Chapter 537: Ninghe City and Xiaozhi’s Abnormality

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. In the dark night, Zhao Pan was like a ghost as he silently floated into Gulan Island.
It was late at night, and Lin Yan could not see Zhao Pan’s figure clearly. However, his perception of the Maha Infinity Body could track Zhao Pan’s location at all times.
He probably couldn’t imagine that someone who had already produced spiritual power and could sense spiritual energy would be here, so he didn’t restrain himself. Instead, he wandered back and forth above Gulan City without restraint.
It was obvious that he was looking for Xiaozhi.
However, Xiaozhi was hiding in the Black Tortoise Divine Armor, so it was naturally impossible for him to discover her. After going back and forth several times, he gradually became impatient. It was as if he had gone to a place in Gulan City and stopped there.
Lin Yan only thought for a moment before realizing that Zhao Pan must have found the City Lord Manor of Gulan City or the authorities to force them to search for him.
If it were Lin Yan, he would have done the same even if he couldn’t find the target.
“I followed Ling Shuangxue into the city. In order to hide, 1 didn’t meet anyone.
“It’s just that 1 went to buy clothes and rice later. After passing a few shops, I even took Xiaozhi out for a walk. 1 couldn’t avoid meeting many people. If they really spread the news throughout the city, they would definitely know that two unfamiliar outsiders had come to Gulan City.
“Zhao Pan, Zhao Pan…”
His God Dwelling Insect’s corpse had already become a God Dwelling Insect baby. Even if he found Xiaozhi, his original method was completely useless.
However, it was obviously impossible for Zhao Pan to listen to all this.
“I can’t condense an artificial True Buddha body. I’m not Zhao Pan’s match. It’s better to avoid him for the time being and find another place.”
It was very likely that Xiaozhi’s body emitted some special spiritual energy, just like when he encountered the altar back then. This spiritual energy might not even be sensed by the Maha Infinity Body.
Therefore, next, he brought Xiaozhi along and temporarily activated the Black Tortoise Divine Armor to isolate Zhao Pan’s perception.
As for the ultimate method, he had to start with the other six cyborgs. He had to use a method to completely dispel Zhao Pan’s thoughts!
Lin Yan’s eyes turned cold. The Black Tortoise Divine Armor wrapped around Xiaozhi and the two altars and silently left Gulan Island, disappearing into the sea.
In the Demon Suppression Division, other than Gulan City, Liu Lanqing also provided a few other options.
Since he couldn’t stay in Gulan City anymore, Lin Yan had no choice but to return the way he came and find Liu Lanqing to provide the locations of the other cities.
It was extremely difficult for Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue to walk on the waterway. They had to be at the right time and place, but it was as easy as walking on flat ground for Lin Yan.
In Liu Lanqing’s residence, she had already changed into loose pajamas and fell asleep lazily. Her graceful figure made the pajamas bulge, and large patches of snow-white skin were revealed through the gaps.
“Issuer Liu.”
Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside the door. Liu Lanqing instantly woke up. “Who is it!”
Ever since she found out that there were a large number of Puppet People around, Liu Lanqing couldn’t sleep well. She would wake up at the slightest movement. At this moment, she finally fell asleep late at night and was even more unhappy to be woken up.
“Issuer Liu, it’s me.”
“Lin Yan?!”
Liu Lanqing took out a cloak and wrapped it around her graceful body. She opened the door. “Didn’t you go to Gulan City? Why are you back?!”
“It’s a long story…”
Lin Yan casually mentioned what had happened. “So, Issuer Liu, please help me again.”
Liu Lanqing looked slightly troubled. “Gulan City is one of the more convenient cities among all the lower cities. If it’s other lower cities, there’s no suitable route to reach them in a short period of time.”
“It’s fine. My ability to walk on water is not bad. 1 can go over myself.”
Liu Lanqing’s eyes narrowed slightly. She also remembered that there seemed to be a strange relationship between Lin Yan and the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. It was naturally simple to travel in the water.
“In that case, i’ll point out a few more cities for you. However, I’m afraid even the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother can’t take some of the routes…”
She mentioned five or six cities.
After saying that, Liu Lanqing glanced behind Lin Yan. It looked empty, but Lin Yan was standing in front of something. Coupled with the fact that Lin Yan had clearly entered the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s body and there was no trace of him, Liu Lanqing vaguely guessed, “You brought something else?”
Lin Yan nodded. “It’s my sister. However, the situation is rather complicated. The less Issuer Liu knows, the safer you will be.”
Liu Lanqing snorted. She often told others this when she was in the lower cities She didn’t expect someone to say this to her now.
She gave Lin Yan a map and immediately closed the door. “Go, go, go! Remember to use the main door next time! Jump over the wall and come in. You’re a thief!”
Lin Yan didn’t care. “Thank you for your guidance, Issuer Liu.”
After saying that, he brought Xiaozhi and the altar back.
When he went down to the water, he chose to go to Ninghe City. There was a huge river that crossed this city. Below the river was an underground river. He could enter the water from the entrance of an underground river in the prefecture capital and go all the way up.
However, the underground river was narrow and complicated, and the water pressure was extremely high. Ordinary people could not pass through it at all. They had to rely on a special fish to move up and down.
This was a special fish produced by special bait. It only survived in the waterways between the prefecture capital and the lower city.
However, this kind of fish had a maturity period. It was not easy to find a huge fish that could carry people. It depended on luck.
However, Lin Yan didn’t have to go through so much trouble. He just had to recognize the species of this fish and follow the direction of such fish.
Halfway through, Lin Yan stopped. “Xiaozhi, you’re awake?”
“Where is this place? Why is it so dark!”
Xiaozhi seemed to be a little afraid. Even her voice was sharp and anxious.
After all, they were sealed in an underground sewer, narrow and dark.
Lin Yan raised his hand and ignited a ball of cold fire. “Don’t be afraid. We’re swimming in the water. With Brother around, we’ll be fine.”
“Are we no longer in Gulan City?”
“That’s right. Bad people came looking for trouble. We have to move.”
“Is that so…” Xiaozhi’s face was hidden in the half-light, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
Lin Yan was walking forward and did not look back.
“Xiaozhi, why were you unconscious again?”
“Well… I don’t know either. It seems that once 1 fall asleep, I have to sleep for enough hours and I can’t be woken up.”
“It seems that there are still many problems in your body…”
“Brother, Brother? Where are we going now?”
“Let’s change cities and go to Ninghe City.”
“Ninghe City, Ninghe City… Brother, for some reason, I suddenly feel sleepy again.”
A complicated expression suddenly flashed across Lin Yan’s face, and his wrist trembled slightly.
He did not turn around. “1 see. Xiaozhi, you can sleep again.”
“Alright…”
Looking back, Xiaozhi closed her eyes again. Her eyelids fluttered, as if she had immediately fallen into a deep sleep again.
In the darkness, Lin Yan stared blankly at Xiaozhi’s face.
After a while, he slowly turned around and floated towards Ninghe City again..
