Human World, Great Rift Abyss.
Yan Li followed closely behind the Beast King as if he had become a loyal subordinate.
"I haven't asked you yet. What's your name, which training hall, and why do you want to join our Heaven Sect?" The Beast King looked askance at Yan Li.
Yan Li replied, "Yan Li, I'm an unaffiliated cultivator. I'm a person who yearns for the freedom of the Heaven Sect. Of course, the prestige of the Heaven Sect is also a very important factor. "
"En." The Beast King was satisfied to see that Yan Li was neither servile nor overbearing. "Many people want to join us because of our prestige. However, none of them are as honest as you. You say a lot of things about loyalty, but when it comes to the crucial moment, you're not even willing to sacrifice your life. "
Joining the Heaven Sect was either for fame or profit. To enjoy both, one had to be alive. What was the use of fame if one was dead?
Yan Li sneered in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. "My Lord, I heard from Lord Fu Jian that there's more than one intruder. Could it be that there's someone else who wants to join the Heaven Sect before me?"
"That talkative newbie!" The Beast King frowned. "How can a Walker from the Heavenly Policy Pavilion join the Heaven Sect? You're thinking too much."
Yan Li's heart sank. This sentence revealed two pieces of information. One was that Xie Yunfeng was indeed here, and the other was that he had already exposed himself.
He said half-jokingly, "A mere Walker dares to barge into our Heaven Sect's base. That person must have been killed by my Lord long ago."
Unexpectedly, the Beast King stopped abruptly after he said that. He nearly crashed into the Beast King.
"My Lord?" He cautiously called out.
"How did you know that this is our base?" The Beast King turned around and stared at Yan Li.
Yan Li replied unhurriedly, "Reporting to my lord, it was because someone had carved words on the stone wall behind us. It said that this place was suspected to be the headquarters of the Fengtian Sect. Then, I bumped into Lord Fu Jian. That was my deduction."
"Oh?" The Beast King's expression turned cold. "That damned Walker! How did he manage to fool the Guardian Spirit? "
"Milord, don't be angry. Why don't you leave him to me?" Yan Li took the opportunity to say, "Although I'm not talented, I believe it's still easy for me to deal with a mere Walker."
"This matter has nothing to do with you!" the Beast King said coldly. "Speaking of which, how did you know about this place?"
It was a last resort, but it still increased the other party's suspicion.
He couldn't continue probing.
Yan Li's thoughts raced like lightning as he said, "Actually, I'm a treasure hunter. I heard that many cultivators who came to the Great Rift Abyss to explore never returned, so I became curious. My Lord, your Guardian Spirit and the Soul Captivating Flower are simply a natural barrier. Fortunately, I still have some tricks up my sleeves, so I barely passed the test. "
"You even know about the Soul Captivation Flower?" the Beast King asked.
"Otherwise, how would he dare to eat the seed?" Yan Li said.
"You're quite courageous, but the Soul Flower can't read your thoughts," said the Beast King as his expression softened.
"I believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Yan Li smiled. "The temptation of an immortal body is really great. Isn't the reason I work so hard to find treasures to cultivate to a higher realm? Isn't the reason I cultivate to a higher realm to increase my lifespan? "
"You know how to make choices." The Beast King nodded slightly. "I remember there are two of you. Where's the other one?"
Yan Li played it down and said, "After defeating the Guardian Spirit, the use of partners is very small, and the temptation of monopolizing the treasures is even greater."
"Heartless and unscrupulous!" The Beast King sneered. "How can I be at ease to let a person like you be my partner? We won't even know when you'll sell us out."
Yan Li said meaningfully, "I think the Followers of Heaven are gods who do whatever they want, transcending the mortal world. How can they be bound by the things of the mortal world?"
"Ha!" The Beast King couldn't help but laugh. He turned around and left. "There's an interesting soul hidden in your body. I hope you won't disappoint me."
The corners of Yan Li's mouth rose slightly as he followed.
Not long after, they arrived at a long tunnel. The Beast King stopped and instructed, "You stay here and guard. If there are other intruders, kill them without mercy. Also, don't run around without my orders. "
He walked into the tunnel after he finished speaking.
Yan Li waited until the Beast King was far away before he used his eyesight to look inside. However, all he could see was a vast expanse of gray fog. Although there was a bit of fire in the depths, it wasn't enough to illuminate the situation inside.
He waited in place for a while, and after confirming that there was no other movement, he took out the Thousand Possibility Box and switched it to Listening Mode.
The Listening Mode was like a wide-mouthed conch. By pointing the narrow mouth at the ear, it could collect sounds from a long distance. At the same time, it could also temporarily store the collected sounds.
But there was nothing.
The distance between the cave entrance and the fire was only a hundred zhang, but the Listening Mode didn't pick up any conversation, only the sound of the wind.
He shook his head, put away the Thousand Possibility Box, and paced back and forth at the entrance.
The longer he delayed, the higher the possibility of Xie Yunfeng being harmed.
At this time, he didn't know what had happened to Xie Yunfeng.
He hadn't forgotten his purpose of coming here.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, lightened his footsteps, and slowly went deeper.
Step by step, he cautiously approached and walked out of the tunnel. He discovered that it was a huge underground palace. The fire on the wall reflected the scattered animal skeletons on all sides.
This underground palace was built from a large number of square stones of the same size. Every stone was engraved with runes, especially the ones on the ceiling. The dazzling runes combined together to form a huge spell formation.
He had never seen any of these runes before.
At this moment, the sound of conversation came from inside.
There was a door right in front of him, and behind the door was a slightly smaller underground palace.
If he used his eyesight, he could see an altar in the center.
Just as he was about to move over to eavesdrop, he heard a stern shout, "Who is it!"
Then, a shadow rushed out at the speed of lightning.
Yan Li was about to raise his sword to block, but suddenly remembered that if he exposed the Sword Concealment Technique, everything would be over. He quickly withdrew his sword and used both hands to block.
Bam!
He only felt the bones in his arms make a slight cracking sound. He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, and heavily smashed into the stone wall above the tunnel. Then, he fell to the ground. His qi and blood surged, and he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.
"Oh?" The shadow revealed its appearance. It was Lotus, dressed in a purple dress with a veil covering her face.
Yan Li also recognized her, and from the other's gaze, he found that she also recognized him.
"Stop!" The Beast King was the second to rush out, and glared fiercely at Yan Li, "Didn't I tell you not to run around?"
"This person looks very familiar." Vulture was the third to come out, and said thoughtfully, "Why do I have the urge to punch his head?"
