"They're here. Quite the turnout-"
Lin Hao had just snatched another Immortal Artifact from Deathless Valley and was preparing to move somewhere else to snatch more when he sensed the malice directed at him beginning to appear nearby.
Beside him, Yang Jie's senses were not as sharp as his, but she already knew who had stirred up the Life Forbidden Zone. She was not overly worried, merely reminding him, "You already used a divine weapon to hunt down a Saint of the Sima Family. There's no way only one family will deploy a divine weapon this time. Most likely, all five Aristocratic Families behind the Treasure Gathering Pavilion will act together, hoping to take you down without losses through an overwhelming advantage-"
If joining forces could let them take him down without losses, that was undoubtedly the most economical approach.
"All five families? That would be excellent-"
Lin Hao had now gradually upgraded his equipment. Immortal Artifact-grade trait stacking, combined with his integrated mastery of the Three Great Secret Realms, brought numerous powers together within him. Coupled with enchanting bonuses, this had truly given him another improvement.
If they were merely Saints carrying ordinary Immortal Artifacts, there was naturally nothing to worry about.
But he also knew that whoever had secretly stirred up this conflict would very likely take this opportunity to do something-
I'll just settle this with a divine weapon first and see exactly who it is and what they want-
Almost as soon as Lin Hao had that thought, five pillars of light shot into the sky around his position.
Immortal light tore through the heavens, enveloping the mountainous terrain where Lin Hao stood from five directions.
An axe, a whip, a saber, a halberd, and a bell-five Immortal Weapons slowly rose within those pillars of light.
