Chapter 243: Trap of Fog

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Lin Yan, what’s wrong?”

Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue sensed Lin Yan’s abnormality. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was pale, as if a huge fear had seized his mind.

It was very strange.

Lin Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue.

He didn’t know about the others in the prefecture, but Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue didn’t deliberately change the topic. Instead, they introduced enough information about the Chaotic Fog to him.

He must have guessed wrongly. How could the entire prefecture capital…

What happened to their minds?

Lin Yan forced this terrifying guess out of his mind and paid attention to the urgent matter at hand.

“Issuer Liu, has anyone accidentally fallen into the Chaotic Fog?”

Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue looked at each other and said in a subtle voice, “Just like an unfathomable tide that will hit the fish on the beach…

“The Chaotic Fog can also move, although for unknown reasons, humans have prevented the Chaotic Fog from expanding unlimitedly.

“However, it’s impossible to predict or stop a small-scale change.

“Therefore, there are naturally many humans who have fallen into the Chaotic Fog.”

Lin Yan recalled. “I remember Issuer Liu saying that the demons suppressed by the Demon Suppression Division are human demons, beast demons, and other demons. Then, you must have a way to enter the Chaotic Fog and leave, right?”

Liu Lanqing shook her head and laughed. “You think too highly of us. The demons we deal with are just fish that accidentally slipped through the net into the human world in the surging tide of the Chaotic Fog. As long as we kill them, we can resolve the crisis.

“We never deal with them deep in the Chaotic Fog.”

“Then, are there any survivors who accidentally entered the Chaotic Fog and returned?”

“They are extremely rare. But…”

Liu Lanqing’s expression became even more subtle. “There are two in front of you.”

“You… both entered the Chaotic Fog and escaped in the end? Could it be that… you fell into the fog together!!”

Lin Yan’s eyes lit up.

“You’re very smart.”

Liu Lanqing revealed a hint of cold memories. “It was precisely at that time that we saw true strength. Even though I’ve already reached the Noble Realm and have the best Jade Grade strength, I still know that in front of such an existence, I’ll always be a small ant…”

Ling Shuangxue’s face was also sad, but there was something different in the way she looked at Liu Lanqing.

Clearly, in the Chaotic Fog, the two of them had some stories that outsiders did not know.

“Issuer Liu, how did you escape the Chaotic Fog? What do you need to leave the Chaotic Fog?!”

Liu Lanqing was really puzzled by Lin Yan’s obsession with the Chaotic Fog, but she still replied, “If you want to leave the Chaotic Fog, you only need one thing…”

She blinked. “Luck!

Luck?

What kind of answer was that?

Ling Shuangxue said indifferently, “Luck means that we have no idea how we left the Chaotic Fog.

“We walked in one direction and dodged the terrifying monsters and disasters that could’ve killed us. In the end, we came out of the Chaotic Fog in a daze.”

Luck, luck…

Lin Yan smiled bitterly. He really didn’t have luck.

He was in Qinghong Martial Arts School, and Qinghong Martial Arts School was destroyed.

He was in Dragon Gate Pavilion, which was surrounded by people.

He was in the underground waterway of the insect hunting camp and it was about to fall into the Chaotic Fog!

He suspected that his luck had been used up the moment he transmigrated and obtained the golden finger.

“Therefore, the Chaotic Fog itself won’t kill people. The true terrors are the terrifying and powerful monsters hidden in the Chaotic Fog?”

Lin Yan didn’t give up and asked, “What else? If we fall into the Chaotic Fog now, I’m talking about what if. How can we save ourselves and escape?”

Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue both found Lin Yan’s question ridiculous. Liu Lanqing even joked, “If we fall into the Chaotic Fog now… I’m afraid not a single person will survive. All of us will die!”

She originally wanted to joke, but Lin Yan’s expression instantly froze. She naturally couldn’t smile at all. Her expression was solemn as she asked, “Lin Yan, what do you want to say after asking so many questions about the Chaotic Fog?”

Lin Yan didn’t say a word and retreated step by step.

Lin Yan?”

Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue didn’t follow because Lin Yan’s body was tense and he emitted an intimidating aura. It was obvious that he was on guard.

After Lin Yan retreated to a distance that he felt was relatively safe, he apologized to the two of them. “I’m sorry. I’m only confident of escaping at this distance…

“Issuer Liu, what I’m about to say will be very strange and difficult to believe.

“But I promise you that what I’m saying is the truth.

“If you don’t believe me, you have to personally verify it. You can probably see the same thing I see.

“If you’re still you…”

Liu Lanqing was completely confused. “What do you mean by ‘you are still you’?”

Lin Yan shook his head and succinctly explained the strange things he had encountered the last time he went to the ground, as well as the Chaotic Fog approaching step by step.

Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue’s expressions changed drastically. Amidst their shock, there was also a hint of suspicion.

Ling Shuangxue’s eyes were cold. “Impossible. Why would the Chaotic Fog suddenly surround this camp?

“According to the current theories of the academic world, the Chaotic Fog will indeed undergo some changes because of human actions…

“However, there are two decisive points. One is quantity, and the other is strength.

“Our Dingdeng Genius Battle this time is far from meeting the standards.

“There have been more than a hundred similar operations in the past ten years.

“It doesn’t make sense for the Chaotic Fog to change this time…”

As a member of the Qianyuan Academy, Ling Shuangxue understood the changes in the Chaotic Fog better than Liu Lanqing did.

Ever since 70 to 80 years ago, because a large number of humans had gathered in Qingye City, the entire city had been surrounded by the Chaotic Fog. After its riot affected almost the entire Qian Continent, the circulation of people between the various cities in the Qian Continent began to become secretive.

The point of view of the academic world was that the reason for the Chaotic Fog riot was because on the one hand, there were too many humans, nearly a thousand of them. On the other hand, it was also a coincidence that they happened to encounter the periodic riot of the Chaotic Fog.

This led to a huge loss and tragedy.

In the past decade or so, this viewpoint had gradually been accepted by people. Their attitudes had already changed. All kinds of small-scale operations had begun, connecting a few cities and prefecture capital.

It didn’t make sense that nothing had happened for decades, except this time.

Moreover…

Liu Lanqing’s expression was solemn. “Old White is at the fourth-stage Noble Realm. In terms of quality, it’s equivalent to the Jade Grade Noble Realm. His strength is inferior to ours, but it’s impossible for him to be hit so easily…”

Lin Yan shook his head. “I’m just stating what I saw. I can only ask Issuer Liu to determine if it’s true or not.”

Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue didn’t seem to have been hit, but it was only on the surface.

Since that strange power could distort their minds, it could naturally make them appear normal.

“That’s all I have to say… In the end, Issuer Liu, the people in the camp might have their minds distorted. So, don’t trust them, don’t trust anyone…”

After saying this, Lin Yan was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind.

Don’t trust them, don’t trust anyone…

These two sentences were too familiar to him!

He had heard it more than once from Guo Fan, Zhang Yangzhou…

Before they died, they had said something similar!

Moreover, they even mentioned the Spirit Marrow…

It was like an invisible thread that instantly connected all the clues.

Lin Yan suddenly turned around and stared at Liu Lanqing. “Issuer Liu, did

Venerable Issuer Bai… bury the Spirit Marrow in his body?!”

Liu Lanqing’s eyes widened slightly. “You’re saying that this is related to the Spirit Marrow?!”

Her expression became even more solemn. “Old White is at the fourth level of the Noble Realm. This Noble Realm strength evaluation system is different from the Yellow, Black, and Jade Grade. It’s differentiated by the grade of the Spirit Marrow buried in the body!

“Those that use second-grade Spirit Marrow are called the second-stage Noble Realm, corresponding to the Yellow Grade Noble Realm.

“Those who use the third-grade are called the third-grade Noble Realm, corresponding to the Black Grade.

ii

‘As for Old White, he has used a fourth-grade Spirit Marrow. He’s at the fourth-grade Noble Realm, equivalent to Jade Grade.”

Sure enough, Bai Ling had used the Spirit Marrow.

Yu Qian and Tao Chen had also used the Spirit Marrow. Even Jiao Liang, who was originally at the Tough Realm, had buried the Spirit Marrow in his body with the mentality that it would be a waste not to use it!

Spirit Marrow…

It contained external spiritual matter, and spiritual matter was something that represented the essence of living beings.

When he had given the Corpse Buddha Cockroach’s Spirit Marrow to Xiaozhi, she had also said that she had seen the appearance of the Corpse Buddha Cockroach as a worm.

Even when he used the Golden Bodhi Scripture to absorb the high-grade Spirit Marrow, illusions would appear…

So, the spiritual substance contained in the Spirit Marrow affected Bai Ling and the others?

This was why Zhang Yangzhou was afraid that there was Spirit Marrow in his body. And before Guo Fan died, he told him not to use it?!

The factions or organizations behind them must have long discovered this strange mental distortion power!

Although there was no evidence, Lin Yan felt that he had probably found the problem…

“Issuer Liu, Teacher Ling, have you used the Spirit Marrow?”

Lin Yan’s eyes burned as he looked at Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue.

“We’ve never used it before…”

The two of them looked at each other and saw the horror and disbelief in each other’s eyes.

Although they had never used the Spirit Marrow, they knew very well…

How many people in the entire prefecture capital had used the Spirit Marrow before?!

If the Spirit Marrow really had the strange influence that distorted one’s mind, then the entire prefecture capital…

Wouldn’t that mean that they wouldn’t be spared?

Liu Lanqing shook her head slowly. “I can’t be sure that it’s related to the Spirit

Marrow…”

Lin Yan only nodded in agreement. “In that case, Issuer Liu, 1’11 take my leave first.”

“Lin Yan, if the Chaotic Fog really attacks, where are you going?”

Lin Yan paused for a moment, but he still didn’t completely trust Liu Lanqing. However, Liu Lanqing had been taking care of him for a long time, so he still said, “Issuer Liu, if there’s no way from above, you might be able to try the water. There might be a way out hidden in this lake…”

However, he did not further explain. After all, he did not know what was in the lake.

After saying that, he ran towards the lake without looking back..
