Chu Duanhun saw the middle-aged man in the white robe appear.
He remained calm despite the provocation, turning his head to look at Lin Heng.
"Brother Lin, someone has come to your territory to cause trouble."
Chu Duanhun actually shifted the blame on the spot.
According to the agreement with Dasiwoba, Lin Heng would only receive the island after winning this competition.
But now, hearing Chu Duanhun's words, it seems he's actually starting to abandon the project altogether.
Lin Heng squinted at Chu Duanhun, who deliberately avoided Lin Heng's gaze.
Although he knew this was Dasiwoba's little scheme, and that he was somewhat being plotted against.
But some things, of course, don't need to be said out loud.
After all, Lin Heng and Dasiwoba had reached a consensus during the Heavenly Sea Contest.
Taking action against the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea now is within the scope of their agreement.
After shifting his gaze from Chu Duanhun, Lin Heng looked up at the middle-aged man in the long robe in the air.
"From this day forward, the Heavenly Star Sea Region is under my, Lin Heng's, control."
With just one simple sentence, Lin Heng drew everyone's attention.
" Lin Heng, with your mere Creation Realm cultivation, you dare to covet the Heavenly Star Sea Region?"
The middle-aged man in the long robe Nubisi, spoke with a tone full of sarcasm.
Not only Nubisi, but even the people behind him looked at Lin Heng with disdain.
They had also heard about Lin Heng's outstanding performance in the Heavenly Sea Contest.
But that's just a stage for those in the Creation Realm; how could it possibly catch the eye of those in the Eternal Realm?
Furthermore, Nubisi and the others discovered that Lin Heng was only at the Early Creation Realm.
They're way worse than them.
Even though Lin Heng possessed Mu Chen's inheritance, Nubisi and the others naturally wouldn't give him any face until his strength reached a level that made them wary.
Lin Heng simply smiled indifferently at this.
"You can't solve problems with words."
"Now that you're here, I'm not going to let you go so easily."
"Tell me how you want to play, and I, Lin Heng, will play along to the end."
Nubisi was somewhat angry when he saw Lin Heng say these words with a solemn expression.
How dare a mere Early Creation Realm cultivator be so insolent in front of me?
Nubisi immediately snorted coldly and said arrogantly:
" Lin Heng, let's settle this with a duel in the ring."
"Each side will send five people."
"The living enter, the dead leave."
"Will you dare to fight until one side is completely wiped out?"
Upon hearing Nubisi's words, the men standing behind him panicked.
The living enter, the dead leave?
Doesn't this mean that someone on our side is definitely going to die today?
The other four people from the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea were not having it.
" Nubisi, what you just said was not what the lord instructed."
"Indeed, you must not make this decision on your own, or I will immediately report it to the lord."
The other four members of the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea unanimously refuted Nubisi's words.
They were ordered to fight for the Heavenly Star Sea Region, and were certainly prepared to die in battle.
However, cultivators from Four Seas understand that such battles usually don't escalate to a fight to the death.
It was originally just a formality.
But now that Nubisi has pushed them to the brink of war, how can the other four possibly agree to this?
However, in response to the four's rebuttal, Nubisi secretly explained via telepathy:
"Gentlemen, have you all forgotten the rules of this battle for the Heavenly Star Sea Region?"
"Ha! Lin Heng has practically handed us a huge favor."
"You don't even want the credit that's already in your hands?"
Nubisi's words caught the others off guard.
Upon further reflection, the four suddenly realized the key point in Nubisi's words.
What are the rules of the battle for the Heavenly Star Sea Region?
Dasiwoba and Hermoz had a private agreement back then.
The Heavenly Star Sea Region is a battleground between the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea and the Western Celebratory Demon Sea.
That means only cultivators from their own sea area can fight, and they cannot ask for outside help.
Upon realizing this, the other four immediately understood Nubisi's idea.
Lin Heng just said that he will take over this place from now on.
Doesn't this mean that Dasiwoba handed over the Heavenly Star Sea Region to Lin Heng?
Therefore, this matter concerns the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea and Lin Heng, and has nothing to do with the Western Celebratory Demon Sea.
Thinking about it that way, isn't Lin Heng just offering himself up to die?
Without relying on the Western Celebratory Demon Sea, what kind of people does Lin Heng have under his command?
oh!
Oh, right!
During the previous Heavenly Sea Contest.
Dasiwoba promised Lin Heng a territory spanning 300 million li of ocean.
As is well known, the Lord of the Four Seas have brought most of the sea monsters from their universes to the underwater world within their own territories.
Lin Heng is probably just a subordinate of those minor demons in the underwater world, right?
Nubisi and his companions were already wearing smug smiles.
In their view, Lin Heng definitely didn't know that he couldn't hire outside help.
If that's the case, seizing this opportunity will allow us to take Lin Heng's life in one fell swoop.
All we need to do is kill Lin Heng, take the Mu Chen inheritance from him back, and present it to Lord Hermoz.
Wouldn't the five of them just take off right there in the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea?
At this moment, Lin Heng also spoke up.
"Alright, as you say."
"Five-man battle, one-on-one, until one side is completely wiped out."
As soon as Lin Heng finished speaking, Nubisi and the others burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Lin Heng, you probably don't know yet."
"The battle for the Heavenly Star Sea Region is not open to the intervention of other forces."
"Since you have already stated yourself that you will be in charge of this place from now on, not Western Celebratory Demon Sea."
"That means you can no longer ask Western Celebratory Demon Sea's people to participate in the war."
At this point, Nubisi couldn't help but imagine the scene of Lin Heng being killed by him.
He imagined his weapon piercing Lin Heng's body.
He imagined Lin Heng's life energy disappearing forever from this space.
He imagined that after returning to the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea, he would be praised by Lord Hermoz and his status would be greatly elevated.
The scenes were so beautiful that Nubisi didn't want to return to reality from this fantasy.
After about ten seconds, when Nubisi finished enjoying his self-indulgent state, he looked at Lin Heng again and said sternly:
" Lin Heng, bring your men out here!"
"Or are you trying to stall for time, to prolong your existence a little longer?"
"If that's the case, I wouldn't mind letting you live a few more days."
As he spoke, Nubisi's face revealed a mocking expression.
The other four people from the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea also joined in the laughter.
They imagined that Lin Heng must be feeling incredibly panicked right now.
However, just as Nubisi was about to speak again to mock Lin Heng...
He suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Why did Chu Duanhun wear a sarcastic smile?
After learning the rules of the Heavenly Star Sea Region Battle, why wasn't Lin Heng afraid at all?
Could it be that I overlooked something?
