Chapter 999: Chapter 999: Yi Ren Is Gone

Lin Kuang raced along the road, and after five more days, he finally saw the outline of Zhenlin City.

"After more than a month of travel, I’m finally back today."

As he looked at the increasingly clear sight of Zhenlin City ahead, Lin Kuang murmured to himself.

Thinking about it, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but think of Lan Ji, and his speed accelerated a bit more.

"Lan Ji, I’m here. Will you be surprised to see me?"

With these thoughts, Lin Kuang felt an urgent desire to see Lan Ji.

After all, in this unfamiliar world, the person Lin Kuang trusted the most was Lan Ji, while with others, Lin Kuang still kept some reservations.

After the time it took to brew tea, Lin Kuang arrived at the city gates of Zhenlin City, handed over the entry Profound Crystal, and stepped into Zhenlin City.

Seeing the familiar streets, Lin Kuang’s heart felt quite excited.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Kuang headed straight to Wanbao Tower to meet Zhou Ling, the manager.

Upon seeing Zhou Ling, Zhou Ling naturally recognized Lin Kuang.

As soon as he laid eyes on Lin Kuang, Zhou Ling’s gaze was filled with shock.

"Mr. Lin, why are you here? Do you dare to come to Zhenlin City?"

Looking at Lin Kuang in front of him, Zhou Ling asked with a hint of real concern.

"Uh, what’s wrong? Why can’t I come to Zhenlin City?"

Seeing Zhou Ling’s shocked expression, Lin Kuang asked somewhat puzzled.

"Uh, have you forgotten the matter of killing Jin Derli and Chang Feng?"

Looking at Lin Kuang, Zhou Ling spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang finally remembered. When he left Zhenlin City before, Chang Hu and Jin Zhan wanted to deal with him, and in the end, he killed them.

However, after dealing with the young ones came the old ones.

So Jin Derli and Chang Feng came after, and Lin Kuang, using the power of the Black Dragon, elevated his strength to the Contending Realm and killed them both as well.

This matter almost slipped from Lin Kuang’s mind, if Zhou Ling hadn’t reminded him, he would have truly forgotten.

"Yes, I remember now. So what if I killed them?"

Lin Kuang asked again.

"What do you mean ’so what’? My dear Mr. Lin, Jin Derli and Chang Feng were the Family Heads of the Jin Family and the Chang Family.

Though they’re dead, their families still have formidable members alive!

Like Chang Feng’s father and Jin Derli’s second uncle.

These two old guys have emerged, and they are claiming they will kill you, offering ten thousand Profound Crystals to anyone who can find you!

If they can kill you, they offer a million Profound Crystals.

If they capture you alive, they offer as much as five million Profound Crystals!

So, right now your head is extremely valuable, yet you dare to come to Zhenlin City now; aren’t you seeking death?!"

Looking at Lin Kuang, Zhou Ling exclaimed hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang froze slightly, truly unaware that his head was worth so much.

However, the Jin Family and the Chang Family have indeed put forth a substantial bounty; such a large amount of Profound Crystals could tempt even the Contending Realm experts.

"These two families really are courting death!

Manager Zhou, what is the skill level of Chang Feng’s father? And what about Jin Derli’s second uncle?"

Looking at Zhou Ling, Lin Kuang asked with a smile.

"Skill level? Rumor has it Chang Yushan’s skills have reached the late stages of the Contending Realm, if not the peak, then close to it.

Jin Murong’s skills are equally terrifying, similar in capability to Chang Yushan, with both possessing skills not far apart.

At the very least, both their skills are in the late stages of the Contending Realm, maybe even the peak!"

Looking at Lin Kuang, Zhou Ling spoke with extreme seriousness.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded, as it aligned with his expectations.

As long as he’s not facing a Demi-God level supreme expert, Lin Kuang is confident he can survive in their hands.

Facing a Demi-God level expert, however, Lin Kuang truly doesn’t have any certainty.

"Hmm, I understand.

Where is Lan Ji? I want to see him."

Looking at Zhou Ling, Lin Kuang asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling hesitated for a moment. Does Lin Kuang really not worry at all? Is his heart so carefree?

Zhou Ling thought in his heart, but he soon realized, Lin Kuang always wants to find the young lady; it seems he wants her help.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling couldn’t help but feel a bit contemptuous toward Lin Kuang; a grown man seeking refuge from a woman — isn’t that just disgraceful?

Yet Zhou Ling was aware of Lin Kuang and Lan Ji’s relationship, so despite his inner disdain, he didn’t voice it.

"I apologize, Mr. Lin. Miss left half a month ago; she returned to Central City and is not here now."

Zhou Ling spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang felt slightly disappointed; Lan Ji not being here was indeed a bit frustrating.

Thinking of this, Lin Kuang shook his head and said, "Alright, since Lan Ji isn’t here, I’ll take my leave."

Saying that, Lin Kuang left directly.

As Lin Kuang walked away, Zhou Ling’s expression changed slightly. Doesn’t this guy realize Chang Yushan and Jin Murong are looking for him? He just left? Wasn’t he looking for the young lady’s refuge?

Zhou Ling stood there wondering, unable to guess Lin Kuang’s intentions for a while.

Emerging from Wanbao Tower, Lin Kuang felt somewhat resigned.

Thinking for a moment, Lin Kuang went to the inn where he initially stayed upon arriving.

Requesting a courtyard, the attendant led Lin Kuang to the small courtyard at the inn’s rear.

Arriving at the courtyard, Lin Kuang moved in.

Seeing a guest arrive, the maid hurried forward to serve Lin Kuang.

Looking at the maid before him, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but think of Little Green, the girl who was his first encounter on the Xuanwu Continent.

Thinking of this, Lin Kuang asked the maid to prepare bathwater; he intended to take a bath first and then dine at the Mortal Fairyland, planning to enter the Demons Forest early the next day.

Upon hearing Lin Kuang’s request, the maid hurried off to prepare.

With the water ready, Lin Kuang walked into the bathroom, soaking himself in the wooden tub, closing his eyes in relaxation.

The maid intended to continue serving Lin Kuang, but he invited her to leave.

After bathing, Lin Kuang dressed again and stepped out of the inn, heading straight for the Mortal Fairyland.

However, as Lin Kuang exited the inn, an attendant suddenly caught sight of him.

Seeing Lin Kuang’s figure, the attendant paused slightly in surprise, then his eyes immediately filled with ecstatic joy!

"It’s him, it’s him! He’s that Lin Kuang; he’s come to Zhenlin City!"

The attendant shouted internally.

This attendant was the one who first received Lin Kuang at the inn, so he was quite familiar with Lin Kuang.

"Sure enough, it’s him. The Jin and Chang families have already announced that whoever provides information about him will receive ten thousand Profound Crystals!

That’s ten thousand Profound Crystals; if I claim them, I needn’t worry for life, why remain an attendant!"

Thinking this, the attendant sneakily followed.

This young fellow was clever, keeping himself distant enough from Lin Kuang to avoid detection.

After passing through several streets, the attendant saw Lin Kuang enter the Mortal Fairyland, and his eyes gleamed: "Lin Kuang, oh Lin Kuang, you can’t blame me for this; after all, it’s said people die for money and birds for food!"

Mumbling, the attendant discreetly left, sprinting toward the Chang Family to inform them.
