The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Yang Yan saw the broad-mindedness and righteousness of the Nether Spirit and respectfully said, "Great Elder is noble, truly the Guardian of the Elf Race!"

The Nether Spirit humbly replied, "Ashamedly, although I can rely on the power of the Mother Tree to make my strength comparable to the late stage of Divinity Transformation, I must remain in the Elf Race’s ancestral land for my entire life."

Yang Yan hurriedly said, "The Great Elder is the Guardian God of the Elf Race, it is rightful to guard this place."

Seeing Yang Yan’s deep understanding of righteousness, the Nether Spirit’s impression of him doubled, and he sighed, "It’s a pity that I can’t step forward when the Wandering Dragon Star is in crisis, truly regrettable."

Yang Yan also felt deeply regretful.

If the Great Elder Nether Spirit could step forward, there would be no need to laboriously repair the Nascent Void to battle the Celestial Demon King.

At that time, everyone joining forces could certainly capture the remnants of the Celestial Demon King.

Yang Yan could only force a smile and comfort the Nether Spirit by saying, "Great Elder need not worry, your intention is already greatly appreciated by us."

The Nether Spirit said, "Although this old one cannot personally assist in the battle, if you, young friend, need anything, just ask, and I will do my utmost to help!"

Upon hearing the Great Elder’s words, Yang Yan was overjoyed and quickly said, "I came to the Dark Night Great Forest this time to seek a wood attribute Extreme Soldier."

The Nether Spirit laughed upon hearing this and said, "I knew your purpose for coming long ago, our previous conversation was merely to test your character."

Yang Yan was shocked but soon relieved.

However, he couldn’t help but ask, "How did the Great Elder know my intentions?"

The Nether Spirit chuckled and explained, "The Great Array of our Elf Race also possesses divination capabilities, able to calculate worldly affairs, how could I not know such matters?"

Yang Yan only then realized that it was not personal deduction, but the power of the array.

He couldn’t help but praise, "The Nine Spirits Extinguishing Immortal Array is indeed infinitely useful."

The Nether Spirit ignored Yang Yan’s flattery and said to him, "Young friend, please follow me."

Seeing the Nether Spirit’s expression, Yang Yan knew the Great Elder was going to give him the wood attribute Extreme Soldier, and he was thrilled, quickly following in his footsteps.

The Nether Spirit led Yang Yan through the Mother Tree’s great array and turned around to sternly warn Yang Yan, "Be careful, stay close behind me."

Hearing this, Yang Yan’s heart tightened, and he lightly nodded, even holding his breath, trying to calm his aura as much as possible.

From the divine patterns emitting terrifying auras, it could be seen that the Elf Race was indeed a race favored by the gods, unfathomable.

Yang Yan became intensely vigilant, not daring to relax, and carefully followed the Nether Spirit to a magnificent grand hall.

Feeling the ancient yet pure wood attribute aura, Yang Yan couldn’t help but be solemn in spirit.

It seemed the wood attribute Extreme Soldier must be hidden there.

Seeing Yang Yan’s serious expression, the Nether Spirit solemnly explained, "This is our Elf Race’s ancestral temple, enshrining all the Great Powers who have made outstanding contributions."

Hearing this, Yang Yan showed a look of reverence on his face and bowed toward the direction of the hall from afar.

The Nether Spirit nodded and said, "What you need is inside this ancestral temple, come with me to retrieve it."

Although he had anticipated this outcome, when the Nether Spirit said it, Yang Yan couldn’t help but be extremely excited.

Knowing that the purpose of his journey was about to be fulfilled, Yang Yan no longer hesitated and quickly followed the Nether Spirit.

Yang Yan followed the Nether Spirit to the front of the ancestral temple and saw countless intricate Spirit Patterns carved on the door.

These mysterious Spirit Patterns deeply attracted Yang Yan’s gaze.

Unconsciously, Yang Yan’s Divine Sense slowly immersed into them.

Seeing Yang Yan in this state, the Nether Spirit seemed to be talking to himself, "Whether you can get the Divine Wood Staff next depends on yourself."

At that moment, Yang Yan’s body and demeanor eerily froze at the moment he saw the divine pattern, but inside his sea of consciousness, it was a stormy turmoil.

Yang Yan found himself in a mysterious space, surrounded by darkness.

Most astonishingly, he actually felt the terrifying aura of the Celestial Demon King!

Almost instinctively, Yang Yan immediately mobilized his Spiritual Power to defend and shouted around, "Who’s sneaking around here, show yourself!"

Suddenly, an ear-piercing sound, like metal scraping, came from the surroundings, "Human ant, prepare to die!"

Yang Yan was shocked beyond measure.

Strange, how could the Celestial Demon King be here...

Could it be that the Wandering Dragon Alliance has been wiped out?!

Suddenly, the Celestial Demon King appeared in front of Yang Yan, an immense, terrifying aura rushed toward him.

In an instant, Yang Yan was immobilized by this imposing aura.

Just when Yang Yan thought the Celestial Demon King would kill him, the atmosphere suddenly became calm and peaceful.

As he opened his eyes, the Celestial Demon King had disappeared from the mysterious space.

Instinctively, he searched around, but even the aura of the Celestial Demon King was gone.

Hoo—

Yang Yan let out a heavy breath, as if drained of strength, and collapsed to the ground.

Only then did he truly feel the terrifying power of the Celestial Demon King.

Earlier, the Celestial Demon King hadn’t even made a move, just the aura emitted from his body had instantly robbed him of the courage to resist.

Slowly calming down, Yang Yan realized that the cold sweat on his body had completely soaked his clothes.

The fear experienced in that life-and-death moment was bone-chilling, impervious even to a Golden Core peak like Yang Yan.

Even now, he still felt lingering fear.

Shua—

Suddenly, a beam of strong light illuminated the dark mysterious space, and Yang Yan instinctively looked around. He quickly realized this was an imposing and grand ancient hall.

Just as Yang Yan pondered where this place was, a white-robed man appeared in the hall’s center, with white hair and a youthful face, full of energy.

The moment Yang Yan saw the white-robed elder, a flash of astonishment involuntarily crossed his eyes.

He immediately used his Divine Sense to perceive the strength of the elder before him, but found he couldn’t see through this white-robed elder at all.

But he was exceptionally clear in his mind that the strength of this elder far exceeded that of the Great Elder Nether Spirit.

Using an extremely guarded tone, Yang Yan asked, "Who are you?"

The elder replied in an emotionless, mechanical tone, "I am the caretaker of this hall, I just saved you."

Unable to discern the situation here, Yang Yan said, "Thank you for the life-saving grace, senior. Junior does not know what this place is, and hopes senior can explain."

The elder expressionlessly said, "This is the Ancestral Temple Hall of the Elf Tribe, I am the attendant of the Elf Tribe’s progenitor, ordered to guard this hall."

Yang Yan relaxed a bit upon hearing this and introduced himself, "I am Yang Yan, a friend of the Great Elder Nether Spirit."

Still maintaining the same cold expression, the white-robed elder said, "Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn’t have saved you just now."
