Two breaths later, the crowd immediately saw glowing beasts with an appearance similar to that of an ox and a height of three zhang charging towards them.

There were at least a thousand of them, resulting in a spectacular sight.

Seven among them were even six zhang tall, stronger than the others.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

What kind of beasts were they?

Why didn’t they possess any cultivation?

“Qin Nan, these are the Guidance Beasts. Ride one of them and it will lead you to the treasures of the Resplendent Land!” Jiang Bilan’s eyes glistened as she blurted out.

“What? The treasures?”

The geniuses were shocked.

None of them had the map of the Resplendent Land, thus it would take a long time if they were to search for the treasures themselves. As such, the Guidance Beasts were extremely helpful in their situation.

“Qin Nan, do you see those seven that are the tallest among them—they are their kings, ride them!”

Jiang Bilan said, and with a kick flew in the air and landed on the back of one of the kings of the Guidance Beasts like a fairy descending to the world.

The king of the Guidance Beasts instantly let out a roar and quickened its pace, disappearing into the distance.

“I’ll deal with you guys later!”

Qin Nan blurted out as he reached out his hand, grabbing Ao Dongfang and the others with him.

He had no idea how long he would have to wait for the next wave of Guidance Beasts if he were to miss the chance now. It was more important to search for the treasures first, as he had plenty of time to deal with the geniuses later.

“Don’t you dare run away!”

The young man with the demonic aura and his crew reacted and fired their Monarch Arts.

However, Qin Nan and his group were already riding a king of the Guidance Beasts, which swiftly disappeared into the distance.

“What are you waiting for? Chase them!”

The young man with the demonic aura wore a dark expression. He let out a roar and proceeded to find himself a Guidance Beast.

The other geniuses followed too.

If someone were to glance down from above, they would see seven Guidance Beast kings leading the way, with the rest of the herd following behind. The distance between the two groups gradually increased.

“Isn’t that the Dragon Spirit Herb?”

“Damn, that armor plate, it looks like the Flying Dance Armor that belonged to the Flying Dance Martial Monarch!”

Ao Dongfang and his crew exclaimed as they observed the treasures nearby along the way.

The Resplendent Land was truly a place filled with treasures.

Qin Nan quickly scanned the treasures and lost interest. A few hundred breaths later, his eyes finally glistened.

An ancient eight-floored temple stood among the woods in the distance. Its exterior was carved with patterns of gods and demons, which looked alive and full of authority under the illumination of the stars.

Ao Dongfang and the others were startled too.

They somehow felt intimidated just by looking at the temple from afar.

“It seems like Jiang Bilan know something about it…”

Qin Nan glanced at Jiang Bilan, whose pale face was currently in deep thought under her black robe, unaware of Qin Nan’s gaze.

ROAR!

A terrifying roar could be heard coming from the ancient temple.

Qin Nan, Ao Dongfang, and the rest immediately gathered their focus. They only saw a few figures encapsulated within pure white glows dashing out from the temple panickedly.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan was stunned.

He was extremely familiar with three of the five figures.

They were Jiao Zhe who was from the Qinglong Sacred Area, the Sword Highness whom he met once in the Eastern Continent, and his subordinate Di Fengyun who had once been his enemy.

Why were they here?

While being confused, Qin Nan quickly discovered their cultivations to be relatively weak, only at the eighth-layer Martial Sacred Realm. On top of that, the remaining one man and one woman were even weaker, with only fourth-layer Martial Sacred Realm cultivations.

However, the white glows encapsulating their figures contained a mysterious force that even Qin Nan was unable to inspect.

Before Qin Nan could react, a red figure sprang out from the palace with a strong murderous aura.

The figure was five-zhang tall with a muscular build. Veins like dragons covered its entire body. It also had five eyes on its face, carrying a giant pitchfork on its back and possessed a half-Martial Monarch Realm cultivation.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

The red figure let out a roar as it threw a few punches at Di Fengyun, Jiao Zhe, the Sword Highness, and the others. Despite being protected by the white glows, their figures were still knocked backward, leaving them in a desperate situation.

Ao Dongfang and the others were stunned. They never thought they would stumble into a half-Martial Monarch Realm expert before entering the temple. Besides, why would these Martial Sacreds come to the Resplendent Land?

“Why are they here?” Jiang Bilan’s eyes flickered with astonishment too, as she knew who Jiao Zhe and Di Fengyun were.

“HAHAHA, Qin Nan, why are you stopping? Prepare to die!”

A great laugh could be heard coming from behind. Following this, the young man with the demonic aura and the others arrived. They were also stupefied when they saw the ancient temple and the red figure with the tremendous murderous aura.

“A half-Martial Monarch Realm expert?”

The cultivators were left in awe.

However, a shocking sight took place.

The half-Martial Monarch Realm expert acted as if it were not aware of their presence. It continued to launch its attacks at the group of five.

“Senior Brother Qin Nan, we should head inside before it discovers our presence!” Ao Dongfang and his crew were overjoyed, as they initially thought they were in big trouble, thus they immediately transmitted their voice to Qin Nan.

Jiang Bilan remained silent as she was aware of the situation.

She understood that if they tried to save Di Fengyun and the others, not only would they have to face the attacks of the half-Martial Monarch Realm expert, they would also need to deal with the cultivators behind them, thus placing them in a grave danger.

However, Di Fengyun, Jiao Zhe, and the Sword Highness were not strangers to Qin Nan, thus he would have to make the decision.

“Trying to leave?”

The young man with the demonic aura was infuriated.

“Jiang Bilan, bring Ao Dongfang and the others into the temple. I’ll go and save them!”

Qin Nan stomped off the ground and dashed forward without hesitation.

He was aware that the glows protecting Di Fengyun and his crew would not last any longer. If he did not interfere right now, they would surely die.

As for the danger?

Did he care?

They were his friends. Although their cultivations were only at the Martial Sacred Realm, he would still try to save them!

“Destruction Martial Tree, suppress!”

A Rare Phenomenon Martial Tree sprang into the sky, unleashing the Destruction Domain which descended upon the half-Martial Monarch Realm expert!
