Chapter 362: Chapter 361: Escape

"I wonder what brings senior here to find me?" Liang Yu immediately inquired.

At the same time, his tone was comparatively polite.

Liang Yu could naturally tell that the guy before him was an ancient figure.

If possible, Liang Yu really didn’t want to offend such an ancient figure.

And Horse Face was very pleased with Liang Yu’s politeness.

"Hehe!"

After chuckling, Horse Face said, "Young man, I’m here to propose cooperation with you!"

"Cooperation?" Liang Yu inquired.

Horse Face nodded and replied, "That’s right, cooperation!"

While speaking, Horse Face’s face always carried a smile. After a pause, he continued, "I know you want that kid’s body, but you have your reservations, because his Cultivation has not reached the King Profound Realm, so you dare not carry out Body Seizing on him for fear he can’t bear it."

Liang Yu nodded.

Indeed, he was quite worried.

Although Uncle Fu had previously said there should be no problem, Liang Yu was still anxious; after all, he only had one chance. If he missed this opportunity, it would be tough for him to find another Body Seizing candidate that suited him so well.

"Hehe!"

Horse Face chuckled again and then said, "How about this, I’ll help you, and you can be assured that with my help, you can definitely succeed in Body Seizing!"

"You’ll help me?"

Liang Yu asked again, "I’m curious, why would you want to help me? After all, there’s no acquaintance between us!"

Horse Face shook his head and said, "The reason I am helping you has nothing to do with any so-called acquaintance but rather... for benefits!"

Having said that, Horse Face paused for a moment then continued, "Here’s the deal. We work together, when the time comes, you refine his body, and as for his soul, it’s mine. How about it?"

Liang Yu didn’t immediately agree.

He thought to himself: "Could it be that there’s something special about that guy’s soul?"

Horse Face seemed to know what Liang Yu was thinking and chuckled before continuing, "I guarantee, without my help, you won’t be able to successfully Body Seize, and you might even get refined instead!"

Finally, Horse Face added, "Trust me, I won’t deceive you!"

Liang Yu seemed hesitant!

But after a while, he nodded and said, "Alright, pleased to cooperate with you!"

Liang Yu guessed that Lin Fan’s soul must be extraordinary, but for now the pressing matter was to resolve Body Seizing Lin Fan’s body first. As for other matters, they could wait for later!

...

Inside Lin Fan’s Cave Mansion!

At this moment, Lin Fan’s expression had turned extremely gloomy.

"Hehe!"

Lin Fan sneered, angrily thinking, "Do they see me as a hot commodity... actually wanting to divide me up?"

Then, Lin Fan stood up, preparing to leave this place.

This place had become a lair of wolves, and Lin Fan knew that he was no match for either Horse Face or Liang Yu, not to mention other people in the canyon.

In other words, staying here would be very dangerous; he could truly lose his life.

So, leaving first was the priority!

However, as Lin Fan was preparing to leave, a shadowy figure appeared not far in front of him.

This was an elderly man with white hair.

Not only was his hair white, but even his beard had turned white, and he walked with a trembling gait.

Regardless, the elder didn’t give off a sense of decrepitude; on the contrary, he seemed elderly but vigorous.

Also, the elder had a kind and benevolent appearance, giving a very good impression.

"Hmm?"

Upon seeing the shadowy figure, Lin Fan couldn’t help but be startled.

Because he sensed a familiar aura from the elder.

Lin Fan was certain that, unless proven otherwise, he had met this elder before, but as to where exactly, he couldn’t recall at the moment.

"Hehe!"

The elder then chuckled and asked, "Young man, don’t you recognize me?"

"Is it you?"

Hearing the elder’s voice, Lin Fan was taken aback!

As it turned out, the elder was none other than the turtle he had met before.

The turtle sighed and said, "I did not expect that humans could enter this sealed land; it’s completely beyond my expectation. But... alas, once humans enter this sealed land, they are only met with a dead end. With so many Heavenly Demons here, not to mention you, an ant who hasn’t even reached the King Profound Realm, even a cultivator surpassing Saint Ascension would meet their end!"

"Initially, I wasn’t planning to intervene; your life and death really mean nothing to me. However... I sensed the aura of an old friend on you, so I thought I’d give you a hand!"

"Speaking of which, it’s been ten thousand years since I last saw my old friend, but I never expected that he would have passed away already,"

the turtle lamented as it spoke.

When Lin Fan heard the turtle’s words, he was greatly surprised and asked, "Esteemed senior, your old friend?"

"Mm!"

The turtle nodded, and then with a wave of its hand, a shadowy figure gradually appeared.

Lin Fan felt odd upon seeing this shadowy figure.

It turned out that this figure was the Soul Body that he had previously refined. After refining the Soul Body, he had also acquired the Ancient Dominating Soul Technique. Presently, the majority of the Soul Body was still lying quietly in Lin Fan’s Soul Ocean, waiting for Lin Fan’s strength to increase further before he continued to refine it.

Lin Fan had never dreamt that the Soul Body would have such a powerful friend like this turtle.

At the same time, Lin Fan couldn’t help but worry. If the turtle knew that he had refined his friend’s Soul Body, Lin Fan wondered if it would kill him on the spot.

The turtle, however, did not notice Lin Fan, as it was still lost in its memories. It asked Lin Fan, "You, you must have received his legacy, right?"

"I..."

Lin Fan felt guilty, unsure of how to respond properly.

"Hm?"

The turtle looked over to Lin Fan and asked, "What’s the matter?"

Now, the turtle also realized that something seemed off about Lin Fan!

Lin Fan knew that he couldn’t hide the truth!

After gritting his teeth, Lin Fan decided to tell the truth...

So Lin Fan said, "Esteemed senior, to tell you the truth, your friend’s Soul Body has already been refined by me. To put it precisely, it hasn’t been completely refined. Currently, most of his Soul Body is still residing in my Soul Ocean!"

Regarding this matter, Lin Fan did not intend to hide it.

Because Lin Fan knew that the turtle before him had great Divine Skills, if he tried to hide it, the turtle could easily find out with just a bit of attention. Rather than being discovered, Lin Fan preferred to confess proactively.

The turtle looked at Lin Fan without saying a word!

However, its expression gradually began to change.

Lin Fan stared at the turtle.

At this moment, Lin Fan also saw that there was something wrong with the turtle, but he did not know what the turtle would do...

After a while, the turtle shook its head and asked, "How did you refine his Soul Body?"

Lin Fan promptly recounted the whole series of events.

Including how the Soul Body had planned to seize Lin Fan’s body, but ultimately was refined by Lin Fan instead, and so on...

After listening, the turtle sighed deeply and shook its head, "Ah, young man, I don’t blame you. In that situation, you refining his Soul Body was justifiable; I just didn’t expect... my friend, in his later years, to be demonized. When he was young, he was upright and just, even if he died and his soul scattered, he would not have snatched someone else’s body! Perhaps, to him, you refining his Soul Body is also a form of release!"

Upon hearing the turtle’s words, Lin Fan was rather astonished and asked, "Esteemed senior, you don’t intend to... avenge your friend?"

"Avenge?"

The turtle shook its head, saying, "Why should I seek revenge? Since you’ve refined my friend’s Soul Body, you are, in a way, his rebirth. If I don’t kill you, I can still see traces of him in you. However, if I kill you, he will be truly dead."

Lin Fan found the turtle’s explanation quite incomprehensible.

Regardless, the turtle not seeking revenge for its friend was indeed a fortunate event for him...

The turtle left.

It came in haste and left in haste!

Lin Fan did not know the real purpose of the turtle’s visit.

However, he did not further inquire.

Although Liang Yu and Horse Face had teamed up, for some unknown reason, they still had not made their move against Lin Fan...

Lin Fan quietly stayed inside the Cave Mansion!

At this time, his heart also felt somewhat gloomy and helpless.

Knowing how numerous the Heavenly Demons were here, and even though his own strength was not bad, he was certainly no match for these Heavenly Demons...

"It seems I must find a way to leave this place," Lin Fan thought to himself.

Lin Fan had already decided to leave.

Although there were many treasures here.

But, no matter how many treasures there were, one needed to be alive to spend them.

Staying here meant he could lose his life at any moment, so what would be the use of having more treasures?

Lin Fan monitored Liang Yu all the time with the power of the Netherworld.

At night, Liang Yu was quietly Cultivating.

"Now, time to escape!"

Lin Fan slowly left the Cave Mansion, ready to make his getaway, and simultaneously activated the Universal Navigation System. Lin Fan no longer planned to look for treasures; he intended to head straight back to the Chaotic Land...

But...

To Lin Fan’s frustration, even after opening the Universal Image, he realized he had no way out. Wherever he went, the Universal Image indicated danger.

It was as if Lin Fan had fallen into an endless sea of peril.
