Chapter 169 - A Cup Of Wine
BOOM!
"What the…" Yun Lintian was oblivious to the fierce battle on Lin Xinyao's side. He was currently replenishing his strength with his eyes closed and suddenly woke up by the explosion.
Yun Lintian looked over in the explosion's direction and saw the previous night's sky now filled with golden brilliance.
Mumu jumped onto Yun Lintian's shoulder from his laps and accompanied him to watch the golden sky. Its big round eyes stared at the sky, and there was a strange light flashed across it as though it thought of something.
Yun Lintian frowned and turned to Mumu. "Is it related to your master?"
Mumu shook its head and let out a few cries, indicating its master was safe and sound.
The frown on Yun Lintian's face grew deeper as he thought of the possibility. From Lin Xinyao's words, fifty people entered Thunder Valley, and many among them were Ruler Profound practitioners. He didn't know who caused this explosion, but from the range and destructive power, he believed they should have strength at the tenth level of Ruler Profound Realm.
"This should be a self-detonation?" Yun Lintian muttered. He didn't know what could force such a powerful figure to do this.
Mumu poked Yun Lintian's cheek and pointed at the lightning dome in the distance as though it wanted him to set off already.
Yun Lintian checked his current profound energy and thought he was ready to go. Without further delay, he turned around and headed to the valley area.
The path toward the valley was an open space with some strange vegetation. Occasionally, there would be bolts of lightning striking down, preventing any lifeform from approaching the valley.
As Yun Lintian moved along the way, he noticed the number of profound beasts became lesser, which he later seemed to understand because the lightning element around here was too vital. They wouldn't be able to absorb them, and it might harm them instead.
Yun Lintian observed these profound bests and found all of them were actually the peak Ruler Profound Beast. If these profound beasts were to break out of this place one day, Yun Lintian believed the Thunder City would be destroyed in one day, even with the help of Frozen Moon Palace.
Why? Simple, because when these profound beasts went out, the suppression no longer existed, and the profound energy they had accumulated for all these years would instantly bring them to the next realm. At that time, Thunder City would face a hundred or more Saint Profound Beasts. Even a Monarch Profound practitioner would find it difficult to deal with them.
Yun Lintian suddenly thought, if he took away the lightning element source here, Thunder Valley would no longer exist, right? Wasn't that mean he was going to cause a disaster? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become worried. Although he wasn't righteous or had an affection for Thunder City, he didn't want to cause trouble for others. Especially to a genuinely innocent one.
Ziing!!
All of a sudden, a shattering sound rang out from a distance ahead of Yun Lintian, making him stop moving and looked over.
A bizarre scene appeared in Yun Lintian's line of sight as he found a fat man was actually drinking a cup of wine, looking at the lightning dome leisurely. It was as though he was sightseeing. When he drained all the content in the jade cup, he would throw it on the ground, which Yun Lintian found interesting. This kind of action was usually be seen often in ancient Chinese drama.
A golden light appeared on Yun Lintian's pupils while looking at this fat man. In the next moment, he discovered this person was the sixth level of Heaven Profound Realm. Judging from his bones and appearance, he should be in his thirties.
Thirty years old Heaven Profound Realm. This fatty should be someone from the four clans. Yun Lintian thought.
The fat man was no other than Ding Yang, who secretly arrived here ahead of Yun Lintian. When he perceived someone nearby, he turned around and found Yun Lintian staring at him vigilantly.
Ding Yang smiled, raising the cup of wine, and said. "Little brother, want some?"
Yun Lintian stared at Ding Yang for a while and smiled faintly. "Sure." Following that, he went to sit opposite Ding Yang and took the cup from the latter, then drained it in one go.
Ding Yang was surprised and asked. "You didn't fear I would poison you?"
"Good wine." Yun Lintian wiped a wine stain out of the corner of his mouth while placing the cup on the table. He raised his head slightly and replied with a mysterious smile hung on his lips. "You can't."
Through the Eyes of Heaven, he did not see any poison in the wine, and even there was one he did not fear at all as he trusted his medical skill.
Ding Yang stared at Yun Lintian for a moment and let out a chuckle. "Interesting." He poured another cup for Yun Lintian and himself. He said. "My name is Ding Yang. You can call me Brother Yang directly. What is little brother's name?"
Yun Lintian gulped another cup and replied. "My name is Yun Lintian."
Judging from Ding Yang's action, Yun Lintian could roughly guess this person had definitely seen him before, and perhaps hearing the conversation between him and Lin Xinyao. Hence, he didn't plan to give him a fake name.
"I thought you would tell me a fake name." Ding Yang curled his lips.
During this period, Ding Yang had observed Yun Lintian and believed he was an extremely cautious person. When he heard Yun Lintian told him his real name, he immediately understood Yun Lintian was aware of his existence and purpose.
Yun Lintian smiled faintly and took out a bunch of roasted peanuts, placing them on a medium-sized dish.
Ding Yang laughed slightly and threw a handful of peanuts directly into his mouth. He felt this little brother in front of him was indeed interesting. Making friends with such a person could definitely relieve his boredom.
