135: Qinling Climate Bureau

Deep in the Qinling Mountains.

Mei Jinfeng led the group around the Qinling Mountains for a full day, and Zhang Chulan only felt like he was constantly circling back and forth.

Suddenly, Zhang Chulan caught a faint scent of blood. Everyone followed the scent and found the ground covered with bullet casings and human corpses.

“Is this… a battle between humans and animals?”

“Huh? There are even foreigners here?”

“Everyone be careful. Anyone who can get guns in China is not an ordinary person!”

Wang Zhenqiu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Granny Jinfeng, I really don’t understand. Rootless Life’s Treasure Trove is so secretive, but if we want to enter, shouldn’t we choose the shortest route?”

“We’ve been walking along the mountain path for almost a day now, and it feels like we’re still just circling.”

“And now it seems someone has already gotten ahead of us. If there are no surprises, these people are probably also after Rootless Life’s Treasure Trove. Aren’t you worried? Aren’t you afraid Rootless Life’s Treasure Trove will be taken by them?”

“Or is it that to find Rootless Life’s Treasure Trove, one must take this particular route?”

Wang Zhenqiu looked at Mei Jinfeng, who still said nothing, and grew a little anxious.

“My granny! What stage are we at now? Are you still guarding against us?”

Mei Jinfeng still remained silent after hearing this.

“Just a Qi formation…”

A voice came from above the group. In the sky, two figures slowly descended, flying on swords.

Everyone looked closely and saw that the newcomers were Lin Yuan and Ma Xianhong.

As soon as Lin Yuan and Ma Xianhong got off the plane, they quickly flew on their swords towards Zhang Chulan’s location, barely making it in time.

“Martial Uncle Lin Yuan!!!”

Zhang Chulan was overjoyed to see Lin Yuan arrive and quickly walked up to him.

“Lin Yuan!?”

“Mount Longhu’s Lin Yuan!? Isn’t he in the Northeast? How did he come to the Qinling Mountains!?”

“Oh no! Golden Phoenix, that little brat Lin Yuan is here… This is trouble…”

Everyone reacted differently upon seeing Lin Yuan. Xia Liuqing’s hand tightly gripped Mei Jinfeng’s, ready to flee at any moment.

Although he hadn't fought Lin Yuan, when Quansheng attacked the mountain, he, as a liaison, had a clear view of Quansheng’s miserable state.

This kid was a born harbinger of death! He killed without batting an eye! More Quansheng than Quansheng!

Wang Ai and Lü Ci, despite their age and being among The Ten Elders, still got beaten up. He, at his age, would be dismantled if Lin Yuan decided to.

And not long ago, Lin Yuan had just suppressed a Dragon in Changbai Mountain!

That was a Dragon that had been suppressed for a thousand years! If it were truly easy to kill, China wouldn't have waited until now to deal with it. It was said that the military had prepared a nuclear bomb at the time, ready to flatten Changbai Mountain if Lin Yuan failed.

Mei Jinfeng tugged on Xia Liuqing’s hand and shook her head.

“Forget it… Xia Liuqing… Don’t make any rash moves… There’s no chance…”

“If Lin Yuan really wanted to kill me, we probably wouldn’t even be able to escape.”

…Hearing Mei Jinfeng’s words, Xia Liuqing put away his Divine Hand gloves.

But if Lin Yuan truly made a move, he would definitely die in front of Mei Jinfeng today.

At this moment, Lin Yuan said without turning his head:

“Heh heh heh… Xia Liuqing, good for you for being sensible! If you dare to pull out your Divine Hand today, you will surely die!”

…Xia Liuqing immediately recoiled his neck and glared at Zhang Chulan.

You unlucky fellow, Zhang Chulan! Showing off, aren’t you! You brought Lin Yuan here, and now no one can have any fun.

Truly shameless! You just find a substitute player after you’ve been beaten, right?

Wang Zhenqiu still wanted to go up and greet Lin Yuan, but the Killing Intent and Aura emanating from Lin Yuan at that moment made everyone gasp.

“A bunch of Quansheng demons! Dare to move again and you’ll all be electrocuted!”

Mei Jinfeng quickly stepped forward and said:

“Immortal Master Lin Yuan… We are indeed Quansheng, that’s true. You are a Disciple of Mount Longhu’s Old Celestial Master, so it’s understandable for you to act against us.”

“But I, Mei Jinfeng, have always considered myself not to be a great villain in this life. Before my death, I only ask one thing of you: I just want to see if our Sect Head’s Treasure Trove is safe…”

“As long as I can confirm the Treasure Trove is safe, you can take my life anytime…”

With that, Mei Jinfeng stepped forward and knelt directly before Lin Yuan.

“Golden Phoenix! Get up! Don’t beg him! Today, even if it costs me my life! I will let you see the Sect Head’s Treasure Trove! Get up quickly…”

Xia Liuqing was heartbroken to see Mei Jinfeng kneeling on the ground and tried to help her up several times.

Wang Zhenqiu also couldn’t help but plead:

“Immortal Master Lin Yuan… Please don’t be angry. Granny Jinfeng truly hasn’t done anything bad. Please don’t be like this…”

Zhang Chulan also quickly said:

“Martial Uncle Lin Yuan, please don’t rush to act…”

Seeing Mei Jinfeng’s sincerity, the lightning in Lin Yuan’s hand slowly dissipated.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as Lin Yuan withdrew his Aura.

Zhang Chulan didn’t actually care about the deaths of Mei Jinfeng and Xia Liuqing, but he still needed them to find Rootless Life’s Treasure Trove. If they died now, there would be no guide.

Thinking of this, he immediately changed the subject.

“Martial Uncle Lin Yuan, what was that Qi formation you just mentioned? Is it Feng Shui?”

Lin Yuan glanced at Zhang Chulan. He knew what the kid was planning.

“Not entirely. Feng Shui is just a part of a Qi formation.”

“All things in the world have their own Qi fields. Arranging many inanimate objects into a formation according to a specific Qi formation, and then having different living beings stimulate Life Qi.”

“This can form a Qi formation, but such a Qi formation has little effect on people.”

“Qi formations are divided into two types: one is man-made, and the other is natural. These Qi formations can have a very significant impact, often beyond human power.”

“This place is an Innate Qi formation, with subsequent man-made modifications, which directly led to the continuous expansion of the Qi formation’s influence.”

“If one doesn’t follow the correct way to proceed, with bad Luck, they might be trapped here for life. If they are lucky enough to get out, their Luck will also be affected.”

Zhang Chulan asked, somewhat puzzled.

“What happens if one’s Luck is affected?”

“Nothing much, you’ll just be very unlucky for a long time, like getting hit by a car while walking, or finding no seasoning packet in your instant noodles.”

“Huh?”

“Martial Uncle Lin Yuan! Then you just didn’t follow the correct route! Won’t you be unlucky when you leave?”

Lin Yuan simply rolled his eyes at Zhang Chulan.

“If I can perceive a Qi formation, wouldn’t I know how to protect myself? Before I came, A’Zu and I were carrying Magical Artifacts to protect our Luck.”

“So you don’t need to worry about me; worry more about yourself.”
