Chapter 993: Chapter 994: The Flowing Gold Clan Appears

From the beginning until now, they have been hunting Soul Beasts while Lin Qian searches for the Spirit Wood and Spiritual Medicine he desires.

At most, they occasionally stumble upon some, but now Lin Qian has actively sought them out.

Initially, they had agreed to only gather together once they were ready to leave the garden and head into the relics.

They had a century to explore the relics, and even spending twenty years hunting Soul Beasts in the garden felt insufficient to them.

Moreover, the garden was quite large, and following the golden-haired one to search for valuable items, even three years didn’t seem enough.

The sudden approach suggests something must have happened.

“Did you collect the body of the Frost Lion?” Lin Qian’s first question upon seeing Wei Changming and the others was this.

Seeing Lin Qian’s query, Wei Changming nodded: “That’s correct, we collected it. Perhaps Brother Lin needs it? Feel free to tell us if so, and we will…”

“No, I just wanted to confirm it was you who collected it. These two beasts were killed by Zhao Long twelve days ago.” As he said this, Lin Qian’s expression turned notably serious. “Someone has arrived in the garden, seemingly from the Flowing Gold Clan.”

“The Flowing Gold Clan?” At Lin Qian’s words, the crowd’s expressions changed drastically, evidently not having anticipated this.

The Flowing Gold Clan is one of the six Overlord forces within the South Dou Thirty-Six Realms, known for being extremely formidable and troublesome in combat.

If possible, they would rather not engage with people from the Flowing Gold Clan so soon.

The spiritual medicine they had consumed hadn’t fully refined yet, their boundary breakthrough was recent, and their strength could still further progress, grinding themselves and solidifying their realm through Soul Beast hunting.

The disciples of the Wei family also have their dignity.

Lin Qian and Zhao Long are undeniably strong, but they, too, want to contribute and not merely follow the duo.

“Are we to leave the garden early?” Hearing this news, Wei Guichang was somewhat unwilling.

However, he also knew that engaging with people from the Flowing Gold Clan now was unwise.

The opponents were far more troublesome and vexing than the disciples of Ming Chun Hall.

Their bodies, if like pure metal constructs, didn’t bother them.

The Flowing Gold Clan had no skeleton; their bodies could change freely.

Even during attacks, they could simply wriggle to open a gap to evade.

Then, they would re-fuse, binding your Soul Device, trapping you from escape, followed by a counterattack.

Their body structures made their defense remarkable, almost impervious to significant damage.

Furthermore, unlike the Human Clan, the Flowing Gold Clan doesn’t require breathing or absorbing nature’s spiritual energy to survive.

Their Dantian can move freely within their bodies, making vital points very hard to target.

Few would choose to face such foes.

Wei Changming and the others now understood why Lin Qian asked about the Frost Lion if they collected it.

If they did, it indicated the Flowing Gold Clan did not take it. Hence, they hadn’t been around this area.

“What should we do now?” Wei Xinyu, at a loss, asked. For a side family member like her, any Overlord-level force disciples are daunting.

After all, other Overlord-level forces don’t rely on a sole individual like Wei Ziliang in the Wei family.

“No rush. Wait and see. Let’s observe what the Flowing Gold Clan is up to.” Lin Qian raised his hand, signaling everyone not to worry.

Then, a golden hue began to appear in Lin Qian’s pupils, and images emerged on a framework only he could see.

These were the Reconnaissance Beasts he had set out three years ago, roaming freely in the garden. Many were eaten by Soul Beasts, but some survived.

A Reconnaissance Beast detected the Flowing Gold Clan’s trace, but was devoured by a Soul Beast right after discovering them.

Later, Reconnaissance Beasts near the medicine garden noticed signs of the Flowing Gold Clan.

There were no Soul Beasts near the medicine garden, perhaps due to the Array that intimidates Soul Beasts.

Through the Reconnaissance Beast’s vision, Lin Qian saw clearly three members of the Flowing Gold Clan heading towards the medicine garden.

The Flowing Gold Clan’s bodies resembled liquid metal, radiating a cold luster, yet the hues varied among them.

It’s easy to comprehend; a Flowing Gold Clan’s body color corresponds to their Soul Energy attribute.

For instance, the one leading the three members was pale purple, suggesting their Soul Energy is likely Thunder.

The other two of the Flowing Gold Clan had noticeably pale blue hues, a probable Water Attribute.

However, the appearance of the Flowing Gold Clan maintained a form somewhat akin to the Human Clan.

A consensus in the vast universe is that the Human Clan’s physique offers distinct advantages in cultivation.

Even maintaining or approximating a human form, Soul Energy circulation is more fluid, enhancing power and might.

Despite being among the latest emerging races, the Human Clan has become one of the top groups in the universe, naturally holding reasoning.

Thus, the Flowing Gold Clan keeping their form human-like is nothing concerning.

The Flowing Gold Clan wouldn’t feel ashamed or disgraced by maintaining a form close to Humans.

At least, to many races, what strengthens them and benefits their group is reason enough.

Concepts like dignity, shame, or face, what are those if they don’t boost strength?

If not, why bother holding on to them?

Indeed, some races hold their dignity above all, refusing to alter their form to resemble Humans in any way.

“No way! Impossible!” Suddenly, as the three of the Flowing Gold Clan entered the medicine garden, angry roars emerged, and frightening auras, carrying Soul Energy, radiated outward.

The Reconnaissance Beast observing fell immediately, crushed into a mass of pulp.

Lin Qian, some distance from the medicine garden, watched helplessly as the screen before him turned blurry.

“The flaw of Reconnaissance Beasts is fragility.” At this, Lin Qian also shook his head. “It seems the Flowing Gold Clan has discovered something, otherwise, they wouldn’t revisit the medicine garden specifically.”
