Elder Qiu suggested, "We're sure to be the first to notice the changes there, so let's send someone to check it out before making any further plans."
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
The temple master made a decision and instructed one of the people, "This matter is somewhat strange. I will trouble Protector You to make a trip."
You Rui nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
The Palace Master then instructed Elder Qiu, "The selection process needs to be expedited. Go to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and ask them to make arrangements as soon as possible."
Elder Qiu nodded and left the main hall to find the Pavilion Master, Tianwen, at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
The temple master then said to the others, "If there's nothing else, everyone can leave now. Everyone should pay attention to the selection of personnel. If we mess it up, none of us will have a good outcome."
The group of people wearing demon masks responded and then dispersed.
...
A land of chaos.
Qin Feng was immersed in his understanding of the Dao.
Leng Yuexi's current cultivation level is the same as Qin Feng's, reaching the Great Emperor realm.
Bingluan's efforts were a result of years of hard work and accumulation. It took her nearly six years to break through to the Emperor Realm, and now she has only spent less than a year to raise her cultivation to the mid-Emperor Realm.
Ao Ling has made rapid progress, and now her aura is stirring, showing signs of a potential breakthrough.
Boom! A dramatic change occurred in her inner world, transforming it from a celestial realm into a smaller world.
Her aura changed, and she was about to break through from the Emperor Realm to the Sovereign Realm.
Thunderclouds filled the sky, and a lightning tribulation was about to descend.
Qin Feng's attention was drawn, and he snapped out of his cultivation.
He glanced at Ao Ling's condition and clicked his tongue in amazement.
In the less than seven years since they entered the Chaotic Lands, everyone has made great progress.
"This isn't a forbidden area, it's a blessed land!"
Qin Feng soared into the air, carrying Ao Ling away from Leng Yuexi and Bing Luan, as if he were going to get involved in a lightning tribulation as usual.
He landed with Ao Ling, and habitually scanned his surroundings with his divine sense, noticing something was wrong.
He seemed to have just noticed the presence of other people, which aroused his vigilance.
But when he checked again, he seemed to find nothing, making him wonder if it was just his imagination.
Trusting his instincts, Qin Feng feigned certainty and said calmly in a certain direction:
"Since you're here, come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure emerged from the shadows of the distant broken wall, its form like a ghost.
More importantly, this person was wearing a demon mask that left a deep impression on Qin Feng.
Qin Feng sighed inwardly at the man's extraordinary concealment skills, which allowed him to blend seamlessly into the darkness, making him extremely difficult to detect.
If Qin Feng hadn't possessed such a powerful divine soul and keen spiritual sense, he wouldn't have been able to detect it in such a short time.
This masked man was You Rui, the protector of the Dark Palace, who was ordered to come to the chaotic land to check the situation.
He walked from the entrance to the forbidden area without finding anything unusual.
He thought that there were all sorts of formations set up by the Dark Palace here, and if anyone came in, they would definitely be discovered.
He only came in to check things out as a last resort, never expecting that there would actually be someone there.
This puzzled him greatly; how did these people manage to enter so silently?
The masked man, You Rui, glanced at the thunderclouds in the sky and frowned. This was a tribulation lightning for advancing to the Emperor Realm, and he would not approach it willingly.
He looked at Qin Feng, who remained motionless, but couldn't see through him. However, he guessed that Qin Feng had only just advanced to the Emperor Realm and was nothing to worry about.
In this desolate continent, unless one obtains permission from their Dark Palace, it is impossible for anyone to advance to the Emperor Realm. The two people in front of them must have sneaked in and just broken through.
Furthermore, he thought Qin Feng must be an idiot, not knowing that this would allow the lightning tribulation to cover him.
His voice was icy cold.
"How did you manage to find me? How did you do that? And how did you get in?"
Qin Feng sized up the masked man; the man's aura was strange and mixed, dark and cold.
He could sense the masked man's chilling murderous intent.
If he wasn't mistaken, the other party had come to clear out the people inside the restricted area.
Qin Feng couldn't help but think of the Gengjin Emperor and Ling Xuan, the ancestor of the Ling family; their misfortunes were also inextricably linked to the masked man.
He remained within the range locked by the lightning, staring expressionlessly at the masked man.
This person was in the late stage of the Emperor Realm, not yet the Great Emperor Realm, and posed no threat to Qin Feng. He was just curious about the other party's identity.
"Are you from the Dark Temple?"
You Rui nodded coldly. "Good, now you should answer my questions: how did you get in, and how long have you been here?"
Qin Feng smiled brightly, "How do I come in? What are you talking about? Of course, I walk in. Didn't you come in just the same way?"
You Rui's aura hardened, revealing the powerful presence of a late-stage Emperor Realm expert, and he said fiercely:
"Don't play dumb, you know what I'm asking?"
Qin Feng chuckled, "Don't you have a surveillance array? How could you not know?"
You Rui's pupils contracted. "You actually saw through the formation and managed to hide it from the surveillance. Interesting."
Qin Feng asked curiously, "Do all the people in your Dark Palace wear demon masks? Do you know Emperor Gengjin and Ling Xuan of the Ling family?"
You Rui's voice turned low, "You know these two people?"
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. The encounters of Emperor Gengjin and Ling Xuan were indeed inextricably linked to the Dark Palace.
Before he could ask any more questions, a thunderclap boomed in the sky.
Two bolts of lightning struck down, landing on Qin Feng and Ao Ling respectively.
When You Rui saw the tribulation lightning, he was completely dumbfounded.
The tribulation lightning descends according to one's cultivation level, but this tribulation lightning was far too powerful and too fierce. Even if he survived it, he would be severely injured.
