173: The conspiracy of the True Saint Dojo and the changes of the spirit race!

Upon hearing the Phoenix Woman's wolfish words, Lin Yan quickly waved his hand.

"Absolutely not! I'm currently in my prime, and I don't want to get lost in a gentle embrace just yet!"

What a joke! His goal was to become the strongest in the world; how could he, at such a young age, succumb to a gentle embrace?

Besides, the Demon Race from the Demon Domain was still eyeing them covetously, and his current strength wasn't enough to protect himself.

Hearing Lin Yan's words and seeing his determined gaze, the Phoenix Woman merely stuck out her tongue and said nothing more.

As for Ling Shuangshuang and the other two, they stared at Lin Yan with skeptical expressions, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Just now, you looked like you were enjoying it so much, and now you're pulling this act? How can I believe you?"

Lin Yan turned his head and, seeing their strange expressions, almost broke down.

Immediately, he guiltily began to change the subject.

"We've been here for almost two months now; it's time to set off for the Central Divine Continent."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yan turned to the Phoenix Woman, pointing at the huge nest behind them and asking.

"How should we deal with these?"

The Phoenix Woman smiled slightly, then with a wave of her slender hand, the huge nest shrunk to the size of a palm and landed in her hand.

"Here, for you."

Looking at the palm-sized nest the Phoenix Woman handed over, Lin Yan was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that the Phoenix Woman's enormous nest was actually a Formation Plate enchanted with a True Saint-Grade Grand Array!

"Oh, and the Saint Hall inside the Grand Array is a Low Grade Sacred Artifact. It can be used for combat, defense, and even for traveling."

Seeing the Phoenix Woman's indifferent expression, Lin Yan couldn't help but ask.

"If you give these things to me, what will you use?"

The Phoenix Woman smiled faintly in response.

"Master, there's no need to worry. Generally, Sacred Beasts like us all possess Lifebound Sacred Artifacts."

As she spoke, the Phoenix Woman directly took out a crimson longsword emanating a strong Holy Light, showing it to Lin Yan and explaining.

"This was refined from one of my Lifebound feathers and can grow with me."

A Lifebound Weapon that could grow with its owner—as expected of a Sacred Beast. This was immeasurably more powerful than a Human Race's Lifebound Weapon.

"Alright! Since that's the case, let's not delay and depart for the Central Divine Continent."

Lin Yan nodded, then took out the Saint Hall, gathered everyone inside, and directly controlled it to rush towards the Central Divine Continent.

As for the people from the Divine Flame Sect, he had already sent them back. After killing their Old Ancestor and subduing the Holy Flame, he had no need to continue the slaughter.

......

Eastern Xuan Dao Province.

Within a certain True Saint Dojo.

"An Alchemist capable of refining Medicinal Pills with Dao Marks? Is this true?"

A man enveloped in Holy Light looked at the old man below and exclaimed in surprise.

"Reporting to Saint Lord, this is absolutely true. Dao Xu Zi of the Eastern Xuan Domain, whose Foundation was damaged and who was destined never to achieve a Breakthrough in this life, recently broke through and attained the Realm of a Saint after consuming that Medicinal Pill with Dao Marks!"

The old man explained to the Saint Lord in front of him, and at the same time, he quickly added.

"Saint Lord, what should we do?"

After a brief silence, the middle-aged man enveloped in Holy Light slowly said.

"Have any other True Saint Dojos learned of this matter?"

In response, the old man shook his head, indicating.

"This news was told to me by a friend in the Eastern Xuan Domain. Currently, no one else should know.

However, it won't be long before this matter becomes known to everyone in the entire Eastern Xuan Dao Province."

The middle-aged man enveloped in Holy Light heard this, and an imperceptible hint of cold indifference flashed in his eyes. He immediately said to the old man.

"Here's what you'll do: take some people to the Eastern Xuan Domain and invite that mysterious Alchemist here for me. It's best if no one else discovers it!"

"If my Heavenly Flame Dao Place can acquire such an Alchemist, then in the future, we will surely dominate the entire Eastern Xuan Dao Province!"

However, the old man frowned slightly and said with a bitter smile.

"Saint Lord, with just me, this matter might be a bit difficult!"

"That Dao Xu Zi broke through to the True Saint Realm with the help of that Alchemist's Medicinal Pills. If I try to take him, I'm afraid Dao Xu Zi will be the first to object!"

In response, the middle-aged man enveloped in Holy Light coldly stated.

"Don't worry, I will have Tian Yi accompany you."

"If that Dao Xu Zi still doesn't know what's good for him, then directly exterminate his Asked Saint Sect along with him!"

Upon hearing this, the old man left with great relief.

And after the old man departed, a faint smile immediately appeared on the face of the middle-aged man enveloped in Holy Light.

"Medicinal Pills with Dao Marks, huh? It seems my promotion to Earth Saint is within reach!"

At the same time.

Within the Azure Xuan Dao Place and the Martial Heaven Dao Place, the same scene was unfolding. Clearly, they had also received the news in advance and wanted to secretly bring Lin Yan into their Dao Place before others knew, to refine Medicinal Pills with Dao Marks for them.

......

Time flowed swiftly.

After nearly half a month of travel, Lin Yan and his group finally arrived in the Central Divine Continent.

And the first thing Lin Yan did upon arriving was to take everyone to the Ling Family.

After all, he had promised Ling Shuangshuang earlier that he would accompany her back to her Family.

"Who goes there? This is the territory of my Ling Family; retreat immediately!"

At the main gate of the Ling Family mansion, two guards, seeing Lin Yan and the others, immediately shouted, their faces unfriendly.

"Presumptuous! Bold Family slaves, how dare you be so disrespectful to my Young Miss's guests? Do you wish to die?"

Seeing this, Ling Shuangshuang immediately displayed her Young Miss's Aura, angrily rebuking the two.

The two, who had been extremely arrogant, were startled upon seeing the suddenly appearing Ling Shuangshuang, and their expressions immediately became erratic.

"So, the Young Miss has returned. Please wait a moment, Young Miss; I will go inform the Grand Elder!"

After a brief moment of shock, one of the guards said this and quickly rushed towards the depths of the Ling Family.

"What? Does this Young Miss need to report in advance to return home?"

Ling Shuangshuang felt extreme dissatisfaction and anger, as this made her lose face in front of Lin Yan and the others.

"Apologies, Young Miss, this is the Grand Elder's regulation. We are just following the rules; please understand, Young Miss!"

The remaining guard stopped Ling Shuangshuang, asking her to wait quietly there.

"Presumptuous! I am the Clan Chief's daughter! Since when do I need to report when I return home?"

Ling Shuangshuang vaguely sensed that something was amiss. She immediately led Lin Yan and the others and forcibly broke into the Ling Family.

"Someone! Someone is trespassing on our Family's territory!"

The guard, seeing this, immediately panicked and quickly shouted inwards.

Swish, swish, swish!

The moment the shout fell, several figures appeared simultaneously from all directions, surrounding Ling Shuangshuang and the others.

"Little Senior Sister, it seems something has happened during your absence from the Family!"
