The red bead, as if drawn by something, made a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn and shot off like a streak of light in a certain direction.
And that direction was where Ye Feng was!
"Holy crap, what happened? Why is this treasure rushing towards that kid? This, this..."
For a moment, everyone watching was stunned, their laughter instantly ceasing.
Seeing this, Ye Feng himself was also bewildered. Before he could react, in the next second, the red bead directly shot into his mind.
Instantly, Ye Feng felt as if a sun had entered his mind. The terrifying heat made his expression change drastically, feeling as if his head was about to be roasted dry!
"Damn it, what the hell is this? How is this thing so fierce, and it can even drill in by itself!" Ye Feng was speechless, his sweat pouring down like crazy.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Sea God's Trident in his mind suddenly stirred, emitting a surge of powerful Sea God's energy to suppress the red bead.
At the same time, the Ding Shui Pearl dared not fall behind, emitting waves of white light and transforming into countless water spiritual energies to help suppress the red bead.
In the beginning, the red bead was still very unruly, attempting to resist.
However, soon, under the suppression of the Sea God's Trident and the Ding Shui Pearl, it quickly became obedient, lying quietly beside the Ding Shui Pearl and revolving endlessly around the Sea God's Trident.
"This..."
Seeing this, Ye Feng's eyes revealed surprise. Not long after, he suddenly thought of something and murmured, "No wonder the Ding Shui Pearl was acting strangely before. I understand now. This red bead is probably like the Ding Shui Pearl, or perhaps there's a connection between the two!"
Initially, Ye Feng was not sure. But after seeing this, Ye Feng directly concluded that this red bead, like the Ding Shui Pearl, was a treasure of a certain attribute.
And this attribute, judging by the spiritual energy emanating from the red bead, seemed to be related to fire.
He wasn't sure what it was specifically, as Ye Feng hadn't had time to test it.
Because at this moment, the people outside had already swarmed towards Ye Feng.
Seeing this, Ye Feng, without further thought, shouted to Wang Man and Luo Bing Shuang beside him, "You two, I've got the treasure, let's run!"
With that, Ye Feng unleashed the逍遥步 (Xiaoyao Bu - Carefree Steps) to its extreme, turning into a streak of light and fleeing into the distance.
Seeing this, the expressions of the other treasure seekers changed drastically, and they roared in anger, "Kid, stop! Where are you running? Leave the treasure!!"
Not only them, but even the Grandmaster Realm peak powerhouses of several major super forces, like Daoist Bai Yu, under the altar, made continuous moves, trying to stop Ye Feng.
They hadn't acted earlier because they were confident in their disciples and believed they could obtain the treasure.
However, it seemed they had overthought it. If they didn't act now, not only the treasure but possibly even a trace of it would be gone.
Seeing them make a move, Chu Zhan, who was beside them, naturally did not lag behind and immediately stepped forward to block them, preventing them from pursuing Ye Feng.
"Hmph, you want to fight? Get past me first!" Chu Zhan roared, sending a palm strike directly at Daoist Bai Yu.
Instantly, Daoist Bai Yu's face turned extremely grim. He could only stop and block, angrily shouting, "Chu Zhan, what are you doing? You can block me, but can you block them?"
Besides Daoist Bai Yu, there were two Grandmaster Realm peak powerhouses from the Cao family and Longhu Mountain. Could Chu Zhan block him, but could he block the remaining two?
Chu Zhan naturally knew this, but he still chose to act. For no other reason than Ye Feng was someone Chu Ling'er wanted to protect, he absolutely could not stand by and do nothing.
Therefore, even if his actions couldn't change much, he still had to act.
As for the rest, it would depend on Ye Feng's own performance. After all, he had done his best to help this kid!
Seeing Daoist Bai Yu being blocked by Chu Zhan, the Grandmaster Realm peak powerhouses from Longhu Mountain and the Cao family showed joy.
Because this way, they had one less competitor, which undoubtedly greatly increased their chances of obtaining the treasure.
However, before the two could be happy for long, in the next second, a person in black appeared in front of them, blocking their path.
"Hmm? Who are you to dare block the path of my Longhu Mountain? Hurry up and move aside, are you looking for death?" the Grandmaster Realm peak powerhouse from Longhu Mountain roared.
Hearing this, the Grandmaster Realm peak powerhouse from the Cao family became even more enraged, shouting, "If you don't want to die, get lost quickly, or I'll spill your blood here!"
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, the man in black chuckled lightly. In the next second, he uttered words that made both of them furious, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that with me here, you can't go anywhere!!"
"Seeking death!"
Upon hearing this, the two could no longer hold back. They roared in unison, attacking the man in black from both sides. The might of a Grandmaster Realm peak was terrifying.
However, facing the attack of the two, the man in black made no extra moves. He simply raised his hand, and a terrifying spiritual power poured out, directly repelling both of them.
Following that, their identical exclamations sounded simultaneously, their faces filled with shock: "How is this possible? Grandmaster Realm Perfection! Who are you?"
That's right, the man in black before them was a Grandmaster Realm Perfection expert!
They never expected that at such a critical moment, a Grandmaster Realm expert would appear. This was truly astonishing.
"You are not worthy of knowing my identity. I'll say it again, do you retreat or not!" the man in black said with extreme arrogance, as if facing not Grandmaster Realm peak experts, but mere disciples.
This made their faces turn extremely grim, and they almost couldn't resist attacking. However, after much deliberation, they stopped.
"Hmph, do you think you can protect that kid? Even without our intervention, he is still bound to die!" the two said with a cold smile.
Even if they didn't act, with the three major super forces, plus numerous first and second-tier forces, how could Ye Feng survive among so many experts?
Hearing this, the man in black seemed very confident in Ye Feng, saying, "You don't need to worry about that. You should worry about your disciples and how many of them can return later!"
With that, the man in black said no more, standing still like a sword, quietly watching the two.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, the two snorted and said nothing more. Since the other party wanted to watch, let them watch. They truly didn't believe that just a few people could stir up any significant waves!
At the same time, on the other side, facing the pursuit of the crowd, Ye Feng and the other two fled desperately.
However, as the number of pursuers grew, the escape range for the three of them became smaller and smaller. Just as they were about to be caught, Ye Feng said, "You two, if this continues, we'll be caught sooner or later. Why don't we split up and run? That way, our chances will be greater!"
Hearing this, the two did not hesitate and immediately nodded, "Good brother, we'll listen to you. Don't worry, once we get out, we'll immediately find people to rescue you!"
With that, Wang Man, without even looking at Ye Feng, turned into a streak of smoke and disappeared without a trace.
"Uh..." Ye Feng was momentarily speechless, but he didn't bother with him. He turned to look at Luo Bing Shuang, preparing to have her run in another direction.
However, at this moment, a massive black hole suddenly appeared beneath their feet...
