Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 2323: At Their Mercy

Chapter 2323: At Their Mercy

Xuan Hua and Gu Zhao didn’t waste time either. The two merged into one person in front of the shadow, grabbed Lin Dan, and disappeared in a gust of white mist.

"I wish Lord Etherean an easy victory." The shadow stood in the darkness with a pair of eyes that were as black as ink, watching them leave.

"Monitor Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue. Tell us if any issues arise." Xuan Hua didn’t turn around.

"I hope youll be able to deal with this quickly," said the shadow.

......

Beneath the Infinitum Stele, Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue were examining the unconscious Lin Jianxing, who had returned from the dead. Feiling and the others were focused on what was happening inside the bees nest. There were still disciples in other rooms who had yet to obtain six walnuts. Even though Tianming and others had passed that round, they were still waiting, much like before. The bees nest hadnt made other arrangements. Therefore, Tianming spent his time cultivating with the green skeletons. Because of that, Feiling and the girls were a little more relaxed. Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue werent watching Tianming the entire time, either.

At that moment, Lin Xiao pulled out a gold transmission stone from his spatial ring.

"Who is it?" Frowning, Dongshen Yue flipped Lin Jianxing’s body and glanced at Lin Yao.

"Gou Dan." Lin Xiao moved to the side, pursing his lips.

"What’s that bastard been up to lately?" Dongshen Yue rolled her eyes.

Lin Xiao snuck away and activated the transmission stone with a smile. But when he saw the figure on the transmission stone, his expression immediately turned cold. Lin Dan’s face was covered with blood. There were wounds all over him and he was missing an eye.

"Second Patriarch, don’t come over!!" Lin Dan opened his mouth and let out a mournful scream, which drew Dongshen Yue’s attention.

"Whats going on?" With an ugly expression, she hurried over.

Lin Xiaos fingers trembled as he stared at the transmission stone. There was another figure behind Lin Dan. "Who are you?" Lin Xiao asked coldly, his thin body tense.

"It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important is that I’ll give you an hour to meet me in Ghostmist Valley. As long as I see you and Dongshen Yue, Ill spare his life. Snickering, the person added, "Don’t overthink things. His is just an insignificant life. Hell be able to live as long as you show up."

"If he dies, you die with him!" The wrinkles on Lin Xiao’s face shook. Who was Lin Dan to him? To put it simply, he was just a junior that admired him. But in fact, he had remained on Brokensword Peak for a hundred years after Lin Mu left, bringing life to the peak and liveliness to the old couple. During the succession override, he had even supported Lin Xiao and stood against his own family. In Lin Xiao’s heart, Lin Dan was no different from a son.

"Remember, only the two of you. My people are watching. You won’t even be able to see him if youre accompanied by others!" The transmission stone suddenly dimmed. Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue’s faces were icy.

Dongshen Yue closed her eyes and sighed, "Lin Dan likes to go out and fool around too much!"

"It has nothing to do with him. Were the ones that brought this upon him!" Lin Xiao roared, frightening her.

"Lin Laoer, don’t get upset. We have to rescue him right away, but we have to think about this first."

The old couple had seen everything.

"Alright." Lin Xiao nodded, trying to control his temper and anxiety.

"First of all, were their target. They want us dead," Dongshen Yue said

"Yes," Lin Xiao said.

"Second, they must have people and eyes watching us to know exactly what were doing. They must have people watching Ghostmist Valley and the surrounding area," she added.

"You’re right, but that persons definitely not an Ebonian," Lin Xiao said firmly.

"What makes you say that?" Dongshen Yue asked.

"Were wearing Swordsoul Bracelets and we know those above us on the main ranking who are strong enough to kill us. When we meet, the Lin Clan would be able to determine who that person is if they were from Ebonia," Lin Xiao explained.

Although they were concerned about Lin Dan, they had quickly regained their composure.

"Now that Bitch Yi oversees the Infinitum Mundus, not even the ebons can openly kill us." Dongshen Yue nodded.

"Whoevers trying to kill us isnt an ebon, but those watching us definitely are," Lin Xiao said.

"Who else could it be?" Dongshen Yue rolled her eyes.

Although they knew that was the case, they couldnt blame the ebons, either, because they had no proof. Even if they caught those watching them, they could say that they just so happened to be nearby. They wanted to kill Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue to take down the Swordgod Lin Clan? If that was confirmed, it would be a major blow to those in the Lin Clan who believed in the ebons, so of course their opponents wouldnt leave anything that could be used against them.

"If we walk into their trap, well be at their mercy." Dongshen Yue looked gloomy.

"The trouble is, if anything goes wrong, or if we bring anyone with us, Gou Dan might lose his life. They can always look for another opportunity, but I can’t let this child die for me.... Ive lived enough, but the child hasnt!" When Lin Xiao thought of that, he panicked. He couldnt imagine how miserable they would have been without Gou Dan to distract and talk to them.

"It looks like we have to go after all, and we cant bring anyone else. If we go, we die. They might not even keep their promise to let him live...." Dongshen Yue grit her teeth, her face gloomy. Her skull staff was shrouded in a bloody mist.

It was a real challenge for them. They werent really afraid of death, but they didn’t want Lin Dan to suffer. They had almost given up on their desires, but now they had a grandson and granddaughters-in-law they wanted to protect.

The couple was torn with grief.

"Lin Laoer, it seems that the only way out of this lies with that thing you carry," Dongshen Yue whispered in his ear.

"Okay, well go. Lets see whos better at hiding." Lin Xiao opened his eyes which radiated sword ki. "What about the children?" He looked at Feiling and the girls.

They had overheard the conversation between the two and were equally upset.

"Jun just left. Ill ask him to come back right now."
