NOVEL WEB Chapter 385 Joining_1
Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm.
Inside a cave dwelling in the valley, Lin Tianming sat cross-legged on the ground, his even breathing indicating he was deep in cultivation.
Ever since his arrival, he had been cultivating inside the cave dwelling for two months, never taking a single step outside.
The place was very secluded, with Hu Yuan's Spirit Beast, the Purple Gold Eagle, on watch; these past months had been relatively peaceful.
Now, after two months of cultivation, his aura was incredibly dense, and his physical state had reached its peak.
Outside the valley at this moment, Yang Chen and his fleeing group appeared here.
Looking around, there were only sixteen people left in their two parties, nine from Myriad Medicine Valley and seven from Zhenyang Sect.
By this time, the cultivators were panting heavily, nearly all of them pale-faced, with many carrying injuries, their auras extremely weak.
It seemed like they had been greatly exhausted under the relentless pursuit of Chen Jianbin and others, putting them in a very disadvantageous situation.
At this moment, Yang Chen, who was leading the group, seemed to sense something unusual about the valley ahead.
It wasn't just him; his companions like He Xin also noticed something off, and they began to investigate.
Clearly, the cultivators who managed to survive under the pursuit of the Golden Sword Sect disciples were all at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, with over half of them having reached Great Perfection.
Such cultivators, despite Lin Tianming's obscure concealments, could still find something peculiar with meticulous searching.
At this very moment, a cultivator behind Yang Chen glanced in the direction deep within the valley and finally spoke up.
"Brother Yang, fellow daoists of the Zhenyang Sect, there seems to be some fluctuations of formations here, someone must be in secluded cultivation!"
Hearing this, Yang Chen nodded and said, "With Brother Yan's eyes as a Second Order Mid-Grade Array Master, he shouldn't be mistaken."
According to what Yang Chen said, the Myriad Medicine Valley cultivator who spoke was a Second Order Mid-Grade Array Master.
Upon reflection, this was not strange.
After all, sects like Myriad Medicine Valley had a history of at least a thousand years, with a rich and comprehensive inheritance in the Four Arts of Cultivation.
It is said that within Myriad Medicine Valley, there was even a Third Order Formation Master; it was quite normal for several Second Order Array Masters to be present.
With the eyes of an Array Master, it wasn't going to be easy for Lin Tianming's rudimentary concealments to deceive them.
As expected, among the remaining from Zhenyang Sect, there was also an Array Master present.
This man was named Guo Feng, at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, with his formation skills also at the level of Second Order Low Quality.
If Yan Hao from Myriad Medicine Valley could detect it, Guo Feng, being an Array Master of the same caliber, naturally sensed these anomalies as well.
After a thorough investigation by Guo Feng, he spoke up, "Brother Yan is right, the formations here are intact, and the cultivator who arrived must not have left yet!"
Hearing Guo Feng's words, Yan Hao nodded and echoed.
"Brother Guo is correct, with the closing of the secret realm imminent, the cultivator hiding here for cultivation clearly intends to wait until the realm closes to leave."
"However, the identity of this person is likely to be a Loose Cultivator or a disciple from our sects, and most likely not from the Golden Sword Sect. This is good news."
Yan Hao's words immediately drew the attention of some cultivators.
Their current situation was grim, with Chen Jianbin and the others chasing them relentlessly. Although they had managed to get a brief respite, the distance wasn't large and they could be caught up to at any moment.
If they were to fall into a predicament again, escaping would not be so easy.
And here was an unidentified cultivator; if they could get him to join their side, it might be of some help.
Understanding this, Yang Chen and the others quickly came to a decision to make contact and try their luck.
Deciding this, Yang Chen communicated with He Xin for a moment, and they quickly reached an agreement.
Immediately after, Yang Chen raised his hand to launch an attack towards the interior of the valley.
"Whoosh..."
The sword light easily broke through the warning formations, immediately revealing the true entrance to the valley.
At the same time, a sharp screech sounded as Hu Yuan's Purple Gold Eagle Spirit Beast soared into the sky, quickly plunging into the valley and disappearing from sight.
In that instant, many people on the scene looked on enviously at the sight of the Purple Gold Eagle.
After all, Second Order flying Spiritual Birds were rare, and even for powerful forces like the three great sects, the number of Second Order flying Demonic Beasts was limited, with even fewer that could be tamed.
Even among these talented disciples, not many had flying Spirit Beasts.
Therefore, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators sought to possess one, and these individuals were no exception.
In the midst of the numerous cultivators' discussions, Li Xiuyuan's face lit up with joy as he muttered to himself.
"This is a Second Order Purple Gold Eagle, and it has been tamed. If I remember correctly, doesn't Lin also have one?!"
"Could it be that the one in secluded cultivation here is Lin Tianming, whom we have not seen for a long time?"
Hearing his words, Long Qingshui nodded in agreement. They, along with a few others, had fought side by side in the great battle of Yuyao City and had heard of Lin Tianming's Spirit Beast being a Purple Gold Eagle.
Li Xiuyuan, who had interacted with Lin Tianming several times, had even seen Xiao Diao's figure once.
Since Lin Tianming's whereabouts in the secret realm had been a mystery, seeing a Second Order Purple Gold Eagle naturally led him to think about Lin Tianming, whom they hadn't encountered for a year.
