The outcome of the battle had been at odds with the expectations of many spectators. As they stared at Song Qing's pitiful figure as it slid down the wall, the two old managers of the Thousand Gold Association were first startled before their facial expressions quickly turned slightly ugly. A moment before, they were talking about how competent Song Qing was. They never imagined that the duel would end like this.
“Hehe, my choice is not bad right, you two?” Xuan Su smiled. Right now, he had hidden the shock in his heart. Meanwhile, her beautiful eyes were specifically glancing at Lin Dong. The latter's Mental Energy seemed to be stronger than the ordinary 1st Seal Symbol Master. Otherwise, he would not be able to easily throw away the Qing Song of the Heavenly Yuan Middle Stage.
The two old managers let out a hollow laugh and could not help but nod in agreement: "These two old men admire Manager Su's outstanding judgment ..."
When he saw that these two old men had stopped interfering, Xia Zhilan gently sighed in relief. Immediately, her gaze quickly swept over Song Qing's regretful figure when her beautiful facial expression suddenly changed and she hurriedly shouted: "Song Qing, what are you doing ?!"
“Bang!”
Before Xia Zhilan's shout disappeared, Song Qing, who now had a horrifying expression on her face, once again dashed forward. A sharp dagger appeared in his hand as he viciously stabbed at Lin Dong.
When he saw that this person was still refusing to give up, Lin Dong's brows furrowed. Just as he was planning to make a move, a figure suddenly appeared before his eyes. Immediately, a mature and beautiful figure appeared in front of him. With a wave of his jade-like hand, a shockwave of Yuan Power, which was akin to a storm appeared and instantly overturned Song Qing.
“Such power!”
As he stared at Xuan Su, who appeared in front of him, Lin Dong's heart was slightly moved as he stared at the former alluring figure with a strange look. He never expected that the beautiful Manager Xu was actually this strong. Based on the previous move, it seemed like he would not lose to Wei Tong of the Blood Cloth Sect.
"The Association of a Thousand Gold is indeed extraordinary ..." A flash flashed across Lin Dong's eyes. For the first time, he had finally acknowledged this faction which was one of the top three powers in Yan City.
“Song Qing, this place belongs to my Thousand Gold Association, not your Lagoon Family. Right now, Lin Dong is a guest of our Thousand Gold Association. Hope you can show respect! ” Xuan Su's eyebrows fused together as he stared at Song Qing. A hint of coldness mixed in his normally pleasant and gentle voice. Evidently, Song Qing's actions had infuriated her a little.
"Go now. I'll tell your father about the matter today. ”
When he heard Xuan Su's words, Song Qing's face turned green and pale. However, he did not have the guts to fight Manger Su. Instantly, he hatefully looked at Lin Dong before he left.
“Chairman, it's late. It should be time for us to leave. ” After he chased Song Qing away, Xuan Su's tone of voice was still a little ugly as he turned around and spoke to the two elders in an indifferent manner.
After hearing this word, the two elders had no choice but to nod their heads reluctantly as they stood up and left.
“Snorts, these two parents must have received some benefits from the Song Family. That's why they keep pushing him.” As she stared at the shadows of the elders leaving, Xia Zhilan snorted softly.
“The Song family is opportunists. On the surface, they looked close to our Thousand Gold Association. However, they also had some secret relations with the Blood Wolf Sect and the City Governor. Therefore, how can we let Song Qing take advantage of us easily this time.”
Upon completion, Xuan Su's beautiful eyes turned towards Lin Dong, who was standing to one side. With a smile that seemed to have a deeper meaning, he said: "Little boy, it seems like you have hidden a lot of your talent."
“Manager Su generous. My skills are inferior compared to yours. ” Lin Dong laughed blankly as he replied.
“Alright, let's stop with flattery. It's time to go ... "Xuan Su rolled his eyes at him. Without further ado, he waved his jade-like hands and brought them out of the Thousand Gold Association.
“At least you have some ability. If you can't even defeat Song Qing, then even if you participate in the competition, you won't be anything but ruining the scenery.” Xia Zhilan walked towards Lin Dong as she uttered it in an indifferent tone.
Lin Dong spread his hand and refused to comment.
“Do not worry, we will do our best to achieve two wins in a row. That way, you don't have to do anything. ”
“Then... I won't be able to enjoy Celestial And Pool either right?” Lin Dong smiled as he said.
After hearing these words, a charming smile appeared on Xia Zhilan's pretty face: "Good answer ..." After he finished, he did not linger any longer as he kindly turned around and quickly followed behind Xuan Su.
"Let's hope so ..." Lin Dong smiled as he followed them.
When Lin Dong walked out, there were already several dozen horses waiting for them outside the Thousand Gold Association. As he scanned his surroundings, he saw that amidst the crowd, was a handsome young man who smiled and spoke to Xia Zhilan.
“This is the person who replaced Song Qing. His name was Lin Dong and was rather skilled. He had just managed to defeat Song Qing..” As Lin Dong walked forward, Xia Zhilan started introducing him.
The other party's politeness gave Lin Dong a good impression as he cupped his fists and returned a greeting.
“In addition to the two of us, he is the last member representing the Thousand Gold Association for the Battle of the Heavenly Pool today, Liu Yi. However, he was a more reliable person. Just like me, he is at the Heavenly Yuan Late Stage. ” Next to them, Xia Zhilan interrupted.
"Hehe, brother Lin Dong, please don't listen to his nonsense." After hearing Xia Zhilan's words, Liu Yi hurriedly smiled as she said.
Lin Dong laughed. He was already used to this woman's demonic tongue and could not be bothered to lower himself to his level.
"Alright, don't waste time talking, it's time to go ..." On one side, Xuan Su jumped onto a good horse. With a light shout, he led the group as they made their way towards the outskirts of Yan City.
“Brother Lin Dong, let's go. Our destination was deep in the mountains to the east of Yan City. The trip will take about an hour and a half.” Liu Yi told Lin Dong, before the first one immediately jumped onto the horse and quickly caught up with the main convoy. Behind him, Lin Dong also quickly climbed up his horse and followed them.
…
The place that Lin Dong and the others were traveling to, was a place deep within a mountain located on the eastern side of Yan City. As the matter of the right to the "Dant Heavenly Columns" was still unresolved, the Thousand Gold Association and the Blood Wolf Guild had sent some people to stand guard there. The two factions watched each other warily, neither side dared to relax.
Therefore, the location of the Celestial Pool Battle was set near the "Celestial And Pool". Therefore, once the winner is decided, they can immediately claim it.
As they traveled swiftly for about an hour, the group in front began to gradually slow down. Lin Dong raised his eyes as he stared at the dense mountain forest in front of him. Faintly, he could hear the roars of some ferocious beasts. This place is a nest of Demon Beasts. Hence, only factions like the Blood Wolf Guild and the Thousand Merchants Association would dare to place themselves in a place like this.
"Let's go. Everyone be careful when we climb the mountain. Even though we have expelled most of the Demon Beasts here, there are still quite a lot of them sneaking through the cracks ... "Xuan Su jumped off the horse, without further ado, he immediately dashed towards the deep mountains. Behind him, a large group of troops quickly followed as the sound of wind blowing continuously rang out in the forest.
Lin Dong was located roughly in the middle of the convoy. As he warily scanned his surroundings, he could sense that there were indeed some Demon Beasts in this mountain. Although this crew was strong, it would still be troublesome if they were attacked. So it's best to stay careful.
Fortunately, Lin Dong's fear did not come true. About ten minutes later, a dense forest began to open up. Immediately after, Lin Dong began to feel his gaze widen. It seemed like they had made it to the top of the mountain.
Just as Lin Dong and the others appeared at the top of the mountain, the sound of bow being drawn sounded from around them. Before Lin Dong could hurriedly retreat, a shout immediately sounded from the front.
As Lin Dong raised his head and looked at the mountain peak, he realized that at the top of the mountain there were two groups, both of them already in a state of high alert. Located on the edge of a mountain, is a towering rock formation that soars into the sky. Beneath it was a small, crystal-clear pond that was slightly more than three meters long. The water in the pond looked amazingly magical as half of it continued to boil and bubble, while a bone-piercing mist floated above the other half. These two parts are obviously contrasting elements but they can coexist within this small pool.
"I guess this must be the one called Celestial And Pool ..." Lin Dong's eyes swept over the small pond as he gently muttered to himself.
"Manager Su, you really took your time ..." Just as Lin Dong's gaze was attracted by the Celestial Dan Pool, a cold voice suddenly echoed. He turned to look, though, only to see that in front of the large group was a tall and burly middle-aged man with a giant blood wolf tattoo on his body who was staring straight at them.
There was no extremely powerful Yuan Power surging on the man's body. However, as he stood there, he felt like a gigantic mountain. No one dared to underestimate him.
Lin Dong's eyes met briefly with the giant man before he immediately retracted his gaze. From the latter's body, he could feel an immense pressure. This immense pressure was something he did not feel even from Wei Tong.
“That guy is the head of the Blood Wolf Gang. People called him Mountain Hand Yue Shan. He was the elite of the Yuan And Perfect Stage. In this entire Yan City, there was hardly anyone who could match him who was also known as the tyrant of Yan City!” Beside Lin Dong, Liu Yi said softly.
Lin Dong gently nodded his head. Yuan And Perfect Stage. After reaching this stage, it was only a step away to reach the so-called three stages of 'Capture, Create, and Transform'. If Yue Shan could reach that stage, regardless of Yan City, even in the entire Tiandu Province, he would be considered a legendary figure…
“Hehe, Head Gang Yue, why can't you be impatient Just as Yue Shan spoke, on the side of the Thousand Gold Association, a man wearing a silk robe, who looked like a merchant also gently smiled. He was the only one who was not affected by the formidable aura of his ex.
"This man ... I suspect he must be the leader of the Thousand Gold Association, Xia Wanjin ..."
This time, even without Liu Yi's help, Lin Dong was able to deduce the man's identity. In Yan City, the only people who dared to speak to Yue Shan in such a manner were probably the leader of the Thousand Gold Association, Xia Wan Jin, and the Governor of Yan City, Shi Haotian…
"Two Stage Practitioners Yuan And Perfect ..."
As he stared at the two imposing figures, a small flame lit up within Lin Dong's heart. After all, he had never expected to meet such a powerful practitioner in Qingyang City …
Yue Shan glanced at Xia Wanjing, before he waved his hand and said: “Let's stop that nonsense. Since we have all arrived, let's start. If we drag on further, the energy within the Celestial And Pool will be lost..”.
