    ?1866 Being Targeted


    After leaving the town, Yun Lintian headed east toward the capital city.


    The environment became increasingly deserted, and the temperature dropped drastically. Yun Lintian constantly scanned the surroundings but found nothing except endless, driednds.


    "They said the Netherworld is scorching, but it''s actually more like a desert." Yun Lintian spoke to himself.


    The red glow in the sky didn''t appear to contribute any warmth to thend below. The further Yun Lintian walked, the colder it became.


    "Hmm?" Yun Lintian gazed into the distance and saw a sandstorm approaching. However, instead of a regr sandstorm, it was filled with peculiar gray-colored objects.


    Yun Lintian immediately remembered a piece of information that Zhao Ming had told him earlier. "Aher storm?"


    The Nether Storm was a natural disaster that happened regrly in the Netherworld. It could possibly take one''s life away if one were careless.


    Zhao Ming advised Yun Lintian to either find a hiding ce or set up a protective formation whenever he encountered it. Otherwise, he might be blown away and end up in a bad situation.


    Yun Lintian nced around but saw nothing he could use to shield himself. He waved his hand and enveloped himself and Gui Xuan in ck clothes. Simultaneously, he stomped his foot on the ground, conjuring an earth wall to encircle him.


    Yun Lintian crouched down within the wall, waiting for the storm to arrive.


    Bang!


    As soon as the storm hit the wall, Yun Lintian''s vision was immediately filled with gray particles, making it impossible to see the surroundings.


    Furthermore, Yun Lintian discovered that his spiritual sense was greatly suppressed. He couldn''t extend it beyond ten kilometers. It could be seen how terrifying the Nether Storm was.


    At that moment, Gui Xuan poked his head out from Yun Lintian''s chest and raised his head to look at the storm. "Not...friend."


    Yun Lintian frowned slightly and then followed Gui Xuan''s gaze. The scene that appeared in his vision almost caused his heart to stop. It was a colossal human face, with half of it decayed to the point where he could see pus and blood flowing out.


    "What a surprise. There are two little ghosts here." The man spoke. His voice was chilling and eerie, causing Yun Lintian to shiver.


    Suddenly, a giant skeletal hand emerged from the storm and reached out to Yun Lintian.


    Yun Lintian regained hisposure. His aura surged immediately as he threw a punch at the oing hand.


    BOOM!


    The skeleton hand was sted into pieces instantly.


    "A god!? Impossible! How did you manage to appear here?" The man''s voice echoed through the air. There was a hint of fear in it.


    Yun Lintian leaped out of the earthen wall and retreated several hundred meters.


    However, as he was about to make a move, the giant ghost had already disappeared into the storm. No matter how hard he searched, he couldn''t find anything in the end.


    A momentter, the storm weakened andpletely dissipated.


    Yun Lintian quickly scanned the surroundings but found nothing.


    "What the heck was that?" Yun Lintian muttered to himself. Even though he was a seasoned practitioner, this type of jump scare almost caused his heart to fail.


    Fortunately, the giant ghost wasn''t powerful. It was only at the level of a Divine King.


    Yun Lintian let out a long breath and shook his head. That scary face would likely haunt him for a few days.


    "This is why I don''t enjoy watching horror movies." Yun Lintian shook his head and looked around again to determine the direction before resuming his journey.


    In the far distance, the giant ghost emerged from the Nether Storm and gazed in the direction Yun Lintian was departing.


    "My lord, I have encountered a lesser god." The giant ghost spoke. "Yes. He is heading east."

    Yun Lintian had no idea that he was currently being targeted by the giant ghost. After walking for three more days, Yun Lintian discovered a small ghost vige where he could rest.


    The vige he was in could not bepared to the Wandering Ghost Town, but it was filled with numerous ghosts. The locals here didn''t pay much attention to neers because there were many peopleing and going regrly.


    Yun Lintian''s arrival didn''t attract anyone''s attention. He inquired and used self-created "ghost coins" to rent an unupied house.


    After setting up an isting formation, Yun Lintian closed his eyes and summoned the Gate of Beyond Heaven.


    The gate in Yun Lintian''s mind shook slightly and then emerged beside him.


    Yun Lintian was delighted. He could actually enter the Land of Beyond Heaven from the Netherworld!


    Without hesitation, Yun Lintian carried Gui Xuan and walked through the gate.


    When Yun Lintian appeared in the Land of Beyond Heaven, Lin Yitong, Jin Huian, and Zhang Yu immediately appeared in front of him.


    "I know it." Lin Yitong said gently. As she mentioned previously, the Gate of Beyond Heaven was constructed from a portion of the most powerful spatial true god. It was possible to open it from the Netherworld.


    Jin Huian frowned as she looked at the gray dust on Yun Lintian''s clothes. "What happened?"


    Yun Lintian removed the ck clothes and set Gui Xuan free.


    Zhang Yu immediately stepped forward to check on Gui Xuan. After confirming that he was unharmed, she hurriedly took him away as if she was afraid Yun Lintian would abduct him.


    Yun Lintian ignored them and focused on Jin Huian. "I encountered the Nether Storm three days ago."


    He paused for a moment and then continued. "Well, the Netherworld is surprisingly simr to our world…."


    Yun Lintian proceeded to discuss the Netherworld, which he had learned about from Zhao Ming, as well as his experiences over the past three days.


    "There are true gods?" Lin Yitong raised her eyebrows slightly.


    "I''m not sure. I need to confirm it first. Right now, I''m heading to the capital city to find out more." Yun Lintian answered.


    Jin Huian felt disappointed. She was eager to learn about Master Bai''s situation.


    "Let me take a look at it." Jin Huian spoke as she walked through the gate. However, she immediately hit an invisible barrier in the next moment.


    Jin Huian frowned and looked at Yun Lintian with a questioning expression.


    Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. "I didn''t do anything."


    Lin Yitong approached the gate and reached out. She, too, was blocked by the invisible barrier.


    "It is the boundary of the realm. We can''t enter from here unless we use the formal entrance." She spoke gently.
