CHAPTER 574: CHAPTER 576: CAN’T YOU ALL SEE IT?

It was not a human shadow, but a beast’s silhouette!

You could say it was an Exotic Beast standing there, like a Black Shadow!

Because its entire body was jet black, even its eyes were a dark color.

If not for a faint glint in its eyes, one could hardly tell where they were.

"About one meter seventy-eight!" Yang Yan mused to himself.

As tall as an adult, it had four claws.

"A Blood Bat?" Yang Yan thought it resembled one.

He stood up and ignored the Exotic Beast standing by the wall.

Just let it feel unnoticed!

*"Could it really be the creature everyone talked about?"*

If this were such a creature, there was no reason people in Fengmo Country wouldn’t recognize it!

Besides, if the Exotic Beast by the wall was indeed the elusive creature, it had no reason to hide and not attack him!

Yang Yan thought as he opened the door and left the room. When he left,

the Exotic Beast followed him, keeping to the edge of the wall.

Although the lights outside were bright, there were still dark places.

The Exotic Beast slipped into the darkness as soon as it emerged.

Bang!

Yang Yan shut the door completely, turning his head.

When he looked back, he found everyone had come out. He was the last to exit!

However, he wasn’t focused on that; he noticed there were many Exotic Beasts in the corner.

They resembled the one that had stared at him in his room and now peered from behind a pillar.

The only difference was their varying sizes.

The smallest was one meter tall, and the largest was as tall as two people!

They were audacious!

A few hid directly in the shadows behind people, eerily so!

*"Can’t they see them? And why don’t they attack? Is it because there are too many people?"* Yang Yan asked himself.

While he pondered, Qian Rong and Murong waved to him.

"Brother Yang!"

"Young Master Yang, over here!"

Yang Yan approached, noticing an Exotic Beast crouched in the shadows beside them.

Its eyes fixated on Qian Rong and Murong with a greedy look!

At that moment, Yang Yan realized he was the only one who could see the Exotic Beasts!

Only he could see everything clearly!

*"What exactly is this Exotic Beast?"*

Even the Blood Bat couldn’t hide in darkness to this extent, making itself invisible!

"Is everyone here?" Before Yang Yan could think it through, someone at the front shouted, interrupting his thoughts.

Yang Yan raised his head calmly, looking at the person speaking and those beside him!

They were none other than the Central Continent’s Geniuses summoned by the King of Fengmo, Royal Heirs of the Primordial Sacred Dynasty.

There were eight of them, standing imposingly!

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is here!" one of the King of Fengmo’s sons replied.

The young man in the white robe nodded.

"Since everyone is here, you must immediately see to a task, and if anyone disobeys,

death!" he said coldly.

His voice was chilly, sending shivers through the King of Fengmo’s son and concubines.

"Did you hear that!"

"Heard!" everyone responded.

The young man in the white robe continued to speak.

"Very well, the task I have for you is simple!

Immediately go and gather all the people inside the Imperial Palace.

Especially the King of Fengmo, make sure he is summoned here!"

After he spoke, everyone exchanged glances.

"May I ask why?" a son of the King of Fengmo asked cautiously.

"Because Devils have gathered outside the palace. I worry they might attack.

If you are scattered, I can’t protect all of you!

So gather first, and I can protect everyone!" the young man in white stated firmly.

He didn’t mention there were creatures inside the palace, fearing it might frighten those present, making them too afraid to go out!

Devils gathered outside the palace!

People were terrified!

"Aren’t you the Central Continent’s Geniuses, strong and powerful? Why don’t you go kill them?" a concubine in the crowd asked, confused.

Her confusion was shared by everyone.

Eight Central Continent Geniuses, Royal Heirs of the Primordial Sacred Dynasty.

During the day, they had confidently claimed they could slay Devils!

But now, with Devils just outside the palace, they weren’t going out to slay them!

*It was incredibly contradictory.*

"Too many to kill!" the young man with the spear said directly.

Too many!

People were more frightened!

"Enough, stop asking questions! Hurry up and handle the task, or it will be too late!" the young man in the blue robe urged.

However, the King of Fengmo’s sons and concubines looked grim.

They were already terrified and didn’t dare go out.

"The statue has already manifested, so they can’t get in!

Besides, with our protection, what are you afraid of?" the young man in white bellowed.

His voice roared, deafening all around!

"Since they can’t get in, why do we need to gather everyone here?

Moreover, why don’t you go instead? Why send us?" A calm and composed voice suddenly rang out.

The eight Royal Heirs of the Primordial Sacred Dynasty frowned slightly.

"Who is speaking!" the young man with the spear shouted.

The crowd parted, revealing Yang Yan at the back.

He was the one speaking!

"I said it, any problem?" Yang Yan stared at them, speaking.

He hadn’t intended to step forward but saw that some people had been injured.

There was also a group of Exotic Beasts nearby, and he thought it was time to step up and do something!

When he spoke, others quickly chimed in agreement!

"Yeah, with the statue manifested, why do we need to gather?"

"The Devils can’t get in, so everyone in the palace is safe.

We should just stay here peacefully, no need to go out!"

"You’re so strong, you go gather people, why make us go?"

They continued to speak up, making the eight Royal Heirs of the Primordial Sacred Dynasty visibly impatient.

"The Devils indeed can’t get in for now, but we must be proactive, in case they attack!

Don’t forget, there’s also a creature here!

It could attack you at any moment!

If scattered, we can’t save everyone in time!

We face exterior and interior threats, and as eight of us, we must stay alert to danger for defense with no time to gather people!

It has to be you!" the young man with the spear replied coldly.

A creature?

*"Just one creature requires all eight of you to be vigilant?"* Yang Yan asked quietly.

The young man with the spear glared at Yang Yan.

"Kid, are you looking for trouble?"

Yang Yan shrugged.

"Am I?"

"Of course!

Let me tell you and all of you!

We are Royal Heirs of the Primordial Sacred Dynasty, Central Continent’s Geniuses, mighty Martial Artists!

What we ask you to do is correct, it’s what’s best for you!"

"Is it?" Yang Yan asked again.

"Do you think we’d harm you?" he demanded, glaring at Yang Yan!

Yang Yan smiled.

"I think you’re harming us!"

With so many Exotic Beasts around, if they scattered and left this side palace now.

The Exotic Beasts would see the crowd split, isolating individuals, and couldn’t resist attacking.

Those who went out would die, except for him, Qian Rong, and Murong!

If that’s not harm, what is?

Not to mention there were many Exotic Beasts in this side palace already, wasn’t it unlikely there’d be none outside?

Yang Yan doubted there was none outside!

"Harming you?

You’re judging us with a narrow mind!

Why would we need a plot to harm you?

With our strength, we could kill you outright!

Why bother going to such lengths?" the young man in the blue robe retorted.

"Moreover, you’re just a Doctor.

We are Geniuses, cultivators, we’re the strong ones here to save people!

You know nothing, so just shut up for me!"

"Who says I know nothing?" Yang Yan said calmly.

"Oh, kid.

You know?

What do you know?

You accuse us of harming people, do you have evidence?"

"Evidence? Isn’t everything around here evidence? Can’t you, the powerful cultivators, see it?" Yang Yan looked around and said.
