Chapter 626 - 342: Hidden Motives! Sixth Realm Free-for-All! (Part 3)
In the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two streaks of light shot across like meteors.
Soon after, three more streaks of light pierced through the clouds.
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, that’s enough."
Yiyang Yie, the second strongest in the Yiyang Kingdom, suddenly accelerated, wielding a Golden Battle Soldier to strike forward.
It’s here!
Xing Rong accelerated to dodge, and Chu Ming also avoided the strike.
However, because of this strike, their escape route was blocked by the Yiyang Kingdom.
In front were Yiyang Mountain and Yiyang Scenery of the Yiyang Kingdom, with Yiyang Yie at the rear.
"Gentlemen," Yiyang Yie stood atop the clouds, looking down, "Our Yiyang Kingdom is a reasonable place."
"Leave the treasure, and you can go."
The three National Guardian Realms of the Yiyang Kingdom were confronting Xing Rong and Chu Ming, whose apparent strength was overwhelmingly suppressed by the Yiyang Kingdom.
Killing and seizing treasures, that’s the way of survival.
But Yiyang Yie said to leave the treasure for their lives, which was indeed reasonable.
"We can hand over the treasure, but the treasure was obtained through an auction with Star Sand. Brother Yie, do you mean to rob openly?"
Xing Rong was not flustered but drew out a long sword, its blade adorned with connecting seven stars, emitting a faint aura.
The eyes of the three from the Yiyang Kingdom changed instantly upon seeing this sword.
Seven-Star Sword! Seven-Star Kingdom, Xing Rong!
Yiyang Yie’s eyes flickered, staring at the Seven-Star Sword and Xing Rong without speaking.
He had uttered the words about leaving the treasure to test the identity of the two.
Killing is easy, but to kill silently is hard because he worried that their identities were not simple.
As expected, the other party was from the Seven-Star Kingdom.
The Seven-Star Kingdom, a neighboring country to the east of the Yiyang Kingdom, had an overall strength greater than theirs.
The border conflicts were frequent, but the National Guardian powerhouses of both countries rarely took action. The relations were neither too good nor too bad.
Hence, upon seeing the Seven-Star Sword, Yiyang Yie’s brow furrowed slightly.
In his view, killing them and seizing the treasure was not very difficult. If this was with a weak nation to the west or south, he wouldn’t hesitate to act.
But since they were from Seven-Star Kingdom, killing Xing Rong would escalate the tensions beyond mere skirmishes.
"Second Brother, Xing Rong is hard to move against, and there’s another person!" Yiyang Mountain reminded through a message.
Another person?
Yiyang Yie looked at the young man in black, probing that the young man’s strength seemed only at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm.
However, he knew that someone who could auction treasures with Star Sand could not merely be in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm.
Still, Xing Rong revealed his identity, yet this person didn’t, which implied what?
Could it be that the young man in black did not have the same deterrent identity as the Seven-Star Kingdom?
Or was he also a strong figure from the Seven-Star Kingdom?
Yiyang Yie scrutinized the young man in black without reservation, intending to provoke him to reveal his aura.
Chu Ming stood suspended in the air, meeting Yiyang Yie’s gaze, then displayed a trace of panic, truly showing a leak of aura.
Heavenly Inquiry Tower hadn’t appeared; he needed to stir the waters further.
Sea of Qi Realm beginner?
The aura was unfamiliar, not a strong figure from the Seven-Star Kingdom!
Yiyang Yie felt a slight joy, signaling Yiyang Mountain and Yiyang Scenery with his eyes.
"Brother Xing Rong can leave, but this person," Yiyang Yie pointed to the young man in black, "must stay."
Clearly, the three from the Yiyang Kingdom intended to target an easy victim.
"Heh, a Sixth tier Lower Grade Treasure makes the three National Guardian Realms of the Yiyang Kingdom willing to abandon all decorum to rob and kill. I’ve witnessed something new."
Xing Rong sneered coldly.
"However, I’ve formed an alliance with Brother Hoong Jun. If you act against him, you’ll be opposing my Seven-Star Kingdom."
Xing Rong allied with ’Hoong Jun’ not just to counter the Yiyang Kingdom; the true purpose was to prevent ’Hoong Jun’ from falling into the hands of the Yiyang Kingdom.
These words instantly angered the three from the Yiyang Kingdom.
"Xing Rong, this is our Yiyang Kingdom!" yelled Yiyang Mountain, who blocked their path.
"Heh, so what if we are in Yiyang Kingdom? If you have the guts, make your move! I want to see if your Yiyang Kingdom dares to start a war with my Seven-Star Kingdom."
While Xing Rong spoke with his mouth, he was ready for battle in his heart.
Just like Yiyang Mountain said, this was Yiyang Kingdom; if they acted in anger, even if he didn’t die here, severe injuries were likely unavoidable.
However, with the arrow on the string, the situation forced them, and the threat of the Seven-Star Kingdom could delay a lot of time.
As long as they delayed until their brother arrived, the three from Yiyang Yie would find it hard to contain them.
Xing Rong’s words intimidated, the young man in black’s calmness, made the three from Yiyang Yie’s concerns deeper.
"Second Brother, what do we do? Xing Rong from the Seven-Star Kingdom has allied with this person in black. If we make a move, it equals attacking Xing Rong..." Yiyang Mountain communicated secretly.
Yiyang Yie’s face looked ugly, silent, and seemed hard to decide.
But right at that moment, a message from the Fourth Brother, Yiyang Scenery, gave Yiyang Yie a breakthrough.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, what Xing Rong said, on the surface, sounds like an alliance with the black-clad person, but it also revealed something."
"What?" asked Yiyang Mountain.
Yiyang Yie’s eyes suddenly flashed, "The Fourth Brother implies that the man in black is not a strong figure from the Seven-Star Kingdom!"
"Indeed, or it wouldn’t be a so-called alliance."
"Second Brother, Third Brother, that young man in black is only at the early Sea of Qi Realm, and it appears he broke through not long ago; his strength is weak. If we focus on this person, even if Xing Rong intervenes, he can’t stop us."
The Fourth Brother Yiyang Scenery continued to analyze.
"The Fourth Brother makes a lot of sense!" Yiyang Yie was overjoyed, "I will occupy Xing Rong, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, quickly take down the man in black."
"Yes."
The three rapidly finalized their tactical deployment.
Following that.
Clash!
Yiyang Yie was the first to attack, throwing a round of Golden Light directly towards Xing Rong of the Seven-Star Kingdom.
