Behind him, Lin Chen, Lin Ke'er, and the others quickly followed.
Lin Yi waved to Lin Zhentian and the others, then gently patted the tiger's back. Xiao Yan let out a low roar, transformed into a fiery red shadow, and burst out with a gust of bloody wind.
……
The Tianyan Mountains are located at the junction of Yan City and two nearby cities. This mountain range is extremely vast, spanning almost half of Tiandu County.
The Tianyan Mountains are a vast region, home to countless ferocious monsters. It is said that if one ventures too deep, even a powerful expert who has reached the third realm of creation might find it difficult to escape if they are not careful.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, apart from some adventure teams that specialize in hunting monsters, few people would venture deep into the Tianyan Mountains.
However, after news of the ancient tomb spread, the Tianyan Mountain Range, which had been quite peaceful, became a tourist hotspot in less than half a month, with people frequently seen moving around in the mountains.
After leaving Tiemu Village, Lin Yi and his group traveled non-stop towards the Tianyan Mountains, encountering many people from other cities along the way.
On the first day, they had just entered the Tianyan Mountains and had a smooth journey without encountering any major setbacks.
The next day, as night gradually enveloped the earth, at Mr. Tao's instruction, the group stopped and found a relatively flat place to set up camp and rest.
Nighttime is when monsters roam freely, and it is not a suitable time to continue traveling.
After a brief conversation with Mr. Tao and the others, Lin Yi returned to his own tent.
In such a dangerous place, sleeping is obviously not a good option.
Moreover, Lin Yi discovered that meditation could also cultivate one's spirit, so he chose to sit cross-legged to cultivate his spiritual power.
As night deepened, the pale moonlight poured down from the sky, draping the mountain range in a thin silver veil, and from time to time, the deep roars of beasts could be heard.
While Lin Yi was meditating, his spiritual power suddenly sensed that a fierce battle was taking place several hundred meters in front of their camp.
Lin Yi's mind stirred slightly, and he mobilized his mental energy to sense the movements ahead more carefully.
Soon, his mental power acted like an invisible eye, "seeing" the intense battle and spotting a familiar figure on one side.
"Huh? It's Xuan Su and Xia Wanjin from the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce. Why did they run ahead..."
Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes, his eyebrows twitching slightly. In the original story, the Wan Jin Merchant Guild's forces were ambushed and killed, seemingly behind their camp.
“That’s right, this time we started from Qingyang Town, so it will naturally take longer,” Lin Yi quickly figured out what was going on.
After a moment's thought, Lin Yi reached out and patted Xiao Yan's head. Then, the two of them silently left the tent, transforming into two shadows and rushing forward as fast as lightning.
……
In the mountain valley, a bonfire roared.
At this moment, in this small mountain valley, hundreds of figures were engaged in a chaotic battle, with the sounds of fighting and the clashing of swords rising and falling.
A strong, pungent smell of blood spread out, extremely offensive in the darkness.
"Song Dao, my Wan Jin Merchant Guild has no grudge against your Dao Tu Gang. Why are you helping the Blood Wolf Gang to make things difficult for us?"
Xia Wanjin's face was gloomy. He struck a Blood Wolf Gang member who had charged forward at the risk of his life with a palm, causing him to cough up blood and stagger backward. Then, his sharp gaze turned to a burly man in the midst of the fighting.
This man is none other than Song Dao, the leader of the Dao Tu Gang!
"If you take someone's money, you should do their bidding. Does Chairman Xia not even understand this basic principle?"
Upon hearing Xia Wanjin's words, Song Dao couldn't help but smile. He flicked his wrist and unleashed a blade of light, leaving two streaks of blood. He licked the blood off his face and laughed.
"The Blood Wolf Gang will give you double the price, and my Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce will give you double!" Xia Wan Jin said in a deep voice.
"Haha, Xia Wanjin, the price I offered Song Dao Gang Leader is to destroy your Wanjin Chamber of Commerce and then give half of its resources to Dao Tu Gang. Can you afford this price?"
Upon hearing Xia Wanjin's words, Yue Shan burst into wild laughter.
"You want to devour my Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce? You'll be stuffed to death!" Xia Wan Jin said coldly, his face grim.
"You don't need to worry about that, just kill them!" Yue Shan grinned ferociously, and with a wave of his hand, the numerous Blood Wolf Gang members charged out like tigers and wolves, their eyes red, and went on a rampage against the Wan Jin Merchant Guild's forces.
With the Blood Wolf Gang and the Knife Slaughter Gang launching a full-scale attack, the pressure on the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce increased dramatically. People were dying under the enemy's blades from time to time, resulting in heavy losses.
"Xuansu, you protect Zhilan and escape, I'll cover you!"
Looking at the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce members who had suffered heavy casualties, Xia Wan Jin's eyes also turned red.
Behind her, Xuan Su's pretty face changed slightly, her eyes filled with struggle. If she ran away now, Xia Wanjin would probably not escape death.
"Go! If you fall into their hands, it will be worse than death!" Xia Wanjin shouted angrily when he saw Xuan Su hesitate.
Xuan Su bit her red lips tightly, nodded suddenly, grabbed Xia Zhilan with her other hand, and then tried to break through the encirclement at all costs.
"Trying to leave? Haha, Steward Su, the brothers of my Knife Slaughter Gang have long admired your beauty. How could we let such a beauty like you get away?"
Seeing that Xuan Su was preparing to retreat, Song Dao, who had been waiting for his chance, laughed loudly and waved his hand, saying, "Brothers of the Dao Tu Gang, seize her!"
"Ha ha!"
Upon hearing Song Dao's laughter, the members of the Dao Tu Gang's men's eyes turned bloodshot. They roared like wild beasts and instantly turned around, rushing towards Xuan Su and her companion like a tidal wave.
Looking at the approaching forces of the Knife Slaughter Gang, both Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan couldn't help but reveal a hint of despair in their eyes.
"Shhhhhh!"
Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the night sky.
"Ah ah ah..."
Immediately afterwards, a series of screams rang out, and the members of the Knife Slaughter Gang who rushed towards Xuan Su and her companion fell to the ground one after another, either dead or injured!
"Who goes there? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Daotu Gang?"
Song Dao's expression also changed slightly, and he shouted sharply.
"Roar!"
As Song Dao finished speaking, a deep roar suddenly echoed through the forest.
Immediately, a fiery red shadow streaked into the arena with lightning speed, and many members of the Knife Slaughter Gang were killed on the spot in its wake!
Song Dao, the members of the Dao Tu Gang, and the two rescued women, Xuan Su and her companion, all turned their gazes toward the fiery red giant tiger.
On the tiger's back sat a handsome young man, his figure as straight as a spear!

"Lin Yi!"
When Xuan Su saw the figure on the tiger's back, her beautiful eyes immediately lit up with surprise.
However, this look of surprise immediately vanished when she discovered that Lin Yi was alone, leaving her feeling even colder and more anxious.
Lin Yi alone is unlikely to change the current situation, and may even put him in a life-or-death crisis!
After all, Song Dao was a Great Perfection Realm expert comparable to Yue Shan!
"Boy, who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Dao Tu Gang?" Song Dao stared at Lin Yi with a cold gaze and said in a cold voice.
"Chief Song Dao, that kid is also with the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce, kill him!" The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of Yue Shan, who was fighting with Xia Wan Jin.
When Yue Shan spotted Lin Yi, his killing intent surged, and he shouted angrily.
Song Dao nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Yi, "Boy, if you dare to interfere in the affairs of my Dao Tu Gang, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"boom!"
As Song Dao's chilling voice fell, an extremely powerful surge of Yuan energy suddenly erupted from his body. The white Yuan energy, like a large ball of white flame, completely surrounded his body, and a strong sense of oppression spread out as well.
With surging Yuan energy, Song Dao stomped his foot on the ground, his figure transforming into a blurry silhouette. In a flash, he appeared before Lin Yi, changing his palm strike into a slash. Sharp pure Yuan Qi rapidly formed, tearing through the air and viciously slashing towards Lin Yi's throat.
"Lin Yi, take Zhilan and leave quickly!"
Seeing this, Xuan Su's expression changed and she said urgently.
She was unaware that Lin Yi had already broken through to the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan realm, and worried that with Lin Yi's strength, he might be in mortal danger if he fought Song Dao.
"rest assured."
Lin Yi replied to Xuan Su, then jumped off Xiao Yan's back. Dark golden Yuan Power surged out from his body. He bent two fingers together, and pure Yuan Qi rapidly condensed at his fingertips. In the end, it turned into a solid cone and struck Song Dao's palm wind with lightning speed.
"Oh!"
As their fingers touched, a fierce ripple of Yuan energy suddenly swept outwards, and the withered leaves on the ground were directly shaken into a pile of dust.
Lin Yi's body was shaken back five or six steps by the force of the recoil.
At the same time, Song Dao, on the other side, also retreated six or seven steps before regaining his footing.
As he retreated, Lin Yi's hands rapidly formed a series of hand seals. As the seals changed, dark golden Yuan energy surged from Lin Yi's body like a tide, finally condensing rapidly in his palms.
Qimen Seal, Fourth Layer!
When Lin Yi finished his final hand seal, the dark golden Yuan energy had already rapidly condensed in his hand into a dark golden light seal several meters in size.
"call out!"
As soon as the dark golden light seal took shape, Lin Yi's arm trembled, and the light seal flew out of his hand, leaving a dazzling dark golden tail as it slammed towards Song Dao.
"You're also at the Great Perfection stage? How is that possible?!"
Sensing the terrifying aura contained within the light imprint, Song Dao's pupils constricted slightly, and he exclaimed in shock.
"Five Tigers Severing Palm Blade!"
Although shocked, Song Dao couldn't care less at this moment. He frantically mobilized the Yuan energy in his body and concentrated it on his right palm. Faintly, a blade shape appeared, and tiger stripes seemed to appear on that blade shape.
"Go to hell!"
As the blade materialized, Song Dao's ferocity intensified. He took a step forward and slammed his right palm down fiercely at the dark golden light imprint that was hurtling towards him!
"boom!"
The blade shadow, formed from powerful Yuan energy, slashed heavily at the dark golden light imprint.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely violent surge of Yuan energy swept out like a storm, even causing cracks to appear on the ground.
"Oh!"
With a loud bang, to Song Dao's incredulous gaze, the sword shadow he unleashed was actually shattered by the dark golden light seal, and the violent Yuan energy spilled out in all directions.
The dark golden light imprint continued its relentless advance, striking his chest once more!
Just as Song Dao was about to mobilize his Yuan Power to defend against the dark golden light seal, he suddenly felt a momentary daze, and the flow of Yuan Power within his body also paused for a moment.
"boom!"
