Chapter 1267: Chapter 1268: The Great Elder Takes Action to Save Them
“Capture me? Why do you want to capture me? Aren’t you afraid that my Master, the Bright True Master, will hold you accountable?” Lin Yifan questioned.
“Your Master? Do you think your Master will know about this?”
The prominent figures around him sneered back.
They went to great lengths to lure Lin Yifan here to prevent being discovered. Therefore, taking care of Lin Yifan here wouldn’t leave any trace, nor would anyone find out.
However, nothing can be done perfectly, and just as they finished speaking, a solemn coughing sound came from afar.
“Cough, cough!”
Everyone’s expression stiffened, and they could no longer smile.
They could clearly feel the inner strength contained in this voice, not inferior to any one of them, so they felt there was trouble.
They didn’t know who the person was, but one thing was certain: it wasn’t someone from their side.
If it’s not someone from their side, who could it be? The first person that popped into their minds was the Medicine Saint. Hadn’t they just mentioned the Medicine Saint? Would he come out to slap them in the face for their rudeness and arrogance?
This was the last result they wanted to see, so with a nervous heart, they waited for the owner of the voice to appear.
A few seconds later, the owner of the voice appeared in the sky above the slums.
Seeing this figure, the prominent figures from the various sects were shocked. They never expected that the person coming was the Great Elder of the Medicinal Saint Valley — Gao Ziyun.
They had gone to great lengths to lure Lin Yifan and Xiaofang here to avoid being discovered by Gao Ziyun. Yet, how could such a seamless plan have a flaw? They really couldn’t understand.
An old “friend” came here, and they didn’t dare not to show face, so they all put on fake smiles and greeted, “Brother Ziyun, long time no see. How have you been?”
“The same old, not as joyful as you brothers!” Gao Ziyun replied.
“Hehe! Brother Ziyun is being humble.”
Gao Ziyun sneered, not wanting to say much, and directly got to the point: “Old friends surrounding our Medicinal Saint Valley disciples, what is the meaning of this?”
“Seeing their excellent skills, we just wanted to spar for a bit, that’s all, Brother Ziyun, don’t overthink it.” The prominent figures from the various sects answered, a bit embarrassed.
Right now, they couldn’t afford to turn against the Medicinal Saint Valley. So as long as they could endure, they would; they wouldn’t offend if they didn’t have to.
“Really? Old friends have quite some regard for these juniors from our Medicinal Saint Valley, don’t you? After all, you are True Master Realm experts; how could you bully the young as an elder?”
Gao Ziyun was sharp-tongued, and the truth was clear to the wise. They simply refrained from tearing this paper because everyone was familiar.
“Brother Ziyun, you’re overthinking. We just wanted to spar with them at the same realm, not use real strength to bully the young.” The prominent figures from the various sects explained.
“Oh? Have you started?” Gao Ziyun asked.
His junior nephew was invincible in the same realm, and he was very much looking forward to seeing his old friends being taught a lesson by Lin Yifan, this junior.
“Not yet.”
“Then hurry up and start! I really want to know whether our Medicinal Saint Valley juniors are stronger, or you old brothers are stronger.” Gao Ziyun urged without a hint of worry.
“No need, we suddenly remembered something unfinished, let’s do it next time. Brother Ziyun, farewell!”
The prominent figures from the various sects hastily answered and left hurriedly, escaping in panic.
With Gao Ziyun’s interference, today’s matter couldn’t be done properly. So rather than losing face here, it’s better to leave early and plan the next step early.
Additionally, they didn’t intend to take Lin Yifan’s life, just wanted to bind him, preventing him from participating in the Secret Realm treasure hunt.
The reason for this idea was a rather laughable concern.
In just a few months, Lin Yifan found two Immortal Rings, suggesting a strong affinity for the rings; he may even have some magical treasure for finding them. And they suspect there is an Immortal Ring in the Northeast Secret Realm. Therefore, to prevent another ring from falling into Lin Yifan’s hands, they resorted to this desperate tactic.
As such, having no deep hatred against Lin Yifan, they saw no need to tear faces with the Medicinal Saint Valley and put Lin Yifan to death.
Watching the backs of these “old friends” leave, Gao Ziyun smirked sarcastically.
This group is really too cunning. Had it not been for the Medicine Saint’s reminder to watch over Lin Yifan before departure, he wouldn’t have known Lin Yifan was being set up and framed.
Lin Yifan and Xiaofang breathed a sigh of relief; the situation just now was really too terrifying. They were like birds in a cage, at the mercy of others, with no room for resistance.
After this incident, Lin Yifan realized that the Instant Teleport Charm was not omnipotent. So, he had to prepare an alternative escape method or a more advanced spatial escape method.
He thought of the array, which could open a Void Channel, allowing one to traverse from one end of reality to the other.
The Instant Teleport Charm works on this principle, enabling instant movement functionality.
“Are you okay?”
Seeing the pale faces of these two juniors, Gao Ziyun asked with concern.
Facing so many prominent figures, any Divinity Transformation Realm junior would be terrified or trembling, so he understood why Lin Yifan and Xiaofang were so frightened.
“We’re okay! Thank you, Great Elder, for saving us.”
Lin Yifan and Xiaofang were full of gratitude. If it weren’t for the Great Elder arriving in time, they might have met their end here today.
“We are of the same sect. No need to thank me. Quickly pack up and go back to rest!” Gao Ziyun urged.
“Okay!”
Lin Yifan and Xiaofang didn’t dare disobey.
However, before returning, Lin Yifan wanted to clarify one thing, whether the little boy who led them into the trap had been lying the whole time. If so, he wouldn’t spare the boy.
The boy was hiding in his house, and he could sense the boy’s presence. So after informing the Great Elder, he went straight to a family’s door, breaking it down in search of the boy.
The boy hid behind his father, trembling all over.
He knew that failure would certainly endanger himself, and therefore felt very uneasy.
“Little bastard! Get out here!”
Lin Yifan roared at the shabby house, his hair standing on end, seething with rage.
Seeing Lin Yifan’s face full of anger, the boy’s father hurried forward, bowing and apologizing softly, “Sir, it’s all my fault, please don’t blame my child!”
“He almost got me killed just now, I’m going to settle this with him!” Lin Yifan’s attitude was firm, he would not forgive the boy.
“Sir, whatever it is, come at me, don’t harm my son!”
The boy’s father kneeling on the ground, hugged Lin Yifan’s thigh, showing compassionate fatherly love.
