Chapter 3102: Favor Is Priceless, Secret Realm Opens
Jin Mie and Lei Tian returned almost simultaneously. Seeing their expressions, Lin Moyu knew that both had made gains.
Lei Tian took out two brand new treasure boxes, "Mr. Lin, after asking around, I found two."
Jin Mie also took out a brand new treasure box, "Time was tight, I only found one. After the Ancient Battle Secret Realm ends, Iâll look for more."
Lin Moyu asked, "Both clan leaders must have paid some price, right? How much do I owe you?"
The two quickly shook their heads and said in unison, "Sir, youâre too polite."
As soon as they finished speaking, they looked at each other and again said in unison, "Why are you copying me?"
Jin Mie snorted and ignored Lei Tian, "Although this treasure box is rare, itâs not very valuable to us, so it didnât cost much."
Lei Tian added, "Compared to what sir has done for our clan, this small matter is nothing."
Both simultaneously offered the treasure boxes to Lin Moyu, hoping he would accept them immediately.
"Alright then, I wonât stand on ceremony," Lin Moyu said as he accepted the treasure boxes and didnât mention money again.
He knew that not paying was more costly than paying. Not paying meant he was using favor instead. The future value of such favor might be immeasurable.
Not only did he understand this; Jin Mie and Lei Tian understood it too.
However, the most important thing now wasnât about money but that he could acquire the treasure boxes.
The fluctuations at the entrance of the Ancient Battle Secret Realm began to intensify. A powerful force surged from the entrance while a resounding bell echoed through the heavens and earth.
The bell rang ten times in succession, followed by drumbeats.
The drumbeats quickly turned intense; everyone felt as if they were soldiers on a battlefield ready to charge into enemy lines with a surge of bloodlust.
Lin Moyu felt something similar and thought to himself, "These must be two powerful treasures with inspiring effects. Together they can enhance combat power to some extent."
"But these should be battlefield treasures and not suitable for single combat." At this point, Jin Mie looked at Lei Tian and said, "Itâs time; we should get ready."
Lei Tian snorted lightly, "Iâve been ready for a long time."
Jin Mie said, "Then why are you still here? Get going."
Lei Tian wasnât polite at all, "Do you think I want to stay here?"
With that, he cupped his fists towards Lin Moyu and said, "Sir, Iâll take my leave first."
After speaking with Lin Moyu, Lei Tian turned and left.
Jin Mie also said, "I need to prepare as well. If sir needs anything, you can find Great Elder Jin Lan."
After saying this, Jin Mie also left the camp with a team heading towards the secret realm entrance.
Not just Jin Mie; teams from all ten royal clans flew towards the secret realm entrance.
Those leading each clan were either clan leaders or great eldersâall ninth-level Dao Venerables.
Moreover, their teams were all above fourth-level Dao Venerables.
In no time at all, ten teams had gathered at the secret realm entrance; they spread out around it forming a battle formation.
The core of this battle formation was ten top ninth-level Dao Venerables; its power could be imagined.
Lin Moyu didnât know what they were planning; although he had obtained a lot of information about the Ancient Battle Secret Realm there were still some details he wasnât clear on.
Jin Lan came beside Lin Moyu and said softly,"Every time when secret realm opens,a army will come out; only by defeating this army can we enter secret realm."
Lin Mo Yu asked,"Does army come from secret realm?"
Jin Lan replied,"Itâs not real army but formed by battle intent obsessions in ancient battlefield.This army guards secret realm entrance,and must be defeated to enter."
Lin Mo Yu asked,"Is this army strong?"
Jin Lan replied,"Not too strong,but there are many of them.We ten royal clans donât want face them alone so we join forces."
"Actually itâs like using a sledgehammer crack nut,but clan leaders wonât take action;itâs an opportunity train those who will."
Those who actually fought were Dao Venerables brought by each royal clan;the clan leaders just oversaw things.
The fluctuations at the secret realm entrance grew more intense,ripples spreading densely through space.
Space twisted,everyone felt like they were in waves.
When waves reached their peak,suddenly all distortion vanished.
Immediately after,the space at secret realm entrance cracked open,a surge of battle intent poured out from crack.
"Crack!"
Metallic friction sounded followed by footsteps.
Footsteps grew heavier,deafening.
An army wearing ancient armor emerged from crack.
Their movements were uniform;although there were five hundred soldiers,their footsteps sounded as oneâas if one person walking.
Lin Mo Yu saw that inside armor there were no real people but black energy masses formed by battle intent obsessions mixed together.
After appearing,the army quickly arranged themselves into formation guarding secret realm entrance.
Jin Lan said,"They wonât attack others proactively.When someone tries enter secret realm theyâll act."
Lin Mo Yu nodded slightly;he could sense that this armyâs combat power shouldnât be weak.
"Attack!"
Several royal clan leaders shouted simultaneously;the prepared battle formation roared into action.Dao Venerables behind them charged from different directions attacking guard army.
The guard army reacted quickly counterattacking.
Although they only had five hundred soldiers compared with half number of Dao Venerables from ten royal clans back they were truly strong army with powerful battle intent.
Their coordination was seamless,their combat power almost matched thousand Dao Venerables.
Lin Mo Yu could feel that this armyâs actual combat power wasnât high,barely squeezing into fourth-level Dao Venerable.
They werenât living beings but fusion of battle intent obsessions,having such combat power was already extraordinary.
If fighting alone any one wouldnât match fourth-level Dao Venerable let alone royal clanâs fourth-level Dao Venerable who could crush them easily.
But once formed into an army even if royal clanâs Dao Venerables outnumbered them several times over they could hold their own against them.
Jin Lan whispered,"Thatâs what armies are like.Although individual strength isnât great,together they can fight across realms."
"Sir needs be careful after entering secret realm.There are similar armies inside even more terrifying than now."
Lin Mo Yu accepted Jin Lanâs goodwill,"I understand."
He never feared being outnumbered;a few hundred soldiers meant nothingâhis own army was counted by thousands.
Even if coordinated perfectly,in face of absolute power it still wouldnât matter.
As for battle formations his Dragon Cavalry Corps also had battle formations.
His own Great Dao Formation wouldnât lose to theirs either.
According information about Ancient Battle Secret Realm thereâs high probability encountering such armies inside secret realm.
If number exceeds hundred,fused formation power allows them fight across realms
This was nightmare for many cultivators who would flee upon sighting them but not much concern for Lin Mo Yu
The battle at secret realm entrance continued.The stalemate gradually shifted as ten royal clansâ Dao Venerables adapted began gaining upper hand
Royal clans remained royal clans,various secret techniques emerged endlessly
Though opponentâs formation strong,their combat methods relatively simple
After ten minutesâ fierce fighting,this army composed of battle intent obsessions finally defeated
The crack at secret realm entrance rapidly expanded becoming true entrance
