Chapter 2261 - 2258: Death Valley

Chapter 2261: Chapter 2258: Death Valley

At the highest point of the Medicine King Mansion, there is an observatory. Standing on the observatory are three people, two of whom are Elder Yan and the Female Elder, while the other is a young woman.

The woman is wearing a plain-colored dress, with a light purple silk ribbon around her waist, her figure is slender and her waist delicate, with graceful curves. Her long hair is casually tied up, revealing her fair neck, mature and charming, her eyes full of allure.

The night wind blows gently, and the hem of her dress lightly flutters, as if the Goddess of Night has descended.

At this moment, all three are looking towards the horizon, where the stars are swirling, an celestial phenomenon has just occurred. The woman watches for a while, then lowers her head, calculating something in her mind.

Although the two elders have high status and strong abilities, they dare not urge this woman, who has no martial arts foundation, and instead wait impatiently.

The woman calculates for a while, sometimes smiling, sometimes shaking her head, causing the emotions of the two elders to rise and fall.

"How is it?" Elder Yan couldn’t resist but asked, though he lowered his voice.

"Shennong Ding is about to appear, but..." The woman hesitated slightly, not saying immediately.

The Female Elder asked curiously: "Is there something dangerous?"

The woman nodded gently and said calmly: "The emergence of Shennong Ding should be around the Death Valley area."

"Death Valley!" The two elders spoke in unison, their faces changed greatly. Even though they were calm, hearing the words "Death Valley" still shook their hearts.

The woman also breathed out lightly and said: "Death Valley is one of the dangers in the Kunlun Mountain Range. Its geographical structure is special, the magnetic field is abnormal, where the sky can be clear one moment and suddenly turn to a storm with violent thunderstorms, mysterious and unpredictable."

"Not to mention ordinary people, even a master of Ancient Martial like Elder Yan can’t resist the power of nature. Once the thunder calamity falls, everything is reduced to ashes." The woman’s face was rather serious.

"Actually in Death Valley, in that case, this will not be sending those kids to their deaths?" Elder Yan shook his head, somewhat unwillingly, seeming to have a notion to cancel the plan.

The woman’s gaze returned from the horizon, calmly saying: "Shennong Ding is a benevolent artifact, it will likely protect everyone."

"Oh, Miss Zi, have you perhaps calculated something?" The Female Elder asked with a bit of joy and curiosity.

"Since it is guided by divine will, taking some risks is worthwhile. I cast a divination, although this expedition is dangerous, with him there, it will surely turn misfortune into blessing." The woman said very assuredly, and when mentioning "him," her eyes slightly glowed, and a smile unconsciously appeared at her lips.

The elders were surprised in their hearts, who exactly is this "him"? Although curious, they dared not ask about heavenly secrets.

They understand that for the woman before them, leaking heavenly secrets is not an empty saying. Heavenly secrets are unpredictable and should not be questioned, because once leaked, future causes and effects will change.

If it develops for the worse, it is something neither of the two elders wish to see.

Elder Yan was not indecisive, having already made a decision in his heart: "I will be honest with them, whether to go or not, let them choose themselves."

He clasped his fist toward the woman, turned and left the observatory.

The woman sighed slightly in her heart: "No matter what others choose, he will certainly go. Whatever he wishes to do, no one can change his mind."

At this moment, Lin Tian’s group, after much debate, was about to disperse. Lin Tian had already reached the door but suddenly stopped, causing Fatty to bump into Lin Tian’s back due to not stopping in time.

But he found, his bulky body and weight couldn’t move Lin Tian an inch.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, he asked, "Mr. Lin, what’s wrong?"

"He has finally arrived." Lin Tian turned around, looking into the distance down the road, the few people behind him found it strange, because when they looked, the road was empty.

Just as Ji Zimo and the others were about to walk around Lin Tian and return to the guest rooms, an elder appeared, walking out of the night.

Apart from Lin Tian and Shen Lin, no one recognized the elder, but they realized, the elder was not simple because as he walked, his aura seemed to merge with the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees.

In other words, even walking was at the level of Unity of Heaven and Man.

The always proud Shen Lin quickly stepped out and respectfully saluted the elder: "Junior Shen Lin pays respect to the Great Elder."

The others were also surprised, and then together gave a salute: "Greetings to the Great Elder."

But Lin Tian knew, the Great Elder was actually that old granny. Why did Shen Lin also mistake him? It shouldn’t be.

Elder Yan waved his hand and said: "I recently resigned from the position of Great Elder, no need for formalities."

Lin Tian suddenly realized, Elder Yan was once the Great Elder, resigning this position perhaps to focus on refining medicine.

Thinking this in his heart, Lin Tian also gave a salute: "Greetings, Elder Yan." This address surprised the crowd, as they could see the relationship between Lin Tian and the elder seemed very good.

"Hmm." Elder Yan nodded slightly, especially responding to Lin Tian, then said: "There is something I must clarify to you all, once I finish speaking, you are free to choose, do not force yourselves."

Elder Yan didn’t ramble, directly getting to the point: "Just now, the phenomenon, as you all likely saw, is the celestial sign of Shennong Ding’s emergence."

"Wow..." The participants exclaimed, even Shen Lin was somewhat unsettled.

Lin Tian and the Xiao sisters exchanged a glance, seeing the delight in each other’s eyes. This news was indeed great news for the three.

Elder Yan did not stop the crowd’s commotion, continuing to speak, his voice clearly reaching everyone’s ears: "According to our calculation, the location of Shennong Ding’s emergence should be around the Death Valley area."

Death Valley! Shen Lin’s face changed first, becoming very unpleasant, seemingly aware of the dangers of Death Valley, others although not very aware, understood from the name it’s not a good place.

"Death Valley is extremely dangerous, if you venture inside searching for Shennong Ding, it’s very perilous, and you might even die. Now, you have the option, to go or not to go."

"You have three minutes to decide immediately, those who opt not to go, we will immediately send back to Langya Pavilion, those who decide to stay will continue the adventure." Elder Yan said decisively and clearly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tian had already stepped forward, saying calmly: "I choose to stay."

"I also choose to stay." Miss and Xiao Manxuan almost simultaneously said, both standing beside Lin Tian, expressing their intent, advancing and retreating together with him.

Ghost didn’t say anything, but stood beside Lin Tian as well, his intention very clear, still following Lin Tian.

"I, Fatty, have no ambition. If Mr. Lin goes, I go; if Mr. Lin doesn’t go, I won’t go." Huang Xiaopang grinned, standing behind Lin Tian as well.

Others looked at each other, because this news came somewhat suddenly, Death Valley was a place more dangerous than they imagined, previously they thought they only had to face snow mountains and avalanches, now there would be more unknowns.

"Miss Shuiyao has never been afraid." Ling Shuiyao expressed her willingness.
