The Walan Empire, with its capital at Walan City.
A huge immortal boat seemed to be approaching slowly, but it was actually approaching at an astonishing speed. At first glance, it was just a black dot, but when you looked again, it was already a hundred feet in size.
"What's this?"
"Spirit Boat? But the aura emitted by this Spirit Boat doesn't sound like that of a Spirit Boat at all..."
"Look, someone is coming down from above..."
"Suck... Even with my Mahayana cultivation, even from such a long distance, I feel extremely oppressed. This reminds me of my experience facing tigers and other ferocious beasts when I was still a mortal boy!"
Li Ran and the other three did not deliberately shield their auras, because this would save them a lot of trouble. Just like now, an old man in a dragon robe flew over from the palace in a panic and bowed respectfully, saying:
"Welcome to our Wagu Star and the Walan Empire, may I be of any service to you?"
Although the King of the Walan Empire was also a terrestrial immortal, he was extremely panicked when facing Li Ran and the other three, fearing that he would not entertain them well enough. Not to mention the noble status of Li Ran and the other three, just in terms of strength, the King of the Walan Empire felt that he was no match for any of them.
As the only empire on a planet with life, although the ruler of the Walan Empire cannot contact the direct branch of Jinlong Mountain, he has heard some information about his immediate superior.
He received the news when Li Ran and the other three arrived on Walan Star, but Li Ran and the other three had no intention of looking for him, and he did not dare to take the initiative to contact them for fear of making them unhappy. Now that he saw Li Ran and the other three took the initiative to look for him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, I need your help with something!" Li Ran glanced at the crowd of onlookers below and thought this wasn't the right place to discuss things, so he said to the three people around him: "Let's go down first..."
Hearing Li Ran's words, the king hurriedly wanted to order his subordinates to prepare a state banquet, but he refused. He had no intention of organizing such complicated banquets.
The king also understood the thoughts of Li Ran and the others, so he brought Li Ran into a VIP room in the palace and personally poured him a few cups of the most precious fairy tea. However, he stood in front cautiously, without any airs of a king.
"Lord, please sit down. We are just here to ask you some questions. You don't have to be like this..." Li Ran said with a smile.
Since the disciple of the upper sect had spoken, the king did not refuse. He knew human psychology very well and believed that obedience was the most important and most comfortable thing.
"I don't know what the four immortals are asking. As long as I know something, I will tell them everything!" King Walan said with his head lowered.
After some contact, he found that Li Ran and the others did not have the bad habits of the gifted children, and he felt much more at peace.
Li Ran didn't say too many pleasantries and directly asked what he wanted to know.
"Lin?" The face of the King of Walan changed slightly.
Li Ran saw the Walan King's expression and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Do you know anything about the Lin family? Is the Lin family well-known in Walan?"
He didn't believe that the Lin family, who could become the target of the sect's mission for the inner disciples of the Jinlongshan branch, was just an ordinary family.
He felt that the two Lin families that were slaughtered must be branches of a large Lin family.
“This…” The Lord of Walan was somewhat embarrassed, but then he gritted his teeth and said, “Master, the royal family of the previous dynasty was surnamed Lin, but I swear I did not send anyone to massacre them, because the country is now peaceful and the previous dynasty destroyed itself when it was unpopular!”
"Besides, the Lin family isn't a small family. Furthermore, over tens of thousands of years, even if there's a blood relationship with the previous dynasty's royal family, it's been extremely diluted..."
"Not to mention that the late emperor never massacred the royal family of the previous dynasty in the past tens of thousands of years. Even when he first established the country and occupied the former dynasty's Forbidden City, there was no massacre..."
Seeing the panicked look on Lord Walan's face, Li Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, we naturally believe you when you say that. We at Jinlong Mountain won't interfere in your internal affairs. Since the sect has posted this task in the sect affairs hall, it means that this matter is not that simple, and it is certainly not a disturbance within your empire!"
After hearing what Li Ran said, the King of Walan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It would be too unfair if people thought that he was the one who did it.
Li Jia and the other three nodded. The inner disciples were carefully selected for training. Only when the core disciples started would the missions be truly unprotected. The sect could not always escort the disciples. Some sects had no guarantees from the outer gate onwards. It was possible for the disciples in the human immortal stage to encounter the middle three realms or even the upper three realms.
"Please wait a moment, Immortals. I will go and get all the jade talismans left by the previous royal family..."
After Li Ran nodded, the Lord of Walan retreated. A quarter of an hour later, he rushed back with a suspended space ring in his hands: "Dear senior immortals, all the jade talismans related to the previous dynasty are in this space ring. Please check it out!"
Li Ran took the space ring and absorbed all the information of the jade talisman with Li Jia and others. Then he closed his eyes and quickly checked the information in his mind.
"Hmm? The Soul Sect?"
Li Ran's eyes suddenly opened, and a divine light suddenly shot out. This scene frightened King Walan so much that his heart trembled. Although he knew that this was not directed at him, he still felt a palpitation.
This leading immortal was indeed extraordinary. Just one glance at him made me feel no resistance at all, and the King of Walan became even more humble.
"What's wrong, Li Feng?" Li Zirui asked curiously.
"The Corpse Soul Sect!" Didn't you hear what Li Feng said just now? Wang Chen rolled his eyes.
"Could it be that the previous dynasty of Walan Star is related to the Corpse Soul Sect? That's impossible. The Corpse Soul Sect is a top sect after all. If they really are related, they would not have perished without the intervention of our Jinlong Mountain!" Li Jia pinched his chin and asked doubtfully.
"By the way, Lord Walan, what you meant before was that the previous dynasty collapsed on its own?" Li Ran asked.
The Lord of Walan recalled and said, "Yes, according to the internal history of our royal family, although the former dynasty was unpopular, it was still extremely powerful. It is said that there were powerful people in the celestial immortal stage. Even the current Walan Empire cannot compare with them!"
Although it was embarrassing to say it out loud, after all, so many years had passed, and it was still not as bad as the period when the previous dynasty was about to fall, but he knew that now was not the time to dwell on this.
"As for your Excellency's Corpse Soul Sect, I haven't heard of it, but it's said that the previous dynasty did have a strange technique that could control people. We don't know why the previous Lin royal family, which had powerful Celestial Immortals, suddenly collapsed. I've never been able to figure it out!"
Li Ran and the others looked at each other and agreed that this matter was definitely related to the Corpse Soul Sect. Moreover, in tens of thousands of years, a large number of people with the surname Lin suddenly died, and many places inside were violently opened. They were looking for something.
