Chapter 109 Linjiang Pavilion
The grudge between Linjiang Pavilion and Leng Yun should have started when they defeated Leng Wudi and took away the Water-Avoiding Pearl.
Later, Linjiang Pavilion repeatedly sent people to provoke Leng Yun, but they were all defeated by Leng Yun. Until recently, Leng Yun caused a great disturbance in Dongliu City, thwarting Linjiang Pavilion's conspiracy and killing the last elder of Linjiang Pavilion.
Linjiang Pavilion still possesses two Ten-Life Lotus Seeds, which Leng Yun is determined to retrieve.
Leng Yun could wait for these things to happen, but the people of Linjiang Pavilion made a wrong decision: they kidnapped the Leng family.
Dragons have scales that cannot be touched, and those scales will lead to death. Leng Yun's scales are his family, the Leng family members who are loyal to him!
Enraged that the people of Linjiang Pavilion dared to kidnap the Leng family, Leng Yun assembled the Leng family's iron army and prepared to launch a general attack on Linjiang Pavilion.
With the change in status and strength, Leng Yun can now command a powerful army to follow him to the death with a single call, naturally giving him much more confidence.
Linjiang Pavilion is easy to defend and difficult to attack; this is a fact known throughout the entire Northern Territory.
Leng Yun stood on a hillside by the water, gazing at the distant Linjiang Pavilion.
The Linjiang Pavilion is an architectural structure resembling a multi-story pavilion built on a small island in the water. It is flanked by swift-flowing rivers on both sides, with a large bend in the river in front, making the current even more dangerous. The only way to cross this section of the river is by a small iron chain suspension bridge.
If Tie Jun were to walk on it without any precautions, he would become an easy target for others.
The suspension bridge connects the shore to the small island in the center, and both sides are heavily guarded, so it is impossible to sneak in.
Before setting out, Leng Yun had prepared enough Water Pattern Pills. He gave one pill to each person to counter the water attribute power of Linjiang Pavilion.
"Young Master, what should we do?" asked the gray-clad leader of the Iron Army.
"You all stay here and don't show yourselves. I'll go check it out by myself first," Leng Yun said.
The man in gray nodded. Although he knew that Linjiang Pavilion was dangerous, he had also witnessed Leng Yun's abilities, so he was not too worried.
Leng Yun leaped out of the hillside and went straight to the edge of the suspension bridge on the shore.
"who?"
The guards at the suspension bridge entrance watched Leng Yun cautiously.
"Leng Yun, the city lord of Flame City, is looking for your sect leader," Leng Yun said calmly.
"What! Leng Yun!"
"Are you Leng Yun?"
The guards seemed a little nervous, and one of them immediately ran up the suspension bridge to report the situation to those inside.
Clearly, the name Leng Yun is now enough to cause a stir in any corner of the Northern Territory, especially in places like Linjiang Pavilion, where people are even more sensitive to the name 'Leng Yun'.
Before long, a middle-aged man wearing a black cloak flew out from the three-story pavilion and landed directly in front of Leng Yun.
"Hehe, Leng Yun, I didn't expect you to actually dare to come here!"
Leng Yun frowned as he looked at the other person: "You are Mo Dajiang, the head of Linjiang Pavilion?"
“Hehe, it’s me.” Mo Dajiang laughed.
"Where are my Leng family members?" Leng Yun demanded.
Mo Dajiang revealed a sinister smile: "The Leng family members are all underwater now."
Leng Yun was startled: "Could it be—"
Mo Dajiang chuckled: "Haha, don't worry. Since they're Leng Yun's people, how could I kill them so easily? They're safe underwater, but it seems they won't last much longer."
Leng Yun snorted: "What? You want to fight me underwater?"
"Haha, underwater combat is very interesting!" Mo Dajiang laughed. "But you're not fighting me. There's a Rank 4 magical beast underwater, the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast. If you can defeat it, then we can talk about rescuing people."
"You're despicable," Leng Yun scoffed.
The Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast is extremely difficult to deal with, equivalent to a human Spirit Martial Realm expert, and its power increases even more in water.
This magical beast is also the guardian beast of Linjiang Pavilion, so Mo Dajiang wants to use the magical beast to get rid of Leng Yun.
"You don't have much time left, but don't worry, I won't interfere while you're saving people," Mo Dajiang said with a smile.
Leng Yun looked at the surging river in front of him. Although he didn't have the chance to change the flying fish's bloodline, with the Water Pattern Pill's enhancement, surviving underwater wasn't a difficult task. The only problem was dealing with that Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast.
Mo Dajiang's plan was very well done. It would be best if Leng Yun was killed by a magical beast. Even if he couldn't kill him, it would still consume a lot of power, and then he could kill Leng Yun himself.
Leng Yun was well aware of the danger involved, but in order to save his family, he still bravely jumped into the surging river.
Upon entering the water, he immediately felt surrounded by endless darkness. The water temperature was very low. In order to move freely underwater, Leng Yun had to gather all his fist energy to resist the resistance brought by the water waves.
Doing this is undoubtedly a drain on oneself, and as time goes on, the consumption of fist energy will increase.
At this moment, Leng Yun suddenly remembered the benefits of bloodline. If he had the Flying Fish bloodline, he could move freely in the water without expending any power, and at great speed.
"If I had one more bloodline slot, I wouldn't have to keep switching between them," Leng Yun thought.
As he spoke, he had already fallen nearly five meters.
The river was very deep, and the bottom could not be seen in the darkness. Leng Yun could only see the surrounding situation by the faint yellow light emitted by his fist energy.
He can actually use fire, but using the Five Elements Fire underwater requires even greater power to activate it, which would consume a huge amount of energy.
Leng Yun knew that the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast was only the first step, because the real enemy was Mo Dajiang, the master of Linjiang Pavilion.
He had never encountered such a dangerous situation before. He had to expend a lot of energy before he could fight the enemy and could not maintain his best condition. This time, Leng Yun also lost confidence in himself.
However, he did not back down. He was well aware of his responsibilities: to protect the Leng family who followed him and to eliminate all hostile forces.
As Leng Yun was lost in thought, he suddenly saw a green light beneath the water. He quietly dove down and soon reached the bottom.
At this moment, the distance to the water surface is about ten meters, and the pressure from the surrounding water is enormous. Leng Yun needs to expend more and more power to resist it.
Not far from Leng Yun, he could see a green monster; the green glow underwater came from there.
Its body shape resembles a huge lion, and its most prominent feature is its large head with two light bulb-like golden eyes.
This is a fourth-grade magical beast—the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast!
