771 Getting Someone Else to do One’s Dirty Work

“It seems that most of the people who entered Unique Devil Region this timehave come here…” Ying Xiaoxiao watched the locust like human figures shuttlingwithin the enormous basin and said as surprise flashed across her eyes.

“Although there were quite a number people who came here in past competitions,the numbers have never reached such a scale. It seems that everyone has come inhopes of getting a share after hearing that Yuan Gate seems to be confident inopening the Burning Sky Ancient Stash.”

Lin Dong nodded slightly. There was some surprised within his heart. Althoughhe was unaware of just what use the light tablet formed from the melted coppercauldron had, it was definitely related to the Burning Sky Ancient Stash.However, could it be that Yuan Gate had also obtained something similar to thislight tablet of his?

“Let’s head over too.”

Ying Xiaoxiao’s eyes looked towards the middle of the bright red basin. Afterwhich, her body rushed forward while Lin Dong and the rest immediately followedbehind.

After approaching this middle area, Lin Dong’s group could clearly sense quitea number of powerful hidden presences begin to appear. It seemed that thisplace was truly filled with hidden experts. There were quite a number of nineYuan Nirvana stage experts present.

“As expected, the other super sects have all arrived.”

Lin Dong’s eyes suddenly swept over certain spots in the central area. Hecould see a few large groups of people. These people were all disciples of theother super sects. Even those from Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace wereamongst them.

After the appearance of this large group of disciples that included Lin Dong,many eyes from the area began to shift over. However, mocking expressions thatsuggested that they were watching a show involuntarily flashed across the facesof these people when they saw the former.

Everyone knew that Yuan Gate would definitely be present at this Burning SkyAncient Stash. From the way they saw it, these Dao Sect disciples, who had anextremely deep grudge with Yuan Gate, should think of ways to avoid this placeinstead. However, from what they could see, it was obvious that the Dao Sectdisciples did not do so…

Hence, the Dao Sect disciples would definitely meet the Yuan Gate disciples. Agood show would likely be unavoidable at that time.

“It’s big brother Lin Dong.”

Su Ruo, who was with the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace disciples, gazedat Dao Sect disciples flying over from far away. Joy immediately surged on herface.

“The Dao Sect disciples have also come huh…” Ling Qingzhu also raised her headand looked in the same direction. Immediately, she knitted her brows slightly.After which, her gaze turned towards most central spot in the area. A largegroup of people were quietly seated there and gave off a faint but astonishingundulation. Those were the disciples from Yuan Gate.

“I wonder just what these fellows are thinking. Don’t they know that Yuan Gatewould also be here? And yet they still swaggered over in such a manner. Do theyreally think that Yuan Cang and the two are kind individuals?” A handsome manstood behind Ling Qingzhu. He was called Wu Qun and was also one of the topexperts amongst the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace younger generation. Hehad seen the confrontation between Lin Dong and Lei Qian at Treasure SeekingDistrict back then. Similarly, he had also seen the subsequent exchange betweenLin Dong and Ling Qingzhu. Although the latter still appeared indifferent, hewas able to sense an unusual fluctuation under Ling Qingzhu’s calmness due tohim being acquainted with her for many years.

This fluctuation of Ling Qingzhu’s state of mind caused Wu Qun to feelsomewhat uncomfortable. This was because he was clearly aware that such asituation rarely occurred for Ling Qingzhu.

“Big brother Lin Dong is definitely not a reckless person. He will giveserious consideration to whatever action he takes. Since he dares to bring theDao Sect disciples over, he is definitely not afraid of Yuan Gate making thingsdifficult for them.” Su Ruo involuntarily retorted after Wu Qun spoke.

The opponents that Lin Dong had met in the Ancient Battlefield back then alsofar surpassed them in terms of strength. There were many people who weregloating just like how it was at this moment. Each time however, that youngman, who had merely come from a low rank empire, was able to survive with asmile on his face. Behind him was a bloody aura that rose to the skies.

Although Su Ruo had currently joined Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, SuRuo still believed that the skinny figure, who had led her and her elderbrother to walk out from Wanxiang City and eventually stood at the peak of theHundred Empire Mountain, was the one person in this world that could not beshaken…

She firmly believed that no one in this world would truly be able to knockdown that figure.

“Don’t tell me that you think that he will be able to exchange blows with thethree little kings?” Wu Cao smiled faintly. He had seen the face off betweenLin Dong and Lei Qian back then. Although the latter was forced to withdraw ina dejected manner at that time, it was due to his earlier boasting. If the twowere to directly face each other, Wu Cao did not believe that Lin Dong wouldtruly be able to contend against Lei Qian.

Su Ruo was stunned for a moment. The current her was after all no longer thattimid young lady from back then. Therefore, she was clearly aware of thestrength of the three little kings from Yuan Gate. However, after somehesitation, she seriously nodded and said, “Big brother Lin Dong is not afraidof them!”

“Perhaps.”

Wu Qun shrugged his shoulders noncommittally. Given his status, there wereseldom any disciples within Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace who dared toargue with him. However, this Su Ruo in front of him was clearly not withinthis category. Although she had joined Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace forless than a year, the improvement in her strength could be consideredfrightening. Moreover, he was also aware that if the latter was to really goall out, it was likely that only Ling Qingzhu amongst the younger generation ofthe entire Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace would be able to subdue her.

Ling Qingzhu quietly listened to the argument between the two. The extent towhich Su Ruo worshipped Lin Dong caused even her to be a little surprised. Shecould be considered to have some understanding of this junior sister, whosereputation within Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace was currently soaring.Although her character was weak when she had just arrived, her heart clearlyhad a certain persistence. Although Su Ruo was usually quite respectful towardsher, it was far from the blind worship of Lin Dong that she had…

Of course, being unaware of what happened during the Hundred Empire War backthen, she was naturally unable to understand this. The pair of siblings, whohad been chased after by others to the point of not daring to even enterWanxiang City had met three people at a bonfire during that icy cold night. Atthat moment, the gentle and friendly smile on the face of the skinny young manwas akin to salvation towards this pair of sibling, who were had almost falleninto despair…

……

The Dao Sect disciples slowly landed in the middle area before the eyes fromall over the place. Their eyes briefly swept around and coincidentally lookedtowards a spot right at the front. It was the place where the Yuan Gatedisciples were

“We have indeed encountered them…”

Lin Dong narrowed his eyes. There was little surprise within them. Clearly, hehad expected such a situation.

Ying Xiaoxiao gave a hand signal. The many Dao Sect disciples began to sitdown and recuperate. However, there was caution within their eyes. They werescattered apart in an orderly manner. If anything happened, they would be ableto immediately form a formation and meet their enemy in battle. The effect ofthe training over the past ten days was clearly rather substantial.

“Everyone be careful.” Lin Dong softly whispered to Ying Huanhuan beside him.

“Yes.”

Ying Huanhuan nodded. She spread her hand and a jade green zither appeared ina flash. Her appearance was also that of someone waiting cautiously.

Soon after Lin Dong’s group had landed, numerous rushing wind sounds suddenlyappeared. Lin Dong raised his head, only to be momentarily startled. This wasbecause that person who had come was actually Xue Ling from Sword Sect whomthey had met some time before.

Lin Dong’s group frowned slightly when they saw him. Could it be that thisfellow was still bearing a grudge towards them because of the matter from lasttime?

“Heh heh, it’s surprising that you have all managed to escape from the demoncorpses. Your abilities are not bad.” Xue Ling landed from the air.Immediately, his eyes looked towards Lin Dong’s group with some surprise as helaughed.

Seeing that Xue Ling did not appear to be hostile towards them, Lin Dong’sexpression also warmed a little. He smilingly said, “Brother Xue is also quiteskilled. Those two demon corpses were not easy to deal with.”

“*Sigh*, we were not able to deal with them. We were helplessly chased for along time, and having no other choice, we drew them towards a place with manypeople before secretly fleeing…” Xue Ling spoke in a helpless manner.

Lin Dong’s group immediately exchanged glances when they heard this. Thisfellow was really ruthless. When he realized that he could not resolve thematter himself, he had actually used others as a diversion. Those whom thedisaster had been lured towards were truly unfortunate. No one knew if theymanaged to finish off the two demon corpses in the end…

“However, all of you are quite bold. You are aware that Yuan Gate is here, yetyou have still come…”

Xue Ling looked towards the direction of Yuan Gate in the distance. Afterwhich, he said, “On the account of you having the intention to share theMysterious Life Bone Beads equally last time, I shall remind you as a friendthat Yuan Gate will definitely come and clear this place later. All of youshould be careful. Give in a little if there is no other choice. Do not letthings end up like the last Great Sect Competition…”

“Thanks.” Lin Dong cupped his hands together towards Xue Ling and smilinglysaid.

Xue Ling cupped his hands together and did not speak any further. He led acouple of Sword Sect disciples to return to the area where they had been at.

Lin Dong’s eyes suddenly narrowed after Xue Ling left. This was because he sawtwo disciples stepping away from the Yuan Gate area. After which, they walkedtowards two factions that seemed to be considered super sects, but had yet toreach the level of the eight great super sects.

Soon after, the two groups began to stand up. They slowly marched towards theDao Sect disciples in plain sight. From the looks of it, they bore ill intent.

“Getting someone else to do your dirty work huh…”

Lin Dong lowered his eyelids. A cold gleam bubbled within his eyes.
