Within the basin where the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury was located, with the arrival of the Yuan Gate and Taiqing Palace teams, the atmosphere in the entire basin became tense.
Led by Ying Xiaoxiao, the Dao Sect disciples stood up directly, releasing the aura within their bodies, pressing towards the Yuan Gate disciples. Judging by their posture, it seemed they wanted to eliminate the Yuan Gate ahead of time.
The Taiqing Palace disciples, who arrived right after the Yuan Gate, also under the leadership of Ling Qingzhu, tacitly joined forces to deal with the Yuan Gate.
But what truly surprised everyone was that the God Sect, Symbol Valley, and the other four super sects also rose up after the Dao Sect and Taiqing Palace made their moves. Each of them released their aura, suppressing those lackey forces of the Yuan Gate.
Obviously, the Ten Thousand Puppets Gate, Sword Sect, and other forces had long been won over by the Dao Sect, but they had not launched an attack until now.
In the blink of an eye, the Yuan Gate's side, along with those forces that had joined them, directly fell into a disadvantage.
However, facing this situation, Yuan Cang was not flustered at all, even somewhat indifferent. Only when his gaze occasionally swept over Lin Xuan, who was standing there indifferently, would his pupils shrink involuntarily, as if a hint of fear flashed across them.
"Yuan Cang, are you going to get out of here yourselves, or do you want us to do it for you?"
Ying Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but Wang Yan, standing behind her, couldn't help but say, his eyes filled with a cold killing intent. This time, it was the best opportunity for him to avenge his sister, and he would not let go of any Yuan Gate disciple.
The reason he said this was just to force the Yuan Gate to reveal their trump cards as soon as possible. Although Wang Yan had a violent temper, he wasn't really brainless. How could he ruin the big picture?
"Hmph, Wang Yan, what are you being arrogant about? It's not your turn to show off. I don't even need Yuan Senior, I alone can shut you up!"
Lei Qian said coldly, and then, he took a step forward, and an extremely powerful aura swept out from Lei Qian's body in an instant. Judging by that aura, it had completely reached the Lesser Accomplishment of the Life Profound Realm.
After feeling the aura within Lei Qian's body, many rogue cultivators' expressions changed slightly, obviously, they were still somewhat shocked by Lei Qian's powerful strength.
However, this shock was limited to those who didn't have enough information. Forces like the Dao Sect and Taiqing Palace had basically figured out the strength of Yuan Cang and the others. Even if they weren't very clear, they could still guess.
After all, if the Yuan Gate didn't use the Demon Prison card, which was already clear, then there was no need to fight. They would just be rubbed on the ground.
"Hehe, Lei Qian, you're quite confident. How about I play with you?"
Before Wang Yan could speak, Chen Kui, standing next to him, took the initiative to say with a smile, twisting his hands together a few times, loosening his muscles, and then, he looked at Ling Zhen, who was not speaking beside Yuan Cang, and said with a smile.
"If you, Lei Qian, don't dare, you can pull Ling Zhen along. I don't mind you ganging up on me. After all, this is your Yuan Gate's most powerful unique skill."
Chen Kui sneered, and the surrounding powerhouses couldn't help but laugh.
Isn't that right? Bullying the few with the many is the Yuan Gate's traditional skill. It's been many years. Didn't the Yuan Gate use this method to deal with Zhou Tong of the Dao Sect a hundred years ago? They even bullied the small with the big.
In the previous Sect Tournament, the Yuan Gate Three Little Kings also bullied the Dao Sect in this way, and even took the initiative to violate the rules. When the Dao Sect conceded, they used their numbers to bully the few, forcibly besieging and killing the Dao Sect's Eldest Senior Sister.
During the Hundred Dynasty War a year ago, the Yuan Gate once again launched its traditional unique skill, bullying the small with the big, and the few with the many, to deal with the Sword Saint. However, the Sword Saint's strength was outstanding, and his talent was decisive. He suppressed the Yuan Gate, and even forced the Yuan Gate to invite the Seven Kings Hall, and finally had to admit defeat.
Not long ago, the Yuan Gate once again took action, still dealing with the Sword Saint. The result was that this time it was even more ruthless. He was blocked by the Sword Saint alone at the Yuan Gate Ancestral Land, and was finally directly beaten into closing the mountain.
This was an irrefutable fact. Even Ling Zhen thought so at this moment. What one-on-one fair duel? What does this kind of thing have to do with them, these inhuman demons? What they want is to successfully execute the plan.
And if they could defeat Chen Kui by two against one, and even kill him in the chaos, it would be of great help to them in executing the plan.
Therefore, after Chen Kui finished speaking, before Lei Qian could speak, Ling Zhen took the initiative to respond.
"Heh, what an arrogant person. Since you look down on my Yuan Gate so much, then today, I will capture you together with Lei Qian, and see if you still dare to underestimate my Yuan Gate!"
Ling Zhen said it with such righteousness, and even directly excused them in advance. We are joining forces to deal with Chen Kui because this guy is too arrogant and looks down on my Yuan Gate, not because my Yuan Gate wants to bully the few with the many.
Lei Qian, who was already irritated by Chen Kui, frowned when he heard this. He actually wanted to fight Chen Kui one-on-one. Originally, Lei Qian was the kind of arrogant person. He had always been very unhappy with Chen Kui being above him.
Now, his strength has greatly improved, and he is completely in the same realm as Chen Kui. Perhaps, he can even gain some advantage. It is naturally an excellent opportunity to take down Chen Kui. As a result, this guy Ling Zhen came out to disrupt the situation.
However, before Lei Qian could retort, Yuan Cang's gaze swept over, and Lei Qian immediately wilted, not daring to refute at all. He just focused his gaze on Chen Kui, determined that when he made his move, he would directly strike hard, defeating Chen Kui decisively and not letting that Ling Zhen guy interfere.
"Hehe, Yuan Gate is still that shameless Yuan Gate. Even bullying the few with the many can be said so grandly. If you're afraid, just admit it. Don't have to say you underestimated Yuan Gate. Just a bunch of Demon Spawn, yet you dare to be arrogant. You're truly blindly arrogant!"
Wang Yan wouldn't give Yuan Gate any face. Anyway, according to Eldest Senior Sister's instructions, after entering the Otherworldly Demon Domain, they could completely tear off the pretense, so he didn't bother to hide anything anymore. He should curse when he needed to curse. Anyway, this group of people was already dead. If he didn't curse now, he might not have the chance to curse later.
Ling Zhen's expression changed slightly after hearing Wang Yan's words, not because of what Wang Yan said, but because Wang Yan said it so bluntly, which surprised Ling Zhen somewhat.
But after the surprise, what followed was a burst of horror, because Wang Yan chose to expose this matter suddenly at this time, it was certainly not an impulsive act. If it was really impulsive, he would have exposed it directly in the Otherworldly Demon City.
Moreover, looking at the indifferent Ying Xiaoxiao beside Wang Yan, and the Sword Saint sitting aside, also without any movement, it could be seen that this was not Wang Yan's momentary impulse.
Then, there was only one possibility left, a possibility that made Ling Zhen feel cold all over!
Dao Sect had already planned to tear off the pretense, or rather, Dao Sect had already begun to prepare to deal with their Yuan Gate, at least, they had already thought of a way, and had already made preparations and arrangements to eliminate their Yuan Gate.
After figuring this out, Ling Zhen didn't hide anything, but instead frankly admitted what Wang Yan said.
"Hehe, not bad, so what? You simply don't know how powerful we have become. Even if you know, what can you do? Could it be that you think you can deal with us by joining forces?"
Ling Zhen said with a smile, his tone revealing an unspeakable confidence, as if he didn't take the top experts of the several super sects such as Ying Xiaoxiao and Ling Qingzhu into his eyes at all.
However, while saying this, Ling Zhen's peripheral vision would occasionally glance at Lin Xuan, who was standing there motionless, secretly observing Lin Xuan's reaction.
Yes, Ling Zhen's words seemed to be mocking Ying Xiaoxiao and others, but in reality, he was judging Lin Xuan's true strength through Lin Xuan's reaction.
If Lin Xuan showed any intention of making a move, it would mean that Lin Xuan's limitation should be that he couldn't unleash too much strength, or rather, Lin Xuan's strength was only at their stage, which was the Life Profound Realm, and most likely only the Lesser Success stage of the Life Profound Realm.
But if Lin Xuan's strength was actually higher, but he couldn't easily make a move, then they could also make corresponding changes.
In short, these words seemed to be directed at Wang Yan and others, but in reality, they were completely testing Lin Xuan, so as to judge his specific situation.
However, these little tricks were completely useless in Lin Xuan's eyes.
"Is that so?"
The calm voice had just been uttered, and the bodies of Ling Zhen, and even Yuan Cang, Lei Qian and many other Yuan Gate disciples, couldn't help but tremble, causing many experts to sneer.
These Yuan Gate bastards only dared to show off their power in front of them by relying on the power of the Three Great Sect Leaders of Yuan Gate. In front of stronger people, they were completely like obedient lapdogs, and they would tremble all over at the slightest cough.
Under the gaze of the Yuan Gate people, Lin Xuan slightly raised his eyes, his calm gaze making Yuan Cang, Ling Zhen and others feel a chill in their hearts.
"Since you have such powerful strength, why are you like a group of rats, only daring to hide in dark corners?"
The calm tone was not like questioning, but like stating a fact, making Ling Zhen's face turn pale, and he didn't dare to argue boldly at all.
When everyone heard this, the original trace of worry and fear also dissipated. So what if the Otherworldly Demons were powerful? Didn't they still lose back then? Weren't they still defeated by the experts of the ancient times? They only dared to hide behind the scenes, waiting for an opportunity to move.
And their Tianxuan Continent side, now had a peerless expert like the Sword Saint sitting in town. When the Sword Saint continued to grow and surpass the Ancient Eight Rulers, wouldn't the Otherworldly Demons be easily destroyed?
"That's right, if you want to fight, then why bother hiding? Let's go together!"
Ling Qingzhu, who was standing behind Lin Xuan, took the lead to speak. While speaking, she also took a step forward, and a faint chill instantly permeated the entire dark red basin. The temperature of the originally somewhat hot basin suddenly dropped a lot, causing many experts to change their expressions slightly.
Following Ling Qingzhu's actions, Su Rou, Dao Sect's Ying Xiaoxiao, Wang Yan, Lin Dong and others, who were standing behind her, all stepped forward, and the aura in their bodies pressed towards Yuan Cang and others.
Ling Zhen originally wanted to test Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan didn't take the bait at all. Ling Qingzhu and others directly put on a posture, which made Yuan Cang and others' faces become very ugly.
If they really had to fight at this moment, Yuan Cang and Ling Zhen were really not their opponents, especially since Dao Sect had already torn off the pretense. At this time, what their Yuan Gate had to deal with was not just a Dao Sect plus Taiqing Palace. The other four super sects would also contribute to helping Dao Sect while suppressing the Yuan Gate lackeys.
Faced with so many opponents, not a single Yuan Gate disciple could escape, they could be simply overwhelmed by the other side's numbers.
Even Life Profound Realm experts like Yuan Cang, Ling Zhen, and Lei Qian would find it impossible to escape when facing so many disciples from super sects. Especially with Ling Qingzhu and Ying Xiaoxiao watching from the side, and even that man present, Yuan Cang feared that even his life-saving treasures wouldn't be enough to protect him. After all, his life-saving treasures couldn't directly teleport him out of the Otherworldly Demon Domain.
Therefore, to survive, he had to release that Otherworldly Demon, thus adding enough weight to his side.
"Hmph, you all certainly have the advantage in numbers, but..."
Yuan Cang's expression was somewhat stern, but his words clearly indicated a softening. However, before Yuan Cang could finish speaking, a series of rumbling sounds suddenly came from the center of the basin, directly alarming everyone.
When everyone's attention shifted, they discovered that the space there was showing signs of distortion. In the distorted space, they could vaguely see the appearance of ancient palaces. An ancient and weathered aura of time rapidly permeated the entire basin.
"Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury!"
As the space distorted, many experts exclaimed in surprise. Yuan Cang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the sight.
"Hehe, if you all wish to open the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, I hope you can maintain sufficient calm. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't accidentally break the key!"
"Is that so? You're welcome to try. If you lose that talisman, let's see if any of you can walk out of here alive."
However, Yuan Cang was met with Lin Xuan's understated words. But just those words caused Yuan Cang's expression to become uncertain.
"Of course, you can also take a gamble and see if Tian Yuanzi's life-saving measures are faster, or my Sword is faster!"
Yuan Cang stared at the man before him. Meeting those calm, mirror-like eyes, a chill ran through his heart. He knew that this madman in front of him never made empty threats. He didn't dare hesitate and directly took out the key.
