These five major forces sharing the benefits meant that if they tried to intervene, they would likely face attacks from all five forces. They indeed had to weigh their options carefully.
“Listen, all you cultivators present. Whoever dares to compete for the keys will be asking for trouble. You had best know your place!” The elder from the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall said in a loud voice that echoed through the entire valley.
This statement made the faces of the cultivators from the various teams on site even more unsightly.
“What are we to do now?”
“Forget it. I cannot afford to provoke them. I will leave first.”
Some individual cultivators chose to depart directly.
Of course, most teams and cultivators opted to stay and observe for now. After all, as long as they did not act first, these forces would not easily attack them.
They were also thinking that if a ruin opened up, they might all get to enter. It was possible.
“Young Master, what shall we do?” An Yun looked at Lin Yun.
They now had to consider this issue as well.
If they fought to seize one, what consequences would there be?
Lin Yun smiled faintly, “Of course we must compete for one. Do they think they can easily take the keys by relying on their forces’ deterrent power? It will not be that simple!”
Though Lin Yun did not know what the keys on those five black stone pillars ahead were for.
But this Fallen Land was special to begin with, and now such a disturbance had occurred in its central area.
Lin Yun felt that those five keys were definitely extraordinary.
To give up just because of a bit of intimidation was obviously impossible for Lin Yun.
Venturing through the jianghu without some daring, fearing this and that, meant nothing could be accomplished.
Of course, Lin Yun dared to act this way because he had calculated it in his mind and had some confidence.
In terms of strength, Lin Yun now feared no one even against the ‘Moulding Dao Realm’ in the Virtual Dao Realm.
Moreover, An Yun beside him was at the second realm of the Virtual Dao Realm, ‘Merging Dao’.
While the elders leading those five forces were basically all at the Moulding Dao Realm.
The others on site were afraid, not just because of the strength of the five forces’ teams themselves, but more so due to the deterrent power of those five forces. Otherwise, nearly a thousand third-level Tongtian Realm cultivators uniting would not be so easy to deal with.
A few hours later.
The light barrier ahead completely dissipated.
“Charge!”
Almost the instant the light barrier vanished, Lin Yun turned into an afterimage and dashed forward, straight towards the five stone pillars.
One must know that on site, apart from the five major forces, the other nearly thousand people were mainly observers and did not dare to act rashly.
And those five major forces had already acquiesced to the allocation, so they did not seem particularly urgent.
Because of this, Lin Yun became the first person in the entire field to charge out.
“Look quickly, who is that fellow? He dares to rush up and grab right in front of the five major forces?”
“His aura is only at the third level of the Tongtian Realm. He… his courage is too great!”
Exclamations rose on site as everyone looked at Lin Yun ahead with incredulous gazes.
After all, the five major forces had already reached an agreement, and the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall elder had issued a warning to the whole field. Under such circumstances, daring to rush up and seize was not openly opposing the five great forces?
How much courage did that take!
“To think there is truly a blind fool! How dare he rob right in front of us five major forces!” A chill surged in the eyes of the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall elder.
“He is simply courting death!” The elder leading the Nether Palace also flared with anger.
The people from these five great forces also quickly charged out, heading straight for the five stone pillars ahead.
However, by the time they charged out, Lin Yun had already arrived.
As the first person in the entire field to rush out, Lin Yun was naturally the first to reach the stone pillars!
Whoosh!
Lin Yun waved his hand and directly took all five golden keys.
In past treasure contests, Lin Yun would observe first and not rush to act, but this time was different.
After all, Lin Yun knew that the five major forces had already defaulted on the allocation rules. If he was late, it would be hard to seize one. He had to take the initiative.
Lin Yun had not let An Yun charge over with him either, but had her stay in place to observe first.
With the five keys in hand, Lin Yun looked up and saw that the five forces were already speeding towards him.
“You bastard, what great audacity! You dare to take all five keys!”
The elders from the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall and Nether Palace were already cursing in rage, while urging their attacks towards Lin Yun!
“Go!”
Lin Yun immediately waved his hand, hurling four of the keys forcefully into the distance, towards four different directions.
Lin Yun knew well in his heart that he could not possibly keep all five keys at once, or he would become the target of the entire field!
By throwing out four keys, he could also make the five major forces charging over quickly change their targets and directions.
Sure enough, after Lin Yun threw out these four keys, the five major forces immediately turned directions, rushing to seize those four keys instead of charging at Lin Yun.
Clearly, for them, seizing the keys was more important!
The four keys flew towards four different directions, where large groups of observing teams stood. Seeing the keys fly towards them, their eyes naturally burned with eagerness.
