Chapter 1240: The Four Great Elders Emerge Together!

Ye Yuan inquired of the crowd very amiably, but they feared him like a tiger and collectively retreated several steps in fright.

"You... don't come near me!"

Long Zhen was scared shitless; he truly had a psychological shadow regarding Ye Yuan.

The events of that year had left an indelible impression on him.

He had originally thought he could let it go, but unexpectedly, this demon had appeared again!

This man was simply his nightmare.

Seeing the expressions on these fellows, Ye Yuan was speechless.

He was genuinely curious whether this place really was the space beyond the Dark Forest.

But these fellows were clearly frightened by his strength.

Yet he truly meant no harm!

"Um, you're called Long Zhen, right? Can you tell me if this is the Dark Forest? From here, can one cross to the Boundless Realm?" Ye Yuan asked with a beaming smile.

He took a step forward, and those fellows, like startled rabbits, finally unable to bear the psychological pressure, fled with their tails between their legs.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan felt helpless.

"Come on, am I that scary? I haven't even made a move yet, alright?" Ye Yuan said in exasperation.

Bai Guang laughed heartily and said, "These guys are such cowards, they've disgraced our Four Symbols Clan."

Li'er smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, you haven't made a move, but they're terrified by your strength. The ninth-order peak young master couldn't even last a single move under your hand; how could they not be afraid?"

Ye Yuan said helplessly, "It seems I'll have to use force."

With that, Ye Yuan's form flickered and vanished from the spot.

The young master was fleeing at top speed when suddenly a terrifying sword intent locked onto him.

The young master's hair stood on end; he seemed to see Death beckoning to him.

Unexpectedly, he became even more like a startled bird, wanting to escape.

"Run again, and you die!"

Ye Yuan's words, as if emanating from the Nine Nether, shattered his illusions.

The young master's steps came to an abrupt halt; he found a young man staring at him coldly.

As for the others, Ye Yuan simply ignored them and let them leave.

In Ye Yuan's view, this young master might know more.

...

"Grea... Great Elder, something terrible has happened!"

When the crowd returned to the clan, chaos immediately erupted, alarming the entire clan.

"Shouting and yelling, what decorum is that! With me here, the sky won't fall!" The Great Elder Long Yan said with displeasure.

Hearing the Great Elder's steady voice, the crowd calmed down a bit.

"Great Elder, something truly terrible has happened! A... a human has intruded into our Divine Beast Domain, and... and..." Long Zhen hesitated, stammering.

Long Yan's expression changed as well. A human intruding into the Divine Beast Domain hadn't happened in who knows how many years.

"And what? Speak!" Long Yan said sternly.

"And... he has captured the young master!" Long Zhen said hesitantly.

The young master was Long Yan's direct grandson.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Long Yan flew into a rage.

"Such an arrogant human, trespassing into my Divine Beast Domain and daring to detain my grandson—this is courting death! Who is this person? Did he break in through the spatial passage from the lower realm?" Long Yan said through gritted teeth.

Long Zhen shook his head and said, "I... I don't know, but he came from the direction of the Peach Blossom Forest."

Long Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? Impossible! The Peach Blossom Forest was personally laid out by the Ancestor. Unless a Divine Path powerhouse arrives in person, no one can pass through!"

Long Zhen smiled bitterly. "Elder, I don't know either! Perhaps he broke in from the lower realm and somehow ended up near the Peach Blossom Forest. Yes, that must be it. After all, he once entered the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain of the Boundless Realm."

The Grand Elder was taken aback. "You know him?"

Long Zhen nodded and briefly recounted his past conflict with Ye Yuan. Only then did the Grand Elder understand.

"Hmph! Whoever he is, daring to detain Chun'er means only death! Let's go, take me to see him!" Long Yan said.

As Long Yan stepped out, three other figures approached.

"Why are you three here too?" Long Yan asked.

In this Divine Beast Domain, the four clans lived together but were governed separately.

The three before him were the Grand Elders of the other three races.

"We heard that a human had broken in here, not weak in strength, and had detained Long Chun. We planned to take a look. Knowing you were going, we came to find you together," said the Grand Elder of the Tiger Clan.

Long Yan did not hesitate. "Alright, let's go!"

……

Through a mix of coercion and persuasion, Ye Yuan finally obtained the information he wanted from Long Chun.

It turned out that this place was indeed the back of the Dark Forest!

Years ago, he and Bai Guang had once investigated the edge of the Dark Forest, but the fluctuations emanating from it made it impossible for them to cross.

Thus, the idea of entering to take a look had been shelved.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, they had entered the Dark Forest in this manner.

This place was actually another space, inhabited by another group of Four Symbols families!

Even more unexpected to Ye Yuan was that this place connected not only to the lower realm but also to the Divine Fall Mountain Range in the Divine Domain.

This Divine Beast Domain was truly astonishing.

From Long Chun, Ye Yuan learned that the Divine Beast Domain connected not only to the Boundless Realm but also to many other small worlds.

The demon beasts in the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain had originally lived in the Divine Beast Domain.

However, as the various clans multiplied, the Divine Beast Domain could no longer accommodate so many members.

Thus, the demon race of the Divine Beast Domain used great divine powers to connect to the lower realm space and exiled some impure-blooded demon beasts to the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain in the lower realm.

Over countless years, the demon beasts in the outer Divine Forbidden Demon Domain had completely forgotten that they once came from the Divine Beast Domain.

They held a sense of awe toward the cultivators who emerged from the Dark Forest.

And so, the current格局 had evolved.

From Long Chun, Ye Yuan also learned that there was an extremely mysterious Ancestor in the Divine Beast Domain.

Ye Yuan was very curious about this mysterious Ancestor, but unfortunately, even Long Chun had never seen him.

In fact, Long Chun had even doubted the Ancestor's existence.

However, Long Chun said that the Peach Blossom Forest was personally laid out by the Ancestor to isolate the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

For so many years, no one had ever entered the Divine Beast Domain from the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

Yet today, Ye Yuan had crossed the Peach Blossom Forest and arrived here!

As for the origin of the Divine Beast Domain, it was no longer verifiable; even Long Chun, the young master, knew nothing about it.

But Ye Yuan felt that the Divine Beast Domain and the demon race of the Divine Domain were likely closely related!

Hearing all this, Ye Yuan and Bai Guang were deeply shocked.

They never expected that the Divine Domain held such a secret place.

It seemed that the Divine Beast Domain was also full of secrets!
