Chapter 1334: Peak of the Cloud Sea, First Encounter with the Fire Sparrow Clan

"Master, the closest Cultivation Planet belonging to a Fallen Life Society Elder is the main planet of the Dragon Scale Clan's Ninth Elder. There are many Cultivators there, and it is quite chaotic," the old man of the Dark Scorpion Clan said softly, leading the way.

Wang Lin rarely spoke along the way. The two transformed into long rainbows, left the Dark Scorpion Clan's Cultivation Planet, and sped through the starry sky.

As Wang Lin traveled, his mind was constantly filled with the scenes involving the Puppet from before. He felt faint stirrings of thought, but they were always obscured by a layer of mist, preventing him from seeing clearly.

"Although the Dragon Scale Clan is a minor clan, it has thousands of members. Furthermore, the Clan Chief of the Dragon Scale Clan, who is also the Ninth Elder, has a cultivation reaching the Fourth Heavenly Decay. After he uses his Clan Seal Dragon Scale Divine Ability, ordinary Cultivators simply cannot break through his defenses. Within the Fallen Life Society, this Dragon Scale Clan Elder is also very famous. Clans like my Dark Scorpion Clan dare not show any disrespect or provoke them."

The old man of the Dark Scorpion Clan introduced everything softly, explaining in detail everything he knew about the Dragon Scale Clan to Wang Lin.

"Is the Blazing Fire Crystal sold on the Dragon Scale Clan's main planet?" Wang Lin finally asked slowly.

"Yes, but the Fire Sparrow Clan collects this item aggressively. Whenever it appears, they buy it regardless of the cost, making it difficult for others to compete with them. Furthermore, to buy this item or Puppets, one must go to the Market City established by the Dragon Scale Clan," the old man of the Dark Scorpion Clan quickly replied.

Both of their cultivations were formidable, and once they unleashed their speed, they crossed the starry sky in just a few hours, leaving the Dark Scorpion Clan's Cultivation Planet far behind. Now, at the limit of Wang Lin's sight, was a cyan Cultivation Planet.

The planet was suffused with cyan light, radiating vigorous vitality and surrounded by dense Spiritual Power, far surpassing that of the Dark Scorpion Clan.

As soon as the two approached, three streaks of long rainbow Sword Light immediately flew out from the cyan Cultivation Planet, arriving instantly. Within the three streaks of Sword Light, the leader was an old man dressed in Cyan Robes, who smiled and cupped his fists from afar, saying, "The Elder calculated that the Dark Scorpion Clan Chief would arrive soon, so he instructed us three to wait here. Please, Clan Chief of the Scorpion Clan, follow us inside."

The two men behind the old man also cupped their fists, their words extremely polite.

After all, the Dark Scorpion Clan was one of the 372 clans. Although they were not Fallen Life Society Elders, they were definitely not people ordinary clansmen could slight. The old man of the Dark Scorpion Clan smiled and nodded, cupped his fists in return, and then let Wang Lin go first. He followed behind, flying toward the Cultivation Planet guided by the three members of the Dragon Scale Clan.

Seeing the actions of the Scorpion Clan Chief, the three members of the Dragon Scale Clan were immediately surprised. The leading old man, in particular, had his gaze flash, carefully scrutinizing Wang Lin a few times. Although he couldn't discern anything suspicious, he made a mental note.

"To be treated so politely by the Scorpion Clan Chief, this person must not be underestimated…"

The group transformed into several long rainbows, gradually nearing the Cultivation Planet. Just as they were about to enter the fierce wind Layer, Wang Lin's heart suddenly stirred. As he proceeded, he casually turned his head and glanced at the starry sky behind them.

In the starry sky, amid a distortion of ripples, a middle-aged man walked out at some unknown point.

The middle-aged man looked at Wang Lin and displayed a sinister smile.

Wang Lin's expression was calm, as if he hadn't noticed. He turned his head and followed the group, stepping into the fierce wind Layer and disappearing from view.

The fierce wind was violent, roaring past him and whipping up a pervasive gale. Wang Lin's heart was gloomy at this moment. The middle-aged man had looked at him first, triggering Wang Lin's vigilance, which was why he had turned his head to look back.

That glance immediately darkened Wang Lin's mood. He had vaguely seen the man's appearance before—it was one of the three Great Experts he had glimpsed chasing Tuo Sen when he first entered the Primordial Stars!

Seeing the man again here in the Land of Falling, Wang Lin immediately concluded that this person was definitely not a native of the Land of Falling, but someone from the Primordial Stars!

With the man being a Great Expert of the Third Step entering this place at this time, Wang Lin understood his purpose clearly, without needing to guess!

"He must have come here to kill me… But he shouldn't be his True Body; otherwise, he wouldn't only display the aura of the fifth heavenly decay… Of course, he might also be concealing his cultivation… Moreover, this person is extremely wary of the Land of Falling. If not, he would have acted just now… The Venerable Association pursues quickly… the fifth heavenly decay, is it?" Battle Intent flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. With a cold laugh, he followed the group through the fierce wind Layer and entered the Cultivation Planet.

Outside the Dragon Scale Clan's Cultivation Planet, in the starry sky, Si Mozi retracted his gaze, the smile on his lips unwavering. He hadn't expected to see the person he sought immediately upon arriving at the Land of Falling. The target's appearance and aura had long been calculated by Great Master Yun Luo and transmitted to him. With one look, he recognized the target's identity.

"It's a pity that making a move here would cause trouble. If I were to draw out the Fallen Great Emperor, things would become even worse… But since this person is on the Cultivation Planet, he absolutely cannot escape! I just need to find a suitable excuse to capture him!"

Si Mozi smiled, his gaze flashing as he looked into the distance. He saw a figure whistling over from afar, accompanied by loud laughter. It was a white-haired old man, dressed in Blue Robes, who flashed out from within the Dragon Scale Clan's Cultivation Planet.

"Senior Si Mozi, long time no see! Your bearing is as magnificent as ever!" The old man's laughter was booming. As he walked, heaven and earth origin energy swirled around his body, revealing the aura of the Fourth Heavenly Decay.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, it has been hundreds of years since we parted. Today, this old man has come to bother you again," Si Mozi laughed heartily, cupping his fists.

"Senior's visit is no bother at all! We have known each other for a long time. If Senior Si Mozi hadn't given me guidance back then, this old man would probably have died during the Third Decay long ago. Senior Si Mozi, please, come to my Immortal Cave!" The old man cupped his fists and laughed. As the Ninth Elder of the Fallen Life Society, he usually ignored worldly affairs and was in secluded meditation, but he immediately rushed over after receiving Si Mozi's Divine Thought transmission.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked toward the Cultivation Planet, their figures gradually disappearing.

After Wang Lin and the Dark Scorpion Clan Chief entered the Cultivation Planet, the three Dragon Scale Clan guides respectfully cupped their fists and withdrew. After they left, the old man of the Dark Scorpion Clan hurriedly led Wang Lin straight toward a Great City in the eastern part of the Cultivation Planet.

"Master, if you want to buy Puppets or Blazing Fire Strange Crystals, you must go to this Eastern Market City. There is a direct shop belonging to the Dragon Scale Clan there. Whenever I come here, unless it's for a large auction, I always go there," the old man of the Dark Scorpion Clan said softly as they walked.

Wang Lin nodded slightly, but Murderous Intent gradually filled his heart. His original plan for coming here was to acquire some high-grade Puppets for further research, and to buy some Blazing Fire Strange Crystals if he encountered them.

This item had a promotional effect on his Vermilion Bird Fourth Transformation. If absorbed in large quantities, it would greatly benefit him. Furthermore, this Blazing Fire Strange Crystal was related to his acquisition of the Fire Sparrow Clan's Origin.

But after seeing Si Mozi, Wang Lin changed his mind. Since the opponent had pursued him here, escape was clearly difficult, and Wang Lin had no intention of fleeing anyway. He wanted to fight the opponent right here!

"The person chasing me didn't act just now because of certain scruples. Since he came here, he must be preparing to find a reason that satisfies both sides to kill me… Since he has scruples, that's for the best… And the fact that he shows the cultivation of the fifth heavenly decay clearly indicates he is unwilling to reveal the power of the Third Step, or perhaps this person really is just a Clone who came here… If it truly is a Clone chasing me, I will make sure his Clone is destroyed, as a warning! However, I still need to prepare more before the battle. After all, the power of the fifth heavenly decay cultivation is definitely not simple. Although my Origin of Thunder is at Major Achievement, I must still be cautious!"

Wang Lin's expression was cold. After confirming the direction they were heading, he grabbed the old man of the Dark Scorpion Clan beside him. With a flash, their speed rapidly increased, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived above the Eastern City, transforming into two long rainbows speeding downwards.

"Lead the way quickly!" Wang Lin said in a deep voice after putting the old man down.

The old man of the Dark Scorpion Clan sensed the pervasive Killing Aura emanating from Wang Lin. His heart trembled, and he immediately guided Wang Lin through the city. Before long, they arrived in front of a towering Pavilion.

The Pavilion looked extremely ancient and simple. As soon as the two entered, a person immediately walked out from inside. This person was a woman, seemingly around thirty years old, still charming and graceful. As soon as she appeared, a fragrant breeze wafted over them.

"Oh, isn't this the Scorpion Clan Chief? Didn't you just visit a few months ago? Could it be that you heard this humble one recently acquired new treasures and rushed over?" The woman's voice was soft and seductive as she spoke with a light laugh.

Her gaze swept over them, pausing briefly on Wang Lin. A flicker of imperceptible surprise flashed in her eyes.

The old man of the Dark Scorpion Clan laughed heartily and cupped his fists, saying, "Today, this old man is merely accompanying this Fellow Daoist here."

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, carefully looking at Wang Lin a few times. She curtsied and said, "Fellow Daoist, please come upstairs so we can talk. If you have any specific needs, please state them."

Wang Lin's expression was calm. He cupped his fists slightly and followed the woman upstairs to the second floor. The second floor was small, furnished with a few exquisite chairs. Wang Lin sat down and looked toward the woman.

The old man of the Dark Scorpion Clan stood behind Wang Lin and did not sit down.

Seeing this scene, the woman's eyes once again revealed a deeply hidden look of surprise. She lowered her head and whispered, "May I ask what Fellow Daoist requires."

"Blazing Fire Strange Crystal!" Wang Lin said slowly, but his gaze shifted from the woman to the entrance of the second floor, a Sharp Light flashing in his eyes.

"This old man also wants Blazing Fire Strange Crystal!" The moment Wang Lin's words fell, a cold voice immediately came from the entrance of the second floor, and then a person walked up from there.

This person was dressed in Fiery Red Robes, with a mess of white hair. However, his body seemed to contain a Sea of Fire, and as he approached, the Pavilion immediately became permeated with high temperatures.

Especially the stairs where his feet trod clearly left behind Flame Footprints, yet the fire did not damage the stairs, appearing to burn out of thin air before gradually dissipating.

On this person's brow, there was distinctly a Flame mark! This flame was lifelike, as if it were truly burning! He reached the second floor, and his gaze instantly met Wang Lin's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, it would be best to yield the Blazing Fire Strange Crystal to this old man."

Wang Lin smiled.

My thoughts haven't been smooth recently, and the plot has reached a critical turning point that requires careful writing. I haven't been able to release a burst of chapters, but Er Gen is very serious about the writing, and I hope everyone doesn't mind. There aren't many monthly votes, so I ask those who can offer help in times of need to please do so. Er Gen thanks you.
