Lin Yu saw the black sphere, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He quickly rushed over, picked up the black sphere, and put it into his storage ring.
He knew he had to leave this hellish place, and he wouldn't be afraid of any schemes or tricks the Golden Snake Monster might have.
After cleaning up the corpses, Lin Yu turned and ran out of the valley, quickly disappearing from sight.
With the death of the Golden Serpent Monster, his cave automatically sealed, and the black snakes that had been guarding the entrance all retreated, leaving the cave quiet.
But just a few minutes after Lin Yu left, a figure dressed in black robes appeared at the entrance of the cave. Looking at the spot where Lin Yu had disappeared, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed from his eyes.
The man in black robes was over two meters tall, with a handsome face and a sharply defined, angular face that exuded majesty and domineering presence. He was the young man who had saved the Golden Serpent Monster and the black snake woman at the waterfall.
After scanning the area, the young man fixed his gaze on the depths of the valley. His eyes narrowed slightly, and two cold glints shot out from the depths of his eyes. With a flicker, he flew into the valley.
Lin Yu was unaware that he had already dealt with the Golden Serpent Monster. As he flew to the foot of the waterfall, the curtain of water on the waterfall suddenly split open, and a fair, slender, and delicate arm emerged from it. This arm then reached towards the cliff deep within the waterfall, attempting to retrieve the Seed of the Medicine King.
"Damn old bastard, how dare you block my path to wealth! Don't blame me for being impolite!" Lin Yu's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. He roared and moved again, flying into the valley and rushing behind the waterfall to stop the black-robed youth.
"Hmm, there's actually the aura of a human martial artist here. Who is this person? How dare they set their sights on the Medicine King!"
The young man glanced at Lin Yu's trail, slightly surprised, but he didn't panic. He pushed off the rocks with his toes and shot towards the waterfall like an arrow.
Splash...
The young man rushed into the bushes behind the waterfall, his figure constantly moving through them, and soon he passed through the trees and appeared at the edge of the cliff.
Lin Yu watched as the young man appeared at the edge of the cliff, a look of shock flashing across his eyes. This young man seemed to be a martial artist as well, and his strength was far beyond that of ordinary martial artists. Even he himself could not withstand the young man's attack and could only retreat.
But now he was on the edge of a cliff, and the only option was to retreat. If he stayed here, he would surely die. Moreover, he had the King of Medicine Seeds, and he didn't want to waste them!
"Heh heh, kid, now that you've seen through my cultivation level, just surrender obediently. Don't resist, or even more people will die." The young man looked at Lin Yu's figure on the mountain wall, smiled faintly, and spoke with a rather arrogant tone.
Lin Yu was annoyed by the young man's mockery, but now was not the time to lose his temper. He took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and glared coldly at the young man, saying in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you? We've always kept to ourselves, why make things difficult for me?"
"Hmph, make things difficult for you? Who do you think you are? Do you think I need to keep to myself? You think too highly of yourself." The young man sneered, his tone extremely arrogant.
Lin Yu frowned immediately and sneered, "I may not be qualified to keep to myself, but aren't you also not qualified to keep to yourself?"
Lin Yu's words startled the young man, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Kid, you're saying I'm not qualified to keep to myself?"
"That's right, don't you have the right to speak to me?" Lin Yu sneered.
The young man, enraged, burst into laughter, shouting, "This is truly hilarious! This is the first time I've encountered someone like you. Do you even know who I am? Let me tell you, my name is Lu Qingyuan, and I am a direct descendant of the mysterious Lu Clan! Our Lu Clan can be considered one of the most powerful forces in the entire Southern Region! Even our clan leader is a peak Martial Emperor! How dare you speak to me like that? You're simply courting death!"
"Lu Clan?"
Lin Yu frowned slightly. What kind of sect was this? He had never heard of it before.
"Kid, do you know the Lu Clan?" Lu Qingyuan saw Lin Yu's expression and assumed Lin Yu was scared, so he sneered.
"I don't know." Lin Yu shook his head. Although he had heard of the Lu Clan, he did not know the clan leader.
"Since you don't know about our Lu Clan, why did you anger me and even kill the Golden Serpent Monster?"
Lin Yu smiled bitterly to himself, thinking that he had no choice but to kill the Golden Serpent Monster. He didn't want to provoke the Lu Clan, but now Lu Qingyuan was chasing after him relentlessly, clearly intending to wipe him out.
"If you want to kill me, you should at least investigate my background first."
Lin Yu said calmly, his tone still composed. He didn't want to cause trouble, but that didn't mean he was easy to bully.
"Hmph! What's there to investigate about your background? You killed so many members of my Lu clan, and you still dare to say you have nothing to show for it?" Lu Qingyuan sneered.
Lin Yu frowned slightly and said, "You know my background. I'm from the Heavenly Star Sect, a Martial Emperor realm expert. Is that enough for you to investigate thoroughly? If you think it's not enough, then investigate the identity of this young lady beside me. She should know more about her background than you do!"
Lin Yu opened his palm, inviting the woman in black to step forward.
"Who are you? Why are you in our medicinal herb garden? This is my Lu Clan's medicinal herb garden; no outsiders are allowed to enter!"
When the young man in black robes saw the girl in black in Lin Yu's palm, his pupils contracted slightly, and a look of apprehension flashed across his eyes.
Lin Yu smiled, knowing he had made the right move; the black-robed youth wouldn't dare provoke the black-clad girl.
The reason he used the girl in black as an excuse was that although the young man in black robes appeared to be a mysterious martial artist, he knew that this young man had a very powerful background. He was Core Disciple of a mysterious organization with a noble status, and he was someone that he could not afford to offend.
"You don't need to know who she is, you just need to know her background," Lin Yu said with a smile.
The black-robed youth's eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he carefully observed the black-clad girl beside Lin Yu for a long while before coldly snorting, "Little girl, I advise you not to provoke me, otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
The girl in black was pale and didn't speak. She just stood to the side with her head down, her body trembling involuntarily.
Lin Yu witnessed this scene and sighed softly.
