To snatch or not to snatch?
The cultivators present saw the golden key flying towards them, and they fell into a difficult dilemma.
“Grab it quick!”
A cultivator saw the key flying right in front of him, and in the end, he could not hold back. He reached out to take it!
But the leaders of the five major powers rushed over in an instant.
“Who dares to grab it? You are asking for death!!!”
The leading elder of the Nether Palace roared, and at the same time, he launched an attack on the cultivator who was snatching the golden key!
The Nether Palace, the God-Slaying Sect, and the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall all struck with ruthless force. They directly attacked the cultivator snatching the golden key, going for the kill without mercy.
The Twin Venerables Pavilion and the White Mist Tower used slightly milder methods. They did not go for the kill right away, but they still forced the snatcher to hand over the golden key.
This snatching caused the whole scene to fall into chaos.
Lin Yun quickly gripped the golden key still in his hand. He wanted to try activating it to see what it did.
The golden key trembled slightly. Lin Yun sensed that this key was faintly pointing him in a direction.
“An Yun, let us go!”
Lin Yun sent a voice message to An Yun through his wristband. At the same time, he burst into speed and left quickly!
As Lin Yun left, out of the four keys he had thrown, three had already been grabbed by the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall, the White Mist Tower, and the God-Slaying Sect.
One must know that there were nearly a thousand Tongtian Realm cultivators nearby. If they truly wanted to compete with the five major powers who had spread out, it was not impossible. But under the threat and violence of these five powers, no one dared to snatch any more.
As for the remaining key, a black-robed cultivator was holding it right now. He was surrounded by the Twin Venerables Pavilion and the Nether Palace.
After all, Lin Yun had thrown out four keys, while the five powers all rushed towards these four keys at once. It was inevitable that one key would be contested by two powers.
“Hand the key to our Twin Venerables Pavilion, and I will keep you safe.” The elder of the Twin Venerables Pavilion said to the cultivator holding the key in front of him.
“Hmph, if you dare to give it to the Twin Venerables Pavilion, this old man will tear you apart today!” The Nether Palace elder said with a face full of ferocity.
“This… this…”
“You lot can have it yourselves.”
This cultivator immediately threw the golden key between the Twin Venerables Pavilion and the Nether Palace. He could not afford to offend either side.
When the two elders saw this, they both raised their hands and circulated their inner energy, trying to pull the golden key towards themselves.
The elder of the Twin Venerables Pavilion was a step faster and grabbed this golden key.
“Nether Palace elder, do not be so foolish. This key belongs to our Twin Venerables Pavilion now! If you want one, go take the last one from that boy just now!” The elder of the Twin Venerables Pavilion said.
After the key landed in the hands of the Twin Venerables Pavilion elder, the Nether Palace elder could not snatch it back easily. After all, the strength of his Nether Palace team was about the same as the Twin Venerables Pavilion team. If they truly fought, the outcome was uncertain, and he had no confidence in winning.
The Nether Palace elder turned his head to look, only to find that Lin Yun had already vanished.
“Damn it, that little bastard tricked all five of our major powers!” The Nether Palace elder was so angry that his teeth itched.
After all, only his Nether Palace had not gotten a key, so he was naturally the most furious.
“Who was that boy just now? Which power does he belong to? He is simply audacious to the extreme!” The elder of the God-Slaying Sect said in a voice like a great bell.
No one spoke up. Clearly, none of them knew.
“You four powers, why did you not deal with that bastard first just now?” The Nether Palace elder asked fiercely.
“Why did not your Nether Palace deal with him first?” The elder of the Twin Venerables Pavilion sneered.
For these four powers that had obtained keys, they were not so angry. After all, the keys were already in their hands. Whether the Nether Palace got one or not had nothing to do with them.
The leading elders of these four powers also activated the keys in their hands one after another.
They too sensed the direction pointed by the golden key.
“Let us go!” The elder of the Twin Venerables Pavilion led his people away first.
The White Mist Tower followed closely behind and left, heading straight to the position indicated by the golden key.
“Elder, what do we do now?”
The members of the Nether Palace all looked towards the Nether Palace elder, feeling somewhat at a loss.
“You two elders, you cannot just leave like this!”
The Nether Palace elder quickly stepped forward and blocked the teams from the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall and the God-Slaying Sect.
“You two elders, tell me what exactly is going on. What happens when you activate the key? Our Nether Palace and you are allies, are we not?” The Nether Palace elder asked urgently.
The elder of the God-Slaying Sect said, “To tell you the truth, the key points to a direction. It seems this key can open something, perhaps a ruin or a cave abode.”
