My father is the main character, but the female leads want to kill me.

“I’m at the Dragon Transformation Realm now, and you’re only at the Nirvana Realm. Old man, your strength isn’t good enough. I don’t want you anymore!” Shangguan Mengqing replied, suppressing a laugh.

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, then he quickly begged for mercy, "No, Fairy, how can I live without you!"

"You might as well give up on life!"

Lin Ran: "..."

What a ruthless fairy! Her heart must be black and grimy if it were cut out.

Just as Lin Ran was thinking about how to respond to the fairy, a strange noise suddenly rang out.

"boom!"

A loud bang suddenly exploded in everyone's ears.

Lin Ran also quickly stood up and looked around, trying to find out where the loud noise came from.

"Look at that building!"

Someone suddenly shouted this, and Lin Ran's gaze subconsciously shifted to the huge building inside the mountain wall.

The building was shaking violently, and the yellowish-brown light shield and the ground around it were also shaking. Gravel kept falling to the ground, and it seemed as if something was trying to crawl out from inside.

"Dong dong!"

A very dull sound kept resounding, and the nearby ground cracked open, with ravines being torn open by some force.

"what!"

Suddenly a sharp scream rang out, and a woman pointed at the seemingly bottomless ravine and shouted, "How can there be mist coming out of it!"

"Mist?"

Lin Ran was taken aback when she heard this.

But the next moment, he also saw wisps of dark red mist seeping out from the ravine beside him.

Upon seeing the "mist," Lin Ran knew that a familiar old friend had returned. Indeed, a secret realm without the presence of the Void Evil Clan was ultimately not perfect. As for why the secret realm of the Azure Spirit Sword Saint did not have it back then...

Please, that's a beginner's secret realm. If they give us a big gift too, wouldn't the protagonist, who hasn't even grown up yet, be gone?

"But Xiao Chong and Yue Mei are still in that space!"

Just as Lin Ran was thinking about going back to lead his men to evacuate, he stopped in his tracks. He looked at Yue Lei beside him and quickly said, "Brother Yue Lei, take my children and Shi Shuang to a safe place as soon as possible. I still need to find a way to rescue my children and apprentice!"

"Brother Lin, no problem!" Yue Lei agreed without hesitation. He patted Lin Ran on the shoulder and then quickly led his students away.

The area around the black stone tablet suddenly descended into chaos. The ravines were constantly emitting black and red mist, the ground was shaking violently, and even the earthen-yellow light shield was gradually covered with dark red patterns. The golden light on the black stone tablet had disappeared.

Only the scroll still floating above the stone tablet continues to depict the scenes within the secret realm.

Because there were eight people inside, including members of the Azure Dragon Academy, Lin Yi was at a loss as to what to do in the face of this situation.

He certainly couldn't just give up on his students like that. Putting aside the fact that there were so many people watching, if he gave up, it would definitely affect the reputation of Canglong Academy.

The Holy Maiden Gao Tianwen of the Pure Land of Spiritual Purity, along with her entourage, happened to be next to a cracked ravine. Golden light emanated from Gao Tianwen's hands, temporarily suppressing the dark red mist emanating from the ravine.

"It smells so familiar yet so awful!" Gao Tianwen couldn't help but exclaim.

A maidservant standing nearby couldn't help but ask, "Holy Maiden, should we leave this place?"

"Evacuation?!"

Gao Tianwen glanced at Shangguan Mengqing, who remained calmly seated in the distance, and a hint of comparison arose in her heart. A glint flashed in her exotic eyes, and she said softly:

"Let's check the situation here first!"

……

170. The Elite Void Hunter

Dark red miasma rose from the ravine and gradually spread outwards. Some people who were unaware of the dark red miasma even dared to approach the ravine and take a closer look at the dark red miasma.

His face then turned purple, and wisps of dark red miasma emanated from his body. A sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him, and he collapsed by the ditch.

It was only through a series of examples that some of the still confused individuals became more aware of the situation, covering their mouths and noses as they fled the area in a panic.

Those who remained present naturally understood the Void Evil Clan and possessed formidable strength, showing no fear of the Void Evil Clan's dangers.

The ground continued to tremble, and it was only a matter of time before the yellowish-brown light shield was completely covered by the dark red miasma. Strange noises came from the building, as if something was churning inside.

The only way to see inside that enormous building was through the magical scroll of the Azure Dragon Academy.

At this moment, Wen Ling's face was also ashen. He stared at Lin Chong in the painting, who was leading Fu Yuemei to escape the pursuit of the "Void Hunters," and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

He also wanted to rescue Lin Chong, but the situation was still unclear.

All we know is that this secret realm has been invaded by the Void Evil Clan, but Lin Chong and the others are obviously in another space within that building. He is not good at spatial power, nor is he good at dealing with the Void Evil Clan. So how can he fight against the Void Evil Clan to get to that space and rescue Lin Chong?

Wen Ling couldn't help but look at Lin Yi, who also had a furrowed brow. He couldn't help but ask, "Lin Yi, do you have an idea?"

Hearing Wenling's words, Linyi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "They are in another dimension, and what means do we have to get there to save them?"

"Is there a way to contact them? Could we have them try using the space token?" Wenling couldn't help but ask.

Logically speaking, this newly opened trial space has been destroyed by the Void Evil Clan, so the space token could not be used before. Now that it has been destroyed, it should be usable, right?

"no!"

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "I couldn't contact my student even using special methods, so the space token method is probably unlikely!"

Seeing Lin Yi and Wen Ling looking worried and thinking about how to save their top students, Jin Qiusheng's anger was suddenly replaced by a sense of smugness. He had been thinking about his students, but his most promising ones had fallen in the top sixteen, and then the entire Shengqiong Academy was wiped out.

This was an absolute disgrace to the Holy Sky Academy, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred. The remaining Canglong Tianli and the younger generation from the super sect's vassal forces were trapped inside, and it was only a matter of time before they were all wiped out by the Void Evil Clan.

Thinking of this, Jin Qiusheng felt extremely fortunate that his students had been eliminated early. Apart from a few seriously injured, the others were only slightly injured or exhausted. Not a single one had died. Looking at Tianli and Canglong Academy, how could Jin Qiusheng not be pleased?

Moreover, those eight guys might die inside, and then the spot to enter the super sect would be his, which would be even more joyous.

Jin Qiusheng coughed and offered a suggestion in a pretentious manner: "I think we should discuss a solution with the people from the super sects. We can't let those talented young people perish at the hands of the Void Evil Clan!"

Lin Yi and Wen Ling couldn't help but glance at Jin Qiusheng, feeling even more that this old man was really asking for a beating. Could they really command a super sect? Even if they were indeed eight talented young people, would a super sect go to such great lengths to rescue them?

Discussing it? Aren't they just asking for humiliation?

With a forced smile, Lin Yi and Wen Ling continued to look at the scroll and the building behind the black stone tablet, shrouded in light, wondering if there were any other solutions.

It wasn't just Wen Ling, Lin Yi, and Elder Heng—all affiliated forces of super sects—who were trying to find a solution; Lin Ran was also involved. For Lin Ran, it was far more difficult than for others, as his son and disciple were both in there. If anything happened to them, he would probably live with guilt for the rest of his life.

Lin Ran quickly walked to a spot not far from the light barrier. He glanced down at his hands, then stared at the eerie, dark red barrier, thinking, "I wonder if the Dragon Fist, imbued with the power of the 'Dao,' can blast a hole in this barrier..."

Although powerful experts at the Dragon Transformation Realm have already tried it, and the light barrier can block attacks from those at the Dragon Transformation Realm, those who tried it almost all held back their strength. Now that the light barrier has changed, he is going all out, using the extremely targeted martial arts of the Azure Emperor. Maybe he can really create a gap.

Lin Ran took a deep breath and assumed a fighting stance. As golden spiritual energy frantically gathered towards his clenched right fist, a clear, cold voice exploded in his mind.

"Stop, Lin Ran!"

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Ran immediately stopped gathering his spiritual energy and turned around to spot a veiled woman standing gracefully in the distance.

"My son and apprentice are still inside!" Lin Ran anxiously transmitted her voice.

"I know!"

"If we don't go in and save them, they'll be in danger!"

"I know!"

"You know the situation is critical, so why are you stopping me?"

"The energy on that shield didn't weaken; on the contrary, it was strengthened by the power of the Void Evil Clan. If you had punched it just now, the recoil would have been enough to seriously injure you and knock you to the ground if you were completely unprepared!" Shangguan Mengqing said in an icy voice.

"How could this be..." Lin Ran said, somewhat lost in thought.

"Assuming you break through the protective barrier, how will you find Xiao Chong and Yue Mei?"

"I believe you also know that they are fighting in another dimension. Are you skilled in spatial powers? Just because you have the Blooming Flowers, do you really think you can do whatever you want in that dimension?"

"You're taking action without even understanding the situation."

"Lin Ran, have you wasted all your years of experience? Answer my question!"

Shangguan Mengqing's cold words exploded in Lin Ran's mind, making her ears ring.

In those brief few seconds, he felt himself getting further and further away from the sounds and things around him, so far that he seemed to have entered a silent, colorless, and empty space, and he felt as if he were falling continuously...

"Hey, hey, Lin Ran, Lin Ran, come back, Lin Ran!"

A gentle voice, tinged with urgency, kept amplifying in Lin Ran's ears. His downward momentum was abruptly stopped, and an invisible hand pulled him back from the abyss, his soul returning to his body.

"Hoohoo!"

Lin Ran couldn't help but kneel down on one knee, clutching his chest and panting heavily. The cold sweat on his back soaked his clothes.

He shook his head, and after his consciousness returned, he couldn't help but thank the flowers residing in his spiritual sea, saying, "Flowers, thank you, otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to come back!"

"Ok!"

Fan Hua nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What Meng Qing just said was a bit sharp, but it was for your own good. You really need to assess the situation before taking action, otherwise you might get yourself into trouble. I can only guarantee that you can protect yourself in that spatial turbulence; I can't help you find people!"

"call!"

Lin Ran let out a long sigh and smiled, "I know, I don't blame anyone..."

He blamed himself. If he were stronger and knew more about spatial powers, perhaps the current problem could be solved easily.

"boom!"

Another explosion-like sound emanated from the building, followed by a tremor in the ground. This time, the earth shook violently, as if a giant hand had slammed its fist into the ground. Everyone present immediately took to the air.

Elder Heng, standing beside Shangguan Mengqing, said with concern, "This time it seems to be the commotion coming from inside that building. I hope Qingyi will be alright!"

Shangguan Mengqing didn't speak. She looked worriedly at Lin Ran, who was slowly rising into the air not far away with her head down. Seeing Lin Ran's current state, she felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart with a knife, and the pain made it hard to breathe.

She knew her words had been very harsh, but she was only trying to help Lin Ran...

"Junior sister, look there!" Huang Shishi pointed to the sky above the center of the building and said, "Something is crawling out of there!"

Shangguan Mengqing withdrew her gaze and turned it to the place Huang Shishi had mentioned.

Now, looking down at the ground from the air, they could see more clearly through the light shield that a monster was emerging from the bottom of the building.

First to appear was a dark red tentacle covered in barbs, which slammed heavily onto the top of the building. Then, a huge dark red eyeball slowly rose from the building, its pupils spinning around, revealing an extremely eerie dark yellow pupil.

A sharp, piercing sound even traveled through the light shield and into the air.

Everyone used their spiritual power to protect their ears, trying to avoid being hurt by the sharp, piercing scream.
