Chapter 496: Imminent

Finally, Yuanxin couldn't stand the noise and said: "Forget it, stop arguing! According to the number of all current teams, eighteen teams will draw lots.

In the order from one to eighteen, the corresponding team can send one person into the sacrificial formation each time. No one is allowed to use any excuse to take action.

But the time used each time cannot exceed a quarter of an hour. That's it, do you have any opinions?"

Lin Zhangqing hadn't spoken just now, but now hearing Yuanxin say this, it was about the same as what he thought in his heart!

So he was the first to express approval, and others also expressed their positions one after another because there was no better way than this now! Afterwards, in order to save time, Yuanxin did it himself, put some lots into a bowl, and activated the bowl, forming a sealed spiritual artifact.

Then he said: "Everyone reach in and touch one. Take it out immediately as soon as you touch it. You are not allowed to ponder inside. The one left at the end is mine!"

Hearing him say this, everyone felt it was fair, so people started to go up and touch the lots one after another.

Lin Zhangqing followed the crowd and was the fifth to go up. However, his luck was neither bad nor good; he was actually ranked eighth.

The Miaoyu Sect was ranked first, and Yuanxin was actually ranked second. Lin Zhangqing understood in his heart that this monk must have cheated! However, he didn't say anything. Anyway, seeing through it without saying it was fine; otherwise, if others spent so much effort without any benefit, who would do it! After confirming their respective rankings, although a few people were dissatisfied with the rankings, they couldn't make any big waves in the end.

Anyway, he didn't know about other teams, but for his own team, he definitely had to go up first.

Returning to Chen Zi Ya and the others, he told them the situation, and everyone expressed that they could accept it. Actually, being able to have this result was already very good! Otherwise, if a chaotic battle really started, at least half of the people here would leave their lives here! After agreeing with everyone, they could now discuss the order of their team going up, but he had to go up first. Fortunately, no one had any opinions! After a while, a female cultivator from the Miaoyu Sect went up first, but it wasn't Song Xinhui who drew the lots! Her speed was very fast. After a short while, she finished and came down, probably throwing in more than two hundred demon cores.

The second one to go up was Monk Yuanxin. The number of demon cores he threw into the Spirit Sacrifice Plate was much larger.

Everyone had been paying attention to him. This time he threw in at least three or four thousand!

The cultivators present immediately boiled over. Fortunately, everyone still maintained a bit of reason, knowing that taking action at this time, they didn't have the confidence to take much advantage.

So in the end, no one took action. After receiving the feedback, Yuanxin also successfully left the sacrificial formation. It could be seen that he was also obviously relieved!

Then it was the Ghost Controlling Sect, Corpse Raising Sect, Heavenly Star Sword Sect... the people who went up from these teams were relatively smooth. The number of demon cores in their hands was about two or three hundred to one or two thousand, and there was no particularly outstanding performance.

It was Lin Zhangqing's turn. He was also feeling uneasy in his heart because the number of demon cores in his hands was truly too many!

He was worried that someone would be unable to resist taking action, so he had just reminded Chen Zi Ya and Mu Jiuyin and the others to increase their vigilance!

And he himself also concentrated all his attention and was on full alert. If there was anything wrong, he would release the Purple Crystal Scorpions and Shocking Spirit Cicadas at the first opportunity.

Even if necessary, he would let Lin Changliu help. By then, it would definitely be a massacre! Under everyone's gaze, he walked into the sacrificial formation. After condensing a mana imprint, he pressed it on the Spirit Sacrifice Pillar. Then, the departure mark on his hand began to heat up slightly, and he knew it was okay. Reaching this step was the most dangerous time, so he opened his divine sense fully!

He knew that the movement outside would definitely not be small later, but he couldn't care so much now! He directly took out the large jade box containing demon cores from his storage bag and began to pour them into the Spirit Sacrifice Plate.

At this time, the periphery of the sacrificial formation really boiled over. Everyone unconsciously approached the formation.

At this time, as long as someone took action first, it would immediately become chaotic here, turning into a disorderly battlefield.

But fortunately, there were also some cultivators who didn't want that situation to happen and were trying hard to appease the cultivators they knew around them.

And Lin Zhangqing's divine sense had been locking onto Yuanxin of the Red Lotus Temple and two or three other people he thought were relatively threatening just now.

As long as one of these few people took action, he would immediately prepare to strike first! Fortunately, the other two or three people looked eager to move, but in the end, they didn't take action.

It was just Yuanxin, whose hand was already touching the storage bag, but in the end, he didn't take out the spiritual artifact.

At this time, the atmosphere at the scene was almost suffocating. Lin Zhangqing spent the longest quarter of an hour beside the Spirit Sacrifice Pillar!

Until a bit of golden light flew out from the Spirit Sacrifice Pillar and merged into the departure mark on his hand, it could be considered to have ended this torment.

Now his back was wet. Fortunately, it was finally over. Afterwards, under everyone's gaze, he returned to Chen Zi Ya and Mu Jiuyin and the others.

By this time, the atmosphere was a bit more relaxed and not as heavy as just now.

However, Lin Zhangqing found that things were not over. Yuanxin and a few others were still intentionally or unintentionally continuing to pay attention to him! After thinking about it a little, he understood what was going on. There were indeed many mysteries here.

But no matter what, he should be a thorn in the side of Yuanxin and those few people now!

Who told him that the number of demon cores he threw into the Spirit Sacrifice Plate was the largest so far, approaching five thousand eight hundred!

He firmly suppressed them. If Lin Zhangqing didn't die, their chance of getting the opportunity would be extremely slim! So he knew that there would definitely be another battle later. After pondering a little, he immediately started preparing!

Chen Zi Ya also understood at this time that things were not that simple. Fortunately, she didn't need to go up, so she said in Lin Zhangqing's ear:

"Green Brother! Why don't we leave here first! Anyway, there's nothing for us to do now!"

Lin Zhangqing shook his head and said: "No! We can't leave yet, at least not now!"
