C2435 Urgent

"Martial Granduncle (Martial Uncle) …"

The moment Zang Tan said this, Du Rui and Xin Yi wanted to hastily stop him, but before they could finish, Zeng Tan's cold gaze swept over them. At this moment, a trace of killing intent was revealed in his eyes.

He was a very vigilant and cautious person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly prepared a substitute for himself after Gui Yang died. When the assassination attempt had occurred, he had already felt that something was wrong.

That was because during the assassination attempt, the sword qi and sword intent were indeed exposed, but as far as he was concerned, Lin Bai shouldn't be so foolish. Think about it, in the current Medicine Valley, everyone knew that only Lin Bai held onto the sword technique.

If Lin Bai really wanted to assassinate him, why would he use such a method? If he did so, wouldn't he want to drag everyone's suspicions onto Lin Bai? Although it was his first time meeting Lin Bai, Chu Tan had long heard of Lin Bai's past actions. He believed that if Lin Bai really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be so foolish as to reveal his methods.

That was because such a method could not be considered to be an assassination. Instead, it was a sneak attack. As long as Lin Bai did this, he would become as obvious as a firefly in the night sky, and people would even suspect that he had killed Guiyang.

It wasn't that Zang Tan had never suspected Lin Bai of Guiyang's death, but as far as he was concerned, since Lin Bai had taken out the seventh set of pill formulas, a pill that could prolong his life, there was no reason for him to do anything to Guiyang. If Lin Bai really wanted to kill Guiyang, then there was no need for him to come to the Medicine Valley to discuss the alliance.

Especially when he arrived at the main hall and saw Du Ruo and Xin Yi's reactions, he felt that things had become even more complicated and confusing. Although he still could not be sure whether or not there was a connection between Gui Yang's death and his assassination, he was sure that there was definitely something strange between the two.

If it was any other time, seeing the abnormality of these two people, Zen Tan would naturally have to investigate it thoroughly to find out what it was. But Pill King Valley was in the midst of all this, and the disciples' minds were in a mess. If he were to pick Du Ruoruo and Xin Yi and attack them, it would only increase the fear in their hearts, making Pill King Valley's situation even more difficult.

Of course, there was another reason for that. And this reason, was because of the fire eye which was continuously releasing fire spirit energy from the outside. If the matter regarding the fire eye was not resolved, the Medicine God Valley would face an end to their suffering.

Once the earth fire runs out, the Medicine Valley's thousand years of heritage will be destroyed. At that time, how would he have the face to see the ancestors under the Nine Springs? Could it be that he wanted to tell them that the Medicine Valley they created was destroyed by his unworthy descendants? Compared to this matter, whether it was Guiyang's death or the assassination attempt on him, they could only be regarded as a side event.

In order to quickly find a way to deal with the leakage of the fire eye, he had to do his best to maintain the peace in Pill King Valley and gather all the energy he could. Thus, he did not want to investigate too deeply and he did not want to suspect Lin Bai too much.

"I have made up my mind. There is no need for you to say anything more!" After lightly sighing, he looked meaningfully at Du Ruo and Xin Yi, who were obviously unwilling, as if he was muttering to himself and warning them, and slowly said: "The life and death of my Medicine God Valley is only a matter of a moment. I advise everyone to take care of your own matters, and not to do anything rash, or else, even if this old man turns into a ghost, I will still take his life from him!"

Each word was spoken with extreme iciness, killing intent was exposed, and it entered into the hearts of Du Ruo and Xin Yi, causing them to shiver. Without any hesitation, they immediately opened their mouths and swore oaths that they dared not, kneeling on the ground and pointing to the sky.

Looking at the manner in which he planted the sandalwood, Lin Bai's heart was filled with emotions. A sect could not have a Sect Master, but it could not lack a pillar like Zang Tan. This was because only such a person would truly think about everything, putting the interests of the sect above everything else. Only the existence of such a person could make a sect exist for a long time.

And for the Pill King Valley to have such a treasure, it could be said to be a fortunate event for the Pill King Valley. Because as far as Lin Bai could see, after Guiyang died, if he didn't have the guts to fight, then the Medicine Valley might have already been torn into pieces with its foundation severely damaged.

"Elder Zhu Tan, thank you very much for tonight. If not for you, I would have suffered this injustice. I might have died under the thousand blades of your Medicine Valley!" Lin Bai cupped his hands in thanks and said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is joking. With your ability, how can we stop you if you want to leave my Medicine Valley?" When Zhu Tan heard this, he immediately laughed lightly, with an apologetic look, he said apologetically: "Today's matter was Pill King Valley's first mistake, I am here on behalf of all the members of Medicine King Valley to apologize to Fellow Lin, I hope Fellow Lin will not keep this in mind."

"If you want to know where Elder Zhu Tan is, then I should be the one thanking you." When Lin Bai saw this, he turned a little embarrassed. The previous attempt to make things difficult for Du Ruo and Xin Yi was also dispelled by Sang Tan's actions.

"If that's the case, then Fellow Daoist Lin and I will stop this pointless act of apologizing or thanking you …" Zeng Tan was also a person who acted decisively. Upon hearing these words, he waved his hands, clasped his hands, and slowly spoke, "It's late in the night, the matter is over. Everyone, you should return quickly."

When Zang Tan said this, Du Rui and Xin Yi immediately showed displeasure on their faces. Although they were extremely dissatisfied and unwilling with this result, but with the order to plant a sandalwood, they had no way to turn the situation around. After exchanging glances, they all simultaneously turned to look at the calm and composed Jiang Haoran. After they were done with their preparations, they would have a deep discussion with Jiang Haoran and come up with a solution.

"Elder Zhu Tan, please wait. I have something else to discuss with you …" Just as Elder Zhi Tan turned around with the intention to leave, Lin Bai suddenly spoke up again. His voice was incomparably calm, as if he was referring to something.

What was this bastard trying to do? Was it not enough to escape this calamity out of thin air? Did he still want to come up with some other tricks? Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, Du Rui and Xin Yi immediately furrowed their brows, their expressions full of surprise.

Not only them, but even Jiang Haoran had a confused look on his face. He didn't understand why Lin Bai was still trying to recruit Lin Bai, and even wanted him to keep growing sandalwood. Was he not afraid of incurring the wrath of the request and causing the planting of sandalwood?

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what else do you want? Do you think that my Medicine God Valley is being unfair to you by doing this? Do you want some compensation or something?" Although Zeng Tan turned around when she heard this, she could not help but frown and had an expression of displeasure on her face.

He truly could not understand what else Lin Bai had to discuss with him at this critical juncture. Although Zeng Tan truly didn't believe that Lin Bai was the one who tried to assassinate him, this didn't mean that he couldn't push things too far. If Lin Bai were to continue his aggressive actions, he wouldn't mind doing it for real.

Boy, you are courting death, do not blame us! Seeing the way the sandalwood was planted, Du Ruo and Xin Yi were overjoyed. They felt that everything had turned for the better once again.

"Junior has not lost much, why would I ask for compensation …" But to their surprise, Lin Bai didn't have any intentions of seeking compensation. Instead, he casually said, "I just want to do a favor for the Medicine God Valley and solve a problem for all of you."

"Solve a problem for our Pill King Valley? Could it be that Fellow Lin has already found the culprit for the assassination of me and the leader of Gui Yang Valley? " Upon hearing these words, Zhu Tan raised her long and longish eyebrows as she looked at Lin Bai in surprise.

What tricks was this kid trying to pull this time? At the same time these words were spoken, Du Ruo and Xin Yi's hearts sank as they vaguely felt that something extremely bad was about to happen. They could only sense that something big was about to happen.

"It is important to find the culprits that assassinated Elder Zutan and the Guiyang Valley Master. However, from my point of view, this shouldn't be the most urgent matter for the Medicine God Valley to deal with right now, right?" Lin Bai smiled faintly, revealing a mysterious expression as he slowly said.

The Pill King Valley's most urgent task was naturally to plant sandalwood, so he was well aware of it. As Lin Bai said, whether it was Gui Yang's death or his assassination, it was not Pill King Valley's top priority. The most dangerous situation for Pill King Valley was only this, which was the cauldron mountain's Earth Fire Eye. As long as the Earth Fire could not be released, Pill King Valley would fall into the abyss.

Did this kid come up with a way to control the Earth Fire? Hearing these words, Du Ruo and Xin Yi's hearts also skipped a beat, and they couldn't help panicking a little. How could the two of them not see that this was the most urgent matter? If Lin Bai really was able to solve this problem, not to mention planting sandalwood, even if he was the one who planted sandalwood, it was likely that he would let bygones be bygones and wholeheartedly curry favor with him.

At that time, the entire Medicine Valley would have to be grateful to Lin Bai. What other possibility would they have to form an alliance with the Spirit Spring Sect?

Although Jiang Haoran was silent and his face was expressionless, his heart was also in turmoil. If Lin Bai had really taken out this bargaining chip and discovered the method to release the earthfire, then his trip this time would have been for naught.

No, he had to quickly settle the matters of the Pill King Valley, or else everything would be in danger! Jiang Haoran clenched his fists and made a decision.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is not the time to joke!" When Zeng Tan heard this, he abruptly halted his steps. An unconcealable joy appeared in his eyes, and after scanning Lin Bai up and down for a long time, he spoke word by word, "You should be very clear, if you were to mock this old man in this matter, what kind of evil consequences it would bring to you!"
