He sped all the way.
Lin Yan could have used the Mud Fruit clones to locate Liu Lanqing and the others.
However, he didn’t realize that Liu Lanqing and the others would bring the Mud Fruits. Later on, when he saw the Mud Fruits left on the stone wall, those Mud Fruit clones had already starved to death because he didn’t control them to eat, so Lin Yan couldn’t directly locate them.
Soon, Lin Yan arrived outside Dragon Gate Pavilion. Just as he approached, he heard someone’s voice inside.
Jumping over the wall, Lin Yan saw at a glance that more than ten people had gathered on the brick floor of the Dragon Gate Pavilion’s courtyard. Not only was Liu Lanqing’s group there, but Xie Lingyan, Eldest Senior Brother, and even Senior Sister Chen Yuan were there!
Although their expressions were a little dim, they were safe and sound. Lin Yan couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
They gathered in the courtyard and stood under the sun. All of them were tense and vigilant.
Liu Lanqing stood in the middle with scarlet flames burning on her body.
Fan Xiaopeng and Ning Xiaohui were in the inner circle. They were rather haggard and were carrying sacks. There should be Unusual Items, the White Jade Fire Lotuses, inside. They had been carrying them previously.
Beside her feet were four shrunk and dried Mud Fruit clones, like four dry branches.
The Mud Fruit clones were different from the other clones. The reason why they could grow so big was because they had devoured and absorbed many Corpse Buddha Cockroaches.
Therefore, after death, they did not explode like the other clones. Instead, they left behind the remains.
However, Lin Yan looked around and realized that everyone was around except Ling Shuangxue. Logically speaking, with her strength, even if the Dark Shadow Skin was strange, she should have a way to deal with it.
In the surroundings of the crowd, there were more than 20 charred blood marks. In the middle was a charred and curled skin. It was obvious that this was Liu Lanqing’s doing.
Lin Yan wanted to reveal himself, but on second thought, he stopped.
The situation in the underground plain was urgent. He displayed many special effects like the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Y’/junder without any worries and was even nailed by the Heaven Chains. If Liu Lanqing asked these questions, he really didn’t know how to answer.
Moreover, the most troublesome thing was that if Liu Lanqing and the others returned to the prefecture capital, even if Liu Lanqing kept it a secret for him, the others would definitely leak his matter.
He knew nothing about the prefecture capital. If anyone in the prefecture capital had ill intentions towards him, although he was not afraid, it would definitely bring a lot of trouble.
After some thought, he decided to hide first. With the Black Tortoise Swimming the Mountains and Seas, he could completely sneak into Liu Lanqing’s team and enter the prefecture capital. He would change his identity and lie low for the time being!
Lin Yan jumped up onto the wall of Dragon Gate Pavilion, looking at everyone quietly.
He could tell that Liu Lanqing’s eyes darted to the door from time to time. Occasionally, her expression revealed a hint of anxiety. It was obvious that she was waiting for something.
Suddenly, Old Qin’s head trembled in Lin Yan’s hand. “Brother! Shadow! Dark Shadow Skin is here! There are so many of them around!”
Lin Yan immediately looked back.
Near the wall of Dragon Gate Pavilion, the shadows of the walls, pavilions, stone lions, and steps were like boiling water, constantly rippling. Then, twenty to thirty pitch-black human figures floated out of the shadows and staggered towards Dragon Gate Pavilion.
At the same time, more than ten thin black shadows separated from the shadows and swam into the Dragon Gate Pavilion through the shadows at the base of the wall.
Not long after, two fastest black shadows climbed up the courtyard wall like flowing water. They followed the wall into the courtyard and moved towards Liu Lanqing and the others!
“Here they come!”
In the courtyard, the crowd exclaimed and tensed up.
Lin Yan’s mind raced. The Dark Shadow Skin’s movements were silent. It seemed that Liu Lanqing and the others had formed a circle and were standing under the sun. Their goal was to capture the Dark Shadow Skin’s whereabouts with the naked eye.
Two scarlet flames shot out from Liu Lanqing’s hand, projecting a curved arc that enveloped the two rapidly swimming black shadows.
The Dark Shadow Skin was clearly in pain, but it was not killed immediately. Instead, it became even crazier and charged towards the crowd!
Liu Lanqing frowned and clenched her fist. The color of the scarlet flames became thicker and thicker. Only then did the two black shadows turn into charcoal before they approached her.
This scene made Lin Yan’s eyes sink slightly.
Liu Lanqing’s Force Feature was called Invasive Fire. Its penetrative lethality could be said to be terrifying, but it didn’t seem to be very effective against these Dark Shadow Skins!
More Dark Shadow Skins climbed up the courtyard wall.
“We can’t let them in…”
Lin Yan silently jumped down the courtyard wall. In his palm, the Southern Primordial Fire ignited, but it was also wrapped in the Black Tortoise Divine Armor and completely invisible.
First, the Sun Burning True Flame ignited. He pressed his hand on a Dark Shadow Skin that was climbing up the wall.
At the same time, the Black Tortoise Divine Armor also expanded flexibly and enveloped the Dark Shadow Skin.
If there was anyone nearby, they would see the Dark Shadow Skin climb halfway up the wall and suddenly disappear.
There was almost no sensation in his hand. The Dark Shadow’s skin was unbelievably thin, as if it did not have a body. However, it subconsciously extended towards his body. Still, it was blocked by the Black Tortoise Divine Armor and could not touch his body at all.
The Sun Burning True Flame was blazing hot, but although it could injure the Dark Shadow Skin, the effect was not very strong, just like the Invasive Fire.
It could be seen that although this Dark Shadow Skin was called skin, it actually had little to do with real skin. Instead, it was more like a strange existence that leaned towards energy and did not have a physical body..
