The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1093: Guan Family of Bazhou

”Yanjing Zhu Tian, Tuoba Zhen greets the esteemed master!”

The man walking before Tuoba Yun, with a seven or eight-tenth resemblance to him, led the Tuoba Family and Wang Gu and others, briskly approaching Lin Tian and paying a deep and respectful bow, loudly announcing.

The man was Tuoba Zhen, the current head of the Tuoba Family in the Zhu Tian district of Yanjing.

He was also Tuoba Yun’s father!

As the current head of the Tuoba Family, he was a significant figure in Zhu Tian City, which is subordinate to Yanjing.

The Tuoba Family, in Zhu Tian City, was among the most prestigious families, powerful and with impressive heritage.

Therefore, the current controller of the Tuoba Family, Tuoba Zhen, possessed astounding influence!

Previously.

He learned that people from the Zhong Family of the East Continent had ventured into the Taishan area, piquing his curiosity, leading him to send people to follow and subsequently learning of the ancient land.

The ancient land, with the family hiring cultivators as tributes, Tuoba Zhen had some understanding.

The ancient land signified treasures everywhere, the wealth astounding.

Such a treasure trove, Tuoba Zhen naturally did not want to miss, hence intervened!

Zhu Tian City was not far from the Taishan area, so Tuoba Zhen secretly dispatched experts to bypass other forces to come here, to prepare for plunder.

After all, this was the North Continent, and they were not at all afraid of the Zhong Family forces coming from afar from the East Continent.

As for the Southern Heavenly Sect, Tuoba Zhen was also warned by Wang Gu and others, feeling quite apprehensive.

However, it was also known that the Southern Heavenly Sect had been keeping its mountain gate closed for years, with the entire sect seemingly in seclusion.

Additionally, the Southern Heavenly Sect rarely intervened in worldly affairs.

Thus, generally, even in obvious places like the Nantian Mountain Valley, they might not take notice.

But later on.

Upon learning that the Zhong Family was a cultivation family, with members cultivating within their sect, he was indeed a bit wary.

However, after Wang Gu and others enlisted the Blood Demon Guo Yi, Tuoba Zhen’s confidence surged, and he directly sent Tuoba Yun with people to Jinling City for negotiations.

This was partly to demonstrate the strength of the Tuoba Family and their disdain for the East Continent, and partly to intimidate the Zhong Family.

Unexpectedly, Guo Yi was killed, and Tuoba Yun nearly lost his life in a foreign land.

All because of the young man before them!

”Zhu Tian Tuoba Family?”

Lin Tian turned and scanned Tuoba Zhen and Tuoba Yun and others, nodding slightly, then glanced at the three to five groups of cultivators on the side, and asked in surprise, ”Who are those people?”

”Mr. Lin, they are all loose cultivators from the North Continent, near Taishan, and after the news was leaked, they rushed over!”

Zhong Xinci, looking somewhat disgruntled at this time, approached and explained in a low voice to Lin Tian.

The other people present, whether from the Zhong Family or the Tuoba Family, all looked rather displeased.

The loose cultivators in front of them, neither of the two families feared because of their cultivation tributes, and the Zhong Family, especially with Zhong Xinci present, but they couldn’t afford to offend them directly either.

After all.

At the end of the day, both families were just worldly forces, and even if these were just loose cultivators, they didn’t dare to directly confront them.

They could only watch as these people came.

At least, they couldn’t drive them away.

Meanwhile, members of both the Zhong Family and the Tuoba Family, along with accompanying cultivators like Huang Long, all bowed respectfully to Lin Tian, surprising the surrounding loose cultivators.

In both the Zhong Family and the Tuoba Family groups, many recognized Wang Gu and the Tianya Two Elders, Ling Feihong and Huang Long.

The cultivation of the two was not weak, and they both practiced the Combined Attack Technique, allowing them to usually retreat safely even when confronting Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators.

Now.

Bowing respectfully to this young man before them, the crowd was naturally astonished, all speculating on Lin Tian’s origins.

They all dismissed the possibility of Lin Tian being a high-level cultivator.

At such a young age, could he be in Foundation Establishment Late Stage or even the Golden Core Stage?

No one was willing to believe it!

Yet.

Lin Tian ignored the others and turned his gaze, eventually landing on a cliff under the Nantian Mountain.

”The entrance to the ancient land is on that cliff, right?”

Lin Tian pointed to the cliff and looked at Zhong Xinci and others as he spoke.

Everyone was stunned, glancing at each other.

Lin Tian merely looked up once and identified the entrance to the ancient land; this eye power was indeed amazing!

”Such remarkable eye power, I admire you!”

At this time, Wang Gu, standing behind Tuoba Zhen, stepped forward, respectfully saluted Lin Tian, and sighed, ”That is indeed the entrance to the ancient land, but the entrance was forcibly opened, and it can only remain open for 15 minutes before closing automatically!”

”Oh, a Composite Array Formation!”

Hearing Wang Gu’s words, Lin Tian showed a surprised expression, pondering secretly.

On the side.

Mooo Zishui came forward and whispered to Lin Tian, ”Mr. Lin, it was my master’s family who inadvertently discovered this place while searching for some ancient medicine initially. Striking the base of the cliff with a hoe didn’t break the stone wall’s surface but merely dented it, which then reverted to its original state. Then my master sent me and Brother Cheen Diding here to investigate, and we forcibly attacked that cliff to open the ancient land’s entrance!”

”It seems the second level inside must have some good stuff!

Lin Tian’s eyes brightened as he spoke softly.

The ancient land masked by a self-repairing Composite Array Formation surely wasn’t simple.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian walked over to the cliff.

The others hurriedly followed.

When close, Lin Tian ran his hand over the bare stone wall of the mountain; it felt rough, not much different from any regular stone wall.

But, as he approached, Lin Tian could sense the faint spiritual energy fluctuations inside.

Moreover, that spiritual energy was vast and substantial, carrying an incredibly heavy aura.

Clearly, this array covering the ancient land had been here for an eon’s time.

Just as he intended to strike a blow and test the current strength of the array, Wang Gu, beside him, hurriedly stopped him and said anxiously, ”Master, to avoid unnecessary trouble, please don’t attempt it!”

”Why not?”

Lin Tian paused, looking at him in surprise.

”The array at this entrance is closely linked with that of the second level!”

Wang Gu began to explain, ”In previous trials, we found if this entrance array was forcibly opened over three times a day, the defensive array of the second level increased in strength threefold! It would complicate any attempt to breach it later! Now that the news is out, we fear other families or forces might be coming... facing an array of troubles may be unavoidable!”

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

”Indeed, if other families or forces arrive, we might end up with nothing!

Tuoba Zhen nodded in agreement, responding.

Even if they couldn’t acquire all the treasures inside due to Lin Tian’s presence, gaining anything would still be immensely beneficial – who knows how many treasures were there?

However.

Lin Tian, upon hearing this, his eyes flashed with greater interest, not at all abated by the thought, but with a heightened sense of curiosity.

As for Tuoba Zhen’s comment, it only seemed to increase Lin Tian’s intrigue.

Turning back, he looked at Tuoba Zhen and others, inquiring, ”What are your plans then?”

”I am but a loose cultivator,” Wang Gu confessed as he stepped forward, ”but I know a few people, so I have previously invited someone who is quite skilled in the Composite Array Formation. He stands a good chance of breaking it! At least it provides us a chance to enter the second level!”

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

”Ah, if other families or forces reach here, we probably won’t be able to get anything to ourselves!”

Just then, a loud voice pierced the air: ”Haha, Tuoba, you really are cunning! If I, Guan Ying, hadn’t heard the news of your ancient land discovery right away, you would have taken it all for yourself!”

Tuoba Zhen’s expression suddenly changed, and he turned quickly towards the voice, his face immediately becoming very displeased, ”It’s Guan Ying!”

With those words, Tuoba Zhen’s expression turned intensely sour.

”””
