It was past 10 am the next day when Lin Huang arrived at the entrance of the foggy area.
There was a valley at the entrance of the foggy area, and there were hundreds of people gathered there.
Lin Huang saw someone he knew. It was Huangfu Lin.
In reality, Lin Huang had seen her before he entered the ruins, but she did not notice that Lin Huang was among the crowd.
Huangfu Lin was shocked when she saw Lin Huang. Lin Huang's appearance was out of her expectation. However, she sensed the strength of Lin Huang's aura immediately, and her shock turned into shock.
"Long time no see."
Seeing that she had noticed him, Lin Huang knew that he could not avoid her, so he walked towards Huangfu Lin with a smile. He did not want to see his old friends like Huangfu Lin because the speed of his elevation in combat strength was so fast that it did not make sense.
As expected, the first thing that Huangfu Lin said was, "Your combat strength is already on immortal-level rank-3?!"
It had only been half a year since they last met. However, Lin Huang's combat strength was only on blue flame-level six months ago. He had leveled up five ranks within half a year, and he had even leveled up from holy fire-level to immortal-level. His cultivation speed was so fast that it was unbelievable.
"Yes, I'm lucky." Lin Huang nodded with a smile. However, what he said cut the topic completely. He was implying that he did not want to talk about this in detail.
Huangfu Lin did not want to ask further, so she changed the topic. "Even if you've leveled up to immortal-level rank-3, you shouldn't be here."
"There's a slot, so I'm here to join in the fun." Lin Huang knew that he was being looked down upon, but he did not bother to explain. After all, apart from the few holy fire-level powerhouses, his combat strength was the lowest among all of them. He could not possibly tell Huangfu Lin that he was actually very powerful and that he could even fight an imperial-level white gold-rank powerhouse.
"Everyone is gathered at the entrance of the valley. Why aren't you going in?" In order to prevent Huangfu Lin from talking about his combat strength again, Lin Huang changed the topic.
"You can't get in now. The area covered by the white fog seems to be blocked by an invisible membrane. You'll know once you reach out and touch it," Huangfu Lin explained. She had arrived a few hours earlier than Lin Huang, so she had already gathered the information.
"What do we do now? Should we wait? "
"The people from the Coalition government said that this layer of defense should only exist for 24 hours. After 24 hours, it will automatically dissipate, and we can enter by then." This was not confidential information, so Huangfu Lin naturally had nothing to hide.
After chatting with Huangfu Lin for a while, Lin Huang saw Shen Tao of the Heaven Alliance descending from the sky on a ferocious bird.
Shen Tao also saw Lin Huang in the crowd.
After recalling the ferocious bird, he walked towards Lin Huang in big strides. He only noticed Lin Huang's abnormal combat strength when he got closer. "Lin Xie, your combat strength …"
"It's just a small encounter." Lin Huang shook Shen Tao's hand while smiling.
Compared to Huangfu Lin, he had fought with Shen Tao in the witch tribe's land before, so naturally, he was more familiar with him.
"You guys talk." Huangfu Lin nodded at the both of them and left.
Shen Tao glanced at Huangfu Lin. After she was far away, he then put his hand on Lin Huang's shoulder and gave him a thumbs up. He said softly, "This chick isn't bad!"
"You're thinking too much. I've only met her once." Lin Huang shook his head while smiling.
"Once can turn into two or three times. If you work harder, you might even meet ten or twenty times." Shen Tao winked at him. "Let me tell you, when you're with a woman, you must be clingy."
"You're single. You don't have to share your experience with me. I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a girlfriend if I listen to you." Lin Huang attacked him directly.
"…" Shen Tao was speechless.
"What do you guys know about this foggy land?" Lin Huang asked through voice transmission all of a sudden.
"Nothing." Shen Tao said in all seriousness, "The Fallen God Land is a grade-seven ruin. The Coalition government in Division 3 has a high level of confidentiality regarding this ruin. Even though they've opened it up on a large scale, they only gave us the most basic information. "
"Although less than one-fifth of the ruin has been explored throughout the hundreds of years, the Coalition government in Division 3 must've collected a lot of useful information. I think the people from the Coalition government and the Hunters' Association might know something about this foggy land. "Shen Tao shared his speculation.
Recalling what Huangfu Lin said earlier about the people from the Coalition government knowing that the defense layer would exist for 24 hours, Lin Huang thought Shen Tao's speculation should be right.
"Let's not talk about this. Since you're here, let's move out together. We can take care of each other." Shen Tao dragged Lin Huang to where the few Heaven Alliance members were gathered. "Brother Tan Lang is here too. He's been wanting to meet you for a long time."
Lin Huang had only heard about Tan Lang but had never seen him in person. In reality, Lin Huang had never seen any of the three deputy chiefs of the Heaven Alliance before. He had no idea how they looked like.
Before Lin Huang and Shen Tao, five people from the Heaven Alliance had arrived.
Seeing Shen Tao bringing Lin Huang over, the five people from the Heaven Alliance sized up Lin Huang curiously. They remembered that Lin Huang was only on holy fire-level. Never had they thought that he would be on immortal-level rank-3 now. They were shocked at the speed of his elevation in combat strength.
Lin Huang glanced at the five of them. Although all of them were on immortal-level rank-9, he recognized Tan Lang at first glance.
He was not as tall as Lin Huang imagined. He was about the same height as Lin Huang, slightly more than 1.8 meters tall. He wore a black, slim-fit trench coat with a standing collar, and he looked rather skinny. However, Lin Huang was sure that he was the kind of person who looked skinny when he wore clothes but muscular when he took them off.
He had tanned skin and was not considered handsome, but he had a manly vibe. There was a horizontal scar on the left side of his face that was almost three centimeters long. However, the scar did not make him look ugly. Instead, it gave him a cold aura.
Although they were all on immortal-level rank-9, Tan Lang, who was dressed in black, had the most powerful aura. He was much more powerful than the other three.
'Indeed, he's on par with Dynasty's Seventh Prince,' Lin Huang thought to himself.
Apart from Tan Lang, Lin Huang took another glance at a baby-faced person. The person's aura was only slightly weaker than Tan Lang's, and it was clear that he was also a supreme genius.
He should be at least 28 years old, but he looked like he was 17 or 18 years old at the most. He was also wearing a student's uniform. He had a gentle smile on his face, and he looked harmless.
'He's a guy who pretends to be weak,' Lin Huang thought to himself.
"Hi, I'm Lin Xie." Lin Huang walked up and greeted them.
"Tan Lang." Tan Lang was the first to shake hands with Lin Huang.
"Li Jia." The baby-faced person was the second.
"…"
After some introductions, Lin Huang found out that Tan Lang and Shen Tao came from Division 1 while Li Jia came from Division 2. Chan Dou gave two of the ten spots to Division 1 and one to Division 2 this time. The remaining seven spots were reserved for the local members in Division 3.
"Lin Xie, I know that your ability far exceeds your combat strength. Although your combat strength is on immortal-level rank-3 now, your actual ability might be more powerful than many immortal-level rank-9s. However, there are many immortal-level rank-9 supreme geniuses who are coming to the ruins this time. Some of them even have the ability to kill imperial-levels. There are also many imperial-level powerhouses who might participate. To put it bluntly, your strength is not worth mentioning in front of these people. "
"Chan Dou gave me a mission before I came here. If I encounter you in the ruins, I must protect you as best as I can. He thinks that you have the potential to become one of the Five Princes, so he doesn't want you to die in the ruins. I don't want to judge whether he's right or not, but I don't want to fail my mission. Therefore, I'm giving you a mission here. It sounds simple, but it might not be easy to do. It's to protect yourself, "Tan Lang said directly.
Tan Lang bluntly said these words. Although his words were not pleasant to hear, it was obvious that he had good intentions.
"Alright then." Lin Huang had no idea how to respond to what Tan Lang said.
"Don't leave the team after entering the foggy area. Stay with everyone. If the team gets separated, your first choice is to follow me, Li Jia, and Shen Tao … "
