NOVEL WEB Chapter 187: Invitation
Hearing those words from Natasha's mouth, Yohan snapped out from his daze and nodded his head towards her.
"I think we are on the right path. We need to cross this valley. We are getting closer to our destination. I can feel the change in the air," he responded to Natasha as she was standing beside him while she was looking towards the valley in front of her eyes.
"I am getting a creepy feeling from that place. Look how dark that place is. Do you really want to cross this valley? We can take a different path." She tilted her head towards Yohan as she said those words.
Yohan smiled and placed his palm on her left cheek.
"Don't worry, you don't need to be afraid of anything. I am with you," he responded and both of them finally entered the dark valley together.
Meanwhile, inside the Lin clan, Alena and Diya were looking towards the old man Lin. The whole place was dead silent as both of the ladies sought an answer for their questions. Seeing those two faces, old Lin took a deep breath and nodded his head.
"After killing that bastard Nicholas, Yohan dropped his guard and he didn't know that Nicholas had planted a void detonator on his body. Yohan got trapped inside the void along with one of our soldiers, Natasha, because he was unaware about that thing which was planted on his body. I am very positive and I believe that my grandson will leave that place and find his way back home.
Both of you, please remain calm until then." The old man Lin looked towards Alena and Diya as he said those words.
Diya and Alena's facial expressions became dark as they heard about Yohan. Old Lin finally decided to explain everything he knew about Yohan. Leon remained silent and quiet as he stood there.
Diya became frozen the moment she heard about Yohan. She couldn't believe her ears or that he lied to her and those kinds of things happened to him. She was first confused about it when Su Lin revealed the truth about Nicholas' death, but when old Lin explained it all, everything became clear in front of her eyes.
"He's trapped inside the void, what do you mean, father? What is a void detonator and how is he going to find his way out? And what are you doing here? We need to find him and try to rescue him from that thing," Alena said as she looked towards old Lin with a dark expression on her face.
"That place is totally cut off from this world, a separate world which works on its own. Those void detonators are very rare and dangerous, because they can be used by anyone and no matter how high your cultivation is, you can't resist the power of a void detonator. That was a dirty way to lock someone inside the void. We can't do anything about it.
He needs to find his way out of that place," the old man Lin said as he looked at Alena and Diya.
"I want to go to the Hundred Poison valley sector. I can't sit here and wait for him to get out of that place. I want to go there, please, grandpa, take me to that place." Diya took a deep breath as she looked at the old man Lin.
Alena and Leon tilted their heads towards her as they heard her. Old Lin took a moment as he saw Diya's face.
"Okay, if that's what you want, I will take you to the Hundred Poison valley," old Lin responded to Diya.
"I am also coming with her." Alena placed her hand on Diya's shoulder as she looked at the old man Lin.
Leon and old Lin exchanged gazed as they heard Alena. Seeing those expressions, Alena looked towards Leon furiously.
"Is there a problem, father? Do you have something to say?" Alena looked towards Leon as she spoke.
"No, everything is right, if that's what you want then I am also going to accompany you. We might find a way to help him somehow." Leon smiled bitterly as he looked at his daughter. He wanted to stop her because he knew that there was nothing they could do about it. Everything depended on Yohan, but still, there was nothing he or Lin could do about it.
After all, Alena was looking very pissed and worried.

"What are the royal guards doing here inside my clan? Is there something important that you want to discuss with me?" Su Lin looked towards the man who was standing in front of him.
"It is my pleasure to meet you, lord Su Lin. My name is Rudra and I am the one of the generals of the Royal Army, and these are my trusted soldiers. We are here to give you an invitation from the royal family," that man said with a smile on his face.
"Invitation, huh?" Su Lin looked towards the man as he asked him the question.
"It's the invitation for the royal tournament. We received this invitation in a short time so I am ashamed that we didn't inform you before coming here. Things have changed in a short time. Your clan's name was not on the invitation list first but things change quickly," that man Rudra said with a smirk on his face.
Su Lin smiled as he heard him. He knew that the royal family of the northern region held a tournament every five years and various young masters and prestigious ladies from the big clans were invited for the tournament, but they needed to be known and powerful young cultivators because there were limited places for the participants.
"So, this is the invitation for Yohan, I guess?" Su Lin smiled as he looked towards Rudra.
"Indeed, lord Su Lin, you are right. This is the invitation for young master Yohan. After all, he is not certified trash anymore. He has become a famous figure within few days. I am looking forward to catching a glimpse of him in the tournament. I hope he will be there and represent the Lin clan.
I am eager to welcome him inside the royal capital." Rudra smiled as he said those words, looking towards Su Lin. The people behind him were also having the same smile on their faces as they mocked Yohan and the name of the Lin clan.
Su Lin clenched his fist after hearing those words, but suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked behind.
"Father-in-law, what are you doing here?" Su Lin asked as he looked at the old man Leon who was standing behind him. Su Lin gulped seeing him because he hadn't been able to sense his presence along with those royal guards.
