Chapter 212 - 187: Return to Kunwu Mountain (Seeking Monthly Passes) _1

As we get close to Li Wenxuan, the Cloud Walk avatar shoots an arrow.

The Cloud Walk avatar cannot bring forth the power of the Chasing Star Arrow.

To exhibit the real power of a martial art technique, it requires a corresponding meridian network system to work together.

Yet, the Cloud Walk avatar does not have the corresponding meridian network system.

However, since the consciousness of the avatar is also Lu Yan’s, his skill in archery, although not enough to display the full strength of the Chasing Star Arrow, is still sufficient to make the arrow shot by the avatar impressive by virtue of his superior archery skills.

Clang!

A silhouette appears near Li Wenxuan, deflecting the arrow.

Then, another silhouette rushes towards the Cloud Walk avatar.

It’s a green-haired elder whom they had never seen before. His speed is incredibly fast, even faster than the Cloud Walk avatar.

Even if Lu Yan himself were here, his speed would probably not match the green-haired elder’s.

Despite trying its best, the Cloud Walk avatar is not able to dodge the green-haired elder and gets hit by a palm strike.

The Cloud Walk avatar kicks out, meeting the incoming palm. The powerful palm force sends the Cloud Walk avatar flying back.

Whizz!

A short spear flies in like a bolt of lightning.

The Cloud Walk avatar, in a split-second decision, rolls backward to avoid the short spear, but the green-haired elder quickly follows up. A palm strikes down on the avatar’s shoulder, causing half of its body to explode instantly.

Then, the short spear flies in again, piercing the avatar’s chest and pinning it to the ground.

"What the hell is this?"

Looking at the torn up body of the Cloud Walk avatar, without a drop of blood, and seemingly not flesh and bone, the green-haired elder is astonished.

This thing called avatar is beyond the green-haired elder’s understanding.

An Iron Armor Grandmaster arrives and seeing the damaged avatar he also looks serious.

They have never seen or heard of anything like this.

"Take this wrecked body back for research."

The green-haired elder says and reaches out to grab the torn up avatar.

But the next moment, his face drastically changes, shouting: "Retreat!"

He retreats quickly with the Iron Armor Grandmaster.

Boom!

The crippled Cloud Walk avatar explodes, creating a large hole in the ground.

"What a shame, if these two hadn’t reacted as fast, I might have inflicted serious damage."

In the distance, Lu Yan sighs and quietly slips away.

It was indeed a trap.

In addition to the strong competitors from the last time, the Spirit Sect has an enormously skilled green-haired elder. If Lu Yan had gone out in person just now, he would have been doomed.

Moreover, aside from the green-haired elder, who knows how many other skilled people were hidden.

He has tried his best.

He knows that the Tuoba Clan is no longer saved, it’s destined for destruction.

"Kill!"

Cries of attack shake the sky.

The green-haired elder’s power is overwhelming. After he enters the battle, he destroys five refined corpses in succession.

Including the one that was split in half by the cloaked man last time, the Tuoba Clan has lost six refined corpses.

Their high-end combat force can no longer hold back the Li Family and Gao Family.

The two clans send in their grandmasters, and the Tuoba Clan collapses like a landslide.

Lu Yan rushes back to Changfeng City like a gust of wind.

With the Tuoba Clan’s fall, they must prepare as soon as possible.

When Lu Yan returns to Changfeng City and reports the situation of the Tuoba Clan, the faces of Li Wenxin and Li Xingchen become extremely grim.

Once the Tuoba Clan is defeated, the Li and Gao families will march northward swiftly. They have nothing to counteract that force; it’s like trying to stop a car with a mantis’s arm.

Moreover, the Wei Family in the north won’t last much longer either, destruction is imminent.

"Our strength is lacking. We must increase our power as soon as possible. Unfortunately, my cultivation level is still a bit short of reaching the peak of Martial Marquis Level Five. I need at least two more months, but we don’t have that kind of time, especially since the Ink Jade Heart Bead and Phoenix Blood Heart Protective Soup are not yet prepared."

As he was thinking, Li Quan came hastily and looked a bit upset.

"Lord Mayor..."

Li Quan glanced at Li Wenxin and Li Xingchen, stuttering.

"Let’s talk outside."

Lu Yan said, leading Li Quan to a secret room.

"Sir, the Martial Chef Grandmaster from the Ding Family has refused to help you cook martial food."

Li Quan reported.

Lu Yan’s face darkened, "Why?"

He had sent people to contact the Martial Chef Grandmaster from the Ding Family a long time ago, promising a generous amount of money. Finally, the chef agreed, stating that as soon as he finished his current work, he would help Lu Yan prepare the Ink Jade Heart Bead and Phoenix Blood Heart Protective Soup.

Why did he suddenly change his mind now?

Zijing County is currently peaceful and the only county in Lingdong that remains stable.

"His reply was that due to the current crisis in Lingdong, although Zijing County is still peaceful, it’s better to be safe than sorry. He will dedicate all his effort to help the Ding Family prepare martial food to amass strength and will not assist others during this time."

Li Quan answered.

The look on Lu Yan’s face was somber.

If the Martial Chef Grandmaster of the Ding Family won’t assist, then there is no hope for help from the one of the Zhao Clan either.

Right now, the Zhao Clan is besieged by monsters. Their situation is difficult and they certainly won’t help others to prepare martial food.

As for the third Martial Chef Grandmaster, who is elusive as a dragon, Lu Yan had asked Li Quan to find information on him some time ago but there has been no progress.

Without the Ink Jade Heart Bead and Phoenix Blood Heart Protective Soup, should he just try for a direct breakthrough?

Even though he has cultivated the Heart Tempering Decision technique to the eighth layer, he is not completely confident.

"Given the current state of affairs, I must increase my power as soon as possible. There are only two ways to do this quickly."

"One is to make a breakthrough in cultivation. Once I become a grandmaster, I would be free to travel over the six counties of Lingdong."

"The second is to integrate martial arts. If I can integrate top martial arts, it will also greatly enhance my strength."

Lu Yan began to quickly think in his mind.

The main issue was not knowing how many martial arts techniques were needed to integrate into top martial arts. If it was still nine, then he already had seven knife techniques to reach the Unity of Man and Martial Arts, needing only two more.

The remaining two had both condensed into avatars, but what they lacked was energy.

How could he elevate both knife techniques to the Unity of Man and Martial Arts in a short amount of time?

Lu Yan pondered and gradually formed a plan in his mind.

Go to Kunwu Mountain and seize the Immortal Bone.

With just a single Immortal Bone, he could quickly raise the remaining two top-tier knife techniques to the realm of Unity of Man and Martial Arts.

By then, he could try to integrate into top martial arts.

If worst comes to worst, he’d find a way to break the Grandmaster.

Once the decision was made, Lu Yan instructed Li Quan on a few things. After Li Quan left, Lu Yan went to meet Li Wenxin and Li Xingchen.

This time, Lu Yan directly confessed about the matter of the second-tier Hidden Blood Land Vein.

Upon hearing this, Li Wenxin and Li Xingchen, were stunned for quite a while before they could react.

What a move by Lu Yan, concealing such a second-tier Hidden Blood Land Vein.

No wonder he wanted to be the lord of Changfeng City.

"You two, that second-tier Hidden Blood Land Vein is incredibly secret. Not many people know about it. You bring people along and enter it, stay there for the future without coming out. If Li Wenxuan brings people to Changfeng City, let them have it."

Said Lu Yan.

His plan was to allow all the important people to hide in the Hidden Blood Land Vein first.

And he, will first head to Kunwu Mountain.

He would hand Changfeng City over to Li Wenxuan, or whoever it might be.

When his strength increases, he would take it back.

The second-tier Hidden Blood Land Vein has two passages.

One is within the big mountain, linked to the ancient relics. It’s extremely hidden and hard to find.

The other one is in a crevice on Changfeng Mountain.

That crevice, most of it was blocked by Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo. They covered it with mud and weeds, which over the years has grown into a thicket, leaving no trace behind.

Leaving only a small entrance.

Once everyone was inside, that entrance would be disguised. It should be hard to find.

Having prepared food and water in advance, it’s no problem to stay in there for a year or more.

But it’s not without risks.

After all, Liu Zhenshuo and the high-ranking members of the Liu Family know about the second Hidden Blood Land Vein in Changfeng Mountain.

The fear is not Zhangfeng City being occupied by the Qiu Family or the Li Family, but if the Liu Family sent people back, they will definitely look for the second Hidden Blood Land Vein. That would pose a danger.

Therefore, he must be fast.

He must increase his strength in the shortest possible time and rush back to Changfeng City.

Li Wenxuan and Li Xingchen thought for a while, nodded their heads, and discussed some details with Lu Yan.

That night, they began to act.

Taking advantage of the night, they entered the Blood Land Vein one by one.

Of course, it wouldn’t be possible for everyone to enter. Only some of the important figures and some experts in the martial army.

Lu Yan’s parents, some disciples of the Sanjue Martial Arts Hall, and their families.

Li Wenxin, Li Xingchen, Wang Dao, their families, and others were all separated and entered.

The remaining martial army continued to guard Changfeng City and maintain public order.

Three days later, everything was ready.

Lu Yan slung the bullhorn bow and the Red Blood Blade on his back, left Changfeng City and headed for Kunwu Mountain in Qingfeng County.

Half a day later, Lu Yan arrived outside Kunwu Mountain.

Lu Yan didn’t rush to go in, but rather found a hidden place, ate a piece of Dried Martial Food, adjusted his state, and quietly waited for darkness.

Time flew by, night fell, the sky was sparsely dotted with stars and a crescent moon. The light was dim, most suitable for nighttime activity.

Lu Yan wore a black outfit that flickered like a ghost, entering the territory of Kunwu Mountain.

Unlike the last time he came in.

Last time, it was agreed upon by the Grandmasters from both sides. As long as they didn’t enter the core area of Kunwu Mountain, the Beast King of the mountain would not interfere.

But usually, as long as someone steps into the boundaries of Kunwu Mountain, they will be attacked by the Beast King.

And those common Alien Beasts inside the mountain are the Beast King’s spies.

Once discovered by the common Alien Beasts, it’s estimated that it will quickly be reported to the Beast King.

So, if he wanted to sneak in safely and get the Immortal Bone, he couldn’t be discovered by any Alien Beasts.

Lu Yan concealed his aura and held his breath. He maneuvered between the mountains and forests, leaping on the big trees. Every leap would get him a hundred meters ahead.

Every time he moved forward, Lu Yan stopped to observe the surroundings and the sky.

The most important part was the sky.

If they were flying Alien Beasts in the sky, they could easily detect him.

Fortunately, at night, many Alien Beasts rest, including some flying ones.

In the mountains and forests, only a few Alien Beasts active during the night were seen.

After about three hours, Lu Yan had already penetrated sixty to seventy li into Kunwu Mountain, close to the core area.

After moving forward a little more, a beautiful sea of flowers appeared before his eyes.

Crimson Jade Flower Sea.

Those Alien Beasts embedded with the Immortal Bone were inside the Crimson Jade Flower Sea.

Lu Yan lay down on the ground and observed for a bit. After confirming that there was nothing unusual around, he quietly sneaked into the Flower Sea. Then he connected with the Dao Book, trying to sense the location of the Immortal Bone.

No response.

"Perhaps the distance is too far to be sensed."

Lu Yan thought to himself, randomly selected a direction, and quietly moved forward.

About ten li later, he connected with the Dao Book again.

This time, he got a response.

(Folks, it’s the end of the month. If you have monthly tickets, give them away. Don’t waste them)
