Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 252

That night, Xuanling Island, Gu family camp.

Inside the tent, Gu Yan suddenly opened her eyes, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes. Just now, she had a feeling that someone was watching her, but now it had completely disappeared.

Suddenly, Gu Yan's eyes focused, and she realized that there seemed to be a strange murderous intent around her, and there was also a faint fishy smell.

"Girl, it seems like you are in trouble?"

At this moment, a voice with a hint of laughter suddenly sounded, causing Gu Yan's face to change. She stared somewhere with a bit more coldness in her eyes.

"You were the ones spying in the dark just now? What do you want to do?"

"Miss, you seem to have misunderstood. I didn't attack you. In fact, if I really wanted to attack you, there would be no need to go through so much trouble to control a large group of monsters. I alone am enough to kill all the strong men from all the major forces on the island."

Lin Dong walked out of the darkness with his arms folded, speaking nonchalantly, but Gu Yan did not doubt his words, because she sensed the strength of the young man in front of her, who was at the peak of the Nirvana Realm and at the same time, a powerful talisman master at the peak of the Heavenly Talisman Master.

His cultivation of both his Yuan force and mental force is so profound that his strength is at least enough to fight against ordinary Shengxuan realm masters.

Not to mention, the sturdy man hiding in the darkness behind him, who was like a giant, had the aura of a Shengxuan realm, plus another young man who was completely undetectable.

Gu Yan had no doubt at all that if the three people in front of her were willing, they could really kill their way through the entire Xuanling Island, and almost no one could be their match.

"Do you know the girl's name?"

"My humble self is Gu Yan. Nice to meet you three. May I know your names?"

Gu Yan raised her head and clasped her fists. Although it seemed a bit impolite for these three people to visit her at night, compared with her life and property, these were nothing.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Dong, and these two are my brothers, Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan."

Lin Dong smiled and took the initiative to sit down cross-legged on the side. Then, he glanced in the direction of the tent and said with a smile.

"Miss Gu Yan, I wonder why you came to Xuanling Island?"

Gu Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, not quite understanding what Lin Dong meant by this question. Who among the people who came to this island didn’t come for the Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit?

The three people in front of me seemed to have no idea? Or did they have other thoughts?
Shaking her head secretly, Gu Yan threw all those thoughts out of her mind and said with a wry smile.

"This time, I was originally the one leading the team to transport the goods, but on the way I received intelligence that there was Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit on this Xuanling Island, so I took the initiative to lead the team here."

"You mean, you got the news suddenly, instead of your Gu family getting the intelligence?"

Lin Dong reached out and touched his chin, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. It was really interesting. An escort team whose strongest force had only stepped half a foot into the Shengxuan Realm actually came so rashly to snatch the Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit. It seemed that Gu Yan was also very eager to break through the Shengxuan Realm.

This kind of eagerness could not possibly be due to a rush to break through the realm, but rather it was due to some external reasons.

"Why does Miss Gu Yan want this Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit so much? With the power of the Gu family, Miss Gu Yan should not lack the resources to break through the Shengxuan realm, right? Why did she risk her life to come here?"

"Risking your life?"

Gu Yan frowned, glanced at Lin Dong and the other two with caution, and secretly stepped back a little.

“If Master Lin Dong is interested in the Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit, Gu Yan can withdraw from the competition. She can even do Master Lin Dong a favor and help him snatch the Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit.”

"Haha, I am naturally determined to get the Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit, but I don't need your help. It's just that I am curious, why do you dare to come here to fight for it?"

Lin Dong was really curious. He felt that Gu Yan must have been trapped. The Wei family must have other ideas if they wanted to kill Gu Yan so much.

Either the two families have already started a full-blown war to the death, or there is a competition between the younger generations of the Wei and Gu families similar to that between sectarian competitions.

If this is the case, the situation between Gu Yan and the Wei family's team could not be as peaceful as it seems, so it can only be the latter.

"Why not? Wei Song's strength is comparable to mine, how could I be afraid of him?"

Gu Yan stared at Lin Dong with a hint of coldness in her eyes, feeling as if she was looked down upon by him. Although she was not as strong as Lin Dong who cultivated both his Yuanli and Mental Power, as a leader among the younger generation of the Gu Family, her strength was also quite impressive.

But Lin Dong's words made Gu Yan stunned.

"Then have you ever thought about how to deal with the powerful monster guarding the Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit?"

Wherever there are natural treasures, there must be monsters guarding them. After all, the gestation period of natural treasures is extremely long. During the gestation period, they will produce strange fragrances to attract some monsters. In the end, the monsters that can guard the spiritual objects all the time must be very powerful.

And this Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit is a powerful spiritual object that can help break through the Shengxuan realm. The huge vitality contained in it is more attractive to monsters. Even monsters in the Shengxuan realm are very eager for it.

Therefore, the monster guarding the Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit is at least a top-notch monster in the Half-Step Shengxuan Realm. In fact, it is very likely to be a powerful monster in the Shengxuan Realm!
Thinking of this, Gu Yan's face turned pale. Obviously, her greed for the Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit made her lose her composure and she didn't notice this.

"The Wei family..."

Gu Yan bit her teeth lightly. After Lin Dong’s reminder, she realized that something was wrong. The Wei family’s team came directly from the Wei family’s territory, not like her who came halfway. How could she not make corresponding responses?

However, Gu Yan still had some hopelessness, or was unwilling to believe it. If what Lin Dong said was true, then the monsters around must have been caused by the Wei family.

Since the Wei family has chosen to take action against her, they will not just attack her. There are less than two months left before the Five Clans Martial Arts Competition, and Brother Gu Yuntian’s situation will inevitably become more dangerous.

"The Wei family has a powerful Immortal Talisman Master hiding in the dark. The monsters around are their means."

Lin Dong explained with a smile. Looking at Gu Yan's changing expression, Lin Dong became more and more certain in his heart that this time the matter was not that simple. It was definitely not a simple vendetta between two major families. It definitely involved a fight for opportunities between the younger generation, so such despicable means were used.

"Now, can you tell me why you are so eager to get the Shengsheng Xuanling Fruit?"

After being silent for a while, Gu Yan took a deep breath, stared at Lin Dong with burning eyes, and asked softly.

"I want to know, is Master Lin Dong afraid of the Wei family's revenge?"

"interesting."

Before Lin Dong could speak, Xiao Diao standing beside him could not help but speak out. After looking at Gu Yan, he said with a playful smile, "How does the Wei family compare to the two great caves in the Tianfeng Sea?"

Although she didn't get a direct answer, Gu Yan had already gotten the answer she wanted from Xiao Diao's disdainful expression.

"To be honest with you, Master Lin Dong, the reason why the Wei family attacked me, and even the younger generation of my Gu family, is probably because of the Five Clans Martial Arts Competition in two months."

"Five Clans Martial Arts Meeting?"

Lin Dong and Xiao Diao looked at each other, and then stared at Gu Yan, waiting for the other party to continue.

“Lin Dong shouldn’t be from the Tianfeng Sea, or even the Chaos Demon Sea, right?”

Although Gu Yan was asking Lin Dong, her tone was very certain, otherwise, Xiao Diao would not have known about the two great caves but not their five major families. Although their five major families were not very powerful, they were still well-known in the Chaos Demon Sea.

Lin Dong nodded slightly, and Gu Yan continued speaking upon seeing this.

"Speaking of the Five Clans Martial Arts Competition, we have to mention the treasure guarded by our five major families - the Honghuang Tower!"

"Honghuang Tower!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Lin Dong’s pupils shrank slightly. He is no longer the Yanxia Adong of the past. He is now the tenth on the famous Demon Prison Must-Kill List, the descendant of the Talisman Ancestor, the holder of the Ancestral Stone, the controller of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, and the disciple of the Azure Dragon King Qingzhi, Lin Dong!

Lin Dong, who knew many secrets, was very clear that any treasures that existed in the world, as long as they were related to the names of the Eight Ancient Lords, must be connected.

The Honghuang Palace was passed down from the Lord of Honghuang, and the underground of the ancestral temple is the place where the Honghuang flag suppresses demons!
"Yes, the Honghuang Tower. This is a precious place for cultivation that has been passed down from ancient times. It is said that a kind of Honghuang Qi can be born in the Honghuang Tower. This energy can cleanse the marrow and bones and strengthen the body. It is an opportunity that countless strong people want to obtain."

Seeing that Lin Dong seemed interested, Gu Yan immediately explained.

Now the Wei family not only invited external aid, but also planned to attack her, Gu Yan, and the Gu family. Gu Yan naturally didn't mind finding a helper for the Gu family. At worst, she could give away all three places in the Honghuang Tower.

Anyway, if this goes on, the Gu family won’t get it. Not only that, but they will also lose a lot of people, and she, Gu Yan, will die.

Since our Gu family can't get it, then no one should take it. Just give it directly to Lin Dong and the other two. In this way, their Gu family can not only preserve the younger generation, but also get a favor.

“Master Lin Dong, this is the Honghuang Pearl in the Honghuang Tower. It contains a thin layer of Honghuang Qi.”

As she spoke, Gu Yan stretched out her jade hand, and a yellowish-brown stone bead appeared in her palm. She then flicked her finger and shot it towards Lin Dong.

Lin Dong stretched out his hand to catch it, but before he had time to feel the wild and ancient charm of the stone bead, the next moment, Yan’s voice sounded in Lin Dong’s heart.

"Oh my god, Lin Dong, where did you get this from?"

"Hmm? Yan, why did you disappear for so many days?"

After hearing Yan's voice, Lin Dong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Ever since they came here, Yan seemed to have disappeared. If he hadn't been able to sense the existence of the spirit of the ancestral stone in his body, Lin Dong would have thought that Yan had been lost in the space teleportation.

"What do you mean by your questioning tone? I worked so hard to clean up your mess, otherwise, if you had left the East Xuan Territory, you would have made such a big noise that the Demon Prison would have tracked you down long ago."

Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Cross-domain teleportation made too much noise. If it was farther away, it wouldn't matter, but Moyu's eyes were always on Dao Zong. How could he possibly avoid his detection?

If the traces of space transmission are not erased, ordinary king-level demons will naturally be difficult to track, but a strong man at the first level of the royal palace can easily trace their landing location.

"By the way, where did you get this bead?"

After listening to Yan's explanation, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel relieved. He then simply told him what happened. Yan's eyes lit up after listening.

"Lin Dong, what are you thinking about? Go, you must go in. That is most likely where the Lord of the Primordial World is sleeping. Even if you take a few breaths in there, it will be of great benefit to your cultivation. You may even be able to find the Primordial World Ancestral Talisman!"

Lin Dong felt relieved. He had to go into the place where the Lord of Primordial Desolation was sleeping to check it out. At least he had to ask Yan to check it out to make sure nothing went wrong. If something was wrong, he could just call for help.

After all, the sky of Tianxuan Continent is about to collapse, and we can’t let these tall guys fall.

"So, the Wei family's goal is to eliminate their opponents and then enter the Honghuang Tower, right?"

"Yes, if Master Lin Dong is interested, you can participate in the name of my Gu family's foreign aid."

Gu Yan smiled brightly. She had already made the decision, so she would not hesitate any longer. Besides, it was not easy to get a place in the Honghuang Tower. The other three families were easy, but Shentu Jue of the Shentu family was extremely powerful. Even their Gu family did not have confidence in him.

"Oh? Miss Gu Yan is willing to do so?"

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yan in surprise at her decisiveness, while the latter smiled and said.

"Of course I am willing to do so, but the prerequisite is that Master Lin Dong needs to agree to one condition from Gu Yan, and protect the safety of our Gu family. As long as Master Lin Dong agrees, Gu Yan will go back to the clan and propose this to the elders. With my status and the situation of our Gu family, it should not be difficult to convince the elders."

“Besides, by then, I have already promised Master Lin Dong. Even if the elders are unwilling, in order not to offend the forces behind Master Lin Dong, they must agree to this, right?”

If other disciples of the Gu family were present, they would surely be shocked. Gu Yan has always been known for her coldness and calmness. When did she show such a smart and playful side that could threaten the elders of the clan?
Originally, Lin Dong wanted to say that Gu Yan’s promise might not count, but Gu Yan’s words directly blocked Lin Dong’s subsequent questions.

Just as Gu Yan said, as long as the Gu family is not stupid, they will not refuse to recognize the conditions proposed by Gu Yan. Of course, if the Gu family really does not agree to let him enter the Honghuang Tower, then don't blame him for asking for help, because he still has the token given by the teacher in his hand.

"Then I wish us happy cooperation!"

"Pleasant to work with."

Gu Yan smiled and stretched out her hand to shake Lin Dong's hand, then tilted her head slightly and gestured.

“Master Lin Dong, isn’t it time to contribute?”

"rest assured!"

Lin Dong smiled and gestured, and Xiao Diao's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
