Chapter 2597: Chapter 2596: Farewell!
Quickly, Lin Dong stored all the ancient martial arts into the Dragon Ring Space.
Next, he continued exploring Ye Wuheng’s treasure vault.
Later, he didn’t find anything appealing, so he left the place.
Upon exiting Ye Wuheng’s palace, Lin Dong took a deep breath; the fresh air contrasted sharply with the oppressive bloody atmosphere inside the palace.
Not far away, everyone from the Dragon Alliance was anxiously waiting. Seeing Lin Dong return safe and sound, everyone’s faces immediately broke into joyful smiles.
"Lin Dong, are you okay?" Dragon Alliance’s leader Lin Zhenyue approached and asked, "I just seemed to hear sounds of battle inside."
"Could there still be an expert hidden in the Blood Soul Hall?"
Lin Dong nodded and said, "Inside Ye Wuheng’s palace, there was a Nine-Star Blood King. The sound you heard, Leader Lin, was me battling it."
"A Nine-Star Blood King-level extraterritorial blood clan?!" Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenyue was surprised.
Facing such a level of extraterritorial blood clan, if it had been him, it would surely have been a near-death experience.
"It suddenly ambushed me, almost catching me off guard. Fortunately, I ultimately managed to slaughter it." Lin Dong said.
Though Lin Dong spoke lightly, Lin Zhenyue could discern that the battle must have been thrillingly intense."
"It’s okay now." Lin Zhenyue finally said, then immediately asked, "Did you find Ye Wuheng’s treasure vault?"
Lin Dong nodded, not hiding it from him.
"Found it, with quite a harvest."
As they walked side by side, Lin Dong briefly recounted the treasure vault incident.
"I took some things, but there’s quite a lot left. Leader Lin can empty it."
Upon hearing this, a gleam appeared in Lin Zhenyue’s eyes. He thought Lin Dong would take all of Ye Wuheng’s treasures, and even if he did, Lin Zhenyue would not say anything.
Because those were indeed Lin Dong’s rightful winnings!
He didn’t expect Lin Dong to leave treasures for their Dragon Alliance.
It showcased Lin Dong’s generosity!
Lin Zhenyue felt a wave of shame.
Such outstanding character in Lin Dong, yet initially, he actually had such strong opinions against him, viewing him through biased lenses, even doubting he was a traitor from Blood Soul Hall.
Thinking back now, his face felt flushed with embarrassment.
At the moment, Lin Dong abruptly changed the subject and mentioned another purpose of his trip: "Leader Lin, you’ve been in the Black Soil Plateau for many years, you must be familiar with everything there? This junior has a matter to consult you on."
"What matter? Feel free to ask," Lin Zhenyue said.
Lin Dong got straight to the point and asked, "This journey to the extraterrestrial battlefield is actually to find two things very important to me."
"I’ve found one of them, but there’s still one thing I haven’t found yet, nor do I know where exactly to look."
"All I know is that it’s in the Black Soil Plateau area."
"Oh? What are you looking for?" Lin Zhenyue asked.
Lin Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Leader Lin, do you have any leads on Dragon’s saliva in the Black Soil Plateau? Do you know specifically which area it is located in?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenyue’s expression turned solemn. He paused and gazed into the distance, where the depths of the Black Soil Plateau lay:
"Dragon’s saliva is indeed a precious thing, capable of enhancing a martial artist’s constitution and offering unparalleled aid to cultivation. What I know is that it resides in the depths of the Black Soil Plateau, within Earth Dragon Valley."
"Earth Dragon Valley?" Lin Dong furrowed his brows; the name itself sounded fraught with danger.
"Indeed, Earth Dragon Valley is a forbidden land on the extraterrestrial battlefield, inhabited by numerous Earth Dragons. Though they aren’t real dragons, they possess strength not weaker than Heavenly Realm martial artists, and they are abundant in numbers. If startled, the consequences are unimaginable."
Lin Zhenyue explained, "And Dragon’s saliva is precisely the essence secreted by these Earth Dragons under certain conditions, growing in the secret realm they guard."
"So, to obtain Dragon’s saliva, is it not as hard as reaching the ends of the earth?" Lin Dong couldn’t help but be worried.
Lin Zhenyue patted Lin Dong on the shoulder, his eyes filled with encouraging light: "It’s naturally difficult, but precisely because of this, its value is even more precious."
"Lin Tian, with your strength, I believe you have the ability to overcome any obstacle."
"Dragon Alliance will also be your most solid backing. If needed, we can send anyone to go with you in search of the Dragon’s saliva."
"I can even personally go with you..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong bowed in thanks: "Thank you, Leader Lin, for your kindness. However, since it’s a forbidden land of the extraterrestrial battlefield, I’ll go alone."
The forbidden lands of the extraterrestrial battlefield are not places ordinary martial artists can tread. Once entered, it’s a life-threatening venture.
Lin Dong didn’t want Dragon Alliance members to risk their lives just because they accompanied him to find Dragon’s saliva.
Seeing this, Lin Zhenyue did not insist.
At this moment, Ah Lang came over and said: "Big brother, I’ll go with you."
Lin Dong shook his head, "You stay with Dragon Alliance and enhance your strength. The forbidden lands of the extraterrestrial battlefield are not places Earth Realm martial artists can tread."
Ah Lang sighed and reluctantly nodded.
He is currently a low-rank Earth Realm martial artist, a powerful figure in the outer world. But in the extraterrestrial battlefield, he indeed counts as nothing.
Earth Realm martial artists in the extraterrestrial battlefield can’t go wherever they wish. Many forbidden lands can’t be tread upon.
He realized if he truly accompanied Lin Dong, he’d only be a burden.
"Lin Tian, this journey is extremely perilous, take care!" The brothers of Dragon Alliance surrounded him under Lin Zhenyue’s leadership, each with genuine concern and blessings in their eyes.
Lin Dong smiled slightly and said: "Thank you all for your kindness!"
After speaking, he took out an ancient secret manual from his arms, its cover embroidered in gold thread with the words "Overlord Fist," exuding a majestic momentum, seemingly conveying an ancient and powerful martial way will.
Lin Dong handed this precious ancient martial manual to Ah Lang.
"Ah Lang, this ’Overlord Fist’ is what I obtained in Ye Wuheng’s treasure vault; it contains the essence of ancient martial arts and is exceptionally powerful. With your exceptional talent, you will surely make the most of it." Lin Dong’s words carried trust and expectations.
Ah Lang accepted the manual with trembling hands, his eyes slightly red, understanding the weight of this gift.
"Big brother, you can go without worry! I will guard this manual with my life. You must return safely, I will wait for you here. When you leave the extraterrestrial battlefield, no matter the ends of the earth, I will follow you, never forsaking you!"
Lin Dong patted Ah Lang on the shoulder, their gazes meeting in the air, words unnecessary, everything understood without speaking.
Then, he turned and transformed into a stream of light, setting off on the journey to the forbidden place "Earth Dragon Valley."
