At this moment, deep within the Ancient Battlefield, there was a particular area.
Kong Lingxiang and Kong Sheng were fleeing at full speed, but behind them, there were already over a dozen formidable presences locking onto them!
Feeling the strong opponents behind her, Kong Lingxiang’s expression couldn’t help but darken as she knew those chasing them were masters from various major forces, and the number of pursuers was increasing!
"Damn it, if Kong Linyun were here, who would dare to chase after us?" Kong Lingxiang frowned and clenched her silver teeth.
At first, these people were just probing, since they were from the Peacock Sacred Land, and they didn’t dare to offend Lin Yi—what if they forced Lin Yi to come out, who could be sure they could withstand him?
However, after some prodding, they discovered that Lin Yi hadn’t appeared. Knowing that Lin Yi wasn’t with Kong Lingxiang, they began to act boldly!
If it weren’t for the trump cards given by the Peacock Saint Master, the two of them might have already been captured!
Beside her, Kong Sheng glanced back and his expression also darkened slightly, "Lingxiang, if it really comes to that, we might have to hand over the Secret Key."
"It’s not worth losing our lives over this item."
However, Kong Lingxiang was somewhat reluctant as she said, "We’ve delayed here for so long already, the word must have gotten out. Kong Linyun must have received the message and will surely come."
Yet Kong Sheng still frowned deeply and said, "Among those presences behind us, several are top-notch even in this Ancient Battlefield. Even if Linyun arrives, it might not be possible for him to break through."
Among the presences behind them, there were powerful young Supreme beings and highly ranked people from the Quasi-Saint List. Although they individually feared Lin Yi, the problem was that they were together now. They could join forces to overwhelm him even if Lin Yi appeared!
Kong Lingxiang’s gaze flickered. Just as she was hesitating, several figures suddenly appeared ahead, blocking their escape route!
It was Qiao Shaofeng and Qi Zhenjun!
"Hand over the Ancient Emperor Dynasty Secret Key honestly, or die!"
Qiao Shaofeng glared at Kong Lingxiang with a venomous face. Having been severely defeated by Lin Yi the last time and losing a Qilin leg because of him, he was determined not to forget that debt!
With the blockade from Qiao Shaofeng and the emergence of pursuers from behind, even Lin Yi would recognize these familiar faces if he were here.
From the Feathered People, Yu Zhen and Yu Quan!
From the Sea King Clan, Helun!
Zorro Quasi-Saint, ranked fifth on the Quasi-Saint List!
Essentially, they were all people who had previously suffered at Lin Yi’s hands, now appearing en masse, all for the Secret Key on Kong Lingxiang!
Kong Lingxiang looked around, then with a flip of her Jade Hand, a Secret Key enveloped in rune light appeared in her hand.
"With so many people wanting the Secret Key, who should I give it to?"
She wasn’t about to hand over the item so easily, not without making these people pay a price!
"Trying to sow discord? Stop the nonsense and hand it over quickly, how we divide it is none of your concern!"
Yu Quan roared from behind.
Seeing that these people were about to forcibly take the Secret Key, Kong Lingxiang clenched her silver teeth. Though somewhat reluctant, she ultimately threw the Secret Key towards an unoccupied area with all her strength!
Everyone’s eyes blazed with eagerness. Now that the Secret Key became ownerless, it was a matter of skill to claim it!
However, none of them moved first towards the Secret Key, being very cautious. They all knew that the first one to touch the Secret Key would become the target of everyone else’s arrows; even if grabbed, it couldn’t be kept.
But, in the moment of their hesitation, an enormous True Yuan hand appeared from nowhere, snatching the Secret Key before anyone else could react!
"Where did this suicidal fool come from?!"
Seeing someone daring to cut them off, Yu Zhen, Helun, Qi Zhenjun, and the others exploded with fury, their voices filled with murderous intent echoing through the heavens.
"A bunch of losers, thinking you can bully the people of our Peacock Sacred Land in my absence?"
A faint voice suddenly resounded in mid-air, and then the gazes instantly shifted, landing on a figure that had appeared out of nowhere.
Looking at the figure that had suddenly appeared in the sky, Kong Lingxiang’s face revealed a trace of wild joy and excitement.
Upon clearly seeing Lin Yi’s appearance, Yu Zhen and Qi Zhenjun also showed a trace of grimness on their faces, not expecting to encounter the person they least wanted to meet.
"Know it’s me and still not scramming?"
Lin Yi stood with his arms crossed in front of his chest, his gaze indifferent.
Seeing Lin Yi’s arrogant attitude, Qiao Shaofeng’s expression darkened, "Kong Linyun, why are you so arrogant?"
"With so many experts here today, couldn’t we still besiege you, and yet you still dare to be so rampant?"
Hearing this, the others also stared at Lin Yi. In a one-on-one fight, they naturally feared him, but now, there were forces from all sides.
Couldn’t these combined forces suppress this Demon King?
