Chapter 923: Chapter 814: Difficult to Predict Fortune or Misfortune (Make-up 10)

Outside the Holy Land, most cultivators were closely watching, staring at the mirage-like reflection above the Investiture of the Gods list, until the figures of Ye Fan and Su Liuli vanished one after another.

"Oh my god! What on earth happened?"

"How could there be a Forbidden Land within the Trial Holy Land?"

"What kind of place is this Forbidden Land? What dangers might it hold?"

...

The Holy Land was once again boiling with excitement, and the spectators and cultivators in the canyon erupted in exclamations.

Not just them, but even the strong people from the War God Alliance in the sky wore expressions of shock.

Even Yan and Xu Tianqi, the Supreme Strongmen, were surprised.

Though they could jointly open the Bei Hai Holy Land, it was their first time opening the final stage Holy Land; they hadn’t known there would be a Forbidden Land within!

Yan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, his expression showing a hint of seriousness, as the development had completely surpassed his expectations. He worried that Ye Fan and others might face unforeseen crises inside.

Due to the rules of the Bei Hai Holy Land, he and the other strong people were simply unable to enter to rescue.

Compared to Yan, Zhe Xuanji appeared even more worried!

He had absolute confidence in Ye Fan’s strength, believing Ye Fan could overwhelm all young geniuses. But at the same time, he knew, according to notes from the Ancient Cultivation World, that so-called Forbidden Lands were places of great peril, and those who entered were likely to face Nine Deaths and One Life!

For Xu Tianqi, Anton, and the clan leaders Mei Luo of the Luoke Family and Rodriguez of the Huang Jin Family, it was a mix of joy and concern!

Joy because their protégés temporarily escaped the danger of being killed by Ye Fan.

Concern because they couldn’t predict what unknown dangers the Forbidden Land might hold, worrying it might bring fatal harm to their protégés!

"Xu Wudao, Andre, and Anton truly are geniuses! They came up with the brilliant idea of hiding in the Forbidden Land to evade Ye Zi’s reckoning, truly deserving the title of Supreme Geniuses!"

As everyone was debating over the matter of Ye Fan and the others entering the Forbidden Land, such a comment suddenly emerged from the crowd.

Boom!

The crowd burst into laughter; this guy’s words were far too sarcastic. It was intended to provoke Xu Tianqi and the others, making them furious!

Following the voice, everyone’s gaze naturally fell on Lv Zhan, who was smugly winking at Xu Tianqi and the others—unlike Yan and Zhe Xuanji, he wasn’t worried about Ye Fan’s safety; he had blind faith in Ye Fan, believing not only would Ye Fan survive the Forbidden Land, but he might even gain great opportunities.

Lv Zhan’s words were undeniably sharp; even at this moment, calling the three Xu Wudao geniuses seemed like a slap in the face!

Can geniuses be chased until they lack the courage to fight, desperately fleeing like stray dogs, frantically diving into a Forbidden Land like fish through a leak?

Upon hearing Lv Zhan’s words, and seeing his gloating demeanor, Xu Tianqi’s face turned ashen, as though he were about to drip water from his dark expression.

Mei Luo and Rodriguez’s faces also turned grim; at this time, calling their protégés geniuses was indirectly suggesting Ye Fan was even stronger.

Driving Supreme Geniuses to the point of having no courage to fight, chasing them directly into the Forbidden Land—everyone who wasn’t blind could see that Lv Zhan’s words were more mockery than praise, like slapping the faces of three old gentlemen!

But Xu Tianqi and the others couldn’t refute him at all, swallowing their bitterness silently.

However—

Despite that hint of anger, their concerns were greater!

They were worried both that their protégés might encounter unsolvable troubles within the Golden Land and that Ye Fan might clash with them.

Considering Ye Fan’s display of strength during Mo Ke’s slaying, it wasn’t difficult to determine that Ye Fan’s might had reached a terrifying level; it was certainly possible for him alone to crush Xu Wudao and the others.

This was the reason their hearts had been in their throats before!

Ordinary cultivators, meanwhile, didn’t care about the fate of Xu Wudao, Andre, and Anton, but had varied opinions on Ye Fan’s decision.

Some believed Xu Wudao, Andre, and Anton, unable to escape Ye Fan’s pursuit, could only make a desperate gamble, using a dead horse as if it were living medicine, by hiding in the Forbidden Land; understanding such sentiments was possible.

But regarding Ye Fan also rushing into the Forbidden Land, they were particularly puzzled.

Note that there wasn’t much time left until the end of the finals; all Ye Fan had to do was guard the entrance to the Forbidden Land, and Xu Wudao and the others wouldn’t safely emerge from it.

This approach of waiting for the rabbit was optimal, but unexpectedly, after some thinking, Ye Fan ultimately chose to chase them into the Forbidden Land. _{fre ewe bnove l.com}

In their view, this was certainly a case of adding unnecessary moves; following them was needless risk-taking.

However, some cultivators held differing opinions, deeming Ye Fan’s actions necessary, remembering the insolence of Xu Wudao and others before the competition, bragging about hunting Ye Fan like prey, even treating it as a competitive game.

Such humiliation couldn’t be tolerated by any sensible person; had Ye Fan not been strong, he would have surely been their hunting target, mocked like cats play with mice.

However, since Ye Fan now had the ability to kill them, naturally he should not let them go. Chasing them into the Forbidden Land was also a normal occurrence.

"Leader Yan, how is there a Forbidden Land within the Trial Holy Land? What unknown dangers exist in the Forbidden Land?"

Sect Leader Cang Bo of the Tian Shan Sword Sect couldn’t help but ask Yan, expressing the concern of everyone present. For a moment, all the cultivators in Bei Hai Canyon focused their gaze on Yan.

Yan laughed bitterly and said, "I don’t know either. It’s well-known that previous Hidden God List tournaments were usually arena battles. This is the first time the Holy Land has been opened, so no one knows why there is a Forbidden Land in the Holy Land, or what dangers lurk there."

"However, since it is a Forbidden Land, it must not be a benign place, or the ancients wouldn’t have called it a Forbidden Land. Let’s just hope they come out safely."

Upon hearing Leader Yan’s words, everyone exchanged looks. Even Leader Yan didn’t know what was in the Forbidden Land, and now they couldn’t use the Investiture of the Gods to observe Ye Fan and the others’ situation; all they could do was pray silently.

...

The cultivators outside the Holy Land gradually fell silent, while inside the Holy Land, Ye Fan and Su Liuli also entered the Forbidden Land, disappearing completely from the Investiture of the Gods.

Upon entering the Forbidden Land, Ye Fan and Su Liuli felt a moment of dizziness, as if blood-red light wove in front of them.

In just a moment, the two of them found themselves within the Forbidden Land. Looking back, there was a bottomless, slowly rotating black vortex behind them, resembling a black hole in the universe.

Hmm?

The two furrowed their brows slightly and then carefully observed the surrounding environment, simultaneously trying to sense the aura of the Xu Wudao trio.

However—

Ye Fan couldn’t sense any aura from the Xu Wudao trio. In front of him was a vast desolation, and he and Su Liuli found themselves standing at the edge of a cliff, utterly unsure of how they suddenly arrived there.

"Awooo..."

In the distance, the faint roars of mutant beasts reached them, mingling with various screams, the sound of wind, flowing water, and so on, creating a scene of desolate wilderness.

If he didn’t know he was in the Forbidden Land, Ye Fan might have suspected he had traveled through time back to the Ancient Primordial Period.

"Ye Fan, look over there, what’s that?"

As she gradually adapted, Su Liuli also started to look around, suddenly noticing a small black dot spiraling in the far-off sky.

Ye Fan focused his eye power and looked in the direction Su Liuli pointed, immediately taking a deep breath and murmured, "That looks like the legendary Kunpeng! Only much smaller than the legend."

After focusing his eye power, Ye Fan saw that the spiraling small black dot was indeed a large bird, which seemed to be clutching a bull about ten feet long in its talons.

Judging from the glossy dark horns, this bull must also be a creature with developed Spiritual Wisdom, its strength not weak, yet it had become food for the bird, indicating this bird had an even stronger cultivation.

"Kunpeng? Could it be that such a legendary creature really exists in this world?"

Su Liuli was well aware of what Kunpeng signified.

In Zhuangzi’s Carefree Travel, it was recorded: In the North Sea, there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so huge, no one knows how many thousand miles it measures. It turns into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng’s back is so vast, no one knows how many thousand miles it measures. When it is angry and flies, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. When the ocean transports it, it will migrate to the Southern Netherworld. And the Southern Netherworld is the Heavenly Pond.

According to Zhuangzi’s description, the size of Kunpeng was outrageously massive, so much so that most people didn’t believe such a creature could exist in this world, dismissing it as Zhuangzi’s imagination.

Now, Ye Fan claimed that this bird closely resembled the legendary Kunpeng; how could she not be amazed?

"Let’s go; this place is full of hidden dangers. We must be extremely careful. Before we find them, we must first ensure our safety."

Ye Fan took just one glance and no longer looked at the bird, instead calling for Su Liuli to move forward with him. He had no idea that after entering the Forbidden Land, those outside couldn’t even determine whether they were alive or dead.

After a quarter-hour, the two arrived by a pool at the foot of a hillside, where the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was incredibly dense, hundreds, or even thousands of times more than that of the outside world!

The surrounding area was filled with an exotic fragrance, and some precious Spiritual Medicine could be seen blooming in the grass.

"This is simply an ideal Holy Land for cultivators!"

Su Liuli exclaimed in awe. No one had expected that the Forbidden Land would be so full of Spiritual Medicine, with such dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

"Humans, you have great courage to intrude into my territory. Prepare to die!"

As the two were marveling, a heavy, muffled voice suddenly echoed in their minds, and at the same time, a bulky, red-furred bear came lumbering out of a tree hole, facing the two from afar.

Mid-stage War God Realm Mutant Beast!

Ye Fan and Su Liuli had just entered the Forbidden Land when they encountered a Mid-stage War God Realm Mutant Beast!

Moreover, by sensing its aura, the two were almost certain that the strength of the red bear in front of them was much greater than that of the Mid-stage War God Realm Mutant Beasts on the Holy Mountain!
