The door of the room was pushed open, and Ye Wanjun walked in with an excited look on his face, looking forward to the trip to Mount Karian.

The first thing he saw when he walked into the room was half a cup of coffee on the table. He really didn't understand why Lin Ji liked this bitter thing.

"Michiko, when are we leaving?"

"Just waiting for you, let's go."

Putting the banknotes under the coffee cup, Lin Ji took Ye Wanjun and moved through space to the outside of Hongxia City and began to fly towards the Karien Volcano. This time, only Ye Xun and several people who were in the state of mind to build their foundation knew about their departure, while everyone else thought they were going to practice in seclusion.

Before leaving, he had asked people to collect intelligence on the surrounding cities. When he came back, if the time was right, he would plan to expand his sphere of influence first. Hongxia City is not large in area and has a small population, so it is not suitable for development.

……

Sunny afternoon.

The childish cheers of the lower grade students in the school rang out all around, hitting Chen Chen's heart hard. His face was burning and he looked forward with an incredible look.

The blonde loli was wearing an off-white hooded sweatshirt. The wide hem swayed gently in the breeze. Her blonde hair sparkled in the sun. She was wearing light blue jeans and a pair of white sneakers. Each of her steps was light and confident, like a jumping deer.

Amid the cheers from all around, Ye Zizhen retracted his fist and stepped forward with a proud look on his face, stopping two meters away from Chen Chen.

"Chen Chen, if you have no money, you can go to my uncle. Don't go to Ruoye to borrow. You dare to hit my little brother when you are stopped. You are courting death! Hehehe!"

Thinking of the words used by the villain in yesterday's TV series, Ye Zizhen immediately put them into practice, and even nodded in a serious tone after she finished speaking.

"Zizhen, don't be like this. After all, Chen Chen helped me together with you. It's normal for him to lend me some money when he's in trouble. At most, I won't lend him money next time."

A girl of the same age as Ye Zizhen appeared beside her and whispered in her ear, hoping to persuade her friend not to be so violent.

Ye Zizhen snorted when she heard this, expressing her displeasure. She had wanted to teach Chen Chen a lesson for the past few days, but she had never had the chance. He had made a lot of noise in the Adventurer's Guild several times, which had brought a lot of negative impact to the Ye family. If it weren't for the fact that his father had a past relationship with her uncle, he would have been kicked out long ago.

Seeing his father died, his uncle felt sorry for him and offered him help, but he refused it because it was a union assignment and he had no money and had to ask little girls for help, but he refused to accept it. He still has such a strong self-esteem.

Thinking of this, Ye Zizhen became more and more unhappy. She stepped forward and kicked Chen Chen several meters away. She had held back on this kick, otherwise, with her strength, she would be considered a waste if she didn't kill a mere fourth-level warrior instantly.

"Chen Chen, don't bother Ruoye again."

After warning again, Ye Zizhen took out a bank card from his trouser pocket and flew over, dropping it next to Chen Chen's hand.

"This is the pocket money I save. It's enough for you to have food and clothing for several years. Go to school and practice hard. Don't tell me or you won't accept it because of your pride. The password is... It's up to you whether you want it or not."

After saying that, Ye Zizhen turned around, took Ruoye's hand and left, and at the same time asked the children of the same grade who were watching the show around to stop watching. In an instant, all the noisy children went back. This is the deterrent power of Ye Zizhen, the biggest bully in the whole grade in the school.

After the noise faded away, only Chen Chen's breathing remained in the silence. It took him a while to recover. He glanced at the bank card at hand, thinking about the little money he had left from hiring someone to look for his father, so he reached out and put it in his pocket.

"I never realized that Zizhen was so strong. I was really deceived by her appearance... But thank you, I finally solved the urgent problem. I really hope that my father's death has nothing to do with Ye Youkong."

Chen Chen shook his head, feeling a little emotional, but not regretful. He didn't want to accept Ye Youkong's help because his father's death was suspicious and might be related to Ye Youkong. He could only borrow money from Miss Yuxuan, even though it was indeed not a glorious thing.

……

On the endless land, a clearly colored boundary runs through, dividing the land into two.

On one side is the vibrant green grassland, and on the other side is the desert covered with yellow sand. This boundary, like a brush drawn by God, splits the two worlds apart.

“According to the information, the opposite side is the so-called integrated area.”

Lin Ji and his companion stood on the grassland, looking out at the desert across the way. Lin Ji was very interested in this phenomenon.

He stretched his hand across the dividing line, and at that moment, he felt like he had broken through some kind of barrier. After carefully investigating for a moment, he found that the barrier was not formed by spiritual power or mental power, but a power that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. Lin Ji thought about it and felt that it should be one of them, the power of the fragments of the Heavenly Dao or some kind of rule.

"Michiko, have you figured out what this membrane is?"

Ye Wanjun, who had already passed through the membrane and entered the desert, looked back curiously, but he couldn't understand it anyway.

"I have some guesses, but let's go first. The city closest to the Karien volcano is ahead. Let's go there to collect some information about the volcano."

Lin Ji quickly walked into the desert and stopped worrying about this issue.

The two of them walked quickly to the other side and met many people in different clothes along the way, but no matter who they were, they all avoided them when they saw them, and they didn't even have the heart to say hello, as if they were a scourge, which made Lin Ji and the others very strange.

After I caught someone on the road and asked him, I learned that it was not like this before. It was not until more than 20 years ago when the mayor of Dune City suddenly issued an order prohibiting outsiders from entering the city and some related laws that outsiders became very unwelcome here.

Some rumors say that the city lord was deceived by an outsider and was furious and issued these orders. Others say that the city lord was wearing a hat. In short, there are many different opinions and no one knows which one is true.

After understanding the general situation, Lin Ji released the man and changed the appearance of the two men according to the local people's clothing and skin color. As long as they behaved carefully, they would definitely not be discovered.

After walking for dozens of miles, a city vaguely visible in the yellow sand appeared before their eyes. It was an ancient city with a somewhat dilapidated city wall, but the city gate was lined with many people, including many martial artists.

Seeing this, Lin Ji and the other man also mixed in with the crowd to join in the fun. They saw a hunchbacked old man standing at the city gate reading out some notice, and then used his spiritual power to print the contents directly on the city wall for later visitors to see.

"Diaozi, this old man is quite powerful. If nothing unexpected happens, he must be a martial saint, right?"

Ye Wanjun looked at the scene in front of him and communicated with Lin Ji using his mental power.

"Well, he is only physically stronger than you. His overall strength is at most 40:60. You still have a good chance of winning."

While replying, Lin Ji began to carefully read the contents of the notice left by the old man.
