When Zhang Yan was about to leave, Yan LuoMeng Yao as well as the Chang sisters all came to him and Yan Luo asked, "Zhang Yan, you said you wanted to enter the Huangquan Road, right? it's really too dangerous for you to be alone, so would you like to be with me and my family?"
Meng Yao followed, "Yan Luo's right! Or you can enter with me, so that you can teach me spirit tattooing skills meanwhile."
Zhang Yan replied with a smile, "Thank you! But I have my own affairs different from yours to do."
She hummed, "Well, then don't die in the road! I'm still waiting for you to remove my confusions on spirit tattooing." She turned around and left.
Yan Luo smiled, "I have to go back to make preparation. Be careful tomorrow! Once you enter the road, it will be difficult to come out!"
"I know. Don't worry about me!" Zhang Yan returned to his room in the inn. The Anti-Soul Beast had been waiting for him and became relieved when he came back.
"Sir, I can feel that the quantity of yin in the Huangquan Road has gradually decreased these days and tomorrow will be the best to enter it. But you should be particularly careful and well-prepared, for the situation will not last for long and I am afraid that there will be a big outbreak after it." said the beast.
Zhang Yan got a little shocked, "Wow, I never expected that you have such capability!"
The beast smiled, "I was born in the road, so I there is a kind of connection between us. But now my body's gone and my soul is seriously damaged, so my perception for it has dropped a lot."
Zhang Yan immediately asked, "Then can you find the Huangquan? I want to use Huangquan water to save my buddy."
"Huangquan?" The beast thought for a second and answered, "It is pretty mysterious and I've never seen it before, but I know a general direction. You want it to save your buddy? Perhaps it can help repair my soul as well."
Zhang Yan shook his head, "You don't own a body, so I'm not that confident to recover you. But we can have a try. I know its location!"
"You do?" The beast questioned incredulously and became admired by Zhang Yan who was knowledgeable at such a young age.
Zhang Yan replied smilingly, "Your duty is to protect me in the road and after we get the water, we will know if it can really repair your soul."
After the conversation, they both went to sleep to restore energy for tomorrow.
Somewhere in the Fengdu City, Long Tian was reporting to an old man and the two Qinglong elders. The old man was Ming Hai, the former Master of the Qingming School, with the cultivation at the sixth level of Martial King State. He had lived for 1,990 years, only ten-year life left, so he wanted to take advantage of the Reincarnation Ship to prolong his life, though it was especially difficult.
When he heard that Mo Ning, his favorite grand-disciple, was killed by Zhang Yan, the abandonment of the Qingyuan School, he got outraged, eager to cut Zhang Yan into piece as revenge. But he dared to do nothing in the Fengdu City, so he suppressed his anger, "I've suggested to not let any resisting disciple go! Now the tiger was released and killed our school's chief disciple! What a huge shame! "
"This damned Zhang Yan! He will enter the Huangquan Road, right? Let's kill him tomorrow in the road! Listen everyone, pay attention to him tomorrow and kill him at any cost!"
Time passed and the noon of the next day fell.
A large square in the most western of the Fengdu City gathered numerous warriors. In the center of the square, there stood a dry well with a height of around one meter, a diameter of more than ten meters and plenty of ancient characters curved on its wall. Zhang Yan had no idea about those characters, but the beast uttered, "This well is the entrance of the Huangquan Road, and the characters on the wall are left by the Reincarnation Emperor to seal the ghosts in it."
