Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Temporarily Returning to the Mortal World

Along the way, the influence of the Lonely Star of Calamity seemed to become more frequent.

The inn caught fire on the night they were staying.

The next day on the road, they encountered bandits twice.

In the evening, they even faced an attack from fierce beasts.

Zhao Wanxi looked at Lin Xing and noticed his furrowed brow, as if he were somewhat dissatisfied.

She thought to herself, "Is he unable to hold on much longer?"

However, Lin Xing was frowning, thinking to himself, "This Lonely Star of Calamity is kind of weak."

"Unlucky as it is, it still hasn’t managed to kill me."

Afterward, as Zhao Wanxi, Lin Xing, and Bai Yiyi spent more time together, the influence brought by the Lonely Star of Calamity seemed to gradually change.

The unfortunate little incidents gradually ceased, and they began to encounter some even more dangerous situations.

Then, Zhao Wanxi felt something was very wrong, extremely wrong...

While they were about to eat at a roadside tavern, Lin Xing suddenly flipped the table, "Dare you poison the food?"

Then Zhao Wanxi saw Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi stand up and kill the tavern’s owner and employees.

When they ran into a merchant convoy, Lin Xing suddenly brought out his sword pellet, shouting, "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how dare you rob and kill passersby?"

After a fierce fight, he and Bai Yiyi had slaughtered everyone on the street.

While on a ferry, Lin Xing didn’t hesitate and broke the ferryman’s knees with a stick, throwing him into the river.

Right afterward, a huge dark shadow emerged from beneath the water, swallowing the ferryman whole, while Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi took the chance to row away.

Spirit Vision (Level 3, 1%) → (Level 3, 29%)

Seeing Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi kill people so freely, Zhao Wanxi was truly shocked; she felt these two were far more dangerous than the Lonely Star of Calamity itself.

Especially seeing Lin Xing always looking at her with expectation and his incoherent state after each killing, Zhao Wanxi began to feel scared.

"This man seems like a madman."

Zhao Wanxi sat in the carriage, observing Lin Xing who was sitting cross-legged beside her, feeling both scared and anxious, in fear that he might suddenly go berserk and kill her.

...

Elsewhere, a young man rode a horse, chasing northward with sweat drenched hair.

The youth was a disciple of Du Chuang from the Evil-cutting Sect.

He was sent to track Lin Xing, leaving markers for Du Chuang and others who were gathering to follow.

Initially, he could keep up, but later he couldn’t figure out what went wrong, as he galloped desperately without catching another glimpse of them.

"Why can’t I catch up despite them being in a carriage?"

"Did I take a wrong turn?"

...

Inside a dilapidated temple of the Mountain God.

Zhao Wanxi sat in a corner of the hall, daring not to move.

In her eyes, the nearby Lin Xing exuded terrifying murderous intent, like a wild beast choosing its prey.

Lin Xing rubbed his temples, constantly recalling past memories.

With the recent days of time reversal and repeated battles, a vast amount of reincarnation memories integrated into his mind.

He felt as if he had been away from Dongya Prefecture for a very long time, having undergone a lengthy journey, even past memories had become somewhat blurred.

Lin Xing remembered the effects of resting and surfing the internet in the present world.

He thought to himself, "I need to go back and rest for a couple of days to solidify my understanding. Otherwise, if I encounter a few more battles, it might be too late."

So, he turned to Bai Yiyi beside him and said, "Master Bai, please stay here for a day or two, I need to go back once."

Bai Yiyi, unhappy, said, "How can we stay in these wild mountains? Let’s go back together."

Lin Xing glanced at Zhao Wanxi and the Puppet Girl, thinking it would be safer to take them back with him.

Then, Lin Xing performed a Secret Technique at the temple gate, dragging the expressionless Puppet Girl and the puzzled Zhao Wanxi, and the three of them crossed the gate back to the present world’s Building C.

When Lin Xing came to his senses, he saw a graceful figure floating in mid-air, watching TV.

Lin Xing exclaimed in surprise, "Jing Shiyu? What are you doing here?"

Jing Shiyu turned her head, looked at Lin Xing and the girls he was holding, and said thoughtfully, "I was a bit worried about you, but it seems you haven’t been lonely on your journey north."

Lin Xing subconsciously released the hands of the two girls, pointing first to the Puppet Girl, "This is a puppet, as you know."

Then pointing to Zhao Wanxi, he said, "This one I saved on the road, a Lone Evil Star."

After a pause, Lin Xing added, "Very useful."

Jing Shiyu glanced at Zhao Wanxi and shook her head helplessly, "You are too kind, always bringing home any random stray cats and dogs."

"He... kind?" Hearing Jing Shiyu’s comment, Zhao Wanxi was speechless inside, but was so shocked by the scene before her that she could not bother about these words.

Lin Xing didn’t know why, even though many past memories had blurred, he somehow remembered Jing Shiyu quite clearly.

He asked again, "Why are you here?"

Jing Shiyu said, "The secret technique to open the Immortal Gate isn’t only known to you, it has been passed down secretly, but over the years many have tried without success, so it was gradually forgotten."

"I looked through my collection and actually found it."

Later, Lin Xing remembered that he had indeed found this Immortal Gate secret technique in two places.

At this moment, he hadn’t recalled this detail, but according to what Jing Shiyu said, he deduced that as time passed, more Mirror World people would discover the secret technique had taken effect and then come to the present world.

Could it be that there are already Mirror World masters hidden in the present world and yet to be discovered?

After all, it seemed the authorities could only predict the opening of the gate by the secret technique a little ahead of time.

With this thought, Lin Xing sensed undercurrents stirring in the present world.

Jing Shiyu, watching his changing expression, seemed to guess what he was thinking.

She said, "A war between the two worlds is inevitable, and because of the existence of the secret technique, you are the passive side."

"Realizing this, I wanted to come here and see if I could collaborate with people from your world."

Lin Xing puzzledly asked, "Collaborate how?"

A flash of authority shone in Jing Shiyu’s eyes, "Xingxiao Sect can collaborate with people from your world, and naturally, so can I, Jing Shiyu."

But looking at Lin Xing before her, her tone softened, "I’ve already discussed specific collaboration directions with your people, Lin Xing. You just focus on getting better, don’t worry about the details; leave those matters to me to handle."
