At this moment, almost all the ancient beasts in the entire beast nest had disappeared.
In the vast beast nest, in the middle of the empty woods, there was only that dark figure, hovering in mid-air like a ghost.
After devouring the dozen ancient beasts, the dark figure’s blood-red eyes flickered violently, as if he was digesting something.
And as his eyes flickered, a surprising scene occurred.
The dark figure’s size had rapidly increased in size at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It seemed that all those ancient beasts that he had devoured had been assimilated by him at this moment, becoming the nourishment for his growth!
A few moments later, the dark figure’s size had actually become nearly twice as large compared to before, and his entire body appeared even more massive.
“Roar!!!”
A shocking roar came out of this dark figure’s mouth, echoing in the open woods.
Just at that moment.
“Ka-chow!”
There was a crunching sound.
On the far side of the woods, a lone Fire-Eyed Tyrant Tiger walked out from behind a large tree with a piece of bone in its mouth.
When he saw the scene in front of him, he froze for a moment in uncertainty, and the bone in his mouth fell straight to the ground.
The dark figure, however, did not hesitate, directly opening its mouth again and charging directly towards the fire-eyed tiger.
This Fire-Eyed Tyrant Tiger was originally a powerful king in this beast’s nest, but at this moment, in front of the dark figure, he was so frightened that he was like a frightened sheep, pulling out his legs and running away.
However, the dark figure did not give him any chance to escape.
Before he could take a single step, the dark figure had already attacked behind him.
“Ah-ho ……”
The fire-eyed tiger only let out a short scream before it was completely devoured by the dark figure!
After doing all this, this dark figure’s gaze only turned back to look at the Lai Nan behind him.
At this moment, Li Nan was still in a deep coma.
However, in this coma, it seemed that Li Nan’s subconscious mind was able to sense something.
What had just happened in the outside world was as if it was an ethereal dream for Li Nan.
He dreamt that his consciousness followed something like a spirit and drifted away from his body, just like the special experience of a dying person.
Li Nan could feel that it did not seem to be his own soul, or, to be more precise, it was not just his own soul.
In this dream-like experience, it was as if Li Nan’s consciousness was standing as a mere spectator, and he had no control over what the dark spirit was doing, but could only observe.
However, in his subconscious mind, Li Nan had already made some judgement about all this.
It was because a similar state had occurred to Li Nan before, except that at that time, the power had only appeared in the form of a consciousness, and not as a soul entity.
To put it simply, the power hidden inside Le Nam’s body had become much stronger than before!
And that mysterious power, Li Nan already had a judgement in his mind.
The Yin God!
This dark figure was none other than the one hidden in the Yin God’s Almanac, the Yin God!
As for how all this had happened, Li Nan was not capable of considering it now.
In fact, at this moment, Li Nan’s consciousness was already very fuzzy, and it was already very difficult to still be able to feel all this in the outside world.
At this moment, after taking a glance back at Li Nan on the ground, that Yin God did not hesitate any longer and directly flew up.
His huge dark figure directly disconnected from Li Nan’s physical body and instantly flew out of the beast nest.
Immediately afterwards, the Yin God flew ten thousand metres into the air, like a huge black cloud, and chased after the tide of beasts at an extremely fast speed.
Two hours later, the Sword Desolate Ancient Land, the pass.
At this moment, there were already hundreds of disciples guarding the gate of the ancient land.
Compared to the interior of the Sword Desolate Ancient Land, this place seemed extremely peaceful, as news that the Ape Djinn had awakened had not yet reached here.
Just at that moment.
“Whoosh!”
A cracking sound was the first to come from the air.
The disciples in charge of guarding the pass raised their heads and instantly saw a figure covered in blood, coming towards them in a slight panic.
“It’s Elder Hu!”
Those disciples immediately recognised the identity of the other party, who was no other than Hu Xiuyong.
“Close the city gates! Quickly prepare to close the city gates!!!”
Hu Xiuyong shouted at those guarding disciples from afar.
Hu Xiuyong had fought with all his might to get here as fast as he could, and he was already exhausted and weak at the moment.
However, he was still a little thankful that he had made it back in time.
Hu Xiuyong knew very well that the gates of the Sword Wasteland had special prohibitions that were constructed by the ancestral greats of the Divine Martial Sword Sect.
As long as the gates were closed and the ban activated, it would not be easy for the Ape Djinn to get out of the Sword Wasteland even if he had great strength!
When those disciples heard Hu Xiuyong’s words, they immediately realized what was going on. It seemed that something big had already happened in the Sword Wasteland, otherwise, they wouldn’t have caused Elder Hu to panic so much!
“Quickly, prepare to close the city gates!”
One of the inner disciples in charge of guarding this gate hurriedly gave the order.
However, just as those disciples were about to close the city gates.
“Wait a moment!”
A voice slowly sounded out from behind them.
When the crowd turned around to look, they saw a figure already standing behind them.
It was no one else, it was none other than Eldest Brother, Wu Zi Yu!
“Eldest Brother!”
“Eldest Brother!”
The crowd hurriedly said respectfully.
Wu Ziyu ignored them and said with an ironic expression on his face, “We still have hundreds of brothers and sisters in the Sword Wasteland, now that we are closing the gates, are we not going to get them killed? What on earth do we have in mind?”
Wu Ziyu’s voice held a rebuke in his eyes.
When those disciples heard the words, they all trembled in fear and hurriedly stopped their movements.
“Senior Brother, it’s not us, it’s Elder Hu’s order!”
The inner sect disciple in charge of the guard pointed at Hu Xiuyong in the distant air and hurriedly explained.
Wu Ziyu only glanced at the distant Hu Xiuyong and said casually, “Don’t worry about it, I will discuss it with Elder Hu later!”
When the crowd heard this, they did not dare to make any more rash moves.
A few moments later, Hu Xiuyong flew down to the city gate.
When he saw that the disciples present were not ready to close the gates, he became completely furious.
“What’s wrong with you all, didn’t you hear what I said, I told you to close the gates!
Hu Xiuyong shouted angrily at the disciples.
Those disciples lowered their heads, all of them did not dare to say anything, and their eyes looked at Wu Ziyu at the side.
Although in the sect, Hu Xiuyong, who was an elder, had a higher status than Wu Ziyu, however, as the sect’s senior brother, Wu Ziyu’s appeal among the disciples below was higher, so these disciples were all asking questions.
At this moment, Wu Ziyu stepped forward and came directly in front of Hu Xiuyong.
“Elder Hu, can I borrow a step to talk?”
Wu Ziyu said with a respectful face.
“Speak? What else is there to say? Do you know that that Ape Djinn has already emerged from the world and is leading a huge army towards us to kill him at this moment! If we are one step late, I am afraid that my entire Divine Martial Sword Sect will be completely plunged into a catastrophe!!!”
Hu Xiuyong was so anxious and angry that his eyes looked like they were about to burst into flames!
“What? The Ape Djinn is out of this world? An army is coming to kill?
Those disciples at the side were all completely stunned for a moment when they heard the words.
Wu Ziyu’s face, on the other hand, was as calm as ever.
“Elder Hu, what is being said is very urgent, but there are still some crucial matters that I need to discuss with Elder Hu, so I would like to ask Elder Hu to move.”
Wu Ziyu pointed to a side room and said in a very respectful manner.
“……”
Hu Xiuyong’s heart was burning at this moment, but he saw that Wu Ziyu did not look like he was joking with him, so he did not think much about it and only walked quickly towards that room.
In his opinion, if he could get Wu Zi Yu to finish his words as soon as possible, then he might as well have the gates closed as soon as possible.
Hu Xiuyong led the way into the room first, and Wu Ziyu followed behind him, closing the door directly behind him.
“Tell me quickly, what is it? Better hurry up, or else ……”
As soon as Hu Xiuyong entered the door, he directly said directly and impatiently.
Only, before he could even finish this sentence, Wu Zi Yu turned around and directly stabbed out with a sword.
“Pfft!”
There was a muffled sound.
Hu Xiuyong’s heart was directly pierced.
“……”
Hu Xiuyong was terrified and raised his head to look at Wu Ziyu with an incredulous expression.
How could he not figure out why this junior leader, the sect’s senior brother Wu Ziyu, in front of him, would do such a thing to him?
At this moment, however, Wu Ziyu’s face only wore a grim smile.
“Elder Hu, just go down first. Don’t worry, very soon, I will make the entire Divine Martial Sword Sect, all go down with to be buried with them!”
Wu Ziyu said in a cold voice.
“…………”
Hu Xiuyong was shocked to the core.
He did not expect that this backstabber, the clan’s eldest senior brother, would be a wolf and ambitious person!
Originally, with Hu Xiuyong’s strength, even Wu Ziyu would not have been able to get his hands on him so easily.
But the desperate flight on this journey had long since depleted all of Hu Xiuyong’s strength, plus Wu Ziyu had struck suddenly, so Hu Xiuyong simply did not have any chance to react.
“Go to hell in peace!”
Wu Ziyu said, his hands fiercely launched a force, Hu Xiuyong’s heart, almost completely broken open.
Hu Xiuyong no longer had any breath and directly fell to the ground with a poof.
His eyes were filled with resignation!
