Lin Tianchong naturally understood Chu Xingyun's concerns.
He carefully looked at the paper. Other than the method to open it, there was also a method to close it. It was for Chu Xingyun to close the Yin Yang Spirit Sealing Formation after he entered it.
That way, others would not be able to enter the secret realm, nor would they be able to fight for the Spirit Awakening Grass.
"Although your method is good, practically everyone in the Sunset Cloud Valley wants to kill you right now. I'm afraid that before you even reach the lake, you'll be surrounded by everyone." Lin Tianchong looked down. More and more people were entering the Sunset Cloud Valley. Among them, the majority were people from the Crashing Tiger Hall. They were constantly searching for Chu Xingyun's whereabouts.
"That's simple." Chu Xingyun lightly smiled. Spiritual power surged out from his body, emitting 'kacha' 'kacha' 'kacha' 'kacha' 'kacha' sounds. Immediately after, his figure changed. He became much more robust. His face also became resolute. His facial features were especially deep.
In just a short moment, Chu Xingyun had turned into a robust middle-aged man. There were no longer any traces of his previous appearance.
"So you even know how to disguise yourself. In that case, there won't be any problems." Lin Tianchong laughed. If he had not personally seen Chu Xingyun changing his appearance, he might have been deceived.
"I'll approach the lake. Once I discover any abnormalities, I'll sneak in. Roughly half an hour later, close the Yin Yang Spirit Sealing Formation. After that, leave the rest to me." As Chu Xingyun spoke, his voice was filled with determination.
Lin Tianchong smiled, nodded and said, "Very well, I'll leave everything to you."
After saying that, he sat down cross-legged and began to carefully study the Yin Yang Spirit Sealing Formation. As for Chu Xingyun, he strode forward and ran along the mountain slope towards the lake.
The lake was not far from the mountain slope. It was only a few miles away.
On the way there, Chu Xingyun encountered many adventurers. Other than searching for spiritual materials, they were also looking around as if they were searching for something. They were chatting with one another.
"Two living people entered the Sunset Cloud Valley just like that. How come there's not even a trace of them?"
"I've heard that these two people have many tricks up their sleeves. They are most likely hiding. Otherwise, the Crashing Tiger Hall wouldn't have issued an arrest warrant and gathered countless adventurers to track them down."
"If you provide reliable information, you can get 500 spirit stones. If you capture those two alive, you can get a low-grade magic tool. With such generous rewards, it doesn't matter even if I have to work harder."
Chu Xingyun took in the words of these people. Although he did not show it on his face, the coldness in his heart grew stronger and stronger. This Lin Sheng's methods were really sinister. He was like a mad dog.
Restraining his aura, Chu Xingyun ignored the others and went straight to the lake.
Just as he approached, Chu Xingyun felt a heatwave sweep over. He looked forward and saw that there were flames floating on the surface of the lake. The surging heat was somewhat unbearable.
"There seems to be something on this lake."
Chu Xingyun focused his gaze. On the surface of the scorching lake, other than the flames, there were also fiery-red lotuses. In the center of the lotuses, there was a lotus core floating there. It was sparkling and translucent, with faint flames rolling around it.
A scorching heat was gushing out from the lotus core, causing the entire lake to become even hotter.
"It's actually the Rockheart Flaming Lotus!" Chu Xingyun was slightly shocked.
The Rockheart Flaming Lotus was a Grade 3 Spiritual Material. It was a rather unique Spiritual Material. The Fire Lotus Seed in the center of the lotus contained an enormous amount of Spiritual Power. It could be consumed directly. It was extremely beneficial for tempering one's body.
The value of a single Rockheart Flaming Lotus was not high. However, there were thousands of Rockheart Flaming Lotuses in front of him. The total value was quite tempting.
"The Rockcore Flaming Lotuses grow in lava fields. For them to suddenly appear in the lake and in such a large number, it must be because of the secret realm. This is troublesome. I'm afraid it will attract a lot of people." Chu Xingyun's face became somewhat ugly.
Sure enough, just as this thought appeared in his mind, there were already many people rushing over and starting to collect the Rockheart Flaming Lotuses.
Chu Xingyun calmed his mind and slowly approached the lake. Just at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed and directly rushed towards a Rockheart Flaming Lotus.
"This Rockheart Flaming Lotus is mine!"
The figure let out a hearty laugh. However, just as he was about to take the Rockheart Flaming Lotus, the lake below suddenly exploded. An enormous figure flashed out like lightning and wrapped around the figure's legs, pulling him into the lake.
"Ah!"
A miserable howl sounded out. Just as the figure came into contact with the lake water, his clothes started to burn. Not long after, the lake water was dyed red and emitted a pungent smell of blood.
"What's going on?" The eager crowd was immediately frightened by this scene. As they looked over, more and more black figures appeared in the lake, emitting a dangerous aura.
"It seems to be a Black Lava Python," Chu Xingyun said softly, causing the surrounding crowd's faces to turn ashen.
This Black Lava Python wasn't strong. It was only at the Fourth Sky of Spirit Gathering Realm. However, this kind of spiritual beast was extremely strong. As long as one was entangled by it, it would be difficult to break free in a short period of time.
Coupled with the scorching heat of the lake, once one was pulled into the lake, it would be difficult to escape.
"Let's take this opportunity to slowly approach the center of the lake!" Chu Xingyun's heart trembled. He immediately seized this opportunity and rushed towards the center of the lake.
Pfft!
Almost at the same time, a Black Lava Python pounced over. It opened its bloody mouth and was about to swallow Chu Xingyun.
"Get lost!" Chu Xingyun's eyes froze. He threw out a punch. The moment he touched the Black Lava Python, he completely ignored its bite. Sharp Sword Qi burst out from his fingers and easily pierced through the python's body.
"The snake's teeth can't break through the Black Lava Python's body. Its defense is also very ordinary." Chu Xingyun murmured. He felt more confident and increased his speed, reaching the center of the lake.
"Hmm?"
As soon as he stopped, Chu Xingyun's brows furrowed. A few figures suddenly rushed over from the side of the lake. Every one of them was filled with murderous intent.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! More and more sounds came from the side of the lake. The person in the lead was dressed in black cloth armor with a long sword at his waist. His eyes were red and his whole body emitted a cold aura. It was the Hall Master of the Cracking Tiger Hall — Lin Sheng.
The people around him were all elites of the Cracking Tiger Hall. They all drew their weapons and looked over coldly. When their gazes landed on Chu Xingyun, they didn't move.
"Why are they here?" Chu Xingyun was puzzled. At the same time, he completely concealed his aura and pretended that he didn't know anything. He didn't look directly at them.
