Hearing Lin Li's answer, Edmund didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. Hence, he once again led the team towards the depths of the ancient underground city. On the other hand, High Priest Poer, who was already extremely displeased with Lin Li in the first place, seemed to be even more resentful after hearing Lin Li's threatening words. From time to time, he would glance at the Tower of Dusk with hatred.
Lin Li had long seen High Priest Poer's behavior, but he didn't take it to heart at all. Saint Edmund was the one in charge of the Gilded Kingdom's team now, and no matter what, High Priest Poer couldn't go against Edmund's will. Besides, to him, apart from the others in the Gilded Kingdom, he really did not take High Priest Poer's abilities seriously.
However, as the two teams gradually went deeper, there seemed to be a strange murmur in the space. Besides, the sound seemed to be directly in the bottom of one's heart, and even if one covered their ears, they couldn't block it out. Lin Li tried to hear clearly what the murmur was saying, but he found that he couldn't understand a single word at all.
Although he couldn't understand the message that the murmur was conveying, Lin Li felt that there seemed to be a strange power in the voice that was subtly guiding him.
At first, Lin Li thought that the Immortal King might have left something behind to guide him to do something, but Lin Li didn't think that the Immortal King would do something. However, after listening carefully, he realized that the murmur didn't seem to make any sense at all. It was as if someone was moaning meaninglessly in his ears.
Although he couldn't figure out the meaning of the sound, nor could he find the source of the sound, Lin Li instinctively felt that something was amiss. Hence, he stopped in his tracks, and said to Edmund who was still leading the team forward, "Wait a minute, Saint Edmund, there seems to be something wrong with this place. I wonder if there's any more information about this place in your information."
Lin Li didn't mention the voice that he had heard, and instead wanted to find something that could explain the voice from the information that Edmund had. After all, this used to be the sacred land of the Illuminati, and Edmund definitely knew a lot of information about this place since he had led the team all the way here.
However, although the Gilded Kingdom's team had also stopped, before Edmund could answer Lin Li, High Priest Poer, who was standing beside Edmund, had already discontentedly said, "What's wrong? What could be wrong here? Don't we know better than you? Since you've agreed to come down, then just follow behind. Why do you have so many questions? "
High Priest Poer's sudden rebuttal not only left Lin Li a little dumbfounded, but also the other members of the two teams. Although almost everyone present knew that there was a feud between High Priest Poer and Lin Li, hadn't High Priest Poer always been rather restrained? Why did he suddenly lose his composure!?
Lin Li quickly recovered from his shock, and he could no longer suppress the fire in his heart. He wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with. Although he wasn't a vengeful person, he wouldn't easily let off those who offended him. During the rise of the Tower of Dusk in the Breezy Plains, many forces that had offended the Tower of Dusk had been annihilated. That was enough to show that he would never show mercy to his enemies.
Hence, after hearing High Priest Poer's words, Lin Li sneered without hesitation, and said in a disdainful tone, "High Priest Poer, I have to remind you that I'm not your subordinate, and my team is not the mercenaries you hired. If you can provide me with the information I want, we'll continue to cooperate. Otherwise, we'll just break up. "
"Let me tell you, this used to be the sacred land of the Illuminati, not a place where you country bumpkins from the mainland can behave atrociously. Since you're here, listen to our arrangements obediently, and don't cause trouble for yourself. " High Priest Poer glared at Lin Li with a menacing expression, and even pulled out his staff as if he was going to attack at any moment.
High Priest Poer's threat naturally made Lin Li rather displeased. Stroking the Helios' Scepter with one hand, he looked at High Priest Poer, and said, "I'm really sorry, but I never put my fate in the hands of others. It seems that we can't come to an agreement. As for the trouble you mentioned, I'm not afraid of trouble, and I'd really like to learn from you again, High Priest. "
Although Lin Li's tone was not as aggressive as High Priest Poer's, the sarcasm in his words was also very lethal. Why did he say that he wanted to learn from High Priest Poer again? It was because the two of them had fought once in Helena Port. During that fight, High Priest Poer suffered a loss, and if Lin Li hadn't held back, he would probably have made a fool of himself in public.
Logically speaking, High Priest Poer should be grateful to Lin Li for showing mercy at that time. However, High Priest Poer had always been proud and arrogant, especially since he didn't even stand up for his son at that time. Hence, he naturally regarded that fight as the greatest humiliation of his life. How could he appreciate Lin Li's kindness?
Seeing that the two of them were about to get into a fight, Elder Zumar had no choice but to stand up for Lin Li. He first said to High Priest Poer, "Poer, you've gone overboard with your words. President Felic is in a cooperative relationship with us, so he naturally has the right to know the information related to the exploration. I'll talk to President Felic here. You should calm down. "
High Priest Poer was about to continue to say something, but he suddenly felt a gaze on him. He hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that Saint Edmund was glaring at him with an unfriendly expression. He could ignore Elder Zumar, but he dared not go against Saint Edmund's wishes. Hence, he had no choice but to glare at Lin Li before turning around and walking to the other side of the Gilded Kingdom's team.
Watching High Priest Poer leave, Elder Zumar turned around again, and said to Lin Li, "President Felic, please understand that it's not that we don't want to share the information, but after all, we haven't been here for thousands of years. Even if we have some information in our hands, no one knows what changes have taken place after thousands of years. "
Elder Zumar's explanation was reasonable, but Lin Li did not immediately respond, and instead stood there in a daze. Although nothing could be seen on the surface, Lin Li's heart was already in turmoil, and he couldn't be bothered to care about what Elder Zumar said at all.
In fact, after High Priest Poer was persuaded to leave, Lin Li seemed to have suddenly sobered up, and he immediately got a great shock when he recalled his thoughts just now. Although the two of them only had a verbal conflict just now, Lin Li knew that he really wanted to fight and kill High Priest Poer just now.
Although Lin Li was also clear that he hated High Priest Poer from the bottom of his heart, it seemed to be the first time that he had the urge to kill High Priest Poer immediately. Besides, to be honest, he didn't suffer any losses in the previous conflict, so there was no need for him to hate High Priest Poer to this extent.
At this moment, Lin Li even felt a little strange, as if he wasn't the one who wanted to kill High Priest Poer just now.
At this moment, Lin Li suddenly remembered the murmur that had been lingering in his ears ever since he entered. Although the murmurs didn't seem to have any meaning, it was precisely after hearing it that he suddenly became so impulsive, or rather, so murderous. Could it be that my behavior just now was caused by that voice?
Lin Li first thought of himself, and then of High Priest Poer. Although he couldn't help but have a murderous intent when he thought of that person, he also felt that there was something wrong with High Priest Poer just now. No matter what, High Priest Poer was also a prominent figure in the Gilded Kingdom. How could he not be able to tolerate it? Besides, if that was High Priest Poer's character, he had clearly been restraining himself previously.
Could it be that I'm not the only one who can hear that voice? Lin Li suddenly thought of this, and ignored Elder Zumar. Instead, he immediately turned around to look at the many subordinates behind him.
After taking a look, Lin Li got a great shock again. Perhaps it was because of the conflict with High Priest Poer just now, the mages of the Tower of Dusk were all looking at the Gilded Kingdom's team with murderous intent. They seemed to be waiting for Lin Li's order to immediately launch an all-out attack on the Gilded Kingdom's team.
Lin Li didn't even need to ask. He already knew the answer just by looking at the expressions of his subordinates. At this moment, he didn't say much, and simply waved his hand, after which a magic shield that emitted a faint light immediately shrouded the entire team. In the magic shield, he used the power of the debris of the stars, Holy Light. Hence, while blocking the influence of the murmurs, it also had a spiritual cleansing effect on his subordinates.
As expected, just as Lin Li cast the magic shield, the expressions of the mages of the Tower of Dusk eased up in the blink of an eye. Of course, their original intention was to protect the dignity of their president. Hence, they weren't surprised by their emotions just now.
After doing that, Lin Li turned around, and said to Elder Zumar, "Okay, Elder Zumar, since I've promised you, I naturally won't leave because of such a trivial matter. You can rest assured."
Can you rest assured? We were about to fight just now! Elder Zumar couldn't help but curse in his heart, but on the surface, he still thanked Lin Li politely.
While Elder Zumar and Lin Li were talking, Saint Edmund had also been watching the development. However, when he saw that Lin Li suddenly turned around and added a magic shield to the Tower of Dusk's team, he also turned to look at his own team. He discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the people in his team, and when he thought about High Priest Poer's abnormal behavior just now, he suddenly thought of something.
Hence, after Elder Zumar returned, Edmund and Elder Zumar conversed softly, and then waved the scepter in his hand, after which four looming chaos statues immediately appeared around the Gilded Kingdom's team. The four chaos statues stretched their arms to the sides, and a dim light shield also shrouded the Gilded Kingdom's team.
After the dim light shield isolated the team from the outside world, the people of the Gilded Kingdom also seemed to have woken up from a dream as they snapped back to their senses one by one. At the thought of how they almost got into a fight with the Tower of Dusk just now, they were not as calm as the people of the Tower of Dusk. After all, many of them had already clashed with Lin Li before. Hence, if there was no need, no one wanted to lose their lives because of this pointless conflict.
After this small conflict, the two teams resumed their journey, and continued to walk towards the core area of the ancient underground city under Edmund's lead.
However, when the team moved again, Lin Li glanced at the Gilded Kingdom's team, only to see that High Priest Poer was also looking at him. Logically speaking, after isolating the influence of the murmurs, everyone's emotions should have returned to normal. However, Lin Li saw an extreme hatred in High Priest Poer's eyes.
However, to Lin Li, High Priest Poer's strength was really nothing. Besides, there was already a feud between the two of them, and Lin Li was already used to it. Hence, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
As the two teams advanced, the surrounding ruins became fewer and fewer, and in the end, they could no longer be seen. All that was left was yellow sand, and it was as if they had walked into an endless desert. Besides, although they were in the underground world, and there was no sun above their heads, the light seemed to be as hot as 10 suns in the sky, making the desert feel like it was on fire.
Besides, Lin Li noticed that the yellow sand under his feet was not the yellow sand of ordinary deserts, but was somewhat similar in nature to the crystal ball that Edmund had taken out previously. If one grabbed a handful of yellow sand and took a closer look, they would discover that they were extremely fine crystals, each of which emitted a faint divine might.
In that case, could he condense these crystals? If he did, the boundless desert would probably become a huge treasure. However, Lin Li secretly used the power of the Domain World, but he still couldn't gather the crystals. It seemed that there was an irresistible force between each crystal, making it impossible for them to gather again.
How did this desert come about? Who would create such a desert in this ancient underground city? Lin Li thought about the limited information he had obtained from the ruins outside, such as the Divine Kingdom and the Pantheon. Could it be that this used to be the Divine Kingdom of the ancient god, but it was shattered by an overbearing force?
Lin Li couldn't believe his own conjecture. The Divine Kingdom was the ultimate form of the Domain World, and could be said to have reached the same level as the real world. If anyone could shatter the Divine Kingdom of a high-level god with a single blow, it would be a piece of cake for them to destroy the real world.
