Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 267 - 169: The Cursed Land

"Stop, I can’t go out!"

"I can’t leave the town!"

The old man shouted desperately.

"Explain why you can’t come out?"

Jiang Feng felt puzzled, using the Power of Heaven and Earth, he restrained the old man and dragged him to the city gate, just over a meter away from the gate.

"Ever since the Divine Sect turned into the Ghost Sect, Sunset Town has only allowed entry, not exit. No one has ever been able to leave alive like you did. We are all cursed people, please spare me, I was wrong, I beg you."

The old man pleaded.

"A curse?"

Jiang Feng was bewildered.

"Tell me everything you know, or I’ll turn you into a dried-up corpse!"

Jiang Feng raged.

"I’ll tell, I’ll tell."

The old man dared not resist.

He explained seriously, "Ten years ago, the disciples of the Divine Sect suddenly disappeared, and since then, strange events have occurred frequently in Sunset Town. Initially, people started dying mysteriously. Later, we discovered that the more frequently you enter and leave Sunset Town, the sooner you die. Eventually, anyone who has stepped into the town, regardless of who they are, would inevitably turn into a dried corpse, as if their Essence Blood was drained, dying from blood depletion."

"Since then, none of us dared to leave, so please have mercy on me, spare me!"

The old man pleaded for mercy.

"Hmph, so you wanted me to leave as soon as I came in to see me turn into Old Huang like that, right?"

Jiang Feng interrogated.

"I... I didn’t mean to deceive you. The Divine Sect indeed turned into the Ghost Sect. If you don’t believe me, you can check for yourself. You are a capable person; please spare me. I’m old and don’t have many years left."

The old man wept.

"The stories about the Divine Sect spreading to the north, are they all fabricated by you people to deliberately lure outsiders here?"

Jiang Feng questioned again.

He had been puzzled, the Divine Sect had become like this, why were the reports from the north about prosperity and frequent miraculous events? It seemed now that someone was deliberately causing trouble.

"Everyone desires to become immortal, we just added some color, we didn’t mean to deceive you. Anyway, I was wrong, this is the silver taels you gave me, I’ll return them to you."

The old man took out the one tael of silver Jiang Feng had given him.

"You’re lying to me."

Jiang Feng shook his head.

"No, every word I said is true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them."

The old man pointed to the other people in the town.

Instantly, the town residents who were originally peeking at the city gate all hid away. It was clear that Jiang Feng’s methods made them fearful, afraid that he would casually pull them to the city gate.

"Whether you’re deceiving me or not, I don’t need to ask others, I’ll know as soon as I see whether you die when you come out."

Jiang Feng smiled.

"No..."

The old man’s expression changed dramatically upon hearing this.

But before he could say anything else.

With a thought, Jiang Feng used the Power of Heaven and Earth to sweep up the old man’s body and forcibly drag him out of the town.

"You..."

The old man turned around, wanting to go back into the town.

But in an instant, he clutched his throat, and his once frail body visibly shriveled. After just two steps, he fell to his knees and from a living person, turned into a corpse.

His mouth wide open, hand reaching towards the town, even in death, he wanted to crawl back into the town.

"Good riddance!"

Huang Li shouted.

Her father, Old Huang, was tricked out by this old man, and because he was a Grade-Entering Martial Artist, he walked a distance before his body changed, dying tens of meters away.

Jiang Feng looked towards Huang Li, the little girl’s appearance seemed to have changed as if her mindset had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

She looked deeply at Jiang Feng, then turned and walked back into the town.

Unsure of what she was going to do.

Jiang Feng merely felt that the little girl’s eyes were completely devoid of emotion, as if Old Huang’s death had made her extremely cold-blooded, planning revenge on everyone in the town.

Jiang Feng sighed inwardly.

He couldn’t save Huang Li, nor could he help her.

Now that the Divine Sect no longer existed, staying here had lost its meaning. To find shelter, he could only look for other sects, or cross Chishui County, far away from the Great Tang, ensuring he didn’t encounter the Second Prince and the Old Demon Child.

"Hmm?"

However, just as Jiang Feng turned, he sensed a presence surging from the north.

The opponent didn’t stir the Power of Heaven and Earth, seemingly afraid of being detected by him.

Along the way, using personal cultivation, enhancing body martial arts techniques, heading towards Sunset Town.

Jiang Feng could see, a thousand meters away, on the flat ground, a figure approaching rapidly, so fast it seemed they would arrive in the blink of an eye.

"Liu Jinhu!"

Jiang Feng’s expression drastically changed.

The Celestial Profound Realm’s eye power, a rapidly approaching figure a thousand meters away, though unable to fully make out, the aura fluctuations instinctively led Jiang Feng to think of Liu Jinhu.

In his view.

In such a desolate place, for such a terrifying person to appear, and heading straight for him, the only ones he could think of were Liu Jinhu, or the Second Prince, or even the Old Demon Child.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Feng didn’t hesitate.

He used the Three-legged Body Technique.

Turned around and entered the town.

Unleashing his body technique within the town, using the town’s houses as cover, he quickly moved from the town gate to the town center, then swiftly headed towards the south city gate of the town.

That was the way to the Divine Sect. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Trying to escape?"

Nine hundred meters away, Liu Jinhu saw the silhouette of Sunset Town from afar.

He was not unfamiliar with this town.
