"The exotic beasts are behaving oddly, having looted all the treasures from the ruins. Instead of sitting here cultivating, why not go up and take a look."
"That's right, maybe we could get so benefit; what if an exotic beast accidentally drops a treasure..."
"Hmph! I don't care about any treasure. I just want to see which shaless person has caused to waste an entire day of cultivation!"
Over at Luo Yan's side, everyone was chattering, all clamoring to follow the tail of the exotic beasts to witness the truth of the entire incident.
These people either felt indignant about the treasures being looted or wanted to fish in troubled waters. Few simply wanted to take a plain look.
And Luo Yan was coldly observing everyone's actions.
Since parting ways with Xu Fan, Luo Yan had hardly spoken a word to anyone.
It wasn't that Luo Yan was angry or looked down upon those who slandered Xu Fan behind his back. In fact, everyone here was from great families, and the world is bustling for profit; it's all about benefits after all.
Luo Yan naturally understood these principles, and he remained silent not out of anger but because there was no need to speak!
Before Qing Xuan's death, Luo Yan led the group to form a team, partly due to attacks by exotic beasts and besiegent by foreign monks, where everyone, in fear, had to huddle together for warmth, unite to resist the unknown danger.
On the other hand, Luo Yan had thoughts about the Bronze Box. Such a treasure, once in his hands, although it would eventually change hands, would bring unimaginable benefits to the Luo Family!
However, with Qing Xuan's death, many things have silently changed.
The incident of exotic beast attacks and foreign monks' siege has been brought to light as entirely being Qing Xuan's doing! With Qing Xuan dead, there is no longer any concern for anyone; thus, being together isn't as crucial anymore.
Moreover, Qing Xuan's death would surely lead to the Taoists making trouble; at this point, the Bronze Box has beco a hot potato, and striving to contend for it would only ultimately serve the Taoists.
Therefore, now Luo Yan only wants to cultivate well, not caring about anything else.
"Brother Luo, everyone's following the exotic beasts to their gathering place; why not join us? Without Brother Luo, we all feel sowhat uneasy."
Just then, Ah Niu trotted over and invited Luo Yan.
Luo Yan originally intended to refuse but suddenly changed his mind, nodding lightly to Ah Niu and agreeing directly.
After Qing Xuan's death, everyone was apprehensive, Luo Yan included. At this mont, even though Luo Yan had the highest cultivation among them, he still had to avoid the situation of being too much of a loner!
Being too indifferent and solitary, if anyone among them started feeling dissatisfied and said a few bad words about Luo Yan to the Taoists, it could spell disaster for Luo Yan and even the Luo Family!
This probability was low, but Luo Yan couldn't help being cautious.
"Miss Lan, Princess Wei'er, everyone's heading to the beasts' gathering place; leaving you two beauties here would be a huge cri, wouldn't it? Why not co along, enjoy the hustle and bustle, and relax a bit?"
Luo Yan agreed to everyone's request, then turned to invite Avril and Lan Xinyi.
Luo Yan wasn't sure what, if anything, had happened between these two won and Xu Fan, nor the nature of their relationship. Yet, since Xu Fan intended to break ties with them, it must be extraordinary between them.
Thus, Luo Yan naturally wanted to help the two won, preventing them from being besieged and dragged into Xu Fan's troubles.
"Alright."
Apparently sharing the sa thought, Lan Xinyi and Avril agreed without hesitation, prompting cheers from the crowd.
Both won were extraordinarily graceful, stunningly beautiful, and exceptionally powerful, the goddesses in everyone's hearts. However, they were too aloof; while they weren't cold to everyone, they certainly weren't warm, Luo Yan included.
At this mont, with the won agreeing to join, not only did everyone's sense of security rise, but it also added multiple breathtaking views along the way.
"Great! Let's move out!"
With Luo Yan's command, about twenty people followed the exotic beasts' footprints to where they were gathering…
The sa scene repeatedly unfolded in various parts of the ruins.
It wasn't just Luo Yan and the twenty-odd people; almost all the Huaxia cultivators, including those from the foreign country, were rushing towards the sa direction, either in threes and fives or in large groups.
Initially, in everyone's impression, exotic beasts were terrifying and aggressive. Yet today, while exotic beasts rioted throughout the ruins, passing by nurous cultivators, the cultivators, initially panicked and alard, beca numb at last.
What were exotic beasts? Who among them hadn't seen hundreds of exotic beasts?
Therefore, the curiosity in their hearts had long overco their fear of the exotic beasts. Even faced with a complicated array of exotic beast tracks, nurous as they were, no one backed down.
"Hurry up! These exotic beasts rioted and looted treasures; surely the Beast King is seriously ill! Seizing this chance, we can not only slay the Beast King but also take the treasures!"
"Prince Sarah is indeed a super genius, wise and intelligent! Once we obtain the treasures, Prince Sarah will definitely soar to new heights!"
"More than that! Prince Sarah, conquering the strong with the weak, unperturbed by nurous exotic beasts, this story will be passed down as a legend, and Prince Sarah will surely be admired by later generations, be reverenced forever!"
Led by a young prince, a group of foreign monks briskly followed the exotic beasts, complints lingering in the air long after the wind carried them away...
"This must be Xu Fan's doing! Let's go! I'll make sure he pays for this!"
"The ruins belong to the public, so how can Xu Fan claim all the treasures for himself? As fellow Huaxia cultivators, I can't believe Xu Fan would kill us all!"
"Exactly! We'll demand justice!"
A group of Huaxia cultivators also rushed towards where the exotic beasts were gathering…
Finally, sixty or so cultivators from the ruins converged from different directions at one place, precisely Qing Xuan's previous Cave Mansion, where Xu Fan was in seclusion.
However, though they finally found the place, no one rushed into the cave mansion, nor did anyone demand justice from Xu Fan. At this mont, everyone was gaping, dumbfounded by what they saw.
At the mouth of the cave mansion, treasures were piled like a mountain, and behind them were countless, at least ten thousand, exotic beasts!
What is the scene like with ten thousand exotic beasts gathered together? If these exotic beasts wanted to conquer a city, one charge could drown it!
However, at this mont, the ten thousand exotic beasts were unbelievably obedient, standing quietly without making a sound.
Suddenly, a figure leisurely walked out from the cave mansion, and then a scene occurred that everyone would rember forever: the ten thousand exotic beasts knelt down as if seeing their king, bowing toward that figure.
A re figure standing blithely there, drawing the worship of ten thousand beasts!
