“Young Lord of the Nether Palace, you need not concern yourself with that. However, I must warn you. As long as I do not die, one day, I will certainly make you pay the price!” Lin Yun’s eyes flashed with cold light.
With those words, Lin Yun leapt directly off the arena.
The Young Lord of the Nether Palace also descended shortly after. The next match of the Peak Competition was about to begin.
Yet the discussions in the venue remained heated.
“This Lin Yun has offended three major forces at once. To protect himself, he probably has no choice but to find a way to join the Dao Alliance. After all, the Dao Alliance is opposed to those forces. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Dao Alliance would not fear taking him in.”
“His performance has indeed been dazzling. As long as he is willing to join, the Dao Alliance would probably be very happy to accept him.”
…
In everyone’s view, given Lin Yun’s current predicament, joining the Dao Alliance was the only solution. In their eyes, it was also a highly feasible approach.
Lin Yun’s bold confrontation with the Blood Moon Alliance, the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall, and the Young Lord of the Nether Palace had earned the admiration of many present.
After all, the evil deeds of forces like the Blood Moon Alliance, the Nether Palace, and the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall were known to many. People usually only dared to feel anger without speaking out.
To confront them head-on as Lin Yun had done was something many dreamed of but dared not attempt. It was enough to make many admire him as a true man, a heroic figure.
After this battle, everyone had thoroughly committed the name “Lin Yun” to memory.
No matter what, this name would resound throughout the human race in the Ancestral Land.
Beyond Lin Yun’s brilliant performance in defeating the Blood Moon Alliance elder on the arena, his daring to challenge the Dao Alliance, the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall, and the Blood Moon Alliance was enough to astonish the world.
At the edge of the crowd in the square.
The Flying Shadow Golden Lord, wearing his conical hat, could not help but sigh. “So this fellow is called Lin Yun. He certainly has courage and spirit, daring to clash directly with these forces!”
“Master, he will probably face great trouble from now on,” Wu Shen said with deep concern.
“Indeed, great trouble. He is now dancing on the edge of a blade. One misstep, and he faces eternal damnation,” the Flying Shadow Golden Lord nodded.
He continued. “However, the path to becoming a true powerhouse is never smooth. Often, if you fear and bow your head, you are destined for mediocrity forever. The courage and boldness he possesses are matched by few. He is fated to accomplish great things, of course, provided he survives.”
After descending from the arena, Lin Yun returned to Zou Dongsheng and An Yun’s side.
The matches on the arena continued one after another.
Below the stage.
“Young Lord, the trouble now is probably immense. The enemies you will face are the Nether Palace, the Blood Moon Alliance, and the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall. They will likely all move against you,” An Yun said with great worry.
“At least I do not fear the teams they have here. Even if all three teams attacked me at once, I would not fear them. Unless their supremes personally come to Chaos Valley in the Ancestral Heart Realm to kill me. Even for a supreme, reaching Chaos Valley in the Ancestral Heart Realm would take several days,” Lin Yun replied.
Given the current pace of the competition, the Peak Competition would certainly conclude within 24 hours. At that time, neither the Dao Alliance nor the six major forces would have any supremes present.
“By the way, Young Lord, your approach was excellent. Using the Dao Alliance to counterbalance them. Even if their supremes arrive, if you are willing to offer that weapon as the price and give it entirely to the Dao Alliance, it should secure their protection from pursuit by those three forces,” Zou Dongsheng said.
Though Lin Yun had no intention of joining the Dao Alliance, it was after all a top-tier alliance force. He could use it to manoeuvre.
Moreover, offering the Source Artefact as the price would be a huge bargain for the Dao Alliance. They would certainly be willing.
If things turned out that way, seizing the Source Artefact would actually become a blessing.
After all, the Source Artefact was not originally Lin Yun’s. Even without taking it, he would still face pursuit from the Nether Palace and the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall.
If he used the Source Artefact well, he might even resolve those two threats.
“Yes, I will find a way to handle this matter. Coming to this Peak Competition, I knew it would not be smooth,” Lin Yun nodded.
If Lin Yun had not come, none of these troubles would exist, but he would also have lost the chance to contend for entry into the Chaos Realm.
The path of cultivation is like this. To seize opportunities, one must be prepared to face dangers. If one fears and dares not act, there is indeed no danger, but one is also destined never to achieve greatness.
…
On the other side.
Inside the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall.
The Hall Master of the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall was naturally also following the Peak Competition and had witnessed everything that had just occurred.
“Betraying my Heavenly Fire Divine Hall means certain death!” Killing intent surged in the Hall Master’s cold eyes.
