Evan Nine Mysteries Lin Dares Enter My Medicine King Valley
Evan Lin climbed onto the cart, and Warren Wu immediately followed, sitting down beside Evan with a broad smile, clearly in high spirits.
The other passengers on the cart now looked at Evan Lin with surprise in their eyes.
They had no idea what just happened with Terence Liao—how did this middle-aged man end up kneeling after the teenager simply tapped him on the head?
Queenie Tong was also staring in shock at Evan Lin, who sat calmly across from her. Her heart was a bit unsettled, but seeing Evan so composed and not even glancing her way, she frowned slightly: "So strange."
No matter how she looked, Queenie couldn't believe this teenager could make Terence Liao kneel with a single slap.
So the only explanation for what happened was that Terence Liao's reputation was completely undeserved!
"Uncle, are you okay?" Harvey Liao scrambled up from the ground and hurried over to help Terence Liao to his feet.
Terence Liao's knees were throbbing with pain, but he managed to stand. He gritted his teeth and twisted his head to glare at Evan Lin, his eyes filled with confusion and shock.
He genuinely had no idea what had just happened.
"Damn it, it's just my old injury acting up! Otherwise, I would've taken that kid out in a second!" Terence Liao blurted out loudly, his eyes flickering.
As soon as he said that, a few people looked enlightened and their doubts faded away.
If it wasn’t for Terence Liao’s old injury flaring up, how could a kid like that possibly beat a former Medicine King Valley Guardian?
Harvey Liao helped Terence Liao onto the donkey cart. The white-clothed driver glanced over, snapped his whip, and the sturdy donkey pulled the cart toward the mountains.
On the cart, Harvey Liao and the others sat on one side. Lucy Lu kept sneaking glances at between at Evan Lin, finding it more and more incredible. No matter what, that move he just pulled was seriously impressive—even if Terence Liao’s injury acted up, it was still a stroke of luck.
Terence Liao kept his eyes locked on Evan Lin, already plotting to get his revenge once they reached Medicine King Valley.
"From here to Fisherman’s Pier will take most of the day. You all better sit tight on the cart—if you fall off and get lost, and some wild beast in the mountains eats you, don’t blame me!"
The white-clothed driver said this blandly, occasionally snapping his whip at the donkey up front.
“Man, I always heard it was tough to get into Medicine King Valley, but now I’m seeing it for myself.” Someone on the cart shook his head and sighed.
“You should feel lucky! Lately Seacrest hasn’t been peaceful. I heard Medicine King Valley ticked off some big shot. We might get to Fisherman’s Pier, but there’s no guarantee we’ll even catch a boat.” Another passenger chimed in.
“What do you mean? Medicine King Valley provoked a big shot? Who was it?”
As soon as those words left his mouth, a chorus of surprised voices erupted across the cart.
Among those seeking Medicine King Valley, there were not just locals from Seacrest, but also outsiders like Queenie Tong.
Most of them had no idea what was really going on in Seacrest.
“Recently, Medicine King Valley got tangled up with a teenager named Evan ‘Nine Mysteries’ Lin. Rumor has it he crippled one of their elders, and after they sent people to kill him, every single team ended up missing in action.”
The man kept talking, and as soon as he said that, Queenie Tong and Lucy Lu both froze.
“Evan ‘Nine Mysteries’ Lin—is he really that strong?” Queenie Tong asked, curiosity piqued.
She was naturally beautiful, and the bumpy ride had left her a bit bored. Hearing her question, the other passengers became even more eager to gossip.
“‘Strong’ doesn’t even begin to describe it—he’s a total prodigy! Medicine King Valley supposedly sent a bunch of people to capture Evan ‘Nine Mysteries’ Lin, including several elders, but every attempt failed.” The man went on, full of enthusiasm.
“Wait, is Evan ‘Nine Mysteries’ Lin the one who killed River City’s Number One, Drake Huang, and wiped out fourth-grade Vajra Gavin Cheng?”
Someone finally remembered and cried out in shock.
“No matter how strong Evan ‘Nine Mysteries’ Lin is, if he steps into Medicine King Valley, he’s as good as dead!”
As the heated discussion continued, Terence Liao suddenly spoke up coldly.
“You guys have no idea what the real power inside Medicine King Valley is like. Forget the Guardians—there are also worshiped experts who roam outside! And then there’s the legendary Medicine King Valley Master, said to have heaven-defying abilities!”
Terence Liao swept his gaze around: “The Valley Master could kill Evan ‘Nine Mysteries’ Lin with a single sneeze!”
Hearing Terence Liao’s words, the others instantly snapped back to reality and hurried to agree with him.
Queenie Tong’s face was still a little frosty, but she couldn’t help leaning in, eager to hear more about Evan ‘Nine Mysteries’ Lin’s exploits.
“Is the Medicine King Valley Master really that powerful?” Evan Lin asked Terence Liao, raising an eyebrow.
Terence Liao’s expression shifted at Evan’s question. He still hadn’t recovered from earlier—his pride was shattered, and his knees still throbbed. But fighting was strictly forbidden on the donkey cart; that was a written rule of Medicine King Valley, and he didn’t dare break it.
Hearing Evan Lin’s question, Terence Liao shot him a cold look. “Powerful doesn’t even begin to cover it—the Valley Master’s strength is way beyond anything a nobody like you could ever understand.”
“Besides, the Valley Master keeps a Blue-Flame Blood Python as his spirit beast. Its power is legendary—one breath from it can burn half a mountain to ashes! That kind of ability is way beyond your imagination!”
As Terence Liao spoke, he couldn’t help puffing out his chest a little.
The others, hearing his words, looked even more awestruck, all secretly hoping for a chance to meet the Medicine King Valley Master.
Meanwhile, no one paid much attention to Evan Lin, sitting quietly to the side.
Warren Wu, sitting next to Evan Lin, wore a wry smile.
If Terence Liao only knew that Evan ‘Nine Mysteries’ Lin was sitting right beside him, he’d never have dared to say any of that.
After all, Evan ‘Nine Mysteries’ Lin had killed a fourth-grade Vajra and several Medicine King Valley elders—his reputation was fearsome. As for everyone else hoping to meet the Valley Master, they just might get their wish.
Medicine King Valley is dead set on killing Evan ‘Nine Mysteries’ Lin. If the elders can’t do it, they’ll send the worshiped experts.
And if even the worshiped experts fail, then the Valley Master himself will have to come.
Just as Terence Liao said, the Medicine King Valley Master is no ordinary figure.
Especially that Blue-Flame Blood Python—just thinking about it sent a chill down Warren Wu’s spine.
The donkey kept pulling the cart forward, deeper into the mountains.
The mountain road was rough, and the cart rattled along.
In the mountains, a thick layer of white mist gradually began to rise.
The wind picked up.
