However, Emperor Kun had no intention of making a move, so Lin Yi naturally wouldn’t force a conflict either. The strength of these two was formidable, and he was afraid he wasn’t yet capable of taking on both at once.
"Kid, let’s open the Emperor Dynasty Ruins first!"
Little Jin also saw that the current situation wasn’t a good time to take action, so he secretly communicated to Lin Yi, "Once we’re inside the Emperor Dynasty Ruins, then we’ll find an opportunity to suppress this guy!"
The enemy is in the light, and he is in the dark; they didn’t need to expose themselves so soon, as it would only put Ying Yuan on alert and cause them to miss a prime opportunity.
Lin Yi nodded, then flipped his palm over, revealing the Secret Key of the Heavenly Destiny Dynasty, emitting an ancient rune glow.
Almost simultaneously, Emperor Kun and Ying Yuan each took out their Secret Key!
The three keys, under the influence of their bearers, all radiated an exceptionally brilliant light, attracting each other and resonating to form a complex pattern!
As the pattern rotated, it drew on the aura from the depths of the Ancient Battlefield, and suddenly an astonishing column of light shot into the sky, creating a shocking vortex in the heavens!
Within the vortex, space twisted, and in those depths, one could seemingly glimpse magnificent and stately palace buildings!
"Is that... the Heavenly Destiny Dynasty?"
The gazes of those all around heated up!
That was an ancient kingdom that once dominated the Green Ruins Realm during Ancient Times, extraordinary and powerful!
Under those fervent stares, a pathway condensed from divine light emerged!
The moment the pathway formed, Emperor Kun and Ying Yuan’s followers charged into it like lightning.
As they entered the Heavenly Destiny Dynasty, Emperor Kun even cast a glance at Lin Yi, with a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Had it not been for Di Lin telling him to take care of it personally, without his intervention, he would have already made his move and suppressed this Peacock Clan whelp.
But since Di Lin had that spirit and wanted to personally seek revenge, how could he, as an uncle, not grant him his wish?
Lin Yi also waved his hand, no longer hesitating, and in one swift motion, he, along with Little Jin, Lu Qingcheng, Kong Lingxiang, and Kong Sheng, all dashed into the divine light pathway.
Behind them, other figures also stirred up roaring winds, streaked across the sky at high speed, and plunged into the passage like locusts, all vying to reach the distant ruins of the Heavenly Destiny Dynasty.
While many strong individuals were crowding into this divine light passage, suddenly, on a nearby mountain peak, a series of sinister figures emerged.
"Rongtian Crown Prince, it seems our plan this time didn’t reap much, failing to meet our expectations..."
Cold Night Demon Son shook his head; their intention was to use the contest for the Secret Key of the Heavenly Destiny Dynasty to create chaos and incite a deadly conflict between the Human and Demon Clan.
It must be said, it did have some effect, causing quite a few powerful individuals of both clans to fall, but none of the top-tier fighters perished. Not one of the Descendants or those on the Quasi-Saint List had fallen.
Those who died were merely minor, insignificant characters.
Princess Luo Chan said, "The people of the Human and Demon Clans of the Green Ruins Realm are all aware that a great upheaval is about to happen. They won’t easily fight each other to the death, and it seems they are very much in tacit agreement, leaving some leeway."
Rongtian Crown Prince nodded, his eyes suddenly flashing with a dark gleam, "This plan’s failure is indeed an oversight on this prince’s part."
"Emperor Kun and Ying Yuan are too strong; others simply do not dare target them. These two didn’t go out of their way to kill anyone either; they stopped after obtaining the Secret Key."
"Who would have thought that even the ruthless and murderous Peacock Demon King would become so restrained, actually letting those six go."
The Secret Key in the Peacock Clan’s possession was deliberately "given" to them to cause a conflict between Lin Yi and others, triggering a fight.
But Lin Yi did not go on a killing spree; after merely "bleeding" the six from Yu Zhen, he let them go.
This puzzled Rongtian Crown Prince.
Since when had the bloodthirsty Peacock Demon King, who delighted in devouring living creatures, become so merciful?
Could it be that he sensed something? Did he detect the scent of a plot from the contest over the Secret Key?
"The importance of the Secret Key was ultimately too light; the people of the two clans are good at infighting. Once they enter the Emperor Dynasty Ruins, they will surely reveal their true nature."
At that moment, a chilling voice came from behind, belonging to a man in a Blood Robe with three pairs of Blood Wings growing from his back, exuding a terrifying aura!
"Heavenly Net Quasi-Saint!"
Upon seeing this six-winged man, Rongtian Crown Prince, Princess Luo Chan, Cold Night Demon Son, and the others all bowed respectfully, their demeanor reverent.
The Heavenly Net Quasi-Saint was the longest surviving Quasi-Saint of the Undying Blood Clan and the strongest one, having lived for more than two thousand years, his strength far surpassing that of an ordinary Blood Clan Saint.
