ping ever seen it?" Lin Chao asked casually.

A trace of the unusual flashed across Miss Ping's face, and she spoke, "How could I have ever seen such a legendary thing?"

"Miss Ping, do you happen to know the whereabouts of the Immortal Corpse?" Wei Fangsong, who was nearby, interjected to ask.

As a martial artist, Wei Fangsong naturally yearned for the Immortal Corpse as well.

That was the only path leading to the supreme realm of a martial artist.

"I don't know, but there are rumors in the pugilistic world.

A section of the Immortal's finger bone is in the hands of Empress Dowager Su of the Great Yan Dynasty.

The other parts of the Immortal Corpse are in the hands of that mysterious powerhouse who wiped out the Three-Color Pavilion."

Mentioning that mysterious powerhouse, Miss Ping's eyes lit up, filled with longing and admiration.

She had a deep feud with the Three-Color Pavilion.

Her mother had died at the hands of an assassin from the Three-Color Pavilion.

She held absolute hatred for the Three-Color Pavilion.

With the Three-Color Pavilion wiped out by a powerhouse, she was naturally immensely gratified, and felt even more admiration and awe for that powerhouse.

"In the hands of that mysterious powerhouse?" Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He did not have the Immortal's corpse on him.

"What do you mean by that?"

Miss Ping spoke, "Actually, the Pavilion Master of the Three-Color Pavilion was at the Grandmaster realm, and he had over a dozen Grandmasters and more than fifty First-Grade Experts under him; even if it were the current number one expert of Great Yan, they might not necessarily be able to completely wipe out the Three-Color Pavilion and still retreat unscathed.

Rumors in the pugilistic world say that this mysterious expert obtained the Immortal Corpse and has already reached the realm of a Heavenly Human."

"That is indeed possible." Wei Fangsong stroked his chin.

He had not expected that he and that mysterious expert shared quite a bit of fate, having actually visited the same mountain stronghold one after another.

Lin Chao did not respond.

Because he truly did not have the Immortal's finger bone.

Along the way, the journey was exhausting, and Lin Chao occasionally returned to the city to live a modern urban life.

Anyway, with the Reincarnation Simulator, he could travel between the two worlds at any time.

……

In the rental apartment.

Lin Chao took a deep breath.

"I'm tired of dry rations, I'll order a big meal."

After thinking about it, Lin Chao ordered a bowl of smooth pork liver noodles, then added two eggs—one fried egg and one braised egg.

This was very extravagant.

"Great Yan... Su Yunqiong..."

Lin Chao thought for a moment and performed a search on his computer.

However, after searching for a long time, he found no useful information.

That world seemed as if it did not exist in the history of Daxia.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He saw a short video.

In the short video, the sunset was like a broken rainbow, and a figure stood with his back to the world, holding a Spear in his hand, with thousands of troops and horses before him.

"The movie 'Great Demon: Black Ze' will be officially released on 5.20, please look forward to it!"

This short video was clearly a promotional advertisement.

The footage above was clearly a projection of the scene where Lin Chao Slayed the Wolf Guard.

On the short video, there were many comments.

"Talk about riding the coattails of a trend!"

"This company is talented!"

"It's probably filmed by that company that made 'Hero'; they've always said they were going to film a second 'Hero'.

Now, hearing the news about Black Ze, they didn't even change the plot, they just changed the protagonist's name to Black Ze."

"This video is too ridiculous; the Black Ze in it faces thousands of troops and horses alone—are you saying he wiped out the Wolf Guard all by himself?"

"Probably even more absurd than 'Hero', another big trashy movie."

"I have to say, these special effects are so real, I almost feel like this isn't a movie, but real history."

"Did you travel back a thousand years and film it with your phone?"

"I can testify, the person above filmed it, I am that phone."

"I can also testify, I am that Giant Wolf, I was terrified at the time."

Lin Chao glanced at the comments casually, feeling puzzled inside.

"Strange, why would the authorities be willing to broadcast this?"

Lin Chao could not figure it out.

Currently, the authorities had always been in a state of covering up the events at the Dahuang Mountain Range.

The heat surrounding the discussions about Black Ze had also decreased quite a bit.

At this time, what was the meaning of releasing such a video, or rather, a movie?

Lin Chao did not figure it out, but he did not pay it much mind.

To him, this was a beneficial thing.

After all, with this movie playing, his reputation could increase, which would also add quite a few Reincarnation Points.

He stopped worrying about Heize's affairs; in any case, his corpse would not appear for a while.

"I wonder how the Dao Sword's purging of the Strange Breath is going now."

Northern Desert, Tianhuang Desert.

A group of people carrying quite a bit of luggage appeared here.

Leading them was Zhang Shaoqin, whose expression was somewhat excited at this moment.

"Soon, we will be able to see the Dao Sword.

I reckon that once the Strange Breath here is purged, the Dao Sword will take me to find the Master."

Some time ago, the unusual movements on Taiqing Mountain stirred up a wave of commotion online.

Zhang Shaoqin naturally took note of this matter.

The Divine Dragon, lizards, Flying Swords, and so on—all of this indicated that the matter was not simple.

Zhang Shaoqin felt more and more that the Master was not dead, that the Master had returned and used the Dao Sword to Slay the enemies from another world.

Beside him, Liu Yao also looked excited: "Shaoqin, when you see your Master, put in a good word for me and see if he can teach me a few tricks."

Originally, Liu Yao had wanted to learn a few tricks from Zhang Shaoqin.

However, Zhang Shaoqin said that without the Master's instructions, the Extreme Spirit Martial Dao the Master taught him could not be passed on to others.

"No problem," Zhang Shaoqin replied.

Just then, Zhang Shaoqin stopped in his tracks.

"Look quickly, the Dao Sword."

Liu Yao, the Three Extremes Sect Master, Xiaorou, and the others immediately looked over as well.

High in the sky, the Dao Sword radiated Gold light, entangled with white mist.

Watching this scene, Liu Yao felt a sense of yearning.

Suddenly, Zhang Shaoqin's expression changed slightly: "What is that?"

Liu Yao and the others looked over and saw that many images had suddenly appeared around the Dao Sword.

In the images, it was a dark night, with the lights of ten thousand homes dimming.

The streets were crowded with people like a dragon; there were men and women wearing gorgeous clothes, and all sorts of noisy sounds and hawking could be heard, accompanied by songs and laughter.

"Is this a mirage?" Liu Yao widened his eyes, feeling somewhat uncertain.

"This is the Fenglan Temple Fair!" Xiaorou's face revealed an excited expression, "I didn't expect that we would actually have the fortune to see the Fenglan Temple Fair."

Fenglan Temple Fair?

Everyone present was very confused.

What is the Fenglan Temple Fair?
