Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 420 Going Alone
The little golden man quickly explained, but it was to no avail, as he soon learned how the stone sculptures moved.

These stone sculptures are the pinnacle of the celestial beings of that time. If they were intact, each one would possess cultivation levels between the eighth and ninth heavens, making them extremely powerful treasures.

Normally, they are placed in the real world to guard this sacred site for the celestial beings and prevent external attacks. However, during the great battle with the immortals, the stone sculptures suffered impacts from the immortals, and most of their outer shells were shattered, naturally causing their cultivation level to decline considerably.

The key point is that the source of control for these stone sculptures is not inside the sculptures themselves.

To prevent manipulation, its core controller is hidden deep within the Zhixian Mountain. Therefore, if Lin Jiang wants to directly strip these stone sculptures of their control, he must venture to the deepest part of the mountain.

At that time, the little golden men will be able to seize control of them through certain means.

But there is no doubt that just hearing about it makes one realize how difficult this task is.

If he wants to fight his way back, he must break through Li Jinyue's encirclement. Li Jinyue is by no means stupid, and when she sees Lin Jiang rushing over, she will definitely do her best to stop him.

At present, this does not seem like a wise choice.

Ke Linjiang scanned his surroundings:
Li Fuqi's men were using all sorts of techniques to desperately resist the stone sculptures' attack, while Li Jinyue was pressing closer from behind, stepping over piles of corpses.

The carriage pulled by Yu Wenyun emitted a dim candlelight, and Yi Er San was desperately using his magic to prevent the carriage from collapsing.

The two abandoned horses in the distance had long been torn to shreds by the ferocious shadow that was Li Jinyue in disguise, their blood and flesh soaking the ground.

If this continues, I fear everyone will perish here.

Li Fuqi and his gang were one thing, but Lin Jiang had no close relationship with them and would never risk his life for them.

However, these people traveling with them,
He absolutely cannot stand idly by.

And that little guy in the sleeve.

So Lin Jiang took out the small ginseng from his arms, along with the box containing the two demon cores.

Little Ginseng was also very anxious at this moment, but unfortunately she was of no use here.

She had just tried to use her own methods to fight against the remains in the sea of ​​corpses, but with little effect. Although her methods could sever the bodies when they hit the opponents, the limbs that fell to the ground were quickly repaired and new parts grew back in a very short time.

This resulted in almost no success in treating the small ginseng using various methods.

The two demon cores were teaching Little Ginseng what the Chaotic Qi Technique was, but the situation was too urgent, and even though Little Ginseng studied desperately, he could only learn a little bit of the basics.

When Lin Jiang brought the little ginseng out, it belatedly came to its senses, and it looked at Lin Jiang in confusion:
"what happened?"

Lin Jiang first placed her into Yu Wenyun's hands:

"Take her out in a bit."

The small ginseng was visibly startled when it fell into Yu Wenyun's hands, then flew into a rage:
"Liar! Liar! You said you wouldn't abandon me! You big liar! I never want to be friends with you again!"

Yu Wenyun's face also showed hesitation:

"Young master, tell me what to do, and I'll take care of it. I'm highly skilled; it shouldn't be a problem."

"Only I can handle this; you can't."

Lin Jiang tapped Xiao Shanshen's forehead lightly with his finger, then turned around without hesitation amidst Xiao Shanshen's angry curses.

Looking at the surging tide of corpses behind him, he suddenly exerted force with his feet.

The clouds and mist suddenly rose from beneath his feet, and he transformed into a swift, flowing cloud, soaring into the distance.

"Liar! Liar!"

Little Ginseng cried out repeatedly, and some liquid began to flow from her two drawn eyes, the nature of which was unknown.
"If you're going to leave like this, then never come back!"

Seeing Lin Jiang rushing backward, Li Jinyue, who was not far away, raised an eyebrow slightly.

She glanced in the direction Lin Jiang had gone, her brows furrowing slightly for a moment.

His direction...

It only took Li Jinyue a moment to realize where he was going.

"Humph."

Li Jinyue slightly raised her hand, and a faint mist immediately appeared around Lin Jiang.

At the same time, all the avatars on the ground stretched their arms upwards.

Their arms suddenly split open, reaching straight upwards and transforming into swimming fish that approached Linjiang.

Lin Jiang wanted to speed things up, but the moment the thought crossed his mind, his body stiffened.

Everything around him was flowing backward at an incredible speed.

Lin Jiang had originally ascended into the air, but at this moment he could not help but retreat backward, almost instantly returning to his starting position.

What happened?

The thought flashed through Lin Jiang's mind, but he himself did not notice anything unusual at the moment.

However, when he turned his attention back to the inner palace, he discovered that the little golden man's movements had completely reversed.

Suddenly realizing the truth, Lin Jiang immediately entered the inner palace and discovered that his body had fallen into a state of obvious reverse flow.

Lin Jiang almost laughed out of anger.

Although there is no concept of time in the primordial fog, the way this method flows is truly difficult to describe.

But Lin Jiang was completely at a loss for what to do.

No one in the world can surpass Li Jinyue in the realm of the Primordial Fog.

After much deliberation, Lin Jiang decided to simply rely on his strength to withstand the attack.

He poured all his energy into the primordial fog.

A moment later, a ring of mist enveloped Lin Jiang's body, completely covering him. Once the mist had completely enveloped him, the reversed posture vanished without a trace.

Even so, Lin Jiang still did not return to his body.

Once Lin Jiang falls under Li Jinyue's spell, he is actually completely unaware of it.

If he hadn't been inside the inner palace, he probably wouldn't have known when he was attacked.

So Lin Jiang also used the method he had studied some time ago: the art of manipulating the body!
Lin Jiang, who was almost back in the group, suddenly leaped forward and charged ahead again.

This time, although his posture was stiff, his charging speed was even faster. Several avatars of Li Jinyue tried to block his way, but Lin Jiang rammed into them head-on, instantly smashing them to pieces, with fragments flying everywhere.

Lin Jiang, rushing forward, had no time to spare and dashed into the depths of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was speechless.

None of the people present were mediocre, so they could naturally see that Lin Jiangfei's posture was strange when he flew out, then flew back, and then rushed out again in an even stranger way.

At first, it was as ethereal as a fairy, in the middle it was like a rewinding lantern, and in the end it was like a puppet on strings, which is really hard to describe.

Li Fuqi frowned, about to ask where Lin Jiang had gone, when he suddenly saw the sea of ​​corpses surging behind him.

Like a tidal wave, they all turned around and followed closely behind, surging into the depths of the palace.

Li Fuqi stared intently at the spot where Lin Jiang disappeared: "What did he go to do?"

“I don’t know,” Yu Wenyun said sincerely, “but I know that the young master intends to rescue us from our predicament.”

“Alright. I’ll remember him.” Li Fuqi stared intently at the stone statue before him. “From now on, he will be a friend of the Dust Kingdom.”

……

Lin Jiang didn't need the title of "friend of the Dust Kingdom" at this moment.

He needs to move faster.

After mastering the art of stepping on clouds, his steps became much faster than before. However, this place was indeed complex and not an endless sky.

Lin Jiang will find it difficult to fully utilize the true advantages of Ta Yunxia.

While Li Jinyue was clearly slightly slower than him, she was extremely familiar with the terrain.

Lin Jiang often found himself suddenly surrounded by countless avatars at a corner while speeding along, forcing him to either turn abruptly or accelerate and rush out along the road in front of him.

However, Lin Jiang gradually realized that Li Jinyue was maintaining a precise distance from him.

It wasn't that the other party couldn't catch up; it felt more like Li Jinyue was confident that she could definitely catch Lin Jiang, and was therefore watching him closely like a cat playing with a mouse.

Sure enough, after chasing for a while, a whole bunch of avatars appeared in front of Lin Jiang again.

He was eager to turn around, but found that the other path ahead was also completely blocked.

At this moment, Lin Jiang had no choice but to stop abruptly.

Turning his head to look back, he saw Li Jinyue walking slowly and calmly behind him.

"Master, it was those celestial beings within you who told you this path, wasn't it?"

Li Jinyue seemed to have victory in her grasp, and the smile on her face returned to the way it had been in the past, shaped by the original fog.

She gazed at Lin Jiang gently, seemingly without the slightest hostility.

“Master, I understand your thoughts. You are a kind-hearted person, dedicated to saving people, saving countless people. But have you ever thought that in order to save so many people, you killed the original one? The soul from beyond the heavens only wanted to return to the body, and all the thoughts that arose from his body were accidental. Master, you are just one of them.”

Lin Jiang remained silent.

Li Jinyue gazed at Lin Jiang for a moment longer, then suddenly sighed softly:

“Master, do you understand that this is actually a form of hypocrisy? In the end, you chose to sacrifice your true master in order to save someone you know, which is morally untenable.”

Lin Jiang considered the positions he had just passed, pondered for a moment, and rehearsed them in his mind several times before finally a smile appeared on his face:
"The struggle for survival has nothing to do with right or wrong, and I'm too lazy to argue with you."

"Hmph," Li Jinyue sneered and shook her head, "I thought you were a kind-hearted person, but now it seems you're no different from those people outside, just the same kind of people."

"Thanks for the compliment."

As soon as Lin Jiang finished speaking, a large cloud of mist rose up around them.

His physical body suddenly underwent an extremely strange change, and everything around him also strangely regressed. The gathered avatars retreated back to the corner, making way for him.

Lin Jiang took the opportunity to pass through the flesh wall that he had transformed into.

"Hmm?" Li Jinyue frowned, her expression becoming increasingly tense.

Isn't this my Taoist sect?

He just used it like that?

Her method is considered a major secret technique. Manipulating the primordial fog to manipulate time sounds simple, but it requires extremely precise calculations. It's quite troublesome to learn.

But she only demonstrated it to Lin Jiang, and he actually learned it?
You think you've got it all figured out?! What about my reputation?!
Li Jinyue quickly suppressed her wild thoughts and reached out without hesitation, precisely catching the few wisps of mist in the air.

With a forceful pull backward, the avatar, which was originally moving backward, immediately resumed its forward momentum.

In that brief moment of delay, Lin Jiang had already arrived at the central control room mentioned by the little golden men.

The room was spacious and large, with a golden sphere suspended in the center. Due to years of disrepair, the sphere appeared slightly dim, but Lin Jiang could still clearly feel the heat emanating from it when he got close.

He reached out and pressed his hand on top of it.

The little golden figure inside him reached out and touched the light.
