Five-Colored Altar

The Great Tang Dynasty wouldn't go demand accountability from the Demon Clan, would they?

"Yes, yes, yes! I can attest to that!"

"That's right, we can all prove it. This young lady is innocent. That official clearly died by the fangs of the demons!"

Hearing this, the Demon Kings of the Demon Clan on the side couldn't help but murmur amongst themselves.

"Why is this mess being pinned on us?"

Su Yang smiled faintly and rapped his Storyteller's Clapper.

"Crack!" The entire place instantly fell silent.

He slowly unfurled his fan, his tone calm, and continued his tale.

"After Ye Fan and his companions retrieved those Buddhist artifacts radiating Buddha's light from the Great Thunderclap Temple, a wave of Buddhist chants echoed through heaven and earth, as if even the firmament itself trembled.

The four directions of heaven and earth also quaked."

"Suddenly, with a thunderous roar, the stone Buddha within the Great Thunderclap Temple exploded on its own.

It turned to dust, and immediately after, the entire temple dissolved into powder in a gentle breeze."

The Great Thunderclap Temple is gone?

Everyone's eyes widened. They watched with their own eyes as the legendary ancient temple turned to ash before them, too shocked to speak.

The sacred land where Buddhas once tread had actually vanished just like that?

"Just as everyone was in a state of shock and uncertainty, a fierce wind suddenly howled from afar."

"Fortunately, the Buddhist artifacts taken from the Great Thunderclap Temple still emanated Buddha's light, shielding them within, so they were not harmed by the storm."

"But at that very moment, the ground where the Great Thunderclap Temple had stood suddenly cracked open, forming a sizable rift."

"Then, a group of bizarre monsters crawled out of the hole.

They resembled snakes but were not, looked like crocodiles but lacked limbs, had bare bellies, and were covered in black scales. Their appearance was sinister.

Like evil spirits crawled from the underworld!"

Before the words even fell, the listeners felt as if they were there, filled with terror.

Mortals who heard this were all filled with dread, their bodies trembling as if the monsters would crawl out from underground at any moment to devour them.

The scene was too horrifying, unsettling their minds and sending a chill straight up their spines.

Even the Demon Kings of the Demon Clan showed a hint of surprise in their eyes. These monsters, which they had never seen before, made them feel a sense of unease.

"Suddenly, a soul-shattering roar echoed from the direction of the Great Thunderclap Temple."

"This roar reverberated through heaven and earth, as if even the storm had paused.

The entire world was filled only with this rolling, thunderous roar, all other sounds swallowed whole."

Everyone's expression changed, their hearts shaken. After the collapse of the Great Thunderclap Temple, what had escaped from within?

Why would these strange creatures, neither snake nor not-snake, crocodile nor not-crocodile, appear near the legendary Great Thunderclap Temple?

And what kind of existence had let out that roar?

"It was only then that Ye Fan realized that the underground of the Great Thunderclap Temple was actually a beast's lair!"

What?!

The legendary Great Thunderclap Temple was actually a habitat for ferocious beasts? How was that possible?

After all, the Great Thunderclap Temple was the dwelling place of Buddhas, the supreme sacred land of Buddhism. How could it become a hiding place for ferocious beasts?!

"Everyone fled in panic towards the Five-Colored Altar not far away. As they ran, they saw a dense black mist surging out from the opening beneath the Great Thunderclap Temple.

It was like demonic energy!"

Countless people present wore expressions of confusion. Amidst their shock, more questions arose.

Why was such a terrifying demon hidden beneath the legendary sacred land of Buddhism?

Wasn't that place guarded by gods and Buddhas?

Why did the gods and Buddhas only suppress it underground instead of eradicating it completely?

Could it be that even those gods and Buddhas were powerless to destroy these evil creatures?

"Just as everyone looked back, the Crocodile Ancestor was already charging from afar, his eyes blazing like torches, staring directly at Ye Fan and the others."

Upon hearing this, countless listeners couldn't help but tremble with fear, as if the Crocodile Ancestor's gaze was falling upon them!

This was the marvelous aspect of the Storyteller System; it allowed every listener to feel as if they were truly there!

"It's over, everything is over!"

One listener's face turned pale. Staring at the Crocodile Ancestor, he was almost scared to tears.

Many mortals, like him, trembled uncontrollably. The feeling of being stared at by the Crocodile Ancestor was too terrifying!

Even the cultivators of the Human Race, and even the Demon Kings of the Demon Clan, involuntarily shivered at this moment.

Because they sensed that the Crocodile Ancestor's power might actually surpass their own!

You should know that the Demon Clan's Demon Kings are Heavenly Immortal realm powerhouses. What kind of beings are stronger than Heavenly Immortals?!

"Just when Ye Fan and the others thought they were doomed, the Bronze Coffin suddenly let out a deafening roar!"

"The moment the deafening roar sounded, Crocodile Ancestor abruptly stopped in his tracks. Fear flickered in his eyes as he stared intently at the Bronze Coffin."

A strange noise from deep within the Bronze Coffin actually made the Ancestor of the Divine Crocodiles tremble, daring not to move rashly.

Ye Fan and the others seized this moment, quickly flashing into the Bronze Coffin.

At the same time, the Five-Colored Altar and the Tai Chi Diagram slowly merged. Starlight flickered, and the Starry Sky Gate quietly opened.

The Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin started again, carrying everyone away from Yinghuo, embarking on the Ancient Starry Road leading to the unknown.

The listeners finally breathed a sigh of relief. The thrilling scene they had just witnessed made them feel as if they had personally faced Crocodile Ancestor, the fear sinking deep into their bones.

Only when they saw everyone hiding in the coffin with Ye Fan and the others did they feel they had escaped danger and survived.

"But just when they thought they were safe, the real disaster was only just beginning."

As the words fell, everyone's emotions tensed up again. Could it be that the inside of the Bronze Coffin also harbored something sinister?

Or perhaps, the demonic creature that escaped from beneath Great Thunderclap Temple had already infiltrated the coffin?!

"Slap!"

Just as everyone held their breath and concentrated, Su Yang suddenly slammed down his clapper.

Startled by the sound, the crowd snapped back to their senses. Some listeners sitting in the front row had even excitedly grabbed Su Yang's arm.

"Mr. Su! Don't stop! Say a few more words!"

"That's right, Mr. Su, what exactly happened? What's inside the coffin? Tell us quickly!"

Su Yang looked helpless and could only say, "I just wanted to drink some water."

Everyone was stunned, their faces showing embarrassment. It was a misunderstanding; they thought he was going to interrupt the story again.

The people who had grabbed his arm quickly let go, apologized with awkward smiles, and obediently returned to their seats, continuing to wait for the next part.

Su Yang sighed softly. The rhythm he had been building was thus interrupted.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, even the Demon Kings and cultivators showed impatience. He inwardly gave a wry smile, realizing he had to tell more today.

The story began anew, Su Yang's speaking speed increased, and the narration became more intense.

Everyone seemed to re-enter that vast and magnificent Shrouding the Heavens World.

"Passing through the Starry Sky Gate, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin finally reached its destination: a mysterious land called 'Eastern Wasteland'."

The crowd grew more excited. The Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin had brought the protagonists into a new world. What would happen next?

After Ye Fan stepped into the Eastern Wasteland and entered Lingxu Cave Heaven, what kind of encounters would he face?
