"Haha! Not bad! But Yang Yan, whether this can bind the Pill Sect entirely depends on you!"
Lin An smiled aningfully.
After all, Yang Yan is innately talented, with extraordinary strength of his own, and his future is limitless.
The other sects might ignore the Ancient Abyss Sect, but they can’t ignore Yang Yan!
"Indeed, we should pause in the innermost circle! But I’m afraid the other sects won’t dare let us stop!" Lin An said solemnly.
Yang Yan understood imdiately.
Sect Leader Lin An is speaking of ’not daring’, but he himself has a rather strong subjective consciousness.
The other sects will definitely watch all his actions now, but their actions won’t be too significant.
Because there’s still one thing tantalizing them.
That is the strangeness of the Land of the North Cold!
The leadership of each sect has secretly speculated that there must be an extraordinary treasure inside.
Yang Yan can always be dealt with, but once the treasure is missed, it will never co back.
Yang Yan gave Lin An a glance, yet Elder Dugu nearby still couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation.
"So, this ti, should we persist in staying or leave?" Elder Dugu couldn’t help but ask.
"Leave!"
Yang Yan smiled and said confidently.
Now all sects can only proceed cautiously; surely, they’d prefer bringing more people in to take risks!
In that case, the Ancient Abyss Sect has to go in together.
Otherwise, people might suspect the Ancient Abyss Sect of sitting back to reap the benefits without taking part.
...
"Sect Leader Lin, what are your thoughts on the innermost circle?" the Sword Sect Leader suddenly asked.
"Certainly, it’s best to enter together with the strength of all ten sects! But I wonder where are the other four sects located?" Lin An, as if knowing the question beforehand, replied matter-of-factly.
"Should be not far from here!" the Sword Sect Leader smiled slightly, appearing very sure.
Before his voice fell, the other four sects appeared on one side of the Pill Sect.
Beside him, Lin Zimu whispered in Yang Yan’s ear:
"Look! The one led by the female sect leader is the Celestial Sound Sect!"
"And the one with the long beard is the Lingying Sect Leader, with Hengshan Sect to the side."
"The one who hasn’t been introduced yet and looks quite beautiful is the Lenghe Sect Leader!"
At the disciple recruitnt ceremony that day, although the sect leaders were supposed to be present, Yang Yan, as the focus, surely didn’t pay much attention to others.
This was the case even for the sect leaders of various large sects.
"Lenghe Sect Leader!"
Yang Yan focused eighty percent of his gaze on him.
The Wandering Dragon Star Mirror also ntioned this sect leader briefly.
With no ulterior motives, just finding him too beautiful!
Even Baihua Fairy, known for her beauty, pales in comparison before him.
When Yang Yan initially read the passage, he didn’t take it to heart.
But upon seeing this person’s gorgeous appearance, he felt the descriptions in the Wandering Dragon Star Mirror didn’t do him justice!
He was simply a demonic existence.
Comparing Baihua Fairy and him, they are similar in looks, but this man can only be described as captivatingly charming.
While Yang Yan was observing him, his gaze also assessed Yang Yan!
Regarding the Saint Son of the Ancient Abyss Sect, he only had one encounter during the disciple recruitnt ceremony, but Yang Yan’s appearance was etched in his mory.
Seeing the simultaneous appearance of these four sects, the leaders of the other six sects imdiately went to greet the Pill Sect.
No matter what, face must always be given.
Latecors are guests, therefore those who arrived earlier should go to welco them.
"Dai, it’s been a while!" The Sword Sect Leader first greeted the Lenghe Sect Leader.
"Haha! Xu!" The Lenghe Sect Leader cupped his hand in response, familiarly.
"Old Xu seeing Old Dai is like a mouse seeing rice—overjoyed!" The Yizheng Sect Leader couldn’t help but tease.
A person resembling an elder beside him imdiately chid in: "I reckon both haven’t been married yet, waiting for each other maybe?"
"Haha! Just joking, just joking!" The Lenghe Sect Leader naturally heard their conversation, giving a cold glance but speaking casually.
As if it were a joke.
"Greetings, Sect Leader Lin! The Ancient Abyss Sect is indeed flourishing!" The Celestial Sound Sect Leader hurriedly changed the subject to avoid internal conflict, chuckling as he cupped his hands to Lin An.
Those aware of the two’s grievances laughed without saying anything.
But Lin An simply sneered and didn’t reply.
"Sect Leader Lin remains as aloof as before, indeed!" The Celestial Sound Sect Leader stared into Lin An’s eyes:
"I’ve heard the Ancient Abyss Sect’s Saint Son is remarkable, a disciple of mine who fell short wishes to see the Saint Son’s magnificence, wanting to spar!"
Evidently, Lin An couldn’t let her shift the focus and had to laugh heartily:
"Thanks for Sect Leader Lan’s complint. But the most urgent concern now should be eliminating demons! Opportunities for battles are aplenty in the future, no need to rush!"
While strings were being pulled outside, the situation at the battlefield center was increasingly alarming.
Pale black demonic qi tightly surrounded ancient structures vaguely visible within.
"Why do I suddenly feel an urge to kill!"
One disciple’s eyes turned bloodshot, filled with viciousness.
But he still managed to suppress his bloodthirsty desire for the ti being!
"It’s evil qi!" The Sword Sect Leader’s face was sowhat solemn, perceiving the strangeness himself.
No one expected the treasure to turn out to be evil qi!
Yet, historically, evil qi affecting so many fierce beasts was unheard of.
"Demon Sect! It’s the Ancient Demon Sect!"
In another direction, Lin Hao was extraordinarily excited.
He felt sothing inside was calling him.
This aura had a bloodline connection with the cultivation technique he practiced, making him restless.
This was his opportunity!
It must not be missed.
"If not for this evil qi being absorbed mostly by the beasts, perhaps we wouldn’t be standing here rationally!"
Sect Leader Lin An analyzed with furrowed brows.
"This might be the Demon Cave recorded in historical texts!" Sect Leader He similarly frowned, sowhat unsure as he spoke.
"Oh! Sect Leader He, would love to hear more!" Lin An imdiately pursued.
Sect Leader He pondered a mont before saying: "I too, by coincidence, ca across a record in a damaged script in my sect."
"As you know, our Lingying Sect is the only one among the ten sects passed down since ancient tis."
"Although my sect has been through nurous wars and many historical texts have been lost, coincidentally, this one recorded the Demon Cave sect!"
"And the current scene resembles the depiction in the texts closely! Hence, I’m sixty to seventy percent sure this is the sect described in those records."
At this point, Sect Leader He suddenly looked around cautiously, then slowly spoke in a lower voice:
"Seven-angled pinnacle, lingering evil qi, around the Demon Cave, grasses change color!"
Yang Yan raised his head and indeed, as Sect Leader He ntioned, the architecture truly had seven angles.
