By noon the following day, Lin Caogen had already abdicated!
He led Du Yumei, Gu Xun'er, and Fang Xueyi down the mountain and out of the sect, heading towards the capital city of Haojing!
Gu Xun'er laughed and said, "Brother Lin! I heard you have a villa in Haojing City! You won it when you participated in the Top 100 Sects Competition back then!"
Lin Caogen smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right! That was all more than forty years ago! I have two villas in Haojing City! Our trip to Haojing City is for two reasons: first, to pay the property management fees for the two villas; and second, to see if our master is still alive!"
Gu Xun'er asked curiously, "Your master is there? Who is he?"
Lin Caogen frankly stated, "His name is Yao Mengchen, and he is known as the Sage of Medicine!"
Gu Xun'er was startled, then said, "I seem to have heard of this person before! It is said that he is a nine-star immortal saint, and his alchemy skills are among the top three in the entire Immortal Gang Continent! He should be from the Five Mountains Region! How come he is here!"
Lin Caogen sighed, "I heard they also fled here! Master's opponent is someone from the other side of the Immortal Continent! They are very strong!"
Gu Xun'er frowned and said, "I've long heard that the demonic cultivators on the other side of the Immortal Continent are digging tunnels! I heard that a tunnel in the Five Mountains region was opened up a hundred years ago! The Five Mountains Emperor Huang Feihu exhausted all his strength to seal and suppress the entrance! But he was injured after that, and I don't know if he has recovered yet!"
Lin Caogen said, "Xun'er! You seem to know a lot! Do you know who the demonic cultivators behind the Immortal Gang Continent really are?"
Gu Xun'er whispered in the carriage, "I know! I heard my father tell me about it when I was a child! During the last cataclysmic war, the gods sent young disciples to our Immortal Gang Continent for training! As a result, that disciple was killed by a man from our Immortal Gang Continent named Shi Benzun! Shi Benzun seized his godhood and ascended to the God Realm to become a true god! The resentment of the deceased disciple lingers, and his remnant soul lies dormant on the back side of the Immortal Gang Continent, intending to wipe out all the humans on the Immortal Gang Continent to avenge his death!"
"So that's how it is! No wonder there are no such demonic cultivators on other continents, only on the Immortal Continent! It turns out they are the evil thoughts left behind by the young disciples of the God Clan who died in battle! How terrifying! Even if the members of the God Clan die in battle, the evil thoughts they leave behind can still wreak havoc on the continent! If the true god himself were to come, he could probably destroy the world with a mere gesture!"
Gu Xun'er sighed, "I heard that there are only ten thousand years left until the next world-ending war! Sometimes I think it's terrifying! But then I think, well, we're all going to die anyway! Being with the people I love is quite nice!"
Suddenly! The carriage carrying Lin Caogen, Gu Xun'er, Du Yumei, and Fang Xueyi was intercepted by more than ten people.
Just then, someone outside the carriage shouted, "Sect Leader Lin, what good fortune you have! We've waited a whole year for you, and you've finally emerged from your turtle shell!"
