972: Chapter 972 Secret Action_1 972: Chapter 972 Secret Action_1 “Or perhaps I should throw you in.”

Long Yan slowly uttered the phrase, the murderous intent in his eyes completely unhidden.

The man in the black robe was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

However, in the next moment, Long Yan abruptly threw himself at him.

His overpowering True Yang Power crushed everything in its path, presenting a stark contrast from his previous demeanor.

The intense aura sent the man in the black robe’s heart aflutter, causing the smile on his face to freeze completely.

“You…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Long Yan’s hand had landed on his chest, unleashing a powerful surge of force on his body that instantly extinguished the man’s life force.

This black-clothed man was merely in the Great Dao Realm.

He stood no chance against Long Yan, let alone that he was caught completely off guard.

Having dispatched the man swiftly, Long Yan took the black robe off the man’s body, put it on himself, then flung the man’s corpse into the Gu Pool.

The man in the black robe was now nothing more than a corpse.

After half a day, he would likely be reduced to mere bones and be unrecognizable.

“Mission accomplished.”

After disguising himself as the black-clothed man, Long Yan left the Evil Space.

“Qin Ye, what the hell took you so long?”

The black-clothed man outside the Evil Space berated Long Yan.

Qin Ye, was the name of the black-clothed man Long Yan had killed.

“You think I’m slow?

Then why didn’t you go?”

Long Yan retorted.

“Oh, Qin Ye, do you have an itch to be scratched again?”

The black-clothed man rolled up his sleeves, preparing to strike.

“You’re welcome to try!”

Long Yan’s tone turned cold.

The black-clothed man was startled, sensing that something was amiss, then coldly snorted: “I’ll let you off this time.”

With that, the black-clothed man departed, and Long Yan followed towards a certain place.

Very quickly, the two arrived at a spacious stone chamber.

The walls of the stone chamber were embedded with several strands of Top Quality Spiritual Veins, filled with rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Inside the stone chamber, dozen-odd black-clothed men were seated cross-legged.

Upon secretly probing, Long Yan found that the strongest among them was an Ancient Emperor.

Apart from him, there were two in the Nirvana Realm, five in the Breaking Boundary Realm, and seven in the Myriad Forms Realm.

The black-robed man slain by Long Yan and the one next to him were the weakest among them, belonging only to the Great Dao Realm.

“Who exactly are these people?

Lan Tianming’s support is definitely not simple.”

Long Yan mused in silence.

If not for the lack of time, he would definitely have extracted the memories of the black-clothed man, then he would understand everything.

“How’s that kid doing?”

A figure in the Nirvana Realm slightly lifted his head and asked, naturally inquiring about Long Yan’s situation.

“The kid’s torment is almost over.

In a few more days, the Soul-Devouring Giant Gu should be able to control him.”

The black-clothed man next to Long Yan responded.

“That brat can’t die, otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to justify it to the Law Protector.”

The figure in the Nirvana Realm instructed, then continued to cultivate with his eyes closed.

Right then, both Long Yan and the black-clothed man sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

In secret, Long Yan continued to activate the Heavenly Dragon Talisman, absorbing the Power of Time within his body.

Shortly thereafter, half a day had passed.

“It’s about time.

We should go and pull that brat out.”

Long Yan said to the black-clothed man in the Great Dao Realm.

They left the cultivation chamber, and in no time, they found themselves back in the Evil Space.

“Where is he?”

Long Yan feigned panic and rushed to the edge of the Gu Pool.

In secret, a smile played around his mouth.

Right as he had predicted, only the bones of the man in black remained after being devoured by the evil force.

All presence had been wiped out by the evil force.

“How is this possible?”

The man in the black robe was also showing signs of panic.

Long Yan was vital, someone that had to be controlled, not killed.

“What a disaster this is, what do we do now?”

The man in the black robe was at a loss for awhile.

If Long Yan was dead, there would be no way to explain to Lan Tianming, their lives would be in danger.

“Don’t rush.”

Long Yan said, “If we give them this news, our lives would surely be in danger.

We should hide this initially and find an excuse, just say that kid escaped.”

What he had to do right now was to buy time.

As soon as the other robed men discovered the news, his life would be in danger, let alone saving the others in the Temple of Beasts.

“Are you sure this will work?”

The man in the black robe looked at Long Yan with skepticism, as he had no idea what to do himself.

“This is the only way, unless you want to die?”

Long Yan spoke.

The man in the black robe pondered for a while, then agreed on it, “Okay, Qin Ye, I’ll listen to you.

This time, we’re both in this together.”

“Collect this man’s bones.

They’ll be useful later.”

Long Yan signaled to the man in the black robe to collect the skeleton from the Gu Pool.

The man in the black robe wielded a Legal Imprint, dispelled the evil force with it, and retrieved a complete skeleton from the Gu Pool.

“Remember, we absolutely must keep the news from them.

I’ll think of a way to fabricate the illusion that he escaped.”

Long Yan told the man in the black robe, “Also, you should immediately return to the practice room.

When I have a plan, I will notify you.

All you need to do is cooperate with me.”

The man in the black robe nodded and then asked, “Are you sure you can manage this?”

He was still somewhat worried.

Severer consequences awaited them if their superiors found out that they had concealed the news.

“I don’t want to die, I’ll do my best.”

Long Yan spoke with confidence.

“Brother, I am entrusting my life to you.”

With those final words spoken in a low voice, the man in the black robe departed.

“Time to act.”

After the man in the black robe left, Long Yan headed straight towards the depths.

The Four Heavenly Monarchs were deep inside.

Long Yan was incredibly fast, reaching the deepest part in no time.

“Where could these Four Heavenly Monarchs be?”

Long Yan reached the depths and inspected several stone chambers, but found no sight of the Four Heavenly Monarchs.

Although he didn’t recognize the Four Heavenly Monarchs, their cultivation levels were definitely not below that of the Ancient Emperor.

“Ah, there is a hidden Prohibition here.”

After a careful search, Long Yan discovered a hidden Prohibition.

If not for his strong intuition, it would not have been easy to detect its existence.

“Vermilion Bird True Fire.”

Crossing the Prohibition silently was not challenging for Long Yan.

Vermilion Bird True Fire surged from his palm, and he forced a drop of essence blood from his fingertips to infuse into the Vermilion Bird True Fire.

The Vermilion Bird’s True Fire shone brilliantly as a formless power ripple spread out, starting to tear the prohibition apart.

The Prohibition was being ripped apart silently and soon a hole big enough for a person to pass through was made.

Seeing the right opportunity, Long Yan’s figure flickered, he passed through the Prohibition, quickly sheathing the Vermilion Bird’s True Fire.

The next moment, the prohibition was fully restored.
