Evil Nest?!

Lu Ran felt a chill run down his spine.

He wasn't entirely sure whether the classical Chinese mansion shrouded in heavy Yin energy was the so-called "Evil Nest."

But within this pitch-dark Demon Cave, other than the undulating hills, were only the Black Grave Mounds.

Where had there ever been an ancient mansion?

Thus... it was very likely this was the Evil Nest!

As the name suggests, the Evil Nest was the lair of the Evil Demon Clan.

This lair could produce a large number of Evil Demons in an extremely short time!

As everyone knows, each Evil Demon's life was granted by the Evil Demon's Original Statue.

The "Evil Nest" was one of the methods used by the Evil Demon's Original Statue to create Evil Demon minions!

In the early 1980s, when the Evil Demons first arrived, various kinds of Evil Nests would always descend onto the human realm.

As divinity descended and suppressed the Evil Demon's Original Statue, driving it deep into the Demon Cave, the so-called "Evil Nests" rarely appeared in the human world anymore.

At least for Lu Ran's generation, they had never seen an Evil Nest in the city they lived in.

Lu Ran could only learn about this concept through books and online, and he couldn't even find related images or videos.

In Lu Ran's eyes, this massive haunted mansion, hanging with Black Lanterns, surely appeared to be an Evil Nest of the Black Lantern Clan.

Of course, if a Yan Zhi emerged from this dark mansion...

It would be unreasonable, but certainly fitting.

Four big characters: She deserves it!

Without the filter of hostility, looking again at this grand classical Chinese mansion, it truly appeared ancient, elegant, and luxurious.

The Black Lantern Clan could act as decor, but if they were the masters of the manor, something would still seem lacking.

You place a dignified and noble Yan Zhi at the front of the manor, wouldn't that uphold the aura?

"Let's go, let's go back!"

Lu Ran had many thoughts, but contemplation happened in an instant; upon seeing the special mansion, he immediately called to the others.

"Thank you, young man..." The middle-aged woman was emotionally stirred, her eyes slightly red as she looked at Lu Ran.

In the woman's arms, the slim and slender girl was already free from the control of the Yin Fire Cage.

She appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen, probably a university student?

Her beauty was extraordinary, almost on par with Jiang Ruyi.

However, her complexion was very poor at the moment, and it nearly seemed like fire was about to burst from her beautiful eyes!

"There's no time for thanks now, hurry up, hurry!"

Lu Ran urged everyone to leave.

Those around hadn't the ability to see in the dark, so naturally, they couldn't see the massive ancient house at the edge of the graveyard.

However, there were a lot of Black Lantern Clan around, and more were gathering; to the others, Lu Ran's behavior seemed quite normal.

"My war hammer is still in there."

The girl suddenly spoke, her voice clearly carrying a roiling anger.

"Xianxian, let's not worry about the weapon now, let's head back; our lives are the most important!" the middle-aged woman hurriedly said.

"I'll go get it." The girl stepped forward, casually summoning a ghostly, long-handled war hammer.

Chang Ying looked at the warhammer and blurted out, "Fierce Heavenly believers?"

The name Fierce Heavenly silenced everyone.

This slender girl was one of the Fierce Heavenly believers?

Seventh-class God·Fierce Heavenly, commonly referred to as "Fierce Sky Hammer."

His Divine Sculpture depicted a burly man wielding a war hammer, rugged and fierce!

The Fierce Heavenly Sect's Divine Techniques almost entirely focused on output, with shockingly strong killing power!

The god Fierce Heavenly himself was explosively powerful; even considering his combat ability alone, he was not inferior to a First-class God!

But why wasn't Divine·Fierce Heavenly ranked at the very top?

Why did Fierce Heavenly rank only seventh, not even making it into the top three?

Because from top to bottom, from god to believer, almost all members of the Fierce Heavenly Sect had severe personality flaws.

Their nature was like fierce fire, irascible and easily angered!

Strictly speaking, this shouldn't even be called a "flaw."

There are countless humans, each with different dispositions: some are calm, some are cunning, some are fiercely violent.

This is quite normal.

But the issue is, those already quick-tempered and easily angered people, upon joining under Fierce Sky Hammer, would be deeply influenced by the god's temperament...

And that really makes things uncontrollable!

This also led to the rarity of Fierce Heavenly believers.

From a certain perspective, like the Immortal Sheep believers, they were not well-liked.

The difference being, Immortal Sheep believers are scorned due to their cowardice.

Fierce Heavenly believers, however, are shunned due to their excessively violent nature.

Who would want a ticking time bomb in their team?

Especially one that explodes upon contact?

Not only do student teams avoid Fierce Heavenly believers.

You'd rarely see them in military units or within the Divine People Bureau·Watch Moon teams either.

Even if such believers had combat abilities that broke through the heavens, it wouldn't matter!

After all, the military prioritizes discipline and strict orders first and foremost—that's the premise!

"Si Xianxian!" The middle-aged woman shouted sharply, "It's just a hammer, stop being so willful!"

Si Xianxian's footsteps abruptly halted, her chest heaving dramatically.

It was evident she was forcefully suppressing the raging anger in her heart.

From earlier, when Si Xianxian was accidentally affected by illusions and struggled violently to free herself, only to be controlled again, and then massively bombarded by the Black Lantern army...

Si Xianxian was already on the verge of "berserk."

"Snap!"

The woman suddenly unleashed a Bamboo Whip, coiling around her daughter's waist and pulling her backwards as they ran towards the orderly retreating group.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Si Xianxian was really about to explode!

The virtual war hammer in her hand materialized, and she viciously smashed it into the ground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Flames surged!

A tidal wave of fire roared and surged forward.

The retreating group, seeing this scene, couldn't help but feel their hearts race.

Damn...

The output was just too damn explosive!

Officially a Seventh-class God believer, but actually a First-class God believer!

Honestly, it was only because Si Xianxian was still River Realm·Second Rank, and her mother could still somewhat manage her.

If her strength were a bit higher, and she were more heavily influenced by the god...

There probably wouldn't be anyone in this world who could control her.

This type of believer, easily blinded by rage, one could imagine the outcome.

In fact, from the moment a Human Clan member joined under Fierce Heavenly...

This person had already embarked on a path of "self-destruction."

"Damn!"

Lu Ran, who was sprinting with the team, suddenly changed color!

The influence range of the Evil Nest was shockingly large.

Especially those rising wisps of black fog from the courtyard, like black satin ribbons, dancing wildly.

There were a great many "black fog satin ribbons", one of which swept across the path the group was charging through.

As the black fog spread, a myriad of Black Lanterns emerged.

"Ah?"

"What kind of Evil Technique is that?"

"Holy shit!!" Panic erupted within the team.

This prompted everyone to realize something was amiss.

"Is this... is this an Evil Nest?" Si Xianxian's mother reacted quickly, her face shocked.

Strictly speaking, this middle-aged woman hadn't seen an Evil Nest in the human world either.

She was born in the early '80s, and by the time she had memories, the Evil Demons had already been driven deep into the Demon Cave.

But Si's mother's parents had, of course, lived through the era when Evil Demons first descended and Evil Nests frequently appeared.

Apparently, she must have heard such stories firsthand.

After the black fog passed, endless Evil Demons emerged; what else could it be but an Evil Nest?

"Bang!"

"Bang!!" In an instant, the clustered Black Lanterns exploded one after another.

Waves of air rolled, obstructing the group's forward movement.

The exploding black fire spread from in front of them all the way up into the night sky.

The black fog satin ribbons continued to wildly wave about, and a vast number of Black Lanterns surged out.

The group went pale.

When had they ever seen such a terrifying scene?

Previously, when venturing into the Demon Cave, soldiers had clearly stated that the inside of the Demon Cave was turbulent, and it was not advisable for students to enter for training.

But turbulence, at least, occurred in the depths of the Demon Cave.

Different Demon Caves each had their own Evil Demon strongholds, also located differently.

Some were on the surface, at the farthest reaches of the night that Lu Ran had never been to.

Others were situated at the bottom of the Demon Cave, possibly even on the second or third sublevel.

No matter which type, the Evil Demon stronghold was definitely far from this location.

But now, there was an Evil Nest right here?

Located in a region controlled by the Human Clan, deeply embedded behind human powers?

What exactly did the Evil Demons want?

Had the Black Lantern Clan grown powerful enough to launch a counterattack against the human world?

"We have to break through, we must break through." Tian Tian shouted urgently, "We have to hurry back to Stone City!"

As she spoke, she pushed out a Nine-petal Lotus, swinging it forward, trying to carve out a path.

But with Black Lanterns densely packed together, forming a solid mass, how could a mere Nine-petal Lotus forge a way through?

Lu Ran's expression wasn't very good; his mind raced, but he couldn't figure out how to solve the predicament.

The Black Lantern Clan had a special structure, devoid of facial features, and completely impervious to his "Sound of Despair"!

Lu Ran couldn't lure the Black Lantern Clan away.

He was indeed confident that he could escape back to Stone City.

After all, the Immortal Sheep Sect's Divine Technique existed solely for the purpose of fleeing.

But what about his teammates?

Lu Ran certainly couldn't leave his teammates behind!

"Screw it, I'll do it!"

An irate female voice suddenly rang out, fury filling the air!

Taking advantage of the Black Lantern Clan's chain explosions, Si Xianxian darted out, her pitch-black hair fluttering.

The seemingly fragile girl summoned a massive war hammer, charging forward ferociously.

Fierce Heavenly Divine Technique·Fierce Sky Hammer!

All the fury in Si Xianxian's heart, desperately needing an outlet!

Who cared about what Evil Nest or deadly situation it was.

She'd vent her anger first!

"Xianxian!" While Si's mother was full of worry, she didn't stop her.

Among those present, the only one truly capable of leading the group to break through this encirclement was this temperamental Fierce Heavenly believer!

Fierce Heavenly believers might not make good teammates.

Indeed, Fierce Heavenly believers might not even be "good" people.

But for breaking through, causing explosions, and assaulting?

You look to Fierce Heavenly for that!

"Hu~"

Si Xianxian leapt high, her extremely beautiful face distorted slightly by the raging fury within.

The long-handled war hammer in her hand was a staggering 3 meters long!

It was hard to imagine that it was a weapon used by humans.

Above the huge and heavy hammerhead, streaked with shattered lines, fiery flames burst forth.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The hammer struck the ground, and the earth trembled.

The sea of fire surged, wave after wave!

Fierce Heavenly Divine Technique·Fiery Earth Thousand Flames!

"Bang!"

"Bang..." The tidal wave of fire swallowed the endless Black Lanterns, the sound of explosions ceaseless.

The violent air waves shook everyone's clothes, forcing them to continuously retreat.

Si Xianxian continued to hammer wildly amidst the raging flames, a cursing voice carrying through: "Screw you all! Die!!"

Lu Ran: "..."

Such eloquent words from Da Xia.
