Chapter 827 We’ll Be Cheering for You

　　“This is definitely a place of great evil!” Xiao Chengfeng looked at the giant frost wolf with vigilance. The wolf was a half-step Wisdom Dictator. To encounter a monster of this caliber not long after they entered just showed how dangerous the ancestral land was, so much so that even the Yun Clan who entered before them could not escape from the danger.

　　At that moment, the giant frost wolf slowly turned its head to face them. Its blue eyes seemed to pierce through everyone, giving them the chills. Just when everyone was about to prepare for battle, the giant frost wolf turned its attention back to the corpse. It chomped down on the corpse’s head and ran off.

　　Shocked by the unexpectedness of it all, they remained standing where they were for quite a while.

　　“It’s…making way for us?” asked Yang Jing with uncertainty.

　　The giant frost wolf was in the middle of their path before it had cleared the way for them.

　　“I think…the ancestral land’s danger is only reserved for outsiders and holds no threat to us,” mused Dragin. “Oh, I’m familiar with how this works!” said Nanan seriously.

　　The Heavenly Palace people’s jaws dropped to the ground but soon, they accepted the reality of it all. After all, it was not like they had not seen this happen before.

　　Cultivator Junjun cleared his throat and said, “Let’s continue on our way.”

　　It was just as Dragin postulated. Along the way, they came across many fierce monsters, even one that was close to the level of a Wisdom Dictator. However, none of the monsters ever attacked them. The road seemed to go on infinitely, and after god-knows-how-long, they arrived at an area shrouded in a violent windstorm.

　　The terrifying Wisdom aura raged on wildly, forming a turbulent wind that was strong enough to make a Wisdom Dictator’s blood run cold, strong enough to destroy heaven and earth, and strong enough to rip the space apart into emptiness.

　　The Heavenly Palace people were frightened by what they saw before them. Nanan and Dragin, however, calmly entered the windstorm. The wind dissipated wherever their foot fell. All was well.

　　Cultivator Junjun pursed his lips and said, “It seems like we’ve been unnecessarily worried.”

　　The group continued on their way and they soon caught up with Yun Kong’s group who were struggling to move forward in the terrifying sea of fire. Countless defensive treasures were suspended mid-air, turning into shields to protect them as they slowly moved forward step by step.

　　Yun Kong’s face was solemn. Even he, a Wisdom Dictator, would perish if he made a wrong move in the sea of fire. The flame used Wisdom as fuel and it could also refine Wisdom. No matter what treasure it was, it would definitely lose its power if it stayed in the flames for too long. Similarly, if they stayed there for too long, their Wisdom would be burnt away until there was nothing left.

　　“Just how far does this sea of fire go? It feels like there’s no end to this.”

　　“This is my last defense treasure and my mana’s running out.”

　　“We shouldn’t have entered the ancestral land! This place is too dangerous!”

　　“The Overlord has gone through a great expense to keep whatever’s hidden here safe, meaning to say that it must be something of immense value!”

　　The people of the Yun Clan were discussing amongst themselves. Along the way, they had lost half of their manpower, causing them to become deeply afraid of the ancestral land. They knew they would not last much longer even with their spiritual cultivation.

　　“The greater the danger, the more opportunities there are! Somewhere in here lies a power that can make us even more powerful than the Overlord! So you’d better all shut up. There’s no turning back for us now!” Yun Kong interrupted everyone’s discussion.

　　His words had the effect of bringing up their morale. After all, everything would be worth it once they received the power that would allow them to surpass the Overlord!

　　However, this calm did not last long, for they had noticed another group of people not far behind them.

　　“Sh*t! It seems like we’re not the only ones here!”

　　“Do my eyes deceive me? How are they unharmed in the sea of fire?”

　　“The flames are avoiding them, it’s giving them a path!”

　　“What, how, and why is this happening?”

　　Yun Kong frowned slightly. He thought they were talking nonsense. He turned around and was about to give them another scolding, but swallowed back his words when he saw Nanan and the others among the flames. His pupils widened and his eyes almost popped out.

　　“How…how is this possible?!” Yun Kong stood there in a daze, watching helplessly as Nanan and the others took one step after another toward him.

　　‘It’s the group of people that Yun Xiaolong brought over! How could Yun Shan fail to stop them?! And why are they walking around here as if they’re taking a stroll in the park?!! thought Yun Kong who was by then, plagued with frustration and doubts.

　　“Huh? Fancy meeting you here,” said Nanan with a smile.

　　“Wow, these flames are actually burning you. It looks so fun! Why won’t the flames burn us?” cried Dragin enviously.

　　Yun Kong and the others almost vomited blood on the spot. ‘Fun?! Do we look like we’re having fun? We’re in hell right now!’

　　“Don’t worry. Take your time. We’ll wait for you at the end,” said Yang Jing with a smile.

　　“Yes! We’ll be cheering for you from the sidelines!” said Xiao Chengfeng quickly.

　　In the next moment, Nanan and the others actually stopped in their tracks and took out a bunch of sunflower seeds. They then sat down to enjoy the show put on by Yun Kong and his group.

　　“Come on, don’t be discouraged, you’ll definitely make it across the sea of fire.”

　　“What are you doing? Your mana’s shaking! It’s too dangerous like that. You have to keep it under control.”

　　“Stay steady! Steady, I say!”

　　A dark cloud started to form above the heads of Yun Kong and the others. They not only had to endure physical torture but emotional torture as well. Yun Kong’s eyes were bloodshot and he was trembling with anger. He was like a furious tiger that wanted to sink its teeth into its enemies.

　　By the time they crossed the sea of fire, their group was short by five more members. Then, they found themselves in a world of thunder and lightning. The lightning bolts not only blanketed the sky but the ground as well while the electric currents writhed in the air like dancing silver snakes.

　　However, it was the same old story. Nanan and the others were unaffected, while Yun Kong and the others were struck again and again by the lightning bolts. Then, they came to an ice world. Yun Kong and the others would not feel as bad if they did not have Nanan and the others as a comparison. Some of the cultivators actually became so depressed by the unfair treatment that they chose to commit suicide.

　　Even Yun Kong was not spared from the rollercoaster of emotions. He had been struck so many times that all the hair on his body had been zapped off and his skin was nothing but charred pieces of leather. Yun Kong gritted his teeth and vowed to himself that he would rain down payback on Nanan and the others as soon as he got the ultimate power hidden in the ancestral land.

　　Finally, the terrifying visions in the sky disappeared and everyone arrived in an open field that seemed to go on endlessly. There stood a lonely figure with his hands folded behind his back. He was looking deeply at everyone.

　　A jolt went through the surviving members of the Yun Clan as their pupils shrank rapidly when they saw the figure.

　　“Isn’t that the Overlord?!”
