Endless Ascension

Chapter 61:, Suppression

In the hinterland of the Kunlun Mountains, on the other side.

A group of people moved forward cautiously, concealing their breaths, avoiding some fourth-level demonic beasts. Only when it was unavoidable would they kill the demonic beasts. After killing, they immediately rushed forward at top speed.

"According to the markings on the map, we should be almost there."

A man took out a worn-out map from his bosom, looked at it, and then compared it with the surrounding terrain. After careful consideration, he slowly said.

"Changtian, you must take a good look. The Kunlun Mountains are truly vast. A slight error in direction makes a big difference."

Changtian looked around carefully again and firmly said, "Brother Lin, it's definitely correct."

"Okay, let's rest here for now, regain our energy, and strive to kill that thousand-year-old corpse king in one go." Lin Yan immediately said, then sat leaning against a rock, took out a vitality-restoring pill and swallowed it, and closed his eyes to rest.

This small team consisted of five people. Besides Changtian and the team leader Lin Yan, there were three others, namely Fang Kui, Xue Dingshan, and a woman, Yi Qianhan. She had an expressionless face and emitted a cold aura all over her body. She hadn't said a word along the way.

However, her appearance was extremely beautiful, with fair skin, like a thousand-year-old ice block, making it impossible for others to approach.

Changfeng put away the map well, also swallowed a vitality-restoring pill, then glanced at Lin Yan and said, "I heard that Yang Han also accepted this mission and even brought the young palace master of Tianyang Palace along. This time for us..."

Lin Yan opened his eyes and said, "Anyone can accept the mission of the Thousand Machinery Sect. There's no need to think too much. Whoever completes it first will get the merit points."

"That's true. I'm afraid Yang Han and them will play dirty tricks. He's notorious for being sinister. Have you forgotten how he framed you to gain Nan Gonglie's appreciation and be selected as an inner disciple exceptionally? We have to be cautious of this insidious villain." Changfeng's eyes were deep, vigilant around.

During that inner disciple competition, if it weren't for Yang Han's framing, Lin Yan would have long been an inner disciple. As Lin Yan's brother, Changfeng felt injustice for Lin Yan.

Lin Yan later learned that he was framed, but it was too late. He lost the qualification of an inner disciple, which led to continuous suppression by Yang Han later.

Moreover, not long after Yang Han became an inner disciple, he joined the Sky Pillar Sect. The Sky Pillar Sect had a very powerful influence in the Thousand Machinery Sect, forcing them to almost have no way out. They had no choice but to venture deep into the Kunlun Mountains, wanting to kill this thousand-year-old corpse king, wanting to earn enough merit points to exchange for the qualification of an inner disciple.

The thousand-year-old corpse king was transformed from a drop of essence blood of an ancient demon king. It had cultivated for a thousand years and its strength was extremely strong. Among them, only Lin Yan was at the first stage of Refining Gang, and the other few were all at the Gathering Spirit Realm. Venturing deep into the Kunlun Mountains was a near-death situation. To kill the thousand-year-old corpse king again, Changfeng had no confidence in his heart.

However, they had no way out. Slightly easier missions simply wouldn't fall to them. Only by challenging missions with higher risk factors. Unexpectedly, Yang Han came too.

This was pushing them to the brink of death.

Lin Yan's eyes were firm. He looked at the four people and was extremely grateful in his heart. Since Yang Han became an inner disciple, their days in the Thousand Machinery Sect had become increasingly difficult. Even so, the four of them didn't leave him.

Feeling indebted in his heart, in order to lead his brothers out of the predicament, he could only challenge high-difficulty missions.

Towards Yang Han, he naturally hated him to the core. But now his cultivation was inferior to his. To take revenge was extremely difficult. Not to mention that there was also the powerful Sky Pillar Sect behind Yang Han.

After a short rest, Lin Yan got up and said, "Let's go!"

They entered the forest, and the four people around quickly followed...

——————

Qin Ze was neither hurried nor slow, maintaining a distance of about one kilometer from Yang Han, faintly following behind. He wanted to see exactly what they were here for.

The five-person team was not weak in strength. Coupled with Yang Han at the Refining Gang Realm, Qin Ze couldn't quite figure out that with their strength, it might still be a bit lacking to hunt fifth-level demonic beasts. Judging from their expressions, it didn't seem like they were hunting demonic beasts. Looking at their itinerary, it seemed they were headed towards a certain destination.

Qin Ze was very familiar with this area. There was nothing special.

Except for that ruin.

"Ruin?"

Qin Ze was stunned and began to think deeply. He had been to that ruin no less than ten times. Besides the gusts of cold wind, he didn't feel anything unusual. Could there be something buried beneath the ruin?

Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat and suddenly became enlightened, "It must be that ruin."

The ruin seemed like an array. From time to time, cold air would emerge from the ground. The array seemed to show signs of loosening Qishu Network], as if something was about to break through the ground at any moment. It seemed that there was definitely something hidden beneath.

At present, Qin Ze increased his speed, concealed his breath, and quickly caught up.

Qin Ze guessed correctly. Yang Han and Nan Gongyan's group were indeed headed towards the direction of the ruin.

But when they arrived, Lin Yan's five-person group was one step ahead of them and was looking for the entrance.

Yang Han sneered and walked forward. His tone was filled with disdain as he said, "Brother Lin, why are you here too? With your strength at the first stage of Refining Gang, do you think you can kill this thousand-year-old corpse king? I suggest you go back early to avoid dying here."

He emphasized the word "die" particularly heavily, carrying a strong killing intent.

Regarding Lin Yan, Yang Han knew him well. The first thing he did after becoming an inner disciple was to suppress Lin Yan by all means. He must not let them develop. For this purpose, he joined the most powerful faction in the Thousand Machinery Sect, the Sky Pillar Sect, with the aim of suppressing Lin Yan.

Over the years, Lin Yan and the others had been pushed to the brink of desperation by his suppression.

The purpose of this mission was still to prevent Lin Yan from obtaining the merit points.

Lin Yan's expression changed. Before he could speak, A San, the attendant beside Nan Gongyan, stepped forward and pointed at Lin Yan and the others, angrily shouting, "You few, seeing the young palace master, why don't you quickly pay respects?"

Nan Gongyan smiled at A San with satisfaction, greatly content. Fortunately, she didn't kill him earlier. Otherwise, who would serve her diligently?

Lin Yan and the others bowed their heads in respect, except for Yi Qianhan.

"Don't you recognize the young palace master of Tianyang Palace?" A San pointed at Yi Qianhan and shouted angrily.

"Forget it." Yang Han sneered and gave Yi Qianhan a light glance. Then, looking at Yang Han, he said, "Why? Still not leaving?"

"Yang, don't push people too far." Changfeng shouted loudly, staring directly at Yang Han. They had risked their lives to enter the Kunlun Mountains on this mission. But he had followed them. He was really pushing them to a dead end.

"You're not qualified to talk to me..."

After saying that, he shook his fan. The killing intent was revealed. The strong wind blew in all directions. The internal energy on his body suddenly burst out. At a lightning-fast speed, he charged towards Changfeng...

At this moment, Lin Yan frowned. The broadsword behind him suddenly flew out. In the air, a huge golden sword suddenly materialized. With both hands controlling it, the golden broadsword slashed down forcefully.

"Boom boom boom..."

Lin Yan retreated rapidly, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Looking at Yang Han who remained motionless in his original position, he was extremely shocked in his heart, "Could it be that he's broken through again?"

"Hehe..." Yang Han coldly smiled and said, "Didn't expect it, did you? Haha... I'm now at the fifth stage of Refining Gang. With your strength at the first stage of Refining Gang, are you worthy of being my opponent?"

"Be sensible and leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
