"Lan Gen 'er, you're oversimplifying the situation. First of all, we don't know anything about that person called Yang Yutian. If he has some kind of powerful background, then it is indeed a good thing for our Lan Ming clan. But have you ever thought about what would happen if Yang Yutian offended some terrifying enemy? What would happen to our Lan Ming clan? Although our Lan Ming clan has a very high status in Sava City, that is only limited to a small place like Sakar City. On the Tian Yuan Continent, our Lan Ming clan is as weak as an ant. There are some troubles that we can't afford to get involved with. So, I don't agree with sacrificing Ying' er's lifelong happiness for this bet."
"That makes sense. The identity of this person called Yang Yutian is unclear. Currently, we can't predict whether he will bring good fortune or disaster to our Lan Ming clan. This is too risky."
"Don't think of the situation as that bad. As the saying goes, riches and honor are found in danger. If we don't take the risk, then our Lan Ming clan can only hole up in this small Sakar City forever. This is an opportunity for our Lan Ming clan. After all, such young experts are extremely rare on the Tian Yuan Continent. However, every single one of them is a heavenly genius. Their future is limitless. This may be an opportunity for our Lan Ming clan to rise up."
… …
More than a dozen people were gathered around the table in an intense discussion. Regarding the matter of betrothing the young lady of the Lan Ming clan to Jianchen and binding Jianchen to the Lan Ming clan, some people supported and some people opposed. Everyone had their own reasons and all of them were very clear and logical. So, after a long discussion, they still couldn't come to a final decision.
"Alright, everyone calm down first. We won't be able to come to a conclusion even if we continue to discuss like this. Why don't we listen to the patriarch's opinion?" A person said.
Immediately, the gazes of more than a dozen people gathered on the old patriarch of the Lan Ming clan.
The old patriarch sat at the head of the table with an expressionless face. He gave off a dignified feeling. He looked at everyone with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, "Every single one of you is thinking of ways to rope in an Earth Saint Master as soon as you see him. Do you really think it's that easy to rope in someone like him? Moreover, such young experts are all very proud and arrogant. Although there is no lack of low-key people among them, such geniuses aren't people that our small Lanming Family can keep. Maybe they won't stay in Sakar City for too long. Well, let's not discuss this anymore. This matter ends here, I will make my own judgment. If you have the leisure, then you should discuss how to deal with the Black Wind Bandits. Humph, they even dared to make a move on my precious granddaughter. If our Lanming Family doesn't get justice for this matter, then we won't have the face to establish ourselves in Sakar City. "
"Yes, Patriarch!" Everyone agreed one after another. The Old Family Head's prestige in the Lan Ming Clan was very high. No one dared to disobey his words.
...
Early the next morning, Jianchen dismissed the servants who had been sent to scout him. Afterwards, he left the Lanming Family and wandered around the streets.
Sakar City was a second class city. The flow of people was also very high. Some of the bustling streets were filled with people dressed in luxurious clothes. Mixed among them were quite a few rough looking men dressed as mercenaries. In the middle of the streets, there were traces of carriages running over each other, as if symbolizing the splendor of Sakar City.
"Make way, make way, everyone make way." Suddenly, a team of more than twenty mercenaries riding on first grade magical beast mounts came running from behind at high speed. In the end, they dashed towards the city gate like lightning, causing the surrounding pedestrians to look at them in astonishment one after another.
"They seem to be the Werewolf Mercenaries. Looking at their hurried appearance, it seems that something urgent has happened." A passerby looked at the group of mercenaries in the distance and commented.
"You don't know about this. Last night, a piece of news came. It is said that a sixth rank magical beast has appeared in the Thousand Poison Mountain Range five hundred kilometers away. It seems to have just given birth. Moreover, it is seriously injured and covered in blood. Its fighting strength is not even comparable to a fifth rank magical beast. Looking at the Black Wolf Mercenaries' hurried appearance, it seems that they are rushing over because of this matter. If they can kill a seriously injured sixth rank magical beast, it would be a shocking fortune." A person dressed as a mercenary said.
"You're just bragging. Since there is a seriously injured sixth rank magical beast there, why don't you go?" That person didn't believe and questioned.
The mercenary's face was also filled with helplessness. He said, "Even if it is a heavily injured magical beast, it is still not that easy to deal with. With the strength of a mere Saint Master, I'm afraid that even escaping will be a problem. It is best if I don't get involved in this kind of matter. Otherwise, I guarantee that I won't be able to live for long."
Not far away, Jianchen's ears twitched slightly. He immediately heard the two people's conversation clearly. He immediately arrived in front of that person and asked, "Brother, you said that a sixth rank magical beast has appeared in the Thousand Poison Mountain Range. Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. I just passed by that place last night and there is already a large group of people gathered there. Almost all of them are Great Saint Masters and there are even Earth Saint Masters. How can it be false?" The mercenary's face was stern. It didn't seem like he was lying.
At this time, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from behind. Another group of over thirty people riding on magical beast mounts quickly rushed in the direction of the city gate.
"Those are the people from the Golden Scale Mercenaries. The ones running at the front are the captain and vice captain. It seems like they are also rushing towards the Thousand Poison Mountain Range."
Just as the people from the Golden Scale Mercenaries left, another group of people quickly rushed over from the end of the street behind them.
"That is one of the two great clans of Sakar City, the Firebird clan." Seeing the group of people, someone immediately cried out in surprise.
"Isn't that the patriarch of the Firebird clan? He is one of the three great experts of our Sakar City. He is already an Earth Saint Master. Seeing that they are in such a hurry, could it be that something big has happened?" The people on the street immediately began to discuss spiritedly.
Not long after the people from the Firebird clan left, another group of people rushed over from the end of the street. When Jianchen saw this group of people, a trace of surprise immediately appeared in his eyes. This was because this group of people was actually the people from the Lanming clan. The one at the front was the old patriarch of the Lanming clan.
When the people from the Lanming clan were about to pass by him, Jianchen walked out of the crowd and stopped the group of people from the Lanming clan. In the beginning, the people from the Lanming clan all had angry expressions on their faces, but when they saw that the other party was Jianchen, the anger on their faces immediately disappeared without a trace. They greeted Jianchen with smiles on their faces.
The patriarch of the Lanming clan also revealed a trace of a smile on his face and said, "Little brother, we have finally found you."
"Patriarch, seeing that you are in such a hurry, could it be that something has happened?" Jianchen asked.
The patriarch nodded and said, "That's right. Last night, we received news that there is a heavily injured Class 6 Magical Beast in the Thousand Poison Mountain Range five hundred kilometers away. We are currently rushing over there. Originally, I had sent someone to invite you here early in the morning, but you were already not in the clan. Due to the lack of time, we could only inform the guards to wait for you to return and tell you the news. After that, we left first. Little brother, I wonder if you are interested in going with us to the Thousand Poison Mountain Range."
"So this matter is actually true." Jianchen murmured in a low voice, then agreed to the request of the Lanming clan.
Next, one of the people from the Lanming clan immediately gave up his leather mount to Jianchen, while he and another person rode together.
Jianchen didn't speak nonsense, mounted his mount and followed the thirty people of the Lanming clan to the Thousand Poison Mountain Range. After Jianchen left, the mercenary still stood there in a daze, looking at the distant figure of Jianchen, muttering, "Who is this person, actually walking so close to the Lanming clan, even the patriarch of the Lanming clan is so polite to him. Ai, if I had known earlier, I would have tried to befriend him more."
Jianchen and the people of the Lanming clan were madly rushing along the road, while the patriarch of the Lanming clan was constantly explaining the news of the Thousand Poison Mountain Range to Jianchen.
Riding on their third-rank magical beasts, everyone quickly left Sakar city, then madly rushed along the official road. After an hour and a half of hurrying, they finally arrived at the periphery of the Thousand Poison Mountain Range. From afar, they could see a huge mountain range creeping on the ground like a giant beast. The peak of the mountain was faintly discernible in the clouds. Not to mention the steep terrain, it was also very high, the highest peak was at least four thousand meters high. Even from afar, they could see a faint layer of poisonous gas floating around the Thousand Poison Mountain Range.
And at the periphery of the Thousand Poison Mountain Range, a large group of people had already gathered, the number of people was at least several thousand, and many tents had already been set up.
The group of people of the Lanming clan stopped at the periphery of the Thousand Poison Mountain Range, then the old patriarch took out a jade bottle and gave it to Jianchen, then said, "Little brother, this is the antidote, although the poisonous gas here is not strong, and does not pose a threat to us, but after a long time, it will inevitably have some effects, so for the sake of safety, we should take a Poison Avoidance Pill."
Jianchen nodded, then took out a Poison Avoidance Pill from inside, and swallowed it as if he was eating soybeans.
After the people of the Lanming clan swallowed a Poison Avoidance Pill, they dismounted one after another, leaving behind two people to keep watch, the rest followed the old patriarch into the depths of the Thousand Poison Mountain Range.
At this point, there was no need to distinguish the direction at all, because the ground had been densely covered with footprints that led to the depths of the forest. They only needed to follow this path forward, and the path made by the people in front of them would naturally lead them in the right direction.
The weakest among them had already reached the level of Great Saint Master, so their speed was very fast, not long after, they climbed to the highest peak, then after walking for a short distance, they stopped, because in front of them, there were already several hundred people gathered here, each and every one of them had a serious expression on their face as they stared ahead.
