Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 383 Stealing Life

The day after the thieves left, Lin Jiang and his group did not linger in the same place, but continued on their way.

Lin Jiang was not worried at all that the thieves would lose track of them. The fact that the group had attacked their carriage for two consecutive days was enough to tell that they must have some unusual methods in this area that allowed them to quickly track their movements.

In other words, if even a skilled thief like Lin Jiang couldn't find the star quickly, then Lin Jiang felt that the man's death was insignificant.

After a long day of travel, they finally arrived at the edge of an unusual place.

Before me lay a desolate wasteland, seemingly devoid of all color.

Although the surrounding grass was somewhat sparse, it was still tinged with green; further ahead, however, the grass seemed to have been stripped of its vitality by some force, leaving only a monotonous black and white.

It is obvious that a powerful star once fell here.

Lin Jiang felt the scroll in his arms was even hotter than before, and Liang Huashan was clearly gazing at the outside world through the scroll.

If you continue forward, you will reach the place where Master Ye perished.

Lin Jiang had previously mentioned to Liang Huashan that Liang Huashan had visited the place where Ye Dajia had fallen more than once, but each time he had come to nothing and could only stare blankly at this colorless wasteland.

Over time, he stopped coming here altogether.

I fear that seeing this place will remind them of many things from the past, leaving them heartbroken.

Revisiting this place through the scroll, even though Liang Huashan remained silent, Lin Jiang clearly sensed the lingering emotions within him.

However, since it was already late, Lin Jiang took out the scroll and whispered something to it:
"Come back in tomorrow."

The scroll was slightly warm for a moment, then the warmth quietly dissipated.

Lin Jiang could roughly sense that the gaze that had been fixed on the scroll had disappeared.

Liang Huashan still didn't say anything.

Lin Jiang carefully put away the scroll.

Just as they were about to go upstairs to rest, they saw a carriage slowly approaching on the vast horizon.

The carriage was somewhat unusual in design, with its walls carved with elegant floral patterns, giving it a refined and elegant feel, suggesting that its owner had a refined taste.

It slowly came to a stop in front of Lin Jiang's carriage, and the carriage door opened immediately.

Lin Jiang clearly saw that Dao Cheng had actually gotten off the carriage.

Lin Jiang got off his carriage and walked straight toward Dao Cheng.

"Hey, you guys are really hard to find now that you've changed locations. It took me almost half a day to find you!"

The thief sighed deeply.

"We can't stay there forever."

As Lin Jiang spoke, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the carriage.

His gaze passed over the wooden door of the carriage and glimpsed inside: it seemed that a woman was sitting in a chair with an extremely alluring posture, wearing a thin dress.

Given that the thief had gotten off from inside the carriage, Lin Jiang could roughly guess what the two had been doing inside.

The problem was, Lin Jiang felt something was off when he saw the woman. Yet, it was the first time he had ever met her. It was very strange.

The thief, noticing Lin Jiang's gaze, shook his head:

"This is the woman I love, I can't give her to you."

"I have no intention of taking what others like."

Upon hearing this, the thief chuckled and then took out several treasures from his pocket, handing them to Lin Jiang.

Four of them were formed from Lin Jiang's mist, which Lin Jiang pretended to put into his pocket.

The rest were placed in a small box, which Lin Jiang took and found to be quite heavy.

Upon opening it, he found it indeed contained many seemingly impressive treasures, each with a different appearance, the specific effects of which Lin Jiang was unaware of.

"I've retrieved these items for you. Now, can you see if this thing on me can be removed?" The thief's tone was clearly tinged with unease.

Currently, his life is still in Lin Jiang's hands. As long as Lin Jiang is unwilling to abide by this deal, he will be in grave danger.

However, in that situation, he naturally had to do everything he could to survive. The thief was certain that the man before him should have some idea of ​​how much power the last spark of life could unleash.

However, Lin Jiang had no intention of doing anything to it. After confirming that all the items had been retrieved, Lin Jiang nodded.

He gently circulated his own Qi, and the unease within the thief's body quietly dissipated.

After carefully examining the situation, the thief breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Lin Jiang with a hint of surprise.

Although he hoped that Lin Jiang could lift the restriction on his body, he did not expect the other party to be so agreeable.

"I am happy to cooperate with you all in this way. I mean what I say. If I run into my old friends in the Dust Kingdom, they will inevitably take advantage of me."

"The main thing is to test your limits, and you might get furious." Lin Jiang shook his head slightly: "I still have something I want to cooperate with you on, and I don't want to see you die like this."

"Of course, of course." Now free from illness, the thief found Lin Jiang even more handsome than before. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"We have just arrived in the Dust Kingdom and should not have made enemies, but we have been attacked repeatedly along the way," Lin Jiang said. "Now that I think about it, perhaps a group of criminals from Daxing have fled to the Dust Kingdom to deceive the locals, which is why we have been hated."

"Dude, are you trying to get those guys out?"

"If possible, that would be even better." "I don't know much about the situation in the city, but I have heard that a group of people from Daxing have recently infiltrated the city. They have a mysterious thing called the Ascension Elixir, which is said to turn you into a star immediately after you eat it. With that thing, they are doing very well in the city."

As the thief finished speaking, a contemptuous smirk appeared on his lips:
"Instead of obsessing over external forces to increase cultivation, it's better to cultivate diligently. The methods of cultivation depend entirely on one's own hard work and exploration. What does it have to do with others?"

"The problem lies with that elixir they mentioned."

Upon hearing the name, Lin Jiang immediately knew what "thief" referred to and replied:
"That thing is extremely dangerous and can easily bring about natural disasters. The reason why those criminals in Daxing can't survive in Daxing is because they are obsessed with this thing."

Upon hearing this, the thief's expression didn't change much.

He had no sense of belonging to Dachen; to him, this place was merely a place with relatively relaxed rules where he could catch his breath.

Even if it's destroyed, it won't matter to him.

But then he thought that he had just secured this opportunity to travel through the inner city, and if Da Chen made a mistake now, all his previous plans would be in vain.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to help these people in front of him, and the thief spoke up:
"I'll try my best to think about this, but whether it will work out or not is still unknown."

"Good work."

The thief turned around, got into the carriage, and closed the door tightly.

He casually pulled the girl next to him into his arms.

"Master, who are those people?"

"Just a few unfamiliar faces." The thief's lips curled slightly as his hand roamed over the girl in his arms: "The matter I entrusted to you must not be handled with the slightest error."

"Don't worry, Master. I've been immersed in the world of Peking Opera for many years, and I'm sure I won't make any mistakes in this kind of job."

The body of the woman before him was that of the Sixth Young Master's third sister. After the Sixth Young Master arranged to meet her, the thief was ready to swiftly steal her life and exchange it with his most beloved pet slave.

In this way, the third sister instantly became his woman.

Naturally, thieves are quite careful in selecting their accomplices.

Unlike the Sixth Young Master, this Third Sister still held a certain amount of authority in the city, and their capable father would occasionally cast his gaze upon her.

If he were discovered, he would probably have to flee the Dust Kingdom overnight.

His favorite servant's main training method was magic tricks, and he was once known as "A Hundred Faces, A Thousand Transformations." He had been chased and killed in the Dust Kingdom, but was rescued by him and then followed him. The two were truly birds of a feather, completely unaware of any impropriety between them.

As for the Sixth Young Master...

After stealing the life of this third sister, the thief also conveniently stole her life as well.

This sixth young master, however, was far less concerned.

He was an outsider in politics, and he had only obeyed his orders before in order to use him as a stepping stone to advance his own career.

"When I get back, I will definitely investigate these Daxing people thoroughly and find out what they are up to."

The thief whispered to the girl in his arms, then chuckled and pressed down on her: "You little vixen, you've got a new body, so let me have a taste of you."

"Hey."

Lin Jiang, watching the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, clattered to a halt and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

I don't know if using this person as an informant is reliable or not.

Lin Jiang composed himself and took the large pile of things back to the carriage.

The others also gathered around.

Lin Jiang placed all his treasures on the table and examined them carefully. He found that most of them were not as effective as the first four items, but a few of them were quite interesting.

For example, there is a cup that can be used three times between sunrise and sunset, from which delicious wines can be dispensed, such as yellow wine, white wine, or even wine unique to the Western Regions.

There's also a kitchen knife; just cut into the raw meat, and the next moment that piece of meat will become perfectly cooked roast meat.

Lin Jiang felt that this thing might be just an ordinary treasure sold in the Divine City back then, but after the Divine City was destroyed, this thing was also taken out as a treasure.

According to the intelligence I received before coming here, the entrance to the Divine City has been occupied by several powerful nobles from the Dust Kingdom. If I want to enter, I must get their permission.

Although Lin Jiang was curious about the Divine City, he had no interest in arguing with the nobles of the Dust Kingdom.

After all, he had more important places to go.

Are sacred mountains more important than divine cities?
After Lin Jiang finished collecting the other treasures, he distributed the ones with combat power to Xiao Shanshen and Jiang Jinyue, so that the two of them would have some other means when they fought.

Jiang Jinyue expressed her sincere gratitude and accepted the gift.

Although Xiaoshan Shen was also very happy, her expression now showed a hint of worry.

Lin Jiang knew what she was thinking.

She also wanted to find Ye Wanzhuang.

Although he doesn't have the same obsession as Liang Huashan, it's unrealistic to expect the little guy to remain so carefree at this time and place.

After finishing tidying up, Lin Jiang went to the window again and looked out at the burial ground that had lost its color.

We'll be entering this area tomorrow.

I don't know if I can find the person that Xiaoshan Shen and Liang Huashan have been longing to find.
