971: Chapter 971 Opportunity Has Arrived _1 971: Chapter 971 Opportunity Has Arrived _1 “Where on earth has Long Yan gone?

It’s been so many days, and there’s still no news?”

In the Temple of Beasts, within the Courtyard, Lei Xiaotian muttered, his expression somewhat grave.

Lei Youyou, Li Yuanba, Mo Er, and Yu Wuxia all had serious looks on their faces.

Long Yan had disappeared for seven or eight days now with no news.

Their situation here was not very safe to begin with.

If something had happened to Long Yan…

“Could Lan Tianming have done something to our Sect Leader?”

Lei Youyou said softly.

They all knew that Long Yan had left with Lan Tianming.

Once Lan Tianming realized that Long Yan couldn’t activate the Ten Thousand Beast Heaven Slaughter Array, he would most likely make a move against Long Yan.

As soon as Long Yan died, Lan Tianming could assume the Palace Master’s position.

The possibility was too high.

“Impossible, my brother will be fine.”

In Yu Wuxia’s heart, Long Yan was invincible – nothing could happen to him.

“Anything Lan Tianming can think of, Master must have thought of too.

It’s not easy for Lan Tianming to deal with him.”

Li Yuanba also didn’t believe Long Yan had fallen into Lan Tianming’s trap.

“These are just our guesses.

To know what actually happened, we need to ask Lan Tianming.”

Lei Xiaotian said.

“Without the Sect Leader here, our movements are limited, let alone us meeting Lan Tianming.”

Mo Er chimed in.

They were not part of the Temple of Beasts.

It was indeed impossible to meet Lan Tianming.

“We may not be able to meet Lan Tianming, but Li Xingyun can.”

Li Yuanba suggested.

“Li Xingyun is here.”

Just at this moment, Lei Youyou looked up.

She had sensed a breath approaching, and sure enough, within a moment, Li Xingyun had walked in from outside the courtyard.

“I need to see the Palace Master.”

Li Xingyun said.

“Old man, you arrived at the right time, we have something to discuss with you.”

Lei Xiaotian addressed Li Xingyun.

“What is it?”

Li Xingyun asked.

Then, Lei Xiaotian explained the situation to Li Xingyun.

“What?”

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyun’s face changed drastically.

Long Yan had been gone for so long, and he had left with Lan Tianming – it wasn’t hard to imagine the predicament Long Yan was in.

“Great Elder, with your status, it should not be hard to meet Lan Tianming.

You could first try to probe Lan Tianming, and we will make a plan based on that.”

Li Yuanba said to Li Xingyun.

“Alright, I’ll go now.”

Li Xingyun did not dare to delay.

If Long Yan had fallen into Lan Tianming’s hands, the Temple of Beasts would be finished.

An hour later, Li Xingyun returned.

“Great Elder, what happened?”

Li Yuanba hastily asked.

Lei Xiaotian, Lei Youyou, Mo Er, and Yu Wuxia were all watching Li Xingyun closely.

“Lan Tianming said, our Sect Leader has already left the Beast Emperor Cliff to gather resources for the Temple of Beasts and is expected to return in a few days.”

After Li Xingyun finished speaking, he added, “However, I do not believe Lan Tianming’s words are reliable.”

Hearing this, the faces of Lei Xiaotian and the others turned grave instantly.

Lan Tianming’s words were absolutely untrustworthy.

If Long Yan had really left the Temple of Beasts to gather resources, he would have definitely informed them or even taken them along.

It was very likely that Long Yan had been trapped or imprisoned by Lan Tianming.

“So, what should we do?”

Mo Er asked.

“What else can we do?

We need to find a way to kill Lan Tianming.”

Lei Xiaotian said, with a face full of killing intent.

“No, we shouldn’t act rashly for now.

Master should be fine.

It’s more likely that he is just being controlled by Lan Tianming.”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuanba continued, “Given Master’s personality, he would definitely not hand over the Order of the Beast and the Beast Spirit Seal.

These two items are key to activating the Ten Thousand Beast Heaven Slaughter Array.

Lan Tianming would definitely try to obtain them.

Before he gets these two items, Master won’t be in mortal danger.”

Li Xingyun and Lei Xiaotian and the others agreed with Li Yuanba’s analysis.

“So do we just sit back and do nothing?”

Li Xingyun was very anxious.

If Long Yan was being controlled by Lan Tianming and Lan Tianming really obtained the Order of the Beast and the Beast Spirit Seal through some means, he certainly wouldn’t let Long Yan live.

At that time, the entire Temple of Beasts would be finished.

“Before Lan Tianming makes another move, we cannot alert him.

You should stay in the Temple of Beasts for now.

I’ll take a trip to the Zhenyang Sect; Master’s Avatar of the Chaos Sky Peng should be able to sense where Master is.”

Li Yuanba said.

With their strength, summoning Long Yan was impossible.

Only with the intervention of the Chaos Sky Peng would they have hope.

“I should be the one going back to the Zhenyang Sect instead, my speed is faster than yours.”

Lei Xiaotian suggested.

If he went all out, even those in the Nirvana Realm could rarely catch up with him.

…

Time passed by day by day.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Every three days, Long Yan would be brought to the Gu Pool by the man in the black robe to soak for half a day.

He had stolen quite a lot of lifeline power from the Gu Pool by now.

In secret, he was transforming this lifeline power into elixirs.

However, he had not found the right opportunity yet.

This situation couldn’t continue.

Suddenly, the two men in black robes came to his stone chamber again.

“A mere Great Dao Realm practitioner, and it’s been half a month, yet you haven’t been controlled by the Soul-Devouring Giant Gu yet.

Kid, if you can hold on for twenty days, I can spare you from one trip to the Gu Pool.”

The man in the black robe on the right spoke.

The other man in black had placed a bet with him that it would be twenty days.

As long as Long Yan could hold on for five more days, he would win the bet.

“Why waste time talking to him?

Just hurry up and throw him into the Gu Pool.”

The other man in the black robe glanced at Long Yan.

“I’ll go in by myself.”

Long Yan looked exhausted.

He struggled to get up, throwing the two men in black a fierce gaze, then slowly walked towards the depths.

The two men in black watched Long Yan with interest, not fearing any tricks he might pull.

With his strength sealed, Long Yan couldn’t even commit suicide if he wanted to.

Soon, Long Yan walked into the Evil Space.

“I won’t go in.

You throw him into the Gu Pool.”

The man in the black robe said to the other man in black.

“Damn it, you’re always slacking off.

You can pick him up by yourself later.”

The other man in black grumbled and then entered the Evil Space.

In the Evil Space,

Long Yan was about to enter the Gu Pool when he noticed only one man in black had entered.

A glimmer of hope lit in his eyes.

“My opportunity has finally come!”

This was the opportunity he needed.

Once he killed this man, he could assume his identity, making his subsequent actions much easier.

Long Yan turned around, his gaze landing on the man in the black robe, a smile slowly forming on his face.

“Kid, do you want to go in yourself, or do you want me to throw you in?”

The man in black hadn’t noticed Long Yan’s change of expression.

He just wanted to throw Long Yan into the Gu Pool and leave that place as soon as possible.

Standing there made him feel uncomfortable all over.
