There were Five Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage cultivators present, and the rest were all Low Rank Open Heaven Stage cultivators. Even though they had suffered some damage while trying to break through the Eight Armored Gate, there were still sixty or seventy of them.
When sixty or seventy people fought over three portions of Sun's True Gold, it was easy to imagine the blood and chaos that would ensue, and the chances of them dying here were extremely high. However, in the face of such a precious treasure, none of the Low Rank Open Heaven Stage backed down. On the contrary, when Old Hong said this, all of their expressions changed!
Amidst the uproar, the Low Rank Open Heaven Stage cultivators from the same force or acquaintances gathered together and secretly communicated with each other.
Old Hong calmly floated in the air and looked down, waiting quietly without any intention of urging.
After a long time, a person walked out from the crowd. Yang Kai, who was hiding in the shadows, glanced over and discovered that this person was Great Moon Province’s Wei Que.
Wei Que was a straightforward person, so it wasn’t strange for him to step forward at this time. First, he cupped his hands towards the several Mid Rank Open HEaven Stage masters and asked, “Old Hong, is what you just said true?”
Old Hong chuckled and pointed behind him, “Even if this friend doesn’t trust this old master, how could he not trust the people behind me? This matter was discussed by the few of us, so it’s naturally true.”
Wei Que said, “This Wei dares to ask one more question. If we, Low Rank Open HEaven Stage masters, were lucky enough to obtain a piece of Sun's True Gold, would you all still fight over it?”
These words hit the nail on the head. Once the restriction was broken, the five Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage masters would definitely be able to quickly collect their respective Sun's True Gold while the remaining Low Rank Open Heaven Stage masters would fight over the other three. However, if Old Hong and the others were to intervene now, the Low Rank Open Heaven Stage masters would only be able to stand aside, so who could compete with them?
If that was the case, he might as well not participate right now, lest he end up in a dangerous situation.
Old Hong looked at Wei Que and said, “This friend is thinking too much…”
Wei Que said, “If we don’t get to the bottom of this, we won’t feel at ease!”
These words caused many Low Rank cultivators to agree with him, and a burst of agreement rang out.
Old Hong nodded, “Since you’ve asked, this old master might as well tell you that we won’t interfere with the three portions of Sun's True Gold. If any of you have the ability, you can take it away.”
“How to guarantee?” Wei Que asked again.
A faint trace of anger flashed across Old Hong's face, “Isn’t this old master’s words a guarantee? With so many fellow Daoists present, this old master’s word has already been spoken, how can I go back on it?”
“Even if you go back on your word, we can’t do anything to you,” A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
“Who is it! Who is speaking? If you have the guts, step forward for this old master!” Old Hong was furious, but the voice just now was quite erratic, so it was obvious that the speaker had used some kind of Secret Technique. With so many Open Heaven Stage masters gathered together, Old Hong was unable to accurately find this person, causing his face to become extremely ugly.
At this moment, Madam Lan stepped forward and smiled at everyone, “How about I guarantee with my First Inn’s reputation? When the time comes, the few of us Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage will only take a single Sun's True Gold, and will not interfere no matter who wins the other three.”
When everyone heard this, their expressions all became serious. Wei Que cupped his hands and said, “Since it’s Madam Lan acting as a guarantor, there’s no problem.”
Everyone trusted the reputation of the First Inn.
Seeing this, Old Hong's expression became somewhat unsightly, as if he was a villain who went back on his word. Although he did have such a plan, he was afraid that it wouldn’t work now. Madam Lan had already brought up the reputation of the First Inn, so if he went back on his word again, he would only give Madam Lan an excuse to deal with him. Old Hong was still quite wary of this woman, he couldn’t figure out just what grade of Open HEaven she was, but at the very least, she was at the fifth grade. With such strength, he was definitely not her opponent.
With a cold snort, Old Hong said, “If there’s no problem, I’ll try my best to cooperate with you later. If anyone still doesn’t agree to this proposal, you can scram now, otherwise this old master won’t mind personally sending you off!”
Looking around with gloomy eyes, the group of Open Heaven Stage masters discussed amongst themselves for a while before some of them actually left. Obviously, they felt that continuing to stay here would be too risky. The Sun’s True Gold was indeed a precious treasure, but even if they were to take it, they would have to take it with their life. With sixty or seventy people fighting over three portions of Sun’s True Gold, who knew how many would die?
This time, more than a dozen people had left.
Old Hong waited for a dozen breaths before nodding, “Is there anyone else who wants to leave? If you want to leave, hurry up. If not, prepare to begin.”
At this time, no one would leave.
Madam Lan stepped forward and briefly explained the method to break the restriction to everyone present. After a while, a group of Low Rank Open Heaven Stage, led by five Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage, gathered around a high platform and formed a simple five-sided formation.
The method to break this restriction was to break it with brute force, which was why so many Low Rank Open Heaven Stage were needed. Otherwise, how could a few Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage be willing to split three portions of Sun's True Gold?
Each of them stood in their respective positions in the five side formation, silently adjusting their energy fluctuations.
Yang Kai watched from afar, his heart filled with helplessness as one plan after another flashed across his mind, but all of them were rejected by him. At this time, if he wanted to participate in the fight for treasures, strength was the greatest guarantee. Unfortunately, he was only an existence who had condensed his Dao Seal, so in front of a group of Open Heaven Stage masters, any schemes and plots were useless.
Yang Kai’s heart was filled with anxiety. Although he didn’t know what grade the Sun's True Gold on the high platform was, he knew that there were definitely Seventh Grade existences there. As long as he could obtain one, he would be able to condense the Fire Element.
However, this was just how sad it was to be weak. Even if he relied on the Space Laws and was able to snatch a portion of the Sun’s True Gold later, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to take it with him. At that time, if a group of people attacked him, even his Dragon Transformation physique wouldn’t be able to stop them.
Could it be that he could only watch? Yang Kai was filled with unwillingness!
Looking from afar, Yang Kai suddenly noticed that Madam Lan seemed to be glancing towards him intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn’t pay much attention to him. After all, with his strength, it was difficult for her to place him in her eyes.
He had definitely been discovered, and he had been discovered in the passageway before. The reason the other party had not exposed him was probably because his strength was too low.
Just as Yang Kai was feeling depressed, the five side formation on the other side had already begun operating. Five MId Rank Open Heaven Stage each occupied a position, with at least ten Low Rank Open Heaven Stage behind them.
The aura of the World Force surged out as the Open Heaven Stage opened up a new world inside his body. Every Open HEaven Stage cultivator had their own Small Universe World, which allowed them to use the World Force without borrowing the World Force of heaven and earth.
As soon as this move was made, it was as if dozens of worlds were colliding with the restriction, causing a loud rumbling sound to ring out as the violent force was enough to overturn the world and shatter the four poles.
Yang Kai, who was watching from afar, couldn’t help thinking about the power of his Open Heaven Stage in the future.
Fortunately, the strength of these few Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage masters was quite extraordinary. With them leading the five side formation, they were able to unite everyone’s strength to the greatest extent and not cause much of the aftershock to leak out. Otherwise, even if Yang Kai had Shadowless Gauze, he would still be forced to reveal himself.
Boom boom boom…
The earth shook and the mountains shook. The red light curtain on the high platform rippled, as if countless stones had been thrown into a calm lake.
The difference in strength between each of them quickly became apparent. The Low Rank Open Heaven Stage that were used to assist in breaking the restriction couldn’t be seen, but the five Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage leading them were obvious.
The young girl Yuan Xiaoman was the first to show signs of weakness, her pretty face slightly pale as she took out a few pills from her Space Ring and stuffed them into her mouth, silently refining them.
Next was Ji Tian Xing, Zhang Qi, and finally Old Hong.
At this moment, the strength of the First Inn's Proprietress, Madam Lan, was fully displayed. From the moment she began breaking the restriction, her complexion had not changed much, not to mention consuming Spirit Pills to replenish her energy.
She seemed to be able to maintain this intensity until the end of time.
From a distance, Yang Kai observed her expression and noticed that the Proprietress's eyes would occasionally glance towards a certain spot on the high platform. At first, Yang Kai didn’t know what was going on, but after a flash of inspiration, he immediately realized that the quality of the Sun's True Gold there was quite good.
Although no one was able to determine what grade this Sun's True Gold was under the cover of the barrier, everyone still had some guesses.
The fact that the lady boss was so interested in the Sun's True Gold there undoubtedly meant that she felt that the Sun's True Gold there was the best. Once the restriction was broken, it was likely she would directly snatch it.
Moreover… there was something else that Yang Kai was extremely concerned about.
Compared to the Sun’s True Gold, this Golden Crow’s corpse was also a precious treasure! This Golden Crow’s corpse was so complete, its value was absolutely immeasurable! It was just that everyone had only discussed how to distribute the Sun’s True Gold, no one had mentioned the Golden Crow’s corpse.
However, Yang Kai was certain that this Golden Crow’s corpse would definitely cause a fierce battle, and it was highly likely that the four Mid Rank masters would join forces to fight over this Golden Crow’s corpse with the Proprietress.
But no matter what, if he didn’t have the strength, what happened here had nothing to do with him.
Fortunately, the harvest this time was not small. He obtained a total of nine portions of Sun's True Fire, three of which were fifth-grade.
Taking this opportunity to watch a good show and broaden his horizons! Yang Kai made up his mind and immediately relaxed.
Time slowly passed. Besides Madam Lan, all the Open Heaven Stage masters present, including the other four Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage masters, had taken many pills.
The hard work they had put in was not in vain. The color of the red light barrier on the high platform began to dim. If it had been red before, it was now a faint red.
At this rate, it would only take another two or four hours to break this restriction.
Seeing hope, Old Hong shouted excitedly, “Everyone, put in more effort, don’t hold back anymore, this barrier is about to break.”
There was no need for him to remind them. Everyone had seen the changes in the light barrier, so they naturally knew this, but they still had to conserve their strength. After all, once the restriction was broken, there would still be a battle.
If not for this, this restriction would have been broken long ago, why would it have needed to wait until now?
