'Only the nearby Steer could do this, it was definitely done by those two. Sh * t, these idiots actually dared to make a move against their allies.
'Their previous enmity was brought to the Holy Mountain, and it was during the attack of a large number of Demon Overlords. These guys really deserve to die.
'But almost half an hour has already passed, Mafa Merlin fell into that kind of broken plane, he must have already fallen along with the small plane's collapse.
'Moreover, the Temporal Recall effect here is very poor, I can't be 100% sure. That idiot Cross definitely wouldn't agree to punish Birbo and Steer at this time.
"Cross, framing allies in battle is a crime the holy light can't forgive, Birbo and Steer have to be punished.
Otherwise, we won't be able to guarantee that our allies won't stab us in the back during the rest of the journey. If we can't unite, our plan this time will be considered a complete failure. "
Clombton didn't have time to finish his words before Cross interrupted him with a sneer.
"Clombton, this isn't your Holy Light World, we are facing a powerful and terrifying opponent. You want to get rid of two Heaven Rank powerhouses for a dead person, for a reason you can't even be sure of?
"Damn, is your brain broken? A dead person is dead, this is fate's arrangement, we have to move forward now.
Damn it, who knows if it was that stupid human mage who accidentally got himself killed, and even wanted to drag his ally down with him. "
Cross kept sneering as he crossed his arms. On the side, the seriously injured Birbo had a calm expression and didn't say anything. She slowly smeared a special potion on her body and her cracked body slowly recovered.
On the side, Steer, who had lost an arm, had stopped bleeding from his shoulder, but his arm that was torn to pieces could not be restored for the time being.
The 8th Tier Spell Limb Rebirth could only recover the limbs of lifeforms under the Heaven Rank, it could make the limbs of humanoid lifeforms regrow.
Moreover, the regrown limbs needed a long period of adaptation before they could return to their original level. This was especially true for swordsmen. The regrown limbs needed at least half a year to a year before they could barely return to their original state.
For a Heaven Rank powerhouse like Steer, the 8th Tier Spell's Limb Rebirth already had no effect. Even if his severed arm grew out, it would be as weak as paper and simply couldn't recover its original strength and power.
Only the power of a level-9 Extraordinary spell and some special precious materials as casting materials could regenerate his arm.
But now, Clombton didn't have any precious materials suitable for Steer.
Birbo didn't say anything with a cold expression. As an assassin mage of the Shadow Tower, she was used to dealing a fatal blow at the crucial moment without batting an eyelid.
On the other side, Steer gritted his teeth with an obvious sneer on his face.
That foolish human, Mafa Merlin. Dozens of minutes had already passed. His soul must have been completely annihilated along with the destruction of that small plane.
'With Sir Cross here, who would want to get rid of me for a dead person? 'No, look, didn't that powerful holy light mage already give up? Even if he saw that I plotted against Mafa Merlin, what could he do?
'He still can't do anything to me. In the end, even the most upright holy light mage would make a choice for the sake of benefits.
'Would he dare to forcibly get rid of me at such a time? What a joke. Unless he wanted to thoroughly break the alliance and thoroughly give up on this plan, he could only silently mourn for that dead Mafa Merlin and shed fake crocodile tears.
Cross and Clombton negotiated, and with Cross' insistence, Clombton tacitly agreed to Cross' words.
In order to take care of the overall situation, they couldn't get rid of two Heaven Rank helpers for a dead person, unless the two leaders of the 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouses agreed to this matter.
The few people who had a good relationship with Lin Yun were gnashing their teeth on the side, but they simply couldn't get involved in the quarrel between two 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouses. Their opinions were meaningless.
The quarrel slowly came to an end with Clombton's silence. A smile appeared on Cross' face, and the ice-cold Birbo also faintly grinned. Steer even sneered.
"That idiot Mafa Merlin didn't discover the spatial tear and died. How can he blame others? That damned guy, he wanted to retaliate against me before his death.
"Fortunately, that guy died, or I would have let him know the power of the Bronze Beastmen and beat him to a pulp!"
Steer saw the conclusion and couldn't help hooting.
"Steer, it's great that you didn't die. It's truly regretful that I couldn't see you die."
Just as Steer finished hooting, Lin Yun's cold voice echoed.
A faint spatial fluctuation appeared not far away, and a three to four-meter-long crack appeared in the space like a rag being forcibly torn open.
Lin Yun stepped out of the crack and sneered as he looked at Steer and Birbo in the distance.
All of a sudden, everyone turned their heads and looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.
Steer's mouth was wide open and shock could be seen on his face.
"Damnit, how could you still be alive? Impossible, anyone who fell into that place would die along with the plane's destruction.
"How could you still be alive? This is impossible …"
Steer shrieked in horror. He paid the price of an arm, yet he still hadn't gotten rid of Lin Yun. Instead, he came back unscathed. How could he accept this?
As for Birbo, her pupils suddenly shrank and the mana around her body couldn't help fiercely fluctuating. Even the shadow under her feet started shaking.
'What's going on? Impossible, the people outside clearly saw him fall into that small plane and saw the spatial crack collapse. How could he still be alive?
That small plane wasn't big and would have thoroughly collapsed in at most half a minute. He definitely couldn't delay the destruction of a small plane, he didn't have that kind of power.
'But it's already been half an hour, how could he still come back unscathed?
'Damnit, what's going on?'
Morgan and Raphael, on the other hand, were smiling.
Morgan clenched his fists and laughed heartily.
"Haha, I knew it, Lord Merlin definitely wouldn't die. Sure enough, it was like this …"
As for Cross, he frowned and a strange light flickered in his eyes.
'That human is pretty powerful, but he is the only one here that isn't a Heaven Rank powerhouse. How could he escape from that place?
'Even if I fell into a small plane on the verge of destruction, I would inevitably die. It's impossible to escape in such a short time.
'Only human Heaven Mages proficient in the Law of Space would be able to escape before the plane's destruction.
'But it's already been half an hour, how did he escape?
And on the side, Clombton was also surprised. He was looking at Lin Yun with shock.
'When we came, Joy especially told me that Mafa Merlin is a very mystical mage, the most mystical person he has seen in years.
'Now it looks like it's really the case. He actually managed to escape unscathed after delaying for so long.
'No, not only is he unscathed, he is even more powerful. Even if his mana fluctuations are weaker, he has thoroughly walked the Archmage path and is already a Peak High Mage.
'No, not only is he at the peak, but he is also at perfection. Right, his mana aura and law aura have already reached a perfect state, the most perfect state.
'I've never seen anyone before the Heaven Rank give me this kind of feeling, what a terrifying guy. He could already display the power of the 1st Rank of the Heaven Rank before, but now, apart from me and Cross, no one else can be his opponent.
'Even if he doesn't control Extraordinary Power, even if he hasn't established a Demiplane, he is a terrifying mage. My Angel told me that he seems more like a Heaven Rank powerhouse than a true Heaven Rank powerhouse. It seems that he is a true Heaven Rank powerhouse while the others are fake Heaven Rank powerhouses …
'What's going on?'
The scene strangely quieted down. Lin Yun expressionlessly walked over and indifferently glanced at Birbo and Steer. He didn't seem to be angry, but that calm expression without any anger or killing intent made Birbo and Steer feel an extreme sense of danger.
Lin Yun walked over to the human side. The frowning Cross' eyes flickered as he coldly looked at Lin Yun.
"Mafa Merlin, you attacked an ally and cut off one of Steer's arms. You almost caused two of your allies to fall and you even hid and pretended to fall into that unstable small plane.
"Now, I'll give you a chance to give us a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, you'll have to pay the price for attacking an ally!"
Cross sneered as he looked at Lin Yun, an indescribable light flickering in his eyes.
'For that human to be able to escape from that place, he must have discovered some secret of the Holy Mountain, or it might be better to say that this is a plot, a plot to frame that idiot Steer.'
A faint golden light shone on Cross' body as if he was about to personally make a move.
On the side, Steer was overjoyed when he heard Cross' words. He gnashed his teeth and glared at Lin Yun.
"Mafa Merlin, you despicable scoundrel! You pretended to be dead and then tried to get rid of me. Unfortunately, fate still favored me and only made me lose an arm.
Did you think that we had all left? Who would have thought that after half an hour, we would still be here. Now, your plot has been exposed. Bastard, how could you still be alive after falling into an unstable small plane for half an hour?
"Your plot is too clumsy! "Now, you filthy fool who attacked an ally, what are you going to do?"
'Sir Cross doesn't seem to like Mafa Merlin and doesn't like him, but he's actually speaking on my behalf. That's great, as long as Mafa Merlin is accused of framing his ally, he'll be screwed!'
Clombton, who had been silent all this time, expressionlessly glanced at Cross and Steer.
"Steer, since you said that H.e. Mafa Merlin took the initiative to kill you, I just happen to know the Mind Trial of a Mind Spell. Let's confront each other now. Under the witness of the holy light, the truth will be revealed."
With one sentence, Steer immediately shut his mouth and did not speak anymore.
Mind Trial, this was a kind of spell that forcibly interrogated the soul. But the success rate would be very low if it was forcefully cast on someone. The soul's resistance was too strong, even if it was cast on an ordinary person, it would be very difficult to succeed.
But as long as he was willing to accept the trial of his soul, he would have to face his own soul. No matter what he did, no matter what question he asked, he would not lie. He would be absolutely honest. Apart from a very small number of peak experts who played with souls, no one could talk about their own souls.
As long as one accepted the trial of one's soul, there was no way to hide the truth and what it was.
Steer remained silent and Cross, who was about to reply, immediately shut his mouth.
Cross frowned and glanced at Steer, who had his head lowered, dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Clombton sneered as he looked at the group of Beastmen. The milky white halo on the surface of his body slowly dissipated. If Cross had wanted to do anything, he would have been immediately stopped.
Lin Yun didn't say anything from start to finish, he just calmly stood there as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Lin Yun coldly looked at everything. From the moment he appeared and saw this group of people, Lin Yun knew that with Cross there, it would be useless to say anything.
In front of absolute power, even if he had the power of the Heaven Rank, he wouldn't be able to reason with a 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse. Because their fists weren't the same size, he wasn't qualified to reason with them.
Even if he knew that Steer was plotting against his ally, he wouldn't be able to get rid of Steer at this time. Even a symbolic punishment wouldn't have any meaning, he might even counterattack and think that Steer was the one harming his ally.
'Since he didn't die, he definitely didn't fall into that unstable small plane. What did he do for such a long time? Was he controlled by an Ancient God's soul?'
Lin Yun didn't say anything, but Clombton and Cross quarreled a bit because of Lin Yun. In the end, it was naturally left unsettled. Clombton didn't insist on pursuing the matter, and Cross also didn't try to get to the bottom of the matter and bite back at Lin Yun.
As the group kept moving forward, Steer bared his teeth and sneered as he looked at Lin Yun. His eyes flickered with undisguised malice. Since he had already been discovered, then even if he shed all pretense of cordiality, he would unhesitantly stab with his greatsword as long as he had the opportunity.
Birbo didn't say a word. His body could no longer be shrouded in a layer of shadows. His Shadow Body had already collapsed, and he wouldn't be able to recover in a short period of time. If not for his Shadow Body, Birbo would have already died.
After losing her Shadow Body, Birbo's shadow spells' power was reduced by 20%, which was very unfavorable for her.
But Birbo remained expressionless, and no one knew what she was thinking. The human mages, even Dubois, who had some unpleasantness with Lin Yun, stayed far away from Birbo.
The powerhouses of the Quicksand Tower, who also had enmity with Lin Yun, only gave Birbo a healing potion. No one was willing to get too close to that Shadow Tower's assassin mage.
Clombton and Cross were at the forefront of the group and kept moving towards the depths of the Holy Mountain.
Lin Yun took away the World Chapter, and in this unstable area, spatial cracks appeared even more frequently.
Those unstable small planes kept being born and destroyed, and the time between their birth and destruction became shorter and shorter. After losing the power of the World Chapter's projection, these small planes became even more dangerous.
As time passed, the projection of the World Chapter's power would slowly dissipate, and these small planes would no longer be born. After a spatial tear appeared in an unstable space, the only thing that could happen was a chaotic spatial storm.
After crossing this unstable space, it was like entering another plane. This place had already been thoroughly Abyssal. The terrain, environment, air, and mana had all become the same as the Abyss, but it was even more desolate than the Abyss. A large amount of ash and sulfur had condensed on the bare mountain peaks.
There was also a large number of Demons. When the Holy Mountain changed, none of the Beastmen within the Holy Mountain managed to escape. They had all been Demonized and turned into crazy Demonic lifeforms. Moreover, many powerful magic beasts living within the Holy Mountain had also been Demonized.
The endless Demonic lifeforms had red eyes and seemed to have lost all reason. Seeing everyone appear, they crazily charged over to attack.
Facing these Demonic lifeforms, most of them were indifferently watching from the sidelines. They simply didn't need everyone to make a move. Even if a Demon Overlord appeared, only two Heaven Rank powerhouses would be needed to quickly get rid of it.
The previous wave of twenty Demon Overlords had already gathered all the Demon Overlords here. Among those Demon Overlords, there were also Beastmen and magic beasts that had transformed into powerful Demon Overlords.
What they encountered now were some Demon Overlords that had thoroughly lost their reason after being Demonized.
On the road, Birbo and Steer couldn't help looking at Lin Yun. But Lin Yun hardly made a move, and they didn't see Lin Yun holding a grudge against them. There was no anger or hatred on Lin Yun's face, he had always been calm.
As if sensing Steer and Birbo's gazes, Lin Yun slowly turned his head and glanced in their direction. At that moment, Steer and Birbo looked like sheep being stared at by a fierce monster.
There was clearly no aura or killing intent, he only glanced at them, but the two of them simultaneously felt a sense of crisis coming from their souls.
When Lin Yun's gaze swept past them, the two felt as if it was an illusion, as if they were too nervous. In fact, there was nothing at all.
The rest of the journey was unexpectedly smooth. They would occasionally encounter a Demon Overlord that had lost its reason and would quickly get rid of it.
All the Abyssal lifeforms they encountered on the way were also eliminated. Even an ordinary Abyssal Blood Crow would be immediately killed.
