Chapter 425: Chapter 284: Grand Sect Master of the East Mountain Prefecture’s Tribulation Ash [First Update!]

In the assembly, there were actually only three people who were completely confident they could capture the Evil Spirit alive and extract information from it.

These were the East Mountain Prefecture Master, who possessed Refining God’s Power, Mr. Lu, a temple priest who had cultivated a Primordial Spirit, and Lin Lei, who owned a Netherworld Treasure.

As for the others, even Lin Yan didn’t have full confidence that he could capture the Evil Spirit alive and force it to reveal the secrets of the Forbidden Land... Of course, if it were just about eradicating the Evil Spirit, Lin Yan felt pretty sure of success!

"..."

Lin Yan took a deep breath, frowning tightly, with no response forthcoming.

Neither Mr. Lu nor his second brother Lin Lei hailed from a Martial Artist background.

Even though Mr. Lu had cultivated a Primordial Spirit and possessed mana, his body was still of mortal flesh.

If they were to separate here, Lin Yan ultimately felt somewhat uneasy.

"I’m not a three-year-old child, what need is there for you to worry so much?"

Mr. Lu gently stroked his beard and said, "Take good care of Lin Lei; with Lv Tang’s protection and the presence of the Prefecture Master here..."

What I’m afraid of is exactly this Prefecture Master losing control!

Thinking this, Lin Yan’s gaze shifted towards the East Mountain Prefecture Master.

"As long as I live, I will ensure he remains unharmed,"

the East Mountain Prefecture Master slowly stated, "Even if I come close to losing control, I will send him away in advance, and wait for you to assist us..."

Having said this, he looked towards the remaining two passages and said somberly, "I am short on people here. For now, I can only rely on you from the express report office."

"Understood."

Lin Yan withdrew his gaze.

According to the intelligence from the Deputy Commander, the Evil Spirit on that side knew the secrets hidden within the Forbidden Land, which were extremely important.

Mr. Lu had also decided to accompany the East Mountain Prefecture Master, attempting to jointly seal the Forbidden Land.

After some thought, Lin Yan looked at the Little White Ape and said, "Lend your fierce weapon to Lv Tang for the time being."

"Ah?"

The Little White Ape reluctantly muttered, "You’re asking me to lend out my most useful weapon in such a dangerous place, what if I get killed? Won’t my mother come after you for that?"

"With me here, you won’t die."

Lin Yan’s face was expressionless as he knocked on the Little White Ape’s head.

Initially, he had planned for the Little White Ape to accompany Mr. Lu.

But the Little White Ape had greater use by his side.

In the event of a great enemy, allowing the Little White Ape to enter the Nirvana Divine Egg would see its cultivation soar as if by magic, with a tremendous increase in its spiritual path.

As long as the fearsome weapon was lent out, Lv Tang, who was at the early stage of Qi Refinement, would have killing power even fiercer than that of an average peak Qi Refining Realm practitioner.

With this arrangement, Lin Yan finally felt somewhat relieved.

"Off you go."

Mr. Lu waved his hand.

Then came the voice of Master Fu Zhong, saying, "Master, rest assured, with I accompanying Mr. Lu, we will certainly keep him safe!"

"Thank you!"

Lin Yan nodded slightly, then looked towards Li Zhen, who was of Qi Refining Realm cultivation.

Hesitating for a moment, he took out three types of Spirit Talismans from his body.

These top-tier Spirit Talismans from Liu Zun Temple were basically the highest tier available in High Willow City.

He retained only one of each type for himself, and the rest he handed over.

"This is..." Li Zhen couldn’t help but be astonished.

"I’m keeping one of each of these Spirit Talismans, but having more is of no use to me," Lin Yan’s tone remained calm as he spoke, "Today, we join forces to explore the Forbidden Land and battle side by side; strive to survive..."

"How could we possibly accept..."

Li Zhen’s expression became solemn, his mind filled with complex thoughts.

In this perilous Forbidden Land, having just one more means of defense could increase their chances of survival.

Yet now, the other party was actually offering them the very things that could save lives?

This Master not even from the East Mountain Prefecture but from the Qifeng Prefecture!

This action earned the solemn respect of everyone present.

"Wu Chang, despite your young age, your cultivation is high, and your renown profound. You have a bright future ahead and stand as a pillar of the Human Clan. Take them back,"

the East Mountain Prefecture Master said after a moment of silence, "Among all of us present here, your life is the most valuable... I feel guilty for not providing you with a means of saving your life, let alone take yours!"

"Master’s righteousness is as vast as the heavens, and we all hold it in high esteem. Please take back the Spirit Talismans!"

Li Zhen bowed in greeting.

The others unanimously knelt on one knee, their eyes resolute.

Master Fu Zhong’s face showed a range of emotions as he touched the Elixir Pills and Spirit Talismans at his waist, feeling shame, and he lowered his head.

"I don’t need these Spirit Talismans to save my life!"

Lin Yan spoke in an even tone, "If a life-threatening situation arises, it would certainly be due to a major change in the Forbidden Land... and by then, relying on these Spirit Talismans would be futile! But having the Spirit Talismans on you might save your life!"

He slapped the Spirit Talismans onto Li Zhen’s chest and continued deliberately, "Those willing to venture into the Forbidden Land are one in a thousand—brave souls who defy death! People like you should live!"

Often, it is those unafraid to die who defend the most dangerous frontiers.

And the most cowardly are those who hide behind the brave, managing to survive.

After the fearless warriors die valiantly, those shameful cowards may well cover up their own incompetence by discrediting the achievements of the former.

This may be unfair, but it is also all too common in this era.

Yet in Lin Yan’s eyes, these members of the Human Clan, who set aside life and death, are the true warriors who sustain the situation and uphold the backbone!

If such people were to die less and live more, the situation in various cities would be vastly different.

Maybe in the future, they too will lose control or come close to it, betraying today’s belief.

But at least, before they lose control, they remain the bravest and most fearless righteous warriors of the Human Clan.

"Outside the Forbidden Land, may all present here be able to regroup!"
