974: Chapter 974: Ten Days Time (First Revision)_1 974: Chapter 974: Ten Days Time (First Revision)_1 “Thousands of years ago, the Palace Master went up to the Supreme Hall alone and then disappeared without a trace.

Since then, the Temple of Beasts has been without a leader.

We four have been looking for the Palace Master’s whereabouts, rarely focusing on the Temple of Beasts, which gave the Burial Sky Church an opportunity.

By the time we realized it, it was already too late.”

A middle-aged man said, his tone filled with guilt.

The other three Heavenly Monarchs also felt the same.

If they hadn’t been negligent, the Burial Sky Church wouldn’t have managed to infiltrate the Temple of Beasts.

“Respected Seniors, you don’t need to blame yourselves.

As long as you can free yourselves and return with me to the Temple of Beasts, we will be able to clear all the pests from our Temple.”

Long Yan said.

Now was not the time for self-blame.

After all, their time was running short.

The Four Heavenly Monarchs nodded in agreement.

They, of course, understood this principle.

“Seniors, I don’t know how to address all of you.”

Li Xingyun had only told him that there were four Heavenly Monarchs in the Temple of Beasts, but he hadn’t told him the names of the four Heavenly Monarchs.

Soon after, the Heavenly Monarchs introduced themselves.

All four Heavenly Monarchs had a Demonic Beast as their avatar: Flame-eyed Golden Ape, Inverse Scale Thunder Peng, Celestial Wood Solitary Dragon Beast, and Silver-winged Dream Butterfly.

Thus, their titles were Heavenly King Jin Yuan, Lei Peng Heavenly King, Du Long Heavenly King, and Yin Meng Heavenly King.

Among them, Yin Meng Heavenly King was the middle-aged woman.

“Young Master, it will take us at least ten days to recover, even then, we won’t fully recover.”

Du Long Heavenly King said to Long Yan.

Their injuries were severe.

If it weren’t for the life force given by Long Yan, it would take them even more time to recover.

“Just rest assured and recover here, I will try my best to delay time.”

Delaying for ten days would be challenging for Long Yan, but he would give it his all.

“There is a Soul-Devouring Giant Gu inside each of you.

I will help you get rid of them first.”

Immediately, Long Yan used the Nine Nether Spirit Devouring Thunder Flame, forcing the Soul-Devouring Giant Gu out of the Four Heavenly Monarchs’ bodies and reducing them to ashes.

After giving each of the Heavenly Monarchs an Emperor-level Peak Elixir, Long Yan departed.

Compared to the Heavenly Monarchs, the seals on the Three Protectors were much easier to break.

Without much trouble, Long Yan broke the seals inside the Three Protectors, as well as giving them some life force and elixir.

“Protectors, please invest all your energy into recovering for the time being.

I will do my best to delay time.”

Long Yan said to the three Protectors.

“Thank you, Young Palace Master!”

The three of them respectfully saluted Long Yan.

……

Temple of Beasts, in the secret room.

“Palace Master, this cannot continue, the previous succession ceremony was unsuccessful.

Now, as Long Yan is under your control, it’s only a matter of time before the Treasure Vault is opened.

You should take your rightful place on the throne.”

Qi Feng said to Lan Tianming.

The people who could enter this place were all Lan Tianming’s own people.

He had already told the few people present about his capture of Long Yan.

“Indeed, the Palace Master’s position is rightfully yours.

With Long Yan absent and Li Xingyun unable to resist, the time is ripe.”

“Correct, now is an ideal time.”

The other people also clearly agreed with Lan Tianming assuming the throne immediately.

Lan Tianming pondered for a while before saying, “Long Yan has just ascended to the Palace Master’s position.

If I want to succeed him, I must find a legitimate reason and let everyone know that Long Yan is dead.”

If Long Yan isn’t dead and he ascends, he will be seen as usurping the throne, which the disciples of the Temple of Beasts will certainly not approve of.

If Long Yan is dead, then he would be the rightful Palace Master.

“That isn’t a problem.

We can simply make up an excuse.”

Mu Yan said, “Let’s say that Long Yan set off to gather resources and accidentally ventured into an ancient secret land, where he met his demise.”

“That sounds like a good excuse.”

Qi Feng nodded immediately, thinking that Mu Yan’s reason was valid.

“Second Elder, please take care of this matter.”

Lan Tianming said to Qi Feng.

After all these years, he should take his rightful place as the palace master.

Long Yan and the Four Heavenly Monarchs were all under his control.

Activating the Ten-Thousand Beast Heaven Slaughter Array was inevitable.

“Palace Master, rest assured, I will execute it flawlessly.”

Qi Feng patted his chest and said, his inner thoughts were: “Li Xingyun, your end is near.

I will be the Great Elder of the Temple of Beasts.”

Qi Feng never acknowledged Li Xingyun, and he was more than happy to seize this opportunity to eliminate him.

On the other hand, Li Xingyun, Li Yuanba, and Lei Youyou all had worried expressions, lost in concern for Long Yan.

With no news from Lei Xiaotian, all they could do was anxiously wait.

………

Days passed by and Long Yan did not contact anyone from the Temple of Beasts to avoid alarming them.

His time was mostly spent stealing lifeline power from the Gu Pool.

Once the Four Heavenly Monarchs and the Three Protectors recover, he wouldn’t have to hide anymore.

And this lifeline power was what the imprisoned needed.

Five days passed very quickly.

“Brother, do you really know what you’re doing?

It has been five days, if we continue to conceal this, I’m afraid we might get exposed.”

The man in the black robe in the Great Dao Realm was named Fan Qing.

In these five days, Fan Qing had been on tenterhooks.

Having concealed it for five days, any longer and they would undoubtedly be exposed.

When that happened, his and Long Yan’s days would be numbered.

“Don’t worry, in five more days at most, I’ll have everything under control, I promise.”

Long Yan reassured, patting this chest.

The Four Heavenly Monarchs needed five more days.

As long as he could hold on for these five days, he wouldn’t need to hide anymore.

“Five more days?”

Upon hearing this, Fan Qing broke out into a cold sweat: “Brother, I have entrusted my life to you.

We absolutely cannot wait for five more days.

That kid is simply in the Great Dao Realm.

Do you think they can hold out that long?”

Those men in black robes weren’t fools; if they dragged time for too long, they would definitely be exposed.

“At this point, there’s no turning back.

If you don’t want to die, stay calm.”

Long Yan had no sympathy for Fan Qing, he had no liking for the entire Burial Sky Church.

“Qin Ye, you…

”

Fan Qing trembled with fury.

Had it been in the past, he would have attacked Long Yan.

But now, he couldn’t risk it.

He and Long Yan were in the same boat.

Internal disputes would only hasten their deaths.

“Qin Ye, you’re ruthless.

Once we get past this, I’ll make sure you pay.”

Fan Qing was already holding an intense grudge against Long Yan in his heart.

Suddenly, the two of them brought a man into the Evil Space and threw him into the Gu Pool.

“Do you plan on staying here?”

Asked Fan Qing.

“What else can I do?

If another one dies, it would be hard even if we don’t want to die.”

Answered Long Yan.

Of course, this was just his excuse.

Fan Qing said nothing more and left immediately.
