Chapter 35

Lin Tian thought for a moment. Joining the Guild wouldn't affect him much. On the contrary, occasionally coming to the Array Master Guild to do missions and exchange for some special materials would be quite good. Besides, he could receive a monthly stipend of spirit coins for free.

"Alright, I'll join," he said.

Upon hearing this, Ge Zheng immediately showed a look of pleasant surprise.

"Xiao Fei, quickly! Record the young man's information," Ge Zheng said to the female attendant, but then shook his head, slightly excited: "I'll do it myself!"

Lin Tian: "..."

This old man was like a child at this moment.

Just like before, Lin Tian's name in the Array Master Guild was still "Black Robe." Ge Zheng didn't delve into this. The Array Master Guild wouldn't investigate an Array Master's personal privacy; whether it was a real name or not didn't matter.

"Done!"

After recording everything, Ge Zheng laughed heartily.

Beside him, Pu Shi teased, "You're so old, yet you look so excited."

Ge Zheng chuckled dryly, not bothering to explain.

The certification examination for Array Masters was now completely finished. Lin Tian didn't plan to stay any longer. Time was short, and he still needed to return to practice. After exchanging a few words with Pu Shi and Ge Zheng, he and Pu Shi walked out of the Array Master Guild.

Everyone around them looked at the two with respect.

"Do you have some free time? Why don't you visit the Treasure Exchange Pavilion?" Pu Shi asked with a smile as they walked out.

Under the black robe, Lin Tian's voice came out: "Thank you for your kind invitation, Elder Pu, but not now. I have other matters to attend to. When I have some free time, I will definitely visit your pavilion."

"Alright, anytime," Pu Shi said with a smile.

After witnessing Lin Tian's exquisite and unparalleled array control skills, Pu Shi was even more convinced that Lin Tian must have a terrifying and astonishing teacher behind him, and thus paid even more attention to him.

As they talked, they walked out.

At this moment, the door of the Array Master Guild was slammed open, and two figures, one old and one young, rushed in, both covered in blood. One of them was holding a woman in white, whose white clothes were also stained with blood.

"Someone! Quick! Help us! Hurry up!"

The young man shouted.

The smell of blood in the air made many people frown, but when they saw the other person next to the young man, everyone's expressions changed, showing disbelief. Even Pu Shi and Ge Zheng were no exception.

"General Ji?!"

Pu Shi was surprised.

The two who burst into the guild, one was wearing a splendid robe, about eighteen years old, and the other was wearing a crimson gold armor, older than Pu Shi and Ge Zheng, covered in blood. It was this person who made the two second-rank Array Masters, Pu Shi and Ge Zheng, both moved and step forward.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Tian was a bit puzzled and asked the female attendant beside him, "Who is this person?"

The attendant was somewhat surprised that Lin Tian didn't know this person, but still explained politely, with a look of reverence: "General Ji Yuanshan, who has fought on the battlefield for decades, has repeatedly repelled enemy armies. Half of the peace in our Northern Flame Kingdom is due to General Ji!"

Lin Tian was moved. No wonder everyone here was so shocked when they saw this person.

"General, what happened? Why are you here? And this is..."

Ge Zheng was alarmed.

Looking at the blood-soaked Ji Yuanshan, Ge Zheng was stunned.

Ji Yuanshan was eighty years old this year, but his face was still ruddy, his eyes as deep as the starry sky, exuding a fierce fighting spirit and a righteous aura.

Ji Yuanshan didn't know Ge Zheng and Pu Shi, but when he saw the Array Master emblems on their chests, his expression changed: "Please, save her!"

Ji Yuanshan's voice was old and low, but it couldn't hide his anxiety. He was holding a woman in white, whose abdomen was blood-red, and her breath was very weak.

"Who is this?!"

Pu Shi's pupils narrowed.

"My granddaughter, Ji Yu," Ji Yuanshan's voice was low, filled with a strong killing intent: "We rushed back from the border to the capital, but on the way through Fengjian City, we encountered an ambush by the enemy. Although the enemies were all eliminated, Ji Yu..."

At this point, everyone understood.

The Northern Flame Kingdom had eight generals, but the only one who could be called "General" was Ji Yuanshan! To the enemies of the Northern Flame Kingdom, Ji Yuanshan was an absolute thorn in their side, so assassination attempts often occurred.

"Damn barbarians of the enemy country, how dare they do this again and again!"

A martial artist said angrily.

Ji Yuanshan's voice was low, looking at Pu Shi and Ge Zheng, he said sincerely: "Both of you are Array Masters, please save her!"

Encountering an assassination by enemy experts, Ji Yuanshan himself was not seriously injured, but Ji Yu, who came to meet him, was unfortunately severely wounded. Because they were close to Fengjian City and Ji Yu was seriously injured, Ji Yuanshan directly carried Ji Yu to Fengjian City, hoping to use the power of the Array Master Guild in Fengjian City to stabilize Ji Yu's condition. After all, Array Masters had excellent abilities and were involved in many fields.

"General, don't be anxious, put Ji Yu down first."

Pu Shi said.

Ji Yuanshan nodded and carefully placed the young girl down.

Only then did everyone truly see the girl's appearance, and they were all amazed. Even Lin Tian under the black robe couldn't help but be moved. The girl was about sixteen years old, with smooth black hair and long lashes. Despite her extremely pale face, she couldn't hide her stunning beauty, making everyone's eyes light up.

"There is such a beautiful girl in the world!"

Lin Tian was slightly surprised.

At this moment, Ge Zheng stepped forward, his expression solemn, examining the girl's injuries. As an Array Master, Ge Zheng had diverse and terrifying skills, capable of both killing and saving.

After a moment, Ge Zheng's expression turned serious.

"How is it?"

Ji Yuanshan asked in a low voice.

Ge Zheng shook his head, his expression not good.

Pu Shi stepped forward, examined for a while, and also shook his head.

"Her injuries are too severe, and she has lost too much blood. I'm afraid..."

Pu Shi said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanshan trembled, seeming to age ten years in an instant.

"I told you, such a small place can't have any capable people!" The young man in the splendid robe who came with Ji Yuanshan said: "General Ji, let's quickly return to the capital. We can't waste time in this small place. Our Leng family has skilled healers, and they will surely cure Xiao Yu!"

Ji Yuanshan was slightly disappointed, nodded, and prepared to leave with the girl.

"Wait." At this moment, Pu Shi called out to Ji Yuanshan, saying: "General, we two are indeed powerless, but this young friend might be able to help."

As he spoke, Pu Shi pointed to Lin Tian beside him.

Lin Tian was speechless, wondering why it had to be him again.

Ji Yuanshan stopped, not minding Lin Tian's strange attire, and asked Pu Shi: "Really?"

"I can't be 100% sure, but this young brother is far more skilled than Ge Zheng and I."

Pu Shi said.

A glint of sharpness flashed in Ji Yuanshan's eyes. Having fought on the battlefield for a long time, he was not only powerful but also knowledgeable in many areas. He knew that both Pu Shi and Ge Zheng were second-rank Array Masters, extremely rare and valuable. Now, Pu Shi was saying that someone here was more skilled than himself and Ge Zheng, which immediately gave Ji Yuanshan a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, Ge Zheng also looked at Lin Tian, his expression serious, and said earnestly: "Young brother Black Robe, can you help? If you can, please do your best!"

Ge Zheng was somewhat rigid and stubborn, and because of this, he had always admired General Ji Yuanshan. Now, Ji Yuanshan's only granddaughter was so severely injured, and he naturally hoped she could be saved.

For a moment, everyone's gaze fell on Lin Tian again.

Through the black robe, Lin Tian looked at the girl Ji Yuanshan was holding, his brows slightly furrowed. In fact, since Ji Yuanshan put the girl down, he had been observing her injuries and had already thought of a way to deal with them. However, the process of that method would be somewhat awkward.

"Young brother, can you help?"

Ji Yuanshan asked in a low voice.

With his only granddaughter critically injured, Ji Yuanshan appeared calm but was extremely anxious inside.

For a moment, the surroundings became quiet.

After three breaths, under Ji Yuanshan's slightly surprised gaze, Lin Tian nodded and said from under the black robe: "I can save her, but..."

At this point, Lin Tian seemed somewhat hesitant.

"But what?" Ji Yuanshan was slightly puzzled, then suddenly understood and said in a low voice: "Young brother, just say what you want. Whatever I have, I will give it to you!"

Lin Tian shook his head: "That's not what I mean."

"Then what is it?"

Ji Yuanshan frowned.

Everyone around looked at Lin Tian.

"Young brother, time is precious. If you have any concerns, just speak up, and we can discuss it together."

Pu Shi said.

Although he had only known Lin Tian for a short time and didn't know his appearance or real name, Pu Shi knew that Lin Tian was not the kind of person who would take advantage of the situation.

Lin Tian thought for a moment, nodded lightly, and said from under the black robe: "I have an array pattern that can work with the Spirit Gathering Pattern to forcibly infuse the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into her body to heal her injuries, but..." He paused slightly and continued: "But, she needs to bear the array pattern in the nude."

"What!"

Upon hearing this, Pu Shi and Ge Zheng both changed their expressions.

On the other side, Ji Yuanshan frowned deeply, his expression turning serious.

"Barely! General, absolutely not!" The young man in the splendid robe who came with Ji Yuanshan shouted, coldly staring at Lin Tian under the black robe: "Xiao Yu's purity cannot be defiled by anyone! This bare body bearing the array pattern is just a pretext. I think this person is just taking advantage of the situation, with ill intentions!"
