The commotion was so great that everyone turned to look.
The cultivators in hiding sensed the disturbance too. They emerged to investigate, then flew toward the town gate.
Chen Lin did the same.
The three exchanged a glance and reached the gate in a few flashes.
There, they saw Gray Donkey running back and forth with a Golden Arrow clenched between his teeth, kicking up clouds of dust. The arrow struggled continuously as though it had a will of its own, seemingly intent on breaking free.
Besides that,
two people were chasing and intercepting Gray Donkey. Both wielded precious tools, and every strike was a killing move brimming with murderous intent.
Seeing Chen Lin approach,
Gray Donkey leaped several feet into the air, sailed over one of his pursuers, and landed before Chen Lin.
But he could not stay still.
Under the "pull" of the struggling arrow, he could only circle Chen Lin to keep from being dragged away, all while urgently signaling him with his eyes.
Chen Lin's eyes flashed at the sight.
Three streams of radiant light surged from his palm. Two attacked Gray Donkey's assailants, while the third became a rainbow that enveloped the Golden Arrow in the donkey's mouth.
With a thought,
he drew the arrow into his hand.
Then Chen Lin activated his divine sense. Bolstered by his powerful will, it penetrated the golden light and suppressed the resistance within.
The golden light weakened instantly.
After a few final struggles, its radiance faded completely, leaving a command arrow.
Chen Lin also received a notification.
You have obtained a Flag-Seizing Token and qualified to participate in the Flag-Seizing Operation.
The notification was as terse as ever.
It did not explain where the command arrow came from or give any details about the Flag-Seizing Operation.
