The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 220: Leaving Mengyin City
Mo Lian walked even deeper into the south of the city, no more humans within a radius of several tens of miles from her, this was like saying all the Demon Cultivators in Mengyin City had already been killed entirely.
Along the road he went, which he had not explored a few days ago. Lots of skeletons lying on the streets, some even hanging on the pillars of the building. Blood spots were also clearly printed on the walls of the houses, which looked gripping.
Mo Lian was completely inexhaustible, Mengyin City that looked prosperous and beautiful, yet had a dark side like this. It was completely unexpected, and the city side also did not take action like reporting it to the kingdom.
"I don't know the geography here, how much land there is, whether the ocean here can be passed easily."
Mo Lian walked over while bowing her head, until she was not aware that she was already in front of the spacious residence. The residence is protected by a fence and in front of it is a twin gate made of wood, but hard as steel.
Mo Lian directed her hand forward, making the gate flung into the courtyard and a loud sound rang out as the gate was thrown.
What was visible behind the gate was a dirty courtyard with barren land, dry trees, dust flying to and fro. But even more terrifying, were the skeletons of human bones hung on the branches of trees.
"They have an interesting hobby. I will do the same while slaughtering their headquarters in Xingmai City, Xan Province, Cai Kingdom."
Mo Lian stepped her feet back into the building that looked capable of accommodating four hundred people inside. He kicked at the twin doors made of brown wood, made a loud bang and the door was thrown.
Thick brown smoke blocked the view as the wind blew away the dust in the room.
Mo Lian extended her hand forward, then pulled it, making the thick brown smoke in front of her draw out of the room. Although he did not possess mastery over the Wind Element, he could still control it even if not too much.
Many cracks in the walls and floors of the room, home furniture began to look weathered and began to be eaten by termites. Then he saw a hole in the floor that was about three meters in diameter, and a faint black aura burst out from it, with the smell of blood growing more and more stinging.
Without hesitation or lingering again, he jumped into a hole that felt very deep. He used the Light Element to create a light in his palm, and as he descended, he saw a torn cloth sticking to the wall of the hole as it was caught by the sharp rocks around.
Deep enough he descended, surrounding him two hundreds of meters from the ground surface. When he landed, he was already in a very spacious room with lighting made of simple lighting artifacts, which were attached to the walls and ceiling of the room.
Mo Lian saw countless blood spots and black aura faintly escaping from the cracks of the ground as well as the cracked walls. But there was one thing that was completely out of his mind, that was a three hundred meter diameter pond with a depth of two to three meters, which was filled with blood.
At the top of the pool were tens of thousands of women hanging upside down, with both her wrists and neck injured, dripping fresh blood.
Women here are not as good as it should be just adult women, there are even ten-year-old children and old women, although dominated by young girls under 15.
"It's good luck if it can absorb all the blood and aura of death. I did practice the Black Refining Cultivation Technique, which can absorb death aura. But I don't want to do it."
Mo Lian threw dozens of Talismans in various directions, dispelling all the gripping black aura. Not only that, it also removed the pool of blood by evaporating it into mist, which was then purified by the Purification Light Talisman.
"For humans ..." Mo Lian turned her head to look at the hanging woman. He flicked his hands, cut off all the ropes binding their ankles, and lowered them slowly using soul force.
Mo Lian placed them all on the ground surface, after installing an array formation around it so as not to be disturbed by small or decaying animals. He will let the city administrator find it, and return it to the family who lost it.
When he finished his business, he drowned in the ground, moving to a place that is quite important.

Meeting Hall, Yin Mayor's Residence, Mengyin City
Several large families including Mayor Yin gathered in one room to discuss about the recent incident, the incident that befell Mengyin City and Elder Jian who was a Demon Cultivator.
"Dad, I heard that the young man went with you. Do you know where he came from?" Mayor Yin turned her head to the left looking at Zhang Jianheeng.
Zhang Jianheeng placed the teacup on the wooden table to his right, then exhaled a long breath and replied, "I don't know where he came from, either, he said if he came from an abandoned star from a place that didn't deserve to be mentioned."
The white-haired old man who seemed to be still in good health, sat to the front right of Mayor Yin playing his long beard that reached to the chest. The old grandfather was the Chairman of the famous Alchemy Pavilion of the Mengyin City branch. The grandfather was wearing all-white clothes, with a green Jade Plate hanging on his left waist.
"If he was from an abandoned star, it shouldn't be easy to enter the Tianjin Star, and there's no way that much power would be possessed by an abandoned star." said the Chairman of the Alchemy Pavilion.
The chairman of the Alchemy Pavilion fell silent for a moment, thinking about whether to express his other opinions. "Then, I heard a legend, which said the Cultivator's strength was based on how much he drew lightning in the Lightning Tribulation. I suspect, that young man managed to pull out six purple lightning."
As previously explained, the Lightning Tribulation was divided into several levels. Lightning Blue, Purple, Red, Black, and Gold. Later forms of lightning also had a hand in future Cultivators, starting from Ordinary Lightning, Sword Lightning, Dragon Lightning, and Heavenly Lightning.
The dozens of people who were here were stunned upon hearing the explanation from the Chairman of the Alchemy Pavilion. However, if they found out how many lightning bolts Mo Lian had drawn, either reaction would be shown.
So far Mo Lian had managed to pull out the Blue Lightning with the form of a Dragon as many as nine strokes, the Golden Lightning Dragon ten strokes, and the Heavenly Golden Lightning.
"Did I interrupt your meeting?"
Mayor Yin, Zhang Jianheeng and the others stood up from their seats, and looked towards the exit. It could be seen Mo Lian was already there and leaning against the wall next to the red twin doors with golden lines all around.
"A-Mud—" Zhang Jiangheeng stopped his words, then cupped his hands towards the walking Mo Lian. "Greetings, Sir."
Mo Lian raised her brow next to astonishment, but did not care much about it. "I want to request a map of Tianjin Star, and Tang Empire in detail. Do you have it?"
Zhang Jianheeng looked up at Mo Lian. "We have it. But, if you'll know, what's the map for?"
Mo Lian let out a long sigh, not expecting anyone to ask a question that did not need to be asked and already knew the answer. "I want to go to Xingmai City, Xan Province."
"To ..." Zhang Jianheeng held back his lips and did not ask him any further. He flowed his spiritual energy into the Space Ring and took out two scrolls of paper.
With his soul force, Mo Lian took the two scrolls and opened them at a glance, then stored them behind a shirt.
"Thank you." Mo Lian turned around and walked towards the exit, but she stopped as she took a few steps. "In the south of the city, there is a large building inside which there is a hole of three meters in diameter. Two hundred meters away inside the ground, there was a room that housed forty-seven thousand female corpses ..."
"The corpses were used to increase Elder Jian's strength." Mo Lian walked back.
"Good bye." Mo Lian's body burned from the bottom up, and as the fire disappeared, it also disappeared.
"This ..." Zhang Jianheeng was inexhaustible with what he saw. "Te-teleportation technique? Wasn't it said that only the Immortal Dao could do it?"
The chairman of the Alchemy Pavilion also could not help his shock. He had only heard of it from the story, and had not really seen it in person, because in this Tianjin Star the strongest was only the Late-stage Golden Soul.
