“Soul-falling sand?”

Wang Lin raised his eyebrows and said calmly: “This sand is extremely yin, and it is obviously a magic weapon refined with spirit.”

The sky was shrouded in ink, and billions of soul-falling sands rubbed against each other, making sharp sounds like ghosts crying.

Wang Lin was wearing a black robe that rustled in the wind. The moment his fingertips touched the spirit beast bag on his waist, the unique cold aura of the Weeping Soul Beast penetrated the cloth.

When the little monkey jumped out, the yin energy within a ten-mile radius suddenly stagnated.

“Roar–“

The muffled sound of the giant ape beating his chest shook the clouds apart. As the black light surged, the ghost face patterns on his back glowed with blood, which actually resonated with the humming of the Xu Tian Ding in Wang Lin’s sleeve.

The yellow glow gushed out like a waterfall, and black sand appeared wherever it passed.

A distorted human face is embedded on the surface of each grain of sand, which is the residual soul of the monk slaughtered by the Crazy Sand Master.

“Crack!”

The giant ape’s fangs opened and closed, and a golden beam of light sucked in water like a whale, sucking the soul-falling sand into the beast’s belly, causing it to let out a shrill wail.

The resentment between the grains of sand was forcibly stripped away and turned into black smoke that spewed out of the monkey’s nose.

Wang Lin stood on the beast head with his hands behind his back. His spiritual sense swept through the depths of the sand fog and he realized that the three main soul sand puppets were the key to the Soul-Falling Sand Formation.

Master Kuangsha’s knuckles turned white from pinching, and the jade gourd containing the blue crystal magic sand on his waist was so hot that it burned his hands.

He knew very well that if he didn’t make a decision, they would all become food for the zombies.

True Lord Tianfeng quickly practiced the sound transmission technique, and veins on his forehead bulged.

In the dust rising from the distant horizon, one can vaguely see a skeleton carriage carried by seven golden-armored corpse kings slowly approaching.

The giant ape pounded the ground fiercely and roared. The yellow clouds condensed into a huge palm and slapped it towards the northwest of the sand formation.

The three sand puppets shattered at the sound, and Master Kuangsha felt a fishy taste in his throat. The pain of the backlash from his life-saving magic weapon came like a thousand ants biting his heart.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and those Taoist magic sands that were said to be “immune to all evil” were actually stained with gray spots by the corpse miasma.

“Daoyou has extraordinary magical powers. He can even break the Soul-Falling Sand. This is truly extraordinary!”

King Xuanye watched the yellow-robed man and others leave, and he couldn’t help but feel relieved, and bowed to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin glanced at the Corpse King and found that although the sand fog dissipated quickly, his condition was not optimistic.

Compared to before he transformed, his spiritual energy has been greatly consumed.

In addition, when he was seriously injured, he had to spit out his own corpse flame to resist the Soul-Falling Sand, which was extremely exhausting for him.

The two of them felt like retreating, and immediately looked at each other, then turned into two streams of light and fled into the distance.

“Is it too late to run now?”

Wang Lin sneered and opened his mouth slightly, then he saw the Qiankun Bow’s Heaven-shaking Arrow fly out of his mouth.

Wang Lin drew his bow and shot arrows. He held two Sky-shaking Arrows in his right hand and spat a breath of golden Phoenix fire onto the Sky-shaking Arrows.

“Crack!”

The golden flame burned on the arrow, as if burning all the evil spirits.

“go with!”

As Wang Lin let out a light cry, the Sky-shaking Arrow in his hand instantly turned into two golden streams of light and disappeared on the spot.

But when the Sky-shaking Arrow appeared again, it had already appeared behind the two of them.

Hearing the sharp sound of breaking air coming from behind them, the two men’s faces changed drastically and they hurriedly tried to dodge.

But they were horrified to find that the two of them seemed to be fixed in mid-air, unable to move at all.

“Huh! Huh!”

At this moment, two sharp sounds of breaking through the air were heard in succession, and the Sky-shaking Arrows instantly pierced through the chests of the two men.

The golden fire of the Heavenly Phoenix, as if it had life, swept over and completely enveloped the two of them in an instant.

“Crack!”

The flames burned, making sharp burning sounds.

The two of them only had time to let out a sharp scream before their bodies and Nascent Souls were completely burned to ashes.

“Gulu!”

Looking at the scene in front of him, King Xuanye couldn’t help swallowing, his eyes full of surprise.

The cultivation base of these monks is the same as his, but they can hardly withstand a single move from this person.

If Wang Lin had attacked me just now, would I still be alive?
Wang Lin looked at the old demon calmly, with no emotion in his eyes.

“I wonder if Kiyaksha can advance if he can devour this corpse king!”

Kiyaksha is at the early stage of Nascent Soul, while King Xuanye has reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

If he could devour King Xuan Ye, there would be a high probability that he would have the opportunity to successfully enter the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Looking at Wang Lin’s eyes, King Xuanye couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

Especially the giant ape under Wang Lin’s feet. Since the evil fog dissipated, it has squinted its eyes and kept chewing its mouth, as if it was tasting the black sand in its mouth.

The slightest movement in King Xuanye’s heart immediately attracted the attention of the Soul-Crying Beast.

The Soul-Crying Beast’s eyes moved slightly, and it immediately locked onto the ten-thousand-year-old corpse king.

King Xuan Ye could clearly feel that the eyes of the giant ape in front of him were full of desire for him.

This kind of gaze made King Xuan Ye, who was an ancient emperor during his lifetime, feel horrified.

King Xuanye secretly groaned, and fell into extreme anxiety.

“Even though they caused the trouble themselves this time, you still owe them a life-saving favor.” Wang Lin said calmly, with his hands behind his back.

“What exactly is the reward you’re talking about? Tell me.”

King Xuan Ye was slightly startled, and said quickly:

“Although I don’t have many rare treasures, I still have some reserves of spirit stones and various materials. If you don’t mind, you may as well come with me. I will definitely make your wish come true.”

Wang Lin’s gaze did not linger for too long. He just glanced at the other person briefly with a calm expression, and then spoke calmly:
“No need to go to all this trouble. I’ve taken a fancy to your gold pearl. Would you mind giving it to me?”

“Is this what you are talking about?” Upon hearing this, King Xuanye’s face instantly turned gloomy, and then he spit out a golden bead.

Wang Lin nodded slightly, confirming that this was exactly what he was interested in.

“The Heavenly Corpse Pearl is the Corpse King’s life treasure condensed after practicing the Heavenly Corpse Art. It is extremely precious and will never be shown to others easily.”

“I guess the two monsters from the Obelisk Mountain are probably here for this item. However, this golden bead is of no use to me, so you may take it.”

King Xuanye’s eyes flickered, and after a moment he smiled.

He lightly tapped the golden bead in front of him, and in an instant, the bead shot towards Wang Lin like an arrow.

Wang Lin was slightly surprised, but he did not stop moving. He grabbed at the air, and a large red hand appeared out of thin air, steadily grabbing the golden bead in his hand.

The old demon did not use any tricks on this bead.

Wang Lin gently wrapped the bead with green light, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at it carefully before confirming that it was correct.

This bead is exactly the golden bead that the old demon had sacrificed before, not a replacement.

Wang Lin originally planned to take this opportunity to launch an attack. If King Xuan Ye showed an unwillingness to hand it over, he would plan to get rid of him.

However, now it seems that King Xuanye is quite “well-behaved and sensible”.

Wang Lin felt a little disappointed when he saw the Heavenly Corpse Pearl being handed over voluntarily. After a moment of hesitation, King Xuan Ye explained:

“The Heavenly Corpse Pearl is a must for extraordinary practitioners, but it was obtained by chance when I obtained the Heavenly Corpse Method.”

King Xuan Ye smiled slightly and continued to explain: “My Heavenly Corpse Pearl is of great importance and will not be carried around casually. It is currently placed in my tomb for safekeeping.”

After hearing this, Wang Lin nodded, looked at King Xuan Ye with deep eyes, and said calmly:
“In that case, I will accept this Heavenly Corpse Pearl.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Lin’s body flashed with red light, and instantly turned into a red rainbow, breaking through the air.

Among the thirty-six counties of the Great Jin Dynasty, Nan County is located at the junction of the north and the central regions.

Although it ranks last in terms of area, it ranks among the top five in terms of affluence.

The area under the jurisdiction of the county is mainly plains and water towns, rich in resources, and has many sacred mountains and rivers.

Mortals often see people dressed in monk’s or Taoist clothes flying in the sky of Lingshan.

Therefore, the culture of believing in Buddhism and Taoism is prevalent here, and Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are spread all over the county.

No matter whether they are powerful or wealthy or farmers and common people, they all treat the two with respect.

There are many academies in this county, distributed in capital cities, small towns and villages.

There was a clear differentiation in the levels of academies. In the top academies, the Four Books and Five Classics were taught by great scholars, and most of the students were children of officials.

Small private schools were taught by ordinary Confucian scholars, who taught basic Confucian ideas and basic classics.

Outstanding talents will be recommended to enter higher-level academies, which is an important way for poor children to change their destiny.

Confucian scholars trained in high-level academies are highly respected in the upper class of Dajin.

Graduates from top academies are especially favored by provincial governors and nobles.

Taichang City, as the core capital of Taichang Prefecture, is dotted with academies.

Although it is not as well-known as Wuguan City, it is a prosperous place in Nan County where dignitaries and wealthy businessmen gather.

There are many noble families in the city, and there are countless ordinary people from all walks of life.

To the west of Taichang City, the Gan family is one of the wealthy families in the city. Their wealth is so great that they own more than 20 restaurants in various cities in Taichang Prefecture.

Although he is the richest man in the small town, he is only ranked in the upper middle class among the rich in this city.

The Gan family mansion was spacious, with many servants and maids, at least thirty or forty in number.

One day at noon, the sun was scorching.

A young man in Confucian robes walked slowly into the street. He was carrying a long and thick object wrapped in gray cloth on his back. His face was dusty and he looked tired but determined.

The young man looked around, as if looking for something.

Soon, he saw the huge, shiny black gate of the Gan Mansion and the huge plaque with the words “Gan Mansion” hanging high above it, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Then he walked quickly forward, looked at the Gan family’s door again, and knocked on the iron door knocker twice without hesitation.

After two “bangs”, the sound of hurried jogging was heard from inside the door.

The young man was startled when he heard the voice and felt a little surprised.

In a moment, the door quickly opened a crack, and a middle-aged man poked his head out. His face was full of respect and he was dressed as a servant.

After seeing the visitor, the man’s originally frozen expression of respectfulness on his face instantly disappeared and he returned to normal.

“What are you doing here, sir?”

The man straightened his back and looked up and down at the young man in front of him, with some doubt in his eyes.

“Is this Uncle Gan Chi’s residence?” The young man bowed and asked with a smile.

“Uncle Gan Chi? My master is Gan Chi. I wonder if you are…”

The man inside the door first looked at the young man’s clothes with a look of contempt, but after hearing these words, he was suddenly shocked and his tone immediately became much more polite.

“I am Wang Lin, a distant relative of Uncle Gan Chi. I have come here specially to pay my respects to you.”

The young man said with a slight smile.

This person is Wang Lin.

“It turns out to be Prince Wang.”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said:
“The master left early in the morning. The mansion is now in the hands of the eldest son. Would you like me to go and inform him?”

“Then thank you for your help.” Wang Lin responded calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

“Please wait for a moment, sir. I will go and report right away.”

The middle-aged man responded respectfully and quickly reported the news to the backyard.

Wang Lin stood in front of the door, leisurely observing his surroundings, looking at the nearby mansions and the passing carriages and pedestrians.

Although he did not use his spiritual sense to explore, he clearly felt that there were many cultivators in this city, and they were distributed in an orderly manner, and there was obviously no shortage of high-level cultivators.

This made him very interested in how these monks entered the world.

After a moment, the door opened again and a young man walked out slowly.

She had an elegant appearance and was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, followed by the servant who had left in a hurry before.

“Are you Prince Wang? I am Gan Yu. I heard that Prince Wang is a distant relative of ours. Although I have never heard of this before, I still believe that etiquette cannot be abandoned.”

“If you don’t mind, please follow me to the living room to discuss in detail.”

Gan Yu said gently and politely.

“So you are the eldest son of the Gan family. Since Brother Gan has invited me so warmly, I will certainly not refuse your kindness.”

After a little thought, Wang Lin readily agreed.

Gan Yu smiled slightly, turned sideways, and led Wang Lin into the Gan residence. The heavy black lacquered door closed quietly.

About an hour later, an old man in his fifties arrived at the front door of the mansion in a carriage.

He was a little overweight and wore a green official’s robe.

“Did something happen at home?” After getting off the car, the old man noticed that the gatekeeper’s expression flickered, as if he wanted to say something.

Just as he was about to enter the mansion, the gatekeeper came forward and reported:
“A young man named Wang came here, claiming to be a distant relative of the master. He was invited to the living room by the eldest master and they had a very pleasant conversation.”

Upon hearing this, the old man paused, his face slightly changed, and he murmured:

“Relative, surname Wang?”

There was a hint of surprise in his tone.

The middle-aged servant asked in panic:
“This person is not a real relative of the master, but a liar? Should I call the police to arrest him immediately?”

The old man frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
“Whether this is true or not is still hard to say. I do remember a distant relative named Wang, but it has been so long that my memory has become a little fuzzy.”

“Just guard the door and don’t cause any trouble.”

After saying this, the old man’s face darkened and he lightly reprimanded the servant. Then he hurried into the mansion without changing his clothes and went straight to the hall.

Before he even approached the hall door, the old man had already heard familiar laughter and the sound of people discussing scriptures and doctrines coming from inside.

The laughter was clearly coming from the eldest son, who seemed to be discussing the words of a wise man with his brother, and was in high spirits.

When the old man heard this, his face darkened slightly, and his eyes flickered with a hint of uneasiness.

After a little thought, he gritted his teeth and stepped into the hall decisively.

When Gan Yu saw that the person coming was actually his father, he immediately stood up, bowed respectfully, and asked:
“Father, this prince is…” (End of this chapter)
