CHAPTER 325: CHAPTER 324: A GRAND FORMATION

Penglai Immortal Realm has many benefits. If one can come out alive, great rewards await. However, the prerequisite is survival!

Should one perish within, no matter how many benefits there are, they all amount to naught in the end.

Nearly every year’s Penglai Immortal Realm martial trial results in the fall of almost a hundred experts within its confines, including even Great Martial Masters of the Ninth Layer, let alone the Great Martial Masters of the Seventh Layer disciples.

After waiting for a while and seeing no one else withdraw, the Seventh Elder continued speaking.

"Every participant in the trial will receive a Waist Token, which will record each person’s Points. Killing a Seventh Layer Level Two Demon Beast gets ten points, an Eighth Layer Level Two gets forty points, and a Ninth Layer Level Two gets two hundred points. Killing a Level Three Demon Beast yields three thousand points!"

"Inside the Penglai Immortal Realm, there are also numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. After obtaining them, you can choose to keep them for personal use or convert them to Points. The top ten scorers among the disciples will be rewarded with Level Three treasures! The first-place finisher will be granted an additional one hundred thousand Contribution Points!"

No sooner had the Seventh Elder finished speaking than a wave of excitement surged among the Fourth Generation Disciples.

In previous trials for the Fourth Generation Disciples, only Contribution Points were awarded, but this time, it’s Level Three treasures!

In an instant, many eyes turned red with greed and excitement - indeed, Level Three treasures! Treasures utilized by Earth Martial Masters!

Even the most inferior Level Three treasure is worth one hundred and fifty to sixty thousand Contribution Points, a reward far more generous than any previous Fourth Generation Disciples’ trial.

"However, if you are killed by someone else during the trial, the points you’ve accumulated will be transferred to that person. Therefore, you must be vigilant, especially wary of disciples from the other Three Sects, and most of all, those from the Diancang Sect!"

The Seventh Elder’s voice suddenly grew cold as he said, "Our Divine Wind Camp and the Diancang Sect have been at odds for ages. Their disciples will undoubtedly strike to kill upon meeting any of you, so you must not show mercy. To the disciples of the Diancang Sect—kill without mercy!"

Lin Feng was silent. These rules encouraged mutual slaughter. There were many ways to score, like hunting Demon Beasts or collecting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but the quickest method was through murder. Whatever Points the other had could be instantaneously transferred to oneself.

Whether it was the initial trial or the current one for the Fourth Generation Disciples, all were equally ruthless and merciless.

"Let us hope that this time, more people will make it back alive! Now, let us prepare to set off!"

The Seventh Elder said with a hint of emotion in his voice. How many might be lost this time, no one knew, but without a doubt, those who survived would become the elites and the future pillars of the Divine Wind Camp.

"Please, Seventh Elder, wait a moment!"

Just then, suddenly, a calm voice resounded abruptly.

The Seventh Elder blinked in surprise and looked towards the speaker; the crowd followed suit, their gazes sharpening. The one who spoke was none other than the foremost among the Fourth Generation Disciples, Yin Ligge!

Yin Ligge stood in front of the throng, her expression serene, as she turned and looked directly at Lin Feng.

"So, you are Lin Feng?" she asked softly, her face wearing a light smile as if Lin Feng were an old friend.

Lin Feng glared back at her, remaining silent.

Yin Ligge’s smile brightened, and she spoke out loud, "To everyone present, Lin Feng is a foe of our Dynasty. If you can kill him within the Penglai Immortal Realm, the Level Three treasure I gain from this trial will be presented to you with both hands. Furthermore, if you are from outside the Dynasty, you will always be welcome to join!"

Upon Yin Ligge’s declaration, the entire crowd fell silent!

The quiet lasted for several breaths. The next moment, a formidable murderous intent erupted across the plaza, stirring the heavens and shifting the colors of the sky.

In an instant, Lin Feng felt the piercing stare of over a thousand sharp gazes, all firmly fixed on him.

Every gaze was filled with chilly murderous intent.

At that moment, the square for the Fourth Generation Disciples turned unbearably cold, surging with a killing atmosphere as if winter had come.

Even with Lin Feng’s formidable strength, in this moment, when over a thousand gazes brimming with murderous intent locked onto him, he felt a chilling cold throughout his body, as if plunged into an icy cellar!

With just a single sentence, Yin Ligge stirred up everyone’s desire to kill Lin Feng.

Who is Yin Ligge? The foremost individual among the Fourth Generation Disciples!

It could be said that Yin Ligge securing a spot in the top ten of this trial was a certainty, and even clinching the first place held no suspense.

That also meant, without a doubt, Yin Ligge would be rewarded with a Level Three treasure!

Under such circumstances, as long as they could kill Lin Feng, the Level Three treasure that Yin Ligge obtained would be theirs!

Moreover, they could even join the powerful forces of the Dynasty.

At this moment, everyone’s heart was ablaze with passion.

No one doubted Yin Ligge’s words; as the top individual among the Fourth Generation Disciples, he certainly had credibility and wouldn’t speak in vain!

For most people, securing a top ten reward was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but compared to killing Lin Feng, the task seemed much more manageable!

Although many were aware of Lin Feng’s past achievements and his ability to defeat those above his level, they considered themselves geniuses too, with many likewise capable of slaying opponents beyond their tier, and their cultivation was higher than Lin Feng’s, making the task of killing him not so formidable.

Even taking ten thousand steps back, if their individual strengths did not match up to Lin Feng’s, they could invite a few friends to join forces and encircle him.

"Brother Yin, rest assured, if I encounter this man in Penglai Fairyland, I will definitely slay him!"

"Ha-ha! Brother Yin, I’ll cripple him and hand him over to you for disposal!"

"A mere Great Martial Master Seventh Layer ant, and Brother Yin actually offers such high conditions, if I encounter this person, I will surely leave him no chance of survival!"

"Ha-ha! In this trial, killing Lin Feng will be my top priority!"

"..."

Many Inner Sect Disciples declared their intentions one after another, vowing to slash Lin Feng.

Everyone’s gaze toward Lin Feng was laden with a sky-high killing intent, as if they were looking at a corpse.

The conditions offered by Yin Ligge were simply too generous, compelling many who could not refuse.

Level Three treasures!

The chance to join the Dynasty!

No one wanted to miss out!

Especially those who had no hope of claiming a spot in the top ten, by slaying Lin Feng, the benefits they could reap would be no less than those of the top ten winners.

Only a few disciples, after some consideration, showed no intention of harming Lin Feng.

Firstly, their own strengths were rather low, and secondly, they were aware that Lin Feng had a mentor to rely on; for the sake of their own prudent survival, they did not wish to provoke trouble.

The way these few looked at Lin Feng was filled with pity.

Under such a formidable assembly, Lin Feng’s fate was undoubtedly sealed.

This dramatic twist caused even the Seventh Elder to change color abruptly, with shock resonating in his heart.

To kill a single Lin Feng, did it necessitate such a powerful lineup?
