Chapter 61: Suppression

  ——————————————

  The other side of the Kunlun Mountains

  A group of people proceeded cautiously, concealing their breath, and drove away some fourth-tier demonic beasts. They only killed the beasts when they had no choice, and immediately hastened forward after doing so.

  "According to the map, we should be arriving soon."

  A man pulled out a tattered map from his pocket, took a look, and then referred to the surrounding terrain. After some deliberation, he spoke slowly.

  "Long Tian, you'd better be careful, the Kunlun Mountains are really too big, if you go in the wrong direction, it'll make a huge difference."

  Chang Tian looked around carefully again and said firmly: "Lin brother, I'm sure it's correct."

  "Alright, let's rest here and recharge our spirits. We'll aim to take down that thousand-year-old Corpse King in one go." Lin Yan said, then sat back against a nearby rock, took out a Rejuvenation Pill and swallowed it, closing his eyes to meditate.

  There were five people in this small team, except for Zhang Tian and Captain Lin Yan, there were three others, namely Fang Kui, Xue Ding Shan, and a woman named Yi Qian Han. Her face was expressionless, and her whole body emitted a cold aura. She didn't say a word along the way.

  However, her appearance was extremely beautiful, with fair skin as white as a thousand-year-old ice, making it impossible for people to get close.

  Changfeng put away the map and swallowed a nourishing pill, then glanced at Lin Ye and said: "I heard that Yang Huan also accepted this task, and even brought out the young master of Tianyang Palace. This time..."

  Lin Yan opened his eyes and said: "Anyone can accept the task of Qianji Sect, there is no need to think so much, whoever completes it first will get the credit."

  "The words are not wrong, I'm afraid Yang Huan and others will come in secret. He is notorious for being treacherous. Don't forget how he framed you to gain the appreciation of Nan Gong Lie and was exceptionally selected as a disciple. We must be on guard against such treacherous people." Chang Feng's eyes were deep and vigilant, scanning the surroundings.

  That time in the inner door disciple contention, if it wasn't for Yang Huan's frame-up, Lin Yan would have already been an inner door disciple. As Lin Yan's brother, Chang Feng avenged Lin Yan's injustice.

  Lin Yan later found out that he was framed, but it was too late. He lost his qualification as a disciple of the sect and was constantly suppressed by Yang Huan afterwards.

  Moreover, Yang Huan soon joined the Qian Tian Sect after becoming an inner disciple. The Qian Tian Sect was extremely powerful in the Qián Jī Zōng, forcing them to have no way out and venture into the Kunlun Mountains to kill the thousand-year-old corpse king and earn enough merit points to exchange for inner disciple qualifications.

  The Thousand-Year Corpse King, the ancient demon king transformed from a single drop of essence and blood, cultivated for a thousand years, with extremely powerful strength. Among them, only Lin Yan was at the Refining Stage, while the others were all at the Gathering Spirit Realm. Venturing deep into the Kunlun Mountains was originally a nine-death-one-life situation, and to kill the Thousand-Year Corpse King again, Changfeng had no confidence in his heart.

  However, they had no way out and were only assigned tasks with a higher danger coefficient. But unexpectedly, Yang Hao also came.

  This is going to push them onto a dead end road.

  Lin Yan's eyes were firm, he looked at the four of them and felt a thousand emotions in his heart. Since Yang Huan became an inner disciple, their days in Qianji Sect had become increasingly difficult to endure. Despite this, all four of them had not left him.

  With a sense of guilt in his heart, he had no choice but to take on high-difficulty missions to lead his brothers out of their predicament.

  As for Yang Huan, he naturally hated him to the bone, but now his cultivation was not as good as his, wanting to take revenge was extremely difficult, let alone Yang Huan had a powerful backing of the Tian Xiang Sect.

  After resting for a moment, Lin Yan stood up and said, "Let's go!"

  Entering the forest, four people quickly followed up...

  ——————

  Qin Tian kept a steady pace, maintaining a distance of about one kilometer from Yang Huan, quietly following behind him. He wanted to see what they were up to.

  A team of five, not weak in strength, and with Yang Huan who has reached the boundary of Lianyun, Qin Tian couldn't quite understand. With their strength, they might still be a bit short to hunt down a fifth-grade demon beast. Looking at their expressions, it didn't seem like they were hunting for demon beasts either. Their route seemed to be heading towards some specific destination.

  This area is very familiar to Qin Tian, there's nothing special about it.

  Apart from those ruins.

  "Ruins?"

  Qin Tian was taken aback, and his mind fell into deep thought. He had been to that ruin less than ten times, and apart from the eerie winds, he hadn't felt anything out of the ordinary. Could it be that there was something else hidden beneath the ruins?

  Thinking of this, I felt a sudden chill in my heart, and suddenly it dawned on me, "It must be that ruin."

  The ruins seemed to be an array, and from time to time, a cold air would emerge from the ground, as if the array was loosening, as if something was about to break through the earth at any moment. It looked like there was definitely something hidden underneath.

  At this moment, Qin Tian's speed increased, hiding his breath, and quickly caught up.

  Qin Tiancai was right, Yang Huan and Nan Gongyan's group indeed went in the direction of the abandoned city.

  However, when they arrived, Lin Yan and his five men were one step ahead of them, searching for an entrance.

  Yang Huan sneered and walked up, his tone filled with disdain: "Lin big brother, you're here too? With your mere first-stage Lian Gang cultivation, you think you can kill this thousand-year-old Corpse King? I think it's better for you to leave early, lest you die here."

  The words were bitten particularly heavily, with a strong murderous intent.

  For Lin Ye, Yang Huan was very familiar with him. The first thing he did when he became an inner door disciple was to suppress Lin Ye by all means, and absolutely could not let them develop. For this reason, he joined the most powerful party in Qianji Sect, Qingtian Party, whose purpose was to suppress Lin Ye.

  These years Lin Yan and several others were oppressed by him almost to the point of despair.

  This time's task is still to prevent Lin Yan from getting merit points.

  Lin Yan's face changed, and before he could speak, Ah San, the attendant beside Nan Gongyan, took a step forward and pointed at Lin Yan, shouting angrily: "You few, seeing the young master, don't you quickly pay your respects?"

  Nangong Yan smiled slightly in satisfaction, feeling quite pleased with himself. Fortunately, he hadn't killed Ah San just now; otherwise, who would have been by his side?

  Lin Yan and several others bowed their heads in courtesy, except for Yi Qianhan.

  "Don't you recognize the Young Master of Tianyang Palace?" Ah San pointed at Yi Qianhan and shouted.

  "Whatever." Yang Huan smiled wryly and glanced at Yi Qianhan, who turned to look at him and said, "What? Aren't you leaving yet?"

  "Yang's surname, don't bully people too much." Long Feng shouted loudly, his eyes fixed on Yang Hong, his teeth chattering with a "ka-cha" sound. He risked his life to enter the Kunlun Mountains to complete his mission, but they still followed him, really pushing them to the end of the road.

  "You're not qualified to talk to me..."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the fan shook and the killing intent was revealed. A strong gust of wind shot out in all directions, and his body's internal energy suddenly burst forth, rushing towards Chang Feng at a speed like lightning.

  At this time, Lin Yan's eyebrows furrowed, and the large knife behind him suddenly flew out. In mid-air, a golden giant knife suddenly appeared, and with both hands controlling it, the golden great knife chopped down fiercely.

  Rumble...

  Lin Yan violently quit and went out, with fresh blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth. He stared at Yang Huan, who was motionless on the spot, and his heart was shocked to the extreme, "Has he broken through again?"

  "Haha......" Yang Huan sneered, saying: "Didn't expect that, did you? Haha...... Now that I've reached the fifth stage of cultivation, your first-stage cultivation skills aren't even worthy of being my opponent?"

  "Those who know what's good for them should leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
