Chapter 1752: Chapter 1744: Ye Tianzhe of Weishan Lake

For Lin Tian, killing a third-level Black Bamboo Python couldn’t be any easier!

It was kind of like kicking the magpie out and taking over its nest!

Because this was deep mountains and wilderness.

There was no signal for the mobile phone here.

For the moment Lin Tian had no way to use navigation to see where exactly he was.

However.

He was pretty sure he’d already stepped into the territory of the Eastern Mountain Land.

Heading east, he should be able to reach Jiao Zhou or Mizhou City.

It was just that he’d promised Bu Xuan earlier, so he still decided to rest here and catch a ride in the morning.

But he still didn’t get any peace.

The footsteps outside made Lin Tian frown deeply.

Judging from the sound, there should be two people, and they sounded a bit flustered.

"Master, those ugly things have been chasing us for a whole day and night! We just can’t shake them off!"

A somewhat panicked female voice came in from outside.

"We just dove under and crossed the river. Those Feeding Demon Dogs shouldn’t be able to track our scent anymore!"

The reply was an old voice, his breathing a bit rushed. "There’s a gorge here. We’ll rest up for a bit, and when it’s light we’ll hurry back to Weishan Lake! Traveling at night is too dangerous—if those things catch up again, it’ll be impossible to shake them off!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The two were already walking inside.

Lin Tian looked up; what entered his sight was an old one and a young one.

The old one was wearing a filthy, torn long robe, hair disheveled, with quite a few wounds on his body.

The woman was about twenty-four or twenty-five, dressed in tight martial arts uniform that was also tattered, with flashes of skin showing.

A Peak Transformation Realm Martial Venerate!

An Earth-level Early Stage cultivation!

Lin Tian’s Divine Sense swept over the two, making a silent assessment; he was slightly surprised in his heart.

An old one and a young one, and both were Martial Artists!

And the old man was very strong, at Peak Martial Venerate—he could already fight a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

After they came in, they glanced once at the gorge entrance behind them. Only after confirming there was no danger following did they both let out a breath of relief.

It was pitch-dark in here; they hadn’t noticed Lin Tian at all. The two held their lighting gear and were getting ready to make a fire.

"Ah... who are you!"

The woman went to look for some dry firewood and discovered there was already someone in the gorge—a young man, quietly sitting there, his gaze turned toward them. She was so startled she cried out.

The old man’s expression changed. He hurried forward, blocking in front of the woman, his face wary and gloomy. "Kid, why are you here alone?"

He scrutinized Lin Tian for a while and couldn’t sense a hint of aura on him.

And immediately relaxed.

In his eyes, Lin Tian should just be an ordinary person.

"I got lost."

Lin Tian curled his lip, didn’t bother to explain, and just said casually.

Then he pointed at the gorge entrance and said, "I was here first. You can only stay by the entrance."

Although neither the old man nor the woman posed any threat to him, Lin Tian didn’t like interacting with strangers.

Even the slightest bit of danger, he preferred not to let it exist.

The only reason he was letting them stay at all was because they looked so wretched; he couldn’t be bothered to waste words kicking them out.

But.

After hearing that, the woman rolled her eyes.

The kid in front of her looked a few years younger than her, yet he was putting on this old-fashioned attitude.

Especially since... standing here right now was her master, and this brat actually told her master and her to go stay at the entrance.

That was downright outrageous!

She had to know.

Her master was none other than Mr. Zhe Mei of Weishan Lake, Ye Tianzhe!

A Martial Venerate expert!

In all the East Mountain Province region, who didn’t show him respect?

Although the two of them looked a bit bedraggled at the moment, their status was right there!

Having just been hunted down and fleeing here in such a sorry state, Ying Zimei was already feeling incredibly wronged inside, both scared and angry, her belly full of pent-up fire.

Now.

Seeing Lin Tian looking so indifferent, her anger instantly surged.

"What kind of attitude is that? This isn’t your turf, so why should we have to go to the entrance..."

Ying Zimei put her hands on her hips and snapped at Lin Tian.

Why?

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, a trace of coldness in his eyes.

The fact that he hadn’t thrown them out was already him being generous, and she still wasn’t satisfied.

However.

Before Lin Tian could speak, the old man hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the woman back.

"Zimei, what has Master always taught you? When dealing with others, don’t be too overbearing!"

The old man lightly chided her, then turned to Lin Tian and said with a hearty smile, "Little brother, this old man is from Weishan Lake, Ye Tianzhe! This is my Disciple, Ying Zimei! Her words were a bit harsh; please don’t take offense. You did come first, and what you said wasn’t wrong. We master and disciple will stay by the entrance and not disturb you."

The old man Ye Tianzhe’s words did make Lin Tian’s expression ease a little.

The other party was a Martial Venerate Realm expert after all.

His inner pride went without saying; for someone like that to lower himself and speak like this was something very few people could do!

"It’s fine."

Lin Tian glanced at Ye Tianzhe, gave a slight nod, and withdrew his gaze.

He took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it for a bit, but still couldn’t get a signal.

Lin Tian wanted to see exactly where he was now so that at daybreak he could find his way out and go directly to Chuanshan County to catch a ride.

"Little brother, you’re really lost? There’s no signal here."

Noticing Lin Tian’s actions, Ye Tianzhe turned back and asked in surprise.

"You could say I’m lost."

Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Strictly speaking, he wasn’t really lost; worst case, he could just retrace his path.

He simply didn’t know where this place was, or in which direction Chuanshan County lay, and he didn’t want to waste too much time.

He just wanted to head straight for Chuanshan County. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Where are you going, little brother? When it’s light, just say the word and this old man can point you the way! My Weishan Lake isn’t far from here; I’m familiar with the surroundings."

Ye Tianzhe hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Or, if you’re not in a hurry, you can travel with this old man at daybreak. We’ll head to Weishan Lake first, and you can transfer to another ride from there."

"Hmph! Aren’t you going to thank my master? Only my master has such a kind heart—seeing you here alone in this wilderness, he actually wants to help you! When you find out what kind of existence Mr. Zhe Mei of Weishan Lake is in the future, you’ll know what respect means!"

Ying Zimei rolled her eyes at Lin Tian in displeasure. "This is Swallowing Tiger Ridge; there are fierce beasts everywhere. I’m just afraid if you go out alone, you’ll get eaten right away!"

Eaten?

I’d say it’s pretty good of me not to eat them.

Lin Tian couldn’t be bothered to respond to the woman. Instead, he smiled and nodded to Ye Tianzhe. "Then thank you."

"Haha..."

Ye Tianzhe chuckled softly, then frowned and shook his head at Ying Zimei, leading her toward the gorge entrance.

"Hmph, at least you’ve got a bit of manners."

Ying Zimei glared back at Lin Tian, then finally followed Ye Tianzhe over.

Ignorant.

Lin Tian shook his head and didn’t take it to heart.

Since Ye Tianzhe and his Disciple wanted to stay, Lin Tian wasn’t so domineering as to drive them off.

And having them point the way when it got light out wouldn’t be a bad thing.

"Roar..."

But suddenly, just as Ye Tianzhe and Ying Zimei had barely gotten the fire going, a strange beastly roar sounded from far outside the gorge.

Their expressions changed drastically, and they both shot to their feet.
