Chapter 820: You Really Are a Talent (First update, requesting everything)

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen did not waste time; while letting their Demon Pets recover their stamina, they selected their predetermined targets, preparing to welcome the arrival of the second stage.

Like the two of them, Yan Wanling was also choosing a target, and from time to time she looked at Li Zhangsheng; wanting to obtain the sole quota, Li Zhangsheng was undoubtedly her greatest rival.

Unlike the three of them, Wen Zetao's main energy was focused on obtaining benefits; this guy had a lot of self-awareness, and unless someone helped him, it would be difficult for him to seize a Treasure in the second round with his strength.

Just as the second round was about to begin, Wen Zetao's voice transmission sounded in Li Zhangsheng's ears once again.

"Lord Zhangsheng, as long as you agree to give me that jar of Spirit Essence afterwards, I am willing to remain neutral, using the Heavenly Dao as a witness, how about it?"

Li Zhangsheng hesitated for a moment; he guessed that Wen Zetao had likely also received benefits from Yan Wanling, and to be honest, this feeling was not very good.

Even so, in order to prevent Wen Zetao from completely throwing his lot in with Yan Wanling, paying a certain price was still very necessary, not to mention that Spirit Essence was the thing he lacked the least.

As for using the Heavenly Dao as a witness, this could be said to be the most severe form of witnessing in this world, especially since this was the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, which was constantly being watched by the Heavenly Dao.

Once a contract was breached, the consequences were not ordinarily serious, but it was precisely because the Heavenly Dao was used as a witness that Li Zhangsheng and Yan Wanling could be completely at ease.

"Fine!"

Li Zhangsheng pondered for a moment, and in the end, he agreed.

In order to reduce a huge unstable factor, spending a certain price could be said to be very worthwhile.

"Heavenly Dao as witness, I..."

After Li Zhangsheng agreed, Wen Zetao carried out the Heavenly Dao witnessing just as he had said.

During this process, Li Zhangsheng kept staring at him to prevent Wen Zetao from finding loopholes.

Not far away, Yan Wanling was also staring at Wen Zetao; her expression was not very good, and it was clear she had paid a not-insignificant price to settle Wen Zetao.

It had to be said that Wen Zetao was truly a talent, actually taking advantage of a crisis to extort a King.

However, Wen Zetao did not regret it; he and Yan Wanling were located at opposite ends of the world, separated by who knows how many tens of thousands of miles, and besides, the forces behind him were not to be trifled with—even if there were no Emperors or Emperor Ranks, there were still Double-Character Kings after all.

To take a step back, even if Yan Wanling came from ten thousand miles away to cause him trouble, he could guarantee that he would not suffer a loss.

Moreover, after the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, it was not impossible for him to achieve the King rank in a short time, because in the only Yuanchen Treasure Pillar he had broken, there was a Profound Meaning Crystal stored, not to mention the price Li Zhangsheng and Yan Wanling had promised to pay him; even if not ten out of ten, he at least had an eighty percent chance of success.

When Wen Zetao finished reciting, a incomparably huge illusory eye suddenly appeared above them, almost completely obscuring the space above the palace.

This eye had no emotions, quietly staring at the people below.

Under the gaze of this eye, Li Zhangsheng's hair stood on end, as if he were being stared at by a Primordial beast; the others and their Demon Pets felt the same way.

Without a doubt, this was the symbol of the Heavenly Dao—the Eye of the Heavenly Dao!

Among them, the one who felt it most deeply was Wen Zetao; after all, he was the one who had performed the Heavenly Dao testimony, so he was naturally the main object of the Heavenly Dao's attention, but fortunately, the Eye of the Heavenly Dao flashed and disappeared, so it did not cause too much of an impact.

After half a minute passed, it meant that the second round had finally begun.

It was also at this time that the remaining three Yuanchen Treasure Pillars whose Restrictions had not yet been broken suddenly flashed with dazzling, eye-catching brilliance.

In an instant, a tangible yet invisible ripple swept across, and the Restrictions on the three Yuanchen Treasure Pillars vanished into thin air with a boom.

Under the traction of an invisible force, the last three Treasures instantly rushed out of the Yuanchen Treasure Pillars, about to turn into a stream of light and fly toward the nearest exit.

Except for Wen Zetao, the other three immediately took action, each commanding their Demon Pets to intercept their respective targets.

Li Zhangsheng's target was the Yuanchen Treasure Pillar located in the south; this was a soccer-ball-sized spherical Treasure, emitting a rather special fluctuation—as for what specific Treasure it was, he would have to wait until he caught it to know.

Ning Bizhen's target was naturally the last Yuanchen Treasure Pillar located in the east; the Treasure she was chasing was an illusory portal, which should be a Strange Treasure or a Treasure.

As for Yan Wanling, who was located in the west, her target was a water-vat-sized green ball of light, emitting a strong natural aura.

At this moment, the Demon Pets all took action.

Light Binding!

The Heavenly Pupil Bird used a binding-type skill, and a milky-white ribbon of light dozens of meters long appeared out of thin air, wanting to bind the Treasure.

Unfortunately, this Treasure seemed to have consciousness; it successfully avoided the ribbon of light by a hair's breadth, and immediately after, it avoided Aixi's pounce. Its speed was extremely fast, and it was extremely agile; for a time, not a single Demon Pet managed to hit the Treasure.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Treasure quickly closed the distance to the southern portal.

On the other side, Ning Bizhen also encountered the same problem.

"Hmph!"

Looking at the place several miles away, Yan Wanling let out a delicate shout, maximizing the output of the Secret Realm, wanting to use the Heaven and Earth Great Power to weaken this Treasure.

Under the full suppression of the Secret Realm, the speed of this Treasure dropped slightly, but it was still quite agile, and Yan Wanling could not subdue it in a short time.

"Day, Night!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, Day and Night caught up to the Treasure from behind. Due to the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote, the two cats had perfect tacit understanding; under their powerful interference, the Treasure became much more labored, no longer as relaxed as it had been just a moment ago.

Earth Cage!

Light Prison!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Adai and the Heavenly Pupil Bird simultaneously unleashed large-scale binding-type skills, wanting to temporarily trap the Treasure within a certain range.

Boom—

Before the Light Prison had fully formed, the Treasure struck a weak point; its impact was extremely strong, directly crashing through a small hole, and then it crashed into the Earth Cage.

It was just that because the Light Prison had exempted part of the impact, the Treasure could not instantly break through the Earth Cage.

Even so, the Earth Cage still trembled violently.

Besides the Treasure, inside the Earth Cage were the shrunken Aixi, Kailan, Day, Night, and the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse; they were also the most suitable among the many Demon Pets for dealing with the Treasure.

Besides them, the other Demon Pets were also using their own ways to try to weaken or bind the Treasure.

Hiding for a long time leads to mistakes, especially in such a small space.

Boom—

Under the tacit cooperation of Day and Night, Night slapped the Treasure.

Under this strike, the Treasure's movement trajectory changed instantly, the brilliance on its surface dimmed slightly, and its speed dropped by an imperceptible amount.

To obtain the Treasure, one must wear down the power enveloping it.
