Lin Dong set out together with the people from the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce.
The Dan Immortal Pool was located deep within the mountains east of Flame City.
It was said that the eastern forest was home to countless beasts, many of which had reached the Yuan Dan Stage...some even beyond.
Even the major powers of Flame City dared not venture too deep into that wild domain.
The Dan Immortal Pool, however, was a precious treasure ground that the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce and the Blood Wolf Gang had jointly secured.
The two factions had worked together to drive away the surrounding beasts and fortify the area.
Without their cooperation, no ordinary force could have protected such a place, for the dense energy of heaven and earth naturally drew spirit beasts to it like moths to flame.
Lin Xuan, meanwhile, had other intentions.
He wanted the Tiger Eagle and the others to return to the forest to train and temper themselves....but he also wished to visit the Dan Immortal Pool personally.
Of course, part of the reason was to secretly protect his younger brother, Oudi.
After all, they had annihilated the Blood Robe Sect not long ago.
The Blood Wolf Gang surely knew by now, and had likely already connected Lin Dong's group to the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce.
The fact that they hadn't retaliated yet probably meant they were waiting for the right moment.
Lin Xuan couldn't risk being careless.
As soon as they entered the forest, Lin Xuan released the Tiger Eagle and the other beasts, letting them move freely.
Through his spiritual perception, he could track them easily within a wide radius.
His control over spiritual power had already reached a level close to perfection...subtle and refined, surpassing even that of Yan Xuan.
Thus, even as a Two-Seal Symbol Master, he had no fear of being detected by the two rival groups.
Furthermore, with his Insight Eyes, he could observe everything from afar without being noticed.
Before long, his sharp gaze caught the sight of the Wan Jin Chamber's caravan....Lin Dong, Xuan Su, Xia Zhilan, and the others....moving toward a distant mountain.
Lin Xuan followed them silently through the dense forest.
When he reached the summit, his spiritual sense swept across the mountain top and immediately detected two opposing forces locked in a tense standoff.
Clearly, both the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce and the Blood Wolf Gang had stationed their people there in advance.
"That's the Dan Immortal Pool?"
At the edge of the cliff, a towering stone wall rose like a blade toward the heavens.
Beneath it, a small crystalline pool, barely a few meters wide, shimmered with strange light.
Half the pool was boiling hot, bubbling and steaming as if lava ran beneath it; the other half glimmered with a thin frost, releasing a bone-chilling mist.
Two utterly opposite elements....fire and ice—coexisted within the same pool, perfectly divided, yet never merging.
When Xuan Su's group arrived at the summit...
"Chief Xuan Su, you sure took your time!"
A deep voice boomed from the front of the Blood Wolf Gang's formation.
A burly man stood there, his bare torso covered with a ferocious blood-wolf tattoo that rippled as his muscles flexed.
"Lin Dong," Xia Zhilan whispered beside him, "that's the Blood Wolf Gang's leader.....Yue Shan, also known as the 'Mountain-Breaking Hand.
He's a peak Yuan Dan Realm expert, just like my father. In Flame City, few can match him. Be careful."
After several days of training and sparring, Xia Zhilan had come to understand just how strong Lin Dong truly was.
The once-cold and aloof young lady now looked at him with faint warmth.
Knowing that the Blood Wolf Gang might be targeting the Lin Family, she gave him a quiet warning.
"Got it," Lin Dong nodded calmly.
His gaze swept over Yue Shan.
The man's aura was undeniably powerful, yet somehow.....compared to Lin Xuan...it still felt lacking.
Was it just an illusion? Even a peak Yuan Dan expert didn't give off the same unfathomable depth that Lin Xuan carried.
At that moment, Yue Shan's eyes also landed on Lin Dong.
Though he said nothing, a murderous glint flashed within them.
He already knew Lin Dong came from the Lin Family, the very same that had destroyed the Blood Robe Sect.
The only reason he hadn't struck yet was because of their alliance with the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce.
But that bloodlust was unmistakable.
The oppressive pressure from a Yuan Dan peak expert wasn't something an ordinary person could withstand.
Lin Dong could feel it pressing against his chest....others might have buckled under it instantly.
"Heh, no need to be so impatient, Gang Leader Yue," Xie Wan Jin stepped forward with a calm smile, blocking Lin Dong behind him.
"Enough talk. Let's begin," Yue Shan growled.
At his signal, three figures stepped forward from the Blood Wolf Gang's side—two men and one woman.
From the Wan Jin Chamber's side, three people also advanced.....Lin Dong, Xia Zhilan, and another man.
All six were experts at the late stage of the Tian Yuan Realm.
The first battle began.
Xia Zhilan stepped out to face the Blood Wolf Gang's young lady....Yue Ling, Yue Shan's daughter.
The two heiresses of Flame City met once again, sparks practically flying before they even exchanged blows.
"Heh, Xia Zhilan, don't cry if I mess up that pretty face of yours," Yue Ling taunted, smiling arrogantly.
"Let's see if you can still laugh later," Xia Zhilan replied coldly, confidence blazing in her eyes.
With a flick of her wrist, her long sword flashed from her Qiankun pouch. Yuan Power surged through her body as she lunged forward.
Their strengths were evenly matched...they'd fought before, and neither had ever truly gained the upper hand.
But now… things were different.
