The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 720: Chapter 360: Return to True Form

After leaving the City Lord Mansion, Lin Yi covered Xu Yu Rou and her companion with an Element-less Spirit Power Shield and then chose a route with fewer demons based on the observations of the Eye of Emptiness.

As they traveled, Xu Yu Rou kept her eyes on Lin Yi’s back, her heart inevitably filled with longing for her own master. The elder she was following now was as cautious and decisive in his actions as her own master had been. Standing behind him, she felt a great sense of security.

Alas, her own master had already ascended to immortality and ceased to exist. She had dreamed many times that her master was still alive, but upon waking, it was all in vain.

She didn’t wallow in the past, instead focusing on her cultivation with the hope of reaching the ultimate end of cultivation and being able to resurrect her master.

Although the elder who rescued her bore some resemblance to her master, he was not her master.

Lin Yi, walking ahead, naturally sensed the change in Xu Yu Rou’s expression. He smiled. This girl, after more than six hundred years, was still missing him.

He decided that his Invincible East clone would accompany Xu Yu Rou in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace.

Under the effect of the Eye of Emptiness and the Element-less Spirit Power, the three of them left Demonfall City unscathed and headed in the direction of the Main City of Demon Purging.

When Lin Yi had previously traveled alone from the Main City to Demonfall City, it took him a little over three months. Now, with Xu Yu Rou and her companion, even using the technique of low-flying on a Flying Sword, it would take about a year.

Having successfully rescued Master Golden Sword and others over several years, he was already quite satisfied. Next, he could cultivate in peace among the Demon Tribe and take advantage of the situation.

Some time after leaving Demonfall City, Lin Yi received a message from his Overlord Clone’s Primordial Spirit Communication. Elder Xu Fenghai of Demon Slaying Spirit City must have sensed the death of that Void Refinement Cultivator, which caused him to dispatch three Void Refinement Cultivators to investigate in the Demon Clan region.

In the communication, the Overlord Clone suggested that Dongfang Bubai could come to Demon Slaying Spirit City and request assistance from the elder so that he could enter the Demon Clan region openly to provide help.

Lin Yi rejected the Overlord Clone’s proposal. Three Void Refinement Cultivators were not a concern to him—he could sense their presence in advance with the Eye of Emptiness and easily avoid them. Besides, his destination was the Main City of Demon Purging, not the Demon Slaying Spirit City.

Dongfang Bubai indicated that he would bring Chen Huanyu, Jin Heng, and Liu Yuehua to wait for his return in the Main City of Demon Purging.

Lin Yi actually quite agreed with this plan. After all, with Dongfang Bubai waiting in the city, things would be much more convenient. Sometimes, the identity of a Dao Palace Disciple could solve many problems.

About half a year later, they had covered most of the journey. In two or three more months, they estimated they would reach the Main City of Demon Purging.

At that time, Lin Yi also detected the traces of three Void Refinement Cultivators. It seemed they were using some Special Spiritual Artifacts that prevented the demons from sensing any significant Spiritual Power Fluctuations.

With his strength, he could take on three Void Refinement Cultivators, but there was no need to.

Lin Yi simply bypassed them from afar. In the Demon Clan region, the landscape was not flat but full of mountains, making it easy to avoid being detected.

Although they used Special Spiritual Artifacts, they also did not dare to fly in the sky with Sword Control. They were also flying low to the ground.

As they drew closer to the Main City of Demon Purging, the number of demons visibly decreased. After more than two months, they saw the formation mist of the Spirit City of Demon Purging.

“We have arrived. That mist up ahead is the location of the Spirit City of Demon Purging. Dongfang Bubai might already be inside the city, waiting for you,” Lin Yi said, pointing to the direction ahead.

Seeing the mist, excitement showed on Xu Yu Rou and her companion’s faces. After spending more than a hundred years in demon territory, they wanted to enter human territory more than anyone else.

“Thank you for saving our lives, senior,” they said, clasping their fists deeply in gratitude.

If not for the elder’s rescue, they would likely have been waiting alone for death in that formation.

“No need for politeness. Let’s go,” Lin Yi said, leading the two towards the Main City of Demon Purging. At the same time, he pinched a Sound Transmission Talisman, invoked it, spoke a few words, and let it fly out.

The talisman swiftly flew towards the Main City of Demon Purging and passed through the formation check and into the city.

As they approached within tens of kilometers of the Main City, three Void Refinement Cultivators flew over from not far away, greeting them casually, “Greetings, fellow Daoists. Are you also heading into the city?”

Xu Yu Rou and her companion looked at them warily and did not respond, merely glancing at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi smiled lightly, “This direction, naturally, is towards the city.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Hahaha, I spoke out of turn. Where does fellow Daoist come from, to be wandering around with two Divinity Transformation Cultivators in demon territory? Your strength must be extraordinary,” one of the Void Refinement Cultivators laughed, asking again.

“We come from demon territory and are bound for human territory. We have other matters to attend to and must leave first,” replied Lin Yi casually as he quickly left with Xu Yu Rou and her companion.

These three had guessed that they might be coming to the Main City of Demon Purging, but now that they were close to the city, they didn’t dare to make any rash moves.

According to Lin Yi’s senses, the three Void Refinement Cultivators didn’t head towards the Main City but rather fled into the distance. It seemed that they did not want to expose their identities within the city.
