Link kept quiet; his dark eyes were like two deep ancient wells, just watching Zhu Changfeng and Han Yingjie quietly.
When Ou Chen, Wu Hao, and the others heard ‘Boundary Breaking Talisman,’ these three words, they all cast their eyes over.
Being able to break the ruin’s spell barriers forcefully… This talisman was undoubtedly a treasure!
There were more than one such ruins on Blue Star. Such ruins were either the legendary gods’ places of inheritance or the remains of an unknown era. They were like treasures waiting to be opened.
And the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] was a key to open these treasures; it was something that all major factions would desire to have!
Momentarily, everyone’s eyes gathered like a spotlight on Zhu Changfeng and the other Evil Sect members.
Han Yingjie’s eyes were obscure, and he said in a deep voice, “The [Boundary Breaking Talisman] is used to open the ruin. Without the Boundary [Breaking Talisman], you guys can’t enter this ruin either, City Master Link. A lot of energy is required to activate the [Boundary Breaking Talisman], and it’s difficult for even a Stage Six Bright Moon-rank powerhouse to sustain the consumption.
“Only by using the formation we laid out will you be able to use the [Breaking Talisman] to open the ruin. And right now, only our Evil Sect has knowledge of the activation method. Moreover, there are still unknown risks in the ruin. Since both of us have common interests, how about we cooperate together?”
When his words just landed, Zhu Changfeng instantly said, “That’s exactly the case. Without the method to activate the formation, you won’t be able to use it even if you kill us and obtain the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] from our drops.”
“City Master Link, the opportunity is right in front of you. Cooperate, and both of our parties will benefit. Divided, both sides will make a loss. I think you won’t refuse to cooperate, right? As for the energy needed to open the ruins… City Master Link, you probably don’t lack the base for the spell formation.”
Zhu Changfeng paused and glanced at the Martial God Hall and Ancient Martial Alliance prisoners, smiling meaningfully.
As long as a part of these prisoners were thrown into the spell formation they had previously drawn, there would be enough energy to activate the [Boundary Breaking Talisman].
Wang Hao, He Lunhai, and the others naturally knew what Zhu Changfeng meant. Their expressions changed instantly, and they glared at Zhu Changfeng.
“Zhu Changfeng, what do you mean by this?”
“We established a covenant previously. Do you want to openly abolish the covenant and become an enemy of the factions behind us?”
“You are making two big enemies for Evil Sect by doing this! Can you bear the consequences? Zhu Changfeng, you have to think about this carefully!”
…
The prisoners kept shouting, but Zhu Changfeng was at ease and even laughed. “Haha, covenant? Stop joking! That thing is a joke in the first place; who will care about it? As for making enemies, wait until you guys survive this predicament first before talking about it!”
After ridiculing Wang Hao and the others, Zhu Changfeng looked at Link again and asked, “How about it? Have you decided, City Master Link? Of course, if City Master Link is unwilling to share the ruin with us, we are also willing to activate the spell formation and hand over the [Boundary Breaking Talisman to you so that you can open the ruin. This is as long as you promise to let us go.”
Ou Chen curled his lips and asked, “You guys are so kind?”
“How can you know if you don’t try?” Han Yingjie grinned.
If it were someone else other than Link, the person might have agreed. After all, the method of using the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] was in the Evil Sect’s hands.
But Link was different. The real key to the ruin was quietly lying in his personal backpack at this moment.
He could open the ruin by himself, so he naturally wasn’t concerned with the method that the Evil Sect talked about.
His mind flickering, Link still decided to gather some information first and see how many secrets these big factions had. Thus, he solemnly said, “Tell me about your understanding of this ruin.”
“En?” Zhu Changfeng and the others were slightly taken aback when they heard this. This topic has changed too quickly, right? Link hasn’t told us if he wanted to cooperate or not!
But they were currently all prisoners now, so they could only hold these complaints in their stomachs.
“Hurry up and talk. If not, my blade won’t be polite with you guys.” Zhao Yongkang drew out a long dark blade and spoke with a cold voice, the blade shining with a cold light.
His life was in the hands of others now. Thus, Zhu Changfeng didn’t dare to procrastinate; he quickly said, “The location of this ruin was discovered by a high-level member of Evil Sect in an ancient scroll that was passed down from long ago. According to Evil Sect’s ancient records, Blue Star was supposed to be an extremely powerful planet, but it suffered huge, world destruction-level catastrophes more than once.”
“It’s like reincarnation, happening again and again. Every time a civilization develops to prosperity, it will usher in destruction. The relics are the traces and seeds left by these civilizations annihilated in the dust of history. As for what actually exists in the ruin, we don’t know either. However, it may be related to some legendary ancient civilizations. For example, the perished Atlantis, Babylon, and so on.”
Upon hearing this, Link glanced at Jiang Wencheng, He Lunhai, and the others.
He Lunhai said solemnly, “We only know so much too. Only when we go inside can we know what’s actually in the ruin. In addition, the descent of the apocalypse and the opening of space cracks signifies that the planet under our feet is recovering!”
“Recovering?” Zhao Yongkang repeated, chewing the meaning of the sentence.
“Yes, it’s recovering!” He Lunhai affirmed, “We, who lived in reinforced concrete cities in the past—would we have ever thought that we would gain extraordinary abilities? We are witnessing myths and creating myths. What’s more, Martial God Hall believes that the celestials in the legends are powerful [Doomsday Online] players too!”
Link smiled and commented, “This is an interesting speculation.”
Tian Mingyuan saw that Link seemed to be very interested in the classics and secrets handed down, so he said, “City Master Link, in fact, there are some classics handed down in the Temple of Light as well. If you are interested, you can go to the Temple of Light and take a look. I believe the Temple Master will be very welcome.”
Ou Chen’s eyes lit up suddenly; he then smiled and said, “That’s right! Brother Link, if you come to Bright Sun City, we will definitely treat you with hospitality!”
Saying so, Ou Chen even gave Tian Mingyuan a meaningful look. The older generation is indeed more experienced!
It didn’t occur to Ou Chen to use the handed-down classics to tempt Link to join them.
Tian Mingyuan didn’t understand the expression in Ou Chen’s eyes; he only felt that the Holy Son might be thinking of some bad idea again.
“Well, it looks like I will indeed need to trouble you guys.” Link nodded.
“City Master Link, what about the matter regarding the spell formation and cooperation?” Zhu Changfeng asked again.
A gleam of light flashed in Link’s eyes. The people from Evil Sect mentioned the spell formation multiple times, which made him feel that this matter wasn’t that simple. “You seem to be very concerned about that spell formation? Old Zhao, go and destroy that spell formation!”
“Yes, Lord.” Zhao Yongkang nodded and turned to leave.
At this moment, a sharp shout suddenly sounded. “No!”
A hideous look flashed across Zhu Changfeng’s face. After noticing that everyone was gazing at him, he immediately put away his emotions and said, “If you destroy the formation, none of us will be able to gain anything. Why do such a thing?”
“What if I don’t need the spell formation at all?” Link sneered.
The atmosphere here instantly turned solemn!
