Lin Chen pondered silently in his heart. The Major Sects had entered these ruins for the opportunities and inheritances within. Now that everyone had been exploring the ruins for about half a month, it seemed they had discovered that the true inheritance of these ruins was located at the distant Qilin Mountain.
If they wanted to go to Qilin Mountain, they would have to pass through Mt. Taiyin, where the Magical Beasts were waiting, so conflict naturally ensued.
Through conversations with some disciples, Lin Chen learned that the humans had not gained the upper hand, and quite a few Martial Artists from various Sects had been severely wounded.
And the Magical Beasts on the main road of Mt. Taiyin had also been slaughtered in great numbers, with several Shape-shifting Great Demons dying at the hands of the combined force of humans.
But both human Martial Artists and Magical Beasts were too heavily injured, and after several days, they were likely almost healed.
After learning of this news, Lin Chen headed towards the road on Mt. Taiyin and soon arrived at the battlefield.
At the moment, a group of human Martial Artists was indeed engaged in a fierce battle with the Magical Beasts in the forest.
However, this time the battle was not a group fight but between a powerful Martial Artist and a half-transformed Magical Beast.
This seemed to be a method of combat chosen by both human Martial Artists and Magical Beasts, who even talked about martial virtue.
At this moment, Lin Chen stealthily hid his form, noticing that the aura of several Martial Artists was quite extraordinary, among them was Hu Jianfei from the Sword Qi Sect.
There was also a man in a blood-red robe who was Ma Yuan, a Demon Cultivator from the Black Cloud Sect, whose Cultivation had even reached the First Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm.
At the moment, these two, like everyone else, were observing the battle between the human Martial Artists and the Magical Beast.
The onlookers surrounding the battle, whether they were human Martial Artists or Magical Beasts, had no intention of stepping forward to help, but just watched and waited for the outcome of the fight.
The Magical Beast fighting was not the strongest among the group, and among the Magical Beasts watching from the mountains, there were forty to fifty of Peak Melding Earth Realm, each one a Shape-shifting Great Demon, albeit currently in a half beast, half human form.
In addition, the number of Magical Beasts at the Eighth Layer of Melding Earth Realm was also sizable, over a hundred strong, and there were even more of lower Cultivation, amounting to several hundreds.
With such a force of Magical Beasts, no human Martial Artist dared to say they could pass through Mt. Taiyin Path alone, not even Lin Chen.
Not just individuals, but even all the disciples of any Sect combined would definitely be unable to break through.
To pass through Mt. Taiyin Path and head towards Qilin Mountain, it looked like they would only succeed by banding together.
Zhao Yijing and the others were still waiting outside the forest. It seemed that getting to Qilin Mountain was not something that could be rushed at the moment.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen quietly left. Since he couldn’t make it through, staying would inevitably attract the attention of the Martial Artists, and it would be troublesome to be entangled with them.
Lin Chen returned to their camp on the outskirts of the forest, and reported the situation within the Mysterious Forest to Zhao Yijing and Xu Lianyu, among others.
"So, the trip to Qilin Mountain can’t be rushed. After all, everyone is not a fool, and I’m sure the Martial Artists from the Sects will soon cooperate," he said.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, what do you plan to do?"
Hearing this, everyone was at a loss for the moment and could only ask Lin Chen.
"Let’s just hold steady for now, let them go and muddle through the turmoil first. We can reap the benefits later. Sisters, continue to enhance your strength; we’ll use this time to conserve energy and wait for the right moment."
"I’ll continue to observe the situation inside the forest."
Lin Chen looked at his four Senior Sisters and expressed his thoughts. Zhao Yijing and the others nodded in agreement.
However, after learning about the strength of those Magical Beasts on his trip into the forest, Lin Chen was still somewhat uneasy and decided to make some life-saving trump cards.
There were many ingredients for pill refinement and talisman making in these ruins, so Lin Chen could take what he needed directly from his surroundings, refining some Talisman Inscriptions and elixirs, and then crafting some peculiar arrows.
"Junior Brother, what are you making with these?"
One day, Xu Lianyu noticed that Lin Chen was crafting nearly a hundred arrows, each emitting an extraordinary aura, and she approached with curiosity to ask.
Hearing her query, Lin Chen briefly explained.
Those arrows were specially crafted by Lin Chen, inspired by the Golden Bow and Arrow he had acquired.
The Golden Bow and Arrow could shoot light arrows without a bowstring and had tremendous power, but currently, it had a fatal flaw in that it was unsuitable for use by Martial Artists at the Spirit Gathering Realm or even the Melding Earth Realm due to its excessive consumption of Spiritual Power.
Therefore, Lin Chen took the opportunity during this period to refine some arrowheads suitable for use with the Golden Bow and Arrow, so next time he used it, he wouldn’t have to consume his own Spiritual Power to generate light arrows.
Thus, Lin Chen spent five more days not only refining some elixirs and inscribing Talismans but also crafting these nearly a hundred arrowheads.
"So they’re made for that bow. How powerful are they?"
Xu Lianyu understood as soon as she saw Lin Chen take out the Golden Bow and Arrow.
Watching the Golden Bow and Arrow in Lin Chen’s hands, Zhao Yijing’s eyes were touched, for the bow was quite extraordinary and she faintly sensed a dangerous aura from it.
Hearing Xu Lianyu express her desire to test their power matched exactly what Lin Chen was thinking, as at that moment, he too wanted to know the power of the arrows.
Immediately, he placed an arrow on the Golden Bow and Arrow and shot it at a mountain peak in front of him.
Now that the Magical Beasts were all inside Mt. Taiyin, entangled with the people from various Sects, Lin Chen wasn’t worried about causing a disturbance.

After a loud explosion, the power left Lin Chen and Zhao Yijing, among others, utterly speechless. They saw the peak of the distant mountain being flattened.
