Chapter 260 - 260 260 Evening Drum and Morning Bell

260: Chapter 260: Evening Drum and Morning Bell 260: Chapter 260: Evening Drum and Morning Bell After strolling around Lanling City for a while, something unexpected happened to Long Yan.

Leng Yuexi and Lingxi somehow found a common topic to talk about, and as they chatted, they became happier and more engaged, eventually ignoring Long Yan completely.

“The sky is cloudy, foggy, sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny!”

Long Yan couldn’t help but sigh.

Next, a dramatic scene took place: the two girls walked hand in hand ahead, looking left and right.

Anything they liked was put into their storage ring, while Long Yan followed behind, obediently paying the bills.

It wasn’t until dusk that the two girls returned to the courtyard, still not satisfied, and went into the same room together, not knowing what they were doing.

“Boss, how did you manage that?”

Fat Cat’s curious eyes stared at Long Yan, wondering how he had managed to appease the two girls.

“Secret!”

Long Yan raised his eyebrows and said mysteriously.

“Boss, you’re too #, you’ll get what’s coming to you later on.”

Fat Cat grinned maliciously, looking at Long Yan.

“Scoundrel, I’ll let you off this time!”

Just then, Leng Yuexi and Lingxi came out of the room at the same time.

Leng Yuexi said to Long Yan.

“This…”

Long Yan gave a dry laugh, took out a box, and said to Leng Yuexi, “Here’s a Water-element Fruit for you.”

He had obtained the Water-element Fruit on Nameless Sea Island and had prepared one for Leng Yuexi but had not had the chance to give it to her yet.

“Water-element Fruit.”

Leng Yuexi’s eyes lit up, and she quickly took the box, saying satisfactorily, “That’s more like it!”

As she cultivated Cold Ice Qi, this Water-element Fruit was indeed a treasure for her.

“Third Brother, impressive!”

At this moment, Long Chen and Zhan Wushuang happened to return and saw that the conflict had been resolved.

They both gave Long Yan a thumbs up.

“You guys are just in time.

I wanted to ask you something.”

Long Yan said.

“What is it?”

Everyone sat down in the courtyard, their expressions turning serious.

“I heard that there’s a place called Bell Drum Cliff in Lanling City, which is supposed to open tomorrow.

Do you know anything about it?”

Long Yan asked.

He had accidentally overheard someone mentioning it and had kept it in mind.

“I know.”

Leng Yuexi said, “Bell Drum Cliff is a special place in Lanling City.

It is said to have existed a long time ago and has a natural artistic conception.

Practicing there yields twice the results with half the effort.”

“Really?”

Long Yan raised his eyebrows.

If that was true, Bell Drum Cliff would indeed be a treasure trove.

“In Lanling City, there has always been a rumor.”

Leng Yuexi said, “According to the rumor, Bell Drum Cliff is connected to the Evening Drum and Morning Bell.

When the nine bell drum sounds ring out, heavenly phenomena will descend.”

“Evening Drum and Morning Bell.”

Hearing this, Long Yan and the others felt that the rumor was somewhat far-fetched.

The Evening Drum and Morning Bell were legendary artifacts.

How could they be here?

If they were, they would have been taken away by someone else long ago.

“Actually, not many people believe in the rumor now.

Every time the Lanling Grand Meeting is held, Lanling City opens Bell Drum Cliff, allowing young martial artists to enter and try to ring the Evening Drum and Morning Bell.

However, no one has succeeded yet.”

Leng Yuexi said.

“Bell Drum Cliff sounds interesting.

Let’s check it out tomorrow.”

…

The next day, Long Yan and the others arrived at Bell Drum Cliff.

There were no fewer than 50,000 people who came to Bell Drum Cliff, all young martial artists, flying towards Bell Drum Cliff one after another.

“Is this Bell Drum Cliff?”

From a distance, two towering peaks rose into the clouds.

The peak on the left appeared like a giant bell, its imposing presence dominating the vast mountains and rivers.

On the right was a drum, which seemed capable of making the heavens and earth resonate when struck.

Between the two mountains was a massive canyon that could accommodate a hundred thousand people.

At this moment, many were sitting in meditation within the canyon, their expressions strained, but it was unclear what the cause of their pain was.

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Then, Long Yan and his companions flew towards the canyon.

There were many people in the canyon, including members from the Five Great Powers, as well as familiar faces like Jin Jiansheng, Kill Wuji, and Leng Jiuyou.

Experts from Lanling City were guarding the canyon, ensuring that no one could cause any disturbances, and thus allowing everyone to safely meditate and cultivate.

“Let’s find a place to try it out as well.”

Long Yan and his friends found an empty spot, sat cross-legged, and attempted to connect with the natural Artistic Conception of the place.

“I want to see what’s so special about this natural Artistic Conception here.”

Long Yan closed his eyes and began to release his Divine Sense.

“Hmm?”

In an instant, an overwhelming oppressive force surged towards him, and a strange scene unfolded before his eyes.

The heavens and earth were silent, with an endless aura of desolation spreading throughout the void.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the sound of bells and drums reverberated through the heavens and earth, and all creation seemed to be wailing.

Billions of thunderbolts rampaged in the sky above, forming countless illusions.

The lands and mountains, birds and beasts, starry river, and the heavens and earth itself seemed to be on the verge of destruction under this sound of bells and drums.

“Not good!”

At the same time, the terrifying oppressive force bore down on Long Yan, looking to crush him to pieces.

This seemed to be an authority originating from the heavens and earth, demanding that all things in the world submit and not dare to resist.

Long Yan’s legs trembled, his soul shuddered, and the horrifying pressure threatened to force him to his knees and reduce him to a speck of dust in the world.

“No, I will not submit!”

“It’s just an Artistic Conception, and you dare try to twist my Dao Heart!”

“My destiny is determined by me, not by the heavens!

If the heavens want to destroy me, then I shall defy them!”

At this moment, an endless fighting spirit erupted from Long Yan’s eyes.

Facing the destructive power, he straightened his body and challenged the heavens and earth.

“Kill!”

A single word, ‘Kill,’ rolled out from his throat like thunder.

Then he grabbed out, and the Dragon Tooth appeared in his hand.

With a powerful slash, he tore the space apart.

His strength was like an insignificant leaf in the violent storm before the overpowering destructive force.

He was on the verge of capsizing in the raging tempest.

“In this life, I, Long Yan, will not submit to a mere Artistic Conception!”

An even more robust fighting spirit surged from his eyes.

At this moment, Long Yan had forgotten himself, slashing out relentlessly, dispelling the destructive force before him.

After countless strikes, his arm had lost all feeling.

However, his fighting spirit grew even more intense, solidifying to the point of becoming tangible, and even consuming the destructive force.

“Break!”

Suddenly, Long Yan roared, letting out an endless fighting spirit from his heart.

It transformed into a heaven-piercing blade light.

With a single slash, the heavens and earth, as well as the destructive power, were crushed to pieces.

“Huh…’

Long Yan took a deep breath, the corner of his mouth revealing a charming grin.

“Boom!”

However, at this moment, the sound of the bell and drum rang again, lingering and resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

The skies darkened as a more terrifying destructive will swept through.

This will engulfed everything, transforming countless stars into illusions, inch by inch the world was breaking apart as if the collapse of an era had arrived.

Billions of thunderbolts rampaged in the void, devouring everything.

Just as the heavens and earth were on the verge of destruction and about to return to chaos, the countless thunderbolts converged, forming a giant of thunder.

Its face was indistinguishable, but the oppressive force it emanated could make the heavens and earth tremble.

Suddenly, the thunderous giant approached Long Yan.

With each step it took, Long Yan felt as if his heart stopped beating.

In front of the thunderous giant, he was as insignificant as an ant.
