Lin Yun frowned. “Enough, don’t bring this up again. If you want to do this, you can part ways with me. You two can carry out your plan. If you follow me, you must abide by my principles.”
This was the third time the two had raised this matter with Lin Yun.
They wanted to rely on Lin Yun’s strength in the Tongtian Realm to rob and kill other teams. After all, in a place without legal constraints, like the Border Mountains, most people would choose profit over humanity.
For teams that actively tried to rob him, Lin Yun could eliminate them. However, he could not bring himself to proactively attack and rob other teams without cause.
“This…” The two teammates gave awkward laughs.
Without Lin Yun, how could they, on their own, have the ability to rob other teams? Even self-preservation would be difficult for them.
“Hm? There’s movement over there. Let’s go check it out.” Lin Yun’s words fell, and he immediately quickened his pace.
His two teammates quickly followed.
…
In a distant valley.
Two Tongtian Realm teams were engaged in fierce combat.
Among them was someone Lin Yun knew.
It was Wu Chengtian!
“Brother Wu Chengtian, their team is stronger than ours. If we keep fighting like this, we’ll be in trouble. Let’s find a way to retreat!” one Tongtian Realm fighter shouted to Wu Chengtian while battling.
“Alright, let’s fight and retreat, find a way to withdraw!” Wu Chengtian gritted his teeth.
His teammates nodded, attempting to pull back.
“You think you can escape unscathed today? That’s too naive. If you don’t hand over the magic crystals, you won’t leave!” a monkey-faced man from the opposing team said sharply.
The monkey-faced man’s team had six members, while Wu Chengtian’s had four, a clear numerical disadvantage. Both teams had first- and second-level Tongtian Realm fighters, but the monkey-faced man’s side held the upper hand.
“Hmph, even if your team is stronger, if we fight to the death, you won’t come out unscathed!” Wu Chengtian’s eyes blazed with anger.
“We don’t want a fight to the death. Just hand over the magic crystals. If you insist on fighting to the death for them, one thing is certain: you’ll pay the greater price!” the monkey-faced man said with a menacing grin.
“Tch, quite a lively fight here!”
As the two sides argued fiercely, a voice rang out.
“Who’s there!”
Both teams turned their heads in unison.
Another team approached from the distance, consisting of four members.
Among them was a black-robed Tongtian Realm fighter. If Lin Yun were here, he would recognise him instantly.
When Lin Yun had saved the Yuqing sisters and killed the bald man who robbed them, this black-robed Tongtian Realm fighter appeared on the way down the mountain. Claiming to be the bald man’s brother, he sought revenge.
At that time, Lin Yun was no match for a Tongtian Realm opponent and could only signal Wu Chengtian for help.
While waiting for Wu Chengtian, Lin Yun endured the black-robed fighter’s attacks, getting injured and spitting blood, nearly dying until Wu Chengtian arrived to resolve the crisis.
“You four, you wouldn’t be planning to interfere, would you?” the monkey-faced man asked, eyeing the black-robed fighter’s group warily.
With this new team’s arrival, the scene now involved three teams. Whichever side the black-robed fighter’s team chose to ally with, the other would face serious trouble.
The black-robed fighter didn’t answer directly. Instead, he looked at Wu Chengtian and smirked. “Wu Chengtian, last time I sought revenge for my brother and tried to kill that Lin Yun, you meddled. Meddling comes at a cost. I told you then, Iād remember you. Don’t cross me again.”
