As many disciples pressed forward, a good number had already encountered the Night Wolf King and perished on the spot, without even a chance to react.
Indeed, before the mighty ancient divine beasts, all else was ephemeral; no one could control their fate.
Meanwhile, the disciples of Yu Qingshan all halted, hesitant to advance, their hearts filled with dread.
The Night Wolf King's strength far surpassed their imagination; a single misstep could lead to their demise.
"Senior Sister Yan, what do we do now? The Night Wolf King is so powerful. With our abilities, it's unlikely we can defeat it!"
The disciples spoke, their brows furrowed. They had teamed up with Yan Ruyu for greater safety.
However, the Night Wolf King's power was beyond their tolerance; even Yan Ruyu felt a profound fear.
"Perhaps we should just wait here!"
Yan Ruyu offered a wry smile. "With the strength of just us few, dealing with the Night Wolf King is not easy. We might even lose our lives!"
The men nodded in agreement, their expressions grave. At this juncture, this was the only course of action. Perhaps only then could they truly defeat the Night Wolf King.
Yet, this meant their earlier efforts were in vain.
After all, first come, first served. Whoever obtained the Divine Pill would become the leader of the Yu Qingshan disciples. That was why they had rushed with all their might, only to end up in this situation.
At the same time, Shen Canghai and others arrived. Seeing that Yan Ruyu and her group had stopped, he remarked, "Junior Sister Yan, you were the fastest. Why have you stopped now? The Divine Pill is ahead. Doesn't Junior Sister Yan want it?"
"Even if I want it, I need the ability to get it!"
Yan Ruyu offered a wry smile. "The Night Wolf King guards the path ahead. With just these few people, how can we cope? We might have a chance if all the Yu Qingshan disciples arrive and we work together to kill the Night Wolf King!"
"Although the Night Wolf King is formidable, if everyone charges together, it might not be impossible!" Shen Canghai waved his hand.
"Having finally become people of the Divine 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 indeed true!"
Shen Canghai nodded but said no more. Yan Ruyu's words were clearly pointed.
Before long, many disciples from Yu Qingshan arrived, but they did not engage. Instead, they waited for reinforcements.
As long as the Night Wolf King remained alive, they could not advance. With their current strength, dealing with the Night Wolf King was clearly impossible. Only when all disciples had gathered would there be a glimmer of hope.
"So many people have gathered. Don't any of you want the Divine Pill?"
Li Tian's voice rang out as he strode forward, a smile on his lips.
"The path ahead is guarded by the Night Wolf King. We can only obtain the Divine Pill by killing it together!" Yan Ruyu stated. "Now that everyone is here, we can proceed directly!"
As they conversed, Shen Canghai's gaze fell upon Lu Fan, his eyes holding a faint coldness and a murderous intent.
Seeing this, Li Tian frowned, sensing something.
"Before dealing with the Night Wolf King, I must settle some personal matters. Otherwise, I won't be at ease!" Su Dan Novel Network
Shen Canghai sneered, his gaze suddenly locking onto Lu Fan. "Shouldn't our dispute be settled now?"
"Senior Brother Shen jokes. What grievance 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 should have no problem acknowledging this debt, right?"
With these words, everyone was startled, having never expected Shen Canghai to speak so directly.
"Since you insist on holding a grudge against me, what does it matter!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "Even if you wish to make a move on me, you'd best consider if you have the qualification!"
Many in the audience trembled, naturally surprised by Lu Fan's words, which made them tremble.
After all, Shen Canghai's influence was immense, ranking among the top disciples of Yu Qingshan.
Lu Fan's bold statement left them perplexed.
"Good, very good! You haven't disappointed me!"
Shen Canghai burst into laughter, tinged with anger. Never before had anyone dared to speak to him like this among the disciples, which made him very displeased.
Lu Fan, however, remained composed, as if everything in his eyes was calm.
"Shen Canghai, why cling to old matters?"
Li Tian interjected. "Although Zhang Sihai was your man, your relationship with him wasn't particularly close. Why do you insist on being 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 rather unreasonable!"
"I understand what you're saying!"
Li Tian shrugged. "I'm not blaming you. I'm just reminding you. If you don't heed my advice, then consider me as having said nothing!"
"Hmph!"
Shen Canghai snorted coldly. As fellow disciples of the Heavenly God, he was not afraid of Li Tian.
Moreover, he harbored a firm intention to kill Lu Fan, otherwise, he wouldn't be so direct.
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 can't do anything to me!"
His eyes held a calm expression, and Lu Fan spoke without reservation, as if everything was within his control.
Faced with these words, Li Tian was instantly resigned. He had intended to help Lu Fan resolve this trouble, but now it seemed Lu Fan was not afraid at all.
"You can say that, which means 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 within his control.
Shen Canghai said no more, directly stepping towards Lu Fan. A powerful aura permeated his body, carrying a terrifying murderous intent.
Witnessing this scene, Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes, observing silently.
In truth, she did not approve of Lu Fan becoming a disciple of the Wind God.
After all, he had only ascended from the lower realm. What right did he have to stand on equal footing with them? Now that Shen Canghai was going to act personally, it would be a good show to watch.
"Senior Brother Shen is so strong, it shouldn't be difficult for him to deal with him!"
"That's what I'm saying! Senior Brother Shen is a cultivator at the eighth level of the Divine Realm, a truly formidable existence among the many disciples of Yu Qingshan!"
