778 Confrontation (1/2)

In a flash, numerous people stood in confrontation in the sky. Majestic YuanPower soared up towards the heavens, causing the atmosphere to be strainedwhile sparks swiftly arose from the tense atmosphere.

The originally noisy area had also rapidly became deathly silent. The membersof many factions stared at the sky as caution appeared within their eyes. Theywere clearly worried that they would be implicated when the battle started.

“Chen Gui, are you really intending on interfering with the grudge between myYuan Gate and the Dao Sect?” Yuan Cang’s expression was a little gloomy as hegazed at Chen Gui who was blocking him. A cold tone was flowing in his lowvoice.

“I was assigned this task.” Chen Gui merely smiled faintly and said in theface of these threatening words.

“Lin Dong, our Yuan Gate will be an irreconcilable enemy if you kill LeiQian!” Ling Zhen kept the foldable fan in his hand. His eyes were staringintently at Lin Dong, who had grabbed Lei Qian by the throat, as he slowlyspoke.

“Isn’t it already the case now?” Lin Dong smiled as he said. His young andsomewhat pale face seemed to be unusually cold in the eyes of Ling Zhen and theYuan Gate disciples.

“Lin Dong, are you planning to start a war with our Yuan Gate here?”

Yuan Cang lowered his eyelids. His hand slowly tightened its grip on hissword. There appeared to be a strange grey glow rising deep within his eyes.“Believe me, that ending is not something that you would wish to see… even withChen Gui’s aid…”

Yuan Cang lifted his face, which could not be considered handsome, afterspeaking. An unusually dark, cold, and bloodthirsty arc was lifted on his face.“Do not force my hand. Otherwise, Chen Gui will not be able to stop me.”

Lin Dong’s pupils shrunk at this moment. He stared at Yuan Cang. For someunknown reason, a slight unease had began swelling in his heart.

“Oh? In that case, I now really wish to give it a try.” Chen Gui laughedfaintly. A chilling aura surfaced on his face which was wearing a ghost maskwhen he heard Yuan Cang’s words.

“Is that so?”

Yuan Cang’s eyes became increasingly dark. Ling Zhen and the others alsoleaned their bodies forward after appearing to sense the hostility in YuanCang’s tone. An unusually majestic Yuan Power fluctuation spread out in a wavelike manner.

In response to this, the faces of Ying Xiaoxiao, Wang Yan and the remainingDao Sect disciples behind Lin Dong immediately tensed up.

Bang bang!

A rumbling sound was suddenly emitted from the middle of the basin while bothparties were facing-off against each other in such a hostile atmosphere.Countless eyes were shocked as they turned towards that spot. After which, theysaw that a slight distortion had appeared in that space. Numerous unusuallyancient halls seemed to vaguely appear within the distorted space. An ancientaura that could only be formed by the accumulation of time seeped out from thespace and spread over the entire area.

“Burning Sky Ancient Stash!”

Many wild joyous exclamations sounded out following the appearance of thisusual phenomenon. After which, those many pairs of eyes had suddenly becamefiery hot and greedy.

They did not gather here to watch a fight between Yuan Gate and Dao Sect.Their aim was the Burning Sky Ancient Stash that was hidden here!

Earlier, they had placed their attention on the fight between both partiesbecause they were waiting. Now that the main course had appeared, they hadnaturally begun to shift their attention.

“The ancient stash is about to appear huh…” Lin Dong’s narrowed eyes lookedtowards the distorted space. He did not expect that it would appear at thismoment.

Although space was being distorted, everyone could see the vaguely visibleancient halls inside. However, this space had yet to show signs of beingcompletely opened. It seemed to be lacking a key…

Every gaze in the place was finally thrown towards Yuan Cang without any prioragreement. The reason they had come was because they had obtained news thatYuan Gate would be able to open the ancient stash this time around. Given thesituation at this moment, it seemed that it would be up to Yuan Gate to openthis ancient stash…

Yuan Cang had clearly also sensed the gathering of these gazes. Immediately,his eyes flickered as he spoke indifferently, “Lin Dong, our aim this time isthe Burning Sky Ancient Stash. Only if you release Lei Qian will our Yuan Gatebe able to open the ancient stash and allow everyone to share the treasuresinside. If you continue to be stubborn, it is likely that no one will be ableto open this ancient stash today. At that time, you will end up angeringeveryone. I believe that you will not be able to bear this burden.”
