Qing Tan was brought along to prevent cold energy outbursts during the journey.
It wouldn't be a problem anyway, as Tiger Ying and the others could protect her.
Lin Xuan could also carry Qing Tan in the alchemy furnace if needed.
"Brother Lin Xuan, this trip to the Ancient Tomb Mansion might be dangerous. Sister worries you'll need to take good care of me," Xuan Su said with a teasing yet sincere smile.
"No problem. Sister Su is my lucky charm; I'll definitely keep you safe," Lin Xuan replied firmly.
"Xiao Yan, come here!"
He then called Xiao Yan to give it instructions.
"I want Xiao Yan to follow you. During this time, it will serve as your mount, protecting you should be no problem."
Xiao Yan obediently walked to Xuan Su, circling her joyfully and rubbing against her long legs.
"Ah, thank you, Brother Lin Xuan," she said happily, patting Xiao Yan's head. She often visited Lin Xuan's courtyard and knew the power of his pets wasn't weak.
"A Tian Yuan Realm beast can protect Sister Xuan Su?" Xia Zhi Lan looked skeptical, amazed by her excitement.
"Don't underestimate him. Brother Lin Xuan's pets aren't ordinary. Xiao Yan's strength surpasses your father's!" Lin Dong quickly reminded her.
Xia Zhi Lan opened her mouth in surprise. "Stronger than my father? Could it be full completion of the Yuan Dan Realm?"
"Brother Lin Xuan, they've all broken through to Yuan Dan Realm full completion?" Xuan Su asked in disbelief.
"Yes, just recently," Lin Xuan nodded lightly.
"All of them reached full completion?!"
Both Xuan Su and Xia Zhi Lan widened their eyes.
"Alright, let's depart!"
Lin Xuan mounted Tiger Ying, Lin Dong rode Xiao Yan, and Qing Tan rode Xiao Huo while holding Xiao Zi, with Xiao Qing circling overhead.
The three pets were responsible for protecting Qing Tan.
"I…"
Xia Zhi Lan looked at her white horse, then at the others riding Fire Python Tiger, feeling a bit disappointed.
"Miss Zhi Lan, the Tianyan Mountains are full of primeval forests. Your white horse might not be suitable.
Why don't you ride with Lin Dong? Xiao Yan can easily carry you both," Lin Xuan coughed and helped suggest.
Xia Zhi Lan's eyes lit up, glancing eagerly at Lin Dong.
"Uh…"
Lin Dong was a bit stunned, then said, "Miss Zhi Lan, if you don't mind, come sit behind me."
"I… okay!"
Xia Zhi Lan hesitated shyly, then quietly agreed, running over to mount Lin Dong's tiger.
The Wan Jin Chamber's team, about twenty strong, was already waiting outside the city.....all Tian Yuan Realm experts or higher.
Seeing the five riding Fire Python Tiger, they felt a bit envious.
Xia Wan Jin frowned, seeing his daughter in another man's embrace. He took a deep breath but didn't say anything.
Recently, Lin Dong and Xia Zhi Lan had grown close; he had noticed but didn't oppose it.
Lin Xuan nodded at Xia Wan Jin, and the group set off toward the Tianyan Mountains.
The journey into the mountains was long. It took a full day to enter the range.
Along the way, many people shared the same goal.
Within the forest, many obvious traces showed that several people had departed earlier.
"When the Ancient Tomb Mansion news spread so long ago, won't we be late?" Lin Dong asked while setting up camp.
"No," Xuan Su explained. "According to the Chamber's investigation, the tomb has a barrier formation that ordinary people can't break.
At least Forming Realm experts are needed to disturb it.
Those who went before can only wait outside the tomb."
"The four great clans' strong members haven't arrived yet. Breaking the barrier must wait for them."
"That's good!"
After a brief rest, they continued.
The Tianyan Mountains were filled with monsters, but since they were slower, most beasts had been cleared by previous travelers. Occasionally, one or two appeared, but only as food.
They encountered several teams along the way, though most simply passed by without daring to engage.
The Wan Jin Chamber was well-known in Yancheng; most forces wouldn't provoke them.
However, some dared to challenge.
"Yo, isn't this the Wan Jin Chamber?"
A group blocked their path, led by a burly middle-aged man, muscular with scars covering his arms, giving him a fierce aura.....a typical reckless type.
"Dao Tu Gang!"
"Song Dao!"
Xia Wan Jin and Xuan Su immediately recognized them, frowning.
Dao Tu Gang was a major gang near Yancheng.
Its leader, Song Dao, was a Yuan Dan Realm full completion expert, not weaker than Xia Wan Jin.
"Chief Su, long time no see. My Dao Tu Gang brothers have long admired your beauty. Interested in joining us? Our men are strong and capable."
Song Dao openly ogled Xuan Su, and his men behind him showed the same greed.
Their group numbered over thirty, stronger than the Wan Jin Chamber alone.
Excluding Lin Xuan and Lin Dong, the Chamber would be at risk.
They dared to provoke, clearly unaware of Lin Xuan and Lin Dong's power, nor Tiger Ying and the others'.
It didn't matter.....they were doomed.
At the moment Song Dao insulted Xuan Su, Lin Xuan had already sentenced him to death. Although he hadn't slept, Xuan Su was already considered his.
[Task: Kill Song Dao. Reward: One bottle of seventh-grade Ju Yuan Pill.]
"Such trash, only a seventh-grade reward," Lin Xuan muttered inwardly.
Still, he had to kill him. Even small flies are meat; even mediocre pills are still useful.
With his fast-growing power, being able to create a task was already good.
"Whoosh!"
