Deity Hero: Me! Gaining Disciples Makes Me Stronger!-Chapter 339: The Appearance of the Ancients

Chapter 339: The Appearance of the Ancients

"Senior? What are you doing? Haven't we already discovered the treasure?"

Looking at the confused disciples, Xuan Yi couldn't be bothered to waste his breath.

Like lightning, he dashed through the underground palace.

He didn't have any time left to spare. If he continued wasting time, he feared that he would be killed by the unknown being.

After all, he was the one who forced the system to issue an emergency escape mission.

Xuan Yi was not confident that he could win easily.

He maintained his maximum speed all the way while every cell in his body roared furiously.

He mobilized all the spiritual essence in his body and darted past various garrisons like a fiery flash of light.

Many people noticed him as well, but from their point of view, it was impossible to catch up to Xuan Yi's speed.

The speed of lightning could no longer be used to describe his speed.

Soon, Xuan Yi had already covered a hundred miles. At this moment, he was still some distance away from leaving the underground palace.

He gritted his teeth and mustered his strength again.

Using his spiritual essence to stimulate every cell in his body while disregarding the damage that it might cause, he maximized his power output.

Even with Xuan Yi's body's strength, he could barely maintain it.

However, he persevered until the mission completion notification sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission."

Upon hearing this, he slowed down slightly and rushed out of the underground palace's main entrance.

He ignored the shouts and obstructions of the other people and continued to sprint forward.

After pulling some distance apart, Xuan Yi concealed his aura and crawled in a nearby underground cave, looking at the entrance of the underground palace from afar.

Even being quite far away, he could still feel the scorching aura emanating from the palace.

It was unknown if the incident was triggered by exploring disciples who broke the seal.

Suddenly, Xuan Yi heard the sounds of burning flames and heavy breathing.

It sounded like bodies being burned to a crisp by raging flames, as well as screams formed from burnt throats.

The sounds were transmitted from the underground palace and were extremely horrifying.

A few disciples who were guarding the door were oblivious of what had happened.

But their survival instincts were urging them to leave.

"What's going on in there? Did you guys hear anything strange?"

"I heard it too, and it seems like something is coming this way."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow appeared out of nowhere.

Immediately, the others became nervous and picked up their weapons.

"Run quickly, don't bother anymore, someone must have triggered the seal."

"But what if Master and the others know we left?"

Before he could finish his words, the dark figure suddenly accelerated and bolted out of the shadows.

The tensed nerves of the disciples were broken in an instant, and countless attacks were launched towards the figure at the door.

One of them glanced at the figure unintentionally and hurriedly asked his companions to stop.

"Stop, it's Elder Zhang."

When the smoke dispersed, a relatively young man appeared before them.

However, his entire body was trembling uncontrollably, appeared to be charred black, and his clothes seemed to have also been burned.

Most importantly, he seemed to be a lunatic, and the voices coming out of his throat did not sound human.

Xuan Yi had some impressions of this person.

The man could be considered a rare living legend.

He had already reached the intermediate stage of the Heavenly King Realm in just around 3,000 years. To Xuan Yi, he was quite a worthy opponent.

In time, he might not even be a match for that old maniac.

Nonetheless, it was unknown how such a person could end up in a crazy state like this.

At present, he looked extremely old. His eyes were dull, his entire body was filthy and his skin was full of wrinkles.

He looked like a frail old man.

"Elder Zhang, what's wrong? Why are you like this? Where are the others?"

A few disciples hurriedly went forward to support him.

Hearing the questions of the disciples, he acted as if he did not hear them.

No one knew what he was thinking.

He only muttered, "It's coming, it's coming."

The few disciples were extremely puzzled. They discussed settling him down, while the others went in to check.

They were unaware, but Xuan Yi, who was hidden in another place, noticed it.

At the entrance of the underground palace, the flow of time slowed down tremendously.

One-tenth.

It seemed that what the Dean said was true about the different time flow.

Just as Xuan Yi discovered this phenomenon, the sound of footsteps entered his ears.

A faint sense of threat stimulated him.

He immediately withdrew his mind and focused on observing.

As the footsteps approached, the other disciples also heard it one after another.

A mysterious figure appeared out of the dark once again.

But this time, it was clear they had come with bad intentions.

Even Xuan Yi who was far away could feel it.

Following that, many similar figures emerged out of the underground palace.

Their battle intent soared to the sky, and a terrifying pressure covered the entire area.

Even Xuan Yi felt a little uneasy.

At this time, a naive disciple mustered up his courage and asked, "Who are you? How dare you barge into the underground palace? Are you tired of living?"

The leading figure ignored him and merely glanced at him.

The low-level disciple felt a horrifying pressure and exploded to death.

"Who are you? What era is this?"

The disciples looked at each other, not knowing what the figure was talking about.

What was he trying to achieve?

"How dare you? We are the disciples of the Ten Great Sects and you dare to kill our people?"

A few people were about to stand up but everyone was stunned when the mysterious figure turned around indifferently.

Only then did they remember that the more than ten figures in front of them were all Heavenly King Realm beings.

Behind them were figures of dozens of Sage Realm beings.

"Die."

The leading figure spoke softly. Soon after that, a small portal appeared behind him.

A Divine God carrying an aura of destruction descended into the world and proceeded to ruthlessly plunge a long spear towards the crowd as if it were an uninhabited realm below.

In the blink of an eye, these hundred disciples were all killed.

"Is this the current standard of the South Continent? It's a little lacking."

"We've been asleep for too long. I wonder if any old folks still recognize us?"

"Let's go see the post 100,000 years South Continent. This time, they will remember us."

Dozens of figures soared into the sky and left the area.

After a long time, Xuan Yi came out of his hiding spot.

Recalling the recent events, he roughly understood the current situation.

Judging from the conversation just now, this group of people probably existed 100,000 years ago.

For some reason, it was most likely a seal that forced them to be trapped here.

Some people might have broken the seal and unintentionally released this group of ancient beings. The fate of the current South Continent would no doubt change drastically soon.

To further confirm his theory, Xuan Yi came to the camp previously set up by the disciples to search for informative records.
