I, the Chaotic Being, began my path to enlightenment in a brothel!

"Senior Brother Zhang has been eliminated!"

Shi Bing's voice betrayed her anxiety: "What exactly happened inside the hall?"

This prodigy, the number one inner disciple of the Hundred Refinements Sect, was burdened with the high hopes of Elder Qi and the sect leader. He had just entered the core battle group when he was completely eliminated.

Ji Tianpeng and Situ Kuang's expressions became extremely solemn.

Lin Feng looked up at the Cangxuan Ancient Palace and saw that the battle inside had not stopped, but was becoming even more intense.

One after another, the thick palace walls collapsed with a deafening roar during the battle.

Not long after, several blood-stained figures shot out from inside the hall.

They were all dressed in the robes of the Hundred Refinements Sect, and Li Liu was among them.

Li Liu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, but the lingering fear in her eyes remained.

Lin Feng immediately led his men forward to greet them. Upon seeing their own strong reinforcements, Li Liu and the others managed to calm themselves down and reveal the truth inside the hall.

It turned out that they had encountered Zhang Lingfeng not long after entering the secret realm.

Led by the top prodigy of the inner sect, the group charged ahead and arrived at the Cangxuan Ancient Palace first.

Unfortunately, the top prodigies from each sect also arrived at the same time to explore the opportunities within the ancient palace.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, someone discovered the Void Stone, and a great battle instantly broke out.

Among the six prodigies, Zhang Lingfeng's cultivation was the weakest, and he immediately became the target of everyone's criticism.

He was attacked by five people, but was ultimately no match for them and was seriously injured. He had no choice but to crush the silver ring to save his life and leave the scene.

Li Liu and the others, due to their low cultivation levels, were not targeted by Cheng Xu and his group, and thus managed to escape by sheer luck.

"Senior Sister Shi, Cheng Xu and his gang are terrifying!"

Li Liu's face was deathly pale, and her voice still trembled slightly.

Cheng Xu, Chu Tiange, and their ilk are all incredibly powerful, each possessing cultivation at the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Senior Brother Zhang could hardly defeat one person in a one-on-one fight, let alone one against five. His defeat was already inevitable.

"With Senior Brother Zhang eliminated, it seems our Hundred Refinements Sect has completely lost its hope this time."

"Yes! All of the hundred or so Hidden Dragon Tokens that Senior Brother Zhang had were divided up by them."

"Senior Sister Shi, let's escape quickly! Let's get away from this place of trouble."

"If we wait until they seize the opportunity and come out to settle scores, we won't be able to keep the Hidden Dragon Token we possess!"

"If we don't leave now, we'll miss our chance!"

The other disciples echoed this sentiment, their faces all deathly pale.

They could barely keep their balance and could only support each other to stand.

Shi Bing frowned deeply, his gaze extremely serious. He turned to the crowd and asked, "How many Hidden Dragon Tokens do you each possess?"

She counted them herself first, and said in a deep voice, "I have thirty-four here."

Situ Kuang replied in a low voice, "My harvest is not as good as Senior Sister Shi's; I only got seventeen."

Li Liu and the others quickly counted and summarized the items, and found that they had less than a hundred Hidden Dragon Tokens in total.

"With less than a hundred medals, we have no chance of winning first place in the six sects, no matter what."

Shi Bing shook his head with a wry smile, then, as if remembering something, looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Junior Brother Lin, how many Hidden Dragon Tokens do you have?"

"Not many, less than five hundred."

Lin Feng answered casually, his tone flat and indifferent.

"Five hundred? Then the hope of my Hundred Refinements Sect..."

Shi Bing first sighed sadly, then suddenly widened her beautiful eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "How much did you say?!"

Lin Feng sent out a wisp of his divine sense to probe the silver ring, and after a moment replied calmly, "To be precise, it is four hundred and sixty-three."

"hiss--"

The field fell silent for a moment, then a collective gasp filled the air.

"Four hundred and sixty-three? Junior Brother Lin, are you kidding me?"

"The six sects buried nearly a thousand Hidden Dragon Tokens in total, and Junior Brother Lin alone possessed almost half of them?"

"How is this possible!"

"So, all we need to do is find a place to hide, and we can easily secure first place among the six sects?"

A storm raged through the crowd, and murmurs of discussion rose and fell.

Upon hearing this, Shi Bing quickly advised, "Junior Brother Lin, listen to my advice, you must never step into the Cangxuan Ancient Palace again."

"The ancient palace is now a battleground for the top geniuses of each sect. If you make even the slightest mistake, these Hidden Dragon Tokens will belong to someone else!"

Situ Kuang also looked worried and echoed his advice.

In his view, if Lin Feng were to retreat at this moment, the Hundred Refinements Sect would be able to secure first place, and he would also be able to benefit from it and reach the top.

However, if one rashly enters the ancient palace, a slight mistake could lead to complete failure and all previous efforts being wasted.

Lin Feng simply smiled slightly, his tone resolute: "Don't worry! If I enter the palace, I am absolutely certain I can escape unscathed."

Situ Kuang hesitated for a moment, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face, and said, "Brother Lin, why don't you hand over the Hidden Dragon Token to us first, and then enter the ancient hall?"

"Even if something happens to you, the Hundred Refinements Sect will still be able to retain its number one position."

Shi Bing glanced at Situ Kuang sideways, then suddenly raised her hand, and a crisp "slap" sound rang out.

"Senior sister, why did you hit me?" Situ Kuang covered his face, looking completely puzzled.

"I think you're daydreaming. I'm just waking you up. Are you awake now?"

Shi Bing spoke coldly, glancing at him sideways.

Situ Kuang's face turned pale and then red, and he covered his face, no longer daring to argue.

"Since Junior Brother Lin is determined to venture into the Cangxuan Ancient Palace, I will go with you!"

Shi Bing suddenly spoke, her tone firm.

"Are you going too?"

Lin Feng looked at her in surprise, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

The battle inside the Cangxuan Ancient Palace has reached a fever pitch; any rational person should know when to back down.

He dared to take risks because he had absolute confidence in his own abilities.

"Junior Brother Lin."

Shi Bing looked at Lin Feng, smiled slightly, and said sincerely, "I am so grateful for your help along the way, which has enabled me to get to where I am today."

"Now that you wish to seize the opportunity in the ancient temple, as your senior sister, I should naturally lend you a hand."

"Even if I am unfortunately eliminated, as long as I protect Junior Brother Lin, my Hundred Refinements Sect can still secure first place."

Ji Tianpeng immediately echoed, saying in a deep voice, "Senior Sister Shi is absolutely right! With Senior Brother Zhang eliminated, Junior Brother Lin is the hope of the entire sect!"

"Since he insists on entering the palace, we will protect him with our lives!"

Situ Kuang hesitated for a moment. Although he was still timid, he still spoke weakly: "Count me in! Although I am not very capable and cannot be of great help, I will definitely not hold you back."

Li Liu and the other disciples also spoke up, expressing their willingness to enter the hall with Lin Feng.

They stated frankly that if Lin Feng were in danger, they would be willing to use their bodies to shield him and buy him a chance to escape.

Lin Feng stood still, his face calm and expressionless, but a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Back in the Qingyun Sect, he was betrayed and abandoned, experiencing the coldness and warmth of human relationships.

Therefore, after arriving at the Hundred Refinements Sect, he deliberately distanced himself from everyone and maintained an aura that kept strangers at bay.

But now he discovers that his fellow disciples in the Hundred Refinements Sect are not as cold-hearted as they seem.

Elder Qi had high hopes for him.

Shi Bingming will always remember his kindness.

Li Liu and others are willing to do their utmost to help.

Even Situ Kuang, his former adversary, was able to prioritize when faced with the bigger picture.

"Junior Brother Lin, what do you think?"

Shi Bing asked cautiously, afraid that Lin Feng would refuse and not give her a chance to repay his kindness.

All eyes were focused on Lin Feng, waiting quietly for his response.

"Of course!"

Lin Feng nodded slightly, took a big step forward, and his loud laughter resounded throughout the world.

"If you choose to leave, I will not force you, but you will miss an opportunity."

"Since you trust me and are willing to stay by my side..."

"I will lead you through a bloody path, sweeping away the five sects, and letting the world know—"

"Our Hundred Refinements Sect is invincible!"

"Gentlemen, follow me—to battle!"

Behind him, Shi Bing, Situ Kuang, Ji Tianpeng and others felt their blood surging and roared in unison.

"war!"

"war!"

"war!"
