Laibo's face paled as he held the white longsword. The deathly still aura on his body became even stronger, but the radiance of his life weakened a bit.
A wisp of black slowly appeared on the hilt of that white longsword and rapidly covered the entire blade, turning it back into an ordinary black sword without a wisp of aura.
Laibo's expression was a bit strange. He put the longsword on his back and hid his right hand behind his back, faintly shivering.
'Damnit, that guy really isn't a special puppet. How could a 9th Rank Archmage have that kind of power?
'Could it be that his mana is limitless? 'He actually plans on taking a potion? That terrifying potion actually needs pure runes to be sealed. What kind of potion is that?
'How powerful is it to be able to use it under such circumstances?
'I was almost killed by a 9th Rank Archmage. No apprentice would believe me if I go back and tell others about it. Is the people outside that frightening?'
Regret flashed in Lin Yun's eyes when he heard Laibo's words. He put away the Holysong Blood and the ancient scales' shadow under his feet slowly dissipated. The Purple Dragon's shadow and the wheel's shadow also dissipated at any time.
The flaming gate on the left turned into a shadow and dissipated, and the huge wheel on the right also dissipated.
Only the fighting intent burning in Lin Yun's eyes didn't dissipate for a long time.
Halfway through the battle, Lin Yun knew that the other side might not be the guardian of the ruins. When the other side's black longsword started fading and turning white, Lin Yun recognized that sword.
The legendary Song of Sacrifice was one of the legendary weapons in the hands of Sword Saints in the future. Very few were able to leave their names behind and were recorded in Heiss City's decaying library. Even the Song of Sacrifice itself was in Heiss City.
Unfortunately, at that time, the Song of Sacrifice would be a piece of scrap metal that no one could use, and no one would have the power to use.
The most obvious manifestation of the Song of Sacrifice was its deathly stillness. It was a deathly stillness that made people feel despair, a deathly stillness that was even purer than death itself. When it was fully unleashed, the Song of Sacrifice would turn from pure black to pure white. This was a change that could only be achieved by pouring life into it.
However, it could be seen that Lin Yun did not intend to stop. It was not easy for him to meet an expert who was on par with him, so he had to fight. Moreover, he did not know whether the other party had misunderstood or really intended to kill him.
When Lin Yun sensed that the other party's Life Force had dropped significantly, he knew that the other party was planning to go all out. Hence, he decisively took out the Bloodsobbing Holysong Potion. If he consumed the Bloodsobbing Holysong Potion, he could definitely kill the other party.
Who knew that the other party would call for them to stop and even disperse their power? Since that was the case, they could not continue fighting and could only stop …
Laibo sighed in relief when he saw that Lin Yun had finally stopped.
"Formidable Sir Mage, good day. I am Laibo Manteny from the Secret Monastery. You can call me Laibo. This was a misunderstanding, a very big misunderstanding.
"I thought that Sir Mage was the guardian puppet of the ruins, a relatively special puppet. After all, I have never seen an Archmage as powerful as you …" Laibo bitterly smiled as he said that.
Laibo bitterly smiled as he said that. A living person was recognized as a puppet, and a Heaven Rank powerhouse at that. This was a bit shameful.
But he had thought that Lin Yun was a mage at first, but after the burst of his aura, especially when the battle started, Laibo firmly believed that Lin Yun was a very special puppet.
'A 9th Rank Archmage can burst with the power of a 2nd Rank Heaven Mage? What a joke, this joke isn't funny at all …
'Especially in this kind of ruins that has been abandoned for who knows how many millennia, if a random 9th Rank Archmage could be so powerful, then it can't be anything else apart from a large number of puppets. He can't be a mage, even if he looks like a mage.'
Hearing Laibo's self-introduction, a flash of understanding flashed in Lin Yun's eyes.
'Sure enough, he's from the Secret Monastery …'
The Secret Monastery was a hidden inheritance of the Odin Kingdom. It was very powerful and very ancient. No one knew how many years it had been passed down. Even when the Secret Monastery was established during the peak of Noscent, it was a mystery.
Roughly a few millennia later, when Noscent started the Planar Colonization Era, all forces started rapidly developing. Whether it was magic or alchemy, they developed very quickly.
The endless planes had endless resources and a huge variety. This was an opportunity for Noscent's development. The number of planes controlled and the number of resources controlled became the most direct representation of a force's development speed.
At that time, the Secret Monastery could no longer remain hidden. Noscent's resources already made them unable to keep up with the footsteps of the other forces.
A weak force was bound to be eliminated at that time. Being weak was a sin, they couldn't even protect themselves, let alone remain hidden.
Thus, at that time, the master of the Secret Monastery decisively made a decision. At the start of the wave, they kept up with the pace of the era and started the Planar Colonization Era.
And it was also because of this decision that the Secret Monastery wasn't eliminated when the great era descended and even became a peak force of the Odin Kingdom.
As a swordsman force, it wasn't easy to occupy a peak position in the Great Mage Era.
It was all because of the Secret Monastery's ancient inheritance, deathless aura!
That kind of aura was very similar to death aura, but it wasn't the same. It wasn't death aura, but pure deathly stillness. It was an aura that could make all power deathly still.
Through the inheritance's secret method, vitality could be nurtured from childhood. The vitality of a swordsman might be even stronger than the vitality of an Expert Swordsman.
And huge vitality was the foundation for cultivating deathless aura. That kind of aura had a huge restraining effect on mages. At their peak, powerhouses of the Secret Monastery would only be able to fight to a draw against powerhouses of the Secret Monastery who cultivated deathless aura.
Some weaker mages might not be the opponents of the Secret Monastery's powerful Sword Saints.
As for that Song of Sacrifice, it truly became famous over five millennia later, because the Secret Monastery's powerhouse holding that sword got rid of an 8th Rank Heaven Mage when he was at the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm!
It was that battle that allowed the Secret Monastery to gain a firm foothold in that great era and made all mage forces have no choice but to treat them as equals.
In addition, the deathless aura corresponded to an enormous life force, allowing these Sword Saints to live longer than some mages. Especially when attacking the Undead Plane, the deathless aura of the Secret Monastery could suppress the Undead, even comparable to the Holy Light Mages. Moreover, these fellows weren't suppressed like the Holy Light Mages in the Undead Plane, and they weren't like the Holy Light Mages in the Undead Plane, where entering the Undead Plane was like a taunt.
How could Lin Yun not know about the legendary inheritance, the legendary force, the only first-rate force with a Sword Saint at the helm for a very long time?
"Good day, I'm Mafa Merlin from the Andalusia Kingdom's Merlin Family. I came to participate in the Starry Sky College's gathering. I also thought of you as the guardian of the ruins, please forgive me."
Since he couldn't fight, Lin Yun could only feel a bit regretful and express that this was a misunderstanding.
Laibo bitterly smiled as he looked at the fighting intent in Lin Yun's eyes that still hadn't dissipated. His right hand hidden behind his back was still shaking. He had consumed a lot of vitality in that fight, especially when unsealing the Song of Sacrifice. Every second consumed a large amount of vitality.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, this is a beautiful misunderstanding. Were you also trapped here by accident?"
Lin Yun shook his head.
"I accidentally obtained the coordinates of the ruins and came here to look for something related to alchemy. The puppets in the ruins proved that my thoughts weren't wrong …"
Lin Yun naturally didn't tell the truth. He only said that he had accidentally obtained the coordinates and came here to look for something. This was very normal for an alchemist, it was even more normal than mages exploring ruins. There were many things that mages and even ordinary alchemists couldn't use. Only some powerful alchemists would need some special things.
But Laibo's eyes shone before Lin Yun could finish his words.
"Sir Mafa, you are also a formidable Artisan? I just saw you take out a potion and you seem to be proficient in potioneering. How is your mastery of arrays? "
Laibo impatiently asked. He seemed to have noticed his rudeness and immediately added, "Sir Mafa, please don't misunderstand.
"Sir Mafa, please don't misunderstand. I and a few of my junior apprentice brothers and sisters accidentally barged into this place and got trapped in these ruins. We simply can't find the way out. Moreover, apart from me, my junior apprentice brothers and sisters are all trapped in the array.
"I wanted to forcibly break open the array, but it led to unexpected changes. I hope you don't mind this."
Lin Yun said a few words to Laibo before ignoring him. He still had things to do. Since he couldn't fight, there was no point in wasting time here. It was more important to quickly find the Reedpush Plate.
Laibo hesitated before making a request to Lin Yun.
"Sir Mafa, I can't break open those arrays and safely rescue my junior apprentice brothers and sisters. Moreover, some of them seem to have been poisoned. I don't know how long they can last.
"I hope you can help. In exchange, you can obtain the friendship of our Secret Monastery. Moreover, you can directly ask if you need anything. Our Secret Monastery has a collection of many precious things."
Lin Yun originally didn't want to continue chatting with Laibo. He wasn't interested in the other side asking him to help. He had seen the entire array layout of the ruins from the map. Unless the other side barged into those dangerous arrays in the east, they wouldn't be in too much danger.
Most of the arrays here were for defense, they weren't traps. As long as nothing unexpected happened, no one would die. With Laibo's deathless aura, he would be able to save them. Moreover, the Secret Monastery's people had monster-like vitality and ordinary poisons simply couldn't poison them.
But hearing Laibo's words, the other side seemed to have a lot of people. Hearing this, Lin Yun suddenly recalled that the completely concealed array on the easternmost side of the ruins seemed to be constructed according to a hexagram.
This meant that the array had seven core nodes. The best way to crack it was to crack the seven nodes at the same time. That way, the entire array's energy circuit would collapse temporarily. That would be enough time to explore the area covered by the array.
If he wanted to find anything, he would have enough time to search there. If he cracked it bit by bit, it would take a long time, and he might not necessarily be able to activate something.
That array was a Heaven Grade Array that surpassed the True Spirit Array. It would be very difficult to crack it on his own. There were only five days left until the Starry Sky College's gathering. There might not be enough time to crack the array in that time.
If he had the help of the Secret Monastery's people, five days would definitely be enough.
That Laibo was already at the 2nd Rank of the Heaven realm. Since his junior apprentice brothers and sisters could be brought out to gain experience, they should be Peak 9th Rank Sword Saints at the very least.
According to the tradition of the future Secret Monastery, after reaching Peak 9th Rank Sword Saints, they would be sent to some dangerous planes to temper themselves. If they were talented and had high hopes, they would be directly sent to the Death Planes to temper themselves. If they weren't careful, they might even die there.
Now, Laibo's junior apprentice brothers and sisters might also be like that. They were making their final preparations to advance to the Heaven Rank and came out to gain experience and gain experience. Staying in the Secret Monastery, how could they become Heaven Rank powerhouses in seclusion?
As long as they could gather five Peak 9th Rank Sword Saints, they would be able to help Lin Yun crack that array faster. As he thought of this, Lin Yun asked, "How many of you came?
How strong are they? " How strong are they? "
Laibo was overjoyed when he heard this and promptly answered, "My five junior apprentice brothers and one junior apprentice sister.
"I have five junior apprentice brothers and one junior apprentice sister. The weakest is a 9th Rank Sword Saint, while the strongest is a Peak 9th Rank Sword Saint."
Lin Yun nodded and straightforwardly agreed.
"Alright, you lead the way. After saving your junior apprentice sisters and brothers, you'll help me crack an array. I need seven people to crack that array."
An ecstatic smile appeared on Laibo's face as Lin Yun agreed. He was the protector of the Secret Monastery this time, he was leading the most talented people of the Secret Monastery's next generation to gain experience. If they all died here, he wouldn't be able to go back.
He had been worried to death these past few days, but now that he finally found a way to save his junior apprentice brothers and sisters, how could he not be ecstatic?
It wasn't easy for the disciples of the Secret Monastery to find a suitable inheritor. It was a lot more difficult than finding a talented mage who might advance to the Heaven Rank. The Secret Monastery wouldn't be able to bear the loss of the most talented disciples of the next generation.
Now that he had Lin Yun's help, especially after learning that Lin Yun was an alchemist, he was even more relieved. As for helping him crack the array, that wasn't a problem.
