782 Confirmation

Sha sha.

The Yuan Cang trio slowly appeared from the other side of the altar. In theend, they stopped some distance away from Lin Dong.

Yuan Cang’s face was indifferent. Only when he saw Ling Qingzhu beside LinDong, did a faint disturbance appear in his eyes. However, soon after, his eyesturned increasingly dark and solemn as he stared at Lin Dong.

“Lin Dong, it seems like even the heavens do not wish to give you an easytime. How long has it been? To think that you have actually sent yourselfdirectly to our doorstep.” Little Thunder King Lei Qian’s gaze was filled withbitter resentment as he stared at Lin Dong. His expression was still a littlepale, however, it was much better than before. Clearly, he had brought alongsome extremely effective healing medicine.

Little Spirit King Ling Zhen gaze was also a little ominous as he stared atLin Dong. The foldable fan in his hand shook gently. Overall, he looked asthough he had come with ill intent.

Lin Dong stared at the Yuan Cang trio as his expression turned a little ugly.Clearly, he had not expected to actually encounter them here. This wasdefinitely not an ideal situation for him. If the Yuan Cang trio were to joinforces, it would definitely be very difficult…

“Your ability to locate this place has truly taken me by surprise…” Yuan Canglooked at Lin Dong. He did not attack immediately. Instead, he merely spoke inan indifferent voice.

They were able to reach this place quickly because they held quite a lot ofinformation related to the Burning Sky Ancient Stash. However, Yuan Cang didnot expect that Lin Dong would actually reach this place soon after theyarrived…

“This is where the central hub that controls this formation is located,right?” Lin Dong shrugged. His gaze turned towards that large stone altar as hespoke.

Lin Dong’s eyes narrowed slightly as he sized up the large stone altar. Hisfinger involuntarily drew past his palm. He could sense that the stone talismanwithin his body was emitting a strange fluctuation at this moment…

“This altar…”

Lin Dong lifted his head and his gaze turned towards the sky above the altar.The space there appeared to be bright red in colour. His eyes flickered asthough he sensed something.

“Qingzhu, how are you?”

While Lin Dong was observing the area, Yuan Cang’s eyes turned towards LingQingzhu as a gentle smile surfaced on his face. Though he was not veryhandsome, his face had a unique taste to it. When he smiled, it gave one arefreshing feeling.

Ling Qingzhu inclined her head. She glancd at Lin Dong beside her and said,“Does senior brother Yuan Cang know where we are now?”

“This is the Burning Sky Array of the Burning Sky Ancient Stash. It is theguardian of the ancient stash. Everyone who enters the ancient stash will fallinto this Burning Sky Array. Haha. However, this Burning Sky Array has yet tobe activated. Otherwise, even we will not be able to reach this place.” YuanCang spoke smilingly.

“Burning Sky Array…”

Lin Dong’s eyes focused slightly. This formation was already so powerfulbefore it had been activated? What if it was activated? Just how powerful wouldit be then?

“Currently, everyone who entered the Burning Sky Ancient Stash has beentrapped in this Burning Sky Array. Don’t worry, Qingzhu. After I take controlof the formation, I will ensure that the disciples from Nine Heavens SupremePurity Palace will not face any harm.” Yuan Cang laughed.

“Of course, some creatures that do not know how to appreciate kindness willlikely be burnt into ashes in this Burning Sky Array…” Lei Qian laughedsinisterly.

Lin Dong’s expression immediately turned dark and cold when he heard thesewords. His eyes were maliciously dark as he stared at Yuan Cang trio and said,“If anything happens to my Dao Sect disciples, I’m afraid that your Yuan Gatedisciples can forget about walking out of this Unique Devil Region alive!”

“Such arrogant words. Even Zhou Tong back then wasn’t as arrogant as you. Justwho do you think you are!” Ling Zhen’s eyes turned cold as he laughedchillingly.

“It is unexpected that you still have the courage to utter such haughty wordsat this moment… don’t tell me that you think that the current you actuallypossess the qualifications to behave in such an arrogant fashion?” A cold smilealso surfaced on Yuan Cang’s face as he stared at Lin Dong and mocked.

“Boss, let’s finish off this brat here to prevent any further troubles.” LeiQian laughed sinisterly. His eyes were filled with bitterness and resentment.

A chill flickered within Yuan Cang’s eyes. Immediately, he nodded slightly.Now that Lin Dong had coincidentally landed in their laps, it was the bestopportunity for them to finish him off.

Killing intent surged within Lei Qian and Ling Zhen’s eyes when they saw YuanCang nod. Their bodies immediately moved and formed a semicircle formation,surrounding Lin Dong in the process. From the looks of it, they intended tojoin hands and swiftly finish off Lin Dong…

Lin Dong’s expression sunk slightly as he watched this scene, while the YuanPower within his body began to circulate. With his current strength, a battleagainst Lei Qian alone was already difficult. Now that the three little kingsof Yuan Gate were going to join forces, regardless of how much confidence hehad, he knew that this was not going to be easy.

The Yuan Cang trio floated up in the air. An unusually majestic Yuan Powerfluctuation slowly swept out as a heavy pressure covered Lin Dong.

Lin Dong waved his hand and a demon corpse appeared in front of him. Now thatit came to this, it was likely that he had to use his various trump cards…

Just as Lin Dong took out his demon corpse and prepared to engage in a massivefight with the three little kings, a fragrant breeze blew from behind him. Hewas stunned to see Ling Qingzhu suddenly move to stand in front of him.

“Qingzhu? What does this mean?” Yuan Cang demanded in a deep voice. His eyeschanged when he saw Ling Qingzhu standing in front of Lin Dong.

“Senior brother Yuan Cang, the reason I was able to come to this place isbecause Lin Dong was leading the way, hence, I owe him a favor. Therefore, ifyou wish to attack him now, I am afraid that I will not idly standby.” LingQingzhu’s veil trembled slightly. Her cool voice appeared to have suppressedeven the heat of this place.

When that alluring voice was transmitted into Lin Dong’s ears, even he wasstunned. Clearly, he did not expect that Ling Qingzhu would actuallyvoluntarily step forward. Moreover, her reason for helping him clearly did notpossess much conviction. This was because Lin Dong still owed her from fiveyears ago…

Yuan Cang’s expression gradually turned unusually dark and solemn. Thereappeared to be a thunderbolt of fury surging deep within his eyes. Ling Qingzhuhad actually stepped forward to protect Lin Dong. This clearly a blow to hisusually indifferent self…

Ling Zhen and Lei Qian also glanced at Yuan Cang at this moment. They wereclearly aware that the latter fancied Ling Qingzhu. Although there was noprogress between the two of them during these two years, Yuan Cang undoubtedlysaw Ling Qingzhu as his woman. Yet, Ling Qingzhu had stepped forward to protectLin Dong…

The two of them exchanged glances before they chuckled coldly. They knew thatit might still alright if Ling Qingzhu did not step forward. Now that she did,it was likely that Yuan Cang would definitely kill Lin Dong…

“Lin Dong, are you going to hide behind a woman?” Yuan Cang stared at Lin Dongin a dark and solemn manner as he slowly said.

Lin Dong’s eyes were a little dark. He sighed softly a moment later before heslowly walked past Ling Qingzhu.

Ling Qingzhu knitted her brows slightly as she watched Lin Dong walk past her.She spoke in a faint voice, “After these five years of training, you shouldunderstand the importance of survival even more than I do. Trying to act toughfor a moment may salvage your pride, but from the way I see it, it is extremelyshort sighted. It is likely that I will have to withdraw the complement I gaveyou previously.”

Lin Dong’s footsteps paused. He silently contemplated for a moment beforeturning around. As he looked at the veiled face, which could cause the downfallof a country, he smilingly replied, “Didn’t you ask me how I was able to reachsuch a place in merely five years? The answer is very simple. It was because Itold myself back then I will only allow a woman to save me once in my life…”

“Additionally, I do not like to act tough. I know how powerful the three ofthem are. However… you should also know that the current me is also no longerthat weak fellow from five years ago…”

“If they want to kill me, the price to pay will be so expensive that they willnot be able to afford it…”

Ling Qingzhu gazed at the young man as a grin appeared on his face. Her pearlywhite teeth gently bit her lips. The young man from back then was petty andweak. When faced a Ling Langtian he could not contend against, he chose toswallow his pride and endure humiliation. Ultimately however, he let realitytell those people that the one who had the final laugh, was the one who was themost successful…

The reason why she showed compassion to Lin Dong and gave up on killing thisyoung man, who had disgraced her, was not because she had discovered a stunningpotential within him. Neither was it because of pity. The biggest reason wasbecause of the tolerance that this young man displayed when he was unable tocontend against Lin Langtian.

She could see Lin Dong’s current success. However, from his words, she couldalso sense the various bitterness concealed within those years of training…

Ling Qingzhu clear eyes drooped slightly as she withdrew the complicatedemotions within her eyes. Finally, she shook her head and did not say anything.

“A price we cannot afford? Are you certain you are not crazy?” Yuan Canglooked down at Lin Dong from high above and sneered.

However, Lin Dong merely smiled faintly and nodded in the face of his sneer.His hands were clenched under his sleeve. Two grey stone beads had quietlyappeared between his slender fingers as an obscure fluctuation that could notbe described quietly surged.

“I am certain… do you want to give it a try?”

Lin Dong lifted his head, a brilliant smile on his face as he stared at theYuan Cang trio. Craziness faintly surged within his smile.
