Fortunately, no one in the Good Valley was injured; otherwise, Qin Jian, as the Garrison Commander, would have been in serious trouble.
" Lin Yi... should be Barbarian God. It also came for the raw materials of the Martial Saint Pill."
After Gu Tianxue was promoted to Martial Saint, her perception ability was also quite strong. She pointed to a towering Black Wind in the distant army of Monster.
Lin Yi nodded.
According to records, every time the Black Mountain secret realm opened, the Barbarian God would come to get a share of the spoils.
This Monster loves to gain without effort and steal people's harvest.
The last time the Black Mountain secret realm opened, the Tongguan Tong Pass Guardian, who held the highest rank, fought a fierce battle with the Barbarian God.
Despite possessing the Tongguan Treasure Hand, the Garrison Commander, a Martial Saint of strength, was not defeated, but was still asked to give up one-third of the spoils.
Now that someone has emerged from the secret realm, this Barbarian God clearly intends to repeat his old tricks and extort money from them again.
"Go back to me first."
Lin Yi glanced at the towering Black Wind, but didn't take it seriously, and led Gu Tianxue back to the camp.
After becoming Martial Saint, Lin Yi's confidence increased considerably. He felt that even though he was using the identity of Qin Jian and his methods were limited, he could still fight against the Barbarian God.
At this moment, a group of half-step Martial Saint saw Lin Yi return and hurriedly stepped forward to surround him, saying, " Town Guardian Qin, how was your harvest?"
" Lord Qin, we had a prior agreement that if there were any surplus Martial Saint Pill raw materials, I would purchase them at a high price using Source Stone..."
Normally, these half-step Martial Saint, who were of noble status, were now like merchants, all crowding around Lin Yi, afraid that they would miss the opportunity to become Martial Saint Pill.
Lin Yi frowned and reassured everyone, "Gentlemen, Monster Monster are currently besieging the canyon. Why don't we wait until we deal with them before discussing the Martial Saint Pill's Path with you? Rest assured, Qin have made considerable gains in this secret realm, and I am sure most of you will be satisfied."
This reassured everyone, and the crowd quieted down a bit.
From the crowd, the Kui Ba Shijian spoke up, asking, " Town Guardian Qin, I wonder how my senior brother is doing in the secret realm? Have you seen him?"
"No, but I think it's fine."
Seeing that Chen Muer's two sworn brothers also wanted to ask, Lin Yi added, "After I entered the secret realm, I separated from them and did not encounter anyone."
Although Lin Yi used his Martial Spirit to save Zhuge Jiujian and Chen Muer that day, he paid no further attention to the two.
But these two aren't fools. After being seriously injured, they probably won't dare to explore the Black Mountain secret realm again. It shouldn't be difficult for them to stay alive by being careful.
An old half-step Martial Saint said, "Don't ask about the secret realm. I think we should prioritize discussing how to deal with the Monster army outside the canyon. Otherwise, when the Monster attack, all the Martial Saint Pill will be for naught."
"I also think that Monster are the real threat. I wonder if the people of the Tai Shang Family are capable of this, as exterminating Monster is their duty."
"The Supreme Being just Tai Shangxun to this place, but he's nowhere to be found..."
Lin Yi glanced around the crowd but couldn't find Tai Shangxun.
That guy, he got away pretty fast.
Another half-step Martial Saint spoke up and asked, " Town Guardian Qin, do you have the confidence to deal with that Barbarian God from the West Mountain Southern Domain?"
Upon hearing this, all the half-step Martial Saint fell silent and looked at Lin Yi.
Although there are many Monster surrounding the canyon, the greatest danger is only that one god-level Monster from the West Mountain Southern Domain — the Barbarian God.
If even Qin Jian, wielding the Tongguan Treasure, cannot defeat the Barbarian God, then they should probably be thinking about how to escape the canyon and survive.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Yi remained calm and chuckled softly, then cupped his hands and said, " Qin am not talented, but I was fortunate enough to break through to become Martial Saint in the secret realm. In my eyes, that Qin Barbarian God is not worth mentioning."
Martial Saint?
Everyone was stunned until Lin Yi released a trace of Martial Saint aura, at which point all the half-step Martial Saint showed expressions of shock.
This Town Guardian Qin has actually broken through to become Martial Saint!
Others may not understand the difficulty of breaking through to the Martial Saint, but surely these half-step Martial Saint understand it?
Even with the extremely precious Martial Saint Pill, breaking through to the Martial Saint still carries immense risks.
At best, it will cause a decline in martial arts cultivation; at worst, it will damage the foundation and sever the path of martial arts.
This Town Guardian Qin must have encountered an incredible opportunity within the secret realm, otherwise how could he dare to break through to the Martial Saint realm within the secret realm!
Upon hearing that Lin Yi had broken through to the Martial Saint, the many half-step Martial Saint present displayed a variety of expressions, some of which were envious, while others showed joy at the fact that the Monster was no longer a threat.
After all, the stronger Qin Jian is, the less the Monster on the outer edge of the canyon are to worry about.
"As expected of Martial Saint, we congratulate Town Guardian Qin!"
"In that case, those Monster are nothing!"
" Town Guardian Qin truly lives up to his reputation as the Gu Family Son-in-Law. Apart from those prodigies in Martial Saint City, there are probably few who can rival Town Guardian Qin!"
"Among the twelve Garrison Commander, I think Town Guardian Qin is quite remarkable, ranking among the top three..."
The crowd showered him with compliments, all eager to make a good impression on Lin Yi.
The difference between half-step Martial Saint level Garrison Commander and Martial Saint level Garrison Commander is vast. Now that Qin Jian has become Martial Saint at the young age of 18, and with the backing of Tongguan Prefecture, he may become a figure they look up to in the future.
If we don't befriend them now, we might never have the chance again.
" Town Guardian Qin, you've actually become Martial Saint. You must have obtained a complete Martial Saint Pill?"
After realizing that the Monster was no longer a threat, everyone became concerned about the gains in Lin Yi Yi's secret realm.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Gentlemen, how about we let Qin resolve the demon scourge first, and then discuss the matter of the Martial Saint Pill?"
Everyone suppressed their excitement and dared not ask any more questions.
At this moment, after the enormous Four-Star Black Crow Monster King cried out to deliver the message, it once again circled above the canyon, scanning the tiny human Martial Saint below with its blood-red bird eyes.
Like the Black Flame Tiger, this Four-Star Black Crow Monster King also coveted human flesh and blood.
However, due to the Barbarian God's instructions, it dared not act prematurely.
But just then, it suddenly noticed a figure disappear in the crowd, and the next moment, a dark shadow appeared on its head.
"Oh no, this is bad!"
The Four-Star Black Crow Monster King was horrified. Just as it was about to flap its wings and escape, it felt a huge, heavy object smash down on its head, and its entire body tumbled and fell from the sky.
With a loud bang, black feathers flew everywhere, and its massive body crashed into the dust of the canyon.
The Four-Star Black Crow Monster King tried to raise its head, only to see the human who attacked it place a golden Tong Pass on its head, rendering it completely immobile.
"It's one thing for it to fly over my head once, but to do it a second time? It's like it's asking for death!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He had held back seven-tenths of his strength and hadn't killed it, lest this four-star Demon King be reduced to Drops.
At this moment, the half-step Martial Saint flashed over and were shocked to see that a huge four-star Demon King with soaring demonic energy was instantly suppressed by Lin Yi.
It seems that after Town Guardian Qin broke through to the Martial Saint, his strength became even more terrifying.
The moment Lin Yi disappeared, even those who were right next to him didn't react in time.
" Town Guardian Qin, if we attack the Monster now, won't that anger the Barbarian God?"
"What a joke! Town Guardian Qin has his own plans. Why are you being so nosy?"
"Yes, we'll have to fight the Monster sooner or later anyway, it doesn't matter whether we fight sooner or later."
"Isn't the Saint Shanhe still in the secret realm? I think once he appears and Town Guardian Qin it, our chances of success will be even greater..."
Hearing the debate, Lin Yi did not answer. Instead, he summoned his city garrison Captain and ordered them to kill and dismember the Four-Star Black Crow Monster King.
However, at this moment, a Black Wind rose into the sky from afar, instantly changing the color of the world, and a domineering voice came from the Black Wind.
"You humans are asking for death for daring to harm my vanguard!"
Clearly, that Barbarian God could no longer contain himself.
Lin Yi lifted the golden Tong Pass, then stepped on the Black Crow Demon King's head and said to the Black Wind in the sky, " Barbarian God, last time you attacked Tong Pass and injured me. Today I have successfully broken through to the Martial Saint. How dare you still be so presumptuous!"
Gu Tianxue, who had already arrived at the Gu Family's gathering place, looked at the arrogant Lin Yi and revealed a smile.
She had previously advised Lin Yi that if Qin Jian wanted to gain the favor of Tongguan Prefecture Martial Saint City, he had to demonstrate sufficient talent and arrogance.
In retrospect, Lin Yi acted quite well.
If Lin Yi can defeat the Barbarian God in front of everyone and protect them.
Without her creating any hype, Qin Jian's name would resound throughout the entire Ancient Domain within a few days.
Amidst the swirling Black Wind tornado of flying sand and stones, the Barbarian God was furious.
"Heh, arrogant. So what if you're Martial Saint? Over the years, I've devoured at least eight or ten thousand Martial Saint. How dare you, a mere ant who has just entered the Martial Saint, be so arrogant in front of me?"
"Exaggerate!"
Lin Yi genuinely thought this Barbarian God was quite boastful. Even the Martial Saint of the Ancient Domain combined didn't have eight thousand, yet this guy, a mere Yao God, had consumed eight thousand.
"Hmph! Release the Black Crow, and spit out all the spirit Spirit Herb you harvested in the secret realm, and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, all the humans present here today will die!"
"Nonsense! As the Tong Pass Guardian Qin, how could I possibly compromise with Monster like you!"
"Humans, my patience is limited!"
"Then let's have a fight!"
Lin Yi was too lazy to say anything more. He stomped the Black Crow Demon King beneath him until it was half dead, then took the Tongguan Treasure and flew into the sky, heading straight for the Barbarian God.
"You asked for it!"
The Barbarian God in the black sand frowned.
Don't be fooled by its rambling and slow pace; it's actually afraid to kill the Garrison Commander, since the Ancient Domain and it had made an agreement long ago.
Small-scale scrambling is fine, but serious action is not.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jian seemed genuinely interested in fighting it to the death.
Very well, let's teach this Garrison Commander a lesson.
We'll beat them half to death, leaving them alive so we can teach the Ancient Domain humans a lesson!
Once he made up his mind, the Barbarian God made his move instantly.
" Black Wind Force!"
The sound was like a giant bear that had been sleeping for millions of years suddenly awakening, filled with boundless anger and rage.
In an instant, a massive Black Wind Sand converged into a gigantic bear claw, hurtling towards Lin Yi.
The Barbarian God unleashed a deadly attack, causing a massive upheaval in the heavens and earth, and even the space itself seemed to be torn apart by the claws of wind and sand.
Those below felt the world darken at that moment, and the Black Wind from all directions rushed towards them like endless blades, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Many people looked terrified.
