Chapter 397: Shenhua Island

The ship that departed from Whalefall City spent two days at sea and arrived at Shenhua Mountain. Or it could also be called Shenhua Island.

A long way away, someone stood at the bow of the ship, pointing at that high mountain in the sea and shouting, “Shenhua Mountain!!!” With his excited tone and hopeful eyes, it was as if the Shenhua Immortal Ning on Shenhua Mountain was beckoning to him.

Then there were people who couldn’t wait for the ship to dock and flew up, directly from the deck to Shenhua Mountain. And when one person flew up, it led to countless people to fly up, the deck was like a place where birds flocked together, one bird fluttered up, covering the sky and the sun, more than a hundred people all flew towards Shen Hua Mountain.

Qin Ran had already relied on the uniqueness of his aqueous body at this point, transforming into another body and face.

He stood on the deck and waited for a while, seeing that the first batch of people who flew onto the island did not suffer any attacks or encountered any dangers, before he executed his stance and mingled among the group of cultivators who were also cautious and flew towards the island.

Shenhua Mountain is really a mountain, not the kind of hillock that sprouts a skullcap in the sea water, but a mountain that rises thousands of meters above sea level and towers straight into the clouds.

The mountain’s girdle was also so large that, looking out from this end, one could see the tangent of the mountain spreading out between the sea and the sky. The hundred or so people who flew up from the ship and landed on the island were not the least bit visible. If one wanted to find these people, one would have to pay more attention to find them.

This ship was obviously not the first one to arrive at Shenhua Mountain; at the foot of the mountain and along the coast, a dozen or so large ships were already parked.

And not all the cultivators who came to Mount Shenhua to seek opportunities came by boat, there were many who flew over and swam.

So in addition to the hundred or so people traveling on this ship, there were already quite a few people on the island hill.

Qin Ran took a sweeping glance at the air cover and saw that there were people on the island, on the mountainside, and on the top of the mountain. He conservatively estimated that from the side he saw, there had to be over a thousand people.

The reputation of Shenhua Mountain, the inheritance of the Shenhua Old Devil, and the lure of the Divine Transformation Immortal Condensation were visible. Many people are, even if they can t break the seal themselves, they will still come …… in case someone breaks the seal. Maybe they can pick up a leak.

Qin Ran searched for a while before finding a remote and unoccupied location. After he landed, he cautiously checked around the neighborhood again before coming back and pulling out a bubble to wrap himself in it.

In his bubble, he took out a map from his Qiankun bag.

This map is the map that he passed from Tie Ruonan, on the ship, he was worried about the mark of the Yuan Shen or something like that, has been sealed, did not dare to look at it. Only then did he open it for the first time.

Although he had absolutely no idea what this map was for, it was a map that Tie Ruonan had brought with him even when he came to this Divine Flower Island. Then it was bound to have a great deal to do with Divine Flower Island.

So instead of studying the seal of Shenhua Island from scratch like a headless fly, then he would be better off to smooth Tie Ruonan’s map and follow it, and there might be something to be gained.

Qin Ran removed his Yuan Shen seal and checked the map some more to make sure there was no problem before opening it.

He opened his eyes and saw that it was an extremely simple map. Like a child’s doodle, line drawing in general, barely able to see that the waves he drew were water, the triangles drawn in the water were mountains, as for what the red dots dotted on the mountains were, no one knew.

It was a map that required a person to make a bold guess before they could guess that it depicted the Shenhua Mountain in front of them, and it required a bit of brain power to see that its destination was that red dot on the mountain.

But that’s as far as it goes.

To be honest, the painting is really a bit abstract.

Even if Qin Ran looked at this time compared to the Shenhua Mountain in front of him, he couldn’t tell what the hell was painted on this painting.

After frowning for a while, he could never see any mystery in this map.

“It originally said there was a starting anchor point, but it turned out I couldn’t read the map.”

Qin Ran smiled to himself and shook his head, sealing the map again and casually throwing it into his Qiankun bag.

It’s better to be honest and study the seal of Shenhua Mountain from scratch.

But he just put the map into the Qiankun bag, he suddenly reacted to one thing …… It s really not that he discriminated against Tie Ruonan, but, if this pair of maps he can t read it, then how did Tie Ruonan read it?

Unless the map is something else!

Unless this was a map that only Tieruo Nan could read exclusively!

Thinking of this, he suddenly sweated! If this map was a map that could only be read exclusively by Tie Ruonan, then there were bound to be markings on it that were exclusively Tie Ruonan’s, markings that only Tie Ruonan could discover.

He hurriedly cast Mirror Moon, and with a shake of his body, a figure jumped out of his body, burrowed straight out of the bubble, and plunged into the ground with a brain.

Qin Ran, the figure, on the other hand, touched the map and continued to pretend to study it in place.

Not long after the study, there is a knife light from the distance over, perhaps the power of the knife light is too overbearing, a knife cut open the bubble, along with the bubble inside the Qin Ran also split into two, no resistance.

The light of the knife split down, the rocky ground cracked a gap, and along with the light of the knife, a strong woman flew. She landed on the ground with a thud, carrying a sword in her hand, her tiger eyes like ice, staring at the Qin Ran on the ground, who had been split in half.

“How dare you lie even to your aunt?!”

She approached with her war knife and picked the two halves of Qin Ran’s corpse with the tip of the knife to confirm that it was dead. Only then did she pick up the map on the ground.

She sensed a little to confirm that it was her map, and then opened it, lifted her finger, and forced a drop of blood onto the map.

As this drop of her blood fell, the sketchy doodled map changed instantly, turning into a clear brush and ink landscape painting, with clear mountains and hills, and a blade of grass, a tree, a stone, and two birds all looked as if they were real.

And that landscape was not elsewhere, it was precisely the Shenhua Mountain in front of us. On this map, there was also a red dot, but this red dot was clear and distinct, labeled precisely as a certain platform alcove halfway up the mountain, which corresponded to the immediate Shenhua Mountain as well.

This was exactly her map, and the burly woman, Tie Ruonan, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. If this map had been lost from her hands, it wouldn’t be enough for her to die ten thousand times.

At that moment, a few cultivators flew in after her. She sensed it and promptly restored the map in her hand to its line-scrawled form, rolled it up, and held it in her hand.

Several people landed on the ground, and a man in red clothes like blood looked at the corpse on the ground, then squinted at Tie Ruonan and asked in a hoarse voice, “Is it him?”

Tie Ruonan returned, “That’s him, he has already been beheaded by me.”

Saying that, she swung her sword again, and the light of the sword was like a whirlwind, and the two halves of the corpse on the ground suddenly changed into countless halves.

She fulfilled her promise to break the painting thief into pieces.

“I hope it didn’t get leaked to you.” The man in red sneered.

“Don’t need you to care!” Tie Ruonan turned around, flew up, and headed for the mountains.

The man in red smiled sorrowfully and without another word, he spread his body and flew away along with several people following Tie Ruo Nan.

When Tie Ruo Nan and the others flew far away, the broken pieces of the corpse on the ground slowly turned into water, which flowed in all directions, soaking the ground.

It wasn’t long before there was nothing but wet ground.

And slowly a figure emerged from the wet, wet ground.

He looked up at Tie Ruonan s far away direction and laughed softly, “Throw a stone …… and ask for directions.”

He closed his eyes, and his genjutsu was crystal clear.

At nightfall, somewhere halfway up Mount Shenhua. There were flowers, plants and trees here, as well as birds and beasts chirping, and it didn’t look any different from the rest of the place. When the wind blew, the flowers, plants and trees would flutter with it, and the insects and birds would stop for a while.

Tie Ruonan brought a few people with the man in red flying from a distance and landed under an ancient pine. After they landed, they continued to walk forward, but as they walked, their figures disappeared into the empty space in front of them. It was as if they had gone into a different dimension, or as if their figures had disappeared and faded.

“The Yuan Shen imprint is gone?” Qin Ran frowned and increased his speed to approach the place where Tie Ruonan had disappeared.

He crouched in the fork of a large tree and looked away from the clearing.

“Discovered?” He thought, “Impossible, how could Tie Ruonan show that map to others? Those people don’t have a God Alchemist either.”

“Formation?” He looked at the clearing and vaguely sensed the aura of formation runes, “Trapping formation? Illusion formation? Killing formation? Or simply a concealment formation?”

He couldn’t check what kind of formation that formation was because it was too far away.

“Wait, wait ……,” Qin Ran rubbed his brow and rationalized his thoughts a little more, “The Dragon Whale Island’s Island Master has a map, and the direction the map points to is a place on Shen Hua Mountain, a place that has been purposely set up with formations to cover it up. ”

“So what could be inside this formation?”

For an island lord to set up a formation in this place from such a distance, it was definitely not for leisure and entertainment.

What’s that for? It’s easy to think of.

What’s in Shenhua Mountain? The legacy of Old Devil Shenhua, the Divine Transformation Immortal Condensation.

“Ah!” Thinking of this, Qin Ran couldn’t help but slap his head, “I’m so damn stupid! I single-handedly knew that Old Devil Shen Hua’s seal would be difficult to open, and that gathering all seven Immortal Pill conditions would simply be a pie in the sky, but I surprisingly didn’t think deeply enough about how great the temptation of what’s in here would be for a cultivator.

“I can’t believe I forgot that when the temptation is great enough, oppressors will do anything.”

Would these islanders let this mountain of treasure sit here, able to be seen but not used?

Apparently not!

Unable to collect all seven elixirs?

OK, then we won’t set, there are more than 3,600 ways to do it. There is always one that can break the seal of your Shenhua Mountain!

“This is clearly the Dragon Whale Island Islander’s arrangement against Shen Hua Mountain in here.” He reacted, “If the Dragon Whale Island Lord can make an arrangement, the other forces in the Heavenly Lan Sea Region can definitely do the same. In fact, all the forces haven’t given up on Old Devil Shenhua’s legacy.”

When he thought of this, he couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air… Wouldn’t he be stepping into the gladiatorial arena of these great powers again?

And this time, he had a feeling that the one who caused the Shen Hua Mountain incident this time was none other than him. He was the butterfly that flapped its wings.

He was interested in seeking Shen Hua Xian Ning and had to find Mr. Zhai to ask for information, so he was aware that Mr. Zhai, that old cunt, would be behind the scene to cause havoc. But now it seems that as soon as Mr. Zhai there made a move, the Dragon Whale Island Islander noticed the abnormality, and immediately pushed the boat with the water and pushed the fermentation of this event, and then the other islands …… and other forces followed and stirred up the situation.

So it triggered this Shenhua Mountain incident.

“There’s one more thing ……,” Qin Ran mused, “They’ve been seeking the inheritance of the Shenhua Old Devil, and have always had an arrangement at Shenhua Mountain. But! Why did they allow so many people to come to Divine Flower Mountain? This obviously has an impact on their arrangement. Unless ……”

He thought of a possibility, “Some of them have an arrangement that requires these casual cultivators. But what can the loose cultivators do? What can the loose cultivators do to help?”

And it was at this time, in the woods over there, Tie Ruonan walked out of thin air from the clearing with her battle sword again. She had bloodshot eyes and a murderous aura. Behind her, there were a dozen more pitch-black, similarly sword-carrying, similarly murderous cultivators.

Qin Ran’s heart fluttered. He looked up as it was about to get dark.

He suddenly remembered a piece of news that he had subconsciously ignored, and that was that every Shen Hua Mountain incident would be accompanied by killings and many people would die. He had thought that there was a crisis in the Inheritance Land, that there were cultivators gathering, cultivators grabbing treasures, and that it was normal for people to die.

But now it seems ……

There was nothing normal in it. At least Shenhua Mountain didn’t have any crises in the land of inheritance.
