Sloan looked at the secret tunnel and said calmly, "According to the historical record, about 500 years ago, the New World faced a fierce beast that plagued the society—it killed many innocent people! Later, the Incandescent Sect worked with other sects to capture the beast and trapped it in the Grand Brightness Secret Tunnel."
"Sister Sloan." Yvette turned toward her and asked, "But that was 500 years ago; the fierce beast should have died by now..."
Sloan shook her head and said thoughtfully, "Princess, there are many elite people in this society, and the higher their cultivation, the longer they live. It is the same with many wild beasts that cultivate—we call them spiritual beasts. Most of these beasts are at Martial Saints or Martial Emperor level, or even higher! And they can live for a very long time too."
Then, Sloan let out a long sigh before she continued to say, "According to the records, the wild beast from 500 years ago was very powerful! Many Martial Emperor warriors died when they tried to defeat it. Given its power, it can easily live for a few hundred years."
Darryl, who had listened closely, was curious about that.
'A fierce spiritual beast? I must take a good look at it.'
Then, Darryl stepped into the entrance in huge strides.
"Darryl, stop!"
He had taken only two steps forward when a sweet voice shouted from behind him. Then, Sloan immediately rushed forward.
When Sloan reached him, there were doubts written all over her face. "What are you doing?"
Darryl was not happy when he saw Sloan's arrogance, but he smiled. "I'm going to see the wild beast, of course. Do you still need to ask?"
Sloan was worried; she stomped her feet. " No, you can't go!"
"Why not?" Darryl asked with furrowed brows.
It was funny—the Incandescent Sect had been destroyed, and their main altar became part of the New World's land.
Darryl could do whatever he wanted on his own land, so why would he not go there?
Sloan took a deep breath; she tried her best to calm down. Then, she said thoughtfully,"
What if the creature in the tunnel is the fierce beast that the Incandescent Sect and other sects defeated 500 years ago? You can’t go in; that beast is too scary. The people would suffer if you accidentally let it out. Can you bear the consequences then?
Darryl smiled lightly. "You don't have to worry about that. Don't forget-we have destroyed the Incandescent Sect. Mount Mingwang now belongs to the Elysium Gate, including the fierce beast in the secret tunnel."
