Chant—

A resounding dragon roar echoed, seemingly reverberating throughout the heavens.

Then, the dragon carving on the golden bow suddenly opened its eyes and transformed into a golden dragon that soared into the sky, baring its fangs and claws above the hall!

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, the golden dragon swooped down once more and burrowed into Lin Yu's arm!

"Ouch! It's so hot!"

Lin Yu felt an intense heat emanating from his arm, and his entire sleeve instantly turned to ashes. His fair and strong arm, as if branded with a hot iron, sizzled and emitted white smoke.

Lin Yu was in excruciating pain, kneeling on the ground and roaring incessantly.

This hellish torment lasted for a full five or six minutes before finally calming down.

At this moment, a golden-red dragon pattern appeared on Lin Yu's arm, just like a tattoo, but it was exceptionally dazzling and eye-catching, with an imposing and majestic aura. Even the best tattoo artist probably couldn't create such a perfect work!

At the same time, a thought suddenly arose in Lin Yu's mind, and he subconsciously reached out his hand.

Wow!

As the golden light gradually accumulated, a golden dragon-patterned bow reappeared in his hand, as if it had become one with his arm and had become a part of his body!

"Lin Yu, the Xuanyuan Bow has already recognized you as its master!" Feng Hongye said incredulously.

As a member of the Divine Blood Clan, she knew more about ancient artifacts. She knew that the spirit of the Xuanyuan Bow had already recognized Lin Yu as its master!

However, what shocked her was that a mere mortal could gain the recognition of an ancient artifact; this was simply unbelievable!

According to some ancient texts, the Xuanyuan Bow was the natal magic weapon of the Yellow Emperor, and only a true emperor could wield it!

Now that Lin Yu has control of this divine bow, what does that mean?

Is he truly the chosen one, a born emperor? Or perhaps the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor?

Thinking of this, her beautiful eyes shone even brighter. Sure enough, the man she chose was outstanding, a born king!

brush!

After a while, the golden light gradually dimmed, and the great bow disappeared again, transforming back into dragon patterns that attached themselves to Lin Yu's arm.

At this moment, Lin Yu's face was slightly pale, and sweat was beading on his skin.

With his cultivation level, it was no easy task to summon this divine bow. And this was in the secret realm, where spiritual energy was abundant. If it were outside, he would probably exhaust his power with just one use!

Unless you encounter an extremely dangerous situation, it's best not to use this magical artifact!

"Don't move!"

However, just as Lin Yu was deep in thought, Orochi Shikamaru somehow managed to get behind Liu Hao, grabbing Liu Hao's neck and pressing a dagger against his throat.

Liu Hao gritted his teeth and shouted, "You Japanese thief, what are you doing?!"

Lin Yu frowned and looked at Orochi Shikamaru.

Orochi Shikamaru sneered and stared at Lin Yu, saying, "I don't mean anything by it, but I'm also interested in this bow. I know you're a loyal and righteous young marshal, and now I'm offering his life in exchange for this bow. You wouldn't disagree, would you?"

"Are you crazy? This divine bow has already recognized Lin Yu as its master. Even if you were given it to you, you couldn't take it with you!" Feng Hongye said irritably.

"That's not necessarily true!" Yamata no Shikamaru sneered. "I have a secret technique to take this divine bow away, but, you surnamed Lin, you must cut off your arm first!"

"You Japanese traitors! Don't even think about using me to threaten Young Marshal Lin! I'd rather die than take away the divine artifact of my Great Xia!"

A resolute glint flashed in Liu Hao's eyes.

Pfft!

However, before he could make a move, the sound of a sharp knife piercing muscle rang out.

Orochi Shikamaru suddenly opened his eyes wide and slowly lowered his head, only to see a dagger firmly embedded in his lumbar spine!

He slowly turned around, looking at Liu Siyun in disbelief, "You, you..."

He couldn't understand why Fukuda Misa would do this. Although there were some conflicts between the two, they were both Japanese!

In this situation, if she dies, how can she survive on her own?

However, Fukuda Misa's subsequent actions immediately cleared up his doubts.

At this moment, she was like a frightened little bird, retreating step by step, shaking her head incessantly, as if she had seen something terrifying.

The former Misa Fukuda, who killed without hesitation, could not possibly make such a cowardly expression just because she stabbed someone.

There is only one answer!

She wasn't Fukuda Misa at all, but...

Thump!

In the last second of his life, he resolved the doubts in his heart, but also bid farewell to this world forever, slowly collapsing into a pool of blood.

Feng Hongye and Liu Hao both looked at Liu Siyun with surprise and uncertainty.

Lin Yu quickly stepped forward, put his arm around Liu Siyun's shoulder, and comforted her, "Siyun, don't be afraid, it's all over now!"

"Lin Yu, I...I killed someone..."

"He was a Japanese, and Japanese people cannot be called human! Just consider it as killing an animal!"

Lin Yu comforted her gently.

That gentle demeanor made Feng Hongye extremely jealous, and she kept pouting beside her.

Buzz!

At that moment, the entire hall suddenly shook.

Splash!

The glazed tiles trembled as if they might fall at any moment!

Lin Yu seemed to realize something and quickly said, "The Xuanyuan Bow is the treasure of the palace and the key to the entire secret realm's formation. Now that the key to the formation is inactive, the formation will be in chaos for a period of time. We must leave here quickly, otherwise, if the eight gates shift, we may get lost here!"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, everyone showed expressions of horror and hurriedly ran outside!

Just as they arrived outside the main hall, a loud crash was heard, and one magnificent hall after another collapsed, with huge cracks gradually appearing in the ground.

"Run!"

Lin Yu gave a reminder, then quickened his pace, leading everyone to flee towards the West Heavenly Gate.

The ground is collapsing faster and faster, and the affected area is expanding!

Fortunately, the restrictions on the Heavenly Ladder had been lifted automatically, and everyone descended the Heavenly Ladder without incident!

Ahead lay a chaotic mess, the path we had come from, from which we could not discern any direction.

Just as Lin Yu hesitated, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the side, surrounded the group, and looked at them with menacing expressions!

It was naturally Feng Sihai and his gang, who were waiting for their prey to come to them!

Feng Sihai glanced at Lin Yu and couldn't help but sneer, "You're Lin Yu? The new alliance leader who killed my junior brother?"

Lin Yu frowned. "You're Li Qingcang's senior brother?"

Feng Sihai nodded. "That's right! I am Feng Sihai, the eldest disciple of Nanshan Sanren and the senior brother of the Dazhuo Sect!"

"Kid, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Hand over what you got from the secret realm right now, and I might give you a quick death. Otherwise... I'll make you wish you were dead!"

The words had barely left his mouth when... *whoosh!*

Everyone drew their swords and pointed them at Lin Yu and his companions!

The atmosphere froze instantly!
