Chapter 738: Chapter 738: News

Lu Qingcheng reached her culmination, “Speaking of which, how did you transform yourself into the Peacock Demon King?”

The identities of Kong Linyun and Lin Yi were poles apart; who could have imagined that they were the same person?

Had it not been for Little Jin, who lived side by side with Lin Yi and recognized him, who would have linked these two together?

“This is a long story.”

Lin Yi shared with Lu Qingcheng his experience of being saved by the Peacock Saint Master and temporary allegiance to the Peacock Sacred Land.

When she learned that the Peacock Saint Master was Lin Yi’s Guardian, Lu Qingcheng also heaved a sigh of relief. Having a figure of the Holy Master level as Lin Yi’s Guardian meant there was no need for her unnecessary worry.

“Now that you’ve seen through my identity, there’s no point in pretending.”

Lin Yi activated his Heavenly Demon Dharma Image and began to absorb the essence of the flesh and blood of this Ancient Relic!

During this time, he had been hunting Ancient Creatures with Little Jin and had already killed several such beings, reaping significant benefits. And now, by activating the Blood Magic Dharma, he was refining the essence of the flesh and blood of the Ancient Relic before him!

At last, Lin Yi’s aura began its transformation!

His cultivation level also advanced to the Eighth Level of the Venerable Realm with the flow of momentum.

“Still too slow!”

Lin Yi shook his head, not entirely satisfied with the speed of his progress. The Ancient Battlefield was a treasure trove for power-upgrading, and since this place was exclusively accessible to those beneath the Saint Realm level, Lin Yi had not yet encountered any formidable enemies.

He had to seize this opportunity to break through to the Half-Saint Realm as quickly as possible!

“Continue!”

During this time, Lin Yi had grown somewhat fond of the thrill of hunting; with Little Jin as his enforcer, even the Ancient Relics in the Ancient Battlefield that had reached the level of the Saint Realm could be hunted down!

The group embarked once again on their journey to find Ancient Relics, showing no signs of fatigue.

They rapidly traversed the Ancient Battlefield, but Lin Yi soon noticed something amiss; many powerhouses were all rushing toward the same direction as if they all had the same destination in mind.

If it were just one or two individuals, that would have been fine, but when everyone was heading in the same direction, that was no simple matter!

Lin Yi stopped two of them and inquired about the reason.

“There’s a ruin from the Ancient Emperor Dynasty called Heavenly Destiny Dynasty that has emerged. By now, the news has nearly spread throughout the entire Ancient Battlefield. How could you not know?”

The two men did not hide anything and directly informed Lin Yi.

“Ancient Emperor Dynasty?”

Lin Yi stiffened, realizing only then that while they had been focused on hunting Ancient Relics, a tremendous opportunity like this had emerged.

A ruin from an Emperor Dynasty during Ancient Times would be ten times more precious than the Yi Clan Relics!

“Indeed!”

The square-faced man nodded, “Now, strong figures from all over are racing to that Ancient Emperor Dynasty ruin, hoping to grab a share of the spoils.”

“Moreover, several Secret Keys from the Ancient Emperor Dynasty have scattered around the outer world. It is said that those who possess the keys can gain guidance within the ruins!”

“Secret Keys?”

Lin Yi was taken aback. If the keys could provide guidance within the dynasty ruins, wouldn’t everyone be desperate to get their hands on them?

“By now, those three keys are almost all in the hands of top powerhouses, except for one exception that seems to have ended up in the hands of the Peacock Sacred Land.”

The square-faced man said.

“Peacock Sacred Land?”

Lin Yi abruptly paused, and without a doubt, the ones who obtained the Secret Key must be Kong Lingxiang and Kong Sheng. He wasn’t sure whether to consider their luck good or bad.

The Secret Keys to the Ancient Dynasty Ruins would be coveted by many, and without sufficient strength, one couldn’t possibly defend them.

Kong Lingxiang and Kong Sheng, having obtained the key, would inevitably become targets. A man may be innocent, but possession of a precious gem would make him guilty. With their strength, they were likely in big trouble.

“Thank you for the information!”

Before the two could react, Lin Yi’s figure flashed and vanished from the spot, leaving behind a roasted wing that fluttered down through the air, “This is to thank the two of you!”

“Is this… the aura of an Ancient Relic?!”

As the two men caught a clear glimpse of the object, they were also struck with horror. This roasted wing actually contained the aura of an Ancient Relic? Could there actually be someone so heaven-defying as to roast an Ancient Relic?

Upon reflection, there was indeed one person who could do so!

“Could that person just now have been the Peacock Demon King?”

The square-faced man suddenly realized, a look of terror crossing his face.

Only the Peacock Demon King would do such a terrifying thing, and he was notorious in the Ancient Battlefield.

“Wasn’t the Peacock Demon King supposed to be extremely brutal and bloodthirsty?” he asked, glancing in the direction Lin Yi had left.

“How come he doesn’t quite match the rumors, and actually seems approachable?”

“How could that be? Who doesn’t know of the Peacock Demon King’s savagery? Maybe we were just lucky. Let’s get out of here quickly!”

The other man was already scared out of his wits. After all, the Peacock Demon King’s infamy resonated throughout the Ancient Battlefield, utterly demonized, and the mere mention of his name struck fear into everyone’s heart, leaving no room for any other thoughts.

With the roasted wing left by Lin Yi, the two men fled as if they were escaping for their lives!
