Chapter 1445: Chapter 1465: Mediation? You’re worthy of that?_1

The disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines were in strict formation, their faces showing signs of worry and tension.

They knew very well that if they couldn’t resolve today’s trouble, the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines would be trampled flat, and their fate would undoubtedly be dire.

Shi Longjun kept a calm expression, yet a sense of urgency flickered in his eyes.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines was founded by his master Yan Xingwen, who had accepted many disciples. Several of these disciples had already reached the True Immortal Realm, but only Master Yan was in the Golden Immortal Realm.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines was a personal power, much like East China’s Tongtian Cave. Both were established by individuals. The organization was not very old, and its members had not yet fully matured. The genuine powerhouse was the founder himself.

There were many personal powers in the Immortal Realm. Most of them were created by successful loose cultivators. There were thousands of loose cultivators, and who wouldn’t want to establish a power of their own?

With Yan Xingwen’s fall, the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines became a dragon without a head.

Yan Xingwen certainly had some good friends, but the adversaries didn’t even give them a chance to call for help. What’s more, the Qingliu Sect only gave them ten days. Ten days simply weren’t enough for a round trip rescue effort.

Subconsciously, Shi Longjun glanced at Lin Chen standing nearby. Whether the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines could survive this crisis today depended entirely on Lin Chen.

If he had been a regular disciple of the White Crane Immortal Sect, Shi Longjun naturally wouldn’t have pinned his hopes on him. But, Lin Chen was a disciple of Su Shaoling, and now he was the sect leader of Tianjian Peak in the White Crane Immortal Sect, the junior martial uncle of the sect master!

Shi Longjun didn’t dare to rely completely on Lin Chen to solve the problem. He just hoped that Lin Chen could stand up to the adversaries, make them abandon their intention of annihilating the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines, and at least take a step back and make some compensations. After all, their primary goal should be getting through today’s crisis.

The young-looking Zi Yun Fairy had been silent all along and had not revealed her identity. Shi Longjun didn’t think much about it. After all, he needed her influence, not her strength. He didn’t believe that Lin Chen and Zi Yun could stop Lu Ze’an with their power alone.

Golden lights flickered. Lu Ze’an, dressed in a floating green robe, appeared in midair. Behind him, there were four individuals, all wearing expressions of cold arrogance.

The five of them landed opposite the disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines. The middle-aged man standing next to Lu Ze’an spoke coldly to Shi Longjun, "The ten-day deadline has passed. Have you made your decision? Will you compensate, or will we wipe out your valley?"

Shi Longjun exhaled a deep breath, "Zhao Tiankai, your Qingliu Sect is being overly domineering!"

Zhao Tiankai swept his gaze over Lin Chen standing nearby. His eyes lingered momentarily on the White Crane emblem on Lin Chen’s chest, and a cold smirk spread across his face.

"The White Crane Immortal Sect? Shi Longjun, are these your reinforcements? Is this your confidence for today?"

Lin Chen laughed lightly and introduced himself with a bow, "White Crane Immortal Sect, Lin Chen."

The expression on Zhao Tiankai’s face changed instantly. Not only him, but the eyes of Lu Ze’an and the others also fell on Lin Chen, a sudden hostility surfacing in their eyes.

"Are you Su Shaoling’s disciple, Lin Chen?"

Lin Chen replied with a slight smile, "Indeed, that would be me."

Zhao Tiankai’s face instantly sank, "You have quite the audacity. We haven’t even settled our business in the Muyue Illusion Realm yet, and you dare to meddle here..."

Lin Chen laughed, "Just a coincidence. I came to the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines to buy some immortal medicine and happened to run into this."

Zhao Tiankai glanced at the Zi Yun Fairy standing next to Lin Chen and said coldly, "So, you intend to protect the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines?"

Lin Chen nodded with a composed smile, "If you annihilate the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines, where will I buy my immortal medicine? How about I act as a mediator? Let’s all take a step back and settle the issue peacefully."

An angry middle-aged woman standing next to Zhao Tiankai looked furiously at Lin Chen, "Just based on you, an Early Stage Human Immortal, what qualifications do you have to mediate? Are you even worthy?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Shouldn’t mediation be based on reason? What, does it also have to rely on who has the bigger fist?"

The woman shouted, "Stay out of this! If you stand with the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines, then we will settle our new and old scores together. Don’t think we won’t dare to kill you just because you’re Su Shaoling’s disciple!"

Lin Chen laughed, "Kill me? Fine. Come on, try to kill me. Let’s see who drops dead first."

Lu Ze’an furrowed his brows. They knew about Lin Chen’s feat of killing the Peak-True Immortal Wu Ying of the Haotian Sect with a single slash. Seeing Lin Chen’s confidence and dominance, they began to feel uncertain.

All the disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines standing nearby opened their eyes wide, their eyes filled with admiration and worship.

The disciple of an extraordinary powerhouse sure was arrogant!

Even though their actual strength was nothing much, their bravado was sky-high!

Lu Ze’an’s gaze fell on Shi Longjun, "Shi Longjun, it seems you refuse to compensate and have decided to put your hope in the White Crane Immortal Sect?"

Shi Longjun gritted his teeth and answered, "I am willing to make some compensation, but we simply cannot afford the list of reparations that you have put forth!"

By saying this, Shi Longjun indirectly admitted defeat and agreed to compensate, as long as the adversary didn’t demand too much, the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines was willing to pay.

Lu Ze’an replied coldly, "We’ve done the math. You can afford these compensations!"

Shi Longjun, enraged, retorted, "Your demands would undermine the foundations of the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines. If we give you everything, we would be left with nothing, and we can’t possibly develop further."

Lu Ze’an replied coldly, "At least, you’ll still be alive."

Lin Chen lazily added from the side, "Lu Ze’an, right? I also want the Green Lotus Fire Spring, so I can’t give it to you..."
