Chapter 535: Gulan Archipelago and Brother?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gulan City was a inferior silver-level city in the Qianyuan Prefecture.
From the prefecture capital, they passed through the gravitational conversion layer and arrived at Gulan City. The sky was already dark.
In the sky, the stars flickered like cold and white ice shards that were scattered in a pool of black ink. They floated and flashed.
Lin Yan stood on the beach and stared at the sky for a long time. Then, he lowered his head and looked out of the sea. The black sea and the grayish-blue world met in the distance. His vision was unobstructed, as if the Chaotic Fog did not exist.
Lin Yan suddenly exhaled. It was as if someone who had been locked in a cage and could not see the light of day had finally walked out of the blockade of the four walls. He felt freedom that he had not felt for a long time.
According to Lin Mo, the space in all the lower cities was very large. Unless they were close to the edge, they would not see the Chaotic Fog. This was to ensure that the people in the lower cities could reproduce without knowing anything.
Now, after knowing so many secrets, this starry sky was no longer as ordinary as before in his eyes. How many inhabited worlds like this planet were hidden behind those stars?
At this moment, he looked at the stars. They crisscrossed and were connected from front to back. He could vaguely see a portion of the majestic aura of a divine dragon traveling the sky. Could it be that the so-called Primordial Holy Dragon Sect was a dragon formed by stars?
“Have you seen enough?”
Ling Shuangxue was still dressed like a school goddess as she stood on the beach. There was a protective circle formed by ice crystals under her feet to resist the waves that rushed up the beach.
Liu Lanqing was busy with the matters of the Demon Suppression Division, so she simply asked Ling Shuangxue, who usually had very few classes and was very free, to bring Lin Yan here.
Because of the Puppet People, their relationship had greatly eased. Or maybe, it hadn’t. But they had no choice but to join forces.
“After staying in the inner sphere for so long, I’ve almost forgotten what the sky looks like…”
Lin Yan turned around. “Let’s go.”
They had also floated up from the bottom of the water. The difference was that this time, they used a small conch-like creature, which could isolate the water pressure. They stimulated the conch to dive and float to the other side of the ball shell.
According to Liu Lanqing, there were many channels between the lower cities and the prefecture capital. Different lower cities often had different ways to return.
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was only the most mobile among them. However, from the last time, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother had disappeared, so she used this conch.
Gulan City was a silver-grade city. In fact, this name was what the prefecture capital called it. The locals were actually more used to calling themselves the Gulan Archipelago.
This was because it was actually an island city. Other than the main island where he was now, there were a total of 30 to 40 small islands nearby, all occupied by villages and small cities.
Compared to Ding’an City, the Gulan Archipelago was much larger. One could not see the Chaotic Fog unless they reached the edge of the sea cliff.
Most of the area was occupied by seawater. According to the actual land area, it could not compare to Ding’an City, but the total population was nearly a hundred times or more than Ding’an City.
On the way here, Lin Yan saw that the ships coming and going between the islands were very frequent. Furthermore, the people of the Gulan Archipelago were not unfamiliar with the Chaotic Fog. To a certain extent, they had grasped the pattern of the Chaotic Fog changing in the sea. They often went to the distant sea to catch precious fish. There was another silver-grade city on the coast, Xingyun City, that had a certain amount of trade with them.
Lin Yan had heard of Xingyun City. Zhen Youqian was from this city. It was said that business was booming and it even produced coal.
Therefore, many ships coming and going from the Gulan Archipelago were also steam ships with black smoke.
Lin Yan followed Ling Shuangxue all the way to the island. Unlike Ding’an City, Gulan City didn’t have any city walls. Furthermore, the weather was hot, and the clothes they wore were very tropical. There seemed to be faith in gods, Buddhas, and sea gods. There were sacrificial platforms filled with incense and candles everywhere.
They arrived at a two-story stone building with a courtyard on the edge of the island city.
Ling Shuangxue took out the key, opened the door, and handed the key to Lin Yan. “This is the secret office of the Demon Suppression Division here. You’ll live here from now on. There’s a special unwired telegraph in the basement. Before you came, I’ve already instructed you how to use it. If you discover anything unusual, you can contact me at any time.”
Lin Yan nodded. “Anything unusual… Can I handle it myself?”
Ling Shuangxue looked at him deeply. “As long as you don’t mess around, you can deal with it. However, we’ve secretly investigated Gulan City. For some reason, there are very few Puppet People. There’s a high chance that nothing big will happen.”
Lin Yan nodded. He recalled that Lin Mo had told him that Zhao Pan would sometimes infiltrate the human world and enjoy the joy of being a human. He especially liked the feeling of having a beauty in his arms on the beach and coast.
Could it be that Gulan City was the vacation place he had left for himself?
“Since you’ve made it clear, I’ll leave first.”
“I won’t send you off.”
Ling Shuangxue took a few steps forward before stopping. She suddenly turned around, bit her lip, and looked at Lin Yan worriedly. “Lin Yan, do you think we can break through the Green God’s seal and reach the wider world outside?”
Lin Yan shook his head. “I don’t know.”
“…Can’t you say something nicer?”
Lin Yan shook his head. “The answer is that I don’t know, not that we can’t.
That’s already the best thing to say.”
Ling Shuangxue let out a long sigh. “That’s true. That’s a true god…”
After Ling Shuangxue left the small courtyard, Lin Yan turned around to check. He dove into the ground and not long after, he floated up from the ground with three red altars.
With a wave of his hand, spiritual power shot out like a rope and closed the door. Only then did Lin Yan put two altars in two rooms and leave the last one in the middle of the courtyard.
“Xiaozhi…”
Lin Yan took a deep breath and took out Xiaozhi’s jade statue. There seemed to be light flowing in the middle of the crystal clear jade statue.
Then, his consciousness entered the Immortal Seed Space and directly took out ten red jade bayberry balls at once!
The Myriad Treasures Tree shook, and a strange power seeped out, covering the ten red jade bayberry balls and softening them into liquid drops that dripped onto the altar!
Soon, the entire altar was covered in red liquid droplets that seeped into the red patterns.
After placing Xiaozhi on it, the jade statue immediately floated. The white smoke that he had seen last time burst out from the jade statue again and wrapped tightly around the red altar.
Just like the last time, the red threads merged into the jade statue and gradually formed blood marks inside the jade statue, like blood vessels. Then, they condensed into a small heart that thumped. Finally, they condensed into Xiaozhi’s flesh and blood!
Seeing that the red color of the altar decreased again, Lin Yan took out ten more red jade balls and threw them into the altar.
The altar instantly stabilized. The light and Xiaozhi’s body exchanged. This time, Xiaozhi did not shrink back. Instead, she completely stabilized and gently stepped on the altar.
“You… Xiaozhi… Brother!”
