Chapter 2080: Chapter 2100: Live With Background, Die Without Background?_1

What Lin Chen spoke was a harsh reality.

Even though my life is controlled by you, if I just instantly killed you in a fraction of a second, wouldn’t that make you unable to manipulate me? Wouldn’t everything be okay then?

Even though you hold my True Soul in your hands and can kill me with a mere thought, what happens if you don’t even get a chance to think before you’re killed instantly?

Nangong Night had considered this tactic. After all, he was at the second realm of the Great Luo, whereas Lin Chen was only at the Fairy stage. His strength, if used for a surprise attack, could kill a Fairy in an instant, couldn’t it?

However, the more he came to understand, especially after witnessing the power of the Linglong Tower and the tactics of Lin Chen, Nangong Night completely abandoned this idea.

Lin Chen had the audacity to promise himself, instead of forcing Nangong Night to submit to his wife or disciples. This meant he must have a firm grip on the situation.

If he, Nangong Night, couldn’t guarantee a single strike killing Lin Chen, then Lin Chen would kill him within fractions of a second.

It’s pointless!

Leaving aside how strong Lin Chen is, he wasn’t the kind of person to hold grudges or be petty. On the contrary, he was magnanimous.

Even though Nangong Night was under his control, Lin Chen treated him well. While this certainly was because Lin Chen wanted to win him over, it also fit with his character.

Nangong Night had doubted following Lin Chen, considering Lin’s considerably lower status. However, at this moment, Nangong Night was filled with renewed vigor.

The Tomb of the Dragon Chant!

It was an enormous opportunity!

If he could gain this opportunity, his destiny would experience a significant change!

If he could practice the cultivation technique of the Dragon Chant, he was confident that he could surpass that man!

Nangong Night, being so young had already reached the Shattered Illusion Realm, which proved his demonic talents for cultivation. However, by practicing the Reincarnation Scripture, it had set a limit for his potential. No matter how hard he tried, perhaps the peak of Daluo Mysterious Immortal would be his limit, and surpassing that man was impossible.

But now, he saw hope.

The Heavenly One Sect had received the inheritance of one of the two kings, which wasn’t much superior than the inheritance of the Three Majesties. If he could gain the inheritance of the Three Majesties, coupled with his talent, Nangong Night was confident that he would surpass that man one day!

He was very eager.

Lin Chen watched the fiery enthusiasm in Nangong Night’s eyes and smiled, saying: "Don’t be in a hurry, let’s just watch first."

Lin Chen cast the Water Mirror Technique, and the scene from within the valley instantly appeared before his eyes.

He was different from people like Xiao Shubo. He had three Great Luo, including one in the second realm, and a lifesaving Linglong Tower, so he could watch.

He could watch, run when danger erupted, and maybe even counter-attack. But if Xiao Shubo and others encountered danger, they would be absolutely finished!

More and more people and powerhouses were gathering in the valley.

As more people were drawn into this deep valley due to the irresistible attraction of the Tomb of the Dragon Chant, the information about it spread out increasingly.

Because of the deaths of two people earlier, nobody at the scene dared to disturb the tomb anymore. They could only gather together and watch while whispering to each other.

It’s not like there weren’t intelligent people. Because more and more people were arriving, yet some people left after understanding the situation. Perhaps they were worried about being forced to disturb the tomb if they stayed.

The vast majority of the remaining people had also thought about this possibility. Yet they either thought that amongst so many people, nobody would dare to incur public wrath, or they believed with their strong sect background, even the Five Directions Immortal Sect wouldn’t dare to use them as cannon fodder.

The number of adventurers on the scene increased, gradually reaching over a thousand. At this time, most of the Five Directions Immortal Sect’s people had arrived as well.

The leaders of the Five Directions Immortal Sect gathered to discuss in low voices.

Soon, they finished discussing. As they looked over at everybody in the field, their eyes held more coldness and murderous intent than before.

Without making a sound, the strongmen of the Five Directions Immortal Sect, as per the directives of the leader, had quietly positioned themselves strategically, effectively blocking all escape routes for everyone.

This scene terrified everyone on the spot.

They had anticipated this possibility, but they hadn’t expected the Five Directions Immortal Sect to actually dare do it.

The crowd immediately erupted into chaos.

"What do you want to do, are you really going to force us to grave rob?"

"Have you lost your minds, aren’t you afraid of opposing all the sects?"

"We must unite, otherwise, we only have one path: to death."

"If they dare to act, we should fight back together. We are numerous, do we really need to be afraid of them?"

In face of the chaotic crowd, the Five Directions Immortal Sect members remained calm, their eyes even filled with deep mockery.

If you really had the courage, you would have run away long ago. Why have you become preys now?

Just wait obediently for your death.

If you must blame something, blame your bad luck.

If you must blame something, blame your greed.

"You want us to help you open the tomb, this is sheer wishful thinking..."

An adventurer stood up indignantly, loudly criticizing the tyranny of the Five Directions Immortal Sect. However, before he could finish his words, his body exploded instantly, turning into a mist of blood.

Everybody was terrified, staring at the scene with horror in their eyes.

One of the Five Directions Immortal Sect members flew out and coldly said, "Cooperate with us to open the tomb and you can survive. Moreover, we will admit you into the sect and reward you heavily. However, whoever does not cooperate or tries to escape, will die!"

As soon as this statement came out, the crowd was thrown into chaos, yet no one dared to try to escape, as strong members of the Five Directions Immortal Sect guarded around them.

Whoever flees shall die!

A middle-aged man flew out, nervously saying, "I am Zhong Bai, a disciple of the Crane Sect. If I die, my sect will not let this go..."

The man floating in mid-air coldly replied, "Prove?"

The middle-aged man quickly produced his sect token and raised it high up: "This is my identity token..."

The man beckoned, and the token dropped into his hand. When the Crane Sect man was extremely nervous, thinking that he was certain to die, the man threw the token back to him.

"Go!"

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened in surprise.

Can I leave?

He didn’t dare to say more, let alone ask any questions. He caught the token, turned around, and flew away. As expected, the powerful members of the Five Directions Immortal Sect did not stop him.

This scene caused wide-eyed shock among everyone.

"What the hell, he actually left?"

"The Crane Sect, that is a top-tier force. Although it can’t compare with the Five Directions Immortal Sect, it isn’t far behind. The Five Directions Immortal Sect let him go, they probably didn’t want to cause any troubles."

"He was allowed to leave, but can we leave?"

"What do you think? Haven’t you understood yet? They’re implementing a strategy of ’catch the small fishes and let the big one go.’ Anyone with a background can leave. Even the Five Directions Immortal Sect doesn’t want to offend everyone. Anyone with a background can leave, but those without will just have to wait for their death..."
