Chapter 138: Visiting Earth Dragon Gate, a Shocked Nan Qiuqiu
The evening breeze by Sea God Lake carried a hint of damp chill, fluttering the clothes of the three people.
Lin Sheng withdrew his gaze from looking toward the north.
He turned to look at Zhang Lexuan beside him and, without hiding too much, said with a serious expression,
"Lexuan, I plan to set off in these two days to go to the Far North. There are some very important matters I must attend to there immediately."
"You just arrived, and you're leaving right away?"
Hearing this, the eyes of Zhang Lexuan, which had been filled with tenderness and smiles, trembled slightly again, and her fair, jade-like hands subconsciously gripped Lin Sheng's sleeve.
On her clear and refined face, a deep sense of reluctance and an undeniable worry suddenly emerged.
"The Far North..."
Zhang Lexuan bit her lower lip, her gaze appearing somewhat hesitant.
However...
Before Lin Sheng could explain, a gentle ripple of Soul Power stirred in the void by Sea God Lake.
"Lexuan."
Principal Yan Shaozhe, dressed in white robes, appeared on his own, slowly walking out from the shadows of the trees.
This Inner Courtyard principal looked at the young people sticking together in front of him, a gentle and gratified smile hanging on his face.
"Now that Crown Prince Xu Tianran is dead, the interior of the Sun Moon Empire is in chaos, and the pressure on the border has suddenly decreased."
"Moreover, our Shrek and the Body Sect have officially concluded a mutual defense alliance, so the affairs of the Inner Courtyard are not busy for the time being."
He said with a smile.
"If you really can't bear to part with this kid, go with them. Consider it training away from the academy to clear your mind."
"Principal Yan..."
Zhang Lexuan was slightly stunned.
Immediately, a stunning brilliance erupted in her autumn-water-like eyes, and an irrepressible joy instantly climbed onto her thin, beautiful face.
Lin Sheng also smiled slightly and turned to look at Qiu'er.
Qiu'er generously took Zhang Lexuan's other hand, feeling very happy.
"That's great, Senior Sister Le Xuan! With you accompanying us, the journey won't be boring!"
The matter was settled.
The three did not delay too long in Shrek City. After Zhang Lexuan quickly handed over her Inner Courtyard official duties, three streams of light shot into the sky, tearing through the clear horizon.
...
Several days later, the northern sky gradually turned from azure blue to a depressing leaden gray.
As the temperature in the air plummeted, large snowflakes began to fill the world, and a magnificent border city constructed entirely of dark blue-black boulders and spirit-guiding cold-resistant metal finally appeared at the end of their line of sight.
Dragon City!
"It's been a while since I last came to Dragon City."
Revisiting an old place, strolling on the snow-covered streets of Dragon City, the biting cold wind made the robes of the three flutter noisily.
Lin Sheng looked at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar cold street scene around him, and memories of what happened at the Earth Dragon Gate back then suddenly came to mind.
Regardless...
Sect Master Nan Shuisui did save his life, didn't she?
"Since we are already here, let's go pay a visit to the Earth Dragon Gate."
Lin Sheng said softly.
Zhang Lexuan and Qiu'er naturally had no objections; along the way, the two had instead become good friends, talking about everything.
...
The mansion of the Earth Dragon Gate was located in the central area of Dragon City, still as quaint and atmospheric as ever.
When Lin Sheng brought the two peerless beauties to present their calling cards and explain their purpose, it immediately caused quite a stir within the Earth Dragon Gate.
"Lin Sheng, long time no see."
Accompanied by a gentle voice, the still-charming Sect Master Nan Shuisui of the Earth Dragon Gate appeared with her daughter, Nan Qiuqiu.
"Sect Master Nan, long time no see."
Lin Sheng smiled gently.
Seeing Lin Sheng looking like this now, Nan Shuisui couldn't help but be stunned. She remembered that this young man had always been in that painful state back then.
It was as if he had trapped himself.
"This child seems to have completely walked out of his inner pain and is able to show such a heartfelt smile."
Nan Shuisui thought to herself.
However, standing behind Nan Shuisui, the Young Miss of the Earth Dragon Gate, Nan Qiuqiu, had her beautiful eyes wide open, staring fixedly at Lin Sheng.
"My goodness... Lin Sheng, how exactly did you Cultivate?"
She could vaguely sense Lin Sheng's terrifying strength now.
Lin Sheng just smiled indifferently and waved his hand gently: "Young Miss Qiuqiu is joking, it's just some Opportunity."
Subsequently, the three were invited into the Earth Dragon Gate as guests.
A pleasant exchange followed.
However, the time spent together was always short.
With his heart set on the restoration of Electrolux's divine soul in the core area of the Far North, after chatting for half an hour, Lin Sheng slowly stood up, preparing to bid farewell to Sect Master Nan Shuisui and her daughter.
"Sect Master Nan, sorry to have disturbed you for so long. Lin Sheng has important matters to attend to on this trip, so I will not linger in Dragon City any longer. If there is a chance in the future, I will come to visit again."
Lin Sheng said with a smile.
Seeing that Lin Sheng insisted on leaving, Nan Shuisui also stood up.
However, just as she was about to see Lin Sheng out the door...
This experienced, middle-aged beauty seemed to have suddenly thought of something extremely important, her gentle face instantly becoming extremely serious, even with a touch of solemnity.
"Wait, Lin Sheng. Since you are going to enter the Far North immediately... there is something I need to remind you about."
Sect Master Nan Shuisui pulled Lin Sheng to the side, in front of the Dragon City defense map, and lowered her voice.
"Just yesterday evening, a secret line placed by my Earth Dragon Gate on the periphery of the Far North wasteland suddenly sent back a top-level intelligence report."
"A group of mysterious people wearing black robes, emitting an extremely dense and nauseating evil Soul Power fluctuation, forcibly tore through the border defense line under the cover of night and entered the Far North."
Speaking of this, Nan Shuisui's brows were tightly knitted together.
"They seemed to be holding several very special blood-colored spirit-guiding instruments. Now that the Sun Moon Empire is in chaos, this group of rats doesn't stay in Mingdu..."
"Instead, they sent such a terrifying lineup into this ten-thousand-mile ice field at this time. We have no idea what they want to do."
Hearing Nan Shuisui's heavy words, the expressions of Zhang Lexuan and Qiu'er changed at the same time.
And Lin Sheng, standing in the center.
His blood-colored eyes suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints at this moment.
"People from the Holy Spirit Cult?"
An extremely cold, terrifying killing intent, like the cold wind of the Far North, quietly flashed from the depths of his Sharingan.
"They really are a group of guys who just won't die."
Lin Sheng knew that these guys going to the Far North definitely meant nothing good; perhaps they came to steal some kind of power.
"Better go and see as soon as possible."
Thinking of this.
Lin Sheng did not hesitate any longer. He looked at Nan Shuisui and said: "In that case, we will set off immediately. If any situation threatens the safety of the Earth Dragon Gate, I will bring the information back."
