The Demon Beast Mountain Range.
From afar, several figures flickered ahead. As they approached, they realized it was Yun Lang’s mortal enemy, Wang Long, and his companions.
“Young Master Wang! Look…”
“It’s him again,” Wang Long spat out viciously.
He had almost died at Yun Lang’s hands when they were in the Outer Sect of the Tai Chu Sect.
Unfortunately, Yun Lang had now become Lin Ru Xue’s personal disciple, making his status far superior to Wang Long’s as an Inner Sect disciple.
“Li Jun, he’s definitely here for the upcoming Sect Competition, but we must stop him,” Wang Long declared.
Back at the Tai Chu Sect, they were unable to find an opportunity to act due to Yun Lang’s status.
However, now that they were in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, there were no such constraints if something were to happen.
“Alright!” Li Jun nodded.
Li Jun was also an Inner Sect disciple, but his strength far surpassed Wang Long’s.
It was just that Wang Long had a father in the Golden Core stage, leaving him no choice but to curry favor with the powerful.
“Haha, Yun Lang.” Li Jun greeted him with a smile.
But Yun Lang was no fool. How could he possibly be on good terms with anyone connected to the Wang family?
“So it’s you guys.”
Yun Lang sneered.
He didn’t take them seriously at all. After all, he had almost torn Wang Long’s mouth apart back then.
“Yun Lang, that was all in the past. We are both Inner Sect disciples now, so why dwell on it?”
“Exactly, it’s better to make peace than to make enemies,” Li Jun advised with a fake smile.
However, Yun Lang wouldn’t believe a word they said. Frankly, they were just looking for an excuse to deal with him.
After training at the Xuri City arena, Yun Lang’s strength had soared. He was no longer afraid of them.
“Fine, since you say so, then let’s bury the hatchet.” Yun Lang said indifferently.
He then turned and walked towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
“Wait!” At this moment, Li Jun suddenly called out to Yun Lang.
He mentioned that the Demon Beast Mountain Range was home to numerous beasts, many of them extremely powerful.
If they encountered ferocious beasts, how could they possibly be a match for them?
“Is there anything else?” Yun Lang asked, his tone unfriendly.
They were all lackeys of the Wang family, so Yun Lang held no goodwill towards them, even though he claimed to let bygones be bygones.
However, the contempt he felt in his heart could never be erased.
“Haha, there are only three of us here now. If we join forces, wouldn’t it be even better?”
“This…” Yun Lang hesitated.
So they still intended to deal with him. Otherwise, what would the Wang family have to worry about?
“Are you afraid?” Wang Long challenged.
He had been completely dominated by Yun Lang before. Now, they had no such concerns.
“Haha, if you two don’t mind, then I accept.” After much consideration, Yun Lang decided to see what tricks they had up their sleeves.
Upon hearing this, the two men exchanged knowing smiles.
Yun Lang then strode directly towards the mountain.
They were all aware of Yun Lang’s formidable strength. If trouble arose, it could be dangerous for anyone.
Yet, despite this, they could offer no explanation.
When trouble did arise, it wouldn’t just be them who were in danger.
“How confident are you about the upcoming Inner Sect competition?” Li Jun asked tentatively.
After all, many Inner Sect elites were aiming to win this competition.
Only by winning the competition could they enter the secret realm for training.
Upon their return, who knew how many treasures they would acquire.
“That question should be directed to my opponents.”
“How arrogant!” Wang Long spat.
They hadn’t even exchanged a few words before he started acting so conceited.
It was as if no one in the entire Inner Sect could match him. One had to realize that the disciples of the Tai Chu Sect’s Inner Sect were not as incompetent as those in the Outer Sect.
“If you were to participate, how confident would you be?” Yun Lang asked Wang Long, looking bewildered. He couldn't keep answering their questions without them expressing their own intentions.
“I…”
As expected.
They indeed lacked much confidence for this competition.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come to the Demon Beast Mountain Range for training.
“Victory and defeat are common in warfare. Don’t be too hasty,” Li Jun quickly waved his hand.
He was worried that a conflict might arise between them, which would be problematic.
“Right, right.” Wang Long nodded hastily.
In front of Yun Lang, not only had his strength improved, but his eloquence had also become remarkable.
As they spoke, the group had already entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
“Such dense killing intent,” Yun Lang frowned.
Previously, they had only trained in the trial tower, where the demonic beasts had been subdued by pioneers.
Strictly speaking, they had lost their original ferocity.
However, the current situation was entirely different.
The circumstances they faced now could directly threaten their lives.
“It seems we should be careful,” Li Jun warned Wang Long.
Wang Long’s strength was inferior, so he naturally needed protection by his side.
As for Yun Lang, if he were to die here, that would be exactly what Li Jun wished for.
“Don’t worry, I can handle it,” Wang Long declared.
Coming to the Demon Beast Mountain Range was about hunting beasts to hone one's strength.
If he always needed others to protect him, then he, the young master of the Wang family, would truly become a hothouse flower.
Then, not to mention participating in the competition, even self-preservation would become a problem.
“Let’s go,” Li Jun nodded.
With Wang Long’s assurance, Li Jun felt relieved, knowing that there shouldn’t be any major issues.
If trouble still arose, it would truly be a threat to them.
Roar!
A furious roar echoed.
Wang Long immediately stopped in his tracks, his gaze filled with shock as he looked ahead.
“A demonic beast.”
“Hmph! Such a fuss.” Yun Lang sneered.
There was indeed a demonic beast, but it had nothing to do with them at the moment. It was likely just a passing creature.
“You…”
Before Wang Long could finish speaking, Yun Lang suddenly transformed into a gust of wind and vanished before the two men.
Whoosh!
“Damn it! Let’s chase after him.”
“Wait!” Li Jun stopped him.
Wang Long looked at Li Jun, utterly bewildered. At such a critical moment, why was Li Jun still hesitant to act?
“This is a critical juncture. We are new here, so let him go ahead.”
“You…” Wang Long suddenly understood.
Li Jun actually wanted Yun Lang to act as their vanguard. If the demonic beast was powerful, it would be a perfect opportunity to kill Yun Lang using a borrowed knife.
“As expected, you’re brilliant. Why didn’t I think of that?”
“Haha, Young Master Wang is too modest,” Li Jun said awkwardly.
It wasn't that Wang Long hadn't thought of it, but he was too focused on improving himself.
However, to deal with Yun Lang, one didn't necessarily need to act personally. They just needed to follow behind.
“Let’s go.”
