After dealing with the white-haired elder, Lin Yun burst into speed, chasing down the others.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
The fleeing Baili Clan members, devoid of resistance, were swiftly cut down by Lin Yun, Xiao Bai, and Old Man Yan’s relentless attacks, leaving none alive!
This scene left the distant spectating teams in awe.
“Who would’ve thought the Baili Clan’s team would be wiped out like this, with only their leader, Elder Mu, escaping.”
“Yeah, the Baili Clan’s team was no weak force, and these were their elites. Such a loss is huge for them.”
“Who is that young guy? His strength is terrifying, holding his own against Elder Mu, a Tribulation Realm cultivator, even forcing him to use a forbidden technique without gaining the upper hand.”
“His physical strength seems to have reached Myriad Forms Body. That’s insane!”
“Someone with such strength should be famous, but I don’t recognize him.”
“Me neither…”
…
In the battlefield.
“Senior Yan, thank you,” Lin Yun said, clasping his fists.
Without Yan’s timely intervention, the battle wouldn’t have ended so easily. Lin Yun’s fight with Elder Mu would’ve been grueling! After all, completely overpowering a forbidden technique-using Elder Mu required a significant gap in strength.
Lin Yun’s current power wasn’t enough to thoroughly outclass him.
Additionally, Lin Yun’s successful escape last time was thanks to Yan, so he owed him gratitude for that too.
“I owed you a big favor. Helping you is only natural,” Yan said with a grin.
He continued, “It’s a pity we let Elder Mu escape.”
“He’s alone now and can’t cause any trouble. No need to worry,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
With his current strength, even if Elder Mu sought revenge, he lacked the ability.
At that moment, Xiao Bai, in human form, approached.
“Master, here are the spoils. I’ve collected them all.”
Xiao Bai handed Lin Yun a pile of storage rings, taken from the fallen Baili Clan members.
Lin Yun took the rings and probed them.
Since their owners were dead, accessing them was easy.
“Hm? What’s this?”
Lin Yun flipped his hand, retrieving a translucent bead from one of the rings.
The bead was about the size of a fingertip.
“This bead can be used as a Tribulation Pill. One is worth ten Tribulation Pills. Several groups in the spiritual treasure have found these, bred in certain special environments here,” Yan explained.
“Oh, that’s impressive. These are good stuff,” Lin Yun’s eyes lit up as he stored the bead.
Lin Yun then tallied the spoils. Across all the storage rings, there were tens of thousands of these beads—equivalent to hundreds of thousands of Tribulation Pills!
This was a massive haul. Additionally, the rings contained over a hundred thousand Tribulation Pills, more than a billion spirit crystals, and the group’s weapons and other items.
Undoubtedly, another bountiful harvest.
While Lin Yun didn’t need these resources now, his subordinates could use them.
“Xiao Bai, you can use these beads too. Take ten thousand,” Lin Yun said, handing Xiao Bai ten thousand translucent beads.
“Thank you, Master,” Xiao Bai nodded happily.
“Senior Yan, you fought too, so you get a share. Here’s ten thousand for you,” Lin Yun offered another ten thousand beads.
“I’m Tribulation Realm. What use do I have for these? Keep them. Besides, I helped you to repay your favor,” Yan said, waving it off with a smile.
“By the way, Senior Yan, how did you reach Tribulation Realm? You weren’t before, right?” Lin Yun asked curiously.
“After we left last time, I prepared to face my tribulation. My lifespan was running out, so I couldn’t delay. After half a year of preparation, I still failed. Luckily, my defense was strong, and with some luck, I survived, becoming Tribulation Realm,” Yan said无奈ly.
Lin Yun took a deep breath, sighing inwardly.
This stirred a nameless pressure in Lin Yun’s heart. Would he succeed in his future tribulation? If he failed and became Tribulation Realm, it’d be disastrous!
The odds of succeeding were slim!
Lin Yun could only prepare as much as possible and hope to pass his tribulation successfully.
“It’s normal. How many actually succeed? Surviving a failed tribulation is lucky in itself, extending my life a bit, letting me live a few more years,” Yan said with a smile, clearly at peace.
He turned to Lin Yun, “You, on the other hand, have boundless potential. Youth is great, full of possibilities. By the way, how did your body suddenly reach late-stage Myriad Forms Body?”
“I got some opportunities in this spiritual treasure. That’s why the Baili Clan was after me,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Yan nodded in realization, “Seems you’ve got some luck.”
“Senior Yan, what’s your plan next?” Lin Yun asked.
“Eat, drink, and wait for death. As a Tribulation Realm cultivator, I’ve no future. As for coming to this spiritual treasure, it’s just for fun. I was locked up so long, I was bored,” Yan said with a laugh.
“Since you’ve no plans after this, when the spiritual treasure exploration ends, come with me to my side?” Lin Yun extended an invitation.
“We’ll talk after we leave. For now, let’s focus on exploring the spiritual treasure,” Yan said.
“Alright,” Lin Yun nodded.
Indeed, they needed to seize the time to explore the spiritual treasure for more opportunities.
“Lin Yun, this spiritual treasure is vast. Splitting up to search will cover more ground,” Yan suggested.
“Agreed,” Lin Yun nodded.
Splitting into two groups would let them explore more areas.
“Take this jade pendant. If you’re in danger, crush it to notify me, and I’ll do my best to come help,” Yan said, handing Lin Yun a jade pendant.
Lin Yun took it, saying, “This pendant must be a pair. You have the other one, right? If you need me, crush yours to let me know.”
“Good. I’ll head off then,” Yan said, bidding farewell and leaving.
“Xiao Bai, let’s go too.”
Lin Yun and Xiao Bai quickly left the area.
On the way.
“Master, where are we exploring now?” Xiao Bai asked.
“I want to return to that palace and take a look,” Lin Yun said, gazing into the distance with a deep expression.
The massive stone pillar in that palace had triggered a reaction in *Withered Silence*, and Lin Yun was eager to find out why. But last time, Prince Yi had forced him out, preventing further investigation.
