Chapter 79: Pink Jelly

"Finally completed..."

Lin Yu descended from the sky into the valley, frowning slightly as he examined the patterns on the rock walls on both sides.

The patterns added later by Wu Wu Gensheng had all been removed by him; although many of the remaining patterns were covered by the former, restoring and completing them was not difficult for the current Lin Yu.

Unfortunately, compared to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley of Heaven-Reaching, his work still lacked a certain something.

There was no way; the Qin Ling region was vast, with long earth veins, and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley was built upon a natural Qi formation, whereas this was merely an island in the Atlantic Ocean with limited earth vein power. Without employing some means to change heaven and earth, it was indeed very difficult to reach the level of the original.

"Never mind. The island was originally for concealment; making sweeping changes to the earth veins would be putting the cart before the horse."

"Let it be. At least this Heaven-Reaching Valley is a complete version, without the aftereffect of being unable to Disperse Power, which is enough..."

Thinking this, Lin Yu turned his head and looked out toward the world along the narrow valley.

He saw a black car speeding along the road outside the valley, which soon stopped at the valley entrance.

The car door opened, and Shadow Three, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, stepped out. Looking at Lin Yu approaching from ahead, he respectfully said, "My Lord True Lord!"

Lin Yu stopped beside him, glancing at him and saying, "Speak. What news do you have?"

Shadow Three respectfully said, "First, Behemoth is extremely dissatisfied with the Nether Pavilion's refusal to accept missions. Even Luo En Keller threatened us in a secret call, saying he would retaliate against the Nether Pavilion's assets in North America."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "So he really made a move?"

Shadow Three shook his head and said, "Of course not. The secret commission on Nathan Island was Luo En Keller's personal action. Although we refused, we did not leak any secrets, so Behemoth has no reason to act against us."

"As for Keller, he just felt he lost face and habitually let out some harsh words."

"Of course, if My Lord True Lord feels offended, this subordinate will immediately put his name on the bounty list!"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "That is unnecessary. He is merely a petty clown; no need to pay him any mind... What about other news?"

Shadow Three respectfully said, "In Europe, Isaac Taber, the dean of the Flammarion Academy and the universally recognized strongest mage, unfortunately passed away yesterday. Apart from that, there are no other major news."

"As for the Eastern Extraordinary World you are most concerned about, there have recently been quite a few noteworthy pieces of news."

"The Starfall Society exposed a dark secret of the company, claiming that many Extraordinary Ones captured from Biyou Village were locked up in a dark fortress and subjected to severe torture by the company using various methods to force them to reveal the whereabouts of an Extraordinary One named Ma Xianhong."

Has the plot already developed to this point?

An expression of keen interest appeared on Lin Yu's face.

Shadow Three hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, "My Lord True Lord, this subordinate believes this is a good opportunity to infiltrate the Eastern Extraordinary World. The Starfall Society's exposure included many photos of the dark fortress; among the Extraordinary Ones suffering torture in the photos were descendants of some famous families, such as Zhuge Qing..."

Hearing Shadow Three's words, Lin Yu could not help but laugh, shaking his head and saying, "Don't think about it. Zhuge Qing is doing just fine!"

"Not only him, but all the others who were captured are also fine. This exposure was orchestrated by the company and the Starfall Society in collusion, all to lure that Ma Ma Xianhong into a trap."

Shadow Three exclaimed, "I see!"

Lin Yu's face showed a look of contemplation as he recalled the subsequent plot.

As far as he knew, this exposure was a scheme by Zhang Zhang Chulan and the company, and the schemed-upon Ma Ma Xianhong indeed took the bait.

However, after Ma Ma Xianhong met Zhang Zhang Chulan, Qu Tong, the person behind him, arranged for three people to ambush them halfway, nearly killing Zhang Zhang Chulan for real.

The participants in this battle included not only Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, but also Zhang Master Lingyu, the successor of the Heaven-Reaching Lu, as well as two juniors from the prestigious Lu family, Lu Lin and Lu Linglong...

From this perspective, this was actually a good opportunity for connection.

Thinking this, Lin Yu smiled, turned his head, and looked at Shadow Three, saying, "The Heaven-Reaching Valley has been fully transformed. The subsequent matters are left to you, the direct person in charge!"

Having finished speaking, Lin Yu's figure flashed, and in an instant, he disappeared from the spot.

Shadow Three bowed slightly toward the place where Lin Yu had vanished and respectfully said, "Yes, My Lord True Lord."

After the Biyou Village incident, Ma Xianhong, provoked by a challenge, voluntarily allowed himself to be captured, wanting to meet the board of directors at the company. However, on the way he was being escorted, the people behind him attacked the convoy and rescued him.

Moreover, all the company employees in the convoy died tragically because of this incident.

Such a ruthless method was completely inconsistent with the personality Ma Xianhong had displayed in Biyou Village.

Therefore, Zhang Zhang Chulan suspected that the people who kidnapped Ma Ma Xianhong were the true masterminds behind everything.

He believed that given the character Ma Ma Xianhong had displayed, he would never agree to this person's methods, so he conspired with the company to use Ma Ma Xianhong's characteristic of being loyal and righteous to lure him out, intending to employ a strategy of sowing discord.

But after talking with Ma Ma Xianhong, Zhang Zhang Chulan suddenly discovered that Ma Ma Xianhong and the person behind the scenes might not be in a cooperative relationship, but rather an unequal relationship of exploitation, coercion, or even control!

Realizing this, Zhang Zhang Chulan immediately chased after them with Feng Baobao and Zhang Master Lingyu.

But halfway through the chase, his ominous premonition indeed came true...

In the dim forest, Zhang Zhang Chulan frowned tightly, looking at the two people blocking the way ahead.

"Sister Bao'er, Little Junior Uncle, can you finish these two off as quickly as possible?"

"Finish off this one as quickly as possible?"

Zhang Master Lingyu sighed and said, "Zhang Zhang Chulan, you really know how to joke!"

Speaking thus, he raised his head and looked at the middle-aged, robust man on the left, saying softly, "This is the successor of the Chai School's Hard Body technique, the master of Na Ruhu of the Ten Elders, Teacher Chai Yan!"

"Na Ruhu, one of the two outstanding figures in the world..."

Chai Yan spoke with a calm expression, "I was merely fortunate enough to care for him for a period of time; how dare I call myself his master."

Such a formidable background?

Zhang Zhang Chulan frowned, his Expression Grim as he looked at the other young man with purple hair.

"And this one? Is he also a famous figure in the circle?"

"That is not the case."

Zhang Master Lingyu said honestly, "At least I do not know him."

Hearing the two's conversation, the purple-haired young man's expression remained calm, but the veins bulging on his forehead revealed the fact that he was finding it hard to maintain his composure.

He snorted coldly, waved his hand, and hurled a large number of red crystals, which shot fiercely toward Zhang Zhang Chulan and the others.

The three stamped their feet and swiftly dodged to both sides.

The red crystals struck the ground and instantly exploded, raising a cloud of scorching flames.

Zhang Master Lingyu's gaze sharpened as he shouted, "Be careful, he is a born anomaly!"

Before his words had even faded, the expert of the Chai school's body-hardening technique moved. His feet, clad in cloth shoes, suddenly cracked the ground; the recoil force from below propelled his entire body forward, charging at Zhang Zhang Chulan like a cannonball.

But just before he neared Zhang Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao appeared in time, intercepting Chai Yan halfway.

Thus, the battle officially began: Zhang Master Lingyu against the purple-haired youth, Feng Baobao against Chai Yan. As for Zhang Zhang Chulan, this fellow had an unhealed internal injury dating back to the Twenty-Four Valleys; it was better not to fight if he could avoid it...

"Finally made it..."

At the same moment the battle erupted, Lin Yu appeared on a nearby treetop, watching the fight below and letting out a sigh of relief.

Since the Eastern Continent and the Atlantic Ocean were separated by ten thousand li, he had almost forgotten about the time difference.

The daytime at the training base was already evening here; fortunately, his pace was fast enough, and he had learned the location of the company's abandoned bunker early, allowing him to arrive just in time...

Since he had made it, there was no need to rush into action.

Doing favors is a delicate matter; one must appear at the most critical moment!

Lin Yu, hands in his pockets, watched Chai Yan, who was locked in combat with Feng Baobao below, with keen interest.

"Unlike the Golden Bell Shield, which requires a special method of circulating Qi to activate, this relies solely on the flow of one's own Qi body, combined with a solid physique forged by repeatedly challenging limits... Is this the Chai school's body-hardening technique?"

"In terms of effect, it bears some resemblance to the body-hardening secret art of the Four Lonely Ghosts."

While analyzing Chai Yan's methods, Lin Yu turned his head to look at the forest not far to his right.

There, a young man and a young woman were crouching on a treetop, quietly observing the battlefield just like him.

The man was tall and handsome, with naturally curly black hair and a slightly melancholic temperament, looking like an artsy youth who loved art.

The woman beside him was equally beautiful, her facial features somewhat similar to the man's. She wore a pink baseball cap atop her long pink hair, paired with a pink tracksuit, giving off a distinct schoolgirl vibe.

Without a doubt, these two were Lu Lin and Lu Lu Linglong of the Lu family!

Besides these two juniors who were following Zhang Zhang Chulan to investigate Wu Wu Gensheng's whereabouts, Lin Yu also sensed two other pairs of spying eyes.

One pair belonged to the third person sent by the Qutong Sect, namely Xiao Xiao, a friend of Lu Lu Linglong and the others who lost an arm after the All-Nature sect attacked the mountain.

As for the second pair...

Lin Yu glanced at the stone wall to his rear right, then his figure silently vanished from the treetop.

At the same time, atop the stone wall, a pink, jelly-like creature with hands and feet was crouching in the bushes at the edge, sneakily spying on the battlefield below.

"What a commotion! Truly a commotion!"

"If that bastard doesn't get to see this play with his own eyes, will he cry..."

The pink jelly watched the play with gusto while thinking with schadenfreude.

Just then, a sound of footsteps, neither hurried nor slow, suddenly came from behind.

The pink jelly was startled; it quickly retracted its hands and feet, folded its facial features, and transformed into a square block of pink flesh, lying still in the not-so-dense bushes.

Soon, the footsteps behind stopped.

The jelly's heart tightened, praying that the other party would not discover it.

But alas, no matter how much it prayed, that large hand arrived as scheduled, picking it up from the bushes.

"Unlucky..."

"Why are there humans in such a broken place?"

Just as the jelly was thinking gloomily, a face with a half-smile appeared before its eyes, instantly shattering all its hopes.
