Chapter 620 - Troubles Brewing (1/2)

After instructing the group to seize the time to train, Yang Ling left the Wizard Pagoda's Space, silently appearing within the tent. He pulled back the dr.a.p.es and walked out of the tent.

Cracking the secrets behind the Dragon Head Ring and creating Magical Divine Rings were important as it influenced the successful setting up of the Magical Beast Divine System. However, if it was already this troublesome to break open a first-level Dragon Head Ring, then it would be even more difficult to break open the higher-level Dragon Head Rings. There was no way that he could break open them all within a short amount of time. He did not have to rush it either. He could break open the Dragon Head Rings and create the Magical Divine Rings while he was traveling in the future.

”Lord!” Seeing Yang Ling's figure, the bald Mammoth Butler and Thousand-handed Blood Vine Elizabeth who had been patrolling around the tent approached him at the same time, bowing respectfully. Their expressions were haggard as if they were completely exhausted. What surprised Yang Ling even more was that there were bloodstains on Butler's clothes, and it seemed as though he had been lightly injured.

Could it be that the people from the Algernon Divine System had returned?

Yang Ling's heart shook when he recalled the large group of powerful guards by Dio's side. He let out his massive Mental Energy, cautiously scouting the movements around him. With the abilities of the other party, the outcome would be disastrous for them if they launched a surprise attack on Yang Ling and his group while they were not paying attention! An ordinary person would not be able to defend against the surprise attacks of a few peak High-level Deities, much less Divine Duty Experts!

Whoosh…

His massive Mental Energy spread outward like a spider web, easily enveloping the entire radius of the wanderers' campsite before spreading out rapidly once again. After absorbing Vladimir's immense Soul Energy and advancing to a Mid-level Soul Wizard, Yang Ling's Soul Energy had improved by leaps and bounds, his Divine Knowledge now becoming much more powerful than before. He could clearly sense every movement around him even without the help of his patrolling Magical Beasts. There were many people acting sneakily within the campsite, but Yang Ling could not detect Dio and his group no matter how many times he tried.

”Butler, you seemed to have fought with someone, what's with the blood on your clothes?” After heaving a sigh of relief, Yang Ling asked the bald Mammoth beside him doubtfully. Other than the arrogant group from the Algernon Divine System, he could not think of anyone else who would come and attack them.

”Yang Ling, the situation is troublesome, very troublesome!”

Just as Butler had clenched his teeth and was about to report the situation, the Chief Elven Priest, who was wielding her magical staff, voiced out as she walked toward him together with the God of Swords Gerald. After receiving news that Yang Ling had come out, the black-robed elder Wilcox, Richardson, and the rest of the group also walked quickly toward him. All of them had a sullen expression. It was as if something terrible had just happened.

”Many things happened at the campsite during the few days that you were training.” After sitting down within the tent and seeing the injuries on Butler, the God of Swords, Gerald, the Chief Elven Priest and the rest of the group were overcome with worry.

”At the start, we were worried that the people from the Algernon Divine System would send men and engage in a surprise attack and thus sent men to communicate with the wanderers in the campsite, hoping to join forces as we headed toward the Wandering Castle at the Sunset Plains. Unexpectedly…”

The Chief Elven Priest paused, then slowly started explaining things.

As it turned out, the entire campsite of the wanderers had broken into a commotion after the people from the Algernon Divine System had been pushed back, everyone heading over to greet the Chief Elven Priest, God of Swords, Richardson, and the rest of the group. Some of them invited the group to have a few cups to drink; others wanted to band up with them and continue the journey toward the Wandering Castle together; others even sent over special items from their hometowns… They had been incredibly passionate, partying for hours.

However, the situation took a drastic turn for the worst overnight!

Sometime after, rumors of Yang Ling being a mere Mid-level Deity and only managing to defeat Divine Duty Expert Vladimir with the help of a top-notch Core Divine Weapon protecting his body, spread within the campsite. The rumor was that whoever obtained the protective Core Divine Weapon that Yang Ling possessed would become an unparalleled fighter who was even more powerful than an average Divine Duty Expert in an instant.

The reason for the wanderers roaming the dimensions all these years was to search for ways to break through their bottleneck and advance to the next level. The reason for them taking the risk and entering the Graveyard of Deities and Demons was to see if they were fortunate enough to obtain some treasure that had immense power. A top-notch Core Divine Weapon that contained immense power would definitely allure them!

High-level divinity was hard to come by, but coming in contact with a top-notch Core Divine Weapon required a whole other level of luck!

Even a high-level Divine Duty Expert within the Divine Systems would not be able to easily obtain a Core Divine Weapon, much less these wanderers who roamed outside of the various major Divine Systems! To some of the wanderers who had not managed to achieve a breakthrough despite training for tens, if not hundreds of thousands of years, a Divine Weapon with immense power was the only shortcut they had when it came to improving their abilities!

Early the next day, some of the wanderers approached the group to fish for information about Yang Ling's abilities and background under the pretext of paying their respects, being incredibly passionate. Wilcox, Richardson, and the rest of the group were not newcomers to the business and naturally glossed over the topic. At the start, the group had not paid too much attention to the situation, but as more and more people started developing their own plans and as more and more people started trying to dig out information about Yang Ling's abilities and background, the group quickly started becoming more cautious, feigning ignorance. Wilcox was experienced and soon managed to find out about this alarming rumor after making a few rounds around the campsite.
