As many disciples pressed forward, quite a few encountered the Dark Night Wolf King and perished instantly, without even a chance to react.
Indeed, before powerful ancient divine beasts, all else was vanity; no one could control their fate.
At the same time, the disciples of Yuqing Mountain halted their advance, afraid to move forward, their hearts filled with dread.
The Dark Night Wolf King's strength far surpassed their imagination; a single misstep could lead to their demise.
"Senior Sister Yan, what should we do now? The Dark Night Wolf King is so powerful. With our abilities, defeating it is likely impossible!"
Many disciples spoke, their brows furrowed. They had teamed up with Yan Ruyu precisely for greater safety.
However, the Dark Night Wolf King's might was beyond their capacity to withstand, and even Yan Ruyu felt a deep fear.
"Perhaps we should just wait here!"
Yan Ruyu forced a smile. "With the strength of just us few, dealing with the Dark Night Wolf King is no easy feat. We might even lose our lives!"
The men nodded in agreement, their expressions becoming more solemn. At this point, there was nothing else they could do. Perhaps only then could they truly defeat the Dark Night Wolf King.
However, this meant the path they had already traveled would be in vain.
After all, first come, first served. Whoever obtained the Heavenly God Pill would become the leader of the Yuqing Mountain disciples. That was why they had rushed here, only to find themselves in this predicament.
Meanwhile, Shen Canghai and others arrived. Seeing that Yan Ruyu and her group had stopped, he said, "Junior Sister Yan, I thought you were the fastest. Why have you stopped now? The Heavenly God Pill is just ahead. Doesn't Junior Sister Yan want it?"
"Even if I want it, I need the ability to get it!"
Yan Ruyu smiled wryly. "The Dark Night Wolf King guards the path ahead. With just us few, how can we possibly deal with it? If we wait for all the Yuqing Mountain disciples to arrive and join forces to kill the Dark Night Wolf King, perhaps we'll have a chance!"
"Although the Dark Night Wolf King is formidable, if we all charge together, it might not be impossible!" Shen Canghai waved his hand.
"Having finally become a person of the God Realm, no one wishes to die an untimely death!" Yan Ruyu said with a wry smile. "I presume Senior Brother Shen feels the same!"
"That is true!"
Shen Canghai nodded but said no more. Yan Ruyu's words were clearly pointed.
Not long after, many disciples of Yuqing Mountain arrived. However, they did not act, but waited for reinforcements.
As long as the Dark Night Wolf King remained alive, they could not advance. With their current strength, it was clearly impossible to deal with it. They could only wait until all disciples were present for even a slim chance of survival.
"With so many gathered, don't any of you want the Heavenly God Pill?"
Li Tian's voice rang out as he stepped forward, a smile on his lips.
"The Dark Night Wolf King guards the path ahead. We can only obtain the Heavenly God Pill by killing it together!" Yan Ruyu stated. "Now that everyone has arrived, we can act directly!"
As they conversed, Shen Canghai's gaze fell upon Lu Fan, his eyes carrying a faint cold light and a murderous intent.
Seeing this, Li Tian frowned, as if he had discerned something.
"Before dealing with the Dark Night Wolf King, I must settle some personal grievances. Otherwise, I will not be at ease!"
Shen Canghai let out a cold laugh, his gaze sharply fixed on Lu Fan. "Shouldn't our grievances be resolved now!"
"Senior Brother Shen is joking. What grievances do I have with you?"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "Why don't I even know?"
"You killed Zhang Sihai. He was my man!"
Shen Canghai said coldly. "You can't deny this is a grievance, can you?"
With these words, everyone was startled. They had not expected Shen Canghai to speak like this.
"Since you insist on making an enemy of me, so be it!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "Even if you want to make a move on me, you'd better weigh whether you have the qualification!"
Many present trembled violently, not expecting Lu Fan to speak in such a manner, which made them shiver.
After all, Shen Canghai's deterrence was extremely strong, ranking among the top disciples of Yuqing Mountain.
Lu Fan's words caused some confusion.
"Good, good, good! You truly haven't disappointed me!"
Shen Canghai burst into laughter, tinged with anger. Never had anyone dared to speak to him like this among the disciples, which greatly displeased him.
Lu Fan, however, remained composed, as if everything was calm in his eyes.
"Shen Canghai, why dwell on old matters!"
Li Tian spoke up. "Although Zhang Sihai was your man, your relationship with him wasn't that close. Why must you be so stubborn and target Junior Brother Lu!"
"Senior Brother Li, are you blaming me?" Shen Canghai smiled. "This is my personal matter. Senior Brother Li treating me like this is quite unreasonable!"
"I understand what you're saying!"
Li Tian shrugged. "I'm not blaming you. I'm just reminding you. If you don't listen, then consider me as having said nothing!"
"Hmph!"
Shen Canghai snorted coldly. As fellow disciples of the Heavenly God, he did not fear Li Tian.
Moreover, he had a determined intention to kill Lu Fan, otherwise, he wouldn't be so aggressive.
Li Tian felt a sense of helplessness and cast another meaningful glance at Lu Fan.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Li. I will handle my own affairs. He cannot do anything to me!"
With a calm gaze, Lu Fan spoke directly and without reservation, as if everything was within his control.
Faced with these words, Li Tian felt helpless. He had intended to help Lu Fan resolve this trouble, but now it seemed Lu Fan was not afraid at all.
"The fact that you can say this shows you have confidence!"
Shen Canghai sneered. "Since that's the case, let's settle this!"
"As you wish!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, his gaze even more placid, as if everything was under control.
Shen Canghai said no more, directly stepping towards Lu Fan. A powerful aura permeated his body, accompanied by a terrifying killing intent.
Witnessing this scene, Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes and watched silently.
In fact, she did not approve of Lu Fan becoming a disciple of the As Wind Heavenly God.
He had only ascended from the lower realm, so what right did he have to be on equal footing with them? Now that Shen Canghai was going to act personally, it was a good show to watch.
"Senior Brother Shen is so powerful, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with him!"
"That's right! Senior Brother Shen is a cultivator at the eighth level of the Divine Realm, an extremely formidable existence among the disciples of Yuqing Mountain!"
