Chapter 1298: Verification Passed, Strengthening the Boss (6k)_3

“That Yellow Immortal Child, you mustn’t touch it!”

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yan quietly awaited nightfall.

Meanwhile, Granny Fox, along with the Golden Eagle Old Man, was almost at Old Linzi.

Descending from Fuyu City, the Great Zombie was also being transported by a van and was nearing its destination.

Inside the underground structure, Inverted Triangle Eyes hadn’t yet reached the departure time; he was told that during the day there were too many people around, making it inappropriate, and no opportunity was found.

As it approached nightfall, he grew impatient.

He got in touch with the Yellow Immortal Child, who assured him that approval had been obtained and not to worry, as it would certainly strive with all its might.

Moreover, the moment it sensed it, it would immediately notify Inverted Triangle Eyes.

As the sky dimmed, Wen Yan left from the northern area of the apartment complex with Er Jingong.

After removing the amulet, Er Jingong briefly recalled, and then immediate activation ensued.

Wen Yan held Er Jingong, quietly watching as the surrounding environment started to change.

As always, the first puzzle was still the one containing Huafu Dajiang.

And this time, after just over a minute upon entering, Huafu Dajiang appeared.

Wen Yan routinely offered him a box of little tomatoes blessed with Yang Energy, leaving Huafu Dajiang with a bewildered expression, and swiftly proceeded to the next scene with Er Jingong.

It went smoothly this time, arriving directly at the Little Temple Statue puzzle.

Gazing afar, the previously collapsed little temple indeed returned to normal.

Wen Yan stepped inside, forcing the other party to skip dialogue and directly initiate the final stage.

He continued stepping on the statue’s head, and upon hearing the opponent start the blessing, Wen Yan suddenly extended a hand and forcefully slapped the statue’s head.

The statue’s head intensified its blessing rhythmically, like shrieking in fury, wanting to complete the blessing at the fastest speed.

Yet, against its expectations, the blazing Yang Energy erupting from Wen Yan’s palm, carrying immense power, did not harm it, but instead, it felt a significant augmentation of power.

It sensed its blessing was consuming the augmented power during spellcasting, causing the blessing to strengthen by at least sixty percent more.

It witnessed Wen Yan’s somewhat “shocked” expression, and began laughing wildly, completing the last blessing with power far beyond what it considered its limit.

Brilliant Yang Energy was shining, and on Wen Yan’s head appeared a virtual image of a mountain that seemed ablaze with flames, a massive gateway with fire emblem spreading descended from the sky.

On the gate, two upright Huang Pi Zi stood, raising their hands high, each adorned with a layer of fiery golden armor, appearing formidable.

And Wen Yan was the one suppressed under the mountain, oppressed by the enormous gate, holding his lifeline.

…

At the same time, Yellow Immortal Child felt the power beginning to deplete and immediately informed Inverted Triangle Eyes.

Inverted Triangle Eyes had everything prepared long ago, when tidying up his belongings today, he discreetly acquired some spellcasting materials, capable of entering his ancient dream, which was the dream containing the Little Temple Statue.

The street there, was the one he remembered, and the little temple at the end of the street was his most successful experiment.

Stealthily appearing here, Inverted Triangle Eyes emerged at the corner of the wall, and upon arriving, saw Wen Yan with a shocked expression, a mountain and gate’s virtual image beginning to emerge on his head.

Just by glancing at the door’s mural, he knew this was surely the design of Yellow Immortal Child.

He heard the Yellow Immortal Child in the ancient dream, screaming and laughing madly, completing the blessing, he saw Yellow Immortal Child’s head turn to ashes under Wen Yan’s foot.

Inverted Triangle Eyes’ mind raced, his face started to look a bit grim.

He didn’t want to leave, didn’t want to back down, felt he was right, that the ancient dream would ultimately arrive, and he was preparing for it, already with considerable success.

The path they would tread required Wen Yan’s elimination, he deemed Wen Yan the most formidable threat, believing a resolution should be prioritized at all costs.

All Scorching Suns must die, it’s been a long-standing consensus.

Even if this Scorching Sun has no cultivation talent.

He reached for his waist, pulling out a gun after some hesitation, glanced at the virtual image suppressing Wen Yan’s head, and at the commanding Huang Pi Zi mural atop the gate, he restrained himself.

His leader was correct, to cripple Wen Yan, ensuring even in martial training he’ll never advance, indeed offered the highest cost-benefit ratio and was the most appropriate.

He wanted to personally confirm if it was exactly as he thought.

Having confirmed it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He stowed the gun, knowing in his heart that firearms were best utilized at close range, and given this distance, aiming accurately was challenging.

Especially when the opposing party is a competent martial artist, instinctive reaction could occur the moment pointed at by the gun barrel, making hitting difficult, and fatality probability even lower.

After putting away the gun, he opened the wound on his arm, holding a box of incense in his hand, dripping a few drops of fresh blood into it, and then began to retreat.

As he stepped back, Wen Yan suddenly turned to look his way, the blazing Yang Energy erupted, illuminating everything here.

This time, Wen Yan saw Inverted Triangle Eyes’ face directly.

Inverted Triangle Eyes, with a gloomy face, stared coldly at him, while retreating slowly, gradually becoming indistinct.

In his hand, the box emitted wisps of smoke, dissipating into the air.
