Although mortals would be allowed to leave, cultivators could not. If a large number of cultivators was to migrate to another country, war would definitely break out. A nationwide migration of cultivators was considered taboo, because such a mass migration would put a massive drain on the receiving country’s native lingqi and would cause the local XiuZhen Sects to fall into chaos. Furthermore, the imported LingShi and magic weapons would result in massive spiritual fluctuations.
The number of XiuZhen countries on Zhuque Planet was fixed. Thus, if the volcanoes in Huo Fen Country were to erupt, it would result in the tyrannical fire attribute lingqi filling the air. This oppressive lingqi would make breathing practice impossible. In such a situation, the cultivators of Huo Fen Country would not be able to survive for long.
But such an event had never happened, not even once, even though there were many volcanoes in Huo Fen Country. Every time the volcanoes had been ready to erupt, they had been sealed one by one. Even if there had been an outbreak, it would have been limited to a small range and would thus have been harmless.
After about three hours, Wang Lin stopped near an official road. He had already been wearing a gloomy expression, but after reaching the official road, he turned pale.
On the official road, dozens of bodies were strewn about, upturned in disorder. Horses lay motionless alongside their carriages.
These people were mostly men, and each without exception had died grimacing in pain. Still clutching their weapons, they had apparently died killing one another.
Wang Lin stopped outside of one of the carriages and waved his right hand. The roof and wheels of the carriage blew apart with a bang, as though a wind had forcefully struck the whole carriage. Instantly, a body fell with a red light and took on the appearance of the devil. Floating in mid-air, it stared at Wang Lin with a face full of fear, but its face instantly changed into an ugly expression as it roared: “You finally came. I was about to go find you. These mortal souls are too tasteless. I wonder what your soul tastes like.”
Having spoken, it suddenly lunged towards Wang Lin.
Wang Lin was mulling his thoughts. The only reason that he had been able to find this devil had been because back when the devil had initially been swallowing those small animals, Wang Lin had left behind a trace of his own divine consciousness. It had entered the devil’s body alongside the creatures it had swallowed. Thus, if there eventually came a day when the devil became too strong, Wang Lin would be still be able to control it. However, that day was still a bit far off in the future. For now, he could only use it to sense the devil’s location within a short range.
