Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 696 - 716: Exposing the True Identity

As for the punch from the middle-aged man, the elder merely deflected it lightly, and it wasn't clear how he moved before the middle-aged man was sent swiftly flying and fell to the ground, struggling to get up for a while.

Shocking! Absolutely shocking! The elder's strength was unexpectedly formidable, a fact that caught everyone off guard; with one casual move, he had beaten the middle-aged man of the Ghost Race, who was nearly at the strength of a Ghost General, half to death.

In an instant, no one dared to underestimate the elder anymore. Originally, some even considered stealing his possessions, but now that idea was abandoned—such an action would clearly be courting death, for this man had at least reached the Ninth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm.

However, on reflection, it became clear; if precious items are laid out for sale so boldly, there must be formidable strength behind it. Only those without insight would entertain such thoughts.

Ouyang Hong's heart was shaken again and again. At this point, he truly understood the prowess of the Netherworld experts that Chu Linfeng mentioned; with his current strength, he was indeed hard-pressed to establish himself here.

"No, I must follow this elder; perhaps following him could swiftly enhance my abilities, and even if not, I could at least remain safe for a period," Ouyang Hong murmured to himself. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Seems no one is buying the old man's wares today. If that's the case, I won't sell today. For any interested friends, come back in half a month, I'll return then," said the elder, and with that, the three items in front of him suddenly vanished without any apparent movement.

The elder then disappeared from his original position and appeared among the crowd in front of Ouyang Hong, saying, "Young man, I know you have many questions; follow me!"

The middle-aged man from the Ghost Race on the ground was now struggling to get up, saying, "Old bastard, wait to die in half a month!" He left the crowd in anger, but everyone knew he was merely speaking out of frustration.

The strength of such a powerful figure can't be matched by someone with Ghost General-level power; even a typical Ghost King wouldn't necessarily be his opponent, let alone here in Beast King City instead of Black Spirit City—who would dare be so reckless?

Ouyang Hong, full of surprise, asked the elder, "Are you talking to me, sir?" Clearly, he felt he must have misheard.

The elder didn't speak, merely nodded, and then his entire figure appeared dozens of meters away, much like Chu Lin's Instant Teleportation—a mysterious move indeed. If Chu Lin were here, he would surely be astonished, as the elder was indeed using Instant Teleportation.

Ouyang Hong wasn't a fool; such an opportunity was indeed rare, so he hurriedly followed, quickly disappearing with the elder under the envious, amazed gazes of the crowd.

Leaving Beast King City, the elder flew straight into the air. Though not very fast, Ouyang Hong barely managed to follow. After about an hour, they arrived over a valley, and the elder descended directly from the sky to the ground.

"Young man, you must be wondering why I want you to follow me!" The elder finally spoke after the silent journey.

"Indeed, I don't understand the senior's intentions in summoning me here. Please enlighten me; with your strength, surely there's nothing you need my help with, which leaves me quite puzzled," Ouyang Hong promptly asked.

"Follow me, don't worry, I mean you no harm, not everyone can enter this place," said the elder, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible Teleportation Gate appeared in front of Ouyang Hong.

This wondrous scene might be Ouyang Hong's first encounter with such, knowing that this time he really encountered an incredible adventure, his strength might likely be rapidly enhanced, soon even Chu Linfeng wouldn't be his match, and he definitely should show him up.

Then the two entered the Teleportation Gate, and with a pull of power, Ouyang Hong arrived at a place filled with birdsong and fragrance, though lacking green plants. However, some flowers could bloom in green hues.

After surveying the surroundings, Ouyang Hong found it indeed to be a secluded paradise, with a quaint thatched cottage, a pavilion, and a pond covering several dozen acres, filled with many colorful fish swimming joyfully.

The elder led Ouyang Hong to the pavilion to sit, when the cottage door suddenly opened, and a young girl ran out, quickly approaching the elder after seeing him.

"Grandpa, you're back!" Upon seeing Ouyang Hong beside the elder, she immediately closed her mouth, quietly observing him.

Ouyang Hong also observed her; her appearance was very pretty, her eyes very bright, as if they could speak, giving her a very cordial aura.

The girl's face turned red immediately, perhaps because Ouyang Hong was staring at her, causing her to turn her face to the side hurriedly.

"Qin'er, you should head back to your room first, I have some things to discuss with this gentleman!" The elder then said to the girl, his face showing a benevolent smile.

The girl nodded before leaving, while Ouyang Hong thought, "So the girl's name is Qin'er, such a nice name."

"Are you curious why I brought you here?" The elder asked Ouyang Hong at this point.

"Indeed very curious, please enlighten me, senior!" Ouyang Hong replied respectfully, having asked previously but received no answer.

"You're from Canglan Ancient Land, aren't you? Don't be surprised, I have my reasons for saying so, yours is a very particular identity, the Netherworld is truly unsuitable for you; why have you come here?" the elder asked.

These words struck Ouyang Hong like a thunderbolt on a clear day; it was indeed surprising. Uncertain how to reply, but seeing that the elder didn't seem malicious, he pondered before saying, "Why does the senior say this, how can you tell?"

Ouyang Hong didn't give a direct answer since he was unclear about the elder's motives; if the elder wished to bring them to Canglan Ancient Land, he couldn't fulfill such a thing, requiring cautious speech.

"You carry the aura of a Holy Beast, if I'm correct, it should be the White Tiger! At least three others came with you, so tell me, where are they now?" the elder smiled and said.

"How do you know there are three of us? Senior, who exactly are you? It seems we haven't encountered you before!" At this point, Ouyang Hong was unable to remain calm; this old man was simply divine, compelling him to gain clarity, lest he intends to harm Lin Ruoxi and Chu Linfeng, which bodes nothing good.

"The entrance to the Netherworld has been sealed for ten thousand years, in which no one from Canglan Ancient Land appeared; you possess a faint aura of Star Power, weak yet detectable by me.

Of course, only a very few among the Human Race can perceive this aura, so worry not about your friends' identities being exposed. Since you've arrived here, certain that there are additional three others appearing here; perhaps more, but I believe even so no more than six individuals could arrive here, as the teleportation entrance only sends six persons at a time," the elder said…
