Chapter 692: Chapter 689: Shrine Disappears

Lin Tian flipped open the pharmacist’s notes and took a cursory glance. They were all Oda Manaka’s medication experiments and insights, described in great detail. From this, one could see that she had a profound command of the Huaxia Chinese language.

In the pharmacist’s notes, sometimes there were only small marginal annotations in Chinese, which she used authentically. Lin Tian also noticed a phenomenon that not only Oda Manaka knew Chinese, but Guizhong Yilang did as well. Probably, they had learned it to gain more formidable knowledge from Huaxia.

After putting away the pharmacist’s notes, Lin Tian opened the "Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture" again. This book was still a handwritten copy, but unlike the notes, it was not about medication insights but rather a classic text, possibly transcribed by someone in the past from the original "Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture."

Such a book was also extremely precious; for a pharmacist, its value was no less than that of the original.

"I’m very thankful to Miss Yue’er for these two books and the medication cauldron; they are very important to me," Lin Tian expressed his thanks.

He had previously only learned acupuncture, and the Nine Needle Technique was formidable, but some illnesses could not be cured by acupuncture alone. Now, with the "Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture" and the pharmacist’s notes, if he could thoroughly grasp them, Lin Tian believed his medical skills would certainly improve by leaps and bounds.

Although Lin Tian had no plans to become a doctor, and he wouldn’t fall ill and need curing himself, learning medical skills could be crucial, potentially saving the life of a friend or solving a major problem when the time came. Mrs. Xiao and Song Yanan were the best examples.

"It’s really not easy to get a big pervert like you to say thank you. Remember, next time you should call me Sister Yue, I’m older than you," Li Yue said proudly, tilting up her little face as if helping Lin Tian was something to be proud of.

"Yes, Sister Li," Lin Tian deliberately replied, provoking the little girl to stamp her foot, ready to scold him.

"Make way, ladies and gents, the helicopter is starting to load up," Thunder Wolf shouted loudly, his call interrupting her irritation.

The helicopter was transporting supplies, and the people brought by Thunder Wolf operated with precision and efficiency, moving with the speed of wartime relocation, and the cargo was quickly loaded up.

"Report, Captain Lei, the cargo has been loaded. Awaiting further instructions!" A team member ran over to report to Thunder Wolf.

"Alright, I know. You guys board first, and I’ll ask Phoenix to see if there are any more tasks," Thunder Wolf nodded, signaling his teammates to board while he trotted over to Ning Luoxi for instructions.

"Thunder Wolf, you and the others go ahead and board. I will be there shortly," Ning Luoxi ordered.

Thunder Wolf, having received the command, boarded the helicopter with Ghost and the others.

"Let’s go as well. The shrine is empty; there’s nothing more to do here," Lin Tian said to Ning Luoxi, eager to experience what it felt like to ride in a helicopter.

Ning Luoxi gave him a strange look and said, "You drove the Xiao Family’s Land Rover here, are you planning to leave it in the wilderness?"

"Alright then," Lin Tian replied helplessly. With everything that had happened, he had indeed forgotten about the Land Rover.

"Brother Lin, I’ll go with you," Kikuchi Mika suddenly said.

Ning Luoxi didn’t say anything and went with the Heavenly Master Girl and the Li Qingyun granddaughter duo to board the helicopter. The five helicopters took off one after another, their roars fading into the distance, and the shrine returned to its former tranquility.

Lin Tian looked around, and the shrine was in ruins, with collapsed buildings, shattered steps, and no longer possessed its former shrine. Although the lights were still on, they no longer shone with their past brilliance.

He felt somewhat emotional; his initial intention was merely to sneak into the shrine and capture Oda Manaka, but who would have expected so much to happen.

The Demon Blade emerged, destroying Shishen, killing the Half Zombie, wittingly fighting against Oda Manaka, battling Onmyoji, breaking out of the prison Barrier, and in the end, a Third-level Yellow-eyed Zombie appeared, and it was still unknown whether it was foe or friend.

The eerie buried ground below, the mysterious calling voice—thinking of this, Lin Tian turned to look toward the direction of the main hall, where the entrance to the burial ground was. What exactly was it? A question rose in his heart.

In the end, Lin Tian chose not to explore further. With Kikuchi Mika by his side, some things were inconvenient to do. He did not linger any longer, turning and walking down the stone steps. Kikuchi Mika didn’t speak, quietly following him, very obedient.

To save time, Lin Tian walked about ten meters before picking up Kikuchi Mika to run faster; otherwise, at her normal human speed, it would take until dawn to reach the place where the Range Rover was parked.

Kikuchi Mika had one advantage: if you didn’t speak to her, she would also keep silent. Even being picked up like this, she did not curse Lin Tian as a big pervert or resist, perfectly embodying the docility of a Japanese woman.

After a night of battle, Lin Tian also felt mentally exhausted. He didn’t speak, just focused on speeding up. With his pace, he soon left the shrine, passed through the grove, and quickly returned to where the Range Rover was parked.

After setting Kikuchi Mika in the passenger seat, Lin Tian returned to his seat, started the car, and sped away from the place. The further he got from the shrine, the less visible the lights became, until they disappeared completely.

About ten minutes after Lin Tian had left, the pitch-black sky suddenly emitted a ray of light coming straight out of the main hall of the shrine. After reaching high above the shrine, the ray exploded, and bits of light scattered, enveloping the entire shrine.

After a few flashes, the lights transformed into a semi-transparent screen of light and then vanished. Along with the disappearing light screen, the shrine disappeared as well.

If Lin Tian had looked back at that moment, looking at the entrance site, he would have seen only an ordinary hillside, no lights, no archways, and certainly no long stone steps!

Of course, Lin Tian wouldn’t look back. At that moment, he was speeding along the highway, having returned to Kyoto City.

Even in the middle of the night, Kyoto City was still a city that never slept. In this advanced metropolis with its thriving nightlife, the night and neon lights concealed who knows how many crimes taking place. With the character of the Demon Blade, it would certainly attempt to massacre the city of Kyoto.

Returning to the Tianfu Restaurant of the Xiao Family, the car’s dashboard clock showed it was already five in the morning, with just over an hour until daybreak.

Lin Tian parked the car in the garage and led Kikuchi Mika into the Tianfu Restaurant. After the auction incident, the security guards recognized Lin Tian, and he and Kikuchi Mika passed through unimpeded. No one stopped them; in fact, the restaurant staff on night duty even nodded in respect when they saw Lin Tian.

No one outside obstructed them, yet back at the villa where the Xiao Family mother and daughter lived, a metal gate barred the entrance. The lights in the yard were on, but no one opened the gate for Lin Tian.

"Miss?" Lin Tian called out, neither too loudly nor too softly.

He thought Miss might be too worried to sleep and felt a bit smug about it. She’s often cold to me, but deep down she’s passionate, Lin Tian proudly thought. But then he felt a bit sorry for the little girl. She’d be worn out from not sleeping so late, and she’d had a busy day too.

"Who is the woman by your side?" Soon, Miss Xiao’s voice indeed came from behind the gate, but her tone was different from Lin Tian’s expectation, as the question was asked with a bit of coldness and a lot of anger.
