"Run, run, run..."
Blood-Eyed Venerable's followers were instantly scared out of their wits. They scattered in all directions and soon fled completely, not a single one remaining.
Lin Taichu watched the fleeing enemies and grinned. "It's good that they ran. Saves them from getting in the way..."
Then, he turned to look at the dragon vein in the distance.
At some point, the dragon vein had actually detached from the ground and was floating in the air.
The bead atop the dragon vein emitted an intense blood-red glow.
"Hm? This thing..." Lin Taichu froze for a moment, then his face lit up with delight. He laughed heartily. "This really is a priceless treasure. Today's battle was worth it."
Not long afterward, Lin Taichu returned to the Myriad Monster Sect. No one would come to invade them again, and he also wanted to return to the Myriad Monster Sect to get to the bottom of everything.
After returning to the Myriad Monster Sect, the sect master had already come out to welcome him. He was deeply grateful toward Lin Taichu.
"You're finally back. You had us worried sick."
"Yeah, while you were gone, we were on edge every day."
When the disciples of the sect saw Lin Taichu, they all breathed sighs of relief.
Lin Taichu nodded with a smile and asked, "Sect Master, why did you call me here?"
"Come with me." The sect master led Lin Taichu to the rear courtyard.
There stood a towering ancient tree in the rear courtyard. Its crown resembled clouds, shrouding the area in hazy green light. Amid its dense branches and leaves, the outline of an exquisite pavilion could faintly be seen.
Lin Taichu raised a brow. "There's actually a secret hidden here?"
"Hehe, you'll see soon enough." The sect master smiled.
"Please."
