The series of events unfolding in front of him, even Xu Fan, were montarily stunned.
The lion actually has gigantic wings! And it can fly! If you told this to others, they would probably laugh until their teeth fell out, right?
However, in these ruins, it's not strange at all.
Exotic beasts, unique to the ruins, so far from the dozens of exotic beasts Xu Fan has encountered, not a single one is ordinary. They all differ sowhat from the beasts of the outside world.
Therefore, seeing a lion that can fly is not particularly surprising.
However, the identity of that figure puzzled Xu Fan to no end.
An elaborate plot to control exotic beasts and ally with foreign monks to slaughter Huaxia cultivators. The mastermind behind it was actually a Huaxia cultivator?
This is simply like a fantasy tale!
Keep in mind, the young people entering the ruins are not only super geniuses but also represent the formidable forces backing them! What's happening now is akin to soone outright betraying their compatriots and colluding with outsiders, shocking!
Phew!
Xu Fan took a long breath, temporarily suppressing the shock and doubt in his heart.
Although that figure look like a Huaxia cultivator, nothing is 100% certain yet. The truth will be revealed after interrogating that foreign monk!
The figure stepping on a mighty lion, soaring through the air, is evidently the mastermind behind controlling exotic beasts, leaving alone now ans the foreign monk must still be in the cave mansion!
A Vajra Realm foreign monk, Xu Fan naturally doesn't take them seriously. He swaggered up, and according to his mory, perford a series of hand seals, striking the transparent air in front of him.
In just a mont, the cave mansion reappeared before Xu Fan's eyes. Without hesitation, he stepped in boldly.
Within the cave mansion, there are restrictions, Xu Fan did not activate his divine sense. The cave is vast, twisted and turned, akin to a grand estate!
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Xu Fan's expression changed, quickening his pace in a certain direction. Turning a corner, within the cave mansion, there is a flower bed, filled with various flowers and plants.
"Wrong! These are... treasures?!"
Looking at the many flowers and plants in the flower bed on the verge of blooming, Xu Fan was greatly alard.
It's well known that the ruins are filled with treasures, especially deep within where every treasure, especially those with powerful effects, is a marvel of nature, carrying a divine aura, almost impossible to gather all at one place!
Yet now, all these treasures are gathered together like landscaping vegetation, competing in beauty!
This... clearly isn't the work of nature, but deliberately cultivated to create a cave mansion and a flower bed years or decades ago!
Witnessing this, Xu Fan finally had so understanding of why the mastermind exerted such effort to eradicate the many Huaxia Vajra Realm cultivators!
The reason is simple, there are simply too many treasures and opportunities within these ruins! Everyone is just entering the ruins, mostly clueless, and it's easiest to kill them now.
However, if given so ti, everyone will find their opportunities, and most cultivators will likely advance to Zhiwei Realm powerhouses. Then, there would be over forty Zhiwei Realm powerhouses among Huaxia cultivators!
This formidable force, even if the mastermind can control exotic beasts, would still find it headache-inducing. After all, Zhiwei Realm powerhouses can temporarily traverse the skies, making it difficult to block with just a few exotic beasts!
"These treasures aren't ripe yet, but it seems they will mature soon."
Xu Fan pondered for a mont, ultimately deciding to ignore it and continued forward.
Treasures are precious, but unripe ones won't have optimal effect, better to let them mature rather than pick or harm them, wasting nature's gift.
Besides, the mastermind isn't aware of the cave mansion's exposure. Once the treasures mature, Xu Fan will return to collect them.
After walking a few steps, Xu Fan suddenly furrowed his brows as the air carried a faint scent of blood.
Following the blood scent forward, surely there, on a clearing, traces of blood were slowly dissipating, as for that foreign monk, they were nowhere in sight.
There's hardly any need to speculate, it's clear the foreign monk was silenced.
Why did the mastermind kill and silence others? Is there dissatisfaction with the foreign monk's inefficiency? Or fearing the foreign monk might reveal their whereabouts, so hurriedly went into hiding?
It's not hard to speculate.
Among those entering the ruins, whether Huaxia or foreign cultivators, none were simple characters! Thus, even if the mastermind had imnse power, backing, the relationship between both sides could only be cooperative.
The foundation of cooperation lies in mutual value, and as the foreign monks' plan failed and they perished, they naturally lost their utility to the mastermind.
This is the true reason for the foreign monk's demise!
"Seems this mastermind not only possesses great power, but also ticulous planning, mysterious thods, and ruthless decisiveness!"
Xu Fan's expression, at this mont, showed a few traces of solemnity.
However mighty an opponent, they always have weaknesses, whereas a ruthless opponent is even more terrifying! To have laid such a startling plan decades ago, this mastermind is clearly not ordinary!
The decades-old cave mansion, controllable exotic beasts, perilous ruins… all these feel like an invisible maw intending to devour all life within the ruins.
And Xu Fan, will not allow this to happen.
Having thoroughly searched the cave mansion, besides the flower bed, nothing seed special. Of course, even if there were, they must be covered by restrictions, which Xu Fan cannot bypass, staying is pointless.
Without hesitation, he departed the cave mansion without looking back, accelerating to the maximum, like a whirlwind chasing after the mastermind's retreating direction.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows; this cave mansion might not necessarily be the enemy's true lair.
Moreover, the mastermind suddenly left, whatever their intention, Xu Fan must follow to uncover everything.
Most importantly, this ti, Xu Fan must reveal the true identity of the mastermind! Whether a traitor of Huaxia or a foreign hero!
"No matter who you are, I must uncover your true face!"
