Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing

Chapter 168: The Plot Was Exposed! Trick!

“Everyone, please.” Jiang Wencheng smiled as he moved out of the way; he even made a welcoming gesture for them to enter.

With his handsome face, Jiang Wencheng indeed looked courteous.

If ordinary [Doomsday Online] players were treated in this manner by Star-rank powerhouses, they would definitely feel flattered and form a good impression of them.

But Link and the others—who had long known these people’s true nature—sniggered in their hearts.

For a time, the Temple of Light’s people and Link—along with his people—didn’t move, making the atmosphere slightly awkward.

Several [Doomsday Online] players—who were following behind Jiang Wencheng—frowned upon seeing the others be so unappreciative. Their expressions were cold.

Jiang Wencheng—who felt like he was being embarrassed—sensed a flash of anger in his heart. However, his expression didn’t change. He only smiled and slowly withdrew his hand.

At this moment, Link suddenly took a step forward. He looked at Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan, and slightly amused, said, “Since it’s hard to refuse such kindness, let’s go.”

These deep-rooted organizations that had many secrets were one of Link’s targets. He wanted to see what they were up to.

After all, even a Stage Six monster—which was transformed from a Semi-Sage’s spiritual imprint—was suppressed by Link. There weren’t many who could threaten him.

Thus, Link appeared very calm and confident at this moment.

Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan also nodded, and their expressions eased.

They hadn’t even seen the ruins, so it would be unwise to break out into a conflict with each other directly.

Even if they were going to do anything, they had to understand the situation at the Forest of Darkness first before deciding what to do.

The people from the Temple of Light followed behind Link and the others and walked into the forest.

Seeing that the original stalemate was instantly dissolved by Link’s words, Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng couldn’t help but look at Link again, feeling slightly surprised.

This team should’ve been led by the two Stage Five powerhouses, but this young man seemed to carry a lot of weight among them.

But after sensing that Link was only Stage Four from his aura, the two immediately put their doubts behind them.

A mere Stage Four [Doomsday Online] player wasn’t sufficient to pose a threat to them.

Even though this person’s identity was somewhat special, the two didn’t care at all. So what if he had killed a Stage Six monster? During such times, strength was the most important thing. Moreover, their background wasn’t to be underestimated.

What Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng didn’t expect was the real reason why Link carried a lot of weight among his team. It wasn’t because of his special identity; rather, Link had won the respect of the Temple of Light’s people with his strength during their previous cooperation.

Under the lead of Jiang Wencheng and the others, Link and the rest soon entered a camp.

Link and the others didn’t see the [Doomsday Online] players that laid in all directions in the pit—which had mysterious lines and images drawn on it—at the bottom.

Jiang Wencheng and the others weren’t fools. They naturally wouldn’t expose it to outsiders so quickly.

And not far from the camp was an ancient stone monument, with many obscure and mysterious runes carved on it.

A vicissitudinous and grand aura rippled out from the stone monument, making it seem like a tombstone that had existed since before eternity.

In the center of the stone monument was a black hole—it seemed like something had to be put there to actually open the ruins.

Link looked at the boundary marker; his expression was indifferent, and he remained calm. The [Key of Relic]—which could open the ruins—was in his personal backpack at this moment.

A young man beside Jiang Wencheng pointed at the stone monument and said, “Everyone, this is the ruins’ boundary monument. However, we cannot enter the ruins because we don’t have the key.”

This young man was also a member of Ancient Martial Alliance. His name was Zhao Qinghe; his rank was Stage Four, Level 7, and he was rather powerful.

After those words fell, Zhao Qinghe scanned Link and the others, smiled, and said, “But this is only temporary… As long as everyone is willing to cooperate, I believe that we will soon be able to open the entrance and divide the ruins.”

“Oh, cooperate? What do you need us to do?” Tian Mingyuan narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

Zhu Changfeng—who was beside Zhao Qinghe—said, “A few of you should be aware that, if one wishes to open the ruins without the [Key of Relic], one can only forcefully break through the boundary guarding the ruins.”

“We have an item named [Boundary Breaking Talisman], which can forcibly break open the ruins’ boundary. But the conditions for using this item are somewhat harsh; it requires a lot of strength to activate it.”

As he spoke, Zhu Changfeng took out a silver talisman.

This talisman was clearly not low-grade, and it was exceedingly extraordinary. The surface was glowing, and mysterious symbols appeared in the air when it was taken out!

“How about we inject power into this talisman together and open the ruins?” Zhu Changfeng said with a smile.

At the same time, Jiang Wencheng signaled a few subordinates to bring over a few crystals to hand over to Link and the others.

“Everyone just needs to inject their power into the crystals. When we have enough power, we will be able to activate the [Boundary Breaking Talisman]. I guarantee upon the Ancient Martial Alliance’s credibility that we will let everyone enter the ruins together.”

Link couldn’t bear it anymore. These two big factions’ acts were truly a bit clumsy.

Moreover, after entering the camp, Link had been somewhat informed of these factions’ strength.

In addition to the Stage Five powerhouses in front of them, he could sense several surging auras in the camp. Star-rank powerhouses were apparently hiding within.

But just a few Star-rank powerhouses weren’t enough to threaten Link. Hence, he immediately decided that he would stop pretending and would show his cards.

Looking at the white crystal-like crystals in his hands, Link laughed, amused. He waved his hands, and the crystals instantly became a ball of powder.

Link casually scattered the white powder into the air, which then fell from the sky.

This scene was clearly out of Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng’s expectations. They never expected Link to do something like that, and their eyes twitched vigorously.

“What are you doing? It’s not easy to forge such crystals that can hold power!” After a brief moment of shock, Zhu Changfeng’s face sank. He coldly glared at Link, who had crushed the crystals.

Jiang Wencheng’s expression changed as well. He was already burning inside, and he finally exploded at this moment. He sneered. “Friend, are you looking down on our Ancient Martial Alliance?!”

Swords were instantly drawn, and the atmosphere was tense.

Jiang Wencheng’s robe fluttered without the presence of wind. The terrifying pressure emitted by a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse rushing toward Link like a vast river.

Seeing this, Tian Mingyuan and the others stopped pretending and threw away the crystals in their hands.

Holy Son Ou Chen even stepped forward and stood in front of Link with his Stage Five aura to fight against Jiang Wencheng! “You people are up to no good! You are probably waiting for us to inject our power into the crystals and attack us while we’re weak!”
