124: Chapter 124 Wang Bo'an Makes a Move
Three days later, Lin Shen wandered within the Secret Realm, having restored his original appearance, and his aura was suppressed to the Early Stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
Behind him, multiple Yao Beasts with powerful auras chased him, bursting with angry roars.
Amidst the pursuit of these Yao Beasts with potent auras, Lin Shen wore a panicked expression, continuously using various trump cards while calling out for help to his surroundings.
The commotion he kicked up instantly attracted the attention of some other Cultivators nearby.
"That seems to be Lin Shen from Chiyun Valley, right? Holy crap, why is he being chased by over a dozen Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts? What heaven-defying crime did he commit for this?"
"Over a dozen Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts? Then this Lin Shen is in for a miserable time. Although his strength is formidable, his cultivation is merely at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment after all. Facing these dozen-plus Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts, if no one rescues him, he will sooner or later become dung for this pack of Yao Beasts."
"Senior Brother Wang, your cultivation seems to be at the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Realm. If you make a move, wouldn't that group of Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts be easily dealt with?"
"Save him? Heh... What does that Lin Shen have to do with me? Chiyun Valley has been acting arrogant in recent years; letting them lose one more Prodigy Disciple is exceptionally good for our Qingmu Sect."
Gathered here and waiting for the departure passage of the Secret Realm to open, the few people from the Qingmu Sect couldn't help gloating on the sidelines when they saw Lin Shen's miserable state.
To them, there was no need to join forces at all. Relying solely on the so-called Senior Brother Wang alone, he could easily handle these dozen-plus Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts.
However, Lin Shen was a person from Chiyun Valley, and they were people from the Qingmu Sect. The two sides were not from the same faction to begin with, so naturally, they would not kindly offer rescue.
Right now, they could just watch a good show. If Lin Shen was unfortunately devoured by that pack of Yao Beasts, they could also show great mercy by helping Lin Shen collect his remains, taking away the Storage Pouch on his body and some treasures and Opportunities he had acquired in this Secret Realm.
Just as everyone was wearing gloating expressions, a terrifying surge of flames welled up in the distant sky.
Feeling this terrifying aura, everyone couldn't help being momentarily stunned, turning their heads to look over one after another.
In everyone's line of sight, fierce fires burned the heavens in the high sky to the front-left, and countless flames transformed into firebirds, lunging toward Lin Shen.
Just when everyone thought Lin Shen was caught in a pincer attack from front and back and was dead for sure, those firebirds transformed from flames directly bypassed Lin Shen and attacked the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts chasing behind him.
Struck by these flame-transformed firebirds, those thick-aura, massive Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts instantly roared in fury, screaming repeatedly in agony.
At the same time, another monstrous wave of flames swept across, and a figure descended from the sky, hands forming hand seals, turning the monstrous flames into a sky-full of fire arrows, firing like ten thousand arrows simultaneously, shooting out rapidly.
"Puff, puff, puff!!!"
A series of squishing sounds rang out, followed by flying blood, and a rich, burnt aroma of roasted meat wafted into the nose.
In merely a split second, that group of roaring, frantically chasing Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts from just moments ago collapsed directly to the ground at this moment, incinerated by the sky-full of fire arrows, turning into fragrant roasted whole beasts.
"Junior Brother Lin, long time no see, I have missed you dearly!"
The sky-full of flames dissipated, revealing Wang Boan's figure. With a smile hanging at the corners of his mouth, his figure hovered in mid-air, his expression gentle and refined.
An elite like jade upon the path, a Young Master peerless in this world.
This describes nothing other than him.
"Senior Brother Wang! That's wonderful. This Junior Brother thanks Senior Brother Wang for making a move to save me! If it weren't for Senior Brother Wang's action just now, this Junior Brother would have been in great danger!"
The moment he saw Wang Boan, Lin Shen's expression was exceptionally excited.
His figure soared into the air, quickly arriving in front of Wang Boan.
When he felt the terrifying aura emanating from Wang Boan, he couldn't help being momentarily stunned, then asked in surprise, "Senior Brother Wang, have you broken through to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm?"
"Merely by luck, I found the Legacy of a mighty figure!"
Wang Boan nodded with a smile at the corners of his mouth, and asked Lin Shen, "That's right, Junior Brother Lin, how did you end up being chased by so many Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts?"
Hearing Wang Boan's words, Lin Shen sighed and said with a weary expression, "I discovered a five-thousand-year-old precious herb in an Opportunity location. Who would have known that as soon as I picked it, I provoked this group of Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts? They refused to let up and chased me relentlessly for more than ten days."
As he spoke, Lin Shen's expression became somewhat anxious again as he said, "Right, has Senior Brother Wang ever seen Senior Sister Mo? Earlier, there was also a Peak Foundation Establishment Yao Beast. Under the impact of this Yao Beast, I was forced to separate from Senior Sister Mo, and I don't know how she is doing now."
"Mo Xiaoyu?"
Hearing Lin Shen's words, Wang Boan frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "I haven't seen her. After entering this Secret Realm, I accidentally entered a Legacy location of a mighty figure. I only came out of the Legacy location more than ten days ago, and then I kept searching for fellow Disciples. Junior Brother, you are the first fellow Disciple I've seen, and I haven't seen Mo Xiaoyu."
Saying this, Wang Boan consoled Lin Shen further, "However, Junior Brother Lin doesn't need to worry either. Mo Xiaoyu is Elder Mo's direct granddaughter, and she must have many treasures on her body. Even if she is chased by a Peak Foundation Establishment Yao Beast, presumably relying on her methods, she has the confidence to shake it off."
Just how much Mo Shenggu doted on Mo Xiaoyu was something Wang Boan was naturally very clear about.
Moreover, although Mo Shenggu's lineage had declined, the means left behind by their ancestors were numerous. Presumably, this Mo Xiaoyu also had a certain trump card to preserve her life. Even if she couldn't deal with that Peak Foundation Establishment Yao Beast, wanting to shake it off would definitely still be a piece of cake.
Listening to Wang Boan's comforting words, Lin Shen only sighed and shook his head, "Sigh, I hope so..."
Shaking his head with a sigh, Lin Shen made a request to Wang Boan, "Now there is less than two days left before the departure from the Secret Realm. May I ask Senior Brother Wang to act as my Protector for a bit? For more than ten days, this Junior Brother has been chased by Yao Beasts all along, and the Spiritual Qi within my body has long been depleted. I need a short, stable environment to recover the Spiritual Qi within my body and guard against any unforeseen needs."
"A small matter. Anyway, it's just these two days, and heading to other places won't yield any Opportunities either. It's better to wait here for the departure passage of the Secret Realm to open."
Wang Boan smiled and nodded in agreement.
After obtaining that mighty figure's Legacy, Wang Boan's harvest was already extremely immense. He had no mind to search for other Opportunities either; he only thought of first finding fellow Disciples, ensuring the safety of some fellow Disciples, and by the way, if there was a chance, beheading that Qin Mang without leaving traces of other people making a move.
Unfortunately, there were only less than two short days left now. Finding Qin Mang's whereabouts had become extremely difficult, so it was better to do Lin Shen a favor and act as his Protector by his side.
As long as this Lin Shen wasn't stupid, as long as this Lin Shen knew how to be full of gratitude, once they returned to Chiyun Valley in the future, he would definitely become a core force supporting him.
Put this way, it could also be considered a cost-effective deal.
