Chapter 1260 1171: The Three Great Demon Venerables’ Apprehension

Having mastered the first level of the Rejuvenation Technique and fully realizing its power, Wang Yan was eager to immediately learn the second and third levels.

At that moment, Wang Yan instructed Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable, saying, "Go capture Luo Yuan."

Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable, who now acknowledged Wang Yan as his master, could only obey, thus promptly lowered his head in acquiescence and walked towards Luo Yuan.

Seeing this, Luo Yuan hurriedly shouted, "I too am willing to offer a soul and surrender, milord."

However, Wang Yan paid no attention to Luo Yuan's words, but sat on the ground and took out the second bamboo slip.

At the same time, a fierce rumbling sounded from afar, causing the entire ground to tremble and several hundred palaces to collapse. The entire second entrance palace became chaotic in an instant.

Wang Yan looked ahead, his heart slightly shocked, and said, "The Three Great Demon Venerable have actually opened the third entrance palace gate. It seems I need to pause on the second level of this technique. I'm going to enter the third entrance to see what treasure in there could entice even a Demon Venerable."

Thinking this, Wang Yan swiftly waved his hand, storing the hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry and the second level of the Rejuvenation Technique into the Starlight Ring.

Then, Wang Yan soared into the air, heading towards the third entrance palace.

Seeing Wang Yan fly away, Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable was uncertain whether to capture Luo Yuan or follow Wang Yan, but as the shaking of the second entrance palace grew more severe, the ground between Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable and Luo Yuan cracked, pushing them further away from each other.

Meanwhile, Wang Yan flew farther and farther away.

Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable had no choice but to leave Luo Yuan behind and chase after Wang Yan.

Having narrowly escaped death, Luo Yuan's cultivation plummeted, forcing him to stand up and desperately flee the second entrance palace, escaping towards the Qinrong Palace exterior.

Wang Yan flew over the ruins of the second entrance palace, which had entirely collapsed, with hundreds of demon cultivators scattered within, fleeing for their lives through the wreckage.

Wang Yan flew past the second entrance palace and arrived before the third entrance palace gate.

He saw that the third entrance palace gate was guarded by a vast moat of lava, with only a narrow bridge leading to it, extending to a nine-yard high, heavily fortified wall armed with magical treasures.

At present, the entire wall was battered and damaged, covered with remnants of Soldier Terracotta Warriors, and the ground was littered with arrows and spears.

Judging from the scene, the Three Great Demon Venerable must have fought fiercely to breach the third palace gate.

Now, after Wang Yan arrived, the third entrance palace was completely defenseless, allowing Wang Yan to easily pass through the palace gate and enter the third level of the palace.

At this moment, Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable caught up with Wang Yan, shouting, "Milord, wait for me."

Wang Yan, with one foot inside the door and the other outside, hearing Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable's call, turned around and said, "Let me collect you first."

With these words, an absorption force enveloped Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable.

Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable did not resist, allowing the force to pull him into a certain space.

In this dark and lightless space, Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable realized it must be a Storage Space and could only sit cross-legged in the darkness.

To think that someone like him, a proud Half-Venerable, had ended up in such a state was truly pitiful and lamentable.

Yet even so, Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable dared not harbor the slightest bit of resentment.

As it turned out, once Wang Yan's body was halfway through the third palace gate, he immediately sensed that the third entrance was more dangerous than the second, which is why he stored Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable into the Starlight Ring.

Without Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable as a burden, Wang Yan no longer had concerns as he stepped through the third palace gate.

Once inside the third palace gate, he beheld ethereal mist swirling, resembling a fairyland.

Amidst the endless white celestial mist, a delicately magnificent palace floated in mid-air.

In the mist, only the eaves and corners of this palace were faintly revealed.

This palace was but a few hundred meters from Wang Yan, easily reachable in a single leap.

However, surrounding the palace were three vast open bamboo scrolls, which together formed a bamboo bridge connecting the palace gate to the palace itself.

It appeared that to enter the palace, one must walk onto the bamboo bridge.

Though there were no Soldier Terracotta Warriors guarding the bamboo bridge, and it seemed harmless, Wang Yan discerned at a glance that this bamboo bridge was a profound array, far more complex than it seemed.

Meanwhile, sporadic powerful energy waves emitted from the palace, indicating that something highly valuable was inside.

"So this is the final great hall of Qinrong Palace, containing a treasure that can even tempt a Demon Venerable."

Stepping through the palace gate, Wang Yan clearly saw everything in front of him, particularly three individuals.

These three individuals also sensed Wang Yan's presence, turning to look at him.

Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but grow wary.

Because these three individuals were indeed the Three Great Demon Venerable — Venerable Ghost Valley, Venerable Fuqing, and Venerable Zidan.

At this moment, all three were disheveled, each carrying injuries.

Though not severely wounded, it was evident the trio's infiltration into the third palace gate had involved a fiercely brutal battle.

Upon seeing Wang Yan and especially noting his relaxed appearance, anger surged from the hearts of the Three Great Demon Venerable, hatred bubbling forth from their courage.

They had put forth immense effort, and despite being Demon Venerable, sustained injuries to break into the third palace gate.

Yet Wang Yan, trailing behind them, had effortlessly gained entry, which naturally enraged them.

Recalling Wang Yan's earlier entry into the second palace gate, their mingled new grudges and deep hatred flared.

Venerable Zidan said, "This kid managed to tail us and snag a great advantage, which is infuriating. Before entering the palace, let's kill this kid."

Venerable Ghost Valley agreed, "Indeed, even now, I can't fathom this child's cultivation; it's truly peculiar. He must not be spared."

While Venerable Fuqing remained silent, his gaze towards Wang Yan was filled with suspicion and dread, leading him to nod in agreement.

Seeing this, Wang Yan lamented internally.

Though he possessed exceptional cultivation, facing a single Demon Venerable would provide a chance for escape.

But faced with the Three Great Demon Venerable together, he stood no chance of winning nor of fleeing.

And thus, the Three Great Demon Venerable turned and advanced, encircling Wang Yan.
