Chapter 855: Chapter 853 Black Water City

The other two were equally powerful. One wore a purple robe, with a fair complexion, as if he hadn’t seen the sun for many days.

Even more peculiar were his eyes, also purple, filled with mystery.

The other was a tall, burly young man.

The purple-eyed youth was named Ye Yan, ranked twenty-fifth on the Xuan Venerate List.

The burly youth was named Yang Lin, ranked thirty-sixth on the Xuan Venerate List.

Bing Ling nodded slightly at Lin Xuan, then introduced the two beside him.

Then he pointed at Lin Xuan and said, “This is the last member of our team, Lin Xuan. I believe you’re familiar with him.”

“Haha, Brother Lin, how could we not be? The life-and-death battle that day was truly spectacular!” Yang Lin laughed heartily.

Indeed, nowadays in the academy, almost everyone knew Lin Xuan. After all, most people still remembered vividly the life-and-death battle from a few days ago.

“I never expected you’d be so lucky to get a Half Earth-grade Treasure.”

Beside them, Dongfang Fenghuang’s beautiful eyes shifted as she hummed lightly.

Ye Yan and the others also looked at the sword on Lin Xuan’s back, their eyes flickering.

“Brother Lin, our mission this time is a treasure hunt, better to keep a low profile. Carrying the Lonely Star Sword like that might attract unnecessary trouble.” Bing Ling frowned slightly as well.

“I sincerely apologize. Due to my cultivation, I’m unable to stow away the Lonely Star Sword for now.” Lin Xuan apologized, “How about this, I’ll wrap the Lonely Star Sword with cloth to disguise its shape, that should avoid some trouble.”

“In that case, I have a light scarf made of Heavenly Flowing Sand that can block soul detection. You can use it to wrap the Lonely Star Sword; it’ll be absolutely secure.” Bing Ling suggested.

“Heavenly Flowing Sand? Blocking soul detection! That’s a valuable item!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes shone brightly.

Heavenly Flowing Sand, capable of isolating divine sense, is naturally valuable, and no one expected Bing Ling to offer it to Lin Xuan.

With a wave of Bing Ling’s jade hand, a one-meter long rectangular blue scarf drifted quickly into Lin Xuan’s hand.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.”

Lin Xuan accepted it and then smiled, “Senior Sister, I have a small space Transmission Platform, and I’ll give it to you now.”

With that, Lin Xuan produced a Mystic Jade Platform.

Given that the other party offered him a soul-isolating treasure, it would be impolite to accept it empty-handed, so he planned to exchange it with the Mystic Jade Platform.

“Space teleportation!”

Once again, everyone was shocked, their eyes ablaze with excitement. They hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to possess such a treasure.

This type of item is lifesaving in critical moments!

Bing Ling was momentarily stunned, then she smiled lightly, “Brother Lin, you’re thoughtful. I’ll accept it.”

Her smile was like ten-thousand-year-old ice melting, making the world lose its color.

Even Lin Xuan was momentarily dazed.

It must be said, Bing Ling is indeed a peerless beauty.

He took a deep breath to steady himself, then wrapped the Lonely Star Sword with Heavenly Flowing Sand, and covered it further with a layer of black cloth, before strapping it to his back.

This way, he could remain close to the Lonely Star Sword and shield others’ perception, thus avoiding trouble.

“Everyone’s almost ready, let’s move.” Bing Ling said, her smile fading as she spoke calmly.

Upon hearing that, Lin Xuan and the others nodded and quickly set off.

The five of them formed a team and swiftly flew out of the Immortal Martial Academy.

“Our destination this time is the Black Water River, which is relatively close to the center of the Blood Domain. At this speed, it should take about ten days to get there.”

“Flying like this consumes too much spiritual power. Why not use this?”

With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Xuan patted his Demon Beast Bag.

Immediately, a golden figure appeared and grew in size, transforming into a golden Divine Eagle several dozen feet long.

“A Demon General! Such fierce demon energy!”

The group was moved to see the Golden Feathered Divine Eagle.

“Let’s all go up, a ten-day journey is quite a drain on stamina.” Bing Ling said, flitting over to land on the Golden Feathered Divine Eagle’s back.

The others hopped on as well, gathering on the Divine Eagle’s back and sitting cross-legged.

Subsequently, Bing Ling began explaining the treasure-seeking mission.

First was their destination this time, the Black Water River, a fascinating area renowned in the Blood Domain.

Reportedly, thousands of years ago, countless powerhouses fought a great battle near the Black Water River. No one remembers the cause of the conflict.

Nevertheless, the battle was recorded in history as exceedingly tragic.

Numerous powerhouses perished, blood flowing like rivers. The blood mixed into the water, turning it black.

This bizarre happening contributed to the Black Water River’s fame.

After the fall of those powerhouses, their Treasures, Storage Rings, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were all left near the Black Water River.

For hundreds of years, lucky individuals have occasionally found powerful inheritances and treasures near the Black Water River, altering their destinies.

As a result, the Black Water River became a popular treasure-seeking site.

“Our mission also involves the Black Water River. According to reports, there’s a treasure cave left by an Eighth Layer Heaven Venerable there.” Bing Ling said.

“The Black Water River is not just a river, it’s a vast region.” Bing Ling continued, “Our first stop is Black Water City, the largest city within ten thousand miles.”

The City Lord of Black Water City is a Fourth-level Venerable and considered an overlord in the area.

While Bing Ling explained, the Golden Feathered Divine Eagle spread its wings, flying like a golden lightning bolt fast through the void.

About seven or eight days later, a massive city outline emerged, resembling a wilderness giant beast sprawling over the land.

“We’ll first land in Black Water City for a rest and collect some information,” Bing Ling said.

“After all, we’re not the only team here, there might be other forces with the same objective, so we need to be well-prepared.”

Bing Ling’s thorough planning showed his familiarity with treasure-hunting tasks.

Lin Xuan and the others had no objections, all agreeing with a nod.

Subsequently, the five left the Golden Feathered Divine Eagle, descending through the air. Lin Xuan waved his hand, summoning the Golden Feathered Divine Eagle back.

He followed the others, landing in front of the city.

Lin Xuan squinted slightly, gazing forward.

It was an exceedingly majestic city, pitch black all around, exuding a murderous aura.

The scale of the city was vast, seemingly not inferior to Wind-Seeking City.

At the city gate, martial artists came and went incessantly, an unending stream. Most of them were here to seek treasures at Black Water River.

“Let’s go in.” Bing Ling said softly, taking the first step forward.

Lin Xuan and the others followed behind, paid their Spirit Stones, and entered Black Water City.

The interior was even more bustling, with all sorts of materials and dazzling displays.

Ye Yan and the others were composed, being old students who had visited many places, but Dongfang Fenghuang was visiting such a city for the first time, her beautiful eyes full of excitement.

“Junior Sister Dongfang, these items are worth looking at, but the real treasures are inside the city,” Bing Ling said, “I’ll show you the genuine transaction area of Black Water City later.”
