After its ramming was halted, the whale glowered at An Lin and the others in annoyance.

It had initially planned on destroying the enemies who had injured it first before dealing with the bunch of spectating bludgers.

To its surprise, however, the bunch of spectating bludgers actually entered the conflict willingly and were now tossing scraps of trash at it! Under such provocation, how could it maintain its cool?

The whale let out an angry roar before turning around to charge at An Lin and his brigade.

Xiao Ze raised an arm toward the whale, and a wall that was formed from black dragon scales appeared before him and the others. A vast dragon might oozed from this black wall.

True Dragon Wall!

Boom!

There was another deafening rumble, and the shockwaves generated by the collision caused the void to tremor and crack. However, the wall, which was formed from black dragon scales, remained upright and unmoving.

The whale snarled in pain, and it retreated for the first time. Its body squirmed uncomfortably, and there was a look of suffering on its face.

"Its attack was blocked?" Celestial Maiden He yelped in surprise.

She knew from firsthand experience just how devastating the whale's ramming attack was. That was an attack that could threaten the defensive spell formation formed by three Return to Void Stage cultivators! However, such a terrifying attack was easily blocked by that ordinary-looking youth! How powerful was that youth?

"He's probably a supreme being of the primordial Dragon Tribe…" The black mist surrounding the Night Patrol God swarmed in palpitation and veneration as he spoke.

Xiao Ze had always possessed an invincible defense, and he didn't shirk from the whale's brutal attacks. He faced them head-on as he led An Lin and the others toward Celestial Maiden He.

The whale-shaped Body of Chaotic Essence was unwilling to give in, and it charged toward Xiao Ze again. Xiao Ze responded by activating the True Dragon Wall again…

Boom!

The collision this time was even more intense, and the entire land started quaking violently.

Then, the whale retreated once again with a look of pain on its face. Its golden eyes flashed with a hint of fear.

An Lin and the others arrived before Celestial Maiden He and her group safely.

Celestial Maiden He and her group were amazed by Xiao Ze's impressive power, yet they were still apprehensive toward the three Blood Tribe cultivators.

"Little… Friend An Lin, these Blood Tribe cultivators are?" Celestial Maiden He was initially about to call him Little An Lin, yet she suddenly felt that referring to him in such a way would be inappropriate. Thus, she called him "little friend" instead and placed him on the same footing as herself.

"Oh, no need to worry about them, they're my slaves," An Lin explained with a grin. "They've already signed the slave contract with me. They won't hurt you guys."

"Gasp…"

Celestial Maiden He, the Night Patrol God, Chang He, and even the severely wounded Chang Zang all drew in a sharp breath. They looked toward An Lin in shock and amazement.

Celestial Maiden He's beautiful face twitched. She glanced at the Blood Tribe cultivators before glancing at An Lin. She found that they were all acting naturally. M-hm, it seems like he's telling the truth…

"Then this senior over here is…" The Night Patrol God tried his best to control his emotions as he looked toward Xiao Ze.

An Lin glanced at his disciple and introduced, "Oh, he's called Xiao Ze. He's my disciple."

"I'm Master's chief disciple! Right now, I'm still his only disciple as well." A smug and prideful smile crept onto Xiao Ze's face.

Celestial Maiden He and her group all drew in another breath of cold air. The air was so chilly that they almost caught colds!

This supreme being of the primordial Dragon Tribe is An Lin's disciple? And he looks proud of this fact? So, becoming An Lin's disciple is something this honorable?

Celestial Maiden He's eyes widened, and her delicate pink lips were slightly agape. However, she was unable to utter a single word.

The Night Patrol God was also stunned speechless. Just then, he had even referred to Xiao Ze as "Senior". And what f*cking now? Xiao Ze turned out to be An Lin's disciple! Did he have to refer to An Lin as "Great Senior" now?

"Haha! Senior An Lin, this is such a coincidence." Chang He chuckled and said, "My disciple Qing Zhi also knows of a cultivator called An Lin!"

An Lin scratched his head and smiled good-naturedly as he said, "I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person called An Lin in the Heavenly Court. Oh, stop calling me senior as well, it seems a bit strange."

Chang He: "…"

So, this isn't a case of having the same name? He really is that An Lin?

Heavens! Only last year, An Lin was still participating in the Dao Exchange Conference with the younger generation of prodigies. In the blink of an eye, he's already started to take in Return to Void Stage Blood Tribe cultivators as slaves? He's already started to accept Return to Void Stage Dragon Tribe cultivators as disciples? This world is insane!

Chang He stared at An Lin in shock. He couldn't find any words to describe the male before him.

Freakishly talented? No, An Lin is beyond freakishly talented!



Boom! Boom! Boom!

The whale charged toward An Lin and the others several more times. However, it was blocked by Xiao Ze's True Dragon Wall each time. His "absolute defense" wasn't called such for nothing; it truly was invincible!

"Sen— Fellow Cultivator An Lin, have you devised a plan to escape this place yet?" Celestial Maiden He knew that now was not the time to gasp in shock and surprise. She immediately reeled in her emotions and asked An Lin a critical question.

Right now, An Lin's standing was already towering far above anyone else present. After all, he was an individual who could take in a Return to Void Stage primordial Dragon Tribe cultivator as a disciple. He was definitely capable beyond imagination!

It was because of such consideration that Celestial Maiden He chose to direct her question toward An Lin. Speculations had already started to form in her mind. Was An Lin the reincarnation of some divine being? Or perhaps he was a divine being in disguise and had descended into this world to train himself!

An Lin shook his head upon hearing this. "Apart from waiting till the next time that the Heavenly Void Beast swallows foreign matter, I don't have any other ideas."

Celestial Maiden He and the others were a bit disappointed upon hearing this. However, when they saw An Lin by their side, their minds became more at ease.

That's right, their feelings of despair were washed away by An Lin's arrival! In their minds, An Lin was a profound individual!

"Little Xiao, if the Body of Chaotic Essence keeps attacking like that, how much longer can you hold on for?" An Lin questioned.

"If I'm alone, then I can defend against if forever…" Xiao Ze grinned. He then added, "If I have to protect everyone else, and if the Body of Chaotic Essence doesn't stop attacking, then I can probably hold on for around six hours."

Six hours… This was already a very long time!

As long as the Heavenly Void Beast used its Heavenly Void Vortex again within six hours, they would be able to escape this place successfully.

At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly echoed aloud, "Why are we sitting around and awaiting our doom? We should stand upright and fight! We should be unbending and unyielding! We should send that whale into the netherworld!"

An Lin, Cassidy, and the others all looked toward the white figure in shock.

The creature that spoke… was the super coward, Xue Zhantian!

"Little Tian, is your brain alright?"

An Lin descended into a panicked state. This wasn't like him! Was he scared silly?!

Could it be that Sixth Brother was going to meet a tragic end like Fourth Brother? Was he going to go insane?!

"No, it's most likely that the natural laws of heaven and earth have been blocked out from the whale's body," Xiao Ze suggested suddenly. "As such, our emotions have returned to relative normality!"

An Lin and the others breathed a sigh of relief as they looked toward Xue Zhantian.

Xue Zhantian was flushed red with embarrassment, and it appeared as if he had recalled some cringe-worthy memories. "Don't look at me like that!" he fumed. "I only lost to the heavens by half a move! I was only manipulated by the heavens once! This is my true heroic nature! Such unforgivable crime… I'll definitely exact revenge!"

They all burst into laughter upon seeing Xue Zhantian's reaction. The tense atmosphere was eased significantly.

Celestial Maiden He's eyes were gleaming brightly as she gazed at Xue Zhantian. It was the dream of every female to have an adorable beast pet like that. It was a shame that she couldn't go to the Ancient Divine Division though. Otherwise, she would've definitely strived to obtain such a pet!

"That um… An Lin, can I hug that snow soul beast?" Celestial Maiden He's face was flushed a slight shade of red as she asked this in embarrassment.

She felt that in the unfortunate case that they weren't able to leave this place, it would be a small consolation if she was able to fulfill a teeny little dream that she had.

"Of course you can," An Lin said with a grin. He tossed Xue Zhantian toward Celestial Maiden He.

Celestial Maiden He was elated as she hugged Xue Zhantian, and she couldn't help but rub her pretty face against his soft white fur. "So soft and warm…"

"Oi! Woman, your bust is too large! It's squishing into me!" Xue Zhantian protested loudly.

When she heard this, Celestial Maiden He didn't become angry. Instead, she became even more overjoyed and started hugging him even tighter…

An Lin looked at the loudly protesting Xue Zhantian enviously. This is what they call "taking things for granted", isn't it… If Master is able to, Master also wants to suffer such fate as you…Referring to losing by half a piece in go, i.e. barely losing.
