Chapter 727: Praise, Leaving

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, Junior Brother. Even An Lin and his Spirit Beast together were no match for you."

After Wu Yifan came out, Dust World began to praise Wu Yifan unreservedly.

Talented people are terrifying, and those with deep foundations are also terrifying. If someone possesses both, they are even more so. Wu Yifan happened to be one of them.

Hearing this, Wu Yifan looked humble and smiled as he denied it, "Senior Apprentice Brother Chen Shi, you're joking. I was just lucky."

"Hey, that wasn't luck. I can tell."

Dust World waved his hand.

At this moment, Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang, who was on the side, finally spoke.

"Alright, Dust World, don't bother Holy Son Yifan anymore. Let him rest well. That battle just now must have taken a lot out of him, and there are other battles the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang."

Since Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang had spoken, Dust World naturally didn't dare to refuse and nodded in agreement.

Only then was Wu Yifan able to rest. After excusing himself, he went down to rest. However, what Wu Yifan didn't notice was that as Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang watched his departing back, his gaze was incredibly deep, as if he were thinking about something.

But in the end, he couldn't figure it out and could only let it go.

On the other side, within the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory.

Wu Zhene and Wu Daotian stopped hunting forbidden beings. Their Realm had also progressed from the previous Level Ten Early Stage to the Level Ten Middle Stage, but they were still some distance away from the Late Stage.

"Daotian, let's stop here. If we continue, the number of forbidden beings in the Forbidden Realm will dwindle, and suspicion might fall on us then."

Wu Zhene spoke to persuade him.

Wu Daotian naturally knew when to quit while he was ahead and nodded in agreement.

Of course, most importantly, the time for the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory to close was approaching. The remaining time was extremely tight. If the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory closed right when they were attacking a forbidden being, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble when they were teleported out.

Not long after Wu Zhene and Wu Daotian took a break, a repulsive force descended from within the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory, covering their entire bodies. Before they could do anything, they were expelled from the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory.

It wasn't just Wu Zhene and Wu Daotian; the forbidden beings throughout the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory were the same.

Meanwhile, outside the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory, the powerhouses of various major forces were gathered, waiting for their Disciples to emerge. The Elder of the Ten Thousand Souls Valley was also among them.

Soon, accompanied by a slight vibration from the Gate of the Forbidden Territory, countless streaks of light flew out and landed in front of the gate. As the light dissipated, the figures within were the forbidden beings who had previously entered the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory.

However, upon seeing how few forbidden beings had come out, the powerhouses present could no longer sit still.

Because the number of forbidden beings that had entered was as many as three hundred thousand, yet only ten thousand came out. The number had plummeted by a full two hundred and ninety thousand. How could they accept this? Many of them were the Prodigies of their respective forces.

Thus, in the next second, a powerhouse stood up.

It was a Seventeen-level Late Stage forbidden being, who roared in fury, "What happened inside the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory? Why have so few people come out?!"

As he spoke, his incredibly powerful aura fell upon the ten thousand forbidden beings who had emerged. The terrifying pressure made them unable to move, their faces filled with horror. Clearly, they didn't know what had happened either. Only Wu Zhene and Wu Daotian knew, but they wouldn't be foolish enough to stand up and admit it.

Furthermore, they knew that the surviving forbidden Sect Elders present would definitely not allow their Disciples to come to harm.

Sure enough, in the next second, another powerhouse stood up and intercepted the other, "Ping Yuan, I know you are very angry, but entering the Forbidden Territory is inherently risky. Falling in battle is perfectly normal. Do you think the Disciples of my Sect slaughtered and devoured our own kin?"

The powerhouse who stepped forward looked at Ping Yuan calmly. Ping Yuan was the Seventeen-level Late Stage forbidden being whose Disciples had all failed to emerge from the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory.

As one forbidden being stood up, another soon followed, saying, "Indeed, entering the Forbidden Territory itself carries risks. You cannot blame the surviving forbidden beings just because your own Disciples fell. This is a rule set by the World Lord. Are you planning to go against the World Lord's will?"

As those words were spoken, the powerhouses who had initially intended to demand an explanation all stopped in their tracks. After all, there was absolutely no need to be labeled as opposing the World Lord over this matter. Moreover, the cultivation levels of the deceased Disciples were not high; they could be trained again with a little time.

In the distance, the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Souls Valley watched this scene with a calm expression. He noticed that his own force's Disciples had also lost more than half, but he felt no fluctuation in his heart. After all, when they entered, he had already prepared for the worst possible outcome.

Thinking no more, the Grand Elder took a step forward and, with a wave of his hand, brought Wu Zhene and several other Ten Thousand Souls Valley Disciples before him, then said, "Let's go, we're heading back."

Having said that, the Grand Elder ignored the expressions of the other forbidden powerhouses and turned to rush back toward the Ten Thousand Souls Valley.

Seeing this, the other powerhouses could only swallow their anger and turn to leave. As for the other forbidden beings who had emerged from the Forbidden Territory, they were also quickly taken away by their respective Sect Elders.

As for the Loose Cultivators, they had already dispersed, and Wu Daotian was among them.

Before leaving, Wu Zhene had already told Wu Daotian that if he encountered any trouble, he could come to the Ten Thousand Souls Valley to find him. Although it was not yet convenient for their relationship to be known by others, if Wu Daotian truly reached such a desperate point, he wouldn't care whether it became known or not.

In the distance, Ye Kai watched the receding backs of Wu Zhene and Wu Daotian, his expression appearing extremely grave.

Beside Ye Kai stood a figure with an incredibly terrifying aura; he was none other than Ye Kai's Dao Protector.

After all, Ye Kai was the grandson of the Sky Forbidden Clan's Clan Chief, and his talent was so terrifying. How could the Sky Forbidden Clan not arrange a Dao Protector for him?

"Young Lord, it's time to head back. You have already obtained the Tian Jin Liquid from the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory. Several Elders in the clan will be able to Breakthrough to the Eighteen-level because of it."

The Dao Protector spoke to Ye Kai in an extremely respectful tone. Even though he was an Eighteen-level Early Stage, Ye Kai's status was right there. Furthermore, an Elder in the clan skilled in divination had calculated that Ye Kai would be the commander who leads their Sky Forbidden Clan out of their current predicament in the future. Therefore, even within the entire Sky Forbidden Clan, Ye Kai's status was extremely Supreme.

"Let's go, we're going back. It just so happens that I also have an important matter I want to announce to the clansmen!"

After Ye Kai finished speaking, he turned around and his figure vanished. The Dao Protector followed closely behind, and both disappeared from before the Tian Gu Forbidden Territory.
