Chapter 150: The Dagger is Revealed

"Pfft," a sound rang out.

Fresh blood sprayed out, and the young cultivator's corpse fell limply toward the ground.

Even in death, he could not understand how his own good friend had backstabbed him.

"Hahaha, these one billion Superior Spirit Stones all belong to me!"

After saying this, he stepped on the young cultivator's corpse, clutched a corner of the Spirit Stone Mountain tightly, and was moved to tears of excitement.

However, he did not even have time to rejoice for a moment before his head was suddenly chopped off by a burly-looking cultivator.

Immediately following, that burly cultivator used the tip of his blade to flick the headless corpse onto the Spirit Stone Mountain.

After finishing all this, he seemed to enjoy the feeling, looking up to the sky and laughing.

At this moment, quite a few cultivators had already rushed to the foot of the Spirit Stone Mountain and slashed directly at the burly cultivator.

Because they all knew that only by killing the burly cultivator before them would this Spirit Stone Mountain belong to them.

As more and more cultivators arrived, a great melee erupted on the Spirit Stone Mountain.

Fresh blood and severed limbs flew everywhere, screams resounded throughout the entire sky, and the scene was extremely horrifying.

Everyone's eyes were bloodshot; people were constantly being killed, or killing others.

But no one was willing to give up the weapons in their hands, nor were they willing to leave this Spirit Stone Mountain, even as more and more people died.

Seeing this bloody scene, the corners of Lin Taian's mouth lifted slightly, and a smug smile flashed in his eyes; in his view, these idiots had finally taken the bait.

Gradually, the cultivators originally crowded within the Su Clan Protective Array became fewer and fewer, but the cultivators remaining on the Spirit Stone Mountain also became fewer and fewer.

At this moment on the Spirit Stone Mountain, there were not many people left, with only a mere dozen or so still desperately holding on.

However, they were already exhausted, and some had even given up attacking, sitting on the ground panting and resting.

Their bodies trembled, their faces were ferocious, and sweat dripped down like raindrops.

"Ah—"

Finally, one cultivator could not bear the pressure, let out a shrill howl, threw away the weapon in his hand, and begged for mercy: "Don't, don't kill me, I don't want this Spirit Stone Mountain anymore."

As he spoke, he flew toward the bottom of the Spirit Stone Mountain without looking back.

"Pfft~"

He had not flown very far when a Flying Sword pierced through his chest, taking his life.

"Bang~" a sound rang out.

His corpse fell to the foot of the Spirit Stone Mountain.

Seeing this scene, those cultivators who had originally wanted to join the fight for the Spirit Stone Mountain suddenly shivered, cutting off the greed in their hearts.

After several more rounds of melee, only one elderly rogue cultivator at the early Quasi-Emperor Realm remained alive, standing on the Spirit Stone Mountain.

He was bathed in blood, his clothes were tattered, and his whole body emitted a thick, bloody stench.

The entire person looked as grim and terrifying as a Hell Asura.

He slowly raised his head to look at Lin Taian in the void, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile as he said: "Head of the Family Lin, I won."

"En, this Head of the Family keeps his word; these one billion Superior Spirit Stones are yours!" Lin Taian nodded slightly and said indifferently.

No emotional change could be detected in his tone.

"Many thanks, Head of the Family Lin!" the old man bowed and thanked him.

Then, he hurriedly transferred the one billion Superior Spirit Stones into his own Storage Ring.

The crowd was very envious, but no one dared to go up and fight this rogue Quasi-Emperor Realm old man for them.

Although one billion Superior Spirit Stones was a heaven-defying fortune, one had to have the life to enjoy it.

Just like that, this rogue cultivator at the early Quasi-Emperor Realm, under the watchful eyes of everyone, flew away into the distance with the one billion Superior Spirit Stones.

"Mother, that old thief Lin Taian is probably plotting some other scheme again."

Luo Shen, who had been watching the situation here, walked to Qin Xinran's side and reminded her: "Child, although I don't know how this old thief will use his schemes next, his ultimate goal must be the Array Eye of the Protective Clan Array. Please, Mother, arrange for more trusted people to guard the Array Eye."

"En, Mother will go arrange it now." Qin Xinran nodded and said; she knew the Array Eye was of great importance and could not tolerate the slightest carelessness.

At the same time, she sighed in her heart: As expected of the number one beauty of the ancient times who has lived for hundreds of years, her mind is indeed more meticulous than her own.

Seeing that he had successfully established a reputation for integrity in front of the cultivators of the Donghua Continent, Lin Taian was satisfied.

Thus, he took a step forward and shouted toward the cultivators of the Donghua Continent who were still within the Su Clan Protective Array: "Fellow Daoists, you all saw it with your own eyes just now; I, Lin Taian, keep my word, and that cultivator has successfully pocketed those one billion Superior Spirit Stones."

"This Head of the Family has one more thing to ask of you all; if any Fellow Daoist is the first to accomplish it, my Lin Family will directly reward him with five billion Superior Spirit Stones!"

As soon as his voice fell, another mountain piled up with five billion Superior Spirit Stones appeared at his feet.

"Hiss~"

When they saw the Spirit Stone Mountain, which was five times larger than the previous one, everyone gasped.

This temptation was too great; it simply made them unable to resist rushing over to grab it.

But they all knew that trying to snatch it openly was simply courting death.

"Gulp~"

The sound of people swallowing saliva rose and fell at the scene.

One by one, they widened their eyes, rubbing their hands and fists.

"Head of the Family Lin, speak quickly! This old man is getting impatient."

"That's right, Head of the Family Lin, even if this old man doesn't want this head of mine, I have to give it a try."

"Heavens, this is five billion Superior Spirit Stones! It's fifty times my family's assets; this old man must get involved no matter what!"

They had all been skeptical of Lin Taian just now, but now that they had seen with their own eyes that the early Quasi-Emperor Realm rogue old man had really received those one billion Superior Spirit Stones, they were all filled with regret in their hearts.

Now that they saw there was still a chance to get five billion Superior Spirit Stones, how could they easily let it go?

Take a gamble, and a bicycle becomes a motorcycle!

"Good, since you all are so eager, this old man will not keep you in suspense."

Seeing that the atmosphere had been built up to the right point, Lin Taian pointed his finger at the Array Eye of the Su Clan Protective Array and smiled indifferently: "Whichever fellow Daoist is the first to destroy the Su Clan's Array Eye, these five billion Superior Spirit Stones will be theirs!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present instantly froze.

"Hiss~" Everyone collectively gasped.

Damn it, this is a bit of a trap!

Is the Array Eye of the Su Clan Protective Array something just anyone can destroy?

This is clearly forcing everyone to turn against the Su Family!

A group of people suddenly showed troubled expressions, and for a moment, no one dared to move.

There are nearly fifty thousand people here, of whom twenty thousand are Cultivators from the Donghua Continent, and the rest are their family members.

But who can guarantee how many people would openly stand out and make enemies of everyone for the sake of those five billion Superior Spirit Stones?

Moreover, although five billion Superior Spirit Stones are very tempting, they are not brainless brutes; each one of them knows that if they really did as Lin Taian instructed, it would be no different from stabbing the Su Family in the back and repaying kindness with enmity.

Afterwards, if word got out, they would be despised by all the righteous people in the world!

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became eerie.

Everyone looked at one another, staring blankly, each harboring their own ulterior motives!
