CHAPTER 431: CHAPTER 0428: SORROW, IT’S TRULY SORROWFUL

Unbeknownst to them.

Lin Fan’s speed in breaking arrays had already caught up to the Immortal King.

"Brother Lin, they’ve seen us. What do you think we should do? Is it because we’re too fast, making them feel embarrassed?" Qin Yang said, sounding like he was worried, but in fact, he was feeling a bit smug.

Several Immortal Kings and Immortal Monarchs all showed expressions of amazement.

So many powerful figures working together had just managed to break through arrays one by one. What was the situation with those three people over there, to be so fast?

The current situation was like two teams heading to the same place, but standing on two parallel bridges, with a chasm between them that couldn’t be crossed.

"Who are they?"

"We have Immortal King seniors leading us to get here, but they are so quick, isn’t that terrifying?"

"Could it be that they have caught up to the Immortal King seniors in terms of array mastery?"

They discussed, with their eyes showing surprise and utter shock, as if they had seen a ghost.

Qin Yang raised his head, straightened his back, and said, "Honored Immortal King seniors, I am Qin Yang, a direct descendant of the Immortal Venerable Family, entering the Ancient Mountain with two friends."

He felt it was time to show off again.

Didn’t they see how many people were watching the three of them?

If he didn’t show off now, when could he?

"So it’s a junior from the Qin Family." Immortal King Qing asked, "Young Qin, how did you move so fast?"

Qin Yang felt a bit displeased.

Damn.

He should have called me Little Immortal Venerable Qin, how could he call me Young Qin? Really no manners, but forget it, since you’re an Immortal King, I won’t argue with you.

Qin Yang smiled and said, "This friend of mine is extraordinary. On our journey here, it was he who broke all the arrays. Although not known outside, I, Qin Yang, always call him the Array Breaker."

Lin Fan wanted to rage at Qin Yang.

What kind of ridiculous nickname did you give me?

Array Breaker?

Even if you had some ability, you wouldn’t choose such a name.

The crowd heard this and looked at each other in confusion.

"Array Breaker?"

They had never heard of it, but seeing how these three had reached here, it had to be said that without some level of skill, it was impossible to achieve this.

Qin Yang continued, "This brother of mine can break any array in the world. Even ancient arrays set up by Immortal Venerables are nothing in front of him, just a piece of cake. After all, I, Qin Yang, acknowledged him as a brother, and as a direct descendant of an Immortal Venerable, the brothers I know are naturally outstanding too."

He knew well that praising his friend’s excellence was the same as elevating his own worth.

If he belittled his friend, wouldn’t that let others know that the people Qin Yang knew were all nobodies ...

Look at those guys’ eyes.

He knew this group was already envious.

Maybe in the future, they would all hope to know Qin Yang, how grand it would be.

After all, who else could be like him, knowing such excellent friends.

Xiang Fei gently nudged Qin Yang’s arm and said, "That’s about enough; going too far will cause trouble."

Qin Yang felt much more comfortable, and the fear of entering the Ancient Mountain dissipated significantly because of the act he had just put on.

Buzz!

Lin Fan broke another array and then stepped onto the stairs, looking into the distance with joy. He said, "Luo Fairy, we meet again."

Luo Fairy in the crowd looked expressionlessly at Lin Fan. She had been humiliated by Lin Fan and would never forget it. Never in her life had she been subjected to such insult.

It’s infuriating.

"I know who he is. He’s Lin Fan, who almost killed Left Immortal."

"What?"

"What level is Left Immortal? The younger generation all avoid him, yet Left Immortal was almost suppressed by this person."

Hearing the words of the juniors around him.

All the Immortal Kings were very surprised, obviously not expecting the inconspicuous person to have almost killed Left Immortal.

Left Immortal was hugely renowned in the Immortal Realm.

He was one of the peak figures among the younger generation.

A former Immortal Emperor once prophesied that Left Immortal would become an Immortal Venerable in the future. What an astonishing prophecy, it was like having supreme honor upon him.

"Young Qin, why not let your friend come over and help us break this big array?" said an Immortal King.

They were struggling tremendously to break the big array.

Some arrays contained terrifying Immortal Path rules, and a single mistake could land them in great danger. Now that an array master appeared, they naturally hoped he would come to help.

Qin Yang was very displeased. What kind of attitude is that?

Asking us for help and yet still calling me Young Qin? Can’t you call me Little Immortal Venerable Qin?

At this moment, Lin Fan said, "Honored Immortal King seniors, it’s hard to get through this place. How about you wait for us here? Once I break the big array here and reach the top, I’ll find a way to physically bring you over."

"I ask all you seniors to wait a moment."

"After all, humans are compassionate, but arrays are ruthless. Having just observed, this place has a high array difficulty, and even Immortal Emperors might not survive later on."

After saying this, he continued to break the arrays.

His speed was so fast, it left people dumbfounded.

Qin Yang pretended and said, "Honored Immortal Kings, rest assured. This brother of mine is very righteous and keeps his promises. Once he reaches the top, he will definitely come."

How could he not understand Lin Fan’s intentions?

Once they reached the top, he would first have a good loot, and if there was nothing left, they would just bring them all back out together.

The Immortal Kings exchanged glances.

"While we break arrays, we wait. We didn’t expect the staircase arrays to be so terrifying. We’re indeed careless."

"Why is this man breaking arrays so quickly? Could it be that his mastery in arrays truly reached such a godly and unfathomable level?"

In their understanding,

the number one in arrays was the Immortal Array King.

This person was an unparalleled figure in array mastery within the Immortal Realm, once invited by an Immortal Emperor to arrange an array together, gaining fame that people didn’t know his name.

Not knowing how long had passed.

"Whew!"

"Finally made it up here."

Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief. No one knew how tired he was; even if you knew the flaws of the array, it didn’t really matter. It was terrifying, and with a small mistake, he could have died.

Qin Yang said, "Brother Lin, I keep feeling my heart pounding; do you think we’re about to get rich?"

Xiang Fei looked at Qin Yang, feeling that he was the strangest guy in their group.

At first, he was worried and scared.

But now he’s thinking about striking it rich, not afraid of danger anymore?

"I don’t know if we’ll strike it rich, but I know we’re about to defy the heavens. Look..." Lin Fan pointed forward, captivated by the scene atop the Ancient Mountain Peak.

The mountain peak, how big could it be?

But now, the peak seemed vast and boundless, out of sight, and within their view, was a Cave Mansion, unexpectedly appearing in front of them.

Anyone who came up could see this Cave Mansion.

"It’s deliberately waiting for us to enter," Xiang Fei said.

Lin Fan said, "That’s right. It gives the impression of intentionally drawing us in. Would you choose to go inside?"

Qin Yang, without even thinking, said, "Of course, we must go in, in case there’s something good."

Xiang Fei didn’t speak, but his meaning was the same as Qin Yang.

"Follow me and listen to my commands." Lin Fan said, heading towards the Cave Mansion. It was too eerie, with no name, the entrance covered in vines, only sparse gaps indicating it was a doorway.

They pulled the vines apart, and a strong odor wafted out from the Cave Mansion.

It had been sealed too long, and the smell was suffocating.

This was the smell of history.

No one knew how long it had been since anyone entered here.

They cautiously moved in, the walls inside the cave intricately carved with many delicate patterns.

Touching the wall.

[Spirit Gathering Array: Gathers the effect of heavenly and earthly immortal energies.]

It seems the mighty who died here had already started paving the way for themselves, gathering the heavenly and earthly immortal energies around, intending to nurture an Immortal Body?

"Be careful, there’s something odd," Lin Fan reminded.

His eyes could see through everything, his hands understood the secrets, and with great caution, there should be no problems.

As they delved deeper.

Scattered around were some broken jars. They thought there might be something inside, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing. The jars had holes, as if bitten through by something.

The light in the cave grew dimmer, illuminated by stones embedded in the rock walls.

"These are Jade Stones, embedded in the Cave Mansion for lighting, but a single one of these can last a very long time, though exactly how long, no one knows, because it’s been too long."

"But now the Jade Stones here are dim and losing light."

"This Cave Mansion must have existed for a very long time indeed."

Xiang Fei marveled at how even the Jade Stones had become dull. Just how long had passed?

Lin Fan focused his attention on the surroundings, ready to flee with the group at any moment if something occurred.

"Look over there, there’s someone," Qin Yang whispered.

They looked in that direction.

Not far away, a skeleton sat cross-legged on the ground, long dead, giving a strange feeling.

The first thought in Lin Fan’s mind was spirit possession?

"It’s glowing, red light. There’s a red light in the eye sockets of that skeleton."

Qin Yang, staring at the skeleton, suddenly shouted, thinking it was about to resurrect.

Lin Fan was startled by Qin Yang’s actions.

Jesus.

Almost got scared to death.

Squeak!

Clatter!

It seemed there was something inside the skull; suddenly, it fell and rolled on the ground, and a rat crawling out, disappeared into a hole in the ground in the blink of an eye.

"This..."

The situation was somewhat inexplicable.

When they got closer to the skeleton, it turned out to be an ordinary one, long dead.

In a corner piled many things.

Jars, countless, but each was broken, as if plundered.

Lin Fan looked carefully at the skeleton, then said regretfully, "Who would have thought, did not expect, this ancient great power, intending to spirit possess, laid down an astonishing plot, attracting people with treasures hidden in jars, yet it was ruined by a rat."

"Truly sad, indeed sad."

Qin Yang said, "Brother Lin, what does this mean?"

Lin Fan pointed at the ground and said, "You see, this is a spirit possession array, but because the rat tunneled underneath, it ruined the terrain, nullifying its effect, ultimately leading to utter death."

"Perhaps this ancient mighty never thought such a thing could happen."
