Chapter 20 Returning to the Ghost Forest to Die



Luo Fantian in this book displayed amazing talent while cultivating in the Sword Sect. If we remove him from the Sword Sect, would we first diminish his protagonist aura and then let the villain shine?

"During my time at the Sword Sect, I've only felt that, apart from you, there isn't a single good person among them. They're all mean-spirited and unfriendly. I'm very curious about what the outside world is like. Aren't you curious too?"

At this moment, Luo Fantian was heartbroken and distressed, making it the easiest time to persuade him.

"don't want."

Xie Zhou said a lot, but Luo Fantian negated it all with a single sentence.

"When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body, and leave them destitute."

Luo Fantian took a deep breath, and for some reason, his previously dejected face became even more resolute. His gaze towards Xie Zhou was equally firm.

"If I hadn't released the Hyena, if I hadn't failed to capture the Seven Star Mount as ordered by the Immortal Venerable, none of this would have happened. It's all because I'm too weak."

The boy clenched his fists tightly.

Xie Zhou was shocked. No way, no way, as expected of a man who can become the protagonist. Even after receiving this kind of treatment, he can still be so resolute.

"If I give up so soon, the fairy sister will be extremely disappointed in me."

Luo Fantian added another sentence afterward.

Xie Zhou, who had just been moved to tears, frowned immediately upon hearing these words.

"Fairy sister? You're not talking about the girl we met in the Ghost Forest last time, are you?"

Xie Zhou rolled his eyes dramatically.

"Mm." Luo Fantian blushed, but still nodded slightly in agreement.

Xie Zhou wanted nothing more than to slap Luo Fantian on the head; she really wanted to see what was inside that thing's head.

I originally thought it was because of her strong personality, but I never expected that an important part of the reason was because of the fairy sister.

"Men, especially young men, only have something to pursue when they have feelings. That's a good thing, a good thing."

Xie Zhou smiled, desperately suppressing the anger surging in his chest.

If Luo Fantian were told that the fairy sister was Xie Zhou, who accompanied him every day, what would his reaction be?

"Brother Brahma, your idea is so thoughtful and touching. If I were that fairy sister, I would definitely be moved to tears."

Xie Zhou softened his tone.

She is not Luo Fantian's teammate, she is Luo Fantian's opponent!

The more corrupt Luo Fantian becomes, the better she plays the villainous role—that's a good thing! A good thing!

After thinking it through, Xie Zhou felt relieved.

"No, no, no, you are not a fairy sister, and you never can be a fairy sister!"

To everyone's surprise, Luo Fantian gave Xie Zhou a disgruntled look.

His eyes swept over Xie Zhou's body and face several times before he finally looked away from Xie Zhou's face with great disgust.

"Luo Fantian! What do you mean by this?!"

Xie Zhou then realized that Luo Fantian had already disappeared.

"I want to cultivate! I want to become stronger!" Luo Fantian left behind only these few words, leaving Xie Zhou alone, bewildered in the wind.

"There are more and more hyenas! What's going on?!"

"Has the elder arrived yet?! If the elder doesn't come soon, we won't be able to hold out!"

"And...it seems something is approaching in this ghost forest! These hyenas and evil spirits seem to be extremely frightened!"

Those responsible for preventing the demonic beasts from entering the Sword Sect from the outer perimeter of Ghost Forest vaguely sensed something was amiss.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the barrier that separated Ghost Forest from Sword Sect was ripped open, leaving a large hole in the middle.

Countless cracks spread outwards from the large, broken hole.

"Everyone, stand back!"

All eight elders of the Sword Sect gathered, but Ling Feng was the only one missing.

"Set up the formation!"

The eight elders dispersed, their expressions solemn, their immortal incantations flowing, and their swords dancing in the air.

Dozens of sword energies simultaneously slashed towards the gap in the barrier.

"Boom!"

Another loud bang was heard, followed by the roar of a demonic beast from the ghost forest.

"Devouring Beast!"

The faces of the eight elders immediately darkened.

"Has the Devouring Beast, which has not awakened for a thousand years, finally awakened at this moment?"

An elderly man with a white beard had a somber expression.

"hiss!"

A large number of trees in the Ghost Forest were paralyzed by the sword energy.

"Oh no! That Devouring Beast is trying to escape! Quick! We can't let it get away!"

The white-bearded old man made a hand seal, pointed to the sky, and five-colored sword energy burst forth above the clouds.

Sword Sect, officially enter a state of emergency!

"The Devouring Beast wreaked havoc on the world. A thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Sword Sect sealed it in the Ghost Forest."

The system has started its automatic explanation function again.

"If you can seal it, why not just kill it already!"

Xie Zhou was somewhat bewildered. The power of that sword energy was so great that it directly suppressed the huge black shadow in the Ghost Forest.

However, the sharp sword energy also knocked Xie Zhou against the wall. His blood and qi surged, and it took him a long time to recover from the dizziness.

"This Devouring Beast's outer skin is extremely tough; even divine-level weapons cannot damage its shell in the slightest. It's simply impossible to kill it!"

The system continued, its expression serious.

"By the way, let me remind you, if you don't leave this area soon, you might be killed by the aftershocks of this fight."

The system kept moving around in Xie Zhou's mind. Ever since the system took human form, Xie Zhou felt that he was being monitored in everything he did, and that this feeling had become even stronger.

"Where is Luo Fantian? Quick! Usually when something big happens, the protagonist can turn the tide. Let's follow Luo Fantian and see if we can seize some opportunities!"

Xie Zhou nodded slightly. Although the appearance of the Devouring Beast was a crisis, it was also an opportunity.

This is especially true for someone like Xie Zhou, who urgently needs to improve his strength.

"Is Luo Fantian in the Ghost Forest?"

Xie Zhou, who was on the run, had just reached a place far away from Ghost Forest when the system revealed that Luo Fantian was in Ghost Forest.

"What the hell? This thing went straight into the Ghost Forest to increase its strength? Is it trying to improve its strength or is it going to die?!"

Xie Zhou felt like cursing when he heard this.

"Something's not right, Luo Fantian's aura is off!"

The system said something else.

Before Xie Zhou could stop his escape, he felt a force pushing him from behind.

"Please, let Luo Fantian stay in the Ghost Forest! If we go in now, even if the Devouring Beast doesn't devour us, we'll still be killed by that sword energy!"

Xie Zhou was inexplicably propelled by a force.

"Go in! The organization needs you!"

With a loud roar, Xie Zhou fell into the Ghost Forest!
