Chapter 684: Reaching the Heartland

Even though Luo Tiangong was unwilling, he had no choice but to become the labor force for the others. Watching the idle figures on the flying spirit device, his expression grew increasingly gloomy…

“Just keep laughing for another couple of days, because after that, you certainly won’t be able to laugh anymore!”

Xiao Yufan had already been placed on Luo Tiangong’s blacklist. As he sent word back to Jiugong Palace, many young experts from the Jiugong Palace generation also became highly antagonistic toward this individual. Regardless of their own motivations, Luo Tiangong was content as long as he could create trouble for this person!

Among the Jiugong Palace’s younger generation of experts, there were certainly not only those at the level of half-step innate realm!

Besides Xiao Yufan, that woman also fell into the category of Luo Tiangong’s vengeful wrath. No one dared to humiliate him like this, so Wang Yuxuan had already touched his bottom line.

As if sensing the sinister gaze from behind, Yuxuan’s lips curled into a faint, pleasing smile. If this guy dared to be so impolite, she wouldn’t mind helping Jiugong Palace rid itself of a scoundrel.

Just a guardian temple—certainly not enough to make Wang Yuxuan overly cautious!

Of course, if Xiao Yufan knew what this young lady was thinking, he would be greatly astonished. He could indeed guess that this young woman had a formidable background, but exactly how formidable, he had no idea.

Outside the deserted island was an expanse of sea. As for the location of the innermost area, Xiao Yufan had determined it based on instinct. Anyway, since riding the flying spirit device didn’t consume his physical or mental energy, there was no harm in circling around a bit longer.

Except for Ye Kong, who immediately closed his eyes to meditate upon stepping onto the flying spirit device, the others appeared quite lively. Especially Xie Yuan, who almost incessantly tried to chat up Yuxuan, only to be met with a few cold stares.

Every time this happened, he could only grudgingly shake his head. This woman seemed to be interested only in Xiao Yufan. Two women hovering around one man—was this really okay? Where did that leave the rest of them?

“I can’t see what’s happening, so my heart remains undisturbed. Luckily, I haven’t opened my eyes; otherwise, I’d be forced to watch all the displays of affection all day long!”

This was the truest reflection of Ye Kong’s inner thoughts. The reason he closed his eyes and meditated immediately upon boarding wasn’t about cultivating his powers—it was because he really didn’t want to see Yinger’s look of dependence toward that man, or even more so, Yuxuan’s dreamy, affectionate gaze.

The flying spirit device had been soaring for who knows how long. Luo Tiangong’s face had already turned somewhat pale, cold sweat trickling down the side of his face. He hadn’t expected the mysterious innermost area to be this far away.

At this point, he was practically itching for a good rant. The energy consumed by singlehandedly controlling the flying spirit device was definitely no less than battling an expert of the half-step innate realm. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a wretched state right now.

But he still had to keep pushing forward. No matter how wretched he felt, there was no one here to help him. Once he reached the innermost area, he would definitely repay everyone with the humiliation he had endured today. Who cares if they were from Qingling Hall or Huantian Divine Temple? No one outside would know anything about a fight happening here.

The flying spirit device trembled slightly. Xiao Yufan’s lips curled upward slightly, his gaze sweeping over Luo Tiangong, his expression still calm and indifferent.

It seemed this guy was nearing his limit. However, his efforts hadn’t been in vain. The boundary between the innermost area and the sea was faintly appearing before their eyes. Finally, they were about to step into the heart of this mysterious place!

A surge of ecstatic excitement welled up in Xiao Yufan’s heart. Only upon reaching the innermost area could he uncover more secrets. He had arrived for the inheritance of this mysterious space!
