Not long after, just as Hornless had said, that skinny Young Noble drilled into a large hole, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his original path.

However, what was slightly different was that when the thin young master returned, he was followed by a group of extremely terrifying creatures. They were tall and mighty stone men. At this moment, those stone men were crazily chasing the thin young master.

"It's Shi Gui. Hurry up and go, boy." Hornless' voice became anxious.

Lin Tian did not hesitate, he rushed forward quickly and grabbed the skinny young master, then turned and ran into another big hole.

Behind him, the stone puppets surged forward like the tidewaters, they frantically trampled across the entire cave and emitted rumbling sounds, they were chasing after Lin Tian and the skinny young master.

Lin Tian turned left and right, dodging the Stone Golems' chase, while all the people who had come forth to kill Lin Tian were now completely exposed under the stone puppets, before they could react, the stone puppet had already stomped on them with a loud thud. They did not even have the time to scream in pain, they had already turned into a pile of meat paste.

Lin Tian turned around to take a look, and could not help but feel his scalp go numb. He could not help but ask: "Hornless, what the hell is this thing."

"This is a spirit stone puppet created by the dragon clan. There are over three thousand big holes in the Dragon Palace and more than half of them are dead ends. There are all sorts of strange traps and mechanisms inside." Horned Demon explained, "This spirit stone puppet is actually one of those mechanisms."

Lin Tian didn't ask anymore, and dragged the skinny and weak young master along with him as he desperately rushed forward, all the way until he reached a safe big hole, whereupon Lin Tian stopped in his tracks.

The rumbling sounds behind him gradually grew further and further away. The puppets were no longer able to catch up to him.

The thin and weak young master was obviously frightened just now, only now did he come back to himself. At this moment, he was looking at Lin Tian with an alert expression, afraid that Lin Tian would snatch the spear in his hands.

"Take it out. I saved your life, so how about you repay me with this spear?" Lin Tian did not hesitate, he had come precisely for this dragon scale spear.

The person in front of him was being surrounded and attacked by many people, and Lin Tian was the one who saved him, and the one who was being hunted down by the spirit stone puppets, was the one who saved the frail and weak young master in front of him. Since that was the case, Lin Tian had saved his life and was initially going to take it away immediately, but now that this frail and weak young master was so pitiful, he wanted to take it away.

"So you also did this for the spirit spear in my hand. If I had known earlier, why did you save me? Why did you let me die because of that spirit stone puppet? Wasn't this spear yours?" The skinny young master looked at Lin Tian with a cold expression, then coldly spat out a word: "Hypocrite."

Lin Tian laughed faintly, but he was not angry: "If I was truly hypocritical, I would not have said those words to you."

When Lin Tian looked at the skinny young master, he felt that it was a little strange.

He didn't look like a man at all. At this moment, his lips were rosy, and he looked so bright ?

When Lin Tian thought of this, he could not help but let out a bitter laugh. "Where the hell did I come up with this idea, to actually have this kind of thought towards a man?"

"Why are you staring at me?" The skinny young master became even angrier as his face reddened, "I'm a man, what do you want?"

Lin Tian waved his hands: "Relax, relax, I am not interested in men, I am only interested in the spear in your hands ?"

The thin man immediately gripped the spirit spear tightly in his hand. "This is used to save lives. Even if you kill me, I still wouldn't be able to give it to you ?"

Lin Tian was startled, then shook his head: "Brother, you shouldn't force me, I don't want to attack you, but I have to obtain this gun, at worst, I can use any condition to exchange with you ?"

"Can you exchange for my mother's life?" The skinny young master sneered and then said: "If you want this spiritual spear, you first have to kill me ?"

"If that's the case, then I won't be polite!" Lin Tian did not hesitate, he did not have the time to waste on him, and directly attacked.

"Great Creation Fist!" Lin Tian threw a punch towards the skinny Young Master.

The thin and weak young master did not expect Lin Tian to attack as soon as he said that. He did not even have time to react before he was hit by Lin Tian's fist.

"Pfft." The skinny young master's body was flung backwards, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His strength was only at the eighth stage of Qi Cultivating Stage, he was not a match for Lin Tian.

Lin Tian's punch succeeded, but he did not ignite the power of the fist. He did not know why, but when it came to other people, Lin Tian would kill them immediately and not treat them mercifully. However, towards this skinny young master in front of him, Lin Tian did not have any thoughts of killing him.

He couldn't bring himself to kill.

The skinny young master's face was filled with despair, he was staring straight at Lin Tian, that kind of gaze made Lin Tian's heart tremble, but Lin Tian still snatched the dragon scale spear away.

"This gun is indeed of great use to me. Brother, I'm sorry ?" Lin Tian sighed.

The skinny young master gave a pitiful smile, "You took it away, so it means you took away my mother's life. You can kill me too ?"

Lin Tian muttered to himself for a moment. At this time, he suddenly saw the bulge on the skinny and weak young master's chest.

"Kill me!" That skinny young master, no, it was that woman who pleaded in a low voice.

"Brother, oh, no. Little girl, you can tell me what happened after all. Perhaps this one might be able to help you." Lin Tian said after hesitating for a moment.

He did not understand what this gun had to do with his mother's life.

"People from the Blackwind Ridge, capture my mother. Let me take out the treasure in exchange for her life." The lady's face was filled with grief and hatred as she looked at Lin Tian. It was as if she wanted to pull Lin Tian's tendons and skin off.

"Blackwind Ridge?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, "This name is so familiar. Where have I heard this name before?"

In the next moment, Lin Tian suddenly remembered something, didn't that mean that the seven people he killed before were from the Blackwind Ridge?

Could it be that there was some sort of relationship between the two?

"To tell you the truth, Miss said that I coincidentally killed seven Blackwind Ridge's men earlier. Could it be that the people that Miss said were the same group as the people that I killed?" Lin Tian immediately asked.

"What did you say?" The girl was obviously startled for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "You killed the people from Blackwind Ridge?"

Lin Tian nodded and told the lady everything that had just happened.

It only concealed what happened between him and Yun Huang.

The woman's expression changed from astonishment to shock, and she asked with an expression of disbelief: "You really killed the people from Blackwind Ridge?"

"Of course." Lin Tian nodded his head: "If Miss doesn't believe me, then once we leave this place, lady can come with me to check on the corpses of those people. Their corpses are still in the cave."

When the lady heard Lin Tian's words, she immediately started to believe him. After all, she knew that the people from the Blackwind Ridge had also come to this Dragon Gate Phantom.

Lin Tian could not help but ask: "Miss, what is going on, can you explain it to me clearly?"

The lady then told Lin Tian the whole story.

It turned out that Blackwind Ridge was a bandit group led by the seven people that Lin Tian killed. This group's main range of activities was Celestial Dragon City, as well as the Heavenly Thunder City that was close to it.

This woman was one of the people from the Heavenly Thunder City. Her name was Li Waner, and she was someone from the Alchemy Family's Li Family in the Heavenly Thunder City.

Li Waner's father had died a long time ago, and only her mother had been supporting him in the family, so she hadn't fallen yet. Not long ago, her mother, who was escorting the medicinal ingredients, was kidnapped by people from the Blackwind Ridge, and they had to ask the Li Family to bring all their belongings to redeem their mother.

When Li Waner's mother was taken, Li Waner had no one to rely on in the clan anymore, so her second uncle had directly usurped the position of Li Family. Previously, when her mother was still here, her second uncle had already been ready to make his move.

Her second uncle naturally wouldn't give all of Li Family's possessions to exchange for her mother. Under that helplessness, Li Waner could only go to Blackwind Ridge to negotiate with her alone. The conditions set by the people of Blackwind Ridge were very simple, they could either exchange it for her mother's or they could find a spirit treasure or a genius' treasure to exchange for her.

After Lin Tian heard this, he understood that the person from the Blackwind Ridge must have taken a fancy to Li Family's pills, thus he decided to take action against him. As for the two conditions that Li Waner posed, the latter was completely impossible, and it was clear that he had his eyes on Li Waner, which was why he asked for a Spirit Treasure or a genius Earth Treasure.

How could Li Waner find items like Spirit Treasures or Genius Earthly Treasures?

But in the end, Li Waner chose the latter option. The people of Blackwind Ridge probably didn't believe that a weak girl like Li Waner could find a spirit treasure or a genius earth treasure, so they let Li Waner look for it boldly and set a date of three months. They thought that if Li Waner couldn't find it, they would have to obediently come back to save their mother, so they agreed.

Only, they never thought that Li Waner would actually find this dragon scale spear among all the Dragon Gate Phantom.

Li Waner dressed up like a man and wanted to search for a genius treasure in the Qingya Mountain, but he did not expect that by chance, he would find a badge that could allow him to enter the Dragon Gate Phantom. Furthermore, he did enter in the end and obtained the dragon scale spear.

But in Lin Tian's opinion, even if Li Waner took the dragon scale spear, he would still not be able to get back her mother. In fact, he would not be able to keep the spear, nor can he save his mother.

One had to know, that group of people from the Blackwind Ridge were all bandits, how could they have any sort of trust in each other.

This Li Waner is still inexperienced, not knowing that people's hearts are dangerous, he actually thought that just by obtaining the dragon scale spear, he could save his mother's life ?

But now, Li Waner did not need to worry. Above Blackwind Ridge, the seven leading people had already become departed souls under Lin Tian's hands ?

Lin Tian shook his head, this series of fortuitous encounters was truly inconceivable.
