“Then take me with you. That boy from before will definitely go there too. When the time comes, this old man can settle the score with him!” The Nether Palace elder said. By the end, his face was already showing a fierce light.
“Take you along? What benefit is there for us in that?” The leading elder of the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall laughed.
The God-Slaying Sect and the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall were both opportunistic types who never acted without gain.
Even though there was some alliance between them, such a relationship was not particularly solid in normal times.
Without any benefit, they would certainly not help for nothing.
“Of course there is benefit. If the golden key can ultimately open a ruin or cave abode in the end, then once inside, there will surely be competition over whatever is there. If our Nether Palace can also enter, then our three factions can join forces to deal with the Twin Venerables Pavilion and the White Mist Tower. In that way, our three factions’ chances of success will naturally be extremely high!” The Nether Palace elder said.
The Nether Palace elder continued, “Otherwise, if it is just the two of you against the Twin Venerables Pavilion and the White Mist Tower, then the outcome would be uncertain. No one would gain any advantage. Our Nether Palace team can break this balance!”
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall elder and the God-Slaying Sect elder both nodded.
They knew in their hearts that what the Nether Palace elder said was not without reason.
Without the Nether Palace, it might very well be two against two. With the Nether Palace, it would be three against two. That was indeed a great benefit for them.
If there truly was a ruin or cave abode, once they entered, their three factions could hold the advantage.
“For the sake of our alliance with the Nether Palace, come along with us then.” The Heavenly Fire Divine Hall elder said.
After discussing it, the teams from the God-Slaying Sect and the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall sped off towards the front.
“Let us go!”
The Nether Palace elder led his team and quickly followed.
…
On the other side.
Lin Yun brought An Yun along as they hurried forward.
“Young master, you certainly have your ways. You successfully diverted their targets and obtained the golden key without a fight.” An Yun smiled in admiration.
“Just a bit of small cleverness, nothing worth mentioning.” Lin Yun shook his head with a smile.
“But seeing these enemies, I can only endure it.” An Yun sighed with emotion.
For An Yun, whether it was the Nether Palace or the nearby Heavenly Fire Divine Hall team and God-Slaying Sect, they were all factions that had participated in the destruction of the Wuji Heavenly Palace back then. An Yun naturally hated them to the bone.
But over these years, An Yun had grown accustomed to enduring. After all, it was not easy for the Wuji Heavenly Palace to preserve its ember. If they did not endure, the Wuji Heavenly Palace would not even have its last ember left.
Normally, An Yun and the others would keep as far away as possible from people of the Nether Palace, Heavenly Fire Divine Hall, God-Slaying Sect, and such factions. They rarely created direct friction with them like Lin Yun had just done.
“They will not discover our identities either, so relax.” Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun continued, “By the way, An Yun, according to my sensing, the position that this golden key is pointing to is inside the Fallen Land. But it is quite a distance from here. I am considering whether to go there now.”
According to Lin Yun’s guess, the positions pointed to by the other four keys should be the same as the position of his own key.
So, the factions that obtained the other four golden keys would surely also sense the position indicated by the golden key.
They were probably already on their way now, heading towards the position indicated by the key.
When the time came, Lin Yun would run into them.
If they decided to attack Lin Yun, he had to consider this issue.
Lin Yun was definitely planning for the worst.
“Young master, what is your plan?” An Yun asked.
“Head there first. We should be the first to arrive. Once we get there, we can assess the situation. With our strength, there is no need to fear too much. Even if we cannot win a fight, escaping should still be possible.” Lin Yun said.
“Good!” An Yun nodded.
The two hurried along quickly. It took a full two and a half days before they arrived at the destination.
It was dusk by then.
The dusk in the Fallen Land was a scene of dead silence. The scenery looked somewhat eerie.
“It is right here.” Lin Yun looked below.
There were actually a few ruined buildings here.
But these buildings were completely out of shape now, leaving only some broken walls and remnants.
If one passed by here normally, even if they looked, they would not notice anything special.
“It is right here.” Lin Yun looked at the broken walls and remnants below.
“If we go just a bit further from here, we will be out of the Fallen Land. That side is the area where the Elf Clan moves about in their ancestral land.” An Yun said.
