Xu Fan killed Qing Xuan, and after leaving the ruins, he will certainly be targeted intensely by the Taoists. Although Xu Fan's strength seems formidable, it's akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot when faced with the deep-rooted power of the Taoists!
Therefore, Xu Fan urgently needs to beco stronger!
Collecting treasures and breaking through realms are efforts Xu Fan makes to strengthen himself. However, rely at the Vajra Realm's Middle Stage, he is still not enough to contend with the Taoists. But this stage is already the limit Xu Fan can attain; forcing another breakthrough would cause an unstable foundation, outweighing the gains!
Thus, despite the danger and murderous nature of the old ape, Xu Fan must go and investigate!
Fortune favors the bold! Opportunities are the sa!
Having prepared everything, Xu Fan walks calmly towards the direction of the forbidden land.
How terrifying is Xu Fan's speed? Even without using the Fire Wings behind him, the re dozens of miles are covered in an instant.
Upon reaching the so-called forbidden area, it turned out to be a very ordinary low mountain, lush with foliage, the view blocked by endless trees and forests. Standing outside the forbidden land, Xu Fan clearly feels an eerie chill engulfing him, as if the whole mountain is infinitely dark, and entering it feels even colder, as if the temperature has dropped significantly.
"Such strong Evil Qi!"
Xu Fan understands this is a reaction caused by extrely powerful Evil Qi. Xu Fan's Evil Qi might affect people before him, but this old ape can influence an entire mountain, showing how formidable and terrifying its power is!
"Chirping!"
Suddenly, a familiar chirp cos from above. Looking up, it turns out to be the little golden monkey swinging on the trees.
The golden monkey, upon seeing Xu Fan, imdiately covers its tail with both hands, staring at Xu Fan with a full face of vigilance as if fearing Xu Fan would rush up again to grab its tail and hang it upside down.
Xu Fan is speechless, yet refrains from speaking, only quietly watching the golden monkey.
The golden monkey is evidently just a clueless little creature, talking to it would only be a waste of ti.
Seeing Xu Fan not making any aggressive moves, the golden monkey finally exhales a breath, glances at Xu Fan, then swings on the tree towards a direction, with Xu Fan stepping up to follow.
Bong, bong, bong!
A series of bell rings sounds, and ahead appears a small temple!
The temple is not big, only the size of a small school, from which bell sounds emanate ceaselessly. Yet, the bells intended to be peaceful and calm now seem to carry a tone of slaughter.
Three big characters are written on the temple plaque: Jin Chan Temple!
The golden monkey flickers, already inside the temple, vanishing from sight, leaving Xu Fan standing alone at the temple entrance, motionless.
It's not that Xu Fan doesn't want to move; rather, as he arrives at the entrance, an imnsely terrifying pressure sweeps over him, gripping him tightly, rendering him unable to move a fraction despite his strength!
This pressure is unbelievably violent and clearly carries unlimited intent to kill!
Great horror!
Xu Fan can almost be certain that the terrifying golden ape from a thousand years ago is within this temple! Moreover, it is now staring unfavorably, showing intentions to kill!
Yet, having experienced a mont of panic, Xu Fan quickly calms his spirit. Not only does he refuse to turn and flee, but he also speaks loudly, "In the mountain, there is a temple; with bell ringing forth, it must be a place of peace. I seek for chance, dear elder in the temple, would you let et you?"
The pressure upon Xu Fan remains incredibly terrifying, with the intent to kill unabated. However, after a mont of silence, a heavy voice erges from within the temple, "The temple contains no opportunity, only endless killing intent. Outsiders, retreat quickly, lest you lose your life!"
Xu Fan is slightly stunned hearing this.
Previously, it was you who let the golden monkey bring here, but now that I'm here, you refuse to let enter?
Xu Fan understands that if he truly follows this voice's words to retreat quickly, he might not even make it out of the mountain before eting his demise!
Yet Xu Fan is puzzled by what trick the old ape is playing.
Composed, Xu Fan speaks loudly again, "The relic is unsighted, elder guarding here alone, wouldn't it be dull and lonely? I've co with admiration and goodwill, elder, why do you insist on refusing to et ?"
"Ca with admiration? Kid, do you really think I don't know what you're thinking? I'll say it again, there's no chance here you're looking for!"
Unexpectedly, the voice inside grows more irritable, seemingly truly wanting to drive Xu Fan away, "This temple was left a thousand years ago, it suppresses an incredibly terrifying Demon Beast within! If this beast erges, the world might fall into chaos!"
"If the beast erges because of you, can you bear this responsibility?"
Xu Fan doesn't reply, choosing instead to ponder the implications of these words.
The golden monkey is clearly the old ape's descendant, and the words of the ten Beast Kings also point out that the old ape is murderously inclined; entering this forbidden place ensures certain death!
What does this an?
It ans at least the old ape can freely roam within the forbidden area, and is not necessarily suppressed within the temple!
Thus, this voice is lying!
"Elder! This temple scarcely asures inches; how could it suppress a Demon Beast? Furthermore, even a Beast cannot survive a thousand years without dying, can it?"
Xu Fan speaks falsely, intending to further probe the temple's inhabitant, or rather, the old ape.
The old ape seeing should be incredibly excited, eager to annihilate instantly, yet the old ape's attitude is abnormally peculiar; it refrains from striking, as if unwilling to even see Xu Fan, leaving Xu Fan utterly bewildered.
"Kid! I've been suppressing this place for a hundred years! My temperant has long since been assimilated by the Demon Beast. Were it not for a sliver of my true nature still remaining, do you know you would've disappeared into ash long ago?"
"I'll say it once more, retreat quickly, and your life will be spared!"
At this, even Xu Fan hesitates slightly.
Is the inside truly that of a High Monk? A High Monk from a hundred years ago who ca to suppress the old ape? But the problem is...
With a glint in his eyes, Xu Fan identifies a misalignnt.
The golden monkey is rely akin to a ten-year-old human child, at most a few decades old if considered a Spiritual Beast; if the golden ape was truly suppressed, how could it leave such a descendant?
Gritting his teeth, Xu Fan speaks loudly, "Elder, to be truthful, our Taoist juniors have already sought a fractured Beast Taming Art from a location in Myriad Beasts Sect, able to annihilate the Demon Beast."
"I am here on a mission! To support you, elder!"
