Most of the cultivators couldn't restrain the greed in their hearts and chased after the balls of light in the air. However, those balls of light seemed to be alive and actually dodged with incomparable agility, causing the cultivators to be unable to catch them for a while and making them run around in circles.
However, there were too many warriors, and seeing that conventional methods couldn't succeed, they began to use their energy to bind these balls of light.
"Get lost, this is mine!"
"It's yours only if you get it. Now, you better get lost!"
The conflict between the warriors finally began to escalate. There were only a dozen or so light balls in total, but there were dozens of warriors participating in the fight, and they all had their eyes on one target.
"Should we snatch it?" Zhao Bing`er stood beside Lu Xuan and asked. She still paid attention to Lu Xuan's opinion.
"Don't rush." Lu Xuan shook his head calmly and said, "Now, whoever gets the ball of light will become the target of everyone and be attacked by everyone. Let's see what happens first. It seems that these balls of light are somewhat mysterious and won't be so easy to get."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhao Bing`er nodded and stood at the side with Lu Xuan without moving.
It wasn't just Lu Xuan and Lu Xuan who didn't participate in the fight. There were also many warriors who were also watching with cold eyes, waiting for the situation to develop. On the contrary, those who participated in the fight were all ordinary warriors. Most of the truly powerful warriors didn't make a move. Leng Qingqiu, Ruo Xiang Yi, and even Long Ming and Lin Zeyu weren't in a hurry to make a move.
"Junior Brother Lu, aren't you guys going?" Yang Weili's eyes flashed with greed as he turned to look at Lu Xuan and asked.
"Wait a little longer." Lu Xuan simply replied.
Yang Weili couldn't hold back anymore and said in a low voice, "Then I'll go first."
Finishing his words, Yang Weili soared into the sky and joined the fight for the treasures. A burst of Origin Energy swept out and directly grabbed at a ball of light. At the same time, there were several other attacks that attacked this ball of light, but this ball of light swayed left and right and easily broke free. Once again, it swayed in the air, seemingly full of mockery.
"Damn it, I don't believe that so many people can't deal with a few balls of light!" Yun Qi angrily shouted and also leapt into the fray. Seeing that no one had managed to snatch the ball of light, the number of martial artists that were patiently waiting began to dwindle …
"Haha, it's mine!" One of the Jiuhua Alliance disciples laughed heartily. He had successfully bound a ball of light with a wave of his ki. The ball of light struggled, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't escape. Inside the ball of light was a jade slip. It was obviously a martial technique or cultivation method. It was definitely one of the most valuable items in the Jiuhua Alliance. He couldn't help but be pleased.
After successfully obtaining the orb of light, the disciple immediately began to break out of the encirclement, not daring to stay for even a moment. Clearly, he also knew that he would become everyone's target.
However, he had underestimated the hatred the crowd had for him. So many people had failed to snatch the orb of light, but he had gotten it instead. It would be a lie to say that they were not jealous. In an instant, five or six people rushed towards him, and nearly ten people followed closely behind. If the orb of light was snatched away, there would be one less orb of light. Even if they did not get it themselves, they would definitely not let others take it away.
"Get out of my way! I'm a member of the Jiuhua Alliance. Are you trying to rebel?! " The disciple roared when he saw the warriors from the fourth-rank sects rush towards him. He wanted to use the might of the Jiuhua Alliance to intimidate them.
Unfortunately, in the face of such temptations, the name of the Jiuhua Alliance was no longer enough to intimidate them. The disciples of the fourth-rank sects had never imagined that they would be so bold as to openly attack a disciple of the Jiuhua Alliance.
"Leave the orb of light!" The warriors shouted in unison.
"You're looking to die!" The disciple's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Anyone who dared to take his orb of light would be killed!
The light of a sword swept past. The Jiuhua Alliance disciple attacked the nearest Skythunder House cultivator. The man had only intended to stop him, and had not expected the disciple to attack with such a deadly blow. His face paled in shock, and he had no time to defend himself. The sword slashed across his chest, and blood sprayed from the wound. A gaping wound opened in his chest, and it looked as if he would not survive.
The sudden outburst of bloodshed stunned everyone. They didn't even bother to continue fighting for the orb of light.
The Jiuhua Alliance disciple who'd killed the man was taken aback. He hadn't expected to kill the man, but he quickly regained his composure. What was the point of killing a man for a treasure? He immediately turned around and ran, rushing out of the Treasury Pavilion at lightning speed.
"Kill him!"
"Leave the orb of light!"
"Stop him!"
Loud shouts erupted. The blood stirred the crowd into a frenzy. Originally, they'd been fighting for the treasure with their bare hands, but now they all drew their weapons. Even if they weren't going to kill, they were going to prevent themselves from being killed. Suddenly, more and more people rushed towards the disciple of the Jiuhua Alliance. At this moment, no one cared about the identity or strength of the other. In their eyes and minds, there was only murder and robbery.
"Ahhh!" Another scream erupted. Someone in the crowd had clearly been injured, or even killed. But there were too many people, and it was impossible to see who it was.
The battle gradually spread from one part to the whole group. Everyone held their weapons and began to snatch the orbs of light. As long as someone dared to approach the orb they had their eyes on, they would immediately attack, not caring if it would hurt them or not.
Blood continued to spill, and the crowd grew more and more frenzied. Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger couldn't help but feel a little frightened. They instinctively distanced themselves from the fighting. Given the current situation, they didn't dare approach. Every now and then, people would fall to the ground. Clearly, they were corpses. At a rough estimate, at least ten people had died, and that wasn't even counting the injured.
"This is madness. This is madness …" The rogue cultivator who'd spread the news couldn't help but murmur. He hadn't joined the fight, and had wanted to take advantage of the situation. He hadn't expected it to become a feast of slaughter.
"All of you, stop!" Long Ming roared angrily. He sent a fierce palm strike at the crowd. Although it didn't have much killing power, it was powerful. The crowd couldn't help but scatter, halting the slaughter.
Being shaken by Long Ming like this, everyone instantly came to their senses, and their killing intent couldn't help but subside slightly. Looking at the corpses on the ground, they couldn't help but feel a trace of lingering fear when they thought about it. They had almost become one of them.
Long Ming's face was dark as he looked at the corpses on the ground. There were eighteen in total. That meant, excluding those who were injured, there were eighteen dead. Six of them were from the Jiuehua Alliance. The Jiuehua Alliance's disciples were strong, but here they were all at the peak of the Tempered God realm. Unless they had a trump card, it wasn't impossible for them to die under the combined attack of so many people.
Even when they were surrounded by the treants, they didn't lose so many strong warriors. But now, because of this civil strife, they had suffered so many losses. Long Ming couldn't help but feel a little sad. He still had a sense of the big picture. Whether it was the people of the Jiuhua Alliance, the fourth-grade sects, or the rogue cultivators, they were all warriors of the Jiuhua Alliance. In the future, any one of them could enter the Origin Realm, or even the Virtualized Realm. This loss was the strength of the Jiuhua Alliance.
"Look at what you've done!" Long Ming turned to Lin Zeyu and angrily rebuked. If Lin Zeyu hadn't deliberately provoked them and made the first move, how could things have developed to this point?
Lin Zeyu flicked the blood off his blade and smiled coldly. "What does it have to do with me? They were greedy. They weren't strong enough, and yet they dared to covet the treasures. Death cannot wipe out their crimes."
Just now, Lin Zeyu had also been in the midst of a chaotic battle. Three people had even died under his blade. As for those who had been injured by him, there were probably no less than fifteen people. Those who were still alive were almost all injured.
"Get out of my sight!" Long Ming couldn't hold it in any longer. He pointed at Lin Zeyu's nose and ordered him to leave. He didn't approve of Lin Zeyu entering from the beginning, but now it seemed like he had been more insistent.
"Leave?" Lin Zeyu couldn't help but laugh. "Why should I leave? This cave dwelling of the ancient almighty is Long Ming's territory? I think you're just worried that I'll steal your treasures. "
"No matter who gets these treasures, they won't fall into your hands. I promise!" Long Ming growled in a determined tone.
The smile on Lin Zeyu's face disappeared. If Long Ming really targeted him, it would be troublesome. Although he was strong, he didn't think he was Long Ming's opponent.
Just as Lin Zeyu was thinking about how to deal with it, the balls of light in the sky seemed to suddenly change. The twelve balls of light began to slowly revolve, forming something like a formation. The balls of light emitted a flickering light, and soon after, a very familiar voice rang out … ….
"The Human Clan is weak because of internal strife. I hate people who fight amongst themselves the most. I've killed countless foreign races and saved countless people of my own race, but I don't save people who fight amongst themselves. Their deaths are not to be regretted, but leaving them alive will only cause a great disaster. Today, I'm warning you with my words. I hope that everyone will remember it. Perhaps one day, you will understand my words today. All treasures will be left to those who have not participated in the internal strife."
The one who spoke was none other than the ancient supreme expert. Everyone had heard his voice before when they were participating in the test, so they were naturally not unfamiliar with his voice. When he spoke, a powerful energy enveloped them, causing them to be unable to move at all. They could only listen quietly. Although they were somewhat puzzled by what he said, just the first few words were enough to make them unable to understand. What did he mean by the human race was weak because of internal strife?
But before they could figure it out, the strange movements of the balls of light once again pulled their thoughts back. The twelve balls of light separated once again, and the ancient powerhouse's voice disappeared at the same time. The twelve balls of light slowly descended, and under the gazes of the crowd, they fell into the hands of the cultivators one by one.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes turned red. The treasures that they had fought so hard to snatch had now fallen on their own?
