Entering the Red Ox Mountain Catacombs

The next day arrived.

Ye Nan came out of his room.

By the time he reached the training grounds outside, everyone from the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall was ready.

The dozen or so people were the same Martial Artists from yesterday.

When they saw Ye Nan arrive, their expressions shifted uncertainly.

Ye Nan joined them.

He was looking forward to entering the Red Ox Mountain Catacombs.

"Once Grandmaster Xu Heng gets here, we can set off, right?"

"Yeah, our Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall could have wiped out the Red Ox Mountain Catacombs long ago. We're finally doing it today."

"Grandmaster Xu Heng will be here soon. Everyone, get ready."

After Ye Nan joined the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall's Martial Artists, they began to talk among themselves.

A moment later.

A broad, burly man who looked to be in his forties walked toward them.

Without a doubt, the man was Xu Heng.

As everyone from the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall watched him approach, anticipation appeared on their faces.

Through the system, Ye Nan also discovered that the man was an Intermediate Grandmaster.

An Intermediate Grandmaster was already terrifying to many Martial Artists.

Ye Nan thought that, with his current strength, he had nothing to fear from an Intermediate Grandmaster.

When Xu Heng came up to the group, they all greeted him respectfully.

To ordinary Martial Artists, a Grandmaster was far beyond their reach in both strength and cultivation realm.

"You're Ye Nan, aren't you?"

After nodding to the Martial Artists, Xu Heng turned his gaze to Ye Nan.

"Yes."

Ye Nan nodded to Xu Heng.

"As expected of a top genius from our Southeast Province. You truly have the bearing of a dragon and a phoenix."

Xu Heng looked at Ye Nan with satisfaction and approval.

As Ye Nan listened to Xu Heng's assessment of him, his expression barely changed.

"Let's set off."

Xu Heng abruptly spoke to everyone from the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall.

"Yes!"

Everyone from the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall nodded in response.

They then headed out of the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall.

Red Ox Mountain lay in the wilderness outside the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall, some distance from Southeast City.

They traveled by car and soon drove out of Southeast City.

Naturally, the car couldn't take them all the way to Red Ox Mountain, only to the nearest accessible point.

After the group got out of the car, they had to cover the remaining distance on foot.

At Xu Heng's signal, they started toward Red Ox Mountain.

Along the way, everyone from the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall remained highly vigilant.

This was the wilderness, after all.

In the wilderness, any kind of danger could arise.

Fortunately, they reached the foot of Red Ox Mountain without incident.

The group surveyed the mountain before them. It was shaped like a giant ox.

"Up the mountain!"

Suddenly, Xu Heng gave the order.

Once the order was given, the group headed up Red Ox Mountain.

Soon.

Led by the people from the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall, Ye Nan arrived at the entrance to the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall.

The dark, oppressive entrance to the catacombs had an indescribably eerie air about it.

"We're about to clear out the vicious beasts inside the Black Cloud Catacombs. Everyone must be careful once we enter."

Xu Heng cautioned the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall's Martial Artists before him.

After speaking, he looked at Ye Nan and said:

"Ye Nan, make sure you keep up with us. The catacombs are no joke."

Everything was ready.

Once Xu Heng had said everything he needed to say, the group headed for the entrance to the Red Ox Mountain Catacombs.

After passing through the entrance, they continued deeper inside.

Ye Nan knew that the Red Ox Mountain Catacombs were just an ordinary set of catacombs.

Since they were so ordinary, they posed no threat to him.

He had followed the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall into the Red Ox Mountain Catacombs for more than just watching them clear out the vicious beasts inside.

He intended to slaughter vicious beasts himself.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Ye Nan and the people from the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall finally arrived inside the Red Ox Mountain Catacombs.

Within the catacombs.

Bleak, oppressive, stifling, and bloody.

Ye Nan took in the sights of the Red Ox Mountain Catacombs.

He thought that the Red Ox Mountain Catacombs looked far more oppressive than the West Town Catacombs.

Roar!

Before long.

The roars of vicious beasts reached their ears.

Ye Nan looked intently in the direction of the roars.

He discovered that vicious beasts had appeared around them.

Most of these vicious beasts had cyan pupils.

Cyan pupils marked a vicious beast as first-tier.

The strongest vicious beast among them had yellow pupils.

Yellow pupils marked a vicious beast as second-tier.

They were still on the outskirts of the catacombs, so it was normal for the vicious beasts to be at this level of strength.

"Everyone, get ready to eliminate these vicious beasts."

Xu Heng spoke to the people from the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall.

He was an Intermediate Grandmaster.

These vicious beasts were as weak as ants before him.

"Grandmaster Xu Heng, leave these vicious beasts to me."

Just then, Ye Nan spoke up.

He thought that he was going to kill the vicious beasts in the Red Ox Mountain Catacombs anyway.

In that case, it was better to show his strength sooner rather than later.

Although the combat power gained from killing one vicious beast was pitiful.

If there were a great many vicious beasts, the combat power points gained would be considerable.

Xu Heng and the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall's Martial Artists had never expected Ye Nan to say that.

Their eyes widened as they looked at Ye Nan in disbelief.

To them, Ye Nan saying such a thing was utterly unbelievable, a tale straight out of the Arabian Nights.

Leave these vicious beasts to him?

Had they heard him right?

After Xu Heng and the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall's Martial Artists came to their senses, they turned their gazes to Ye Nan.

They saw that Ye Nan's face was calm and composed.

His unhurried expression showed them that, when Ye Nan had said those words,

it was as though he were talking about something utterly insignificant.

"Ye Nan, are you joking with me?"

Xu Heng frowned and stared at Ye Nan as he asked.

The Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall's Martial Artists also fixed their gazes on Ye Nan's face.

They wanted to know whether Ye Nan was serious or joking.

"Grandmaster Xu Heng, do I look like I'm joking?"

After Ye Nan smiled.

A vast, powerful aura burst from his body, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

As his words fell, he walked toward the vicious beasts nearby.

Xu Heng and the Black Cloud Martial Arts Hall's Martial Artists all felt the powerful aura pouring from Ye Nan.

They were somewhat dumbfounded.

A young man had actually unleashed such a powerful aura?

Before they could fully react, Ye Nan had already reached several vicious beasts.

These vicious beasts were all first-tier.

When they saw Ye Nan approach, they all roared at him.

Then they pounced at Ye Nan.

Bang!

Seeing this, Ye Nan threw a punch.

With his current strength, he needed only one punch to kill the first-tier vicious beasts pouncing at him.

Xu Heng and the Martial Artists saw Ye Nan kill several first-tier vicious beasts with a single punch.

Before they even had time to be shocked, they saw a low-level second-tier vicious beast leap at Ye Nan.
