Conflict and Lin Dong's Strength
The Brown-clothed Middle-aged Man on the blue stone was clearly taken aback by Lin Langtian's question. He then glanced at the black, damaged bead in the latter's hand and murmured in surprise.
"Huh? Why are you interested in it?"
"Would you believe me if I said it was a hidden, peerless treasure?" Lin Langtian said calmly.
He knew, of course, that everyone here was shrewd and capable. Although they didn't even know what some of the things they had salvaged from the Abyssal Demon Domain were, they were extremely vigilant.
After all, it's not uncommon for things to turn out to be junk that was discovered to be a great treasure in the blink of an eye.
However, Lin Langtian did the opposite of what was expected, instead of doing it secretly and casually like Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.
He believed that by saying this, he would be even less likely to arouse the man's suspicion. After all, even he had to rely on the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror to notice this inconspicuous, damaged Black Pearl.
Sure enough, the Brown-clothed Middle-aged Man was also taken aback by Lin Langtian's reply, because most treasure hunters would try to hide their finds even if they discovered something, but who would announce it so openly like Lin Langtian?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's sharp gaze returned to the black, broken bead, and after a long while, he slowly looked away.
He had studied these items for sale countless times before, but he hadn't found anything particularly special about them. In particular, this bead didn't have any fluctuations, so it definitely wasn't some Pure Origin Treasure whose brilliance had been concealed.
Therefore, the middle-aged man subconsciously thought that Lin Langtian was probably just bluffing him.
"Alright, shall we sell or not?"
While the middle-aged man was pondering, Lin Langtian waved the broken bead in his hand, which resembled an eyeball, at him and casually asked a question.
"Hehe, sell, of course I'll sell." Seeing Lin Langtian's indifferent attitude, the middle-aged man put aside his last bit of concern and quickly smiled and said.
"How much does it cost?" Lin Langtian asked again.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly, before saying, "Twenty million Nirvana Pill."
Upon hearing this, Song Yun and the others behind Lin Langtian frowned slightly, then glared angrily at him. This guy didn't even look at who he was facing, yet he dared to make such an outrageous demand.
"Hmph, aren't you a bit too ruthless? You dare to take advantage of our Senior Brother? Aren't you afraid of offending the Yuan Sect?" The impatient Pang Lie stepped forward, glaring at the stall owner, and sneered.
"We sell things here, especially these unknown items, and the prices are not low because we also have to bear the risk that this junk might turn into a great treasure."
The middle-aged man shrugged and said, "Even if you are from the Yuan Sect, you still have to consider my feelings. What if this thing really is a treasure? How much blood would I have to vomit?"
"There aren't that many treasures hidden in the world," Song Yun said from the side, then smiled slightly, "Twelve million Nirvana Pill, that's the most I can do."
Upon hearing the price, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, then looked at Lin Langtian. Although he did not know the man, he realized that since the latter had so many followers, his status in the Yuan Sect must be extremely high.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright then, twelve million Nirvana Pill, that's the lowest I can go!"
Lin Langtian nodded slightly at the price, then took out a Universe Bag from his pocket and tossed it to the other party.
The middle-aged man took the Universe Bag, glanced at it, and immediately his face lit up with joy. He then smiled and said, "Hehe, the transaction is complete. The customer can take the bead now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian unceremoniously put the tattered black bead into his Universe Bag. Just as he turned to say something to Song Yun and the others, a crisp sound suddenly rang out in the area.
Upon hearing this sound, Lin Langtian and the others all looked up at the sky, where a dazzling firework rose up and eventually transformed into the emblem of the Yuan Sect.
Looking at the light pattern, Song Yun frowned slightly, then said to Lin Langtian, "Senior Brother, this is a distress signal unique to our Yuan Sect. It seems that a fellow disciple is in trouble. Should we go and help?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian initially wanted to wave his hand, not wanting to get involved in such trivial matters. However, as if he had just thought of something, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems that the distress signal is not far from us. Let's go and see what's going on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Langtian off in the direction of the exploding fireworks, and Song Yun and the others followed closely behind.
Lin Langtian and his group moved extremely fast and soon arrived at the scene of the accident. However, the place was already surrounded by a huge crowd, and the noisy commotion was like waves constantly reaching their ears.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian stroked his chin and suddenly noticed the tall pavilion next to him. He then waved his hand and said, "Come with me."
Upon entering the attic, Lin Langtian reserved a private room with an excellent view and immediately began to observe the situation.
Suddenly, a huge circle appeared in a certain area of the Treasure Hunting Area, and on either side of that circle stood two menacing groups.
One side was the Yuan Sect, to which Lin Langtian belonged, while the other side was none other than the Dao Sect.
"Oh, it really is those guys from the Dao Sect. Apart from them, I'm afraid no one else would dare to provoke my Yuan Sect. I didn't expect Dao Sect Senior Sister Ying Xiaoxiao and Senior Brother Wang Yan, who was defeated by Senior Brother, would both come. No wonder Senior Brother Jiang Tao, who is Water Division Spirit General, sent a signal for help." Song Yun quickly analyzed the situation on the field and explained it in detail.
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Langtian. Although there were misunderstandings and conflicts among the Yuan Gate Eight Divisions, they were all from the same sect. In the current situation, whether or not to provide support depended on Lin Langtian's thoughts.
Lin Langtian remained expressionless and indifferent. Although he did not side with the Dao Sect, he had no connection with Jiang Tao either, so he simply chose not to take sides.
Seeing that Lin Langtian had no intention of making a move, Song Yun and Pang Lie exchanged glances and wisely kept quiet about the matter.
Since joining Lin Langtian's side, they have followed his lead without question, and naturally, they must do everything in accordance with Lin Langtian's will.
"Senior Brother, look! It's Lin Dong! He's here to participate in the Sect Tournament too!"
At this moment, Mo Tie suddenly noticed something, and then pointed to a black-clad figure that rushed into the scene, and exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian quickly looked over and saw a young man who was not particularly handsome, but had a resolute face and deep black eyes slowly walk into the arena.
This person is none other than Lin Dong.
"As expected of the Child of Destiny, it seems that the Dao Sect is indeed suitable for Lin Dong's growth..." Sensing the powerful aura within Lin Dong, Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although his strength is still above Lin Dong's at this time, it must be said that the gap between the two is no longer as huge as it was during the Great Yan Dynasty.
In other words, Lin Dong is trying his best to catch up with him.
Lin Langtian felt slightly uncomfortable about this, but he wasn't too surprised.
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Langtian then looked at the people beside Lin Dong. Among them, besides Wang Yan, who had been defeated by him before, and Ying Xiaoxiao, whom he had met twice, there was also a young girl.
The girl was clearly not very old, and looked about the same age as Su Rou back then, only taller and more slender, dressed in a red dress, standing gracefully.
The girl was quite beautiful, but what drew Lin Langtian's attention to her more was not that, but the strange fluctuations emanating from her body. In those fluctuations, he could even faintly hear some clear sounds like the gentle tapping of musical instruments.
"Oh, the reincarnation of the Ice Master, Ying Huanhuan..." Lin Langtian thought to himself, sensing the special intimacy the girl in the red dress showed towards Lin Dong.
This is the disciple among the Ancient Eight Lords who has the best chance of inheriting the mantle of the Symbol Ancestor. His strength and talent are among the best in the continent.
Of course, her most important identity was that she later became the wife of Martial Ancestor Lin Dong, and the famous Martial Realm Mistress in the Great Thousand World.
As Lin Langtian pondered to himself, the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In mid-air, the sound of wind breaking could be heard continuously, and then figures quickly fell from the sky, finally appearing in two opposite directions.
In just a few minutes, hundreds of figures stood on both sides, a sight that left many people secretly amazed. No wonder it was Super Sect.
The Treasure Hunting Area was a mixed bag, and the commotion here was quite significant. Immediately, countless curious gazes were cast toward this place, including those of Lin Langtian and others on the upper floor.
The next moment, Lin Langtian seemed to sense something, and he raised his head slightly, looking towards a point in mid-air.
There, a violent sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out, and then a burly figure, his whole body wrapped in dazzling lightning, descended from the sky like a thunder god, finally landing in front of the group of the Yuan Sect disciples.
"Haha, your defeated Dao Sect dares to provoke my Yuan Sect! Come, let's see who dies first!"
As soon as the lightning figure appeared, an extremely arrogant laugh boomed out.
When that voice rang out, the expressions of everyone from the Dao Sect turned completely gloomy.
"Oh, so Senior Brother Little Thunder King has shown up. It seems those guys from the Dao Sect are in for trouble," Song Yun murmured upon seeing this.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian shook his head, neither confirming nor denying, and said, "That's not necessarily true. Lei Qian's strength doesn't match his boasting. He might just suffer a big setback."
Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, Song Yun and the others immediately showed a look of doubt. Although they did not have much affection for the Yuan Gate Three Young Kings, they had to admit the latter's strength.
There probably isn't anyone in the Dao Sect capable of dealing with Little Thunder King.
"Senior Brother, are you perhaps referring to Lin Dong?" Mo Tie asked suddenly, as if he had just realized something.
Back during the Hundred Dynasties War, although the Yan Alliance's formidable reputation was largely built by Lin Langtian, even with Lin Langtian's brilliance, it could not completely overshadow Lin Dong's radiance.
Lin Langtian is rising rapidly in the Yuan Sect, and Lin Dong, as the second senior brother of the Yan Alliance, shouldn't be doing nothing in the Dao Sect either.
"Lin Dong..." Upon hearing this name, Song Yun and the others exchanged glances, a look of confusion appearing on their faces.
Having never participated in the Hundred Dynasties War, they naturally wouldn't understand how monstrous Lin Langtian and Lin Dong's performance was in the Ancient Battlefield.
Lin Langtian didn't say much about this, only smiled slightly with a meaningful look, and said, "Little Thunder King won't gain any advantage. Let's wait and see..."
The moment the words were spoken, the situation on the field became extremely heated.
As Lin Dong took a step forward, a surge of immense Yuan Power swept out, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, hurtling straight toward Lei Qian.
Judging from his appearance, this young general from the Dao Sect is actually going to confront Lei Qian head-on?
"Court death!"
Upon seeing Lin Dong's actions, Jiang Tao and the Yuan Sect disciples immediately sneered. Even Song Yun and the others beside Lin Langtian did not believe Dao Sect, apart from Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan, anyone in the Dao Sect could fight against Little Thunder King.
After all, even Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan were barely holding on against Little Thunder King!
"Hiss!"
Upon seeing Lin Dong's attack, Lei Qian's face immediately revealed a cold smile. Then, brilliant lightning once again emerged from the surface of his body, and the violent fluctuations of his Yuan Power were far stronger than those of an ordinary Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage.
The next moment, Lei Qian took a step forward, and dazzling lightning surged wildly, transforming into a roaring lightning lion's head on his fist.
"Thunder Lion Fist!"
As Lei Qian unleashed his punch, a deep lion's roar accompanied by thunderous sound emanated from his fist, and visible waves of lightning swept outwards, causing the ground to crack in a spiderweb-like pattern.
Whoosh!
Both were extremely fast, and in just a moment, the two figures were about to collide fiercely like meteorites!
Moreover, in this collision, Lin Dong was clearly at a complete disadvantage. Lei Qian's punch was enough to cripple him!
However, apart from Lin Langtian, no one noticed that at the very moment the two were about to collide, a strange smile appeared on Lin Dong's lips, and his hands quietly formed a strange hand seal, from which the energy spread.
The Thunder Lion Light Fist, which was about to strike Lin Dong's chest, suddenly and strangely froze!
The solidification lasted only a moment, but in a battle between powerful individuals, that single moment is enough to determine the outcome.
Whoosh!
At the very moment the fist of light condensed, Lin Dong's figure, like a ghost, passed right by Lei Qian's body.
Bang!
Two figures passed each other, and an unusually deep muffled sound quietly rang out. The pupils of countless people in the arena instantly contracted, and a sense of horror crept into the depths of their eyes.
Because they saw that after the two figures parted ways, Lei Qian's face suddenly turned red.
Then, as if an invisible force exploded from Lei Qian's chest, his body flew backward and crashed heavily into a huge blue stone. The terrifying force shattered the blue stone into dust on the spot.
The entire venue was deathly silent!
