The Blood Demon Flower’s effect was to significantly boost cultivation, similar to demon crystals. The effect of a single Blood Demon Flower could rival a vast number of demon crystals.
It also had a unique trait: it could be preserved for a long time. Unlike demon crystals, which lost their energy within a day if not used after being extracted from a demon’s body, the Blood Demon Flower could be stored.
This allowed the Blood Demon Flower to circulate in the market.
Due to this characteristic, it fetched an extremely high price. Combined with its rarity, it was virtually priceless in the market, often unattainable even with money.
Obtaining this Blood Demon Flower, whether for personal use or to sell, was highly enticing.
At this moment, Lin Yun quietly arrived at the scene, hiding in a secluded spot far away.
“So many teams. It’s quite lively,” Lin Yun murmured, a smile creeping onto his face as he observed the numerous teams.
This would surely cause trouble for the man in the brocade robe and his group.
However, with so many teams present, Lin Yun’s chances of seizing the Blood Demon Flower were slim.
Even without these teams, taking the flower from a Transcendent Realm cultivator would be nearly impossible.
Regardless, Lin Yun had earned a fortune selling the maps, so even if he gained nothing from this trip, he was far from losing out.
For now, Lin Yun planned to stay hidden and wait, assessing the situation later.
About half an hour later.
“Hm? It’s them?”
Lin Yun’s expression changed as he spotted a newly arrived team heading toward his location.
Clearly, this team had also chosen his hiding spot.
More importantly, Lin Yun recognised this team.
During the six months he spent with Wu Shen’s group, they had fought many battles, including against other teams.
This approaching team had once clashed with Lin Yun’s group. Lin Yun had killed one of their members, and the rest had fled in disarray.
As the team drew closer, they spotted Lin Yun.
Though the Shadowless Jade Pendant could evade spiritual sense detection, it couldn’t hide him from plain sight.
“It’s you, kid,” the team of six said, startled upon seeing Lin Yun.
Their leader was a burly man with protruding teeth.
When the bucktoothed man saw Lin Yun, he initially showed a hint of fear, recalling Lin Yun’s fierce performance in their previous encounter.
“Boss, there’s no one else around, just this kid!” a short teammate said.
Hearing this, the bucktoothed man, who had been wary, broke into a grin.
“So it’s just you. You’ve got some guts coming here alone!” the bucktoothed man said, eyeing Lin Yun.
If Lin Yun were still with Wu Shen’s team, they would have been cautious.
But now, with six of them against Lin Yun alone, what was there to fear?
“Kid, what a coincidence. Since you’re alone, it’s time to settle our score,” the bucktoothed man said, stepping forward with a large blade in hand.
“You tried to rob us back then, and now you act so righteous!” Lin Yun sneered.
“Haha, might makes right. Don’t you know that? Now that you’re alone, you’re the one in trouble!” the bucktoothed man laughed.
“You lot can’t do anything to me,” Lin Yun said coldly.
The six consisted of four Initial Saints and two Mysterious Saints. If they surrounded him, Lin Yun wasn’t afraid. He was confident they couldn’t take his life.
If he wanted to escape, they couldn’t stop him.
However, Lin Yun’s goal was the Blood Demon Flower. Getting entangled with them would make seizing it even harder.
What worried Lin Yun most was that a fight here might draw the attention of the man in the brocade robe and the Transcendent Realm elder, which would be trouble.
“Kid, die!”
“Get him!”
The bucktoothed man didn’t bother talking further. With a loud roar, he swung his blade fiercely.
Swish!
The blade gleamed, slashing toward Lin Yun with a gust of wind.
Lin Yun swiftly drew his sword, meeting the attack head-on.
Boom!
The clash of sword and blade sent a surge of energy rippling outward, forcing the bucktoothed man to stagger back as the shockwave exploded.
Just as Lin Yun repelled him, the other five surrounded Lin Yun, attacking from different directions.
…
By the lake ahead.
The various teams stationed there sensed the commotion of the fight.
Many glanced toward the source of the noise.
For most teams, it was just a glance. The fight was irrelevant, and no one bothered to intervene.
But when the man in the brocade robe saw the distant battle, he leapt up from where he sat by the lake.
“That kid! It’s that kid!” he shouted repeatedly.
The Transcendent Realm elder turned quickly upon hearing this.
“It’s him? That kid actually showed up!” The elder’s pupils shrank as he spotted Lin Yun’s figure.
“That little bastard. I couldn’t find him, and now he’s come here to die!” Murderous intent flashed across the elder’s face.
“Elder Li, we must skin him alive and tear out his tendons! Not only do we kill him, but we make him suffer!” the man in the brocade robe said through gritted teeth.
Recalling how Lin Yun had humiliated him by holding him hostage and stepping on him, he felt both shame and rage.
Today, he would make Lin Yun pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
“Young Master, no need to tell me. I’ll do it!”
With that, the Transcendent Realm elder stomped his foot and shot toward the distant battlefield.
“Let’s go!” the man in the brocade robe waved, leading his guards toward the fight.
At Lin Yun’s location.
Lin Yun was locked in combat with the six.
If he fought any one of them alone, Lin Yun wouldn’t take them seriously.
But with six attacking together, it was tricky, though defeating him was no easy task for them either.
As Lin Yun fought fiercely, the Transcendent Realm elder arrived.
“Brat, we meet again!” the elder’s voice boomed.
“Damn it! He’s here!”
Lin Yun’s face darkened as he saw the Transcendent Realm elder.
His biggest fear while fighting these six was attracting the attention of the man in the brocade robe and the elder.
