Cultivation Pet Shop

Yu Shu led them through the forest which was strangely quiet for once.

Unlike usual, there wasn't the sound of different animals around them. It was almost like they were the only ones in the entire forest.

But they also knew that this was a way for the Beast Clan to unnerve them, showing them that they were strong enough to completely push out all the beasts and living creatures that existed in this environment, just to create this silence.

To be honest, it did unnerve the young geniuses a bit since there were quite a few strong beasts that were inside this planar crack. While there weren't any King Beasts, there definitely were plenty of Platinum Realm beasts.

In truth most of the beasts that were inside planar cracks were rejects of the Beast Clan that were forced into these planar cracks. Since these planar cracks were considered neutral ground because they were on the edge of the human territory and the beast territory, creating a bridge for either side to invade the other side. It was just that normally it was the Beast Clan invading the humans…

But it wasn't just a few Platinum Realm beasts that were in this planar crack, there were over a hundred and they were all tightly knit together since they were all refugees that had arrived here together. If even one was touched, it meant offending all of them.

But now there wasn't even a single beast around, it was clear that there was a true expert of the Beast Clan that was in this planar crack…

Along the way, Lin Fan came up to Yu Shu who was surprised to see him approaching him. Lin Fan came up beside him and asked, "Did you do it voluntarily?"

This sudden question had actually caught Yu Shu off guard and he even stopped for a second to take a look at Lin Fan before continuing forward.

He continued walking forward in silence for a few steps before saying, "What do you think?"

Lin Fan kept up with him, walking beside him as he said, "It was just a single minute that you could have waited. If you had waited even that single minute, it would have made your allegiance clear, but you chose to come forward just that minute earlier. That minute means a lot, you and I both know that."

Yu Shu fell silent once again when he heard this, but then he said, "You're free to think whatever you want to think, but I can tell you one thing. They are much stronger than you think, that Lord Yin was not their top expert, he is just one of their team leaders. The Beast Clan has fully invested in their invasion this time."

Lin Fan took a deep look at him and decided not to say anything else about this topic. Rather he asked, "Tell me about yourself."

Yu Shu wasn't surprised, he just said, "There's not much to say about me, I'm just like those fools behind you, but I was an unlucky one. I went into a planar crack one day and I came out different the next, you can probably guess what happened."

Lin Fan nodded before saying, "No one else knows?"

Yu Shu just gave a sigh, "Who could know and not treat me differently?"

Lin Fan then said something surprising in a very casual tone, "I wouldn't."

Yu Shu once again stopped to look at Lin Fan again, but this time it took two seconds before he started walking again.

As he walked away, he said, "You don't seem that trustworthy."

Even though he said this, his tone was much lighter compared to before.

…

After around half an hour of walking, they finally arrived at this pyramid looking structure that was close to what seemed to be the center of the planar crack, or at least that's what it felt to them.

For Lin Fan who had Brainy that could scout almost the entire planar crack, he actually had a good mental map of the planar crack based on information Brainy gave him. He could tell from that that this pyramid was actually right in the center of the planar crack.

But it wasn't the pyramid itself that surprised him, rather it was the faint energy fluctuations that made him knit his brows.

If his senses weren't wrong, these should have been the fluctuations of spatial laws that he was sensing.

As someone who had the system, he had come in contact with pure spatial laws when he had died and been transported elsewhere. At first he didn't know what this was, but Momonga and Angela both told him about the special laws that were used to revive him in the system's cultivation realms. Now he had a sharp sense for spatial and time laws after experiencing it again and again with the system.

But to be sure, he also looked over to Angela who also gave him a slight nod of affirmation.

With this strange pyramid in the center of the planar crack that was giving off spatial law fluctuations, there was only one explanation for this. There was a Beast Clan Expert that could use spatial laws here and they were trying to use spatial laws to create a complete tunnel for their invasion. They wanted to create a tunnel using this planar crack that would let the Beast Clan lead their armies to the Blue Star Planet.

It seemed the situation was much more serious than he had thought and based on the energy fluctuations he felt, they should be coming close to finishing this tunnel. If he didn't act now, there might be another beast wave that would erupt on the Blue Star Planet!

Once these thoughts passed through his mind, Lin Fan was about to move forward to attack the pyramid, but there was a pool of dark energy that appeared on the ground. It was just like what had happened last night and soon the same figure appeared once again in front of them.

It was the same figure with the pierrot mask, it was Lord Yin!

Everyone pulled out their weapons when they saw Lord Yin appear, that is except for Lin Fan and Angela.

Both of them could tell that there was no hostility coming from Lord Yin, but that didn't mean that he didn't have anything planned. It just meant that there was no reason to fight him without hearing him out first.

Lord Yin looked at Lin Fan and gave a clap before spreading his hands, "Welcome, welcome honoured guests to this special game that we have prepared for you."

Lin Fan raised a brow when he heard this, but he didn't say anything because he knew Lord Yin wasn't finished.

Rather it was Yue Jin who asked, "What game are you talking about? We're not here to play games with you!"

Normally these young geniuses would be quite calm, but this was a situation that far surpassed their expectations. They never expected that they would be right in the middle of a Beast Clan invasion plot.

Even if they were geniuses with experience, they were also the younger generation that had been carefully raised. While they had experienced danger before, they had never experienced something as crazy as this, which was a large mental strain on them.

That was why even though Yue Jin was usually quite the calm and calculative person, he was this impatient now.

They knew that this was all too far over their heads and they might not have the chance to escape…

Lord Yin didn't even spare Yue Jin a glance as he continued looking at Lin Fan and he said, "We're so glad that you can join us, Lord Jin was delighted when he heard that we had such a special guest among us."

Lin Fan looked at him and said, "Who said that I'm here to join?"

Lord Yin's smile turned a bit helpless as he said, "Ah, then that is truly a shame."

Then his voice changed as it filled with a bit of despise, "Since you're not here to join us, you should know that there is only one other fate for you. I really hope that you won't regret this, after all, we've given you plenty of chances."

Lin Fan gave a snort when he heard this, "What if I choose the third option then?"

Lord Yin asked, "Third option? What third option?"

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile, "I can just kill you all and stop your portal."

Lord Yin also smiled at this, "You really know how to kid. But there's plenty of time to play later, we've even specially set up a game for you."

Lin Fan's smile turned cold, "What makes you think I'm here to play?"

Lord Yin still had the same calm smile on his face, "You might be strong, but you're not stronger than Lord Jin. You'll soon see that it is meaningless to struggle in front of Lord Jin." Then his smile turned cold, "I will enjoy watching that despair come over you, it will fill me with satisfaction to see you in pain."

Lin Fan raised his hand and the white dagger appeared in it again, "Then how about I let you see what pain is right now?"

But before he had a chance to throw that, there was a flash of white light that appeared in front of him.

Then before any of them could even react, they disappeared from their original spots.

The only ones that were left standing there were Lord Yin and Yu Shu.

Yu Shu turned to look at where they had been standing before giving a sigh. Then he walked over to Lord Yin's side.

The black circle appeared under Lord Yin once again and the dark energy surrounded them before they too disappeared.
