Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 251 Map!

Upon hearing these words, Lu Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of light emanating from them. He praised, "One has to admire Brother Dao Ying’s meticulous planning. This way, we can simply stand by and watch the spectacle unfold, eventually reaping the rewards."

"Indeed." Dao Ying nodded slightly and said to Lu Hao, "As long as you perform well, I won’t treat you unfairly. You can rest assured. Just focus on cooperating well, understand?"

"Understood! Understood!" Lu Hao nodded vigorously, squeezing out a sheepish smile. "You can rest assured, Brother Dao Ying, I definitely won’t let you down!"

"That’s for the best." Dao Ying chuckled, then continued, "Next, let’s spread this news. The more factions within the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land that are aware of this, the better. With the influence of my Divine Blade Sect in this place, there are few who dare to oppose us."

"Yes! We will see to it immediately!" Lu Hao and the disciples of the Divine Blade Sect nodded repeatedly before springing into action.

「Meanwhile.」

Long Chen and the Disciples of Guiyuan Academy had arrived in a deep mountain range.

"Those guys haven’t followed us, we can relax now," Wei Lin said to the others after vigilantly observing the distance and seeing no signs of movement.

Hearing this, the Disciples of Guiyuan Academy finally relaxed a little, the initial tension fading away.

With a grand wave of his hand, Long Chen took out the five Heaven Reaching Fruits from his spatial ring and said to Dong Xuan, "Brother Dong, all the Heaven Reaching Fruits are with me. How shall we distribute them?"

Long Chen wasn’t the type of person to claim every benefit for himself. Now that they had escaped danger, it was time to discuss the distribution of the fruits. After all, these Heaven Reaching Fruits were obtained through the fierce, combined struggle of everyone present.

Dong Xuan mused, "According to the rules, all these Heaven Reaching Fruits were obtained through your efforts. You are entitled to one, and the rest must be handed over to the headmaster, who will then distribute them at his discretion."

No one present objected to Dong Xuan’s words, because that was indeed the rule. As long as the distribution was in accordance with the rules, there was naturally nothing to argue about.

Hearing this, Long Chen nodded slightly and placed one of the Heaven Reaching Fruits back into his spatial ring. "Alright, I’ll take one. You can keep the rest safe."

Dong Xuan hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, not taking the fruits.

Seeing this, Long Chen was puzzled and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Dong Xuan said thoughtfully, "That Lu Hao managed to survive by chance and has now met up with people from the Divine Blade Sect. I fear this matter is far from over. Therefore, I think it’s best if you hold onto the Heaven Reaching Fruits."

"Well..." Long Chen hesitated.

The other Disciples of Guiyuan Academy were also surprised, not expecting Dong Xuan to make such a decision. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"This is a decision I’ve made after careful thought," Dong Xuan explained. "Out of all of us, you’re the fastest. If we do encounter any trouble later on, you’ll be able to get away in time. That way, the Heaven Reaching Fruits won’t fall into their hands! I hope you can deliver them to the headmaster, safe and sound."

Lin Feifei, not wanting Long Chen to feel any pressure, quickly chimed in, "That’s right! Senior Brother is correct! The Heaven Reaching Fruits are so important; they definitely need to be safeguarded by someone who is both strong and quick. Only then will it be appropriate. Since Senior Brother trusts you so much, I wholeheartedly support this decision."

Then, Lin Feifei turned to the few disciples behind her and asked, "What do you think?"

"We will follow Senior Brother’s arrangement!" the disciples immediately replied.

Finally, Wei Lin also spoke up, "Kid, at a time like this, there’s no need to be modest. We won’t forget the credit you’re due, but you also have to take on the tasks that fall to you! Among the younger generation of Guiyuan Academy, aside from Senior Brother, only you have managed to truly astound me."

His words made everyone present chuckle.

"Brother Long, see? Everyone is saying you should take care of them. You can’t shrug off this responsibility," Dong Xuan said with a smile.

Seeing this, Long Chen smiled faintly. "Since everyone feels this way, I’ll look after these remaining four Heaven Reaching Fruits for now. You all trust me so much, and I won’t let you down. I will do my utmost to keep these four fruits safe."

Dong Xuan smiled. "With your words, I can rest assured. Let’s rest here for a moment before we continue. There’s only one day left before the exit from the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land closes. Let’s use this time to find as many Secret Treasures as we can to enrich the Scripture Pavilion."

"No problem!"

Having obtained such an important Secret Treasure and won a splendid opening battle, the Disciples of Guiyuan Academy were all fired up.

During their rest, Long Chen suddenly remembered the Storage Bag he had snatched from Qian Kun and took it out from his spatial ring. Opening the bag, he found some Elixir Pills for healing, as well as a sheepskin scroll. Curious, Long Chen picked up the scroll and unfurled it. His heart leaped with joy, for on it was drawn a map of the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land!

He immediately began to examine it closely.

Dong Xuan noticed Long Chen’s intense focus on the scroll and couldn’t help but feel curious. He asked, "Brother Long, what are you looking at?"

But Long Chen didn’t respond, his eyes still glued to the map. Just as Dong Xuan was about to approach for a closer look, Long Chen suddenly burst into laughter. "I’ve finally found it!"

The sudden commotion caught everyone’s attention.

Lin Feifei and Dong Xuan asked curiously, "Brother Long, what did you find?"

"On this map of the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land, I’ve found the location of the Restoring Tendon Grass," Long Chen replied calmly. "I must get my hands on it!"

"A map?" Dong Xuan and the others were slightly taken aback, then quickly came over. "Brother Long, let us see the map."

"Alright." Long Chen nodded and handed it over.

Upon seeing the sheepskin scroll, their faces lit up with surprise. "It really is a map of the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land! No wonder those other factions always manage such a huge harvest here; it turns out they come prepared with a map. To think we’d obtain one so effortlessly. With this, we won’t have to stumble around blindly like headless flies anymore."

Learning that the scroll was a map of the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land, all the Disciples of Guiyuan Academy were visibly thrilled.

Dong Xuan continued to study the map. "The Restoring Tendon Grass is located several kilometers from here. It seems to be near some ancient ruins, but the specifics are unclear." He then suggested, "Let’s not worry about that for now. Since Brother Long urgently needs the Restoring Tendon Grass, let’s head there first."

"Sure, no problem," the disciples nodded in agreement.

Long Chen’s heart warmed. He had originally intended to suggest Dong Xuan lead the others to find new opportunities while he went for the Restoring Tendon Grass alone. He never expected Dong Xuan to propose they all go together. The decision and gesture truly surprised him.

Dong Xuan patted Long Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, we’re in this together. Your business is our business."

Long Chen smiled slightly and no longer stood on ceremony. "Then I’ll thank everyone in advance."

After a short break to regroup, Long Chen, Dong Xuan, and the others set off toward the location of the Restoring Tendon Grass.

「What they didn’t know was that a message had already spread throughout the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land.」

The rumor claimed that the people of Guiyuan Academy had secretly attacked the Heavenly Water Sect and Xuanyue Valley to seize the Jinyin Tiger’s Inner Pill for themselves. Upon hearing of the Jinyin Tiger’s Inner Pill, all the factions inside the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land began to salivate.

What was the Jinyin Tiger’s Inner Pill? A Jinyin Tiger capable of forming an inner core must have lived for at least a hundred years. Furthermore, Jinyin Tigers absorbed the essence of the sun and moon every day to purify their strength. Such a Demon Beast was exceedingly rare and sought after. If one could refine its inner core, their Cultivation would certainly advance to a new level. Moreover, if they could use this opportunity to stabilize and strengthen their foundation, their future cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, as soon as news of the Jinyin Tiger’s Inner Pill spread, it attracted the attention of many factions. The various powers were all eager to find the Disciples of Guiyuan Academy, hoping to claim the prize before anyone else could make a move.

Meanwhile, Long Chen and the others followed the map, heading straight for the Restoring Tendon Grass. But just then, a sudden sense of unease washed over Long Chen. His brows furrowed, and he immediately halted, signaling the disciples behind him with a hand gesture.

Dong Xuan asked, "What’s wrong?"

Without responding, Long Chen activated his Divine Demon Eye. The next second, his left eye turned pitch black for the Demon Path, and his right eye turned pale for the Divine Path. His gaze became completely unobstructed. Although he stood in place, he could clearly see everything on the ground around them.

In the distance, he saw two groups of people rapidly approaching their position.
