Chapter 312: Preparations Before Departure
After killing the Wind Spirit Leopard and collecting its Essence Blood and the Earth Level Six-Stars Spirit Grass, Iron Blood and the others invited Lin Yun for a gathering in the Mysterious City, but Lin Yun refused.
After bidding farewell to Iron Blood, Lin Yun planned to hunt more Tier Three Demon Beasts in the Yunlu Mountain Range. After all, his departure would last at least a few years, and possibly more than a decade. For Martial Artists, whose lifespans far exceeded those of ordinary people, a decade or so was but the blink of an eye.
Several more days passed, and less than seven days remained of the one-month deadline Luo Feng had set. After this period of hunting, Lin Yun had gathered the Essence Blood of over a thousand Tier Three Demon Beasts. At the same time, he had also hunted the vast majority of the Tier Three Demon Beasts in the Yunlu Mountain Range.
’That should be enough. It’s time to head back.’ Deciding to return, Lin Yun first took a detour with Lu Bingning and Lan Xi to the small mountain village.
This was Lan Xi’s home. She hadn’t been back since the Wind Forest Sect massacred the village; this was her first time returning.
Gazing at the hundred-plus graves on the hill behind the village, Lan Xi broke down completely, her body wracked with sobs. Lin Yun said nothing. Some things simply had to be faced. The dead could not be brought back to life. He just let Lan Xi weep in his arms.
That night, the three of them stayed in the small mountain village. The passage of a night did much to calm Lan Xi’s emotions.
Early the next morning, Lin Yun and the others set out again, heading toward the Capital City. Time was running short. With his departure imminent, Lin Yun planned to make some arrangements.
’After I leave, Lin Xiaotian and Zhang Jingxiang will be fine, but what about Lu Bingning, Lan Xi, Zhong Lin, Li Tian, and Qin Feng?’
Lin Yun’s idea was to bring them all to the Flawless Palace. After all, they would receive a better cultivation environment and resources there.
