Along the way, there were four of them again.
Wan He replaced Old Tang, and their journey was no longer as easy. Every morning when they woke up, what greeted them was not prepared food, but the light of Knife Intent.
The three of them shared the attack, and the speed of their journey slowed down significantly.
Wan He drove the empty carriage alone, following behind them at a leisurely pace.
When the sky darkened, the three of them stopped to rest. Sometimes they would eat some food, but most of the time they would cultivate directly.
Even though they suffered hardships, the progress of the three of them was very fast.
After a few days, Zi Chen noticed that Shan Ya was a little worried, and her mood was obviously not good.
"What's wrong?"
Zi Chen, who was enduring the Knife Intent, walked to Shan Ya.
"I think I saw someone in the city last time," Shan Ya said after a moment of hesitation.
"Who?"
Zi Chen was a little confused. Someone who could make Shan Ya emotional, could it be an acquaintance?
And an acquaintance of Shan Ya's was naturally a friend.
"It was the Ghost King."
Shan Ya said, "At that time, my eyes blurred, and I thought I saw him, but it quickly disappeared."
Lan Gu Meng turned around and said, "I think it was a blur."
Shan Ya nodded and said, "I think so too, but if it was a blur, why was it the Ghost King and not someone else?"
Zi Chen was lost in thought.
He had only seen the Ghost King once, but he had a deep impression of him. If Ou Li had not appeared in time, they would have been dead.
Shan Ya had a deep impression of the Ghost King. When she and Noah came to this world, they were hunted down by the Ghost King's people for a hundred years.
At that time, Zi Chen guessed that the Ghost King should be related to the young man, but the young man did not appear, which made Zi Chen more suspicious.
The young man could suppress his realm, but Zi Chen, who came to this world, could not suppress the realm of others. It was clear that even if the young man was from this world, he was different from everyone else.
Shan Ya's concern was correct. Whether it was an illusion or a real Ghost King, they could not afford to be careless.
Lan Gu Meng could not understand why Shan Ya was so worried about a Ghost King at the Human Soul Stage. Even Zi Chen was frowning at this moment.
"It could really be an illusion," Shan Ya said.
"Don't worry, we just have to be careful."
Wan He, who was driving the carriage, did not care about this matter. No matter what kind of enemy it was, as long as he had a saber in his hand, he was not afraid of anything.
In fact, he was even secretly hoping that the danger would be even more intense. After all, once he reached that place, endless dangers would await him.
In the pitch-black night, Zi Chen sat cross-legged as soul power from the world continuously converged towards him.
His physical body was absorbing soul power to grow, and the soul power in his body was also increasing. With Wan He's help, his progress was great.
Shan Ya and Lan Gu Meng were the same.
Wan He was sleeping, and his snores were deafening.
As the sky brightened, everyone got up and continued on their way. Of course, when Wan He woke up, he did not forget to give the three of them a stab as an appetizer.
The current Zi Chen could already fight against an Earth Soul Stage, but this Earth Soul Stage definitely did not include Wan He.
Even if the three of them worked together, they might not be able to block a full-powered attack from the other party, let alone him.
At noon, they arrived at a lake. There was a small boat on the lake, and an old man in a straw raincoat was fishing in the middle of the lake.
Wan He came to the lake and wiped his face. Then, he squatted there and looked at the old man in the middle of the lake.
Zi Chen's expression was somewhat guarded. It was not normal for an old man to be fishing in this wilderness.
Lan Gu Meng and Shan Ya stood on either side of Zi Chen and naturally felt that something was wrong.
The old man was motionless, like a pine tree in the forest. The small boat under him also seemed to be still.
Zi Chen had the intention to retreat.
Wan He was still squatting there, looking at the scene with interest.
After about fifteen minutes, the fish still did not take the bait.
Wan He had lost his patience. He got up, and a large rock appeared in his hand. Without waiting for Zi Chen's reminder, he threw it far away.
With a splash, the large rock fell into the lake, splashing water everywhere. It was like a downpour, hitting the old man's straw raincoat and falling into the small boat.
At this moment, the fishing line sank slightly, as if a bait had taken the bait. The old man skillfully drew an arc with the bamboo fishing rod, and a small golden fish landed on the small boat.
The old man's laughter rang out.
Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. Only now did he realize that the fishing line was not a real fishing line, but a silk line manifested from energy.
Similarly, the hook was also manifested from energy.
This combination of hardness and softness was ingenious. Even Zi Chen, who was in the Human Soul Stage, could not do this.
"I've been fishing for this Golden-scaled Fish for three months. I didn't expect to succeed today."
The old man stood up and turned his head to look at Zi Chen and the others, "If you don't mind, can you return to the villa to rest for a while? Let this old man do his best as a host, and consider it my thanks to you all."
Zi Chen did not expect Wan He to help the old man by a stroke of luck.
However, they were in a hurry, and the old man's strength was extraordinary. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wan He took the initiative to say, "Okay, we're also tired. Let's go to the old man's place and ask for a drink."
Zi Chen hesitated, but Wan He did not look back.
The old man's small boat moved forward. When it reached the lake, the boat shone and doubled in size.
Wan He jumped on and then looked back at Zi Chen.
Zi Chen was a little helpless, but he could only follow.
The boat went in the other direction of the lake, and no one needed to paddle.
Shan Ya's gaze was a little strange. Because they were all in the Human Soul Stage, they could fly. Why did they need to paddle?
The Golden Scaled Fish from before was currently swimming in the wooden barrel. Occasionally, when it surfaced from the water, a golden light would suddenly appear. It was very bright.
"It's said that this lake is connected to the bottom of the sea. Occasionally, Golden-scaled Fish will come here to rest, but it's hard to find."
The old man looked at the Golden-scaled Fish and said with a smile, "This fish comes from the deep sea. It's said that it lives in a place close to the core of the earth. It's born with the ability to use the rules, and is extremely extraordinary. For cultivators in the world, it's an amazing opportunity to break through. It can allow a Human Soul Stage cultivator to easily break through to the Earth Soul Stage."
Hearing the old man's explanation, Zi Chen's eyes had a hint of surprise, and he looked at the Golden-scaled Fish again.
The scales on its body seemed to be made of gold, and on its back, there was a dazzling golden line that seemed to flow with the light of the rules.
This thing can help people break through to the next realm?
And it was very easy?
At this moment, the three Human Soul Stage cultivators were all moved.
At this moment, the boat paddled to the end of the lake. A ripple appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the boat entered the ripple.
The few of them disappeared on the lake.
