Chapter 2714 - 2703: Don’t Just Stand There

Ye Chenfeng was feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.

Although his cultivation was temporarily suppressed to the first level of the Earth God Realm, his perception remained intact.

He clearly felt that Lin Yurou’s cultivation was at the Pinnacle of the Lesser Perfected Peak of the Divine Venerable Realm; whereas Lin Anhao’s cultivation was at the initial stage of the Peak of Divine Venerable Realm.

With his cultivation at the Middle Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, entering here had already caused him continuous setbacks, let alone someone at the Divine Venerable Realm. In his view, Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao were here simply courting death.

However, Ye Chenfeng chose to believe Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao’s words, after all, his apparent cultivation was only at the first level of the Earth God Realm. If they intended to attack him, there would be no need for such idle talk.

Since they were the descendants of old friends of Old Bai and Old Hei, Ye Chenfeng decided not to fuss too much about them.

The Skyhawk’s head was still hidden in the dark, and Ye Chenfeng had no intention of letting it appear immediately. It never hurt to be cautious; keeping the Skyhawk hidden for the time being was also a wise choice.

Currently, the mystical blood of the serpent demon within him had not been fully expelled, and the Spiritual Qi River within his meridians remained active. He could clearly feel the mystical blood of the serpent demon slowly evaporating further.

Even if the mystical blood of the serpent demon completely evaporated, his cultivation would require a buffer time to recover.

Therefore, though the mystical blood of the serpent demon was diminishing, his cultivation remained at the first level of the Earth God Realm.

Ye Chenfeng looked at Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao, saying: "Alright, I’ll follow you then!"

Old Bai and Old Hei were also here, which was a good thing for Ye Chenfeng; perhaps his two masters might also find some opportunities here.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng reply casually, Lin Yurou, who had an extremely pure and delicate appearance, slightly furrowed her brows: "With only the first level of Earth God Realm cultivation, you’ve caused so much trouble in the Upper World. The Upper World isn’t as simple as you think; take care of yourself! We’ll do our utmost to ensure your safety here."

Lin Yurou spoke with a lecturing tone, clearly disapproving of Ye Chenfeng’s demeanor.

Lin Anhao originally thought Ye Chenfeng would be unable to resist retorting, and as he tried to play the peacemaker, he noticed Ye Chenfeng seemed completely unaffected by Lin Yurou’s words, without any change in his facial expression.

This made Lin Anhao somewhat resentful towards Ye Chenfeng, considering him devoid of masculine pride—a real man should have reacted emotionally to the words just spoken.

What Lin Anhao didn’t realize was that Ye Chenfeng didn’t take them seriously at all. After all, would an elephant bother to argue with an ant?

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao had lost interest in Ye Chenfeng and began surveying the small palace.

Just then.

The beast sculptures within the palace, looking particularly bleak, suddenly exuded fierce auras.

Although these auras were all at the Divine Venerable Realm level, among them were also Extreme Peaks of Divine Venerable Realm.

Furthermore, the eyes of these wretched-looking sculptures emitted a sinister green light.

This unexpected change prompted Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao, who were closely examining their surroundings, to furrow their brows with grim expressions. Their cultivations were at the Pinnacle of the Lesser Perfected Peak of the Divine Venerable Realm, while the other was at the initial stage of the Peak of Divine Venerable Realm; if these sculptures indeed possessed combat capabilities, they would be no match.

Thus.

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao vigorously attacked the sculptures, employing various powerful secret techniques, but their power had no effect on these sculptures; it was as if their attacks dissipated in the air upon contact.

Seeing their attacks were entirely ineffective, Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao’s expressions became increasingly somber.

With Old Bai and Old Hei delayed, if these sculptures could move and fight, they would likely perish here.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ye Chenfeng’s face remained expressionless. Even if the sculptures could move, they were mere Divine Venerable Realm strength. Hidden Skyhawk, though with only one head left and diminished cultivation, still retained at least late-stage Divine Emperor Realm prowess.

Ye Chenfeng, however, didn’t plan to linger here. He wasn’t worried about Old Bai and Old Hei; he was nurtured by them and understood their fighting capabilities well, knowing they had several aces up their sleeves.

Moreover, not only Old Bai and Old Hei had arrived, other Upper World experts were continuously entering here.

Ye Chenfeng was currently undisguised; if recognized, he would surely become a target for all.

His eyes narrowed slightly; the blood he had forced out earlier had dripped onto the ground, revealing faint traces on the surface.

This discovery made him tense, as he pressed his palm against the ground.

After careful sensing, he confirmed a formation was hidden here, which seemed to reveal its traces only with blood.

Ye Chenfeng’s palm rested on the exposed part; pressing his hand on an unmarked spot, he felt nothing indicating a formation.

Furthermore, the visible traces were subtle, unlikely to be considered formations by ordinary people.

After careful sensing, Ye Chenfeng determined the formation’s core was likely linked to opening a hidden passage.

Though inconspicuous, the formation was rather simple.

Ye Chenfeng rose and walked toward the sculptures, stopping before the largest one — sculpted with an arrow piercing its chest grotesquely.

By now, the aura from these sculptures was growing intense.

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao knew they had to wait for the powerful figures in the stone chamber above, as the entrance was closed.

Ye Chenfeng began slowly pushing the largest sculpture.

This sculpture was the Array Eye of the formation, moving it to the correct position would open the hidden passage.

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao saw Ye Chenfeng foolishly pushing the sculpture, furrowing their brows deeper.

The sculpture moved to the correct position.

With a "boom."

The stone wall at the front of the small palace suddenly opened, revealing a passage before them.

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao’s eyes widened slightly.

Ye Chenfeng remarked casually: "Don’t just stand there, let’s go!"
