Two figures and a frog could be seen speeding through empty space.
Being a Dark Nether Python, Old black had strong devil energy. His devil energy billowed in the sky and formed black clouds.
The door of the thousand cave chambers.
From today onwards, nobody will be here. Lin Fan is the only person with the key which is required to enter.
Moreover, the Thousand deep cave had already lost its value after Lin Fan emptied it.
~If I were to talk about my regrets, the only regret I have is not coming across the large group of Heaven Star Border beasts that froggy mentioned. They might have already died after such a long time has passed.~
~How great would it be if I came across that?~
At the entrance.
The frog took another glance at the Thousand deep cave. It had spent a few ten thousand years here, living without a purpose. From a frog without cultivation, it was now a frog in the Heaven Star Border Stage One.
If an ordinary human spent a few ten thousand years in a cave, even without any bloodline or aptitude, he would still become an elite by now.
However, he was now a frog, a cold-blooded animal. How many ten thousand years had he spent, and how many different methods had he tried to get where he was today? Even the frog couldn’t explain what kept him going.
~Maybe it was my girlfriend that I missed dearly.~
“Froggy, can’t bear to leave?” Lin Fan asked while smiling.
The frog recovered from its thoughts and jumped up and down on Lin Fan’s shoulder while holding its front foot up. “Master, 666!” It shouted happily. “Let’s go to our future!”
Hope and fear could be seen in the frog’s eyes. This was the first time he had ever left the Thousand deep cave since being trapped in it as a frog.
Old black was filled with excitement too. He had been sealed in the cave for more than ten thousand years, and he was unaware of how the outside world was like anymore. ~Is it still as magnificent as the past?~
The light from the Door of the thousand caves shone down on them.
“I’m old…” Old black took in a deep breath, sucking in endless Heaven Star energy. It filled up his body, making him physically stronger.
“My body was damaged too seriously. I can only fully recover after a long time. I’ll take revenge then, Thousand cave patriarch.”
Old black swore to himself. He was finally free after ten thousand years. Even though he wanted revenge, he had personally experienced how terrifying the Thousand cave patriarch was.
~Luckily, I survived back then.~
~But why did the Thousand cave patriarch choose to seal me instead?~
~As an elite, it’s better to kill all your enemies than leave any behind. No elites are compassionate.~
~Whatever, I’m now out. Life will go back to normal again.~
According to the frog, Lin Fan had spent a month in the Thousand deep chambers.
~I didn’t even feel the time pass! This is horrifying.~
“Let’s go. We are going back to the sect.”
Lin Fan flew up to the sky and tore space apart. Bringing along Old black and the frog, he dashed out of the cave towards the Magnificent Flame sect.
Outside.
“Things have changed.” Old black gasped.
“The place is being sealed!” The frog said seriously.
“What are you talking about?” He couldn’t understand Old black and the frog’s words. ~They look like country bumpkins who are excited to finally be out of the cave.”
“Master, this is different from the world that I lived in previously.” Old Black answered. “Beasts and elites used to be everywhere in the past, but I can’t feel them now!”
“Look over there! It’s such a huge area, but there are no powerful beasts to be seen! This is extremely strange.”
“It’s been ten thousand years since you’ve been outside. So, of course, things have changed drastically. It’s a different era now, and the era you lived in is long past.”
The frog stood on Lin Fan’s shoulder, eyes glued to the sky. Rather than seeing clouds in the sky, all it saw were familiar talismans that made him scared.
“Frog, what did you see?” Lin Fan asked.
“Master, I’m looking at the sky.” The frog answered. But he didn’t voice out his worries. “Master, what is a sect? Are the people there filled with love?”
“Yes, very much so. Not only are they filled with love, but they also love eating frogs too. Beware.”
“I’m a frog that has been around for a very long time! How dare they eat me!” Frog yelled. “Master, you must protect me! I’m a frog that shouts 666!”
They flew past another city.
Misty city.
Lin Fan wasn’t planning to stop at the city, but he frowned when he saw a scene in the city.
In the city.
“Mayor, all our residents have been brainwashed by the Divine religion.” A man in armor said seriously. He turned to the residents who were sitting in the public square, chanting loudly together.
“Karma, Good and evil, Reincarnation…..”
“Senior brother Zhen Xuan, what should we do now?” The mayor asked, turning to the man next to him. The mayor was a Magnificent Flame sect disciple. Zhen Xuan, the Magnificent Flame Sect disciple guarding the Misty city was of higher cultivation than him. Thus, the mayor addressed Xuan Zhen as Senior brother.
Qing Xuan’s robe danced in the air. He had a bright pair of eyes, and he carried a sword on his back. However, worry could be seen in his eyes as he tried to come up with a solution.
“This…..” Qing Xuan hesitated. He couldn’t think of a good solution.
“Mayor, lord, from what I see, we can only kill them all.” The man in armor said. “They seem to be summoning something, and I believe that their chants will affect one’s mind. I’m afraid that the other residents will be soon affected.”
“No, these are all Magnificent Flame Sect citizens; how can you kill them?” Qing Xuan immediately retorted.
“How could this be? When did they turn into the Divine religion’s followers? Damn it, why didn’t we realize? What should we do now that they have such a huge group?”
“Ahhh!”
Suddenly, the residents that were quarantined by the soldiers afar stood up as if they were being infected. They had no cultivation, but they picked up weapons and tried to kill everyone they saw. There was no difference between them and a madman.
The soldiers went up and forced them onto the ground, taking away their weapons. But despite this, the residents continue to scream and wail.
“Mayor, lord, we can’t wait anymore.” The man in the armor said. “It’s their choice to become the Divine religion’s follower. It isn’t worth it to spare their lives and end up having more casualties.”
Just then, a soldier dashed over. “Mayor, we found these books in their houses.”
The mayor grabbed it immediately.
<Divine Religion theory>
He scanned through the book quickly.
His face turned black.
“Damn the Divine Religion. How dare they disseminate such things?” The mayor gritted his teeth.
Qing Xuan took over the book and looked through it. He was taken aback by the content as well.
The book wasn’t special, but those who are unhappy with the Magnificent Flame sect would agree with the content and connect with it. They would then be brainwashed and become possessed.
“This was unexpected from the Divine Religion. They are trying to ruin our sect!”
Suddenly!
A black whirlpool appeared above the public square.
The residents sitting crossed-legged cheered at the scene.
“Thank you, Pope! The Pope will protect us from anything!”
A terrifying force could be felt coming from the whirlpool. A hand belonging to a demon could be seen coming out of the vortex.
Seeing this, the man in armor was alarmed. “Mayor, lord, we must kill them now! Or we will be in deep trouble!”
“No. They are all Magnificent Flame Sect’s citizens no matter what. We can’t kill them.” Qing Xuan stopped the man. The sword flew up from behind him. It shone brightly and went towards the whirlpool, aiming for the devil’s arm.
But it was no use.
The devil snapped its finger, and a strong power could be felt. It sent Qing Xuan flying away. He only managed to stabilize himself after some time.
The residents who were sitting crossed-legged suddenly stood up and formed a circle. They kneeled on the ground as if they were welcoming something.
“Insane, all of them are insane!” The mayor cried. But it was too late. The terrifying force was coming towards them.
The soldiers guarding the scene felt the power and were horrified. They trembled and stepped backward as they were unable to resist the force.
The devil climbed out of the whirlpool slowly, revealing its head. The corners of its mouth were torn, and it had scary jagged teeth. It’s stared at its surroundings with its lantern-sized eyes as black smoke seeped out from the whirlpool.
The man in the armor glared at Qing Xuan, ignoring his status. “Are you planning to kill all of us?”
“How dare you…” Hearing this, Qing Xuan flared up.
Suddenly, changes took place as a loud voice could be heard.
“Demon Sealing Monument!”
The nine Demon Sealing Monuments shot down from the sky like rays of light. When they stuck onto the ground, a powerful light screen could be seen hovering over the square.
A ray of light shot down, and with an attack, intense energy gushed into the nine Demon Sealing Monuments.
“As a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple, how can you ignore other people’s advice? How are you going to pay if the whole city was wiped out?” Lin Fan glared and Qing Xuan and sneered.
“Who are you?” Hearing him, Qing Xuan’s face fell.
Lin Fan ignored him and went into the seal to beat the devil up. He then suppressed him with his energy.
The devil let out a blood-curdling cry and crawled back into the whirlpool, trying to leave.
“Devil, how dare you attack our god?” The possessed residents let out an angry cry. They glared at Lin Fan as if they were going to devour him.
“Useless. I’ll kill you all to save everyone else in the city.”
He launched an attack and killed them without hesitation.
The whirlpool struck immediately.
After a short pause, Lin Fan went towards the whirlpool. ~Let’s see where this is connected to.~
“Frog, Old black, stay here and look for more Divine Religion followers. Kill any that you come across.”
As soon as he finished his words, the whirlpool closed.
