Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing - Chapter 167
Chapter 167: Arriving At The Peripheral! Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing!
The Temple of Light had sent people that Link knew; he didn’t mind traveling with them.
Of course, it was impossible to share the Epochal Ruins. That was all Link had. But as both parties were friends, Link didn’t mind protecting them. After all, it wasn’t too peaceful in the Forest of Darkness.
Seeing that Link had yet to break through Stage Five and wasn’t the top powerhouse at the current moment, Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao also had the intention of taking care of him. However, they didn’t despise Link because of that.
It was important to know that this young man had killed a Stage Four powerhouse when he was Stage Three.
Based on the fact that he was able to defeat someone higher leveled than him, Link definitely couldn’t be underestimated. He definitely had a hidden card up his sleeve.
Both parties traveled together. With Ou Chen the chatterbox around, the atmosphere was very cordial.
Link also learned a lot of information about the Evil Sect, Ancient Martial Alliance, and Martial God Hall.
These three powerful factions had sent Star-rank powerhouses with at least 20 to 30 Stage Four powerhouses under them.
The team sent by the Temple of Light wasn’t weak either. Two of them were Star-rank powerhouses, and five of them were Stage Four powerhouses.
Other than Ou Chen, Wu Hao had also advanced to Star-rank. Tian Mingyuan was also Stage Four, Level 9, so his combat prowess was powerful.
Link and the others also shared the news about Quicksand City with Ou Chen.
After finding out that the three powerful factions were capturing Stage Three and Stage Four [Doomsday Online] players in order to open the ruins, the people from the Temple of Light revealed shocked expressions.
“What? The three factions are actually plotting to do this? They are disregarding other people’s lives for the sake of the ruins? This cannot be tolerated! It’s no wonder we didn’t receive any news for the past two days. Our Temple of Light scout must’ve fallen into their hands!”
“Brother Link, we cannot do nothing. We must not allow them to behave in this manner!” Ou Chen was filled with righteous indignation and appeared furious.
Link only nodded; he didn’t say anything.
Although the big factions mostly sheltered and supported evil, Link understood the nature of the Temple of Light’s Holy Son.
The Temple of Light’s Holy Son wasn’t pretending. His sense of justice was just stronger.
Even in the cruel apocalypse, Ou Chen was one of the few people with a heart of justice.
Wu Hao’s expression changed. He wasn’t as rash as Ou Chen, so he immediately frowned and said, “Holy Son, don’t be impulsive. When the situation is like this, we must be vigilant.”
Tian Mingyuan nodded and continued, “That’s right. The three big factions have each sent a Stage Five powerhouse. If they act against us together, the consequences will be dire.”
Both Elders had begun to think about it carefully, and they even had thoughts of retreating. After all, it was a tough fight to go against the three big factions with their current manpower.
They had come for the ruins. If they didn’t get anything in the end and got themselves into trouble instead…
Both of them pondered over it, but they were unable to dissuade the Holy Son—who insisted on going to the Forest of Darkness.
Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao could only give up and agree to go to the Forest of Darkness.
The reason behind this decision was mainly the fact that Link was with them. Due to this, their team wasn’t considered weak.
The three big factions each had their thinking, and they were all working toward the same goal. Hence, they might still have a chance against them.
Moreover, there was no turning back. This opportunity to explore the ruins was hard to come by; there was no reason for the Temple of Light to miss it.
All of them were the few top powerhouses among the humans at this stage, and their physical qualities were extraordinary. They soon approached the mountain range where the Forest of Darkness was located.
Link—who had always been keenly observant—immediately realized that someone was watching them in the dark.
“There’s a scout in the forest on the left,” stated Link coldly.
Hearing that, Xue Linglong and the others grew vigilant.
The people from the Temple of Light also turned toward the left side in unison, prepared to fight.
And the scout—whom Jiang Wencheng had planted in the forest—had already reported Link and the others’ location to him.
Seeing that he was discovered, he stopped hiding and walked out of the forest calmly. “Everyone, please don’t be nervous. I don’t mean any harm; I’m here to welcome you.”
On the left side of the forest, a young man raised his hands up as he spoke, indicating that he meant no harm.
However, Link and the others clearly didn’t trust him so easily, and they looked at him coldly.
Wu Hao questioned solemnly, “Who sent you here?”
That young man seemed extremely confident as he calmly said, “I’m from the Ancient Martial Alliance. I’m under the command of Star-rank powerhouse Jiang Wencheng. The reason why I’m here is to welcome everyone and to share the ruins within the Forest of Darkness.”
Share the ruins? Ou Chen almost laughed. It is impossible for these people to be so kind.
Just as the young man spoke, the sound of wind gushing could be heard from within the forest. Several powerful auras were quickly approaching them.
“Someone is here!” Tian Mingyuan said solemnly, holding his staff tightly.
Wu Hao’s expression became even more solemn as he held his saber, guarding the area beside Ou Chen.
Link remained calm and only looked in the direction of the approaching auras; his gaze was deep.
Soon, more than a few shadows appeared in front of them.
The leaders were Ancient Martial Alliance’s Jiang Wencheng and Evil Sect’s Zhu Changfeng.
The imposing Stage Five Star-rank auras emanated from the two of them without reservation!
It made the few Stage Four powerhouses from the Temple of Light’s team feel palpitations and fear.
One should know that the difference between a Stage Four and a Stage Five was vast!
All Stage Five powerhouses had built their own domains and had a preliminary grasp of a nomological power. They had begun the climb to the stage of sanctification, and their auras were powerful enough to suppress an ordinary Stage Four powerhouse!
The foolish thing was that Ou Chen and Wu Hao had also taken a step forward and released their own auras, offsetting the other party’s suppression.
Jiang Wencheng smiled to ease the somewhat gloomy atmosphere. “Haha. Everyone, please don’t be on your guard. We are all here for the ruins, and we have no intention of hogging the ruins. We should all work together and share this ruin.”
Zhu Changfeng nodded slowly and continued, “That’s right. It’s still a bit difficult to enter the ruins now, so we should focus on opening the ruins. You all might as well come with us to take a look near the ruins.”
Both Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng appeared kind, looking as though they were going to share the ruins. However, the people from the Temple of Light were wary.
Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan looked at each other, with signs of relief in their eyes. If they hadn’t met Link and the others on the way, they would’ve been kept in the dark.
These two were clearly wolves in sheep’s clothing!
