Chapter 1539: Chapter 1539: The Scent of the Water of Life
"You..."
Liu Yong never expected Lin Chen to be so fast, appearing in front of him in an instant, snatching his spatial treasure and quickly erasing its divine soul brand. This showed that Lin Chen’s soul power far exceeded his own, which was terrifying, considering Lin Chen was only at the seventh level of the Nirvana Realm.
Lin Chen took Liu Yong’s spatial ring and scanned it with his divine soul, discovering that the heavenly and earthly treasures inside were worth thirty to forty million low-grade spirit crystals. This was no small fortune.
"I didn’t expect this guy to be so wealthy."
Lin Chen was very pleased, as these treasures were worth far more than fifty Flame Explosion Talismans.
"Hmph, since you’ve taken the treasures from me, why don’t you quickly use the Flame Explosion Talismans to break the formation?"
Although Liu Yong was extremely displeased internally, since his spatial treasure had been seized by Lin Chen, he had no choice, and he felt Lin Chen wouldn’t return it.
He could only blame himself for not being prepared earlier and not transferring some of the treasures from the spatial treasure.
"Don’t rush, with your few treasures, they are far from enough. To break this defensive prohibition in front of us, at least a hundred Flame Explosion Talismans are needed, and it needs to be blasted twice. You’re far from enough with these treasures."
Lin Chen said calmly, then turned his gaze to those who had just gathered around him.
"You, you, and you all, if you want me to break the defensive prohibition here, come up with the money."
Lin Chen looked at those who instigated earlier and spoke coldly.
"Why should we give you money?"
The martial artists named were almost all disciples of the Heaven Hall, and those who had instigated earlier were also from the Heaven Hall.
The Heaven Hall martial artists were immediately displeased when they heard that Lin Chen asked them to pay, as they had experienced life and death in the ruins to obtain these heavenly and earthly treasures, and naturally were not willing to hand them over.
"Heh, why? Then why do you expect me to break the defensive restrictions here for you? Aren’t my Flame Explosion Talismans also money?"
Lin Chen looked at those people, coldly questioning.
These guys were truly laughable, shouting so happily when it didn’t concern them, and now that they had to pay, they changed their tune, afraid of losing their interests.
To these people, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t give a friendly face. They had been yelling at him aggressively before, and Lin Chen wanted them to taste what it’s like to be pushed to the cliff’s edge, threatened, and coerced by everyone.
"If you don’t want to pay, that’s fine. Anyway, the cost of the Flame Explosion Talismans hasn’t been met, and I won’t act to break the defensive prohibition. This matter arose because of you."
"Everyone can see it; I sincerely want to help everyone break the restriction, but these few refuse to pay. Liu Yong has already paid, but these few remain obstinate. What do you all think we should do?"
Lin Chen turned to the crowd, pointing at those few from the Heaven Hall.
"Can’t you guys hurry up? Why is it so difficult for you to pay? You’re wasting everyone’s time."
"Yeah, I don’t want to linger here. Hurry up and give the money to Young Master Lin Chen. Stop dawdling. Can’t you act like men? If you don’t pay up, don’t blame us for taking action."
"Yeah, I still need to go up the mountain to find treasures. You’re wasting my time; believe it or not, I’ll cut you down with a blade."
"..."
The crowd looked at those few from the Heaven Hall and scolded them loudly.
It was as if the few Heaven Hall disciples who wouldn’t pay had committed an unforgivable crime, being blamed by everyone.
This is human nature; when it doesn’t involve them, it’s not a loss of their interests, so they naturally side with Lin Chen.
Because Lin Chen didn’t ask them for money, they naturally cooperated with Lin Chen, directing the criticism towards those few Heaven Hall disciples.
Seeing other martial artists shouting at them, the disciples from the Heaven Hall looked extremely grim, and had no choice but to hand over treasures to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen took the treasures from those few in the Heaven Hall, scanned them with his divine soul, his mouth curled up, internally sighing that these guys had quite a few treasures in their hands.
Though individually, their treasures couldn’t match Liu Yong’s, combined, they were worth about thirty to forty million low-grade spirit crystals.
However, those Heaven Hall disciples glared deadly at Lin Chen, wishing to tear him apart.
Lin Chen ignored them. If these guys dared to take action, he wasn’t afraid. It’s just that other martial artists around wouldn’t allow it, as Lin Chen was about to break the defensive prohibition, and they naturally needed to ensure his safety.
After collecting the treasures from the Heaven Hall martial artists, Lin Chen arrived at the stone house at the foot of the mountain.
Earlier, when Yun Feiyang threw the Flame Explosion Talisman, it exploded on the stone house and triggered the defensive prohibition. At that time, Lin Chen used the Abyssal Eye to check this Forbidden Array Formation and found flaws, with a solution in mind.
The prohibition array formation in front of them was already damaged and incomplete. If it were complete, even with a large number of Flame Explosion Talismans, Lin Chen wouldn’t be able to break it.
But now, this array formation had gone through unknown thousands of years without maintenance, and was already a remnant formation. Lin Chen could find many loopholes to break it.
Of course, although this formation had flaws and loopholes, others simply couldn’t find them. After all, this was an advanced formation that ordinary formation masters might not even perceive, let alone break.
Moreover, even if Liu Yong hadn’t stood up to scheme against Lin Chen, Lin Chen would still break the defensive prohibition in front of them because he wanted to go up the mountain, and he sensed a powerful vitality at the mountain top, guessing it might be the Water of Life.
Lin Chen had promised Xiao Chitai to protect Zi Ling as much as possible and also knew that Zi Ling entered the ruins for the Water of Life.
