Life and death were unpredictable; everyone had their own fate.
Since these cultivators came to the Desolate Moon Lake in search of fortuitous encounters, they had to be prepared for the worst.
How could there be any fortuitous encounter in this world that could be easily obtained without paying a price?
Even without the mermaids massacring or the giant beasts, these cultivators might have died in the internal fights over the treasures they obtained.
The strong ruled over life and death, and the weak were the original sins. This was an unchanging truth of the Martial Dao world.
Only by being strong could one survive!
"Roar!"
"Despicable humans, one day, I will kill all of you!"
The Mermaid King stepped on the huge waves with its trident in hand and roared to the sky. Its voice rumbled like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Desolate Moon Lake.
"Roar!"
Thousands of mermaids surfaced from the lake and raised the tridents in their hands high in the air. They roared with a shocking aura.
Only after a while did they return to the depths of the Desolate Moon Lake under the lead of the Mermaid King.
"Splash!"
The surface of the Desolate Moon Lake shimmered with ripples.
Occasionally, unknown birds would land on the surface of the lake and chase each other.
The scenery of the lake was extremely beautiful.
It was like everything that had just happened. The mermaids chased the cultivators and killed them. Corpses littered the river. Blood dyed the lake red. Three hundred meter tall waves collapsed. Thousands of cultivators instantly died at the bottom of the lake …
It was just the same nightmare for the surviving cultivators at the lakeside.
"There seems to be a change at the bottom of the lake!"
Lin Buzheng's eyes widened. He could clearly see the sacred herb field at the bottom of the lake. Spiritual energy permeated the air, and a myriad of colorful lights shone in the air. It was as if the sacred herb had matured, exuding an incomparably fatal allure.
Furthermore, the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake washed away the dirt and rust on the surface of the ruins.
A simple and unadorned, grand, and mysterious building from ancient times finally revealed its full appearance.
Dense Dao Runes were written on it. Black ripples spread out from the depths of the building, radiating throughout the entire Desolate Moon Lake.
"Brother Lin, I have to take care of the disciples of the clan. I will bid you farewell here."
"You have saved my life twice. This little girl will never forget it. I will never forget it in this lifetime."
Wang Yurou's voice was gentle as she bowed to Lin Buzheng. Then, she left with the surviving Wang Clan disciples.
Without a doubt, with the appearance of the Fishmen, the Desolate Moon Lakeside had become incomparably dangerous. It had once again become a forbidden ground for humans, so they had to leave as soon as possible.
Today, there were more than five hundred disciples from the Wang Clan who had come to Desolate Moon Lake to search for the Spiritual Treasure. However, there were only a few disciples who had left with Wang Yurou.
From this, it could be seen that the Wang family's disciples had suffered heavy losses.
"Let's go too!"
Lin Buzheng said in a low voice. Then, he led over a hundred disciples and set off for the Lin family.
Although the Desolate Moon Lake was far from Eternal Peace City, there was not much danger along the way.
Lin Buzheng led the clan's disciples and hurried on with their journey. Not long after, they arrived at the Lin family.
"Bu Zheng, good job!"
"I didn't misjudge you!"
As soon as the fishman appeared in the lake, there were Lin family disciples who noticed it and quickly returned to the clan to report this matter.
At this moment, the Lin family's Patriarch, Lin Yushan, was waiting at the entrance of the Lin Mansion with a dozen elders.
Seeing Lin Buzheng leading the clan's disciples back safe and sound, especially when they learned that Lin Buzheng had saved more than a hundred clan's disciples at the final moment of the huge wave, they immediately had a high evaluation of Lin Buzheng, praising him endlessly.
Today, the Lin family had sent over five hundred disciples to Desolate Moon Lake to search for the Spiritual Treasure. In the end, over three hundred disciples had returned. It could be said that they had suffered heavy losses.
However, the other three great clans of Eternal Peace City had also come out in full force.
Compared to the Lin family, they had sent more disciples to search for the Spiritual Treasure.
However, in the end, less than a hundred disciples from each of the three clans had escaped. Most of the disciples had died at the bottom of the lake.
This was especially so for the Zhao family. Even the Patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Qingsong, who had a cultivation of Stage Nine Qi Path, had lost his life to the Fishman King. The Zhao family's losses were far greater than the Lin family's.
After some calculations, the Lin family's losses were the lightest among the four great clans.
As a result, the Lin family's strength had exceeded the other three great clans by a large margin. They had become a super powerful clan in Eternal Peace City!
Lin Buzheng had saved more than a hundred family disciples, and the most important thing was that Lin Buzheng had saved.
One could imagine that the Lin family would definitely grasp this opportunity to expand their territory. They would swallow up the shops, mines, and other territories of the other three great clans in Eternal Peace City and obtain endless benefits.
"Lin Buzheng, during the Desolate Moon Lake's change, you saved over a hundred disciples and single-handedly turned the situation around."
"This matter is already qualified to be recorded in the Inheritance Jade Pillar of the clan's ancestral hall. It will be passed down from generation to generation to encourage future generations."
"In three days, the clan's experts sent by the main family will arrive to explore the ruins at the bottom of the lake. At the same time, they will investigate the matter of Lin Tianze's death. You must make early preparations."
After Patriarch Lin Yushan asked about the Desolate Moon Lake's change in detail, he gave a few simple instructions to Lin Buzheng before letting him go.
"What does the arrival of the main family's experts have to do with me?"
"Could it be that the Patriarch's last sentence was hinting something to me?"
"Could it be that the Patriarch already knows that I was the one who killed Lin Tianze?"
On the way back, Lin Buzheng frowned. His expression was grim. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Patriarch Lin Yushan's words were hinting something to him.
"Whatever, I'll focus on cultivation first."
"As for other matters, I'll wait for the main family's experts to arrive before I act according to the situation."
After returning home, Lin Buzheng did not think too much about it. He meditated in the courtyard and quickly cleared his chaotic thoughts. His mind was empty, and his heart was empty. He focused on cultivating the White Deer Green Mark Technique.
The White Deer Green Mark Technique was recommended by Lin Liuliu's father, Lin Tianhao, to Lin Buzheng. It was a perfect Earth Class Lower Grade Technique. It was strange and mysterious, containing profound martial arts principles. The level of the technique was even higher than the seven secret techniques of the Lin family.
However, after Lin Buzheng cultivated it, he realized that it was an incomparably evil cultivation technique.
When a martial artist cultivated for a certain period of time, the Martial True Qi in their meridians would automatically flow in reverse, causing great harm to the martial artist's body. It could even kill the martial artist on the spot.
However, the Reincarnation Imperial Sutra in Lin Buzheng's mind had absorbed the White Deer Green Mark Technique and evolved to a new White Deer Theurgy. It was no longer evil, and he could safely cultivate it.
When Lin Buzheng was surrounded by the mermaids, he relied on the Deer Transformation Theurgy at the critical moment to escape unscathed.
After that, he also relied on his understanding of the Deer Transformation Theurgy to push his speed to the maximum and save more than a hundred disciples in the time it took for the giant wave to crash down.
According to Lin Buzheng's understanding of the Deer Transformation Theurgy, the White Deer Green Mark Technique had a total of seven moves.
Turn, spin, leap, charge, retreat, fall, dodge.
Every time a martial artist mastered a move, their movement technique would become lighter and more agile.
Not only was it fast, but it was also untraceable, making it impossible for the opponent to guard against it. Whether it was used for defense or offense, it was always successful.
After mastering the seven moves, they could be combined into one, turning into a new move called the Green Mark Strike.
When the first move was used, the power of the seven moves perfectly merged together, turning into a green blade of air. It was like a flying deer's horn, terrifying and shocking.
However, the Green Mark Strike was also a life-risking strike.
With one strike, it would completely drain the Martial True Qi in a martial artist's body.
If one couldn't defeat the opponent with one strike, they wouldn't even have the strength to resist. They would be at the mercy of their opponent and would end up in a miserable state.
It was like a white deer being preyed on by tigers and leopards. At the critical moment, it could only fight with all its might.
