After all that, I somehow managed to just miss my sister...
When Lin Xuan heard the news, he didn't feel disappointed; instead, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
His nerves, which had been on edge, finally relaxed.
Although failing to break through and suffering a backlash is no small matter, without suitable spirit medicine to replenish the body, it may be difficult to make any further progress in the future.
However, for Lin Xuan, this was not an extremely difficult task. With the system around, nothing was impossible.
As long as people are safe and alive, that's better than anything else.
The best news he received today was that his sister's life was safe.
He slowly exhaled, ceasing the conversation, and instead looked at the group before him, asking, "Are you planning to go to that ancient temple?"
"If you wish to go, you may travel with me."
Upon hearing this, the group immediately showed expressions of surprise and delight.
But this expression only lasted a moment; their eyes quickly dimmed again, and they waved their hands helplessly, declining Lin Xuan's offer.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" one of the men said hesitantly.
He had intended to address him as "Senior Brother," but Lin Xuan was clearly not someone who had entered the sect before him; otherwise, he would have remembered him.
But addressing him as junior brother...
Lin Xuan is far superior to them; how could he possibly have the nerve to do that?
Therefore, he ultimately chose a compromise, a fellow Daoist address that, while slightly distant, was at least not offensive.
"We are weak and injured; following you would only be a burden."
He sighed with a wry smile.
"Moreover... I found a spirit medicine that might help the Alliance Leader's injuries. We're no better off staying here than being crippled; we might as well return to Holy Heaven and bring the spirit medicine to the Alliance Leader first."
As he spoke, he took out the snow lotus he had harvested.
He wasn't worried that Lin Xuan might covet the spirit medicine he possessed.
While the Black-Crowned Snow Lotus is a valuable treasure, it's nothing special to a powerful figure like Lin Xuan.
After hearing what he said, Lin Xuan's eyes softened considerably.
He glanced at the Black-Crowned Snow Lotus in the man's hand.
This snow lotus spirit medicine is indeed a good healing medicine, but for Lin Yuechan's backlash from her breakthrough, it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.
It's not very useful.
Although these people said they wouldn't go, their eyes were filled with resentment. They only declined because they didn't want to be a burden.
He was fairly satisfied with these people.
They are able to support each other, never abandon any of their companions, and even risk their lives for his sister to this extent; there is almost nothing wrong with them.
Aside from being a little lacking in skill, there's nothing wrong with them.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "It's alright. The Black-Crowned Snow Lotus doesn't have much of a backlash effect on breaking through realms. You and I are both students of the Holy Heaven Academy, and we both come from the Moon Eve Alliance. We are meant to support each other."
"Bringing you along won't be a burden to me, so you can rest assured. Besides, the fortuitous opportunity is right in front of us, so why wouldn't we seize it?"
They were injured because of their sister, so he was willing to give them a fortuitous opportunity.
Furthermore, their increased strength also means an increase in the strength of the Moon Eve Alliance.
Seeing that Lin Xuan had gone this far, it would be ungrateful of them to refuse.
The group thanked Lin Xuan repeatedly, bowing repeatedly, and gritted their teeth as they agreed.
"Then we thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist."
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "There's no need to call me Fellow Daoist. My name is Lin Xuan; you can just call me by my name."
His friendly attitude eased the tension in their hearts a little.
The leader, named Wen Ling, bowed to Lin Xuan.
"Brother Lin, then we will accept your offer without hesitation."
After all, it's impossible not to be tempted by such a great fortuitous opportunity.
At the same time, they were also filled with gratitude towards Lin Xuan.
If it weren't for Lin Xuan, they wouldn't have even been able to witness the fortuitous opportunity within the ancient palace, let alone escape this life-or-death ordeal.
As Lin Xuan moved forward, the group's fatigue gradually subsided, and their curiosity began to stir as they looked at the figure ahead.
They were very puzzled: why would someone like Lin Xuan join the Moon Eve Alliance?
Although they felt that their Moon Eve Alliance was in a very good position, they had to admit that the Moon Eve Alliance was in a very difficult situation and was almost on the verge of disbanding.
At least, that was the case when they left the alliance.
This fellow Daoist Lin clearly had better options, yet he became a member of the Moon Eve Alliance. Could it be...?
Is he a suitor for the alliance leader?
However, despite their speculations, they didn't dare to actually ask Lin Xuan, swallowing all their guesses.
They remained silent the entire way.
soon.
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
After slaying several more demons, the group trekked for a long time and finally arrived at the entrance of the ancient temple.
At this moment, quite a few people have already gathered here.
Looking around, there were quite a few people from the Ten Great Saint Heavens, as well as other sects, forces, and Rogue Cultivator.
Wen Ling walked behind Lin Xuan, glanced around, and spotted a man in a dark robe and a jade crown in the crowd. His face lit up with joy.
"Brother Lin, it's Senior Brother Yu Wei! Senior Brother Yu actually came too!"
Following the sound of his voice, Lin Xuan noticed the man who looked imposing and dignified.
Among the disciples of the Primordial Holy Heaven, he stood out from the crowd, surpassing everyone else in both appearance and temperament.
Beside him was a beautiful woman, who was whispering something to him.
The monk had sharp hearing and keen eyesight.
Wen Ling didn't suppress her voice, Yu Wei naturally heard it.
He looked over at the sound and noticed the group of people covered in injuries who looked extremely unlucky. He frowned, spoke to the people around him, and walked over.
"People from the Supreme Institute?"
"With your meager cultivation levels, how dare you come here seeking fortuitous opportunity?"
He was somewhat displeased. He came from Heaven-Reaching Institute and had reached the peak of the Heavenly Venerable Perfection realm, second only to the Ten Saints in terms of strength!
Now that the Ten Saints are not on the Demon Battlefield, he naturally regards himself as the leader of the Primordial Holy Heaven here.
The students of the Primordial Holy Heaven who came here naturally all regarded him as their leader.
"Fine, since you're here, follow my instructions and don't act on your own!"
"Although this is the ancient hall of the Severed Meridians Sect, Saint Artifact for suppressing demons, it is also a training ground for the Human Race, fraught with danger."
"Don't think you're something special just because you've held back a few tricks. The dangers of this Demon Battlefield far exceed your imagination."
When Yu Wei said his last sentence, he looked at Lin Xuan. In his eyes, only this guy was barely passable; the rest were trash.
If they obediently follow me, I might give them some fortuitous opportunity; if they don't listen...
Heh, let them fend for themselves.
After he finished speaking, he turned and left, his arrogant attitude causing the members of the Eve Moon Alliance to frown.
"What's so great about him? Senior Brother Lin's strength is not necessarily inferior to his, nor is he as arrogant as him."
A woman in the Eve Moon Alliance muttered to herself. She was also a student who had only recently joined the Eve Moon Alliance. She was considered to be one of the more talented students in the Supreme Institute, so it was not wrong for her to call Lin Xuan" Senior Brother".
But Wen Ling stopped him with a wry smile before he could finish his sentence.
"Junior Sister Lu Qiuyan, you'd better say less. It wouldn't be good if Senior Brother Yu heard you."
"What's there to be afraid of? Why should he be in charge here? With Senior Brother Lin here... mmm mmm."
Lu Qiuyan was a spoiled young woman. She had only said a few words with her hands on her hips and glaring at others when another woman helplessly covered her mouth.
Lin Xuan shook his head and chuckled as he looked at everything before him. For him, the most important thing was the fortuitous opportunity within this ancient hall.
Whether or not someone is the leader is not important.
