Old Tian’s crisis was considered resolved. By banding together and combining their efforts, the visitors had actually succeeded in helping Old Tian’s tyrannosaurus evolve with Curator’s evaluation report.
Old Tian’s face was glowing. He was obviously ecstatic. Although he was the tyrannosaurus’ owner, he wasn’t sure of his companion’s state right now, why he had colorful scales, and why his outer appearance was so monstrous. Old Tian even found it hard to control the pet beast at times.
But none of these was a problem.
The most important thing here was that he too possessed a Rank 4 pet beast.
With this, in the continent where he was based, Tian Bao would become a significant character. And it was only natural as those who possessed a Rank 4 pet beast in this world could easily frighten countries everywhere.
This was too exhilarating.
Old Tian had begun looking forward to his bright future.
Naturally, he knew where all this came about. His biggest support now probably wasn’t his tyrannosaurus but this Visitation Hall.
It was at this moment that Old Tian knew how powerful Curator was. No wonder figures such as Black Crow, Ghost Child, and Old Ye respected Curator so much. Recalling his attitude when he first came here, Old Tian felt like slapping himself twice.
Fortunately, he had managed to come to his senses before it was too late.
Now, Old Tian could chat with the others comfortably and they began discussing another problem.
Just what made Curator leave in such a hurry? He just came in to greet them and then left. Something like this had never happened before.
Could Curator be in some kind of danger?
This assumption was immediately tossed aside. To the visitors of this hall, they didn’t think anything in this world was capable of threatening Curator.
They had absolute confidence in Curator.
Thus, in the end, their discussion was fruitless. Ghost Child didn’t get to hear about the zombie cthulhu’s condition and He Qing didn’t get to convey her sister’s, He Yu’s gratitude. Of course, they had many other things to say but it was a pity they didn’t have an outlet.
They could only wait until the next time the Visitation Hall opened again.
Meanwhile, after returning to that realm from the Visitation Hall, Lin Jin encountered something strange.
He had returned in a hurry to research the Carrier Cloud as he had begun to get a sense of what it was. Yet, just moments after he sat down to decipher it, he sensed something behind him. Turning around, he saw a person standing there.
This person must have just arrived. Lin Jin was very confident in his perception ability, also, the metal door to the Visitation Hall behind him hadn’t completely disappeared so with the added enhancement, Lin Jin’s senses heightened.
This person didn’t come from the plaza, Lin Jin could tell that much. Instead, his abilities were incredible because other than Lin Jin himself, Hu Yuzhen couldn’t seem to sense this person’s presence.
In addition, he was also dressed in strange clothing, looking very vintage to be specific, and seemingly powerful. Yet, his aura was akin to a normal human’s, perhaps even weaker compared to those in the plaza.
This, in turn, made it weirder. And in the face of abnormality, it was natural to be increasingly serious.
Hence, Lin Jin stopped his research and got up to look at that man, readying himself. If he was an enemy, Lin Jin would be able to launch an immediate attack.
Speaking of which, after cultivating the Beastmaster Fourth Scroll and merging with Xiao Huo, he hadn’t had a chance to show his stuff. If this person was a foe, Lin Jin could test out his current strength.
At this moment, Hu Yuzhen who had been waiting respectfully beside him turned around sharply. After noticing this newcomer’s presence, she got up.
Lin Jin waved at her, indicating for her to not do anything rash.
Then, the man smiled and held his hands up in salutation. “The loss of spirit energy in the outside world had destroyed our paths to immortality, but to think I’d still be able to meet a friend on the same journey. What a rare opportunity this is.”
Since the man was being courteous, Lin Jin couldn’t be uptight so he returned a salute.
The man came over with a smile. Once he was close, he looked at Hu Yuzhen and shook his head. “My friend, this is a demon. Why are you keeping her by your side?”
Although his voice sounded calm, it embodied a murderous aura.
Of course, this hostility wasn’t aimed at Lin Jin but Hu Yuzhen.
Hu Yuzhen immediately sensed danger, and this threat was like a towering mountain crashing down on her, or the skies falling. She couldn’t even resist or fight back.
Hu Yuzhen was no fool. She was a monster who had been cultivating for several hundred years, possessing human intelligence. At this moment, she knew full well that her life was being threatened, yet, the saddest fact was how she couldn’t choose where she lived or died. In other words, her life wasn’t hers.
And the only person who could save her was Mr. Lin.
But Hu Yuzhen didn’t dare to look at Mr. Lin right now. She merely stood frozen at the spot as if she would be struck by lightning if she carelessly moved about.
White Ape shrank his neck, afraid to move, and the zombie cthulhu in the coffin pretended to be a corpse, making no sound.
The only person at ease here was Lin Jin.
He could tell that this man in the traditional robes is impressive, his cultivation level highly profound.
However, since Lin Jin had decided to slay Hu Yuzhen’s demon, he wouldn’t let anyone else interfere. Moreover, if he were to cave in the face of intimidation, that might just invoke contempt on himself.
“Leave her. I’ll slay her demon!” Lin Jin answered honestly.
The man in the traditional robes was stunned before laughing out loud. “Good, good. It’s great that you have such intentions.”
Following his laughter, that seemingly non-existent but yet omnipresent murderous aura disappeared without a trace. Hu Yuzhen was covered in a layer of cold sweat, realizing that her life had just been spared.
On the inside, her respect for Mr. Lin only grew.
Then, the classically dressed man added, “I only have this tiny remnant of soul left inside my magic artifact, this ‘Unending Nature Landscape’ and I’ve intended to live on peacefully. It’s because I saw you casting a dimension traveling spell that I decided to show myself. Please don’t laugh at me but it’s truly my first time seeing someone capable of dimension travel inside this magical artifact of mine.”
At this, Lin Jin immediately came to an understanding.
The man must have meant the Visitation Hall.
At that moment, the faint image of the Visitation Hall’s door behind Lin Jin faded away as if it had been a mirage.
It was distressing for Lin Jin to explain, nor could he do so. Hence, he gave a small smile and said, “I must have startled you!”
“Nonsense. Rather than startling, it’s thrilling.” The man held his hands up in salutation. “To be honest, this remnant soul of mine would soon run out of time. Being able to meet with an expert such as yourself before I disappear has been an honor.”
Lin Jin felt ashamed at this.
The traditionally dressed man had clearly misunderstood the Visitation Hall’s door. It wasn’t Lin Jin’s supernatural powers that summoned it but the Museum of Deadly Beast’s perk. However, Lin Jin couldn’t possibly tell him all that.
Furthermore, this misunderstanding was a good thing. Lin Jin could tell that this traditionally dressed man was powerful. From his explanation, Lin Jin learned that they were in some place called ‘Unending Nature Landscape’, a magical artifact. And this artifact belonged to the traditionally dressed man. In a sense, this guy should be a cultivator from the legends, the immortal General Lion had mentioned.
Hence, it was better if he kept up this misunderstanding, forever. Otherwise, if the immortal found out that Lin Jin was toying him, there would be hell to pay.
