14: C14 Everyone Fought the Diamond Ape

C14 Everyone Fought the Diamond Ape

Gu Feng looked around. There were only seven disciples, one seemed to be missing, because there were just few of them, so he clearly recalled. The missing person seemed to be the female disciple under the Third Elder's guidance.

"Yun He, where's your companion? Didn't she meet up with you?" Gu Feng looked at Yun He and asked.

"She was injured. I told asked to leave at once." When Yun He said this, he looked at Lin Chuan with begrudgingly.

Although Ying'er's injury had nothing to do with Lin Chuan, the Cold Spring Ice Lotus was snatched away by Lin Chuan effortlessly. How could he not hold a grudge?

Seeing him look at Lin Chuan that way, Gu Feng subconsciously assumed that Lin Chuan was the one who had caused Ying's injury. He didn't say anything and directly brought everyone to the final destination.

"This Diamond Ape is an early stage level-3 demon beast. Its strength is comparable to a Soul Formation Realm master. You all must be careful when you engage it later."

They arrived outside a cave. Gu Feng stopped and reminded the surrounding seven disciples.

"A Level 3 demon beast. Not forgetting that are all currently at the Body Refinement category of cultivation, even if we didn't consume the Spirit Binding Pill, winning against this beast would have been might have as well been impossible!"

"That's right, that Diamond Ape should be able exterminate all of us with a single blow, how do we approach him?"

"The Diamond Ape possesses the berserk bloodline. Once it goes berserk, its strength will also increase aggressively!"

At this moment, all the disciples standing outside the cave spoke out in fear. They all knew how terrifying the Diamond Ape was, and when they received the news, they also felt that it was an unimaginable task.

Hearing their words, Lin Chuan laughed. These inner disciples were all geniuses of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and the sect wouldn't let them risk their lives. There had to be a catch behind this.

Sure enough, Gu Feng laughed heartily and said, "Of course I won't let you go against the Diamond Ape with your current strength. The reason why you were all suddenly given this task is because the internal sect elders received news that the Diamond Ape was injured. Its current strength is estimated to be at the Second level. If all of you join forces, you'll be able to stand a chance agaist it."

So that was the reason! The disciples were more relaxed when they head this and immediately after, they were all eager to show off their skills.

"In order to join you here, I had to wear a Dimensional Spirit Stone. So my strength wasn't repressed. In a case of eventuality, I will protect you, but I won't help unless it is absolutely necessary. Also, the Dimensional Spirit Stone on me will expire in six hours. When that time elapses, I must leave the secret realm. You must finish the task as soon as possible!"

Gu Feng reminded them one last time, before letting the disciples enter the cave. The injured Diamond Ape was inside.

Lin Chuan was the last to enter the cave, but Gu Feng stopped him before he could, "Lin Chuan, be mindful of Qin Xuan. Before coming in, Yue Feng specially asked me to take care of him. I feel that Qin Xuan might very well make a move against you in the secret realm. You must be on guard!"

"Don't worry. if it's just Qin Xuan, he doesn't have the ability to compete with me!" Lin Chuan said confidently. Then, he turned around and followed the others.

The cave was so deep that the bottom was not visible and it was equally very dark that one could not even see the path of the cave clearly.

"You guys wait. I have something to say." Just as everyone was about to enter the cave, Qin Xuan suddenly called out to all of them. They all looked back at him in confusion.

"Senior Brother Qin, if you have anything to say, go ahead and say it. We're all inner court disciples, and we're all buddies. We will all listen to you!"

Amongst the seven of them, there was a female disciple called An Yan, and she admired Qin Xuan the most but, her appearance was too casual so, Qin Xuan didn't find her appealing at all. Even so, she still obsequious towards Qin Xuan.

When Qin Xuan heard this, he proudly raised his head and glanced over at Lin Chuan who was standing at the other end. Then, he said, "Even though this Diamond Ape is injured, its strength is still formidable. We are currently at the Body Refinement Realm, so it will be very difficult for us to deal with it."

"That's why I hope that everyone will heed my commands later. That way, we can find more strength in our unity and will be able to face the Diamond Ape head on and complete the sect's mission!"

After Qin Xuan finished speaking, all the disciples looked at each other in dismay. They all understood the implication of everything he had said. It meant that they had take instructions from him. It was obviously his plot to get a better score at the end of the task and secure the spot to enter the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries to select a cultivation technique.

However, even if they understood Qin Xuan's plan , no one dared to refute him. After all, Qin Xuan's status within the inner sect was extraordinary, and he had the support of the Second Elder, so they could only accept.

"Alright! Then we'll listen to Senior Brother Qin's instruction so that, we'll take that Diamond Ape down!" Immediately, a disciple agreed. The rest of them also agreed.

However, only Lin Chuan remained silent. Instead, he looked at Qin Xuan contemptuously. "Don't look at me. I won't follow your orders."

"Haha, then, if you get killed by that Diamond Ape with a single punch, don't blame me for not warning you!" Qin Xuan laughed sinisterly. Lin Chuan's continuous contention with him had already aroused the killing intent in his heart.

"Whatever." Lin Chuan said indifferently.

When he heard his words, Yun He smiled coldly. This Lin Chuan is quite arrogant. He dares to act arrogantly with Qin Xuan. In the future, Qin Xuan could use vicious schemes against him, and he would be badly harmed if they fought against each other. However, he didn't think much about it and only looked forward to watching a good show now. If something were to happen to Lin Chuan, he would simply clap his hands in applauds.1

Qin Xuan had said what he needed to say. All the disciples walked proceeded anxiously. meanwhile, just as they were about to make a move, an angry roar suddenly came from the cave. It carried along with it waves of violent wind.

"Roar!" Another furious roar was heard. However, this time, the sound seemed to be closer.

Suddenly, the ground of the cave began to vibrate. Bits of rocks were falling from the walls of the cave. A huge monster appeared in front of them. It occupied most of the cave.

The Diamond Ape was covered in snow white fur, and it glowed lightly. It looked indestructible. Its eyes, which were the size of a copper plate, were filled with rage.

The Diamond Ape was indeed injured. There were terrifying lacerations on its shoulder. It looked as if it had been bitten by something. It should have been injured in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain when he got into a with other demon beasts.

The Diamond Ape's aura was a little weak, but it was still strong. It hated others invading its territory, especially humans.

"Humph, wild beast, what are you looking at? We'll teach you a lesson soon and take you with us back to the sect and lock you up!"

Qin Xuan could not help but let out a snort when he saw the Diamond Ape glaring at him. He taunted it. The Diamond Ape was already injured, yet it was still very audacious.

When it heard Qin Xuan's words, the Diamond Ape was extremely furious. It brandished its rock-like fist and smashed it towards Qin Xuan.
