C358 Entering the State Realm
In the wilderness.
Lin Cheng staggered forward in a daze. He didn't even know how long he had been walking in the wilderness.
Ever since Zhu Ziqiao was taken away by Ming Danjing, Lin Cheng felt as if his heart was also taken away.
After leaving the foot of the mountain of Heavenly Star Sect, Lin Cheng kept walking, unwilling to stop.
His heart was filled with anger, and he wished he could fight with Ming Danjing right now. However, Ming Danjing had already returned to Southern Domain, and he couldn't find her even if he wanted to.
That kind of resentment made him not dare to stop.
The scenes of how he interacted with Zhu Ziqiao kept replaying in Lin Cheng's mind. From the first time he met Zhu Ziqiao by the river near Cicheng, Zhu Ziqiao was still the eldest daughter of Wen Family. However, she had helped him get out of the encirclement of Chu Family.
After that, he caught Zhu Ziqiao's pursuit. From that moment on, their fates were intertwined. They had experienced many dangers and fought side by side time and time again. Zhu Ziqiao smiled. Pouting and teasing...
These scenes kept flashing in Lin Cheng's mind. They were like sharp blades that kept stabbing Lin Cheng's heart.
"Ming Danjing!"
Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and called out this name again.
He had never hated someone so much. His hatred for Ming Danjing had even exceeded his hatred for Zuo Mu and Ann Ya!
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted Lin Cheng's thoughts. He suddenly looked up and saw a few people standing not far away. They were holding weapons and looking at him with great vigilance.
There were men and women among them. The clothes they were wearing were tattered. Two women were wearing leather armor, and the leather armor was also tattered.
There were two horses next to them. A few steps away, there was an unextinguished fire. There was some unknown beast meat on top of it.
Most importantly, these people were emitting quite a strong Yuan energy fluctuation, and they were all powerful Cultivating Warriors.
It was very clear that these few people were all Adventurers and seemed to be resting here. But because he was immersed in his memories of Zhu Ziqiao, he unknowingly walked near these Adventurers and aroused their vigilance.
Lin Cheng only gave them a glance before turning around slightly. He left in another direction. He did not plan to talk to these people. He had already encountered several batches of Adventurers like this, even if they wanted to talk to him. He had no interest in them.
"What a strange person. He's so down and out, without even a weapon. He actually dares to walk in the wilderness." The few Adventurers looked at Lin Cheng suspiciously, "He can't be a fool, right?"
"Look, not only does he not have a weapon on him, he doesn't even have any Yuan energy fluctuations. Just now, he walked straight towards us, as if he didn't see us at all. Maybe he really is a fool."
As they discussed in low voices, their originally nervous mood relaxed quite a bit.
"Look, he's heading towards Prefecture Boundary." One of the women in grey leather armor suddenly said, "Hurry up and stop him, or else he'll die."
"That's right, hurry up and stop him!"
These few Adventurers did not know that their discussions had already reached Lin Cheng's ears very clearly. He could not help but stop. He slowly turned around and looked at the few Adventurers. He asked, "Is the Prefecture Boundary in front of us?"
The few Adventurers were shocked when they heard this. They did not expect Lin Cheng to be able to hear their discussion even though he had already walked very far away.
Perhaps he didn't hear their discussion, but he already knew that this was the Prefecture Boundary. It was just that he wasn't sure.
An awkward expression flashed across the faces of the few Adventurers as they thought to themselves.
"Is the Prefecture Boundary in front of us?"
Seeing that the few Adventurers did not return, Lin Cheng frowned slightly and could not help but ask again.
"That's right. The forest in front of us is the outer forest of the Prefecture Boundary. This is the southernmost tip of the Dongzhou. If we go there, we will reach the Southern Domain."
The one who spoke was a female Adventurer wearing a rusty leather armor. Her appearance was very outstanding. The tight leather armor on her body outlined her beautiful figure, making her look very hot.
Lin Cheng looked at this female Adventurer and could not help but be lost in thought.
The first time he saw Zhu Ziqiao, she also wore leather armor, but it was not rust colored, but a fiery-red one.
Later in Boundless Forbidden Land, Zhu Ziqiao's leather armor was destroyed, so she did not wear leather armor anymore.
Seeing this female Adventurer, Lin Cheng immediately recalled the past, and it was especially clear.
"Hmph!"
When the female Adventurer saw Lin Cheng staring straight at her, her pretty face couldn't help but sink, and she coldly snorted.
Only now did Lin Cheng regain his senses, and he discovered that the female Adventurer was frowning in disgust. The other few Adventurers were also looking at him with unfriendly expressions, and he immediately realized something. However, he did not explain. He only nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me."
Then, he turned around and left.
"Hmph!"
That female Adventurer couldn't help but snort coldly. "Seeking death, wasting our good intentions!"
Lin Cheng was heading in the direction of the Prefecture Boundary.
She saw that even though Lin Cheng knew that the Prefecture Boundary was right in front of him, he still continued to walk forward. This was undoubtedly seeking death.
The others couldn't help but nod their heads. The Prefecture Boundary was a very dangerous place. All of them were considered peak grade Cultivating Warrior. They only dared to search for some herbs and hunt some wild beasts at the very edge of the Prefecture Boundary. They didn't dare to have any thoughts of venturing into the depths of the Prefecture Boundary.
However, that seemingly impoverished fool was heading straight for the Prefecture Boundary. If he wasn't going to die, what else could he be?
Lin Cheng didn't care about the idea of those Adventurers at all. It was only at this moment that he realized. He had unknowingly come to Prefecture Boundary. He immediately understood. When he recalled the beautiful memories of his past with Zhu Ziqiao, he subconsciously wanted to cross the Prefecture Boundary. He wanted to go to Southern Domain to find Zhu Ziqiao.
Thinking of this, Lin Cheng's spirit was immediately lifted. He immediately made a decision. No matter how dangerous it was, he wanted to go to the Prefecture Boundary and try his best to get there.
He took a deep breath and entered the forest without any hesitation.
"Roar ~ ~"
In the silent night, a beast roar filled with majesty and majestic pressure instantly shook the entire area, as well as a large part of the forest.
Countless birds and beasts fled in all directions in terror, screaming and screaming. It was as if a great terror had appeared within the forest, making these birds and beasts flee in panic.
Peng!
A figure heavily crashed into a big tree, making a muffled sound. Immediately after, that figure did not stop at all, and used his fastest speed to flee in one direction.
After an hour, the forest finally became quiet again.
"Hu!"
Lin Cheng's body was limp as he sat on the thick soft leaves, leaning against a big tree. He couldn't help but shake his head. The Demonic Beast in Prefecture Boundary was really too powerful. It was too scary. He had just entered the depths of the jungle. It made his heart palpitate.
He immediately realized that this should be a powerful Demonic Beast. According to the realm classification of the cultivator, it should be at least a Peak of Incarnation Stage warrior, or even a Divine Ability Stage warrior.
He knew that he, who was injured, was no match for this Demonic Beast, so Lin Cheng immediately retracted the spiritual sense. He waited until the pressure of the Demonic Beast disappeared, then carefully moved forward. However, before he could walk far, he alarmed the other wild beasts. After that, he felt that the pressure had once again enveloped him. It was even filled with hostility.
Lin Cheng made a prompt decision. He used his fastest speed to retreat, but he was still swept away by a gust of strong wind that contained a majestic Spirit Power. He crashed into a big tree. If he hadn't used the Soft Water Movement in time, he might not have been able to escape unscathed.
Even now, his injuries were aggravated by the gale, and he was very weak.1
Fortunately, when he arrived at the outer perimeter of the forest, the pressure didn't envelop him anymore. He vaguely realized that he had accidentally barged into the territory of some powerful Demonic Beast. This had aroused the vigilance of the Demonic Beast. Now that he had arrived at the outer perimeter... After leaving the territory of the Demonic Beast, it no longer continued to target him.
This Demonic Beast was obviously hostile to humans, at least to him. Lin Cheng knew that this route wouldn't work anymore. He had to enter the Prefecture Boundary from another place.
He sat on a thick pile of fallen leaves and slightly eased his breathing. Lin Cheng took out a jade bottle from the Storage Bag and planned to consume the pill to heal his injuries. However, before he could take out the jade bottle containing the pill, he suddenly stopped.
He saw that within his interspatial Storage Bag, a crystal clear object had appeared beside a pile of jade bottles.
Monarch of Homo Clan's Treasure Seal!
Lin Cheng was stunned. This was Zhu Ziqiao's Treasure Seal. Zhu Ziqiao had always carried it with her, but now it had appeared in his interspatial Storage Bag.
"Little girl..."
Lin Cheng immediately understood. It was Zhu Ziqiao who placed this Treasure Seal in his Storage Bag. Because she had already decided in her heart to leave with Ming Danjing, she left the Treasure Seal behind.
Lin Cheng closed his eyes tightly. After a long time, he closed the Storage Bag, consumed the pill, and began to cultivate and recover from his injuries.
An hour later, Lin Cheng stood up and quickly disappeared into the dense forest, heading in another direction.
"Puff!"
Lin Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood, but he did not dare to stop at all. He ran as fast as he could. He only stopped when he reached the outer edge of the forest.
At this time, his face was already pale, and his expression was withered. Even his footsteps were staggering. The footwork under his feet had also begun to move. He could only rely on the last Spirit Power to run with all his might.
Behind him, the forest rose and fell like a wave, as if there was a huge ocean under this forest.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an ear-splitting explosion came from within the violently moving forest. Dozens of towering trees suddenly rushed into the sky, and the leaves fell like a rainstorm. Each leaf was like an arrow, carrying with it the sound of breaking through the air. It was extremely terrifying.
Lin Cheng increased his speed once again, using all of his strength to barely dodge the terrifying force. He rushed out of the depths of the forest and arrived at the edge of the forest.
"Roar!"
What followed him was a beast's roar that was filled with unwillingness.
When Lin Cheng heard this roar, he did not stop. He rushed to the wilderness outside the forest before stopping. After that, he did not have any strength left and collapsed onto the ground.
Just a moment ago, he was about to become food in the stomach of a Demonic Beast!
