Chapter 287 - Attack on Dan King Valley

Mu Family Ancestor’ mood soured upon hearing Elder Di Que’s cold rebuke.

He was a venerable family ancestor and a Spirit Transformation Realm powerhouse.

He wasn’t accustomed to being treated like this, not even by someone of the same level.

“So you really won’t exchange?”

“No exchange!” Elder Di Que was also quite infuriated.

Lin Xuan was his lifeline, his only hope for healing his legs!

Now, without even having found the medicinal ingredients, Mu Family Ancestor and his men wanted to take away his hope for survival, how could he not be anxious?

“No exchange also must be exchanged!”

For the sake of Earth-grade Martial Arts, Mu Family Ancestor decided to act.

“Mu Xing, Mu Hua, you two bring that lad up here!”

“How dare you!

No one dares to cause trouble in Dan King Valley!” Elder Di Que panicked as well.

“Set up the Defense Array, if they forcefully intrude, execute them on the spot!”

Boom!

After giving instructions, Elder Di Que soared into the sky with his wheelchair, rushing towards Mu Family Ancestor.

The two faced each other, clashing with terrifying auras, as if doomsday had arrived.

Below, Mu Xing and Mu Hua were also obstructed, with the entire valley lighting up with a translucent Light Array, blocking the terrifying Sword Qi and Palm Shadow.

Lin Xuan, watching the Sword Light and Sword Shadow, couldn’t calm his heart.

After all, it was his lack of strength that had brought people to his doorstep.

He must enhance his strength, or he wouldn’t survive until the family assembly; he’d be secretly harmed by the Mu family and others.

“Ah!”

A scream echoed as Mu Xing ascended fleeing into the sky; Mu Hua too had blood trickling from his mouth.

It seemed that Dan King Valley’s Defense Array was no trivial matter.

Seeing that it was impossible to capture Lin Xuan today, Mu Family Ancestor’s face was as dark as water.

He clashed with Elder Di Que with a palm strike, and the entire sky shook endlessly, as if it was being torn apart.

“Elder Di Que, today’s matter won’t end here!

One day, you will obediently hand him over!”

“Let’s go!” Mu Family Ancestor, with a sweep of his sleeve, led his followers away.

He had already decided to spread the news, to urge multiple powerhouses to converge on Dan King Valley.

Even if he couldn’t acquire it, he wouldn’t let Dan King Valley benefit either!

This move could be described as extremely sinister.

While Dan King Valley was powerful, it couldn’t endure the combined forces of Mu Family, Black Wind Sect, and many other masters.

Elder Di Que returned to the valley with a gloomy face, dispatching even more personnel to protect Lin Xuan.

Later that night, powerful fluctuations of Spiritual Power appeared in the sky, throwing the entire valley into chaos.

Elder Di Que rushed into the sky, followed by a fierce battle erupting overhead.

Lin Xuan sensed the crisis of the situation; he didn’t want to stay here any longer.

Waiting for daylight, Elder Di Que returned to the valley, but he had multiple new injuries—last night’s powerful beings had been extremely problematic.

Lin Xuan found him and proposed his temporary departure.

“Rest assured, Lin, these old fellows can’t hurt me!

I can surely protect you!”

“I’m afraid things are worse than imagined, fearing they might join forces.”

“Senior, we can’t gather all the herbs soon anyway, my staying here is pointless,” Lin Xuan said gravely.

“Senior, rest assured, I will definitely return after half a year.”

After half a year, the family assembly would be over, and Lin Xuan would have no more worries.

“Good, I believe in you, Lin!” Elder Di Que pondered for a moment before nodding firmly.

“Thank you for your trust, Senior!” Lin Xuan expressed his gratitude.

“In that case, I will help Senior cultivate the Thousand Spider Poison Grass first, so Senior won’t have to worry too much.”

“Can you cultivate it successfully?” Elder Di Que was stirred inside; this was his last hope.

Then, Lin Xuan took out pen and paper, drawing the needed Engravings.

This is an Array Formation, extremely complex, the engravings like numerous stars, dazzling to behold.

With Lin Xuan’s current Soul Power, he was utterly incapable of setting it up, only able to sketch it on paper, believing that Elder Di Que should have a way to accomplish it.

Old Man Di Que’s eyes lit up immediately upon seeing that intricate Engraving.

With his discerning eyes, he could naturally perceive the extraordinariness of the Engraving, and Lin Xuan trusting him with such a precious item indicated a deep trust in him.

“Is Brother Lin planning to leave now?”

“Mm, we must act swiftly to catch them off guard,” Lin Xuan stated gravely.

“I have a secret Transmission Array in Dan King Valley that is usually kept inactive, today it shall be opened just for you, Brother Lin.”

With that, he led Lin Xuan toward the deeper parts of the valley.

In an underground cavern, there was an Array Platform, entirely snow-white, save for a missing piece.

“Missing this piece, both sides of the Array are blocked, thus preventing outsiders from entering Dan King Valley through the Array,” explained Elder Di Que.

Then, he extracted a block the size of a brick from his Storage Ring and placed it in the gap, set up a Spirit Stone, and the entire Array Platform emitted a faint light.

“Brother Lin, this is a map of Heavenly Mountain Country, you’ll know once you’re out.”

Lin Xuan took it, speaking earnestly, “I will likely return within six months to a year.

During this time, it’s best if you avoid consuming the Thousand Spider Poison Grass.”

“Rest assured, I will definitely wait for Brother Lin’s return!”

Boom, rumble!

Suddenly, numerous terrifying presences erupted within the valley, weighing down like giant mountains on everyone’s hearts.

Elder Di Que’s expression shifted slightly, “You better hurry, I can handle this.”

Lin Xuan nodded, no longer speaking.

He leaped onto the Array Platform, and with a flash of white light, he disappeared.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself in an underground dry well.

With a flash, Lin Xuan swiftly left the place.

He took out the map given by Elder Di Que and found himself in the eastern part of Heavenly Mountain Country, the Hengduan Mountain Range.

The map was comprehensive, Lin Xuan could locate Xia Country, though it seemed rather insignificant compared to Heavenly Mountain Country.

“Six months should be sufficient to reach Xia Country,” Lin Xuan estimated, realizing he needed to keep moving.

“Don’t you have another means of transportation?” Lord of Wine reminded him.

“Green-eyed Blue Toad!” Lin Xuan suddenly remembered, he pulled out the Storage Bag, finding the golden egg had turned into a tadpole.

Lin Xuan reached out with his Soul, finding the little tadpole also actively responding to him.

“If you’re not confident, you can form a contract with it,” advised Lord of Wine.

Lin Xuan did as advised, establishing a contract with the Green-eyed Blue Toad, becoming its master.

He also tried to form a contract with the Snow White Monkey, but the monkey disdainfully snubbed him.

Next, Lin Xuan fed three drops of Earth Spirit Liquid to the tadpole, hoping it would quickly grow into a frog state so it could carry him on the road.

Seven days later, croaking sounds came from the Demon Beast Bag.

During this time, Lord of Wine had also removed the last trace of marking from the Demon Beast Bag, meaning now no one could track Lin Xuan.

With a slight stir of his mind, Lin Xuan let the Green-eyed Blue Toad out.

Croak Croak

A two-meter-tall frog jumped in front of him, rubbing incessantly against his chest.

This frog looked different from the Green-eyed Blue Toads he had seen, with three golden stripes on its back and golden eyes as well.

“From now on, you’ll be called Little Gold,” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

“You have an older brother named Little White.”

With this, he brought out the white monkey.

Chirp chirp

The Snow White Monkey jumped onto Little Gold, dancing joyfully.

“Let’s go!” Lin Xuan also seated himself, patting Little Gold’s head.
