Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 372 The Iceberg Has Collapsed

"We should be safe here. I don't think those people would dare to cause trouble in Zili Pavilion."

Lin Dong carried Ying Huanhuan into the Zi Li Pavilion, having already passed the undead tree covered with corpses.

Lin Dong was covered in wounds, but Ying Huanhuan on his back was completely unharmed.

"Lin Dong, are you alright?" Ying Huanhuan asked with some concern. During their mission, they encountered the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree and obtained its seeds. Bringing them back to the Dao Sect would be an incredible stroke of luck!

As a result, they were targeted by the Demon Seal Clan. Lin Dong and Ying Huanhuan took the seeds of the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree and retreated. However, they were still some distance from the Dao Sect, and the Dao Sect's support would not arrive until tomorrow. Therefore, Lin Dong thought of heading directly to the Purple Departure Pavilion.

Fighting is strictly prohibited within the territory of Zili Pavilion; violators will be executed!

Lin Dong, panting heavily, said, "It's alright. We'll be fine once we get to Zi Li Pavilion. They can't possibly ignore the rules of Zi Li Pavilion and attack us, can they?"

A dozen dark figures appeared not far from Lin Dong and Ying Huanhuan, the leader of whom was Yao Ling, the leader of the Demon Seal Clan.

"Boss, what should we do? This is Zili Pavilion's territory. Zili Pavilion is a transcendent power. Even the eight major sects wouldn't dare to provoke them." The speaker was Lei Dao Su Lei, the second-in-command of the Demon Seal Clan, who was at the Eighth Yuan Nirvana Realm.

Yao Ling was torn between two conflicting emotions. If she could bring back the seed of the Immortal Origin Tree, she would naturally receive a great reward, but...

If he violates the rules of Zili Pavilion on its territory, he will surely be beaten to death and hung on that dead spirit tree.

"Withdraw! They're lucky! Lin Dong, the number one in the Hundred Dynasties War, right? I'll remember that!"

Yao Ling issued the retreat order. The reputation of Zi Li Pavilion was too great. It had only been established in this area for a short time, yet it could make the other eight major sects indifferent. Even a fool would know that Zi Li Pavilion was more terrifying than the eight major sects!

The members of the Demon Seal then withdrew, and the others who had been following them also left.

"Phew~" Lin Dong collapsed to the ground: "Master's reputation is still the best. If it weren't for Master, I would have had to fight them to the death. Fighting against the Ninth Yuan Nirvana Realm and the Eighth Yuan Nirvana Realm would have been too costly."

Ying Huanhuan said softly, "It's already very good. I was originally thinking that I would cover the rear while you took the seeds and left. Now it seems that we are lucky. Zili Pavilion is quite close to us."

You just said that the Pavilion Master of Zili Pavilion is your grandmaster? Does that mean Junior Brother Lin Xiao is that Pavilion Master's disciple?

After joining the Dao Sect, Lin Xiao did not join the Desolate Palace, but instead joined the Heavenly Palace. Although Lin Xiao was slightly older, he joined the sect later and was indeed Ying Huanhuan's junior brother.

Lin Xiao has now reached the Eighth Nirvana Realm through arduous cultivation, and it is expected that he can reach the Ninth Nirvana Realm in the next sect war, which will make the Dao Sect safer.

Lin Dong's lips twitched. The girl in front of him called his father "junior brother." But that made sense. He and his father, Lin Xiao, had entered the Dao Sect together. Theoretically, they were fellow disciples.

Lin Dong stood up: "Since we're already here, let's strengthen my spiritual treasure. My Heavenly Scale Halberd is almost destroyed."

Lin Dong stroked his Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd. The Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd had been with him for a long time, and he had grown attached to it. It had been completely broken in the battle with the Demon Seal Clan just now.

Ying Huanhuan pouted and said, "Who told you to show off? Don't you dare show off like that again, you hear me!"

Lin Dong smiled awkwardly. After spending these days with her, he had roughly figured out this young lady's personality.

Ying Huanhuan helped Lin Dong into the Zili Pavilion, and then found a place to sit down. The Great Wilderness Emperor had already discovered the two of them. Lin Dong had probably been adventuring somewhere again, so it was normal for him to suffer some minor injuries.

The Devourer Lord stepped out: "Oh? Lin Dong, what brings you here? Let me tell you, your grandmaster hasn't come out of seclusion yet."

Lin Dong scratched his head: "I'm here to repair my spiritual treasures. My Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd is broken, so I plan to fix it."

The Devouring Lord looked at the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd in Lin's hand, then snatched it away: "Give it to me, I'll repair it for you and strengthen it at the same time."

"Thank you, senior. Ouch~ Huanhuan, what are you doing!" Lin Dong winced in pain, as Ying Huanhuan had just touched his wound.

"I knew you were just putting on a brave face. Take off your clothes and I'll put some medicine on you!" Ying Huanhuan noticed that Lin Dong's side was bleeding, so she touched it.

"Um, this..."

"Don't be so fussy, you're not losing anything!" Ying Huanhuan tore Lin Dong's shirt to shreds, then took out various bottles and jars and applied medicine to Lin Dong.

The Devouring Lord was dumbfounded. He then rubbed his eyes and carefully looked Ying Huanhuan up and down.

Ying Huanhuan also noticed the Devouring Lord's gaze and turned to look at him: "Senior, what's wrong? Did my applying medicine to him affect the business here?"

The Devourer shook his head: "No, no, you can just apply the medicine."

Ying Huanhuan nodded, then pressed Lin Dong into a seat and personally applied the medicine to him.

"Ouch~ Huanhuan, be gentle!" Lin Dong was in a little pain.

Ying Huanhuan blushed slightly: "This isn't the first time I've applied medicine to someone, I'm a little rusty, please bear with me."

The Devourer stared in disbelief at everything, then quickly walked to the back, unable to believe what he was seeing.

A loud slap rang out; it was the Devouring Lord who had slapped himself.

Emperor Wu rushed over upon hearing the commotion: "Senior Devourer, what are you doing?"

The Devourer shook his head, then smiled, a somewhat foolish smile: "Is this the Iceberg? Holy crap, I can't believe the Iceberg would do something like this."

Suddenly, a stone talisman floated over.

"Rock?" The Devourer looked over in surprise.

"Devour! Long time no see," Zu Shi greeted.

"I sensed your presence on Lin Dong back then. Are you finally willing to wake up?" the Devouring Lord chuckled.

Yan: "I've actually been awake for a long time. How should I put it? I woke up before you were resurrected. That Ming Emperor is truly amazing. How could someone who can reach the level of the old master be an ordinary person?"

"But you, after your resurrection, have become even stronger. Your spiritual power has not only reached the Divine Palace Realm, but your aura is no less than that of the Ice Lord at his peak."

The Devourer said with a faint smile, "Having followed Emperor Ming for so many years, one must have learned something, after all. A person always needs to make some progress."

Yan also laughed: "That's for the best. I never expected that Lin Dong would be able to hook up with the reincarnated Ice Lord. I wonder what will happen when the Ice Lord's memories are fully restored."

The Devourer also laughed: "Junior Sister is indeed not easy to deal with. Back in the day, I was a powerful figure, but she didn't even give me a second glance."

Yan scoffed, "Didn't you have enough women back then? And you had an ambiguous relationship with the Lord of Life and Death. If I were the Ice Lord, I wouldn't even give you a second glance."

The Devourer was somewhat embarrassed; he had indeed been a bit of a womanizer back then.

"However," Yan changed the subject, "it's not bad that Lin Dong was able to melt that iceberg. After all, I think Lin Dong might be able to reach the old master's level."

The Devourer Lord exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? Even you think so?"

The Lord of Devouring didn't realize it at first, but later discovered that Lin Dong had a high degree of compatibility with the Ancestral Symbol. Given more time, he would probably have a compatibility with the Ancestral Symbol that was on par with his own.

The Devourer felt that Lin Dong might have a chance to reach the Ice Lord's realm. Unexpectedly, besides him, Emperor Ming and Lian Yan also thought so.

Yan smiled and said, "I've watched this kid grow up. His inner strength far surpasses that of others. What makes him better than you is that he can melt that iceberg."

"Since you've said that, I have to save this scene for later, to show them, especially to Lord Yan. Hehe, I remember he really likes Junior Sister, I definitely want to see his expression!"

The Devourer Lord released a recording bead to capture the scene in the hall. The somewhat clumsy application of medicine amused both the Devourer Lord and Yan Du.

Yan also laughed: "I'm really looking forward to it too. This kid Lin Dong has only been here a few days and he's already almost taken care of this iceberg. What won't he be able to handle in the future?"
