91: The Beast Tide Arrives

Lu Yuchen’s heart was as clear as a mirror.

Which of his four disciples wasn’t a cheat with a Protagonist Halo?

Lin Fan’s Ancient Desolate Body, Nanny’s Chaos Body, Ling Ke’er’s Mystic Maiden Heart Sutra, Xiao Huohuo’s Endless Flame Body…

This configuration, if pulled into any Xuanhuan novel, would be the absolute final BOSS template!

A mere Transmigrator with a “defective” System, wanting to hunt them down?

He probably didn’t check the almanac before going out, and his brain was kicked by a donkey!

“Alas, young people just can’t hold their temper.”

Lu Yuchen sighed with a world-weary air.

…

The scene shifts back to Lin Fan and the other three.

The composition of the team also changed from the initial four-person group to… four people walking in front, with a massive crowd of “little brothers” following behind.

The Zhuge family? They were already the most loyal of the loyal.

Even Chu Feng, the Prodigy of the Profound Sword Sect who had previously sought trouble, now followed behind Lin Fan like a lapdog, calling him “Boss” this and “Boss” that, with an almost sickening familiarity.

There was no other way; he had to admit defeat!

Just yesterday, their group accidentally stumbled into the territory of a Yao Beast comparable to a Heavenly Human Realm Late Stage “Purple Lightning Thunder Lion,” and also ran into a pack of over a hundred Innate Realm “Lightning Wolves.”

The scene scared Chu Feng and Zhuge Qing so much they almost wet their pants on the spot.

In their eyes, this was an absolute dead end!

But what was the result?

Xiao Huohuo didn’t even bother to use his signature “Buddha’s Angry Flame Lotus.” He just brought out his “Profound Heavy Ruler” and started wildly smashing!

Ruler shadows flew, and flames soared to the sky!

That majestic Purple Lightning Thunder Lion was smashed into a puddle of flesh by him before it could even unleash a decent skill!

As for the hundred or so Lightning Wolves…

They weren’t even enough to stick in his teeth; they were directly incinerated into ashes by the violent waves of fire.

The entire process was smooth, swift, and didn’t even take more than the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

Chu Feng, this Genius of the Profound Sword Sect, a Great Grandmaster Peak expert, knelt on the spot.

What was the point of fighting anymore!

Both were at the Grandmaster Realm, but he could take on seven or eight as if it were a game, and even wiped out a beast pack along the way.

The gap was wider than between a human and a dog!

If he didn’t become a follower, was he waiting to become an enemy?

And so, the team’s dynamic became exceptionally strange.

Lin Fan and the other three leisurely searched for treasures and explored the path ahead.

The Profound Sword Sect and the Zhuge family, these two top powers of Qing Province, followed behind, responsible for clearing out minor enemies, diligently serving them.

These past two days, they followed a map “borrowed” from an unlucky fellow by Xiao Huohuo, heading towards the core area of the Secret Realm.

The Yao Beasts they encountered along the way also grew stronger and stronger.

But without exception, they all became “energy packs” for Lin Fan and the other three to temper their Physical Body.

Their Physical Body strength had actually advanced quite a bit in these short two days.

And Chu Feng and the Zhuge family members, following behind, were not without their gains.

Although they couldn’t defeat those powerful Yao Beasts, killing some below the Grandmaster Realm was more than enough.

The pure energy feedback made their True Qi and Internal Energy more condensed, and their total volume continuously soared!

They had a premonition that as soon as they left the Secret Realm, they would be able to Breakthrough on the spot!

This immortal opportunity was too amazing!

…

Another two days passed.

On this day, everyone finally arrived at the core area marked on the map.

A massive, indescribable bronze palace stood silently at the end of the plain.

The palace was ancient and vast, as if it had existed since the primordial era, exuding a heart-pounding pressure, like a slumbering ancient giant beast.

“This… is this the Legacy Palace of the Hidden Venerable?”

Everyone was awestruck by the magnificent sight before them.

However, when they excitedly ran to the palace gate, which was a hundred zhang tall, they were all dumbfounded.

The gate was tightly shut, with complex Formation patterns inscribed on it. No matter how they pushed, or how they attacked with their Dharma power or Internal Energy, it remained motionless.

“This… this can’t be opened!”

Everyone looked at each other, their faces crestfallen like eggplants hit by frost.

They had gone through so much trouble to get here, only to be blocked by a door?

“Oh?”

The sharp-eyed Ling Ke’er suddenly pointed to an inconspicuous groove in the center of the gate and whispered, “Look, there seems to be a gap here.”

Everyone leaned in to look, and indeed!

In the center of the gate, there was a tiger-shaped indentation about the size of a palm.

From its appearance, it clearly required a specific key to open!

“No key, so we came for nothing?”

A deep sense of powerlessness arose in everyone’s hearts.

Just as everyone was feeling disappointed.

No one noticed.

On a mountaintop dozens of li away from this place, a black figure stood quietly.

He was Chen Beixuan, the Transmigrator with the “Hunter System.”

At this moment, at his feet, there was a dense, dark mass of various terrifying Yao Beasts with ferocious forms!

From Innate, to Grandmaster, to Great Grandmaster, and even… a few terrifying existences comparable to the Heavenly Human Realm!

Dense and overwhelming!

He looked at the bronze palace below, and a sinister and cruel arc curved at the corner of his mouth.

He slowly spread his palm.

In his palm, a lifelike tiger jade pendant, carved entirely from Star Jade Marrow, was emitting a faint glow.

It was exactly the same as the gap on the palace gate!

“Hehe…”

“Thank you all for scouting the way for me.”

“Next, I’ll let you witness what true… despair is!”

His voice, filled with endless greed and killing intent, echoed faintly on the mountaintop.

“All beasts, heed my command!”

“Follow me… and flatten this place!”

“Roar—!”
