Wild Dogs

Upon hearing this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Luo Changhe's eyes, and after a moment he shook his head slightly.

"We promised to save his life, you can't go back on your word like this."

Xiao Ling, standing to the side, was somewhat incredulous.

"So you really want to spare his life?"

Luo Changhe let out a long breath and then nodded emphatically.

Xiao Ling's eyes were like knives.

"Luo Changhe, my patience is limited. Let's deal with this kid quickly. We have other important things to do and don't have time to waste here."

Hearing this, Luo Changhe turned around and glanced at Yang Fan, who was not far from him.

At this moment, Yang Fan felt as if he had thorns in his back.

Although he has broken through to the Core Formation stage, his current combat strength is no match for Xiao Ling.

If Xiao Ling, a veteran late-stage Core Formation cultivator, were to target him with deadly intent, Yang Fan would undoubtedly die today.

For a moment, Yang Fan grinned.

"Palace Master, I haven't done anything to wrong you."

He stared intently at Xiao Ling.

He understood why Xiao Ling was so determined to get rid of him; it was simply because Yang Fan knew far too much.

If Yang Fan were to reveal this, she would be utterly disgraced.

Not only Luo Changhe and her daughter were present, but also other prominent figures from the surrounding area.

Once this news gets out, even if she kills Yang Fan, it will be difficult to salvage her reputation.

Therefore, she was determined to get rid of Yang Fan no matter what.

She stared intently at Yang Fan, slowly raising her hand. She was ready to strike if Luo Changhe dared to protect her.

Just then, Luo Changhe took a deep breath.

"Let's go in first anyway, at least we can find what's inside before we start making our move."

"Can't we just keep him here for a while?"

Luo Changhe spoke earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling hesitated for a long time before nodding.

"Alright, but now add a few more restrictions to his body, you absolutely cannot let this kid escape."

"Once he's inside, if things go wrong, you must kill him."

"Once we get what we want, we have to kill him right away, or I'll never forgive you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Changhe made up his mind and nodded.

"No problem."

He then raised his hand and waved it over Yang Fan, before chanting an incantation and beginning to cast a spell.

Yang Fan was greatly shocked, but he had no choice but to accept his fate in the face of Luo Changhe.

Any goodwill she had towards Luo Changhe vanished without a trace.

Unexpectedly, the curse mark that Yang Fan had anticipated did not fall on his body after a short while.

At the same time, the trace of the curse mark within his body slowly dissipated.

Yang Fan stared at Luo Changhe in disbelief.

At this moment, Luo Changhe had his back to Xiao Ling. He simply raised a finger to his lips as a shushing gesture, and then transmitted his voice to Yang Fan.

"Be careful, don't let her find out."

He lowered his voice.

"I will open the door to the Heavenly Secrets Platform in a while, and then I will find a way to send you to the top of the Heavenly Secrets Platform."

"When the time comes, you will take Tian Shu and drip blood to signify your master at the top. As long as you can control Tian Shu, you will be able to obtain the various unique skills inherited from Tianji Palace."

"There will be a teleportation array at the very top of the Heavenly Mystery Platform. Activate the teleportation array to leave this place."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan was deeply shocked. He didn't know why Luo Changhe would make this promise.

Seeing Yang Fan's confusion, Luo Changhe continued to transmit his voice.

"There's nothing I can do. After all these years, you're the only person who has ever shown me any respect."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan immediately realized what was going on.

Yes, during the time he was imprisoned in the Hundred Flowers Palace, he would respectfully bow to Luo Changhe whenever he saw him.

For Luo Changhe, he was a doormat in the Hundred Flowers Palace, and even the maids looked down on him.

Even though he was a Core Formation cultivator, he dared not lose his temper. The reason was simple: if he dared to get angry at those mediocre maids, his wife would turn around and suppress him.

Therefore, Luo Changhe always felt particularly aggrieved, while only Yang Fan held him in high esteem.

More importantly, he wasn't a bad person at heart, and he felt quite sorry for Yang Fan being trapped here.

Therefore, he would do everything he could to let Yang Fan go.

After thinking it through, a complex expression appeared on Yang Fan's face.

Immediately, Luo Changhe took a deep breath.

"Alright, don't think too much about it. Just stay here quietly and wait. I'll send you away when the time is right."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan nodded obediently.

A moment later, Luo Changhe led Yang Fan to the gate at the bottom of the Heavenly Mystery Platform.

There was also a barrier surrounding the gate, making it difficult to enter under normal circumstances.

However, Luo Changhe seemed to know the situation perfectly. He patiently tapped the barrier several times, then set up several array flags to break the barrier with an array, thus removing it.

Seeing how familiar Luo Changhe was with the situation, Xiao Ling's expression became even more unpleasant.

"What's going on? How do you know how to break the restrictions here?"

Luo Changhe laughed.

"I saw this in an ancient book."

"Ancient books? What ancient books? I don't know anything about them."

Luo Changhe smiled gently.

"This ancient book is not in the Hundred Flowers Palace; I discovered it while traveling the world."

"Alright, let's continue."

As he spoke, Luo Changhe pushed open the door, and a creaking sound immediately followed.

Then Luo Changhe escorted Yang Fan inside.

Seeing that Luo Changhe was protecting her, Xiao Ling knew she couldn't do it for the time being. She waved her hand and led Xiao Baihua and Gan Lu inside.

Meanwhile, many other forces outside the restrictions were furious at the sight.

"Damn it, what's going on with this kid? How did they get inside the Heavenly Secrets Platform?"

Upon entering the Heavenly Mystery Platform, Yang Fan was so astonished by the scene before him that he was speechless.

The interior of the Heavenly Mystery Platform is much larger than it appears from the outside. Clearly, the interior of the Heavenly Mystery Platform was constructed using some kind of "mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru" technique, which forcibly expanded the space.

However, what shocked Yang Fan the most at this moment was the very center of the Heavenly Secret Platform.

On an altar stood a tall scale.

Above the scales, an old man was flying in mid-air with his eyes closed, resting. This old man was clearly a phantom, probably a projection left over from many years ago.

After the group approached, the old man slowly opened his eyes, stretched, and looked ahead curiously.

"Oh, I never thought that after so many years, someone would still be able to break into this place. It's truly remarkable."

The old man then looked at them with a smile, and then his gaze stopped.

After glancing at Luo Changhe, he laughed again.

"Hmm, I smell a familiar scent on you. It seems you have some connection with that kid from before."

Upon hearing this, Luo Changhe smiled slightly.

"Yes, young man, you do have some connection with that senior."
