The five of them had made their plan, but the key contenders would still be Black Mist Emperor and Infinite Great Serpent. Bai Ye also had a decent chance, but Nether God Star's odds were far lower—almost nonexistent—so he did not appear particularly eager.
Of course, he also longed to obtain the Eternal Leaf. After all, it concerned the growth of his strength.
Once the plan was set, the several Sequences easily sensed Luo Feng's location. He had already been sitting cross-legged beneath the Eternal Tree for some time. Clearly, he too had realized that if he left the Eternal Land, he would face unprecedented targeting.
"Hm?" At that moment, all of them turned their gazes outside the Eternal Land.
"Gu Yan? Why has he returned?" Their expressions all changed.
The Fifth Sequence of the Eternal Land—though his defenses were not as terrifying as Nether God Star's or Infinite Great Serpent's—was indeed no weaker than Infinite Great Serpent in strength. Moreover, this fellow possessed a trace of Tan God Race bloodline. The Tan God Race had once been one of the dominant races in this region of space, though for unknown reasons they had vanished and perished. Still, they had indeed left a trace of their bloodline within the Tan Yuan Race. This mere trace of bloodline granted the Tan Yuan Race terrifying strength.
If not for his formidable defenses, even Infinite would not necessarily dare claim he could fight Gu Yan.

"Gu Yan... I didn't expect him to return too." Infinite Great Serpent's eyes also showed displeasure.
