522: C522 Key

C522 Key

The stone forest was huge. Yang Fan walked for an hour before reaching the center.

The true essence in his body and the power of his divine soul were almost completely suppressed. Now, he could only display strength equal to a Qi Refining Stage Layer One.

Compared to his original strength, he had changed from a strong martial artist to an ordinary person.

However, Yang Fan did not care about this. After all, he was already mentally prepared.

At this moment, his line of sight was looking at a cylindrical stone pillar. There were no other rocks within a few hundred meters of this stone pillar.

On top of the stone pillar, there was a key that seemed to be carved out of rotten wood. It was floating in the air an inch away from the top of the stone pillar.

After arriving at this place, the silver earring suddenly calmed down. Just like before, it was so calm that Yang Fan almost forgot about it.

Suddenly, Yang Fan heard footsteps and immediately turned his head to look.

The figure of a Black-robed Man and a handsome man entered his sight.

When the two of them arrived and saw Yang Fan, the handsome man swept his gaze across Yang Fan and immediately looked at the key on the stone pillar.

His gaze was fixed on the key, not leaving it for a long time.

As for Black-robed Man, after looking at the key for a moment, he suppressed his excitement and then looked at Yang Fan.

"Kid, we meet again." Black-robed Man looked at Yang Fan with coldness and killing intent in his eyes.

Yang Fan's heart skipped a beat. Could these two people be the people from that hidden force?

At the same time, what made Yang Fan even more shocked was that when Black-robed Man revealed his killing intent, his body also revealed a trace of true essence fluctuation, which was equivalent to a Nirvana Stage Tribulation Three.

In the stone forest, Black-robed Man's strength must have been suppressed as well.

However, Yang Fan could roughly tell that the suppression of strength in the stone forest was based on a certain proportion. For example, he was a Nirvana Stage Tribulation Two, but he could only use the strength of a Qi Refining Stage Layer One.

What was the true extent of Black-robed Man's strength?

When he thought of this, Yang Fan was shocked, but at the same time, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everyone's strength was suppressed here.

Otherwise, if the enemy wanted to kill him, his resistance would be futile.

And now...

Yang Fan calmed down. At the same time, he was puzzled by Black-robed Man's words. "Why do you say we meet again? Have we met before?"

Before Black-robed Man could answer, the handsome man asked first, "Have you seen him?"

"Of course I have. That senior sister of mine was able to escape. This kid is one of the main culprits." Speaking of this matter, Black-robed Man gritted his teeth.

His original plan was now completely useless.

With his senior sister fighting for the key, he no longer had absolute confidence that he could obtain it.

Thinking of this, Black-robed Man looked at the key floating at the top of the stone pillar and took a deep breath. Now, the time was not up, and the key could not be taken down.

However, before that, he could first take care of this brat to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"He's from the Great Profound Holy Land?" At this moment, the handsome man looked at Yang Fan and confirmed with his eyes.

Black-robed Man coldly harrumphed and nodded his head.

He had said that the person who caused his senior sister to escape from him was someone from Great Profound Holy Land.

After a pause, Black-robed Man asked with a cold smile, "Gongye Yang, you were once a member of the Great Profound Holy Land. Do you want to do it yourself?"

Upon hearing Black-robed Man's name, Yang Fan's pupils shrunk. He looked at the handsome man and his expression turned serious. He never thought that this man was the Gongye Yang who had betrayed Great Profound Holy Land.

When he stole the Half-divine Artifact, he was hunted down by the elders of the Shock Profound Holy Sect.

Initially, he thought he was dead, but in the end, he didn't die.

Regarding Black-robed Man's words, Gongye Yang only replied with three words.

"Not interested."

What he wanted was to go further on the path of martial arts. Everything he did was for the sake of martial arts cultivation. If killing did not bring him any benefits in this area, he would not be interested in it at all.

Black-robed Man did not force him. He looked at Yang Fan with a trace of doubt in his eyes and said, "Kid, I will let you die clearly."

"Do you still remember the Kong Sheng you killed?"

Yang Fan immediately remembered what happened when he and Tang Shuiyue went to search for the secret realm of the Supreme Yang Demonic Blood.

This Black-robed Man was definitely not Kong Sheng. Then, could it be that black shadow?

Even though Tang Shuiyue's father had left a divine soul imprint on her body, the explosive attack had dispersed the black shadow. However, Yang Fan knew that the black shadow was not the original body.

Looking at the killing intent in Black-robed Man's eyes, Yang Fan was certain that the former was the original body of the black shadow.

"Looks like you have remembered it. That's good. You can die now." After saying that, Black-robed Man raised his palm. True Yuan gathered in his palm.

Even if he could only use the strength of a Nirvana Stage Tribulation Four, it was still a piece of cake for him to kill a young man whose strength was suppressed by a Qi Refining Stage Layer One.

Ta! Ta!

Another sound of footsteps could be heard. The true essence condensed in Black-robed Man's palm stopped, and he looked in the direction of the sound of footsteps.

An old man with a wrinkled face and a veiled woman walked to this place.

Black-robed Man only took a glance at the old man, but when he saw the veiled woman, he frowned.

"Senior Sister!"

Gongye Yang immediately turned his gaze over. Yang Fan also looked over. Even the wrinkled old man looked at the woman beside him.

However, the difference was that Gongye Yang knew what it meant when Black-robed Man called him senior disciple sister.

Yang Fan was curious. Black-robed Man said that it was because of him that Black-robed Man's senior sister was released.

In that case, this girl was the blurry figure in the blue light beam in the secret realm?!

At that time, he thought that it was an illusion and was not sure if he really saw it.

The old man was purely surprised. This new Elder Yue who had just joined the Ice and Frost Sect actually had a junior brother. In other words, Elder Yue was from another major power?

Then why did he want to join the Ice and Frost Sect?

Furthermore, in this place, his strength had been suppressed to around the Qi Refinng Stage Layer Five. However, the true essence fluctuation emitted from Black-robed Man's body still had the strength of a Nirvana Stage Tribulation Four.

If he entered the stone forest, his strength would be suppressed. What level of true strength had his opponent reached?

Then, the old man looked at Elder Yue, who was standing beside him. The latter was called senior sister. Was his true strength the same as what he usually displayed in front of him? Was he only at the Nirvana Stage Tribulation Nine?2

The old man was very puzzled by this, but he didn't ask.

At this moment, it wasn't the time to ask.

"Huyan Ce, do you still admit that I'm your senior sister?" The girl laughed lightly. Her clear eyes stared at Black-robed Man, and a trace of coldness appeared in them.

Black-robed Man, who was also Huyan Ce, spoke in a low voice, "Senior sister, I have always regarded you as my senior sister. Don't tell me you want to fight me now?"

"How much of your strength have you recovered?"

After saying this last sentence, Huyan Ce spread out all of his Nirvana Stage Tribulation Four True Yuan and suppressed the girl.
