681 A Troublesome Situation

Swoosh swoosh!

The sound of wind splitting continuously resounded over the skies above themines. Lin Dong’s group watched as numerous figures with powerful auras walkedthrough the skies towards them, before finally coming to a stop and hovering inthe skies above the mines.

Lin Dong’s watched the figures that had rushed over from the skies as hisexpression gradually turned solemn. He could sense a rather formidable andoppressive pressure from their bodies. Evidently, none of them were ordinaryindividuals.

“We are in trouble…” Yuan Fang’s face also gradually turned ugly because ofthese newcomers. Soon after, she clenched her teeth and softly whispered.

“Do you know these people?” Lin Dong softly inquired.

Yuan Fang laughed bitterly and said, “Look at the northern area, the one ingreen is called Xiao Tian. People call him the Eroding Demon Hand. He is fifthon the sects’ wanted list and an eight Yuan Nirvana stage expert…”

Lin Dong’s looked over and sure enough, he caught sight of a person clad ingreen. He appeared to be around thirty years old, was rather tall and had quitea handsome face. However, an evil aura lingered around him. At this moment,both his hands were placed behind his back, his gaze containing some suspicionas they locked onto Lin Dong’s group.

“That fellow to the south is known as Luo Yi. People call him the butcher. Heis ranked sixth on the sects’ wanted list and is also at the eight Yuan Nirvanastage.”

Lin Dong’s gaze shifted and was slightly taken aback. He saw a white clothedman that looked extremely scholarly. His face was pale and the so-calledbutcher nickname did not suit him at all.

However, Lin Dong would naturally not judge a book by its cover. Although thewhite clothed man wore a smile on his face, Lin Dong could sense a faint bloodyscent from the his body. One could tell that this fellow was quite a viciouscharacter.

“There are still a few who are quite infamous around the Blood Rock Grounds…”Yuan Fang bitterly said. It seemed like it would not be an easy matter tosuccessfully escape today.

Lin Dong sighed quietly within his heart. However, he did not panic. He hadexperienced far too much over the years. What kind of dangers had he not facedbefore? Although they were in a rather grave situation now, it was not so easyto force Lin Dong into a dead end.

While these thoughts swirled in Lin Dong’s mind, he suddenly felt somethingcold on his palm. A round ice cold object had been pushed into his palm,causing him to be startled. He was just about to speak when a pretty younglady’s face appeared in front of him.

“Lin Dong, you must bring the seed back no matter what.”

Ying Huanhuan gently bit down with her silver teeth. There was a resolve onher face that did not match her age. Clearly, she could also tell that thecurrent situation was quite dire.

Lin Dong knitted his brows slightly but did say anything. He merely flippedhis hand and stored the seed into his Qiankun bag, before he softly said,“Don’t worry. Things have not reached that stage yet. Even if the situationreaches that point, there is no need for a girl like you to bear that burden.”

“Hehe, can anyone tell me what just happened? What was the green light frombefore?”

Just as Lin Dong’s voice faded, the white clothed person in the distance, whomothers called the butcher, Luo Yi, grinned and asked Yuan Fang’s group.

Yuan Fang’s expression changed slightly but she did not reply. Clearly, shedid not wish to leak news of the Immortal Yuan Ancient Seed.

“Heh heh, I’ve heard it’s an Immortal Ancient Yuan Seed…” However, Su Lei fromthe Devil Seal Mass laughed in a strange manner while Yuan Fang remained quiet.He was not worried that the seed would be snatched by others should news of itbe leaked. Clearly, he had great confidence in the power of their group.

“You!” Yuan Fang expression changed drastically as fury surged within her eyes.

“Oh?”

An uproar broke out in the sky when his words sounded out, while greed surgedin the eyes of many. A person licked his lips and laughed, “It is unexpectedthat there would actually be such a treasure here…”

Luo Yi was similarly startled due to the so-called Immortal Yuan Ancient Seed.Immediately, an intrigued expression surfaced on his face. He stared at YuanFang and said, “I have never seen an Immortal Yuan Ancient Seed before. CouldMiss Yuan Fang kindly take it out and allow me to broaden my horizons?”

Yuan Fang’s expression turned cold. She was just about to speak when Lin Dongstepped out from beside her. He stared at Luo Yi but he did not say anythingunnecessary. Mental Energy spread out at lightning speed, quickly scanningeveryone’s faces.

“Brat, what are you doing?” Luo Yi was startled by Lin Dong’s action.Immediately, his eyes turned cold as he cried out.

Lin Dong ignored him. He waved his sleeve and his Mental Energy transformedinto numerous light curtains in front of him. On the light curtains were facesdrawn with Mental Energy. They belonged to Luo Yi’s and the rest.

Swoosh swoosh!

Lin Dong sleeves trembled. Numerous jade stones flew out. Promptly, heimprinted his Mental Energy with everyone’s faces into those jade stones. Witha wave of his hand, the hundred over jade stones flew into the hands of the DaoSect’s disciples below.

“Everyone, regardless of what happens today, as long as one person returns toDao Sect and hands the jade stone to the Elders, I think that they will knowwhat to do!”

Lin Dong’s low and deep voice spread out in the sky and was transmitted intoeveryone’s ears.

The expressions of the mob in the sky changed a little when they heard hiswords. Their eyes flickered and rapidly alternated between viciousness andhesitation.

Lin Dong’s tactic was truly vicious. He had directly imprinted the faces ofeveryone present and used the Dao Sect’s name as a deterrence. Although thepeople here were not ordinary individuals, the Dao Sect was one of the eightgreat super sects and one of the overlords of the Eastern Xuan Region. If thefury of the Dao Sect really poured down on them, it was likely that none ofthem had the ability to resist.

“What a ruthless fellow. However, aren’t you afraid that we will be equallyruthless and butcher all of you?” The corner of Luo Yi’s eyes twitched alittle. He stared directly at Lin Dong before he chuckled coldly.

“Come and try if you have the ability to do so!”

Lin Dong took a step forward, his expression immediately turning savage. Ashockingly vicious aura spread out from within his body, causing quite a numberthese ruthless characters, who had even taken lives before, to feel fearful.Why did this Dao Sect disciple seem even more vicious than them?

Beside him, Yuan Fang, Ying Huanhuan and the rest glanced at each other. Theycould clearly see the hesitation on their faces. All of them secretly sighed.It seems like in order to deal with these vicious characters, they had to beeven more ruthless than them.

“Heh, times are really changing. A mere five Yuan Nirvana stage brat actuallydares to act so arrogantly in front of me? Could it be that the disciplestaught by the Dao Sect these days all don’t know their limits?” A cruelexpression flashed across Luo Yi’s pale white face at this moment. His tone hadalso become sinister.

A short distance away, Su Lei and the others observed this scene with a coldsmile. However, they did not attack immediately.

“Everyone, all of you here are fairly famous individuals. Don’t tell me thatyou are actually intimidated by this brat?” Luo Yi turned his head. He lookedto the many figures hovering in the sky as he sneered.

Some people frowned when they heard his words. While varying thoughts ranthrough their minds, Xiao Tian, that green-clothed man nicknamed Eroding DemonHand slowly stepped forward.

The fifth on the sects’ wanted list had quite a solid reputation in thisplace. Hence, quite a number of people turned to look when he walked forward,and even Luo Yi’s eyes become a little more serious.

Yuan Fang and the rest looked at Xiao Tian with some anxiety. If the latterwas to attack them at this moment, the situation would be completelydisadvantageous to them.

“You are Ying Huanhuan right?” However, under the crowd’s attention, XiaoTian’s gaze paused on Ying Huanhuan before he slowly opened his mouth and asked.

Ying Huanhuan gently knitted her brows. There was some doubt in her eyes.Clearly, she did not recognise him.

“Although I should interfere in today’s matter given my character, I still oweyour sister Ying Xiaoxiao a favour from back then…” Xiao Tian spoke faintly.

Yuan Fang’s group sighed in relief when they heard his words. However, LuoYi’s and Su Lei’s expressions darkened.

“The Immortal Yuan Ancient Seed might be rare, but the Dao Sect is no pushovereither. I am unable to handle the weight of such an object. If you guys areinterested, go ahead and snatch it.” Xiao Tian’s indifferent gaze swept overeveryone before he suddenly withdrew. His manner clearly indicated that he hadno intention to interfere.

“Haha, it is unexpected that even you, Xiao Tian, would be afraid of the supersects…” Luo Yi coldly mocked.

Xiao Tian glanced at him. An icy glint flashed within his eyes but he did notrespond.

“Alright, since you lack the courage, I shall do it. I want to see just whatgives this arrogant brat the qualifications to utter such words in front of me!”

Luo Yi strided forward. His finger pointed towards Lin Dong. Immediately, hecurled it as a derisive smile appeared on his face.

“Brat, if you are able to handle ten attacks from me, I will no longerinterfere in this matter. What do you say?”

Lin Dong stared at Luo Yi. Immediately, a sinisterly cold arc slowly formed onhis face.
