Chapter 92: Lanruo Temple

Ji Ye stood in front of the vine-covered “Lanruo Temple” stone tablet and said softly, “Lanruo Temple... I didn’t expect to encounter such a setting.”

This was clearly not the unfamiliar world of providence that he had imagined.

It could even be said that most of the people of Chidragon were very familiar with the background of this world—Ning Caichen, Yan Chixia, Nie Xiaoqian!

However, this didn’t seem to be a world of providence that should appear with Twin Dragon Mount’s present strength.

Although he couldn’t be absolutely sure, from the style of these gray wolves and Lanruo Temple, this Battlefield of Providence should have followed the movie, A Chinese Ghost Story, and not Liaozhai’s original novel, “Xiaoqian”.

This also meant that there were thousand-year-old demons like Granny Tree Demon and Old Demon Black Mountain in this world of providence.

Even in many novels, a demon that had lived for more than a thousand years would not be able to defeat an old Daoist priest who had cultivated for decades.

In particular, the two of them were originally a tree and a mountain. They were the type that cultivated very slowly.

However, the demonic power accumulated over a thousand years, even if it did not reach the Extraordinary stage, should have at least reached Extraordinary Rank-8 or 9.

At the moment, even if he counted the time spent cultivating with EXP, it was at most equivalent to several years of cultivation. The difference between the two was probably too great.

Therefore, the only explanation was that according to the purple-dressed manager, what appeared in the Battlefield of Providence was only a projection. Its strength had decreased from the original.

Even thousand-year-old bosses like Granny Tree Demon and Old Demon Black Mountain wouldn’t be too abnormal.

Furthermore, it was very likely that there was a “hero” from his faction in this abandoned temple.

As long as they weren’t careless, it shouldn’t be dangerous for the two of them.

Therefore, Ji Ye was not afraid of the famous Lanruo Temple. He even said to Lu Zhishen, “Chief Lu, looks like we don’t need to sleep out in the wild tonight!”

“You may leave now, but stay nearby for the next few days. Don’t go too far from me!”

Knowing that the gray wolves behind him were probably afraid of the demonic aura in the temple, he got the “husky” to lead the wolves away from the entrance of Lanruo Temple. Ji Ye held the Black Serpent Sword and entered Lanruo Temple with Lu Zhishen.

[Entered Lanruo Temple and received the camp’s main mission: Kill the enemy Nether General, Black Mountain, of the opposing camp!]

The moment the two of them stepped through the collapsed temple door, a message appeared in their minds.

Oh, Nether General, Black Mountain!

Shouldn’t it be Old Demon Black Mountain?

Ji Ye was a little surprised.

Then, information regarding Black Mountain appeared in his mind.

Black Mountain was once a valiant general of the Southern Sun Kingdom. He was extremely skilled in martial arts and had once led three hundred guards to defeat five thousand armored warriors of the Western Desert!

Southern Sun?

Western Desert?

Without a doubt, this was definitely not the geographical names in A Chinese Ghost Story.

Yes, because he was a little excited after confirming the setting, Ji Ye momentarily forgot that this was a Battlefield of Providence formed by the fusion of two or more human civilizations’ providence. It was not a pure “A Chinese Ghost Story” world.

Therefore, the matters in this world would not completely adhere to the movie from Earth.

For example, what originally chased Ning Caichen into Lanruo Temple were three wolves who were stretching out tongues out, wagging their tails and barking. However, what they encountered just now were more than ten giant wolves that ordinary people could not defeat.

This was most likely a “trap” set up by the other party’s power of providence.

If it were a normal player, they might have been eliminated by the wolves the moment the battle began!

However, the other party’s power of providence had not expected him to have the Alpha Wolf’s Mark. Therefore, this wolf pack that had been specially enhanced ended up being a “generous gift” that came knocking on his door!

Of course, this was only Ji Ye’s unilateral guess. It was difficult to verify it at the moment.

However, Ji Ye estimated that this clash of the power of providence between the two parties had already been completed before the entire battlefield started.

It was unlikely that it would directly interfere with the competition between the two parties!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After the two of them walked past a partially collapsed temple wall, the first thing they saw was a figure practicing his swordplay under the moonlight!

Hum! Hum! Hum!

A hand covered in calluses formed from years of practicing martial arts held a sword that seemed to be made of brass. It was slightly wider than an ordinary sword.

However, when the figure waved his hand, his agility far exceeded that of ordinary swords!

This was because with the brandishing of the brass sword, the leaves in the clearing that was several feet long were lifted into the sky by the wind produced by the swordplay.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the figure moved at high speeds and kept brandishing the brass sword, the airborne leaves that numbered thousands did not return to the ground!

“What a brilliant sword technique!”

Lu Zhishen was shocked.

“It’s indeed brilliant. In order to achieve this, one cannot lack both strength and technique. However, as a Daoist priest, how can Yan Chixia have such an exquisite sword technique?”

Ji Ye nodded.

Needless to say, in Lanruo Temple, only this hero whose theoretical strength had reached the Extraordinary stage dared to practice his swordplay at night.

Yes, that does seem to be the case.

Recalling the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story, Ji Ye understood why Yan Chixia’s sword technique was so astonishing.

In A Chinese Ghost Story, Yan Chixia was definitely representative of being multi-talented.

He was once a ruthless judge whose name sent quakes through twenty-six provinces. Another feat was his Daoist technique that could defeat a thousand-year-old demon with one hand. Third, his sword arts had quite a background.

When Ning Caichen first came to Lanruo Temple, Yan Chixia had already defeated a swordsman who chased after him to compete for the title of the number one sword in the world for seven consecutive years. She even taught him the principles of swordsmanship.

In other words, he was very likely to be the “number one swordsman” in this world. Furthermore, he had occupied the number one throne for seven consecutive years.

I can totally consult Yan Chixia about sword techniques here. It’s definitely a better choice than Zhou Zhiruo!

Ji Ye had a thought.

Even though Yan Chixia’s strength level had decreased, his understanding of swordsmanship was definitely not much lower. It was obvious from the scene in front of him.

Furthermore, his swordsmanship took the path of fighting demons and ghosts. It was definitely very suitable for Ji Ye.

Besides, he had not only grasped the sword techniques of mortals.

Hum!

At this moment, Yan Chixia’s practice had come to an end. The brass sword in his hand suddenly left his hand and shot into the sky.

The leaves that filled the sky were stirred up. Under the moonlight, they looked like a dragon soaring in the sky. It even spun in midair.

“A flying sword art?”

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhishen’s expression froze as he blurted out.

As Wu Song’s arm was injured by Bao Daoyi’s Primordial Chaos flying sword, he naturally had a deep impression of Daoist flying sword arts.

“Who is it?”

At this moment, Yan Chixia, who was practicing his swordplay, suddenly jerked. The brass sword in the air flew back into his hand.

As the leaves fell from the sky, two sharp gazes landed on his face that also wore a beard like Lu Zhishen.
