Chapter 88: The Scene of a Fortuitous Encounter
With a wave of Lin An’s hand, a vast power swept out, and the black-and-white ashen flames pounced towards the crowd like a huge dragon.
Only the Cang Wu Mountain’s sect leader had sensed the terrifying power contained within the black-and-white ashen flames, and he hurriedly shouted, “Be careful! This thing...”
However, before the sect leader could finish his words, everyone had been directly engulfed by the black-and-white ashen flames, and they were all completely devoured.

After killing off all the elders and the sect master from the Cang Wu Mountain, Lin An felt that even if some cultivators escaped, they would no longer cause any trouble.
He trudged down the mountain path, and after he had walked for some few minutes, a sedan chair slowly appeared in the distance and came up the mountain.
Lin An ignored it and whistled as he leisurely brushed past the palanquin.
Suddenly, the curtain beside the palanquin was pulled back, and a handsome man spoke to Lin An. “Fellow Daoist, may I ask how to get to the entrance of the Cang Wu Mountain?”
Lin An raised his eyebrows and replied, “The Cang Wu gang no longer exists in this world. There is only the Cang Wu Mountain. If you are going to the Cang Wu Mountain gang, then I don’t know, but if you are going to the Cang Wu Mountain, then you are already on the right path.”
After Lin An finished speaking, he sauntered away from the palanquin with his hands behind his back.
The handsome man didn’t understand what Lin An meant, so he continued to go up the mountain.
Soon, the traveling party came upon the mountain gate that Lin An had destroyed.
At that moment, the base of the Cang Wu Mountain was dead silent. The ground was covered in blood, but there wasn’t a single corpse.
The handsome man was instantly shocked. The expressions of the subordinates carrying his sedan chair also turned hideous. They all looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
“This... Could this be the doing of that brat we passed along the way?”
“Although the Cang Wu Mountain isn’t a large sect, it’s still one of the most feared sects in the Ghana Empire. How could one person wipe it out?”
“No wonder that brat said that the Cang Wu Mountain gang no longer exists in this world. Could it be that he looks young, but he is in fact an old monster in the infant transformation stage?”
The handsome man and his subordinates were all stunned, and they felt that the reality before them was too absurd.
...
A few days later, Lin An encountered another nascent soul stage demonic beast in the magic forest.
After he killed it, he received a lucky drop, golden core stage advancement pill.
Once he consumed it, Lin An advanced to the second level of the peak golden core stage.
He continued to walk for some distance, but suddenly, he saw a ghastly scene that was a few meters from his position. Several corpses were strewn all over the place, and fresh blood had dyed the area red.
Instantly, Lin An cried out in surprise.
However, after he composed himself, he continued to move forward.
He carefully navigated the scene and walked towards a nearby river.
As Lin An passed by the river, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Just as he was about to investigate, the sound of water splashing suddenly came from the side.
When Lin An turned around, he saw a strange fish that was the size of a person, and its mouth was wide open. It immediately splashed out of the water and bit towards him.
“Lightning Dharma Body!”
A golden light instantly surged out of Lin An’s body, and he disappeared just as the huge strange fish was about to shred him to pieces.
His Lightning Dharma Body had been strengthened by the cloudless spell, and its speed had increased by eighty percent. Lin An had disappeared so fast that he had left a mirage at his original spot.
However, he did not flee from the strange fish. Instead, he simply moved to the side and pulled out the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword to cut open its body.
Instantly, a gush of fresh blood splattered all over Lin An, but the strange fish escaped back into the river. Lin An was immediately surprised after he saw that the strike from the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword had not killed the strange fish.
“You still want to escape?”
Lin An held his sword tightly and chased after it.
As he pursued the nascent soul demonic beast, the two cultivators who had been hiding in the shadows by the side of the road were instantly fascinated.
As they watched the scene before them, the faces of the two young women were filled with shock.
A golden core stage cultivator was chasing after a nascent soul stage demonic beast? How was that possible?
The scene was simply too unbelievable. Since the physical fitness of demonic beasts was superior to that of humans, even cultivators at the same level of cultivation would find it very difficult to deal with demonic beasts.
Just as the two women gazed at Lin An in amazement, the demonic fish that was running for its life suddenly spoke, “Human, don’t go too far!”
“Go too far? Aren’t you the one who wanted to eat me? Don’t you think you crossed the line when you attacked me?” Lin An cursed back.
Gradually, his lighting avatar got closer and closer to the demonic beast.
Once he was within reach, Lin An lifted the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword in his hand and suddenly slashed it.
In the next second, the river was cut off, and the strange fish was also cut in half.
The two young women who had been hiding in the shadows by the side of the road were shocked beyond words.
Lin An had killed a nascent soul stage demonic beast with just one slash.
The river had also been temporarily cut off because of the overly powerful impact from Lin An’s strike. What kind of terrifying force had he used?
Even as he had been chasing after the strange fish, Lin An had already sensed the two people hiding in the shadows. However, since they had not shown an intention to harm him, he had no interest in caring about them.
He was about to turn around and leave when the voices of the two women suddenly rang out behind him.
“Fellow Daoist! Can you help us?”
Lin An turned around and looked at the two women who were deliberately trying to hide their appearances.
“What’s the matter?”
His voice was clear and calm, just like the mountain stream in the early morning.
After a few seconds, one lady said, “To be honest, my sister, and I were originally from the Imperial City. We were out on a mission and didn’t expect to be ambushed by our enemies. Our servants and guards were all killed in battle before we managed to escape. However, the crisis hasn’t been resolved yet. I wonder if you can escort the two of us back to the capital. I will definitely return the favor!”
Lin An was stunned when he heard the lady’s words. Had the two women escaped from the ghastly attack that he had seen upstream?
The encounter seemed to be too much of a coincidence.
Lin An quickly thought about the lady’s proposal and felt that since he would have to pass by the Imperial City to return to the Jiuxiao Sect, he could lend a hand to the two ladies. Therefore, he agreed to their request.
The woman was very touched when she heard Lin An grant her request, and she and quickly promised, “I will definitely remember your actions. When we return to the Imperial City, I will definitely return the favor!”
Lin An was about to say something polite, but suddenly, a few figures appeared in the distance, and they turned into a blood-red light before flying towards them at an astonishing speed.
Even as the cultivators drew closer, Lin An couldn’t see their faces clearly. Each of them was wearing a mask and a black robe, and the fluctuations around them indicated that they were all in the nascent soul cultivation stage!
The black-robed cultivators did not say a single word. As assassins, they paid the most attention to efficiency, and they never communicated with their targets.
In an instant, they turned into a bloody light, and the tip of their knives pointed straight towards Lin An’s heart.
