CHAPTER 423: CHAPTER 276 MENG LAN SAYS, PEOPLE MUST BELIEVE IN THE TRUE GOD

As the Wild Soul team ran towards the highest point of the Peak of the Divine Crown, Luo Chen clung tightly to the back of the antelope, letting the fresh blood stain his clothes. His heart was filled with confusion and reluctance, not knowing what all this was about. However, he knew he had to hold on and find a ray of hope.

The scene at the highest point of the Peak of the Divine Crown gradually appeared before Luo Chen’s eyes. It was a majestic mountain peak, with clouds and mist swirling around the summit, as if it led to another world. The Wild Soul team stopped in front of the mountain peak and knelt down to the ground, seeming to show submission to some mysterious power.

Luo Chen jumped off the back of the antelope and staggered to steady his footing. He looked up and saw a figure standing at the summit of the mountain, draped in a black robe, with a face hidden in darkness, exuding an aura that was mysterious and powerful.

"Welcome to the Peak of the Divine Crown," the black-robed figure spoke slowly, his voice cold and majestic, "You are the first human to arrive here."

Luo Chen was surprised, not knowing the identity of this black-robed figure. He stared intently at the black-robed figure, trying to find clues from the other’s tone and actions.

"You are brave and tenacious," the black-robed figure continued, "but this is not a place you should be."

"Then where should I go?" Luo Chen couldn’t help asking, his voice carrying a hint of defiance and unwillingness.

The black-robed figure let out a cold laugh, not answering his question, but instead turned and walked towards the other side of the mountain peak. Luo Chen hesitated for a moment but decided to follow. He wanted to know what secrets this mysterious black-robed figure was hiding and also wanted to find the true reason for his arrival here.

The two walked one behind the other at the Peak of the Divine Crown, surrounded by mountain peaks shrouded in mist and bottomless gorges. Luo Chen’s mood grew heavier and heavier; he felt as if he was being drawn into a massive conspiracy. However, he knew he could not give up, he must persist until he found the truth.

Amidst the chaos, Luo Chen sharply caught a chance to escape. He seized the moment, leaping up and landing steadily on the back of a galloping antelope. This sudden action allowed him to narrowly save his life amidst the black-clad girl’s pursuit and the chaos of the Wild Souls. However, the wounds on his body ached more sharply with the violent jolting, making him feel as if he were about to vomit blood.

Luo Chen couldn’t help but look back, only to see the forest where the black-clad girl was gradually receding from his view. Although the pursuing Wild Souls were in disarray, their whole formation seemed meticulously rehearsed and was remarkably neat. The thunderous sound of their iron hooves echoed endlessly between the mountain peaks.

As the Wild Souls charged along, dust and debris flew everywhere, and the deafening sound of iron hooves resounded throughout the Peak of the Divine Crown. Luo Chen clutched the antelope’s mane tightly, striving to maintain balance while silently enduring the pain from his wounds.

Finally, after a long, jolting ride, Luo Chen opened his eyes. What he saw was a breathtakingly refreshing scene. Although it was already dusk, the beautiful sunset stained half the sky red, adding a few touches of elegance to the land. The cool mountain breeze greeted him, dispersing the weariness brought by the journey.

This was the Peak of the Divine Crown! Luo Chen felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Lying on the back of the antelope, he looked forward and saw a vast open space ahead facing a group of young men and women covered in blood. His mind exploded with a loud bang, and his vision instantly became incredibly clear.

"Sister!" Luo Chen suddenly discovered that it was his relatives—Carefree Meng Lan and Jin Zizai Ston—being besieged by those strange men! He called out anxiously, but the distance was simply too far. Moreover, the surrounding Wild Souls were shouting excitedly, their iron hooves constantly pounding the ground, creating a deafening noise, and his voice was instantly drowned in the chaos.

Luo Chen’s heart was filled with anxiety as he watched his family fall into danger but was unable to lend a hand immediately. He looked around, searching for a chance to escape. However, the Wild Souls surrounded him densely, seemingly offering no way out.

Just then, he caught sight of a small hill not far away from the corner of his eye. The terrain of that small hill was relatively high, perhaps from there he could observe more and find an opportunity to escape. So, Luo Chen directed the antelope to dash towards that small hill without hesitation.

As the distance closed, he gradually saw the situation in the open space more clearly. Carefree Meng Lan and Jin Zizai Ston seemed to have fallen into a bitter struggle. Their clothes were stained with blood, and fatigue showed on their faces. Meanwhile, those strange men appeared exceptionally fierce, their moves were exceedingly lethal, and each strike was fatally threatening.
