Chapter 242: Chapter 217: Honorable Level Feudal Lords, Yan Clan from Xuanhuo City_1
The giant lizard was too terrifying, regardless if it was his Avatar who encountered it -- even his True Body would be dealt with in a single move.
The gap was too large.
Blood Slaughter hovered in the high altitudes for a while, seeing that the giant lizard didn’t come out, Lu Yan then felt relieved, and proceeded towards Kunwu Mountain.
Upon seeing Guan Shan, Lu Yan conveyed in detail everything he had seen and experienced without any concealment.
Guan Shan, who had long known that Lu Yan possessed a similar avatar technique, was no longer surprised. He believed it was a special type of Martial Arts that required the cultivation of Immortal Bones and repeatedly urged Lu Yan not to share it with others.
"Immortal, it has to be an Immortal, how could there be an Immortal in the six counties of Lingdong..."
After listening, Guan Shan started pacing back and forth, clearly his mood was far from calm.
"Senior, is it really an Immortal?"
Lu Yan asked.
"It should be, eighty or ninety percent sure. The Alien Beast on the second-rank Blood Land Vein can’t possibly be so powerful."
"Moreover, when you first saw it, it was only tens of meters long, that should be its True Body, turning to hundreds of meters long afterwards must be its ’Immortal Body’. Alien Beasts don’t have such capabilities."
"The only strange thing is, how did this Immortal appear, did it run out from the Fairy Ruins? But there are no Fairy Ruins within the six counties of Lingdong, did it come from elsewhere?"
Guan Shan said.
"Senior, are Immortals all this powerful?"
Lu Yan asked.
"Powerful? This one is considered weak. It should be underage. An adult Immortal is far more powerful than this."
Guan Shan said.
Lu Yan was shocked.
This one is still underage?
"You must know that during the heyday of Da Chu, Martial Arts powerhouses were summoned to enter the Fairy Ruins for Hunting Immortals. Do you know what level of powerhouses were able to participate? All of them were in the Primordial Spirit Realm, even those at the True Body Realm did not qualify to participate."
Guan Shan said.
Well!
He was really ignorant.
"Senior, if Immortals are so powerful, why do they hide in the Fairy Ruins and not come out?"
Lu Yan continued to ask.
"I’m not clear about this, perhaps it’s because their numbers are too small to resist Human Martial Artists, or there may be other reasons, my Master and I lack the cultivation level to access deep secrets, perhaps King Ming knows, you can ask King Ming when your cultivation level is high enough in the future."
Guan Shan said.
After pondering for a moment, Guan Shan added: "But one thing is certain, the existence of Immortals dates back to extremely ancient times, they definitely existed before the Dagu Dynasty, current evidences prove that some of the relics in today’s world are related to Immortals."
Lu Yan immediately thought about Dao Food.
The Dao Book can absorb both Dao Food and Immortal Bones.
Is there a connection between the two?
Is the energy in Dao Food also Immortal Power?
If the relics have a connection with Immortals, then it makes sense.
"There are many secrets in this world, I want to know too, but I am powerless. Work harder, tell me when you find out in the future."
Guan Shan looked at Lu Yan expectantly.
Lu Yan: "..."
"Senior, what should we do next? With our strength, we can’t handle an Immortal at all. Should this matter be reported to the Mansion of King Ming, so they can send people to deal with it?"
Lu Yan said.
Guan Shan nodded: "Since an Immortal has appeared, we absolutely cannot ignore it. It will continuously plunder the essence between heaven and earth, if this goes on for a long time, not to mention just the area around Changfeng City, the entire Lingdong six counties will be turned into barren lands, trapped in desolation, where nothing can grow."
"Legend has it that Immortals can fly in the sky and hide underground, even if an underage Immortal cannot fly to sky, it should at least be able to hide underground. After it turns the area around Changfeng City into barren land, it will move to other places."
Can hide underground?
Lu Yan couldn’t help but think, was the drought around Wo Ye City in Qingfeng County caused by this Immortal?
Considering the timeline, it was highly likely.
First, an earthquake occurred at the relic site on Changfeng Mountain, causing the mountain to collapse and reveal the relics.
Then, there was a severe drought near Wo Ye City and they were forced to move to Changfeng City.
Later, he heard that the area around Wo Ye City suffered from relatively a long drought before it finally eased.
The Immortal first caused the earthquake, then it moved to Wo Ye City, and most recently, it returned to Changfeng City.
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
"Unfortunately, the bodyguards of King Ming who were stationed at Moling Mountain have already left, otherwise we would directly inform them to report to the Mansion of King Ming."
Lu Yan said.
King Ming’s bodyguards had been stationed in the passage of Moling Mountain for a year and a half. They left as the people from Spirit Sect did not appear.
After all, King Ming’s bodyguards have other tasks to perform, they couldn’t stay here forever.
"Lu Yan, it seems that you have to go to the Mansion of King Ming in advance."
Guan Shan said.
Lu Yan nodded.
It was about time.
He had already advanced to the second-rank Master Level, and there were not many third-rank Alien Beasts left on Kunwu Mountain. He had planned to go to the Mansion of King Ming after some time.
"Senior, after I leave, please take care of my parents and Wen Yuan and the others."
Lu Yan said.
After all, the cultivation levels of Lu Qingshan and Wen Yuan were still low.
He was afraid they wouldn’t be able to manage the situation if he was gone for a long time.
"You can be assured about this. After you leave, I will stay in Li’an City. On the other hand, you, on your journey to the Mansion of King Ming, will face many uncertainties and must be careful."
"Furthermore, if you want to reduce potential trouble and smoothly enter the Mansion of King Ming, you need someone to introduce you. My master had a childhood friend, their relationship was extraordinary, he was a genius favored by the heaven, he stepped into the True Body Realm a hundred years ago and is most likely still alive, you can take my master’s token to find him and ask him to vouch and recommend you..."
Apparently, Guan Shan had carefully planned everything and discussed with Lu Yan for over an hour.
Afterwards, the two of them rode on Blood Slaughter and Blood Kill and arrived at Li’an City.
Lu Yan immediately summoned his senior executives, introduced Guan Shan, told everyone that he had important matters to attend to and had to leave for a while, after his departure, they should listen to Guan Shan for everything.
Two days later, Lu Yan, mounted on Blood Slaughter, leaves Li’an City and heads towards the Magic ridge mountain range.
He then walks with Blood Slaughter, crosses through the passage, and continues riding westward on Blood Slaughter.
The mansion of King Ming, occupies the land of three states - Ming State, Yun State, and Xuan State.
Xuan State is on the east side, close to the sea.
Yun State is at the south side of Xuan State, also near the sea.
While Ming State is in the west of Xuan State and Yun State, it borders both the states.
The mansion of King Ming is located in Ming State, it is extremely far from the six counties of Lingdong, over a hundred thousand miles.
Even if Blood Slaughter could travel ten thousand miles a day, it would require at least ten days, not including rest.
Blood Slaughter can’t possibly fly all the time, it needs rest in between.
Lu Yan sits on Blood Slaughter’s back, overlooking the boundless territory, ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, which fills him with a feeling of boundless freedom, like a bird in the sky.
Half a day later.
"That is..."
Lu Yan noticed a magnificent mountain range in front of him, diffused with blood energy and abounding with the roars of alien beasts.
"A level-three Blood Land Vein."
A thought struck Lu Yan.
From the range and the concentration of the Energy of Earth Blood, that was definitely a level-three Blood Land Vein.
"The six counties of Lingdong are truly barren in the end. Despite its wide territory, there are not many Blood Land Veins."
Lu Yan contemplated.
Before he left, Guan Shan had given him a map of the three states in the Mansion of King Ming.
Xuan State has a total of twenty-eight counties, with Lingdong taking up six.
Based on the territory, it is not small and takes up about one-fifth of Xuan State.
But in terms of Blood Land Veins and martial arts experts, it is considerably lacking.
The six counties of Lingdong have only one level-three Blood Land Vein.
But the remaining twenty-two counties in Xuan State have ten level-three Blood Land Veins and one level-four Blood Land Vein.
Whether considering resources or the number of martial cultivators, the other twenty-two counties have at least ten times more than the six counties of Lingdong.
The experts, are even more abundant.
"Blood Slaughter, bypass this level-three Blood Land Vein."
Lu Yan patted Blood Slaughter’s neck.
Generally, level-three Blood Land Veins are occupied by those at the Honorable Level Feudal Lords with cultivators at the True Body Realm. This kind of strength is more than ten times stronger than the Zhao Clan of Lingwang City in its prime.
There might also be alien beasts and flying beasts, it would be best to steer clear to avoid misunderstandings.
Blood Slaughter curves its path and bypasses from afar.
After flying for a day, Blood Slaughter lands on a mountain peak.
On its back, there is a box tied up containing spiritual medicines that look like blood-red carrots. These are Blood Slaughter’s food.
Lu Yan feeds it two sticks and eats a piece of dried Martial Food for himself, practices some knife technique, and then sits cross-legged to rest.
The night passes without incident.
The next morning, after a good rest, Lu Yan rides on Blood Slaughter and sets off again.
"Huh, are those people searching the mountain?"
Half a day later, Lu Yan sees movements in the woods of a mountain below. Forming a fan-shaped enclosure, they seem to be searching the mountain.
At the same time, Lu Yan sees a large bird flying over rapidly from the side.
This is also a flying beast, even bigger than Blood Slaughter. Its wings are spread out to be over twenty meters long, its body is entirely red but with purple feathers at the edge of its wings.
"This seems to be an alien beast, the Purple Wing Blood Peng."
Lu Yan thought, having seen it once in a book introducing various types of alien beasts.
The Purple Wing Blood Peng is a rare alien beast, inherently much stronger than the Blood Eagle.
A terrifying aura gushes forth, causing some unrest in Blood Slaughter.
There are two figures standing on the Purple Wing Blood Peng.
A young man in his twenties and a middle-aged man in his fifties.
The Purple Wing Blood Peng was clearly heading towards Lu Yan. Lu Yan commands Blood Slaughter to stop. Blood Slaughter flaps its wings and hovers in the air.
The Purple Wing Blood Peng’s speed is extremely fast. It turns into alternating flashes of red and purple, and in a blink of an eye, it stops a few hundred meters from Lu Yan.
"A terrifying expert!"
Lu Yan’s eyes fall on the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looks ordinary, but every flicker of his eyes gives a terrifying feeling. Lu Yan feels like he is being eyed by a prehistoric beast.
This man is not only a master but also a top-level hand among the masters.
"The Yan Clan of Xuanhuo City is working here. Please detour off."
The middle-aged man says, his voice gentle but filled with an unequivocal tone.
The Yan Clan of Xuanhuo City, an Honorable Level Feudal Lord?
A thought strikes Lu Yan.
On the map given by Guan Shan, all the formidable forces are marked.
The Yan Clan of Xuanhuo City is one of them.
"So it turns out to be the Yan Clan, a cherished name indeed. Since the Yan Clan is working here, I will detour."
Lu Yan gives a salute.
Naturally, he wouldn’t risk offense with a giant like the Yan Clan over this tiny matter of detouring.
That would be crazy.
Moreover, with Blood Slaughter’s speed, taking a little detour is not a problem at all.
Gaga!
The Purple Wing Blood Peng, disdainfully glancing at Blood Slaughter, gives a long chirp that scares Blood Slaughter into a shudder. It immediately spreads its wings and flies sideways, circumventing the woods from a distance before rerouteing its course and continues to go west.
