Chapter 190: Overthinking Again, a Huge Loss

"Junior brothers, the situation is as it stands. Lin Fan has inherited the老祖's Eternal Axe and now wishes to leave the sect for training. Although training is an inevitable experience for everyone, the world is not peaceful at present. If something happens, our Holy Sect cannot bear it." Sect Leader Yan said, looking at his many junior brothers.

Wuya and the others exchanged glances, lowering their heads in thought. They understood their senior brother's meaning—this training trip could not be stopped.

So now, they would have to bleed heavily.

"Fellow junior brothers, let's pool our resources. This Molten Essence Protective Shield can block all attacks below the Great Heavenly Realm, making it invincible even in the Eastern Spirit Continent." Supreme Elder Wuya raised his finger, and a red light flashed as a bell-like treasure appeared before him.

"Senior brother is generous. Since that boy has inherited the老祖's legacy, we cannot be stingy. I will let this Heaven-Swallowing Mad Serpent become his companion beast." The Supreme Elder of the Beast Taming Peak rolled up his sleeve, revealing a small red snake quietly lying in his palm.

This small red snake was already close to being an ancient ferocious beast, extremely powerful. The Supreme Elder of the Beast Taming Peak was sincere in offering it as Lin Fan's companion beast.

…

Sect Leader Yan watched his junior brothers generously拿出 numerous treasures, feeling gratified. Lin Fan had inherited the老祖's legacy, and the Holy Sect must ensure his safety. Outside, dangers were everywhere, but with these treasures, he could act with impunity, even ignoring experts of the Great Heavenly Realm.

Especially the Heaven-Swallowing Mad Serpent from Supreme Elder of the Beast Taming Peak. Its bloodline was infinitely close to that of an ancient ferocious beast, and its own strength was at the high level of the Great Heavenly Realm. Carrying it would protect his safety.

…

Meanwhile, Lin Fan had crushed a ferocious beast on the way and turned it into his mount, galloping at full speed. As for where to go, Lin Fan already had a plan.

He knew the locations on the Seven Sacred Treasures Map.

The first destination was the first location on the map: the Flame Hell.

"Run faster!" Lin Fan held a long whip and struck the beast's rump.

The beast howled, tears in its eyes, feeling utterly miserable.

It had originally seen a human and wanted to feast, but never expected this to happen. This human was terrifying in its eyes.

Galloping forward, the wind howled fiercely.

A bright smile spread across Lin Fan's lips.

He was rushing madly because he feared the Sect Leader would discover him and drag him back.

The talk of leaving tomorrow was completely deceptive. Lin Fan knew this delaying tactic well.

The Sect Leader would surely discuss with the other Supreme Elders and ultimately decide to forcibly keep him.

With his cultivation, he couldn't resist, so it was better to run away early and let them fail to find him.

Once he improved his strength outside, he would return in glory.

Days and nights passed.

Lin Fan checked the map, confirmed the direction, and pressed on. This ferocious beast he had pressed into service was indeed extraordinary, covering a thousand miles a day without issue.

Holy Sect.

Sect Leader Yan brought the treasures his junior brothers had sacrificed to the Nameless Peak.

Since the boy wanted to leave the sect for training, his safety must be ensured. Though they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do.

But when Sect Leader Yan learned from Zhang Er Gou that Lin Fan had left the sect the day before, he stood frozen on the Nameless Peak.

How could this be played now?

Passing through the Holy Sect's territory, a yellow world appeared before him.

Yellow sand swept across the sky. Lin Fan gazed into the distance, then took out the map.

Beyond the Holy Sect's territory lay the Death Desert.

"Move!" Lin Fan patted the beast beneath him.

But the beast howled a few times, then knelt on all fours, looking at Lin Fan with tearful eyes, as if begging to be released. It seemed terrified of the desert ahead.

Lin Fan looked at the beast and finally sighed. "Get lost."

Originally, Lin Fan had planned to kill the beast for experience, but since it had carried him all the way here, he spared its life for its efforts.

Howl, howl...

The beast glanced at Lin Fan gratefully, then turned and fled, as if afraid Lin Fan would chop it down.

Lin Fan looked at the endless desert before him, sighed helplessly, and steeled himself to step into the yellow sand.

Gradually, the sandstorm grew stronger, and Lin Fan's figure faded into the landscape.

"What a damn place. I should have prepared earlier," Lin Fan grumbled as he walked through the desert. The danger of the Death Desert was no less than that of some forbidden lands.

It was home to a group of strange ferocious beasts, perhaps not even true beasts.

According to sect records, the Death Desert was the only way out of the Holy Sect. Disciples below the Innate Realm could barely survive here.

When sect disciples trained, they traveled in groups to cross this place.

Now the sandstorm grew fiercer, blowing from the side. Lin Fan took out the Eternal Axe and held it against his face to block the sand.

Ahead of Lin Fan, the sand suddenly trembled slightly, as if something was moving beneath.

A rustling sound mixed with the wind, making it hard to tell if it was just the wind or a warning of danger.

At that moment, the sand surface suddenly collapsed, and a giant centipede burst out from the sand. Its towering body stood like a giant, countless legs twitching in the air, and its fierce mouth emitted a rustling sound.

Startled by the commotion, Lin Fan immediately threw the Eternal Axe at it.

"Ding, congratulations on killing a high-level Innate Realm ferocious beast."

"Ding, experience increased by 100,000."

…

Hearing the prompt, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief and cursed in annoyance.

"Scared me to death!" Lin Fan walked over and pulled the Eternal Axe from the beast's body.

He glanced at the centipede-shaped beast and sneered, "Courting death."

Though the beast was weak, it reminded Lin Fan that the Death Desert was indeed dangerous.

These beasts usually lived underground, striking suddenly and catching people off guard.

If not for his superior skills, he might have fallen for it.

Lin Fan continued forward, unsure how long it would take to cross this endless desert.

…

In the desert,

a long black shadow grew larger. When it came into focus, it turned out to be a caravan.

The caravan moved slowly through the desert.

Curses rang out from within the caravan.
