Chapter 566: I hope the Imperial Son-in-Law will help

In the main hall.

Following Lin Chen obtaining the first key, the remaining floating fire flames suddenly surged, turning into a wave of fire that poured down in the main hall. Feeling the power of this fire wave, many martial artists' faces changed, and almost without any hesitation, they retreated toward the outside of the hall.

This fire wave was stronger than the one at the entrance of the main hall earlier. They couldn't withstand it.

Of course, there were also those who were unwilling and prepared to resist this flame flow, but the final result was turning into ashes under the flame flow.

After this wave passed, there were a hundred fewer martial artists in the main hall.

In the entire main hall, Lin Chen was the only one not affected by the flame flow. This time it wasn't because of his strength, but because he had a key in his hand. When the flame flow appeared, the key emitted light, forming a halo that blocked the flame flow.

The flame flow came fast and disappeared fast.

After ten breaths, the flame flow disappeared, and fire clusters appeared in front of the main hall again.

Seeing the number of fire clusters, Lin Chen's pupils contracted. The number of fire clusters this time was ten more than the last time. Did this mean that the second wave of flame flow was stronger than the first wave?

If this was the case, every subsequent wave of flame flow would be stronger than the previous one. To preserve strength, one could only grab the key as soon as possible.

It was feared that the idea of some people wanting to preserve strength and grab the key later would be shattered.

Lin Chen whispered in his heart. This rule of the Sacred Fire Hall was to force everyone to compete for the key in the earlier rounds as much as possible, otherwise, the damage from the flame flow later would be enough to make one uncomfortable.

Lin Chen could think of these, and everyone in the main hall could also think of them. At this moment, the eyes of everyone looking at the keys in the fire clusters were even more scorching than before.

Boom!

Almost at the same time, dozens of figures moved simultaneously. Various treasure lights were also flashing frantically in the air, colliding fiercely, emitting deafening sounds of gold and iron clashing.

Flames, ice, gale... countless weapon light shadows accompanied by whistling sounds filled the entire main hall.

The key was ten zhang away in front of these figures.

Ten zhang distance, for any martial artist in the main hall, was a matter of an instant. However, at this moment, these ten zhang were like a natural chasm. As long as anyone was close to the key, they would inevitably face the joint attack of others.

Screams came one after another, and even Lin Chen felt that these guys were a bit crazy.

There were six forces eyeing this key, and there were eight Fourth Stage Primordial powerhouses alone. However, in the next moment, Lin Chen's gaze suddenly looked at the key.

A figure emerged and grabbed the key with one hand. Among the martial artists fighting in the main hall, no one was able to discover it.

Lin Chen also took a few deep looks at this person. Even he hadn't discovered when this person appeared beside the key. If this person's target wasn't the key, but aimed at himself... then he would likely receive a slap from himself.

Although his spiritual sense hadn't perceived when the other party appeared beside the key, this only showed that the other party practiced top-level movement techniques and had reached the extreme in concealing soul aura. But this didn't mean that if the other party approached him, he would really be unaware.

Primordial martial artists have a natural perception of fatal danger. Unless the other party's movement technique was so strong that it could make martial artists below the Myriad Image Stage unable to perceive it, but Lin Chen didn't believe there would be such heaven-defying techniques in this world.

The power of any technique is linked to one's own stage.

If a Fourth Stage Primordial martial artist could approach a Sixth Stage Primordial powerhouse just by movement technique, then there wouldn't be a distinction between the Sixth Stage of the Primordial.

Li You held the key, with a smile on his face. Even though the martial artists who were fighting were all looking at him at this moment, he didn't care, because these people had no chance anymore.

Boom!

The remaining fire flames surged violently at this moment, turning into a flame flow. And the martial artists who were originally prepared to grab the key from Li You's hand had their faces change, ignoring Li You, and all began to resist this flame flow.

After ten breaths, the flame flow retreated.

Those unwilling martial artists attacked again, but strangely, the halo on Li You's body didn't disappear, and all attacks that landed on the halo dissipated without a trace.

The key protected Li You.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen's pupils shrank, and he had a guess in his heart.

The key would also protect the holder. This was something no one knew, especially at the beginning, when the person who grabbed the key died directly, so no one went to think in this direction.

So after the flame flow appeared, the key was equivalent to recognizing its master and would protect its master.

So was this person lucky, or did he know this in advance?

Estimating the flame flow time could be said to be judged based on the time the previous wave of flame flow appeared, but after the flame flow, the key could protect the holder, and there was no precedent to refer to.

Lin Chen didn't think the other party was lucky, because it was too coincidental.

Being able to accurately estimate the flame flow time under such circumstances required maintaining sufficient calmness. Such a calculating person would not take risks easily without absolute certainty.

So this person knew even more about the Sacred Fire Hall than the Wan Huozong disciples. What is this person's background?

Determining that they couldn't attack Li You, although the martial artists at the scene were very unwilling, they could only give up and began to fix their eyes on the next wave of fire clusters.

After three breaths, another wave of fire clusters appeared. This time the number of fire clusters was ten more than the last time.

"Everyone, the Sacred Fire Hall was created by our Wan Huozong's founder. It is not too much for our Wan Huozong to want a key!"

Meng Bing shouted, a strand of Primordial Fire roared out from his body, and the other Wan Huozong disciples also summoned their Primordial Fire one after another. The appearance of nearly ten strands of Primordial Fire caused the temperature of the entire main hall to rise suddenly.

The other martial artists who were about to act, hearing Meng Bing's words, all suppressed themselves.

It wasn't that they were really willing to give the Wan Huozong this face, but the overall strength of the Wan Huozong disciples was not weak. If they really confronted them, they wouldn't be able to take advantage. They couldn't guarantee they would definitely grab the key from the Wan Huozong, and in the end, they wouldn't grab the key and would offend the Wan Huozong, which would really be a loss that outweighed the gain.

After all, the exit of the Sacred Fire Realm was on the Wan Huozong's territory.

Meng Bing got the key and also learned Lin Chen's appearance, cupping his hands: "Many thanks for letting me, everyone."

"Brother Meng is too polite. After all, the Sacred Fire Hall was created by your sect's founder. We are willing to let the Wan Huozong have this key."

"That's right, it's impossible to miss the Wan Huozong." ===== CHAPTER 567 =====
