Chapter 1394 - Chapter 1394 Chapter 1492 Old Dried Corpse Departs

Chapter 1394: Chapter 1492: Old Dried Corpse Departs Chapter 1394: Chapter 1492: Old Dried Corpse Departs That day, Fang Lin severed his ties with the Pill Alliance and crushed the badge that symbolized his identity as a Pill Refiner.

He left the Ancient Pill Court, not heading anywhere else, but directly towards the Tiankui Pavilion.

If anyone within the Pill Alliance still considered Fang Lin favorably, it was only Elder Tiankui. Since he had now parted ways with the Pill Alliance, Fang Lin planned to meet with Elder Tiankui.

Inside the Ancient Pill Court, the Western Moon King’s face darkened as he looked at the other two kings.

“Are we just letting him go?” said the Western Moon King, his voice tinged with subdued anger.

The North Spirit King glanced at the Western Moon King: “Or perhaps you wanted to keep him?”

“Now that he knows about those things, we can’t keep him; otherwise, he would be a disaster!” gritted the Western Moon King.

“Just like how we dealt with Zhong Wuwei back then? To drive Fang Lin to extermination too? Save some energy. Back then, we couldn’t even handle one Zhong Wuwei, and Fang Lin now is even trickier than Zhong Wuwei was,” stated the North Spirit King coldly.

“If the two of you are willing to make a move, with the combined strength of us three, even if Fang Lin possesses the Dragon Family Demon, what could he possibly do?” the Western Moon King expressed his dissatisfaction.

The North Spirit King scoffed twice and remained silent, disdaining further conversation with the Western Moon King.

The South Zodiac King, however, shook his head and said, “Ultimately, our Pill Alliance is still indebted to Fang Lin. Before the great battle, he even preserved our Pill Alliance’s dignity, yet we couldn’t even protect Dugu Nian. Let him go.”

Hearing this, the Western Moon King knew these two wouldn’t heed him. His frustration deepened, and with a heavy huff, he left.

At Tiankui Pavilion, where Elder Tiankui resided,

Fang Lin arrived and met Elder Tiankui, whom he had not seen for a long time, as well as Elder Tiankui’s granddaughter, Ye Mengxian.

Fang Lin shared the news of his departure from the Pill Alliance with Elder Tiankui and Ye Mengxian. Both were quite shocked, and while they initially wanted to persuade him, seeing Fang Lin’s firm stance left them with little more to say.

“What do you plan to do about Dugu Nian?” asked Ye Mengxian, looking at Fang Lin.

Officially, Dugu Nian was still Ye Mengxian’s disciple, and it was Ye Mengxian who had sent Dugu Nian into the Pill Pole Tower, so she was quite concerned about Dugu Nian.

“Fang Lin, do not act rashly,” Elder Tiankui advised, noting a trace of madness in Fang Lin’s expression.

Fang Lin nodded, but what he was truly thinking, only he knew.

After leaving Tiankui Pavilion, Fang Lin didn’t go elsewhere but directly entered into the Supreme Saint Hall.

“Kid, it’s also time for me to leave,” said Jin Zhulong, the Old Dried Corpse appearing behind Fang Lin as he looked at the Dragon Bone in the Supreme Saint Hall.

Fang Lin turned around, facing the Old Dried Corpse, his feelings indescribably complex.

The Old Dried Corpse wore a similarly difficult expression, his aged face tinged with emotions hard to articulate.

“I’m going to the Seven Seas,” said Fang Lin seriously.

The Old Dried Corpse understood his intention and sighed, “If possible, wait until I return.”

“How long will you be gone?” Fang Lin asked.

The Old Dried Corpse shook his head. “Hard to say.”

Fang Lin looked at the Old Dried Corpse for a long time without speaking.

“Regardless, I must go to the Seven Seas,” Fang Lin said with a very determined tone, showing no hesitation or wavering.

“If you must go, make thorough preparations. After I leave, you can go find that monkey, perhaps he could assist you,” the Old Dried Corpse said.

Fang Lin hummed in acknowledgment and smiled, “You have things you must do, and I have people I must save. Let’s hope we both succeed.”

“You better not die in the Seven Seas,” the Old Dried Corpse said, frowning.

Fang Lin grinned, “I’m not that easy to kill. As for you, make sure you come back.”

The Old Dried Corpse laughed heartily and then disappeared into the Supreme Saint Hall.

Fang Lin’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with an indescribable sentiment, perhaps a mix of reluctance and reflection.

The Old Dried Corpse had eventually left. Although Fang Lin had hoped he would stay and venture into the Seven Seas together,

it was ultimately a selfish thought of Fang Lin. The Old Dried Corpse had his own urgent matters to attend to. When he consumed the Nirvana Pill to restore his body, he had already expressed his intention to leave. It was only because Fang Lin was facing many difficulties at the time that the Old Dried Corpse didn’t leave immediately.

But now, the Old Dried Corpse had to go.

Fang Lin knew that this departure might mean they would never meet again. He had previously mentioned that he was going to face a terrifying opponent and didn’t know if he could return.

The Old Dried Corpse took the blood-stained longsword and the soul within the Dragon Bone. Fang Lin originally wanted him to take the ancient spear as well, but the Old Dried Corpse refused, saying that the Clear Rainbow Sword was enough.

“Hopefully, we can meet again someday,” Fang Lin sighed, suppressing the complex emotions swirling within him.

…

Fang Lin was determined to go to the Seven Seas to rescue Dugu Nian; he had to make the journey. If he didn’t go to save him, who else could?

Moreover, Fang Lin now had no one else he could trust. Now that the Old Dried Corpse had also left, he could only rely on himself.

Thus, Fang Lin had to go to the Seven Seas. For this he needed to prepare thoroughly.

The three sects of the Seven Seas were not a place one could simply barge into. Not only were masters as common as clouds, but there was also a mysterious woman present – the person Fang Lin feared the most.

If the Old Dried Corpse were still here, Fang Lin wouldn’t need to prepare much and could have directly rushed into the Seven Seas, but now that the Old Dried Corpse had left, he had lost a significant lifeline.

The three sects of the Seven Seas were nothing like the Xuan Country of the past. Back then, Fang Lin had ventured into Xuan Country alone for the sake of Dugu Nian, risking his life to cause an uproar. If not for his mother, Bai Qingxue’s avatar appearing at the last moment to save him, Fang Lin might have died long ago.

This trip to the Seven Seas was a hundred times more dangerous than the previous venture into Xuan Country. Even though Fang Lin’s strength had increased immensely since then, it was still a perilous journey where death might meet him before he even saw Dugu Nian.

The Dragon Bone he had fought hard to obtain from the Forest of Mist needed to be refined; Fang Lin intended to make it his second Demon Bone.

Fang Lin already possessed a Kylin Demon Bone. It was a stroke of incredible luck that would make countless martial artists envious.

While the True Dragon Bone was devoid of life, as long as it was nourished with his own blood and flesh, along with the Sacred Qi in his body, there should be no problem.

Martial artists generally only refine one Demon Bone because the risk is similar to that of a Pill Refiner refining the Soul Commanding Pill Fire.

Refining too many Demon Bones could lead to an imbalance in one’s body, transforming from human to Demon Body, just like Gu Hanshan who is still a monstrous half-human, half-demon being to this date.
