The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1426 - Chapter 1426 Chapter 1524 Urgency

Chapter 1426: Chapter 1524: Urgency Chapter 1426: Chapter 1524: Urgency Cangyunzi’s expression was peculiar. He didn’t know whether Fang Lin was speaking the truth or fabricating stories. Nevertheless, Fang Lin was indeed born in Qian Country, and he had also defended it when the masters from the three sects had tried to attack.

From this, one could see that it was possible for Fang Lin to know of the mysterious woman’s existence.

“Cangyunzi, do you know where that woman is now?” Fang Lin asked, seeing the skepticism on Cangyunzi’s face.

Cangyunzi shook his head repeatedly, “That senior’s whereabouts are elusive; I have no idea.”

Hearing this, a hint of regret appeared on Fang Lin’s face, “You don’t know? That’s unfortunate. I was actually hoping to meet her and catch up on old times.”

Cangyunzi’s expression grew even more odd–Fang Lin really dared to say it. The mysterious woman’s cultivation was so profound that even Cangyunzi couldn’t fathom it, and she had a deep connection with their three sects. Even the old monsters of the sects had to bow their heads to her.

What capabilities did you, Fang Lin, have to shamelessly speak of catching up with her?

However, deep down, Cangyunzi still harbored some suspicions. Since Fang Lin dared to say so, could it be that he really was confident? Could the silver-haired old man who once made even the Burning Lamp Buddha sacrifice his life fail to shake, truly be hiding in the shadows?

With this thought, Cangyunzi was even less willing to stay there. He felt that just standing there was suffering; who knows if the silver-haired old man might suddenly appear and slap him dead.

If he really did get slapped to death, wouldn’t his death be utterly unjust? He hadn’t intended to cause trouble for Fang Lin at all; how unexpectedly unfortunate to encounter him here.

And it was Cangyunzi himself who foolishly landed on Fang Lin’s Wujie Mountain–this coincidence was just too much.

“Eh, I just remembered that I have urgent matters to attend to. I shall not keep you any longer, farewell,” said Cangyunzi, then turned around and flew away swiftly.

This time, Fang Lin did not stop him. Watching Cangyunzi disappear into the distance, the smile on Fang Lin’s face faded, replaced by a solemn expression.

“That woman seems to be in the Seven Seas. I must be cautious. If I encounter her, it might be difficult to come back in one piece,” Fang Lin thought to himself.

He also sighed in his heart. Without the Old Dried Corpse by his side, things were indeed troublesome. If the Old Dried Corpse were here, this journey to the Seven Seas would perhaps have been much smoother and easier. He wouldn’t have to be as cautious and vigilant, having gone through many life-threatening battles to reach this point.

Moreover, with the Old Dried Corpse present, Fang Lin wouldn’t need to fear that mysterious woman. Even if her strength was formidable, she would not be a match for the Old Dried Corpse, Jin Zhulong, who was once a Demon Saint

Unfortunately, the Old Dried Corpse had already left, and his current whereabouts were unknown, not to mention whether he was alive or dead.

Truthfully, Fang Lin was quite worried for the Old Dried Corpse, as the foes he faced were definitely powerful. Yet, the Old Dried Corpse had never told Fang Lin who it was that originally subdued him.

Fang Lin had once speculated that it was his father from a previous life, Fang Qingye, but soon overturned that guess.

Because he had encountered a semblance of his father, Fang Qingye, at Monkey Palm Peak. At that time, Fang Qingye must have sensed that the Old Dried Corpse was with Fang Lin, but did not say much, only ensuring that the Old Dried Corpse was unaware of that semblance.

If the person who originally subdued the Old Dried Corpse was indeed his father, Fang Qingye, then Fang Qingye’s semblance would have told him about it.

Therefore, Fang Lin deduced that the person who originally subdued the Old Dried Corpse was definitely not Fang Qingye.

But besides his own father, who else in that era had the ability to suppress a Demon Saint?

Fang Lin had a few guesses, but they were just speculations. Now, Fang Lin himself had a lot of things to deal with; he could only hope that the Old Dried Corpse would survive and that they could meet again one day.

This coincidental encounter with Cangyunzi made Fang Lin even more cautious–the location might not be far from Chongyun Temple.

Fang Lin knew that Chongyun Temple was far more terrifying than the Supreme Palace and the True Martial Hall, and if he continued to flaunt himself like this, he feared he would soon encounter interception by the strong cultivators of Chongyun Temple.

Instantly, Fang Lin put away the Boundless Mountain and used a Disguise Pill to change his appearance, making him less conspicuous.

However, Fang Lin knew that the Disguise Pill would not be very effective; whether it was the Spirit Eye or the Heavenly Eye, or those high-level Pupil Skills, they could see through Fang Lin’s disguise.

Fang Lin had long known the location of the Seven Stars Tower; there was still some distance to cover, but it was not too far now.

While flying, Fang Lin concealed his aura, making himself appear no different from an ordinary Spirit Vein Martial Artist.

But such a disguise could not escape the eyes of the Taoist Sect experts; soon, several Spirit Source Taoist Sect masters encountered Fang Lin and immediately saw through his disguise.

Luckily, these individuals were just in the Spirit Source realm, and Fang Lin managed to dispose of them all without much effort.

However, Fang Lin soon discovered that the appearance of Taoist Sect members was becoming more frequent as if they were all searching for him.

In the gravest encounter, Fang Lin met one of the Long-lived Ones, a master from Chongyun Temple.

Fang Lin’s disguise was instantly seen through by the opponent, and a fierce battle was inevitable. Fang Lin managed to fend off this person by relying on the Demon Puppet but then fled, wounded, and landed on an island.

The island was sizable and inhabited by some ordinary people without cultivation; Fang Lin arrived on the island without disturbing anyone and chose to silently heal his injuries amidst its rugged mountains.

The effect of the Seven Days Unextinguished Pill had four days remaining; Fang Lin felt an urgent need to reach the Seven Stars Tower within those four days, or he would indeed face a great crisis.

Thus, Fang Lin tried to shorten the healing time as much as possible, recklessly consuming various Healing Pills.

While Fang Lin was healing, the previously repulsed Long-lived One tracked him down and reached the island.

“This child should be on this island.” A tall, black-faced old man with a longsword on his back stood above the island, overlooking the entire island.

This man was a master from Chongyun Temple. After Cangyunzi was ordered to leave, he too left Chongyun Temple to execute Fang Lin.

However, he was not acting on orders but had received a covert invitation from True Martial Hall.

True Martial Hall promised him that if he brought Fang Lin’s head to True Martial Hall, they would gift him a treasure of True Martial and allow him to read in the Ten Thousand Book Tower for three days.

For such a reward, the sword-bearing, black-faced old man could not refuse, so he left Chongyun Temple without the Master’s permission to intercept Fang Lin.
