Chapter 1024: Chapter 1025: Siege
After resolving the issue with the Three-eyed Ghost Clan, Lin Qian and others spent a few days before descending the mountain to the foot of the hills.
Utilizing the properties of the disguise skill jade, they simulated a surge of aura, causing their own energy to waver. No one present could tell the difference; it appeared genuine.
Naturally, when Lin Qian and the Wei family disciples reached the foot of the mountain, people from other top forces inevitably looked over with disdainful eyes, whispering among themselves, full of mockery.
The ranking of Lin Qian and the Wei family disciples was twenty-fifth.
The Wei family, being an overlord-level force, had fallen to such a level, which was lantable.
Among the forces entering the Heroes Gathering relic, there were a total of fifty-seven parties. Twenty-fifth seed acceptable, but with their status, it was nothing short of a joke.
“Looks like having a burden has quite an impact on them.”
“I bet they had to divide their attention, taking care of that person in the Creation Realm on the way up and down the mountain?”
“That’s certainly possible, otherwise why would they be so late?”
Hearing the crowd’s discussions, Lin Qian also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Originally, after resolving the issue with the Three-eyed Ghost Clan, Lin Qian and the Wei family disciples planned to descend the mountain directly, but they reconsidered.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Qian’s realm was the Creation Realm. If they descended too early, wouldn’t it arouse suspicion?
Therefore, they needed to delay their ranking, making people think Lin Qian was dragging them down.
After all, with their strength, they could have easily placed in the top ten.
Only the lazy disciple from Ming Chun Hall opened his eyes, glanced skeptically in Lin Qian’s direction, then shook his head, closed his eyes, and continued resting on the grass.
Ti flew by quickly, and before long, a whole year had passed!
Out of fifty-seven forces, only fifty reached the foot of the mountain. As for where the other seven went, everyone tacitly looked at those forces with noticeably bulging packs.
Such actions were understood by all, secretly taking advantage of other forces was not uncommon.
However, no one knew that the Three-eyed Ghost Clan had actually perished at the hands of Lin Qian and his group.
One year had passed, and the first round concluded.
The second round was the endless lake before them.
To cross the lake within two years would be considered successful.
Flying over the lake was not allowed, so their choice was either to tread across or swim underwater.
Both options posed significant dangers.
The lake housed extrely dangerous soul beasts, frightening in power, incomparable to those living in mansion gardens.
Walking on the lake was incredibly fast but extrely risky, as no one knew when a soul beast might attack from below.
If you left even a drop of blood, these bloodthirsty aquatic soul beasts would relentlessly chase you, never letting go.
If swimming underwater, the speed was naturally slower than walking on the lake, and they had to withstand enormous water pressure.
However, while underwater, they could see the traces of the soul beasts, allowing them to avoid encounters and remain unhard.
After repeated confirmations from predecessors, it was found that these soul beasts were extrely sensitive to disturbances on the water’s surface.
But they would only be aware of movents underwater if it was within about three ters.
This was clearly a test; if they wanted a steady approach, they had to swim underwater. If aiming for a quick pass to grab rankings, walking on the lake was the choice.
Yet, underwater trekking required substantial strength due to the two-year ti limit.
Encountering soul beasts required detours, wasting more ti, and if one’s strength was insufficient, swimming speed would be too slow to cross the lake in two years.
If strong enough, they could slay aquatic soul beasts in their path and swiftly move on.
The blood of soul beasts would attract nearby soul beasts, ironically creating a safer escape without further soul beast harassnt.
With this information in mind, everyone was ready for action, fully prepared for the challenge ahead.
Overlord-level forces were clearly opting to walk on the lake, while other top forces naturally chose underwater swimming.
Just then, the sa disciple who previously provoked the Wei family on the Cloud Boat suddenly shouted to the crowd: “Everyone, may I ask for a favor? Break the limbs of these Wei family disciples, and the first ten forces to act will receive a bottle of Pill!”
“After all, it’s just breaking limbs, not killing them. Justice won’t punish the majority. What can the Wei family possibly do to you? Anyone willing?”
“Liu Shengzhi, what’s the aning of this!” Hearing his words, Wei Xiaogang couldn’t bear it any longer, clenching his fists and almost rushing forward.
Beside him, Wei Sulan quickly grabbed him, secretly transmitting through Soul Consciousness: “Don’t get excited, don’t ruin Brother Lin’s plan.”
Wei Xiaogang breathed heavily, glaring furiously in the opposing direction, forcibly suppressing his urge to rush and attack.
At this mont, Liu Shengzhi of Ming Chun Hall provocatively said to Wei Xiaogang: “What’s wrong? Just picking on your Wei family, can’t you see that? Not satisfied? Co hit !”
No Ming Chun Hall disciple stopped Liu Shengzhi’s behavior; instead, they watched with amusent at the unfolding events.
Zhao Junhao glanced towards the Wei family’s direction and cautioned, “Just a ga, don’t make a move, gear up for the sprint, keep taking first place.”
“Got it, Brother Zhao.” Zhao Shengzhi nonchalantly waved, looking at the Wei family, “A bunch of trash, what could possibly happen?”
The other overlord-level forces ward up and prepared, also watching the spectacle with interest.
Elsewhere, nearby overlord-level forces cast fiery gazes towards the Wei family.
The Pill from Ming Chun Hall was bound to be excellent.
“I don’t care who takes their soul devices, but I reckon their soul device quality is impressive, being from an overlord-level disciple, ha ha.” Liu Shengzhi’s words, like adding fuel to the fire, stirred many top forces’ disciples into approaching Lin Qian and the group.
At this ti, these top forces were closing in, surrounding them.
Wei Changming and others, montarily at a loss, looked towards Lin Qian: “What do we do?”
Lin Qian’s expression sharpened, frowning: “In this case, there’s no other option.”
