Chapter 2049 - 2039: Return After Departure (Second Update)

In the Tianhe Ancient Domain, the Evil Cloud Sect and the Tianhua Palace are arch-enemies, one good and one evil.

The two major sects have always had various entanglements and conflicts.

Privately, disciples often clash.

And at the higher levels of the sects, conflicts are unavoidable.

Wu Chuan and Fang Ping, the two of them, usually don’t get along.

Whenever they meet outside, they almost always end up fighting!

Although after so many years neither has emerged victorious.

But the more it is like this, the more they get energized to determine a result.

Therefore.

If one of them goes out or discovers some treasure, the other will definitely appear immediately!

Just a couple of years ago, Fang Ping of Tianhua Palace discovered an ancient tomb, and Wu Chuan came upon hearing the news.

Ultimately, the two found the most precious Beast Skin Treasure Map deep in the ancient tomb, and in the struggle, one person obtained half of it!

With only a half of the treasure map, it is definitely not possible to find the location of the treasure.

To go.

The two must accompany each other!

"What kind of treasure map is this?"

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, showing some interest.

"The Spirit Origin Treasure Map!"

Fang Ping painfully handed the beast skin to Lin Tian, explaining through gritted teeth.

Lin Tian took the beast skin from the two of them.

He then put the two pieces of the treasure map together.

Tianhua Mountain!

Many places on the beast skin map Lin Tian did not recognize.

But the three words "Tianhua Mountain," he noticed.

Not far from it, Tianhua City is also marked.

And Tianhua Mountain is located at the far left of the beast skin map.

To the east of Tianhua Mountain, there is an endless mountain range, along with a complex network of routes, making it dizzying.

However, at the very upper right corner of the map, a pentagram is marked, presumably indicating where the treasure is located.

"Spirit origin? Is it the source of Spirit Stones?"

Lin Tian looked at the two, questioning.

"To be accurate, it might be the source of Spiritual Energy! That is... it is Spiritual Energy condensed into a liquid flowing out!"

Wu Chuan took a deep breath, exclaiming.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian was greatly surprised.

If Spiritual Energy condenses into liquid, it either forms a spiritual vein, or it forms a spring source!

Whichever it is, it indicates that the Spiritual Energy there is extremely rich!

Lin Tian’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement, and he asked, "What place is to the east of Tianhua Mountain?"

"Desolate Domain!"

Wu Chuan said with great solemnity, "There are monsters rampant there, and to reach the spirit origin, you absolutely have to go through many dangers!"

Desolate Domain!

Lin Tian squinted his eyes, sneering, "How do I know you’re not deceiving me? How can the authenticity of this map be verified?"

"This map came from the ancient tomb, discovered in one of Zhou Ye’s famed treasure-seeking residences in ancient domains! The ancient tomb is just a ruse!"

Wu Chuan explained, "If you don’t trust me, go ask around the ancient domain. Many people know of Zhou Ye’s name! He was a treasure-collecting enthusiast, not even bothering to glance at anything unvaluable, let alone collecting them! We think... this treasure map might be something he left behind during his life! That spirit origin should be his discovery!"

"If you don’t believe us, we can only accept our fate!"

In the end, Wu Chuan’s face showed immense unwillingness.

Seeing this, Lin Tian knew he couldn’t force any useful information from these men.

Unless he followed them to the Tianhe Ancient Domain.

But he currently doesn’t have that much time.

He decided to wait until next month to follow Su Zhenbai’s family!

Pah-pah~

Lin Tian suddenly made a move, striking two palms lightly on Wu Chuan and Fang Ping’s foreheads.

"In your Sea of Consciousness, each of you now has one of my seals! I’ll help you lift it when I confirm the treasure map is accurate!"

Lin Tian coldly swept a glance over the group, shouting, "Now, get out!"

Sealing!

Wu Chuan and Fang Ping were scared, their expressions changed dramatically, faces ashen, eyes filled with deep fear.

Their minds sealed, meaning their lives were practically held in someone else’s hand.

This method...

The two were extremely scared, their bodies trembling.

They worried, perhaps if Lin Tian ever became displeased, one thought might bring them to an end!

"If you don’t want to leave, you can all stay!"

Lin Tian saw Wu Chuan and Fang Ping too scared to dare leave, his face immediately darkened as he shouted.

Bzzz~

Meanwhile, next to him, Evil like Xiaotian let out a terrifying sword chanting sound.

"Yes, yes, yes... Senior, we will leave immediately!"

Wu Chuan, Fang Ping, and the others were terrified, scrambling to retreat, quickly fleeing from the place.

Soon.

Only Lin Tian and Hua Donghuang were left here.

"You should leave too!"

Lin Tian coldly spoke to Hua Donghuang.

"This..."

Hua Donghuang hesitated for a moment, then said, "The legacy of Tianhua Palace and Evil Cloud Sect spans millennia and should not be underestimated! Fellow Daoist... be prudent! The old man takes his leave!"

After offering this advice, Hua Donghuang also retreated.

Once the place was vacant, Lin Tian turned and headed to where Niu Tongtian and that Little Dog had disappeared.

There, a small puddle of blood remained.

This blood was something Lin Tian had noticed earlier.

"Evil like Xiaotian did not attack them, so how was there blood left behind?"

Lin Tian furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled.

Regarding the power of space, in his previous life, Lin Tian had only grasped the superficial.

To truly break space and instantaneously reach another place, not many could achieve it!

Those who could were rarities!

Like his master, DuanMuuu Yue!

"Niu Tongtian! Once my strength improves, I will find you and make you pay!"

Having seen his treasure snatched from beneath his nose, despite not being one to fuss over minor matters, Lin Tian couldn’t let it go.

After making this firm statement, he also left Black Cloud Mountain.

However.

Just as he left Black Cloud Mountain and came to a ridge on the way back to Mizhou City, a shadow flashed before him, swift as lightning.

"Hehehe... We meet again!"

With the laughter, a Little Dog’s figure appeared in front of Lin Tian.

"Bastard Tongtian!"

Seeing the Little Dog, Lin Tian’s face darkened, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent. With a buzz, Evil like Xiaotian on his wrist transformed into flowing light, shooting skyward.

"Hey, hey, hey... Don’t attack! I’m here to return your treasure!"

Bastard Tongtian was startled, hurriedly retreating as its mouth opened wide and spat out a black object the size of half a water tank.

Seeing that object, Lin Tian immediately paused, surprised.

What the Little Dog spat out was none other than the Black Cloud Stone Bead!

Only now, the Black Cloud Stone Bead was only half!

Returning half to me?

Lin Tian looked at the Little Dog in astonishment, "Where is Niu Tongtian? What does this mean?"

"Hehe... He was wounded by your sword, and doesn’t dare come! Calm down!"

The Little Dog warily glanced at Evil like Xiaotian Sword, speaking with a smile, "But Niu Tongtian is stubborn. Once he has the treasure, he certainly won’t give it all up! So he asked me to bring you the other half! Don’t be angry... He hopes you won’t chase him in the future!"

Hmm?

Niu Tongtian was indeed injured by the Flying Sword!

Thinking back to the puddle of blood inside Black Cloud Mountain, Lin Tian was amazed.
