560 The Coquettish King (2/2)

Half a day later…

”We're here. It's right ahead.” Just as Lin Fan was about to fall asleep, Fairy Hongyun's voice rang out. He raised his head, wondering where they had flown to. However, the sight before him did leave Lin Fan somewhat bewildered.

Within the skies, which were red and blue, there existed this long and endless river that was rumbling while emitting off a strange aura.

”Eh? Back when I was here previously, it wasn't like this! How did things change to this?” Fairy Hongyun's brows were creased, unable to comprehend the changes before her.

Lin Fan's face focused up slightly as he made preparations to face a battle. Since Fairy Hongyun had said that there was a change, something must have happened.

After all, secret grounds were no ordinary places. It was hard to say whether any situation was unfolding nearby.

”Hold up.” Just as Fairy Hongyun was ready to dart forth, Lin Fan held her back with a single hand. Fairy Hongyun's hands were smooth and tender, as though there were no bones in them. However, at this moment, Lin Fan could not be bothered with such things.

Something was amiss up ahead.

”It's the ancient race!” The moment she caught sight of what was happening, Fairy Hongyun's face changed as she tensed up. Up in the distance, a group of ancient race beings was gathered. Entering that blurry light screen, they disappeared from the face of the world.

On the ground up ahead were many corpses lying around. There were some from the ancient race, and some from other races.

”Seems like the ancient race has discovered this secret ground too.” Lin Fan remarked.

”How could it be?” Fairy Hongyun's face was stunned, apparently in disbelief.

After the ancient race beings entered the light screen, Lin Fan brought Fairy Hongyun with her to their intended destination from earlier on.

Evidently, a battle had broken out here. However, this battle shouldn't have lasted for a long time. It was clear that the ancient race beings must have followed Fairy Hongyun's sect members tightly right after they entered the place.

”Junior brothers, junior sisters…!” Looking at the corpses around her, Fairy Hongyun's face was really pale as her heart thumped heavily.

After all, her junior brothers and junior sisters were still fine and dandy earlier on. Looking at their cold, lifeless corpses lying around, this was a really severe blow to her mentally.

”Are your sect members all here?” Lin Fan asked.

”No, my senior sisters and senior brothers are not here! This time around, there were a total of thirty of us!” Fairy Hongyun replied.

Lin Fan made a quick count. There were only six corpses here. If that were the case, the rest of them must be within that secret ground.

Suddenly, Lin Fan's brows twitched. He could sense the aura of the ancient race from a distance.

”Let's go in first! There are more ancient race beings arriving!” Pulling onto Fairy Hongyun, the both of them leaped into the blurry light screen and disappeared from the world as well.

Pshew! Pshew!

Suddenly, a few figures appeared right were Lin Fan was just seconds earlier.

There were three of them.

”Seems like the signal was transmitted from over here. This is a new secret ground. All those beings from the other races must have already entered within. Let us chase after them.” One of the ancient race beings commented.

They had received the signal from their fellow ancient race beings to find out about this secret ground. Therefore, they headed right here without any hesitation at all.

Soon after them, a gigantic army of ancient race beings would head over to occupy and gain control over this secret ground, so that no other beings of the thousands of races would be able to enter.

With that, those three ancient race beings entered the Fire Water Secret Grounds as well.

Right after the three of them entered, the void vibrated gently as yet another group of figures appeared. These figures were not of the ancient race, but of the other races.

”To think that this would be the secret ground that the beings of the Cloud race had been searching for.”

”Let's go in and seek the treasures. Be it ancient race beings or those of the Cloud race, we'll kill anyone we meet.”
