Chapter 1656: Chapter 1676: I Like Dealing with Smart People_1

The battle had already ceased in the second stone chamber.

All disciples of Qishan Mei Wang Sect were slumped on the ground, resentment in their eyes.

Their Sea of Knowledge had been sealed by a secret method, making them no different from ordinary people at this moment.

Zhou Wu had a gloomy expression. He didn’t lose to the black-clothed youth, but he couldn’t resist the combined attack of others. He was eventually captured.

He had expected to seize all important treasures in the competition based on the number of disciples from Qishan Mei Wang Sect, but he didn’t expect to be the first one to be eliminated.

He deeply resented the black-clothed youth. If it weren’t for him, the crowd might not have been united and drawn in.

The black-clothed youth ignored the resentful and hateful gazes of the disciples of Qishan Mei Wang Sect on the ground. He said to the remaining people, "Now, it’s our turn. Considering our cooperation just now, if anyone doesn’t want to participate in the competition, they can choose to withdraw, seal their Sea of Knowledge temporarily, and sit aside. The remaining people won’t trouble them anymore, and when it ends, everyone will be taken away."

In the crowd, several injured adventurers, unable to fight anymore, walked out and chose to accept the seal on their Sea of Knowledge. After all, even if they continued to fight, they would surely be targeted and eliminated first. It’s better to give up and avoid worsening their injuries.

After the black-clothed youth confirmed that these people’s Sea of Knowledge had been sealed, he surveyed the crowd and his gaze fell on Lin Chen, an ominous glint in his eyes.

"You are with two others - one Earth Immortal and two Peak-True Immortals..."

With his simple words, the adventurers focused their attention on Lin Chen, their eyes piercing with undisguised hostility and eager anticipation.

Lin Chen sneered. This guy was a true master at manipulating people’s minds.

With a few words, he rallied all solo adventurers to defeat the powerful disciples of Qishan Mei Wang Sect, weakening the alliance and growing his own advantage.

Now, he was targeting him. Considering the situation, his group was now the most powerful team among the solo adventurers.

He was going to use the same strategy, rallying the crowd’s power to eliminate his biggest competitor.

"You used everyone to defeat potential rivals, weaken everyone else’s strength, and then stand out alone, winning the final victory. You’ve really become adept at this scheme of manipulating people!"

Lin Chen’s words shook many people, who instinctively looked at the black-clothed youth.

The black-clothed youth remained calm and replied coldly, "Yes, I do have a motive, but at least we are all on equal footing, aren’t we?"

Lin Chen laughed.

The youth’s thoughts indeed turned fast. He wasn’t wrong - he was openly using everyone’s weakness of being alone and unconfident, defeating all strong rivals with it.

Even if people understood this, they had no choice but to follow his lead. Otherwise, the minority would undoubtedly be eliminated first by the majority!

Rally!

Lin Chen casually pointed at the Sun Real Fire. "I won’t participate in the fight for the Sun Real Fire. You guys can do whatever you want and ignore us."

The black-clothed youth smirked, "Not participating in the fight, you think we’d believe that?"

Lin Chen replied indifferently, "Although treasures are precious, my life is more important. I just want to leave in peace, I don’t want to lose my life here."

Someone in the crowd responded cynically, "Aren’t you just buying time? As long as someone obtains the Sun Real Fire and inherits the Sun Scripture, the others can leave safely!"

Lin Chen glanced at him and responded calmly, "Being naive is indeed a bliss."

The man retorted angrily, "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Chen chuckled and sat cross-legged in a corner, "Like I said, I will not participate in the fight for the Sun Real Fire. You may do as you wish. But if you’re determined to eliminate me first, be prepared to be wiped out, both body and soul."

" I will not accept the fate of waiting for death with my Sea of Knowledge sealed. I may not be a match for all of you, but I can easily self-destruct my Primordial Spirit and drag some of you down with me."

"My speech is done, the choice is yours!"

Lin Chen’s words were not harsh, but everyone could sense a non-compromising determination in his composed tone, a readiness to burn jade and stone together.

Are they just trying to defeat him and remove his eligibility?

Are they really ready to self-destruct their Primordial Spirits and perish together?

This space is vast, but few could withstand the self-destruction of a Peak True Immortal!

Everyone hesitated for a moment and looked at the black-clothed youth.

The black-clothed youth stared at Lin Chen with furrowed brows. Lin Chen, on the other hand, remained calm, showing no hint of fear.

Suddenly, the black-clothed youth took a step forward.

Liu Yuqi and Fan Cuihong moved ahead and blocked his path, one on each side.

The black-clothed youth didn’t come closer. He just squatted on the spot.

"Want to chat?"

Lin Chen grinned, "Sure, you’re a smart man, and I like dealing with smart people..."
