The Third Map

At the summit of the mountain, Lin Langtian and Ying Xiaoxiao talked for a while before bidding each other farewell and returning to their respective journeys.

As disciples of the Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect, the two were originally irreconcilable enemies, but due to a twist of fate, they developed an unexpected entanglement.

However, both Lin Langtian and Ying Xiaoxiao knew that given the hostile situation between the Yuan Sect and Dao Sect, they had no choice but to keep their distance, at least on the surface.

Before leaving, Ying Xiaoxiao Lin Langtian with complicated eyes, then pursed her red lips and said.

"Lin Langtian, you saved my life. No matter what, I owe you my life. If I have the chance in the future, I Ying Xiaoxiao definitely repay you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ying Xiaoxiao flicked her jade finger, and a Green Longsword landed at her feet. Before leaving, Ying Xiaoxiao gave Lin Langtian a deep look, then stepped on the cyan sword and rode away.

Watching Ying Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao's departing figure, Lin Langtian rubbed his chin, then shook his head with a wry smile.

What he really wanted to say was, "What does the conflict between the Yuan Sect and Dao Sect have to do with me?"

Lin Langtian even wished for the destruction of the Yuan Sect, after all, this malignant tumor that colluded with the Evil Demon was simply the common enemy of all living beings in the Great Thousand World.

However, Lin Langtian obviously couldn't Ying Xiaoxiao yet. After all, in people's eyes nowadays, a sect is like a family, and betraying a sect is simply an act of treason.

After a moment of silence, once Ying Xiaoxiao had completely disappeared from sight, Lin Langtian's shoulders trembled slightly, and the Crimson Sparrow Bone Wings appeared behind him. With a gentle flap, he flew off towards Black Rock City.

He urgently needs a map to the Yuan Sect so he can leave the Blood Horn Region.

High in the sky, a crimson streak of light, like chasing stars and the moon, streaked across the horizon and flew toward the enormous city standing on the plain.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. When Lin Langtian was still a few hundred meters away from the city, his flying speed gradually slowed down. His body trembled slightly, and he retracted the Crimson Sparrow Bone Wings on his back.

With a somersault in mid-air, Lin Langtian landed firmly on the ground, lightly patted the dust off his clothes, and then headed towards the massive city built of black rocks.

As we approached the city, the number of passersby increased, and most of them exuded a fierce aura, looking like they were not to be trifled with.

After a moment, Lin Langtian stopped and looked up at the black city whose exact size could now be seen.

Above the city gate, three large, pale red characters were carved into the city wall, giving off a faint sense of bloodshed from a distance.

"Black Rock City..." Lin Langtian murmured, smiled, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

At the city gate, there was a team of elite guards. To avoid trouble, Lin Langtian wisely paid the entrance fee and then entered the city.

As Lin Langtian slowly walked out of the somewhat dimly lit city wall passage, his eyes lit up slightly. The unique urban architectural complex of the Blood Horn Region came into view. The strangely shaped buildings were quite an eye-opener for Lin Langtian.

To Lin Langtian's surprise, the order in the city was not much better. Fights and brawls occurred from time to time in the streets, and the people around seemed to take it all for granted.

"Let's go buy the most accurate map first. There should be shops that specialize in selling maps in this city." Lin Langtian lost interest in the fighting around him after watching for a while, and then pondered.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian no longer hesitated, and casually pulled over a passerby to ask about shops selling maps of the Eastern Xuan Region.

The passerby who was stopped by Lin Langtian initially looked slightly impatient, but when Lin Langtian handed him a Universe Bag filled with tens of thousands of coins, his impatience quickly disappeared, and he politely pointed out the location of the shop to Lin Langtian.

After thanking the passerby, Lin Langtian quickly turned the corner and headed towards the best Map Shop in Black Rock City that the passerby had mentioned.

After walking at a leisurely pace for a while, the Map Shop called ' Xuan Region Map ' came into Lin Langtian's sight.

Lin Langtian glanced around the shop and raised an eyebrow slightly. Unlike other shops that were luxurious and ostentatious, this shop actually had a hint of antiquity about it.

With a touch of curiosity in his heart, Lin Langtian slowly walked into the shop.

The shop wasn't very spacious, but it was quite bright. As Lin Langtian scanned the interior, he noticed that there weren't many people buying maps. The quiet and deserted atmosphere made him wonder if he had gone to the wrong place.

As Lin Langtian slowly walked into the shop, his gaze swept around and finally settled on an old man behind the counter who was carefully making a map.

The old man was clearly quite old, but although his hair was completely white, his withered hands holding the drawing pen were still steady and strong.

Without disturbing the old man, Lin Langtian's gaze swept over the large number of maps on the counter. He picked one up with great interest and examined it over and over. The clear routes on the map made him nod in satisfaction.

After studying the map for a while, Lin Langtian noticed that the old man showed no signs of stopping. He pursed his lips and slowly walked to a quaint wooden shelf in the corner of the shop.

This wooden frame is clearly old and dilapidated, covered with holes from decayed wood. On it, some yellowed maps are piled up haphazardly. Judging from the tattered marks on the surface of these maps, they seem to be failed products from the time they were made.

Lin Langtian casually flipped through the yellowed maps, a faint musty smell wafting out. He frowned slightly, picked up a stack of failed works, and his hand trembled slightly.

But just then, a tattered picture, no bigger than a palm, suddenly fell out from the stack of failed works.

Not paying much attention to the fallen, tattered picture, Lin Langtian glanced at the failed work in his hand and then put it back out of boredom.

However, as he put the maps back, his gaze inadvertently drifted to the small, tattered image. His eyes blinked slightly... and then, his moving hand suddenly froze.

"This is..."

Lin Langtian carefully picked up the tattered picture with his palm, and unconsciously swallowed. He placed the tattered, ancient picture in his hand, and a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes.

As Lin Langtian carefully scanned the somewhat familiar mysterious route on the image, he felt that even the Devouring Ancestral Symbol within his body began to tremble.

After a long pause, Lin Langtian slowly narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and murmured softly, "It really is it..."
