898: Chapter 887 A Storm is Brewing!

Huang Jiuli nodded and did not ask further.

She had fought side-by-side with Qin Yan so many times and knew deeply that he was never one to boast.

Since he said "No problem," he must have sufficient confidence.

Moreover, this was a rare opportunity for her.

She could just use this battle to take a good look at exactly how much Qin Yan had grown during those two months in the Temple of Time.

Afterward, the two of them found dozens of local Yao Race and humans within the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts.

After some "kind and friendly" greetings, these local natives tearfully agreed to the request of helping the two adults spread the news.

Soon, across this land in the Eastern Region, a piece of news spread rapidly like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake.

"Breaking news, breaking news—the outsider Qin Yan will personally visit the Vajra Temple in four days!"

In the taverns and teahouses on every street corner, there was talk of this news everywhere.

"Damn it, it's these otherworldly demons again. Killing two Beast Kings of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts wasn't enough, and now they dare to openly provoke the Vajra Temple."

"This Qin Yan, with merely a Grandmaster Middle Stage cultivation, actually dares to threaten to go to the Vajra Temple to challenge Buddha Son Jin Chan. He truly has commendable courage. I will definitely go watch the battle in person to see how he is 'delivered' by Lord Buddha Son."

"..."

The Martial Artists throughout the streets were passionately discussing this news.

Even quite a few Loose Cultivators with not-low cultivation had already set off in advance, converging toward the direction of the Vajra Temple from every corner of the Eastern Region.

At this time, inside the Vajra Temple.

In the Great Hero Hall, a group of high-level members of the Vajra Temple gathered together.

"This Qin Yan is simply arrogant to the extreme; he actually dares to openly declare war on our Vajra Temple!"

A Grandmaster of the Vajra Temple with the dharma name Grandmaster Jinxuan said angrily; he was one of the three current Grandmasters of the Vajra Temple.

"Indeed, this brat is arrogant and clearly does not hold our Vajra Temple in his eyes."

"Abbot, Buddha Son, when the time comes, you must execute this otherworldly demon on the spot to uphold the prestige of our Vajra Temple."

The Elders below echoed him with righteous indignation.

"Everyone, be quiet." Abbot of the Vajra Temple, Zen Master Shikong, spoke slowly. His voice was not loud, but it carried a calm power that made people involuntarily quiet down.

He was an old monk with white eyebrows and beard, his face kind yet majestic, and his body radiated a pale golden Buddha light.

Zen Master Shikong turned his gaze toward the young monk who had been silent: "Jin Chan, what is your take on this matter?"

Currently, in the entire Vajra Temple, the strongest person was not him, the Abbot, nor the Grandmaster Grandmaster Jinxuan, but the young Buddha Son before him.

Jin Chan pondered for a moment and slowly said: "Abbot, if this Disciple's prediction is correct, this Qin Yan is the outsider who killed the Green Bull Demon and the White-Toothed Elephant King with a single sentence in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts. This person's strength is extremely formidable; even if this Disciple takes action personally, the outcome is likely only a six-to-four split."

Once these words were spoken, the entire Great Hero Hall was filled with the sound of gasping.

The Elders of the Vajra Temple looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Their Buddha Son, Jin Chan, was the Child of Destiny blessed by the Origin of the Cangwu Small World; since stepping into the Grandmaster Realm, he had been invincible and had never met an opponent.

Now, even he said he only had a sixty percent chance of winning.

Just how strong had that otherworldly demon named Qin Yan become?

"Elders, there is no need to be overly worried. For the next few days, this Disciple will go to the Vajra Pavilion for closed-door cultivation to fully comprehend the Arhat Heaven-Turning Seal. Once this Martial Skill reaches Major Achievement, that Qin Yan will be nothing to fear."

Jin Chan pressed his palms together, his tone full of certainty.

"Jin Chan, feel free to Cultivate in seclusion; whatever resources you need, just go to the temple's treasury and take them."

Abbot Zen Master Shikong said without hesitation.

The resources of the entire Vajra Temple could be used by Jin Chan alone at this moment.

Jin Chan nodded slightly, then changed the subject: "However, to ensure nothing goes wrong, Abbot, this Disciple thinks we still need to invite some outside help. As far as this Disciple knows, the frequency of otherworldly demons appearing during this period is much higher than before, and this Qin Yan seems to have another otherworldly demon accompanying him. This Disciple is worried that the woman named Huang Jiuli also possesses formidable strength, which might lead to variables."

Afterward, the high-level members of the Vajra Temple discussed for another full half-hour before ending this emergency meeting.

Somewhere in the Eastern Region.

"A good show is about to begin. Qin Yan, I want to see just how much you have progressed during this time."

Jiang Yunyan stood alone on a giant rock at the peak of a desolate mountain, whispering while looking in the direction of the Vajra Temple.

The qualification to explore this Cangwu Small World was not limited to East Courtyard Disciples, but was open to outstanding Disciples of all four courtyards of the Taixuan Holy Land.

Back during the Inner Court assessment, Jiang Yunyan, Su Qingwan, and Lin Ruoxi were in the same team, and ultimately, with a top-ten team contribution score, successfully obtained the qualification to enter the Cangwu Small World.

He still remembered that scene in the City Lord's Mansion of Qingyun City where Qin Yan suppressed him head-on with a single move.

That defeat was like a thorn deeply embedded in his heart, constantly reminding him of the gap between him and the others.

During this period, he had Cultivated harder than anyone else, and now his strength had reached the Grandmaster Middle Stage.

Right now was an excellent opportunity.

He could see with his own eyes what level that guy had reached now.

Afterward, Jiang Yunyan and a fellow North Courtyard Disciple turned into streaks of light and sped off toward the Vajra Temple.

"Qin Yan is also in the Eastern Region?"

Zhao Wuji was slightly stunned after hearing this news.

His impression of Qin Yan was still stuck at that elimination match in the silver space of Wan Jian Peak.

At that time, although Qin Yan had defeated him, the win was not easy, and the gap between the two was still within a visible range.

However, during this period, the news about Qin Yan had been more shocking one after another.

Condensing Supreme-grade Spear Intent, defeating a Diluo Valley Prodigy, and being exceptionally sent by the Holy Land to the Temple of Time to Cultivate.

Now, he wanted to see with his own eyes just how far this opponent, who had fought him to a standstill, had come.

Zhao Wuji did not hesitate and immediately changed direction to rush toward the Vajra Temple.

It was not just Jiang Yunyan and Zhao Wuji; quite a few Holy Land Disciples who happened to be active in the Eastern Region made the same choice after hearing this news.

Qin Yan—this name was not unfamiliar to them.

From the Outer Court assessment to the Inner Court promotion, from the head-on duel with a Diluo Valley Prodigy to killing a Grandmaster in the Guhen Kingdom, Qin Yan's deeds had long been widely spread among the Holy Land Disciples.

However, they never expected that he would actually openly declare war on a local hegemon-level power in such a straightforward manner.
