"Alright, Little Silver, you should stop now," Lin Yu said.
"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Little Silver immediately flew back from the monsters and returned to Lin Yu's shoulder.
"Brother Lin Yu, you saw what just happened. Although I don't know how my identity was leaked, it's best to keep this kind of thing a secret for a while, otherwise it might cause some trouble."
"Don't worry, I have ways to protect myself. Besides, this has nothing to do with you. As long as these monsters don't provoke us, I won't easily tell anyone," Lin Yu said. "How about this, let's go back first. We can leave things here to others for now; there's nothing wrong with it anyway."
"Well, let's go back then," Elder Li replied, then turned and left.
"You're all coming back with me," Lin Yu said to the group of demonic beasts.
"Yes, Your Great Emperor!" The demon beasts bowed respectfully and then dispersed.
Upon returning to Qinglong City, Lin Yu immediately went to the Chen family.
Chen Hai, the patriarch of the Chen family, is also the sect leader of the Azure Dragon Sect and a genuine Saint King stage expert.
"You wanted to see me? What's up?" Chen Hai looked at Lin Yu and asked, puzzled.
"Well, I've run into some trouble and need your help. I was wondering if you'd be willing?" Lin Yu asked.
"You mean those demonic beasts? Don't worry, they've been controlled by your supernatural powers and won't bother you now," Chen Hailian said, then waved his hand, drawing a route in front of Lin Yu.
"This road leads to the outer perimeter of our Azure Dragon Sect's mountain gate. If you just travel north along this road, you'll soon see those demonic beasts. If you can drive them away, I'll agree to help you," Chen Hai said, looking at Lin Yu.
"Okay, I'll go right now!" Lin Yu nodded and headed towards the route Chen Hai had indicated.
Lin Yu followed that path northward until sunset.
"Huh? Those monsters didn't chase after us?"
Just as Lin Yu was about to rest, he suddenly noticed an unusual fluctuation coming from the distant mountains.
"Could some treasure have been unearthed along this route?"
With a thought, Lin Yu arrived at the mountain range and looked towards it. Sure enough, a strange change had occurred somewhere in the mountain range. There, a huge black bead was suspended in mid-air, emitting a dazzling light, and the fluctuation was emanating from the depths of that black bead.
"What is this?" Lin Yu wondered to himself, then slowly approached the black bead, simultaneously activating the Starry Sky Technique within his body.
"Boom!"
Just then, a thunderclap suddenly rang out, followed by an immense pressure erupting from the black bead.
Under this oppressive force, even Lin Yu's figure swayed slightly.
"Such a powerful and imposing aura."
Lin Yu was deeply shocked. That kind of pressure was even stronger than that of his master, Daoist Ziyun. It was likely that apart from his master, there were few beings in Qingzhou who could match this aura.
"This thing is definitely not ordinary; it might even be a legendary Immortal Artifact," Lin Yu guessed to himself.
However, this aura was extremely strong, making it impossible to detect clearly, and it did not dissipate, nor could it be absorbed.
"What is this thing?! How can it emit such a powerful pressure?" Lin Yu wondered to himself.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Yu tried circulating the Starry Sky Technique within his body, attempting to absorb this peculiar pressure.
"Huh, why isn't it working!"
Lin Yu thought to himself, but he quickly came to terms with it. After all, the Starry Sky Technique was Lin Yu's secret, Lin Yu himself did not know its mysteries. It was obviously impossible for him to absorb this strange bead by relying on the Starry Sky Technique.
"Never mind that for now, I need to go back to my Lineage first."
Lin Yu decided to return to his Lineage.
"Brother Lin Yu, I'll take my leave now. I'll look forward to your good news." Chen Hai cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lin Yu.
"Hmm." Lin Yu nodded.
Afterwards, Chen Hai bid farewell to Lin Yu and then left with the cultivators from the Chen family.
"Hmph, that Chen Hai is definitely involved in this matter." Lin Yu cursed inwardly, but since things had already developed to this point, Lin Yu could only place his hopes on this mysterious black bead.
Upon returning to Qinglong City, Lin Yu went straight to his Lineage.
" Lin Yu greets the family head and his father!" Lin Yu bowed to the two elders, but did not see Old Master Lin.
"You're back. I just went out for a bit; I had some things to take care of," said Old Master Lin.
"Oh? What's wrong?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled.
"Well, I can't tell you that right now. Just stay home and we'll discuss it after this is all settled."
"Huh?" Lin Yu was taken aback, wondering why Old Master Lin had suddenly brought this up.
Judging from Old Master Lin's expression, Lin Yu guessed that this matter must be related to the Chen family, but he didn't know how it had to do with him.
Old Master Lin was a smart man. Since he hadn't told him, he must have his own reasons. Although Lin Yu was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home!" Lin Yu nodded and said.
"Well, don't come looking for me during this time. I have some things to take care of. I'll contact you when I'm done." Old Master Lin waved his hand, signaling Lin Yu to leave.
"Yes!" Lin Yu bowed and then turned to leave.
"Little one, I know about your situation. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you!" The old man's voice echoed in Lin Yu's mind shortly after he left the Lin residence.
"Thank you very much, sir!" Lin Yu said, cupping his hands in thanks, feeling very gratified.
"Haha, why are you being so polite with me? There's no need for such formality between us," the old man said with a hearty laugh.
Lin Yu then arrived at the group of monsters.
Looking at the densely packed hordes of demonic beasts before him, a surge of pride suddenly welled up within him. He wanted to see just how far he had progressed.
With that thought in mind, Lin Yu no longer hesitated. He vanished in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already among the monster horde.
Although there were many of these demonic beasts, they were all low-level demonic beasts. Lin Yu easily killed these low-level demonic beasts and quickly dealt with them all, then cleaned up their corpses and put them in his storage ring.
Lin Yu then charged upwards again.
He was going to defeat the Demon Beast King, because only the Demon Beast King was qualified to be Lin Yu's challenger.
Lin Yu's figure kept changing as he traversed through space.
Although his cultivation has now reached the peak of the early stage of Sword Sect and he has even comprehended sword intent, his understanding of the Dao of Space is still at the beginner level, a fact he is well aware of.
He dared not be too flamboyant, otherwise he would be in danger if he encountered a master or a monster, and his fate would be tragic. Therefore, Lin Yu's speed was not fast.
