Old Tian's crisis was finally averted. The Visitation Hall members had worked together and somehow managed to evolve the tyrannosaurus using the Curator's evaluation report.
Old Tian's face was glowing. Of course, he was elated. Even though he was the blood contract owner, he had no idea what was going on with the tyrannosaurus. Why did it have colorful scales? Why did it have a monstrous appearance? Sometimes, even he found it hard to control it.
But none of this was a problem.
More importantly, he now had a Rank 4 pet beast. That was the most important thing.
In this way, even in the continent where he was from, he, Tian Bao, would become a very important person. This was very normal. Any place that had a Rank 4 beast was someone who could make the surrounding kingdoms tremble with a stomp of his foot.
This was exhilarating.
Old Tian was already looking forward to a bright future.
Of course, he knew how all of this came about. His greatest reliance now might not be his Rank 4 tyrannosaurus, but the Visitation Hall.
Only now did Old Tian realize how amazing the Curator was. It was no wonder even existences like Black Crow, Ghost Child, and Old Ye were so respectful to the Curator. Recalling his initial attitude, Old Tian wanted to slap himself.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late for him to come to his senses.
Now that Old Tian was casually chatting with them, they began discussing a problem.
What could have made the Curator so anxious that he left after just a brief greeting? This was something that had never happened before.
Could the Curator have encountered some danger?
They immediately rejected this thought. To the Visitation Hall members, there was nothing in this world that could threaten the Curator.
They had absolute confidence in the Curator.
Hence, in the end, they couldn't come to a conclusion. Ghost Child didn't get any information about Zombie Cthulhu and He Qing didn't convey her sister He Yu's gratitude. Of course, they had a lot to talk about but they had nowhere to go.
They could only wait for the next Visitation Hall to open.
Meanwhile, after Lin Jin returned from the Visitation Hall, he encountered a strange incident.
Lin Jin had come back in a hurry to study the Mist Carrier since he already had a rough idea of how to proceed. But to his surprise, not long after he sat down to study, he sensed something behind him. Turning around, he saw someone standing behind him.
The other party must have just arrived. Lin Jin was confident in his perceptive abilities. Also, the Visitation Hall's steel door behind him hadn't completely disappeared. With this boost, Lin Jin could sense things more subtly.
Clearly, this person wasn't one of those from the plaza. Lin Jin could tell that this person was highly skilled. Because other than Lin Jin, Hu Yuzhen didn't notice anything at all.
Also, this person's attire was not ordinary. Generally speaking, it was filled with an ancient charm and seemed to be very extraordinary. However, it just so happened that he looked like an ordinary person. In fact, in terms of aura, he couldn't even compare to the group of people in the square.
The more it was like this, the more wrong it was. At such a time, something so wrong must be dealt with seriously.
Hence, Lin Jin stopped studying. Instead, he got up and looked at the person, ready to strike. If it was an enemy, Lin Jin was confident that he could retaliate immediately.
Speaking of which, he had cultivated the Beastmaster Fourth Scroll and fused it with Xiao Huo's Yin Yang Dharma body. He had yet to reveal his skills so if this person was an enemy, he could use this opportunity to test his current strength.
Only then did Hu Yuzhen, who had been standing respectfully beside him, notice something amiss. She quickly turned around, and when she saw the person, she immediately got up.
Lin Jin waved at her, gesturing for her not to act rashly.
Just then, the person chuckled and saluted. "The spirit energy in the outside world has dried up and the path of immortality has fallen. Yet, to think that I would still be able to meet a fellow cultivator. How rare and precious."
Since the person was being polite, Lin Jin couldn't possibly be impolite so he returned the gesture.
The person walked over with a smile. When he got closer, he glanced at Hu Yuzhen and shook his head. "Fellow cultivator, why are you keeping a demon like him?"
Although his tone was calm, it was laced with murderous intent.
Of course, this murderous intent wasn't directed at Lin Jin but at Hu Yuzhen.
At that instant, Hu Yuzhen sensed extreme danger. This danger felt like a towering mountain pressing down on her, as if the sky was about to topple over. She couldn't even muster the strength to resist.
Hu Yuzhen was no fool. She was a monster who had cultivated for hundreds of years and possessed superhuman intelligence. She knew full well that she was on the brink of death and the saddest thing was that she didn't have the right to decide whether she lived or died. In other words, her own life and death had nothing to do with her.
The only person who could save her was Mr. Lin.
However, Hu Yuzhen didn't even dare to look at Mr. Lin. She could only stand there stiffly as if she would be struck by lightning if she moved even the slightest bit.
Behind her, White Ape shrunk his head, not daring to move. As for the zombie cthulhu in the coffin, he was just like a corpse, not making a single sound.
The only one who was at ease here was Lin Jin.
He could tell that this man in ancient robes had impressive skills and that his realm was unfathomable.
However, since Lin Jin had decided to slay Hu Yuzhen's demon, he wouldn't allow anyone else to interfere. Moreover, if he gave in due to pressure, it would only be despicable.
"Keep it. I'll slay her demon!" Lin Jin answered honestly.
The man in ancient robes was stunned at this before he burst into laughter. "Great, great. Since you're willing to do so, that's for the best."
Following his laughter, that seemingly nonexistent yet omnipresent murderous intent finally dissipated. Hu Yuzhen was drenched in sweat, feeling as if she had just narrowly escaped death.
Her respect for Mr. Lin grew.
At this moment, the ancient robed man said, "Originally, I only had this remnant of my soul left in this magic treasure, the Supreme Mountain and River Diagram. I just wanted some peace and quiet. If it wasn't for the fact that I saw Dao Friend using the spatial movement technique, I wouldn't have come out. Dao Friend, please don't laugh at me. This is the first time I've seen something like this."
At this, Lin Jin immediately understood.
The man was talking about the Visitation Hall.
Only then did the faint image of the Visitation Hall's door behind Lin Jin slowly fade away like a mirage.
Lin Jin didn't know how to explain this so he smiled faintly and said, "Sorry for the disturbance!"
"Sigh, what disturbance? I'm happy." The man in ancient robes waved. "To be honest, this remnant of my soul doesn't have much time left. To be able to meet such an expert before I dissipate is already a blessing in disguise."
Lin Jin blushed with shame at his words.
The man in ancient robes had clearly misunderstood. The Visitation Hall door wasn't his supernatural power but the Museum of Deadly Beasts. But there was no way to explain this.
Moreover, this misunderstanding was a good thing. Lin Jin could tell how powerful this man was and from his words, he learned that the place he was in was called Unending Nature Painting. It was an artifact that belonged to this man in ancient robes. In a sense, this man in ancient robes was a legendary cultivator, the ancient immortal General Lion had mentioned.
Hence, it was better for this misunderstanding to never be resolved. Otherwise, if this ancient immortal thought Lin Jin was messing with him, that would be terrible.
