“It seems the show hasn’t started yet. How could I, Guo Chen, possibly miss such an occasion? Here lies the final Yu Long Token. If anyone wants to fight, come at me!”
As everyone was contemplating who would obtain the final Yu Long Token, a rough voice slowly echoed from afar. A blood-red figure approached from the distance, causing Xiao Yufan’s narrow eyes to narrow even further.
It’s said that enemies are destined to meet again. Guo Chen, whom Xiao Yufan had nearly killed during the Ancient Martial Arts Congress, actually appeared before him in such circumstances!
Moreover, his strength!
He had clearly reached the peak of the先天 realm, even surpassing Xiao Yufan by a slight margin. In such a short time, how had he advanced so rapidly?
As if noticing Xiao Yufan’s icy gaze, Guo Chen’s blood-red eyes also shifted over, but his lips continued to curl into a sinister and cold smile. Enemies meeting sparks intense hostility, and neither concealed their murderous intent.
Guo Chen’s sudden appearance stirred a wave of commotion among the crowd. Although his peak innate strength was indeed formidable, there were still many powerful figures present. How confident was he that he could protect the Yu Long Token?
“I remember now—he’s the Blood-red Guo Chen! Earlier in the northwest, he actually killed an expert at the Semi-Enlightened Realm!”
As murmurs spread, Xue Feng seemed to recall something, his slightly astonished voice spreading outward. This sentence indeed stunned everyone present—including Xiao Yufan.
He actually defeated a Semi-Enlightened expert?
Was Guo Chen’s current strength merely at the peak of the先天 (Qian Dan) realm? Xiao Yufan realized he might have underestimated this “waste.” Perhaps that person named Xue Hanzi had invested tremendous effort to transform him from a nearly dead dog into his current state.
The several factions that had been stirring up trouble fell completely silent. Are you kidding? Could they really provoke someone who had once killed a Semi-Enlightened expert?
Even from the hidden corners of the battlefield, strange fluctuations of energy were emitted due to Guo Chen’s appearance. Obviously, his actions in the northwest had left many people deeply wary—especially those experts at the peak of the先天 and Semi-Enlightened realms.
“Now that all five Tokens are here, let’s first summon the inheritance of Yu Long Sect. As for who obtains it, that depends on fate!” Yan Wanyu gently said after a brief surprise.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Yan Zheng, who had remained on the hilltop the entire time, flew down swiftly. Within a few breaths, he had arrived beside Xiao Yufan and the others. This was the first time Xiao Yufan had seen his true form, as previously he had only sensed someone constantly watching them.
Five jade pendants in their palms emitted a flash of white light, which gradually converged into a five-star formation. The Yu Long Tokens, as if drawn by something, slowly floated upward.
Boom!
That desolate area, seemingly sealed away by ancient restrictions, finally stirred. The ground began to tremble violently, cold winds blew fiercely, sending sand and stones flying—but it had little effect on those present…
A palace emerged as if breaking through the earth, slowly revealing itself. The vast expanse was shrouded in chaos. Even Yan Wanyu, at the Semi-Enlightened Realm, furrowed her brows. The palace appeared extremely grand, yet seemed to exist in a space of its own—a wondrous artifact left behind from the previous era of ancient martial arts.
Summoning the Yu Long Sect was merely the first step.
As the thunderous sound finally faded, the five Yu Long Tokens began to spin wildly. Then, the palace gates slowly opened, and in an instant, a primordial aura surged out from within the ancient hall!
The transcendent existence from the last era of ancient martial arts reappeared before the world…
“Charge! Yu Long Sect has appeared! All the treasures inside belong to us, all to us!”
After a brief hesitation, someone finally lost control. This was the inheritance of Yu Long Sect—even super factions like the Ancient Spirit Clan and Blood Spirit Clan were deeply tempted, let alone others. Thus, they had completely lost rationality.
“Should we go in…?”
Behind Xiao Yufan, Ye Kong also seemed infected by the atmosphere, his eyes reddening slightly as he turned to ask Xiao Yufan.
“Now is not the time. Only fools would act so recklessly. Do they really think obtaining Yu Long Sect’s inheritance is that easy?”
Xiao Yufan swept his gaze over the chaotic crowd, his lips twitching. These people truly didn’t value their lives. However, that primordial aura indeed greatly affected some individuals, or else they wouldn’t have gone mad.
Thinking this, Xiao Yufan gently placed his palm on Ye Kong and Xie Yuan, and the redness in their eyes gradually faded.
Even the strongest experts at the先天 realm were unable to resist the influence of that primordial aura.
The first group that rushed into Yu Long Sect vanished without a trace. Several Semi-先天 experts were even thrown out, their auras extremely weak.
Entering Yu Long Sect proved so perilous. The belated realization sent shivers down the spines of the crowd. They had underestimated the difficulty—no inheritance was easily obtained.
Xiao Yufan’s gaze swept sequentially over Yan Wanyu, Guo Chen, and Yan Zheng. He noticed that none of them had moved, nor had their emotions fluctuated greatly. Obviously, they had anticipated this all along.
The atmosphere suddenly grew tense. Many people slowly stepped back, away from the entrance of Yu Long Sect.
Inheritance was indeed tempting, but compared to that, life was far more important. No one was willing to leave their life in this mysterious place, so caution was necessary…
“Yinshan Sect, hand over the Yu Long Token! Such a rare treasure seems too much for you to deserve!”
At that moment, from a hidden place previously sensed by Xiao Yufan, two figures suddenly appeared. Their voices carried an air of undeniable authority.
The expression of the Yinshan Sect’s burly disciple darkened instantly. Indeed, the saying goes: “An innocent man is still in danger if he possesses a treasure.”
The appearance of these two not only furrowed Yan Zheng’s brows but also caused Cheng Ying to slightly frown. Observing this, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but smirk coldly. The aura surrounding them was indeed particularly unpleasant.
Especially one of them, Xiao Yufan could even sense an aura extremely similar to Guo Chen’s. He must be another freakish creature—neither man nor ghost…
