Chapter 994: Chapter 995: Turning Point
“Who did it, who exactly did it?” An angry roar echoed throughout the entire medicinal garden.
Within the angry roar, there was a power of thunderbolt, shaking the surroundings, which directly killed Lin Qian’s reconnaissance beast.
In the medicinal garden, two other Flowing Gold Clan members of light blue hue also looked around silently, not knowing what to say.
In the center of the two, the Flowing Gold Clan member with the purple hue had ripples all over their body, like water rippling in a lake.
It looked very soft, but the metallic sheen on his body clearly reflected how solid his physique was.
In the impressions of these three Flowing Gold Clan members, the medicinal garden itself was a huge treasure, even though the treasure could be seen but not touched.
But now, things were different!
Liu Maoyu was trembling uncontrollably, and the flowing metallic body had purple thunder faintly rising, crackling, with a muffled sound like the sky’s fury.
At this moment, in his flowing palm, he was tightly clutching a decayed token, even though this wooden token was somewhat broken, the array light on it had not faded.
Just from this, it could be seen that the token was still usable.
“Back when Father participated in the Heroes Gathering, he once saw an ancient record inside the ruins stating that this medicinal garden was specially managed by someone, the servant of the mansion’s owner.”
“This servant had an array token, capable of fully controlling the arrays of the medicinal garden.”
Saying this, the Thunder Soul Energy from Liu Maoyu’s body rushed into the token in his hand.
In an instant, the array within the entire medicinal garden suddenly scattered, appearing in an extremely unstable state.
Before long, the array within the medicinal garden had completely collapsed, dissipating entirely.
In the medicinal garden, those fields that originally grew precious spiritual medicine, even Dao Grade spiritual medicine, were easily exposed before him.
“So that’s why big brother gave up such a large fortune, just for this token, it was because of this!” One of the Flowing Gold Clan members by his side suddenly realized, but his tone was very angry.
When their Flowing Gold Clan entered the ruins, they acted separately. He and his brother, after discovering a mansion with weakened arrays, immediately called other clan members, broke through the array together, defeated the mansion’s puppets, and divided the spoils.
At that time, big brother Liu Maoyu did not want those Dao Grade cultivation techniques, nor those Dao Grade soul devices, he gave up Dao Grade pills, and solely took this decayed token.
Subsequently, Liu Maoyu intentionally used this token to open the mansion’s treasury, which turned out to be empty, causing the other clan members to laugh at him for a long time.
At that time, Liu Maoyu did not retaliate because he saw that this was the token that could activate the medicinal garden’s arrays.
If he obtained this token, entered the medicinal garden, activated the array, and acquired the precious spiritual medicine planted within, the harvest would surely be much better than any Dao Grade spiritual medicine or cultivation techniques.
But what did he see when he arrived at the medicinal garden?
A barren land!
Originally, all the spiritual medicine in the medicinal garden were unexpectedly gone, empty, not a single plant left.
Before coming, Liu Maoyu thought that the fellow clan members were now joking about him being a fool, but in the end, he himself was the one laughing.
Now, Liu Maoyu really felt like he had turned into a fool.
“Who on earth snatched it first?” The furious Liu Maoyu, with his flowing metallic palms, wrapped the entire token, and with a burst of power, crushed the already decayed token into dust.
This time, he truly lost both the lady and the army, indeed turning into a fool.
How could Liu Maoyu bear it, the fortune that was almost in his hands had turned into this state.
“Damn it.” Liu Maoyu couldn’t help but roar, his whole body agitated.
Immediately after, Liu Maoyu directly left the medicinal garden, heading into the dense forest of the garden.
He now wanted to find something to kill to vent his anger, if he didn’t vent, he felt his heart realm would collapse.
Anyone who originally thought that precious fortune was about to be theirs but vanished in an instant would be as furious as this.
Even if Liu Maoyu had lived for thousands of years, he could not endure the duck that was almost in his mouth flying away just like that.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Liu Maoyu suddenly stopped, looking around and felt something was wrong: “Why haven’t I seen any soul beasts?”
“Wasn’t it said there were no soul beasts originally near the medicinal garden, probably because those soul beasts, fearing the aura from the garden’s array, hid away, right?” Another Flowing Gold Clan member guessed.
However, another person thought differently: “Indeed something is wrong, we have already left the range of the medicinal garden’s influence. Normally, there should be quite a few soul beasts in this garden, we should encounter soul beasts.”
Suddenly, Liu Maoyu seemed to realize something and rushed in one direction. Naturally, the other two Flowing Gold Clan members hurried after him.
Soon after, Liu Maoyu’s rapidly rushing figure stopped, at the foot of a mountain wall, seeing from the terrain over there, it should be a den.
But near the den, there were traces of battle, the soul beasts that originally lived in this place were gone.
“Someone is still active in this garden, probably specifically to find and kill these soul beasts.” Liu Maoyu instantly deduced after seeing this scene.
“The geniuses from the Heroes Gathering mostly wouldn’t waste too much time in the garden area, they’d rush straight into the interior, even wishing to not encounter soul beasts to waste time.”
“This den is so obvious, one could completely avoid it, but there are battle traces here. Clearly, someone is deliberately seeking soul beasts to fight.”
“But it’s also strange, where did the corpses of the soul beasts go after they died, were they taken away?”
This puzzled Liu Maoyu, for the soul beast corpses in these ruins, are a burden to them, could there really be someone foolish enough to carry the soul beasts around while running everywhere?
Following this, Liu Maoyu and his two clan members ran wildly in the vicinity for seven or eight days, and discovered that there wasn’t a single soul beast there, all had been slain.
It would be a miracle if they could find a soul beast; after leaving the medicinal garden and gaining substantial harvests, Lin Qian split up with the fourth-generation heirs of the Wei family.
The Wei family heirs went to hunt soul beasts, while Lin Qian, searching for spiritual medicine, also killed any soul beasts he encountered.
Hence, there wasn’t a single soul beast near the medicinal garden.
“Someone stayed in the garden to hunt soul beasts, no corpses, meaning they have a way to store soul energy to preserve soul beast corpses. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn’t waste time in the garden hunting soul beasts!” Liu Maoyu’s liquid metal body pulsed with his excitement.
Because he saw a turning point, a new opportunity!
