Chapter 217: Chapter 189: Seeking Death!
Entering the lake to search for the Rotating Pill level Legacy Treasure.
Who wouldn't want such an opportunity?
Unfortunately, according to what the Demon Carp said, of the ninety-three people present, only fifty would have the chance to search for the treasure.
Moreover, this opportunity was not only about treasure hunting in the "Azure Blue Lake"; if one couldn't enter the lake, they also wouldn't be able to go to other realms later on.
Having come to the central giant island, were they supposed to just watch others hunt for treasure while being trapped on this huge lotus leaf?
None of them would be willing to do that, of course!
"Fifty spots, no matter what, I must secure one!" many clenched their teeth and thought.
In the midst of the crowd, Liu Yan from the Fire Cloud Sect, Na Yunluo from the Cloud Sky Sect, and Fairy Nishang from the Moon Concealing Sect appeared quite detached. They were representatives of the fifth-grade sects, surrounded by their sects' disciples at this moment, and without question, they would have a chance to enter the Azure Blue Lake.
Seeing their might, not many dared to challenge these individuals!
In the crowd, the majority were from the three major fifth-grade sects and unaffiliated cultivators. The rest were just a few disciples from sixth-grade sects, and almost all seventh-grade sect individuals sent into the tomb had been stopped at the outer islands, without even the qualifications to reach the central giant island!
At this time, most eyes were sizing up the disciples of the sixth-grade sects. A significant number of gazes rested on Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.
Ye Chen's prowess was known to those from the Fourth Sea Island, but not to people from the other islands.
In the crowd, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao were the lowest in cultivation level. Although the two had successfully made it to the central giant island, clearly having some tricks up their sleeves, who among those present didn't have their own methods?
Everyone present had fought their way out from the peripheral islands, surviving the rampage of the giant beasts' mutation. Apart from a few people like Liu Yan and Fairy Nishang who were feared, of course, no one was willing to submit to anyone else!
Whoosh!
At this moment, a half-step Rotating Pill from the Flame Sect stepped forward, his gaze landing on Jiang Yao.
This half-step Rotating Pill was none other than one of the three who had previously ambushed Jiang Yao on the Eighth Sea Island!
"Since the Demon Carp said that only fifty people could enter the Azure Blue Lake to hunt for treasure, then naturally we must eliminate some first. I think it's best to start with those of lower cultivation," the half-step Rotating Pill said coldly to Jiang Yao, "Little girl, you managed to escape at the Eighth Sea Island thanks to your allies from the Moon Concealing Sect.
I didn't expect you to make it to the central giant island."
"However, the upcoming spots are tied to the opportunity for treasure hunting, and I think even the friends from the Moon Concealing Sect won't back you up this time!"
This half-step Rotating Pill chose to target Jiang Yao directly as soon as he spoke.
At this point, the only ones left from the Tai Xuan Sect in the arena were three people: Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and another half-step Rotating Pill, Jin Lieyang.
The others were trapped on the ten peripheral islands, at least, that's what Ye Chen and the others believed; in reality, they were already dead inside the ancient tomb!
Seeing the half-step Rotating Pill aim at Jiang Yao first, Ye Chen's grip on her hand suddenly tightened, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
He hadn't thought about eliminating others yet, but this man was already challenging Jiang Yao!
Such audaciousness!
Jiang Yao, on the other hand, stood quietly beside Ye Chen without speaking. She had not been afraid of the half-step Rotating Pill on the Eighth Sea Island before she encountered the three ladies from the Moon Concealing Sect, and now with Ye Chen by her side, she was even less afraid.
Before Ye Chen and Jiang Yao could speak, Jin Lieyang stepped forward to stand in front of them. Although he didn't say anything, his actions indicated that if the half-step Rotating Pill wanted to trouble Jiang Yao, he would certainly stand up for her.
"What, the three of you want to join forces?"
The Flame Sect's half-step Rotating Pill smiled. Two other half-step Rotating Pills stepped out beside him.
These two were part of the trio that had previously ambushed Jiang Yao with him.
At this time, the Flame Sect had as many as twelve remaining half-step Rotating Pills, and together with their leader, Liu Yan, these three from the Flame Sect were certainly not afraid of anyone.
And Liu Yan was right there, within the Flame Sect's group, along with other half-step Rotating Pills, watching as these three challenged Ye Chen and his companions.
After all, since they had to eliminate some people anyway, many among them were pleased to see someone take the lead.
"Relying on your numbers?"
Just as the three from the Flame Sect stood out, the three female disciples from the Moon Concealing Sect who had previously been with Jiang Yao also stepped forward, "You three harassed Sister Jiang Yao back on the Eighth Sea Island, and now, you're targeting her again!"
"Do you really think Sister Jiang Yao is an easy target for your bullying!"
"If we truly need to eliminate someone, we will start with you!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the three female disciples spoke, a large group of people stepped forward; these were all people from the Fourth Sea Island!
"If you want to target Brother Ye Chen, you'll have to get past us first!"
"Brother Ye Chen, leave these three to us!"
All of them spoke loudly.
Nonsense.
Ye Chen was being directly targeted by the three disciples from the Flame Sect, and these people, having received great kindness from Ye Chen, naturally stood up for him.
Seeing a large group suddenly stand up, even two Flame Sect half-step Rotating Pills pulled at the garments of the Flame Sect trio, the three half-step Rotating Pills from the Flame Sect who had targeted Jiang Yao suddenly changed their expressions.
They hadn't expected that Jiang Yao, who seemed to stand alone with the youth by her side, would have so many people supporting her.
