546 547A Fourth Layer (1/2)

When the few Sect Elders from Purple Qi Pavilion heard what he had to say their faces changed slightly. The second layer of the Tan Zi Beast Lair was so dangerous. Despite this, Wu Feng wanted to unleash his powers within the lair. Moreover, there would be no Sect Elders protecting him. It was hard to say if anything would go wrong.

”No way, that is too dangerous.” One of the Sect Elders furrowed his brows. Wu Feng was a talented disciple of Purple Qi Pavilion. In future, he would become an ancient martial art practitioner with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm. It was even possible that he could ascend to the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm. He would be an exceptionally great loss for the sect.

A huge number of ancient martial art practitioners were surging into the Tan Zi Beast Lair. It seemed to have disrupted the order within. Many of the strong monstrous beasts in the Tan Zi Beast Lair had become hypervigilant, meaning the lair would be all the more dangerous.

In normal circumstances, encountering a Snow Leopard King would be unusual. However, not long after they had entered the second layer, they had already encountered such a frightening monstrous beast. Even more seriously, they had even attracted a group of monstrous beasts. Clearly, things were very abnormal.

Those strong and powerful monstrous beasts that were normally asleep in the depths of the lair had seemingly all walked out from within their caves.

”Sect Elder Yu, my purpose for coming to Tan Zi Beast Lair this time is to gain exposure and experience. Master, you had the same intentions as well. Why are you giving up halfway through? Additionally, the talents from other sects are currently training in Tan Zi Beast Lair. As one of the Four Geniuses, how can I retreat? The disciples of Purple Qi Pavilion will not lose out to anyone. I, Wu Feng, certainly will not.”

Wu Feng spoke with a solemn expression. Everyone knew of the possibilities of meeting with danger. However, why were others brave enough to face the dangers and constantly train and explore within the lair? They even conquered layer after layer. If he did not have enough courage, he would be surpassed by others soon and would be left far behind.

If Yin Banshuang and that youth dared to stay and continue bursting through the depths of the lair, he, Wu Feng, would do the same.

Meng Tiantian was the first to express her agreement. ”Sect senior brother, I support you; how can my sect senior brother lose to others? However, you absolutely have to take care of yourself and watch out for your safety.” She realized that there was no use in trying to talk her sect senior brother out of it. After all, he was someone who had dared to challenge Jiang Gujian. Although Wu Fung did not necessarily have the capabilities he needed, he still constantly worked towards his goals.

A few of the Purple Qi Pavilion Sect Elders shared glances. They all sighed. They all knew that adversity could only make talents grow stronger. There was no master who had a smooth-sailing path. The Sect Elders did not say anything more. That meant that they had given silent approval for Wu Feng's decision.

Wu Feng wrapped a palm around his fist to salute at them. ”Can our Sect Elders please escort sect junior sister safely back to Cropped Top Mountain?” Then, with a flash of his figure, he disappeared, heading in the direction of Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang.

Mo Wen accompanied Yin Banshuang in blindly exploring the second layer. After an hour, he finally asked a little impatiently, ”Have you found the entrance to the third layer yet?”

There were monstrous beasts everywhere. Even though Mo Wen had very strong perception and judgment, and could avoid those strong monstrous beasts from afar, there were simply too many monstrous beasts in the second layer. They were unable to avoid all of them. Along the way, he had already lost count of just how many monstrous beasts they had killed.

”There are many entrances to the third layer. If I point in a direction, would you dare to go?” Yin Banshuang held a map in her hands as she looked at Mo Wen coldly. This lad was not even doing anything. Yet, he had the cheek to look at her so impatiently, as if she had begged him to come along with her.

There were quite a number of passageways linking the second and third layer. However, many of them were heavily guarded by very strong monstrous beasts. There were even huge monstrous beasts around. Going to such areas would be looking for trouble for themselves, even if they did not get killed.

Mo Wen stroked his chin and said, ”If you dare, I dare.”

Yin Banshuang let out a cold humph, no longer caring about him. She continued to run on the wasteland. It was clearly an underground area. Yet, it was so vast that it seemed like a world of its own.

After another hour, the two of them finally found a feasible and accessible passageway. It would allow them to travel from the second layer to the third layer.

They emerged into the third layer. Mo Wen had not had the chance to survey his surroundings when a wave of cold air immediately hit the. Even with his cultivation, it had made his hair stand on end. ”So cold!” he exclaimed.

”The temperature in Tan Zi Beast Lair is very odd. From the third layer onwards, the temperature will begin to decline. It will get colder on each layer and the fifth layer will be the coldest. However, by the sixth level, there will be a reversal in the temperature, and it will suddenly become very hot. From there, the subsequent layers will only get hotter and hotter. The eighth layer will be the hottest one. It would feel like you have entered an oven. As for the ninth layer, no one has entered that before.”

Yin Banshuang was very calm. Clearly, she had already known about some of the temperature fluctuations within the beast lair. An enshrouding inner Qi began to emanate from her body, locking the cold air out.

The cold in the beast lair was very strange. Even an ancient martial art practitioner found it difficult to completely lock the cold air out. Even an ancient martial art practitioner with the highest of cultivations would feel the cold in the area.
