Hu Yuzhen was a demonic tiger demon so she wasn't a pushover. A dark glint flashed across her eyes as she refused to back down. "You brute, you haven't even mastered Transfiguration. If you weren't guarding this door, I wouldn't have given you face if I wanted to go in and check out your Dharma skills. Now that I've met an expert, there's no need for me to beg you. Since you want to teach me a lesson, I'll teach you a lesson instead."
Having said that, the two monsters began to fight.
At the same time, the white mist beneath the lion demon's feet surged out and enveloped the entire courtyard. Strangely enough, the battle between the two demons under the white mist did not damage the deserted house at all. It was truly miraculous, especially since White Ape and Zombie Cthulhu were still unaware of it.
This white mist clearly had the ability to divide worlds. Despite being in this small yard, through this white mist, there were actually two layers of space.
How brilliant.
Lin Jin's interest was piqued.
He didn't stop them. Instead, with a sweep of his silver needle, he directed the mist toward White Ape and Zombie Cthulhu. White Ape and Zombie Cthulhu jumped into the world. One sat up in shock while the other howled. The coffin shook incessantly.
"White Ape, carry the coffin!" Lin Jin ordered. White Ape immediately replied, "Yes, sir."
Having said that, he went over to carry the coffin.
By now, the white mist had thickened.
Hu Yuzhen, who was fighting against the lion, seemed to have the upper hand.
This was very normal. Just as Hu Yuzhen had said, she was much stronger than the lion demon in terms of shapeshifting. In terms of ability, she was also stronger.
To Lin Jin, Hu Yuzhen was at the peak of Rank 5 while the lion was only a Rank 4 monster. If they were to really fight, the lion wouldn't be able to survive.
After suffering a few slaps, the lion demon was infuriated. He cried out and finally, for some reason, he shouted, "You arrogant tiger demon, I will drag all of you into the Painting World. Let's see how you cry then."
The next instant, white mist rose from beneath his feet and it was hard to see anything within a foot of him. Lin Jin took out his needle just in case. However, nothing dangerous happened after that. Other than the white mist blotting out the sun, there were no signs of the enemy's reinforcements coming after him.
However, as the white fog gradually dissipated, Lin Jin was startled to find his surroundings changing.
Their surroundings were still covered in clouds and mist, and there was a towering gate in front of them. It was thirty meters tall and looked majestic.
Turning around, Lin Jin saw that Hu Yuzhen was still locked in a fight with the lion monster. White Ape and Zombie Cthulhu had also entered while Xiao Huo perched on Lin Jin's shoulder, looking wary.
"What is this place?" Lin Jin was stunned.
His first thought was that this was similar to the Nebula Barrier. Someone had used a supernatural spell to change the weather within a certain range. However, Lin Jin had a deep understanding of this spell so he knew that this was definitely not the Nebula Barrier.
It was as if they had been teleported to another place.
Although Lin Jin was surprised and curious, he managed to keep his composure. Given the current situation, he could only observe for now. It wasn't wise to act rashly before he had a clear grasp of the situation.
On the other side, the Lion Demon was already defeated. Hu Yuzhen held his head down and beat him.
His mighty weapon was nowhere to be seen. Unable to defeat her, unable to get up, the Lion Demon grumbled in anger.
However, at that moment, a sharp Blade Energy shot through the air, heading straight for Hu Yuzhen. The Blade Energy was so fast that Lin Jin couldn't react in time.
Hu Yuzhen, on the other hand, was strong enough to evade it immediately. However, this also allowed the Lion Demon to escape.
"What kind of monster is this? How dare you come here and behave atrociously."
With a scoff, another Blade Energy came slashing down.
This time, the Blade Energy seemed to be imbued with the power of the heavens. Even if Hu Yuzhen was strong enough, she had nowhere to hide from this attack.
Due to the previous attack, Lin Jin reacted quickly this time. Hu Yuzhen was his target for demon-slaying so how could he allow someone else to slay her first? Invoking a spell, Xiao Huo leaped up from his back. Then, cold air surged, forming a dome of ice. Although it couldn't stop the Sword Energy, it was able to delay it enough for Hu Yuzhen to escape.
Even so, the Blade Energy managed to cut off a strand of Hu Yuzhen's hair. Hu Yuzhen paled in fear.
As the Blade Energy swept down, it cut a ravine in the clouds beneath her feet. From this, one could tell how powerful this attack was.
Hu Yuzhen was scared out of her wits. She hid behind Lin Jin as if she was running for her life. Perhaps to her, only a similarly strong Lin Jin could protect her now that they were facing a strong opponent.
After all, if Lin Jin hadn't intervened earlier, she would have been slain.
Lin Jin wasn't looking at Hu Yuzhen or the Lion Demon. Instead, he was looking up at the sky. Hu Yuzhen looked up too but she couldn't see anything.
She couldn't see, but Lin Jin could.
Thousands of feet up in the sky, there seemed to be a dense array of characters faintly discernible, swaying like wild geese.
It was a pity that even Lin Jin couldn't see it clearly.
But as expected, the Blade Energy earlier came from the dense array of characters in the sky.
No more Blade Energy came down but even so, Hu Yuzhen was scared out of her wits. For a split second, she thought she was going to die.
Enraged, the Lion Demon got up and started cursing.
Lin Jin remained calm as he saluted the man. "General Lion, I'm Lin Jin. I heard that General Lion wanted to drag us into the painting world. May I ask, is this the painting world?"
Although General Lion was infuriated by Hu Yuzhen's attack earlier, he couldn't be blamed for being rude. Although he was initially annoyed, after seeing Lin Jin's behavior, he couldn't hold back his anger. Noticing Lin Jin's extraordinary bearing, General Lion gave it some thought and decided not to throw a tantrum. Still, he wasn't in a good mood either.
"You and this tiger demon are birds of a feather flock together. But since you've asked, I'll tell you. That's right, this is the painting world, created by an ancient immortal. I am the gatekeeper appointed by the immortal. If you dare to behave atrociously here, you will be cut down by the immortal's Blade Energy and die without a complete corpse."
The Lion Demon looked smug as if he had a powerful backer.
At this, Lin Jin's heart skipped a beat. Although he was shocked, he was mostly happy.
Since the immortal path had fallen, there shouldn't be any immortals left in this world. To think that he would hear traces of an immortal here. More importantly, this place was so mysterious and there was even that lightning Blade Energy earlier. No matter how he looked at it, it was undoubtedly the work of an immortal. With this, wouldn't he be able to see the true face of an immortal?
As a reincarnated human, Lin Jin naturally hoped to learn some real skills. If there was an immortal here, it would be great if he could learn from them.
Of course, he had to explain himself lest the immortal cut him down with the Blade Energy.
Lin Jin smiled and said, "The conflict earlier was just a misunderstanding. This Miss Hu wasn't really here to cause trouble. As for me, I'm willing to apologize to General Lion on her behalf. Alternatively, Lin Jin could apologize to the immortal in person."
In Lin Jin's mind, an immortal must have a profound cultivation level and a transcendent state of mind. If Lin Jin apologized sincerely, the immortal wouldn't blame him. Moreover, Lin Jin could only admit defeat now. Apologizing was the only way out.
Of course, if the immortal here wanted to vanquish the demon and kill Hu Yuzhen, Lin Jin wouldn't be able to stop him. At most, he would just leave the demon to the immortal and leave it to him.
It was also for this reason that Lin Jin was acting so nonchalant.
Lin Jin had considered the worst-case scenario, and that was to hide in the Visitation Hall. He believed that with the Museum of Deadly Beasts, even a true immortal wouldn't be able to detect him.
