Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 2072 - 1061: Black Dragon Lair (Part 2)

At this moment, Lin Tianming’s gaze swept around the surroundings and finally settled in a certain direction.

Soon, Lin Tianming retracted his gaze and then said to Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi beside him.

"Tianyun, tomorrow is the agreed time, let’s take a good rest here today."

"Once we see the Dragon Turtle tomorrow, we will make further plans based on the actual situation."

"Hmm... This arrangement is quite good!"

Lin Tianyun responded with a sentence, then chose a suitable spot around to establish a cave abode.

Before long, Lin Tianyun had already set up the cave abode.

Next, the three of them entered the temporary cave abode together and began to close their eyes to rest.

Early the next morning, Lin Tianming and the others exited the temporary cave abode and went to the River Valley where they encountered the Fourth Order Dragon Turtle, waiting early.

As the scorching sun slowly rose, a huge vortex began to appear in the center of the broad river.

A few breaths later, a huge head slowly emerged from the vortex.

Soon after, as time went by, the thing in the vortex fully revealed its form.

And this form was exactly the Fourth Order Dragon Turtle they had seen before.

At this time, upon seeing the Dragon Turtle appear again, Lin Tianming immediately went up to greet it.

From a distance, Lin Tianming cupped his hands and clasped his fists towards the Fourth Order Dragon Turtle, initiating a greeting.

"This junior has met Dragon Turtle senior!"

And behind Lin Tianming, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi hurriedly cupped their hands to salute the Fourth Order Dragon Turtle, showing great respect.

At this moment, the Dragon Turtle also looked at Lin Tianming. Seeing Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi behind him, it also seemed a bit puzzled.

After a long while, the Dragon Turtle spoke: "Young ones, there’s no need for too much courtesy!"

After saying this, the Dragon Turtle then asked Lin Tianming: "Young friend, who are these two?"

Seeing the Dragon Turtle inquire about Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi’s identities, Lin Tianming had no intention of hiding and truthfully explained.

Hearing Lin Tianming’s explanation, the Dragon Turtle slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, it thought these two might be helpers Lin Tianming had brought.

Because of this, the Dragon Turtle was quite cautious, as Lin Tianming’s personal strength was not weak.

If Lin Tianming had found a few helpers on par with him, even with the Dragon Turtle’s strength, it would have considered that Lin Tianming had exceeded its control.

In such a case, continuing to cooperate with Lin Tianming would be like asking a tiger for its skin.

Fortunately, the two people behind Lin Tianming, although impressive, were clearly less powerful than him, the Dragon Turtle noted.

With this, even if Lin Tianming had the assistance of two kin, the Dragon Turtle still believed that the three were not its match.

Of course, this was merely the Dragon Turtle’s one-sided feeling.

In reality, it was far beyond the Dragon Turtle’s expectations.

However, the Dragon Turtle was unaware of this, so when it saw Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi, it was just a bit more cautious but didn’t take them seriously.

Even from the Dragon Turtle’s perspective, having two helpers might be a decent boost for their treasure hunt.

After all, their opponent, the Fourth Level Black Demon Dragon, was considerably formidable.

The Dragon Turtle, being a nemesis to the Black Demon Dragon, was naturally well aware of this.

And if they were in a stalemate, the two unfamiliar Golden Core Stage cultivators could become the last straw to break the opponent’s back.

Moreover, as per the previous agreement, regardless of whether Lin Tianming brought any help, the final loot was to be divided according to the quantity.

In this sense, Lin Tianming being able to play a bigger role in the upcoming treasure hunt was a result the Dragon Turtle wished to see.

Therefore, after hearing Lin Tianming’s explanation, the Dragon Turtle remained quite calm, as if it still had everything well in hand.

And this result was precisely what Lin Tianming wanted to see.

Thus, seeing the Dragon Turtle not overly suspicious, Lin Tianming proactively brought up the main matter to discuss.

At this point, the Dragon Turtle also had no intention of beating around the bush.

Next, according to the Dragon Turtle’s plan, they would first head to the Black Demon Dragon’s territory, then lurk near its lair.

Once the Black Demon Dragon appeared, they could immediately launch an attack to catch the opponent off guard.

At that time, the Dragon Turtle and Lin Tianming would be the main force, tasked with restraining the Black Demon Dragon.

Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi, meanwhile, would proceed to the Black Demon Dragon’s lair, to search for traces of the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus.

Once the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus was found, they could take it away.

This plan was a relatively stable approach.

If on the main battlefield, as long as they could defeat the Black Demon Dragon together, the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus would be within easy reach.

In conclusion, they planned to go to the Black Demon Dragon’s territory first and then adjust according to the actual situation.

Lin Tianming didn’t plan to oppose this arrangement.

After all, in his view, whatever plan the Dragon Turtle devised, their battle with the Black Demon Dragon was unavoidable.

Given his usual conduct, he also couldn’t fully trust the Dragon Turtle’s intentions.

He knew well that, as a Fourth Order demonic beast native to the Ancient Demon Secret Realm, the Dragon Turtle might have some hidden agenda behind its actions.

As outsiders, how could they let themselves be manipulated?

Of course, if the Dragon Turtle decided to play it smart, that would be for the best.

If the Dragon Turtle indeed acted with betrayal, then they wouldn’t need to be courteous with it.

This point, Lin Tianming understood deeply, and he was prepared for any eventuality.

With this mindset, Lin Tianming secretly communicated with Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi, advising them to be cautious at all times and also be ready to face any crisis.

Thus, with both parties harboring different mentalities, the Dragon Turtle personally led the way, leaving the River Valley.

After three days of travel, the Dragon Turtle led Lin Tianming and the others to a pitch-black forested area.

They stopped on a bare hilltop, all gazing in a certain direction in the distance while also searching around.

Following Lin Tianming’s gaze, all that could be seen was dark forests, dark mountains, and gorges.

In such eerie terrain, even the sky seemed exceptionally gloomy, as if shrouded by something invisible.

Regarding such an area, Lin Tianming recalled information from the map.

In his memory, this area was clearly not on the map.

According to this, it was evident that this might be a place untouched by anyone.

At least, the Yulan Sect people most likely had not set foot here.

Or perhaps the Yulan Sect had been here but didn’t include this place in the map information.

Such was likely done to hide this place and everything within this area.

Yet the more so, the more it indicated this place was special.

This was something Lin Tianming had confirmed in several unknown areas over the past six months.

And now, revisiting an unknown place, Lin Tianming felt even more curious.

Thus, he didn’t forget to ask the Dragon Turtle about the specific name of this place.

Regarding Lin Tianming’s question, the Dragon Turtle did not hide anything.

According to the Dragon Turtle, this place was where the Black Demon Dragon’s territory lay, known as the Black Dragon Lair, a renowned name in the Ancient Demon Secret Realm.

Regarding the Fourth Order Black Demon Dragon, it had been occupying this place for nearly ten thousand years.

It was precisely because of the Black Demon Dragon’s presence that the name Black Dragon Lair became so prominent.

In contrast, several thousand years ago, it was an obscure location, and the beasts occupying this place weren’t strong.

However, this situation changed entirely with the appearance of the Black Demon Dragon.

The origin of the Black Dragon Lair’s name also stemmed from the Black Demon Dragon’s presence, resulting in a completely new name.
