Chapter 179: Chapter 133: Liu Venerate’s Treasure Mirror! Evil-Water Warding Pearl!

Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan led thirty riders out of the city, heading toward the Dayin River.

He himself was at the Qi Refining Realm, and among those thirty riders, there was a garrison commander of the Refining Essence Realm.

Nine of them were Flag Commanders at the inner strength cultivation level.

The remaining twenty people were also at the second major martial barrier, either at the Blood Refining or Marrow Cleansing levels.

Within the inner city’s Observatory, they were considered elite.

And because of the turmoil stirred up by Lin Yan, the Observatory faced significant pressure from various factions and was already understaffed.

Now, deploying this group of elites showed just how severe and extraordinary the situation was.

Thus, it was only natural for someone from the Liu Zun Temple to come and inquire.

And since there was nothing secretive about last night’s drinking, Lin Yan simply told the truth.

"So, you met at Jinliu Manor, fought side by side, and formed a life-and-death friendship. Yesterday, you reunited and celebrated with drinks."

Ling He nodded slightly and said, "Then there’s no problem. I will report last night’s banquet to Liu Zun Temple, and there should be no issue."

Lin Yan pondered and said, "Of course, I have no issues, but does Liu Zun Temple think the transformation of the evil snake into a dragon has anything to do with General Pei’s group?"

"It’s probably just a coincidence. As they crossed the Dayin River, the evil snake suddenly erupted, creating a storm and dragging them all into it."

Ling He said, "After that, the evil snake showed signs of transforming into a dragon."

After a moment’s hesitation, Ling He added, "Logically, it should have nothing to do with their group, but concerning the safety of High Willow City, any clues must be investigated."

"I understand."

Lin Yan nodded slightly, his expression cold.

Ling He curtsied slightly, stepped back half a step, and then prepared to leave.

But then she remembered this youthful prodigy, a twenty-something-year-old in the Refining Essence Realm, always brave and unmatched in valor, daring to draw his sword.

She turned back, retrieved an item, and said softly, "This is a treasure mirror personally crafted by my master and has been worshipped in Liu Zun Temple for nine years."

"The material is made from the branches of Liu Venerate himself, with the exception of the mirror face, which is smoothed bronze iron embedded into it."

"The internal patterns are the runes of our temple; during activation, Heart Blood is sprinkled onto the back of the mirror."

"With the divine might of Liu Venerate, it can cleanse the external evil beings."

"Logically, it should be enough to deter the evil snake in the Dayin River, but since it now shows signs of transforming into a dragon, whether it can still be effective is unknown to me."

She curtsied again and said, "But this is the only item I have that might be of use."

"How did you know I would be heading to the Dayin River?"

Lin Yan asked in surprise.

Ling He whispered, "Earlier, Master Five mentioned that General Pei Xiong is your close friend. Given your nature, you’d always think about avenging him, at least to probe the circumstances."

"It seems that in High Willow City, those who are interested have a clear grasp of my character."

Lin Yan laughed, then added, "You came with Mr. Lu to Linjiang Station once and only met me once. Why such a grand gift?"

"Wu Chang’s name is renowned, who in the city does not know it?"

Ling He’s delicate face gradually turned serious as she said, "Previously maintaining order in the city, later you ascended the city wall to combat the night’s evil beings."

"On Bull Horn Mountain, that evil spirit merged with divine air kind, clearly beyond my master’s capability to resolve, only Master Five of the Refining Essence Realm could save his life."

"Afterwards, Master Five repeatedly slew Tribulation Ash demons, brandishing his sword for the ’justice’ of High Willow City and creating the bright world of today."

She curtsied and said, "Many in the temple greatly admire Master Five! I cannot assist with the matters at the Dayin River, so I can only offer this item, hoping it will be of use to Master Five."

Without waiting for Lin Yan to refuse, she then turned and retreated, mounted her horse, and prepared to leave.

"Thank you, miss. Once I return to the city, I will surely return this treasure mirror to you."

Lin Yan watched her figure, bowing in return.

"Master Five, you are too kind."

Ling He turned her horse around and headed toward the inner city, her figure dashing and composed, not like an incense burner of the temple, but more like a highly skilled and valiant female general.

"Chief Clerk Yang, gather all the young flags and arrange tonight’s patrol duties."

Lin Yan turned and entered the Linjiang Station, his expression icy.

Chief Clerk Yang jumped in surprise and said, "Are you really going? That serpent demon is about to transform into a dragon, possessing tremendously powerful abilities. Even the Deputy Commander is likely only scouting on this journey, not hoping to kill this demon dragon..."

"I have my own plans."

Lin Yan walked into the hall and sat in the higher position.

Though Chief Clerk Yang had no choice but to send someone to summon the young banners back to the Linjiang Station.

The transformed Little White Ape, Lin Xiaoqi, stood by the side and said softly, "Master, that giant snake in the Dayin River is said to have cultivated for three hundred years and is now at the point of transforming into a dragon. If it succeeds, it might become even stronger than my grandfather."

"If I really can’t beat it, just retreat and kill it another day. I’m no fool."

Lin Yan stretched out his hand as he spoke.

Little White Ape quickly handed him the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade.

Lin Yan caressed the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade, his tone calm and steady, continued, "Brother Pei was loyal and of rare good character, truly a close friend."

"He knew the dangers yet took on the mission, heading to the Residual Prison Mansion just for this piece of Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade."

"And the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade ended up in my hands."

"Yet because of this mission, he died halfway through."

"If I can’t avenge him, how can I stand in this world?"

As his voice fell, he casually tossed the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade to Little White Ape, saying, "You have half an hour to refine this Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade, enhance your own bloodline, and bolster my confidence."
