Chapter 89: Reincarnation of an Immortal (5600-word chapter, please subscribe)

Above the vast desert, the scorching sun hung in the sky.

A group of one hundred people traveled slowly.

In the caravan, Wei Fangsong kept stealing glances at Lin Chao.

Ding Yi and Miss Ping were the same.

As for the others, they seemed uninterested in anything at all.

Of course, with the exception of Qi Pinggui.

Just a moment ago, those hundred-odd soldiers wearing armor were truly too unexpected.

There were old and young, and even blind and lame men, yet they all wore armor together, moving in perfect unison, appearing well-trained, as if they were once a formidable army.

Such a formidable army had shouted in unison to Qi Mu: "Please, Young Master, restore our Wu'an, strengthen our Wu'an."

This could not help but make one think too much.

Wei Fangsong looked at Qi Mu beside him, his heart already filled with many guesses.

Wu'an, Young Master.

Looking again at Qi Mu's age, and the fact that he was surnamed Qi, it was very likely that Qi Mu was a descendant of the famous Wu'an Lord.

This caused a trace of astonishment in Wei Fangsong's heart.

He had not expected that such an obscure young master would have such a noble background.

Miss Ping and Ding Yi also had the same suspicion.

Only Qi Pinggui's expression was not good.

Suddenly, he ducked into the carriage: "Mu'er, are you not my biological son?"

Qi Pinggui came to question him.

Lin Chao was stunned.

This puppet really shouldn't have been made with too much heart.

There were too many thoughts.

He did not answer.

Qi Pinggui's expression changed slightly, and he cursed, "Sure enough, that woman Cui Yun gave me a green hat."

Lin Chao watched this scene, unable to laugh or cry.

"Father, don't overthink it." Lin Chao spoke, his innate vocal charm activated, "I am naturally the child of you and Mother."

Hearing Lin Chao's voice, Qi Pinggui's expression gradually improved.

Watching Qi Pinggui get out of the carriage, Lin Chao sighed: "Choosing this family was truly a pit."

This family business is truly too difficult.

Five days later, the group had entered the territory of Fenglan.

Along the way, they encountered more horse bandits.

However, with Wei Fangsong holding the line, plus the hundred-odd guards, they did not encounter any problems.

Only Ding Yi looked worried.

Up until now, they had not encountered any assassins from the Wind and Rain Tower, which was extremely abnormal.

But fortunately, they were almost there, and safety issues no longer existed.

"Ding Yi, no need to worry. What if the assassins from the Wind and Rain Tower were delayed by other matters?" Miss Ping persuaded from the side.

She naturally did not know that the Wind and Rain Tower had indeed dispatched assassins, but unfortunately, they had been captured by someone.

The group of over a hundred people marched majestically through the desert.

Half a day later, a sound of hoofbeats suddenly arrived.

Miss Ping looked into the distance, an excited expression appearing on her face: "My older brother has come to pick me up!"

Soon, several hundred cavalrymen approached rapidly, led by a tall and straight man.

"Xiao Ping!"

The tall and straight man saw his younger sister, a joyful expression appearing on his face.

"Brother." Miss Ping was full of excitement.

After exchanging pleasantries with his sister, the tall and straight man looked at Lin Chao: "Thank you to the honorable escort agency for protecting my sister back to Fenglan. Ahead is the Fenglan Wangcheng, and it will be dark soon. Why don't you all come to my Fenglan Wangcheng to rest and make some adjustments?"

"Good." Lin Chao agreed.

This escort mission had not encountered any major risks along the way; it could be said to be extremely simple.

Ding Yi still gave the remaining silver to Lin Chao.

Soon, the group headed toward the Fenglan Wangcheng.

Lin Chao's gaze shifted slightly, and ancient memories began to backtrack.

The architectural style of the city walls before him was truly too familiar.

He could not help but touch the back of his head.

He remembered that when he was named Lin Ping, he had once gone to a small country called the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom to remove Strange Breath.

As a result, it happened to be the Fenglan Temple Fair, and the back of his head had taken several hundred blows.

If it weren't for his powerful martial strength, he reckoned he would have been dragged away long ago.

Was the Fenglan here the same country as the Fenglan in his memories?

Could it be that this was still the world of his previous life, but what kind of country was Dayan?

"May I ask, who is the current king of the Fenglan Kingdom?" Lin Chao asked casually.

Beside him, the tall and straight man's expression changed slightly.

It was the first time he had encountered someone asking directly about the king.

However, thinking that the other party was from the Great Yan Dynasty, he understood.

"The current king is His Majesty Chong'an."

Lin Chao shook his head; he had never heard this name before.

However, when His Majesty Chong'an was mentioned, a look of pride appeared on the tall man's face.

"His Majesty Chong'an is the person most like our ancestor, His Majesty Feng'an.

Now, under the leadership of His Majesty Chong'an, our Fenglan has once again restored a peaceful and prosperous age."

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He was familiar with the name Feng'an.

Back then, when he went to Fenglan, the ruler of the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom was Feng'an.

He had even met Feng'an once.

"This His Majesty Feng'an is..." Lin Chao voiced his confusion.

"His Majesty Feng'an was the king of our Fenglan three hundred years ago.

At that time, the situation in Fenglan was turbulent, experiencing a pattern that had not changed for a thousand years.

It was His Majesty Feng'an who led us Fenglan people to pass down and continue our heritage."

Lin Chao noticed that when His Majesty Feng'an was mentioned, the Fenglan people present all showed expressions of awe.

Clearly, that His Majesty Feng'an was very popular in Fenglan.

Moreover, even when praising the current king, they said he was like His Majesty Feng'an, which shows that Feng'an was extremely popular.

However, if Lin Chao remembered correctly, three hundred years after Feng'an, it was still the period of the Dahuang Dynasty.

Now, why did the Great Yan Dynasty appear?

Suddenly, Lin Chao thought of something.

In history, the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom seemed to be a flash in the pan.

It seemed that it encountered a natural disaster in the middle and eventually disappeared.

Could it be... that it came to this world?

If it was not a coincidence, Lin Chao felt that this matter revealed something strange.

What kind of power could allow a country to come to this world?

Entering the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom and looking at the familiar buildings on the streets of the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom,

Lin Chao felt as if he had truly returned to the scene when he first entered the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom.

"Brother Qi will stay here, right? I have already paid the money." After Miss Ping's brother finished speaking, he left with his people.

After all, Lin Chao and his group were just people from an escort agency.

Everyone was just a chance acquaintance, and there was not much to interact or talk about.

"Young Master, I will go buy some supplies first, which can be sold after returning to Lin'an," Wei Fangsong said from the side.

When they were out on an escort mission, sometimes when they went to a place, they would also buy some supplies and then sell them to earn the price difference.

"Go back?" Lin Chao looked at Wei Fangsong with a smile on his face, "I don't plan to go back."

"Ah?" Wei Fangsong was stunned.

"You all go back first; I will stay in the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom alone for a period of time."

"This?" Wei Fangsong was puzzled and had many questions in his heart.

However, he thought of the hundreds of soldiers who called Qi Mu "Young Master" back then.

Many thoughts arose in his heart.

The Young Master is the son of Wu'an Lord; staying in Fenglan must be for his own reasons.

"Very well, Young Master." Wei Fangsong did not disobey, "Should we tell the Master about this?"

"No need." Lin Chao shook his head, "Help me buy a courtyard here; I want to live for a while."

"Very well." Wei Fangsong accepted the order and was about to leave.

At this moment, Lin Chao looked at Wei Fangsong and said slowly: "Uncle Wei, how long have you been in our Ping'an Escort Agency?"

"Four years." Wei Fangsong did not hesitate at all.

"Over these four years, you have been loyal to our Ping'an Escort Agency, working hard without complaint; you are a pretty good person."

Indeed, when Lin Chao first met Wei Fangsong, he had once borrowed a sword from him.

Of course, at that time, Lin Chao had disguised himself, and Wei Fangsong did not recognize him.

Lin Chao had quite a good impression of Wei Fangsong.

Wei Fangsong was slightly stunned, not knowing why Lin Chao was saying these things.

"Are you willing to continue serving me, serving the Qi Family?"

"I..."

Wei Fangsong knew that the "serving" the Young Master spoke of now was different from the previous serving.

He had already retired from the Jianghu; now, if he served the Young Master, it would be re-entering the Jianghu.

He was very hesitant.

However, he thought of his enemy.

One cannot run away forever, right?

It was clearly his deep blood feud, yet he was the one being hunted by his enemy like a wild dog.

Should such days continue?

The Young Master is the son of Wu'an Lord.

Perhaps only by following the Young Master would there be a chance for revenge.

"I am willing!" Wei Fangsong made up his mind.

Lin Chao smiled, revealing a satisfied expression: "Good."

He looked at Wei Fangsong and spoke slowly: "Uncle Wei, you use palm techniques, right?"

Wei Fangsong paused.

At Ping'an Escort Agency, he had always used blade techniques.

In truth, what he was most skilled in was palm techniques!

Otherwise, he would not have been called the Blood-Hand Butcher.

"Uncle Wei's palm techniques are overly rigid and fierce, yet they lack resilience.

As the saying goes, that which is too rigid is easily broken; if Uncle Wei wishes to advance further in Martial Arts, you must learn to combine hardness and softness."

As Lin Chao spoke, a palm strike suddenly appeared in his hand.

"This palm technique is called Taiji Palm; it has more than enough rigidity and is full of resilience."

Possessing the talent of an Ancient Martial Artist, Lin Chao's Martial Arts cultivation and aptitude had reached a heaven-defying stage.

Taiji Palm was created by him, combining the Taiji Fist from his past life.

At this moment, he displayed it, clearly intending to improve Wei Fangsong's strength.

Beside him, Wei Fangsong's expression changed slightly.

"This palm technique?"

He was a person skilled in palm techniques.

His Blood Hand Palm was rigid, fierce, and overbearing, enough to crush Gold and split stone.

However, upon seeing Lin Chao's Taiji Palm, he realized that his Blood Hand Palm only belonged to third-rate martial arts.

The palm technique before his eyes was exquisite and extraordinary; perhaps only those Grandmasters could display such a technique?

"This palm technique is called Taiji Palm; I shall impart it to you to give you more ability to protect yourself."

Lin Chao had long since seen that Wei Fangsong had been stuck at the Second Grade stage for a long time.

What Wei Fangsong lacked was softness, was resilience.

By imparting Taiji Palm to Wei Fangsong, it would likely not be long before Wei Fangsong could truly step into the First Grade stage.

Relying on Taiji Palm, even if Wei Fangsong faced an Ordinary Grandmaster expert, even if he could not win, escaping would be no different.

As for loyalty?

Possessing the Linguistic Charm talent, Lin Chao did not care about loyalty at all.

"Many thanks, Young Master." Wei Fangsong looked at that palm strike of Lin Chao's.

He naturally understood the preciousness of that palm technique.

If he could comprehend it, he could directly step into the ranks of the First Grade.

His combat power was already astonishing, and with the addition of Taiji Palm, he had the confidence to fight even an Ordinary Grandmaster.

The Young Master had actually given him such a powerful palm technique.

Moreover, he could see his flaws.

Was there an expert by the Young Master's side?

Wei Fangsong was shocked internally, thinking this.

It seemed that the expert must be extremely strong, at least a Grandmaster expert.

Otherwise, they would not have given him such a powerful palm technique.

"Wei Fangsong swears to serve the Young Master until death!" Wei Fangsong knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

The grace of imparting martial arts is heavier than Mount Tai.

Lin Chao did not have much of a reaction; instead, he said: "After you return to Lin'an, help me organize an intelligence network. As for manpower, I will slowly supplement it for you."

What Lin Chao lacked most was not manpower.

With his Puppet Master talent, he could mass-produce over a dozen puppets in a single day.

Of course, wanting to create those Grandmaster-level puppets was not so simple.

"Good." Wei Fangsong suppressed the excitement in his heart.

The people from Ping'an Escort Agency had all left, with only two escorts choosing to stay in Fenglan Ancient Kingdom just like Lin Chao.

The entire Fenglangguo had not become different because of the addition of Lin Chao.

During these days, Lin Chao had kept to himself, occasionally leaving the bookstore.

Having stayed in Fenglan Ancient Kingdom for a long time, he had obtained much information.

"This Fenglan Ancient Kingdom seems to truly be the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom from my past life.

It seems that because of the appearance of the Immortal Corpse Bone, Fenglan Ancient Kingdom underwent a great change and arrived here."

Lin Chao had this speculation in his heart.

He was even more curious about the Immortal's corpse.

While investigating the Immortal Corpse Bone, Lin Chao opened a bookstore.

He wanted to obtain more ratings; a home could not be left behind.

This time, he did not intend to use puppets to form a family.

That kind of home was too hypocritical.

Can one person not form a home?

"Young Master."

At this time, the two puppet escorts walked over.

They were pulling a cart, and there were quite a few materials inside the cart.

"Mm." Watching the puppet dart master put down the materials, Lin Chao nodded with satisfaction.

Half a day later.

Sweat slid down Lin Chao's forehead.

Behind him, a thin and sturdy man appeared.

This man had dull eyes and looked just like a dead person.

However, inside his body, he possessed powerful strength.

"Finally, I've created another Grandmaster-level puppet."

Lin Chao sighed.

Creating a Grandmaster-level puppet is extremely complex.

Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but most importantly, the materials are scarce.

Having arrived in the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom for nearly a year, he had only created five Grandmaster-level puppets.

"From now on, you shall be called Li Huai; go to Lin'an."

Lin Chao spoke.

Immediately, this sturdy puppet finished bowing and turned to leave.

Lin Chao walked out of the courtyard, and a woman in her forties or fifties walked toward him.

The woman wore a bright smile: "Brother Xiao Qi, going to the bookstore again?"

"Yes, Wang Yi," Lin Chao replied.

Wang Yi and her husband ran a breakfast stall; some time ago, when heavy rain came, the bricks and tiles of Wang Yi's house fell and hit her husband.

At that time, it was Lin Chao who sent her husband to the medical clinic.

Toward Lin Chao, Wang Yi had always been very enthusiastic.

"Brother Xiao Qi, I've scouted another young lady for you recently.

She has a slim waist and big hips, definitely good for bearing children!"

Upon learning that Lin Chao was not yet married, Wang Yi would often try to arrange a marriage for him.

Lin Chao smiled: "Wang Yi, I don't want to start a family yet."

"Xiao Qi, you have such a large courtyard and have always been alone; it's strangely lonely, there's no life at all, it doesn't even look like a home."

Lin Chao continued to smile: "Wang Yi, when you find a young lady more beautiful than the Princess, come find me again."

The greatest beauty of the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom was the Princess.

"Xiao Qi, your standards are too high."

Lin Chao went to the bookstore and suddenly thought.

Should he find a wife?

If he did that, wouldn't he have a home?

The rating might be very high.

Lin Chao fell into deep thought.

Fenglan Ancient Kingdom.

Inside the royal palace.

The ruler of Fenglangguo, Chong'an, had a look of worry on his face: "How is it?"

"The Great General of Wei, Cao Wuji, said that if we do not hand over the Immortal Corpse Bone, he will personally lead men to our palace and take away the concubines and the Princess." Beside him, a man in armor showed a look of hatred on his face!

The Great General of Wei, Cao Wuji, was one of the top three powerhouses in Wei, a martial artist at the Grandmaster realm.

"What is the view of the Great Yan Dynasty?" Ruler Chong'an sighed.

Fenglangguo is small and its people are weak.

"Great Yan has not responded..."

"Sigh," Ruler Chong'an sighed.

He naturally knew what the Great Yan Dynasty was thinking.

What Great Yan wanted was to let Cao Wuji make a move to see if Fenglangguo still had any Heavenly Humans.

Nowadays, Fenglangguo was still doing well, primarily because of the deterrence of a Heavenly Human.

However, Chong'an knew better than anyone that the current Fenglangguo had no Heavenly Human at all.

"Ruler, then what shall we...?"

Chong'an closed his eyes: "Heaven is going to destroy my Fenglan."

At this moment, a scholar nearby had a slight change in expression; he leaned into Chong'an's ear and whispered: "Ruler, when the Heavenly Human Meng Lie passed away, he once said that he had gained insight from the Immortal Corpse Bone.

He once left a prophecy that if one worshipped the Immortal Corpse Bone with the rites of an Immortal and the bone showed anomalies, the reincarnation of the Immortal would descend upon Fenglan.

His Majesty Feng'an once said that the Immortal had a connection with our Fenglan, and if he descended upon Fenglan, he would protect my Fenglan."

Chong'an looked at this scholar: "But... my Fenglan no longer has the Immortal Corpse Bone."

A trace of disappointment flashed in the scholar's eyes.

Does Fenglan really not have the Immortal Corpse Bone?

"How is it? Has there been any anomaly with the Immortal Corpse Bone?"

"None."

"Could it be..."

"That's not right..."

"The light of the Fluctuating Star points to the southwest; is the Immortal Reincarnation in our Fenglan Ancient Kingdom?"

"Is there really an Immortal Reincarnation?"

"Young Lady, Fenglan is very unsettled right now, do not run around."

"I know." A trace of worry hung on Wu Xiangyi's face.

She was already aware of the crisis within the royal palace.

Unfortunately, as a Princess of Fenglan, she could not help at all.

Now, she had left the royal palace, hoping to do something more for her father the King and for Fenglan.

Today, Fenglan is in imminent danger, and there is only one way to save it.

That is to find the body of the Immortal Reincarnation.

Not many people know this news right now.

Wu Xiangyi is one of them.

Because she is special.

During this time, she has been searching in the southwest region of the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom, but there is simply no sign of the Immortal Reincarnation.

The Heavenly Human Meng Lie once said that when one comes into close contact with an Immortal's remains, there will be a slight mutation.

However, as these days passed, that small piece of bone inside her body still had no changes.

Suddenly, Wu Xiangyi stopped her footsteps.

In front of her was a bookstore.

The owner of the bookstore had a very good temperament.

Wu Xiangyi had entered the bookstore once before, and the Immortal's bone had absolutely no reaction.

This indicated that the owner of that bookstore was definitely not the Immortal Reincarnation.

This did not exceed Wu Xiangyi's expectations.

Where would the body of an Immortal Reincarnation be so easy to find?

Or rather, there is no Immortal Reincarnation at all; everything is a scam.

After thinking about it, Wu Xiangyi felt it was better not to go there.

Just then, in the next second, Wu Xiangyi stopped her footsteps.

She saw a familiar figure walking out of the bookstore.

"Sister Zhao Ran, why are you here?" Wu Xiangyi walked over to greet her.

She knew that Sister Zhao Ran was a person of Dayan and a powerful martial artist.

Even the strongest guard Commander in the royal palace was no match for Sister Zhao Ran.

Wu Xiangyi also wanted to be as strong as Sister Zhao Ran; perhaps then she could protect Fenglan.

Zhao Ran was in a red dress, appearing exceptionally clear and cold; her voice was also very cold, as if she did not eat the food of mortals.

"Wang Yi asked me to come and see the young master of this bookstore."

"This is... matchmaking?" Zhao Ran understood immediately.

She was a bit puzzled; did Sister Zhao Ran need matchmaking?

Moreover, with Sister Zhao Ran's strength, even if she were to marry, she would likely marry a powerhouse.

The bookstore owner looked... refined, but as for martial prowess... he looked weak and scholarly, not very strong.

Watching Zhao Ran leave, a new thought entered Wu Xiangyi's mind.

In the following days, she often came to this bookstore.

She discovered that the bookstore owner was truly very leisurely.

He often did not open for business, seemingly sleeping in at home.

Furthermore, he seemed to be very wealthy, as if opening the bookstore was just a hobby.

And for some reason, the more she looked at the bookstore owner, the more she felt that his every word and action contained an unfathomable meaning.

Especially when she heard him speak at times, she felt even more as if she were listening to sacred words.

However, the people beside her did not have this feeling.

"Could it be that he is a hidden master of the world?"

This young, inexperienced princess who loved reading storybooks developed a great interest in the bookstore owner.

"If this is the case, doesn't it mean that even without an Immortal Reincarnation, our Fenglan can still be saved?"

At the same time, inside the room, Lin Chao opened a book.

"Strange, I didn't use any prophetic charm, so why do I always feel like I've had a slight influence on that woman?"
