It would be understandable if it was an Upper Rank Flame Spirit, but it was only a ball of flame on the totem, it didn't have any life fluctuations.
Then, as that ball of flame throbbed, it felt as if a power was slowly brewing and churning up and down, giving him a palpitating feeling.
"Very frightening …"
Lin Yun paled and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. This was the pressure brought about by that ball of flame. In the Tulan Mountain Range, he had thoroughly fused the three Meditation Law Sets as his core Meditation Law Sets and advanced to the 5th Rank of the High Mage realm. His strength was comparable to that of a High Rank Archmage.
But facing that strange flame, he still felt palpitations. From this, it could be seen how frightening the power contained within the flame was. He even had the misconception that if that flame burst with power, it would be a disaster.
'Hold on …'
But just as he was inwardly apprehensive and attentively watching that throbbing flame, he suddenly felt enlightened, as if he had found a clue.
'This is related to the Raising Dragon Array …'
More than ten days ago, the allied army had taken complete control of the Ghost Valley, and he had secretly brought people to dig up the Raising Dragon Magic Formation. However, there was a powerful defensive power protecting the Raising Dragon Magic Formation, and through his analysis, he found that a terrifying flame could instantly burst out with power, destroying that defensive power.
He then looked for the young Raging Flame Beastman, Yass, and asked him about the Ghost Valley. At that time, Yass only mentioned a legend that had been passed down in the Thawing Fire Tribe for thousands of years. There was a powerful Demon sealed at the bottom of the Ghost Valley that needed something to release it, and that thing was in the Thawing Fire Tribe's Sacred Mountain.
At that time, he faintly felt that the thing in the legend was related to the Raising Dragon Array. Thus, he agreed to Weiss' request to ascend the Sacred Mountain with the Black Tower's people.
The answer was obvious.
The Black Tower painstakingly searched for the Peak True Spirit Totem left behind by the Thawing Fire Tribe's ancestor, and it was the key to helping him disperse that defensive power.
To be more precise, he needed to draw support from the flame at the top of the totem.
However, this answer made him not know whether to laugh or cry. He already knew of the existence of this totem when he first started working with the Black Tower, but he did not care. In the process of negotiating with Hören, he generously gave this totem to the Black Tower, even though Hören still did not know the inside story of this matter …
He, who came from 30,000 years in the future, knew better than anyone that this Peak True Spirit Totem would be useless in the hands of humans. At that time, the Black Tower had suffered a loss and lost over ten Archmages. They didn't get any benefits and instead created the famous Heaven Rank Shaman Lusar.
He really did not expect that the item to activate the Raising Dragon Formation would be a totem.
Apart from Lin Yun, Weiss and Suval, the two Representatives of the Black Tower, knew some secrets. Seeing the Totem on the altar, they became extremely excited, their hearts throbbing. However, after the incident at the Tulan Mountain Range, Whis had become more mature. He frowned and vigilantly observed his surroundings and the Tribal Chief. He didn't act blindly without thinking.
"Are you the Thawing Fire Tribe's Tribal Chief?"
But at this time, Suval stood up and broke the deadlock. He looked at the middle-aged Raging Flame Beastman and coldly said with a frown, "Even the Thawing Fire Tribe has been extinguished. You are the only one left, truly pitiful. If you take the initiative to hand over the totem, you might still have a chance to live … "
Suval's voice was filled with a strong sense of superiority, and he was looking at the Tribal Chief with disdain.
When he first discovered the Tribal Chief, he had already determined from his energy fluctuations that the Tribal Chief's power was comparable to a 6th Rank Archmage. This kind of power could be considered at the peak of the entire Raging Flame Plane.
But what could he do?
After all, his team was made up of Archmages, and his own power had reached the 7th Rank of the Archmage realm. He might be able to easily kill the Tribal Chief without the others interfering.
If the Tribal Chief could use the power of the totem, it might be a bit troublesome, but it would only be a bit troublesome. He wouldn't be a match for his side.
Thus, he confidently stood up.
Because in his eyes, the outcome had already been decided. No matter what the Tribal Chief chose, the totem would ultimately fall into the Black Tower's hands.
"I don't have much time to waste with you. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. Naturally, you have to think clearly, after all, this concerns your future …" Seeing the Tribal Chief standing on the altar not reacting, Suval's expression couldn't help becoming a bit colder. He impatiently said, "I already gave you the opportunity, whether you can grasp it or not is up to you …"
"Human, although you eliminated the Thawing Fire Tribe, our great ancestors will punish you damned invaders and make you die in despair …"
The Tribal Chief stood on the altar with an aloof expression, overlooking everyone a hundred meters away as if he wasn't aware of his situation. A sinister expression could be seen on his middle-aged face, filled with boundless hatred.
"Unfortunately, you missed your only opportunity …" The smile on Suval's face disappeared as he gloomily looked at the Tribal Chief. He couldn't help inwardly shaking his head, unable to help laughing.
"If your damned ancestors truly existed, would they have just watched as the Thawing Fire Tribe was destroyed by us? I have to say, you Raging Flame Beastmen are too naive … "
"Forget it, I'll take it myself. I'll let you meet your ancestor while I'm at it …" Suval sneered, his whole body emitting unconcealed killing intent. He looked at the Tribal Chief as if he was looking at a dead man, and his words seemed to be pronouncing the Tribal Chief's fate. He then slowly walked towards the altar.
In fact, he hadn't put the Tribal Chief in his eyes from the start. This confidence stemmed from his own formidable power. Even if he was only one rank higher than the Tribal Chief, the gap between them was like heaven and earth. On the Archmage path, especially after the 5th Rank, every step was extremely difficult.
He was confident that this battle wouldn't last more than ten minutes.
"Wait a minute …"
But just as Suval took two steps, a voice echoed behind him. Although the voice was very soft, it clearly reached everyone's ears. Suval froze and turned around with a gloomy expression. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "What, Mafa Merlin, you want to go back on your word?"
After obtaining a Representative seat after leaving the Black Tower's Holy Land, Suval naturally came in contact with some of the Black Tower's core secrets, especially the secret about cooperating with the Merlin Family to jointly attack the Thawing Fire Tribe. A hundred years ago, the Black Tower had obtained top-secret information that the Thawing Fire Tribe had a formidable Magic Tool at the peak of the True Spirit realm.
The Black Tower had wanted to obtain that Magic Tool more than once, but they couldn't transfer a portion of their forces, so their plans regarding that Magic Tool had been put on hold until Mafa Merlin came to propose a cooperation.
Moreover, he clearly knew that in this cooperation, the Black Tower would have the priority to take something from the Thawing Fire Tribe. The Black Tower would put in the most effort in cooperating with the Merlin Family. It might seem like they were suffering a loss on the surface, but in fact, after eliminating the Thawing Fire Tribe and obtaining that Peak True Spirit Totem, the Black Tower would make a huge profit.
As he thought of this, Suval looked at the young mage with a mocking expression. It looked like Mafa Merlin, who had been kept in the dark, finally understood everything.
'Regret it, regret it, even if your intestines turn green from regret, it won't make up for it!
'Do you really think that the Black Tower is cooperating with the Merlin Family for the Ghost Valley?
What is an insignificant Ghost Valley?
'What the Black Tower truly wants is that Peak True Spirit Totem. If used properly, it wouldn't take long for the Black Tower to have another Peak Archmage!'
Unfortunately, the young mage's expression was indifferent, he didn't look as regretful as Suval had imagined.
'Pretending …'
'He's definitely pretending. That's a Peak True Spirit Magic Tool. Even in Noscent, the appearance of a Peak True Spirit Magic Tool would cause a reign of terror between the major forces, with countless powerhouses participating in the competition.
Unless Mafa Merlin was an idiot, how could he not care about it?
That "wait a minute" was the best evidence. He clearly wanted to stop Suval from obtaining the totem, but what was the point? Suval couldn't help inwardly shaking his head. 'He's still too young …'
"Mafa Merlin, if I'm not wrong, you seem to have an agreement with Sir Hören? "After smoothly eliminating the Thawing Fire Tribe, our Black Tower will have the priority to take something from the Thawing Fire Tribe. I can tell you the truth, the thing our Black Tower wants to take first is the totem on the altar …" Suval was inwardly pleased as he said this. He could finally openly reveal this secret.
'The conceited Mafa Merlin might have thought that he had profited from this cooperation with the Black Tower, but the truth is very cruel. Revealing this secret was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
'It feels so good …'
'The Black Tower simply doesn't want to cooperate with the Merlin Family, they're just using the Merlin Family!'
"Although I'm sorry, I still have to say that if you have any ideas about the totem, you will be violating the agreement and will face the endless anger of the Black Tower. Naturally, I don't mind you doing this, because it's exactly what I want. That will speed up the destruction of the Merlin Family, hahaha …" Suval saw that he had said enough and no longer tried to provoke the young mage. He turned around and tightly grasped his magic staff before slowly walking towards the altar.
