Entering the Valley (9th Update!)

"It's good to take shelter under a big tree? Ha, as competitors, I've already shown you the greatest mercy by not cutting you all in half. You expect me to provide you with protection? Don't think that just because you've paid me protection money, you're some kind of friend."

As the cold laugh subsided, several figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the manor.

"Lord Lin Dong, we are merely..."

Ling Zhi's expression changed, and he quickly cupped his hands in explanation.

"Get out of here right now, or I'll chop you all up if you dare follow me."

With a flick of his sleeve, the elegant young man sent a Green Lotus carrying the six members of the Great Yan Dynasty away from their original spot, transforming into a wisp of blue light that flew out of the city.

"This... eh..."

Ling Zhi and Liu Yuan looked at each other, then gave a bitter laugh.

They thought that since they had just paid a huge sum of Nirvana Pill a few days ago, they were already Lin Dong's number one henchmen. When the boss eats meat, how could he not share the soup with his underlings?

But who would have thought that Lin Dong would be so ruthless, turning his back on us like that!

The Thunder Rock Mountain Range are located 300 miles east of Yang City. They cover an extremely vast area and are home to a large number of Demonic Beast, as well as powerful beings comparable to Nirvana Stage expert. Therefore, the various Dynasties have chosen to join forces to explore them in depth.

With the Azure Sky Lotus (sub-body) as a top-tier Heaven-grade Spirit Treasure to conceal their aura, even those Nirvana Stage Demonic Beast could not detect the whereabouts of Lin Dong and his companions. Naturally, the six members of the Great Yan Dynasty ventured deeper into the interior at an extremely fast pace.

It was a valley formed by a huge, narrow crack. Not only was there a thick fog hanging over the valley, but thunder could also be heard constantly inside.

The dense power of lightning gathered together, even forming a dense silver lightning net within the valley, firmly sealing off the passage leading into the valley.

"Is this our destination Thunder Rock Valley? Come to think of it, we should be the first to arrive here, right? After all, those guys from Yang City are probably still struggling with wave after wave of Beast Tide in the mountains."

Above the Green Lotus, Qin Shi curiously surveyed the dangerous valley below.

"That's not necessarily true. Who knows, there might be a few annoying bedbugs hiding in some unseen corner?"

The refined and elegant young man at the head of the group gave a meaningful smile.

"Hehe, this friend has a keen sense of perception. It's just a pity that this road is blocked. Please turn back the way you came."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of figures appeared densely in front of the valley, seemingly poised to encircle and contain Lin Dong and his group.

"I am Hua Yun of the Xuanbing Dynasty / Wu Mo of the Dawu Dynasty!"

Two figures, whose auras were evenly matched, stepped out from the crowd.

"The Profound Ice Dynasty and the Great Wu Dynasty? They seem to be two High-Level Dynasty outside Yang City. The allure of the Ancient Key is indeed strong. I didn't expect that even they, thousands of miles away, would come here drawn by the scent of blood."

Mo Ling stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Just two trashy Nirvana Tribulation Realm cultivators who haven't even survived the Nirvana Stage."

Lin Dong his head, turned to the two figures in front of him, and said calmly, "Are you going to leave on your own, or should I send you away?"

Unsure of Lin Dong's strength, Hua Yun Wu Mo had initially planned to treat Lin Dong and his group of six with courtesy before resorting to force, but they were now thoroughly enraged by his rude behavior.

"Insolence/Arrogance!"

The two men, their faces contorted with anger, roared in unison, unleashing two sharp auras. "Boy, hurry up..."

"Hmph, stubborn and incorrigible, Great Desolation Sea Splitting Seal!"

Lin Dong didn't even look, and threw a punch.

"Buzz! Boom!"

A mighty torrent of Origin Energy flowed freely in the void, directly condensing into a vast ocean of Origin Energy. A massive radiant light seal, hundreds of feet in size, burst forth from the ocean and crashed down.

"What?! Two Yuan Nirvana Stage expert?!"

At the moment Lin Dong made his move, Hua Yun and Wu Mo finally Sense Stage the overwhelming Origin Energy fluctuations, which were at least ten times greater than those of the two of them!

"How is this possible? Why would a prodigy from such Super Dynasty descend upon this place and compete with us for this Ancient Key!"

At that moment, the anger on their faces was quickly replaced by horror.

"Demonic Extreme Ice Mountain!"

"Black Light Shield!"

A powerful Origin Energy burst forth from his body, and a black iceberg, exuding strength and solidity, solidified in front of Hua Yun. Immediately afterwards, dark light compressed into a huge ink-colored shield that spanned around the Wu Mo.

"Bang bang bang!"

Boundless light swept across, and the enormous light seal, hundreds of feet long, instantly crushed the black iceberg and the ink-black shield. Amidst shocked gazes, it slammed the two Senior Disciple Brothers of the High-Level Dynasty into the earth.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and two huge ravines rapidly stretched into the distance, with black smoke billowing from their bottoms.

"You're a disgrace to your High-Level Dynasty. Two High-Level Dynasty joining forces can't even defeat a small, Low-Level Dynasty like us. Trash."

Lin Dong glanced casually at the two huge dents below.

"Call out!"

The next second, the Azure Sky Lotus enveloped the group and crashed into the silver lightning net in the valley like lightning. The lightning net, which many Nirvana Stage expert feared like tigers, was as docile as livestock.

"What?! They're from the Low-Level Dynasty?! Pfft!!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun and Wu Mo, who had just climbed out of the ditch, suddenly blushed an unnatural crimson. Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, they coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Senior Disciple Brother Hua Yun! Senior Disciple Brother Wu Mo..."

The armies of the two great dynasties on one side rushed forward simultaneously.

As the cave dwelling of an Ancient Secret Treasure guardian, the massive Stone Hall deep within Thunder Rock Valley not only contains Ancient Key, but also a large number of Nirvana Pill, Spiritual Medicine, and even various rare treasures.

Inside the Stone Hall, wide corridors crisscross.

"We'll split up. You can collect the treasures on your own and then meet up in the main hall."

Lin Dong sniffed the rich fragrance of pills emanating from the depths of the corridor and turned his head to speak.

"Alright, see you in the main hall!"

The four of them, Mo Ling were already impatient, immediately chose a passage and rushed in. Before the large group of people behind them arrived, the six of them would find the greatest treasure by searching for it separately.

"Big brother, which passage do we take?"

Standing behind Lin Dong, Little Flame asked in a low voice.

"I can smell the aura of the Heaven Talisman Spirit Tree in this one."

Lin Dong pointed a finger and disappeared from the spot along with Little Flame.

The Heaven Talisman Spirit Tree, as a powerful spiritual object, produces Tree Pattern Talisman that can help Advanced Spirit Talisman Master advance to the Heaven Seal Master realm, making them comparable to Heavenly Symbol Master Nirvana Stage expert Realm.

Although Lin Dong has already reached the level of Three Seal Heaven Talisman Master, he will not easily let go of such a treasure that is beneficial to the cultivation of Mental Energy.

"Boom!"

The sturdy stone door was violently smashed open from the outside with a punch, and two figures quickly flew in. This was a Spiritual Medicine cultivation room with a strange fragrance, and large areas of rare Spiritual Medicine covered the dark soil.

In the center of the Sea of Spiritual Medicine, a withered ancient tree, resembling runes, stands proudly. Its vigorous branches are covered with Mysterious Rune that seem to have grown naturally, faintly possessing the divine power to Connecting Heaven.

"Heaven Talisman Spirit Tree!"

Lin Dong's eyes flickered, and he reached out to grab the withered ancient tree.
