The Demon Alliance is leading the attack on Qian Jiyin? And the benefits they gain can be taken by others? Isn't this a windfall?
Qian Jiyin hadn't expected that this seemingly indecisive girl would have such a decisive idea. It seemed she had pressured the Demon Alliance into the competition, putting herself and the others at a disadvantage.
But in reality, she was clearly using Qian Jiyin to get the members of the Demon Alliance out of the encirclement of others, thus enabling her to achieve her own goals.
After all, Luna's goal wasn't to obtain the treasure, but simply to prevent everyone from entering! Therefore, Qian Jiyin was originally her enemy, and no matter what she did, Qian Jiyin would fight them.
Now, by bringing Qian Jiyin to the same location as them, not only has everyone's attention been diverted from the treasure, but they have also faced one less opponent, making it a perfect solution.
"What a talent! Truly a talent!" Qian Jiyin looked at Luna and couldn't help but feel as if he had just met this Holy Maiden of the Demon Alliance. "The leaders of the Demon Alliance aren't just grooming you as a Holy Maiden; they're clearly grooming you as their fourth leader!"
"I'm impressed, Holy Maiden!" Qian Jiyin said admiringly. "I've witnessed the Demon Alliance's methods firsthand; they are indeed ruthless and decisive!"
Upon hearing Qian Jiyin's words, Luna felt a sense of foreboding. Did this guy see through her plan and intend to extricate himself from this conflict? If so, wouldn't her plan have failed?
Indeed, while this is the best solution Luna can think of, it's actually quite easy to break: all that's needed is for Qian Jiyin to retreat now.
Thus, since Luna and the others cannot retreat because they must protect Qi Ling within the ruins, after losing Qian Jiyin as their adversary, their adversary once again becomes everyone else.
More importantly, if Qian Jiyin were to leave, probably no one would have the courage to stop him, but the sight of a treasure that cannot be moved is enough to tempt everyone to greed!
Another point is that Qian Jiyin's way of turning the tables has undoubtedly given him the upper hand again. Whether he takes the opportunity to move into the shadows or makes a real withdrawal, it's a sure-fire way to make money.
As expected, Qian Jiyin then smiled at everyone and said, "Since that's the case, then we won't get involved in this mess. We all choose to abandon this conflict!"
"Of course, if even if we all retreat like this, some of you might still be overconfident and intend to join us. Then feel free to come at us; we'll be waiting!"
After saying this, Qian Jiyin and his men began to retreat in the direction they had come from. Luna wanted to pursue them, but she couldn't leave the area.
The scene suddenly became strange again, and a delicate balance was once again formed between the crowd and the Demon Alliance. Luna only hoped that this balance could be maintained for as long as possible, giving Qi Ling more time.
In such a tense atmosphere, even someone as oblivious as Xiaoyu couldn't help but swallow hard. The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
But this balance didn't last long either, as it was broken again by a sudden appearance of someone. What made Luna even more desperate was that this person couldn't be dealt with in the same way as the one who dealt with the Qian Jiyin.
Chu Ling, holding his Ghost King Halberd, swaggered out of the woods. He frowned as he looked at Luna in front of him and shouted, "Get out of the way!!"
As Cang Yue said, the gap between Demigod and True God cannot be bridged by strength alone. The siege of hundreds of experts only severely injured Cang Yue. Therefore, no one dared to attack Chu Ling, who was just like Cang Yue.
After all, unlike Qian Jiyin, he could still take advantage of the situation back then, but if he were to face Chu Ling, it would probably be a fatal shot.
But Luna stood resolutely in front of Chu Ling, refusing to back down. Instead, she firmly declared, "I won't back down, Chu Ling. You won't get past me!"
"Oh? You dare say such things to me? Have you really thought about the consequences?" Chu Ling said, "I won't show you any mercy just because you're the Holy Maiden of the Demon Alliance! If you fight me, be prepared to die!"
As he spoke, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from Chu Ling's body. It was an aura belonging to the True God level, an aura that none of the people present could withstand!
Luna sensed the difference in strength between the two sides, but gritted her teeth and refused to back down an inch. She had already decided that if she used her last resort, even Chu Ling would definitely be able to hold out for a while!
After all, Chu Ling couldn't possibly use all his trump cards just to deal with me, because that would mean he gave up the rest of the battle and lost his chance to obtain the treasure.
As for what would happen to Luna herself, she didn't consider it at all at this moment. All she could think about was Qi Ling. As long as she could help Qi Ling, everything would be worth it.
Seeing that Luna not only didn't move aside, but her killing intent was also increasing, clearly indicating that she intended to stop him at all costs, Chu Ling couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that you really don't have a clear understanding of your own capabilities?"
"Fine, if you're determined to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Just as Chu Ling's spear was radiating brilliant light and he was about to attack Luna with murderous intent, the battle was suddenly interrupted by someone.
Hao Long, whom they had been searching for, suddenly appeared here, surprising everyone. Luna exclaimed in surprise, " Hao Long, where have you been? I couldn't find you and I was so worried about you!"
However, Hao Long ignored what Luna said and did not even walk towards Luna. Instead, under everyone's gaze, he stopped next to Chu Ling.
" Chu Ling, you go ahead. I'll take Luna's place," Hao Long said slowly to Chu Ling.
Upon hearing Hao Long's words, Luna's eyes widened, and she said, " Hao Long, what are you saying? Why are you helping Chu Ling? Aren't you our partner?"
But Hao Long didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to say to Chu Ling, "However, Chu Ling, I have only one request: after you go in, you must find an opportunity to get rid of Qi Ling!"
Chu Ling sheathed his Ghost King Halberd, looked at Hao Long, then at Luna, and couldn't help but laugh, "Hehe, interesting, very interesting indeed! Hahahaha!"
"Okay, I'll agree. I was just thinking the same thing. If I get the chance after I get in, I'll definitely help you take care of Qi Ling!"
Then, Chu Ling swaggered towards the entrance of the ruins. Luna was about to stop him, but Hao Long blocked her in an instant! The two were evenly matched, and Luna had no way to break free from Hao Long for the time being.
As for the other members of the Demon Alliance, because of Hao Long's identity, they naturally did not dare to stop him, nor could they resist Chu Ling, and thus let him pass by.
