"The next opening of Treasure Canyon will be in a year. By then, you will all be re-evaluated, and only those who pass the assessment and rank on the combat power list can enter Treasure Canyon again."
The Golden Light Child looked at the crowd and spoke lightly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yong and the others were like being doused with a bucket of cold water.
The implication of the Golden Light Child's words was that they had to break through to the next realm, the Creation Realm, within a year.
Given the talent of the group, most were now at the Half-step to Creation Realm or the Peak of the Nirvana Realm, so breaking through to the Creation Realm in one year was theoretically possible.
But the problem was, if they really broke through to the Creation Realm, they would have no chance to return to the Mysterious Heaven Continent.
After all, the current transport channel was not stable enough to support martial artists above the Creation Realm coming and going.
As such, it would mean they could no longer enter Treasure Canyon.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yong, Yun Xinrui, and the others' faces changed drastically, while Lin Chen, Zi Ling, Zhang Hongying, and others were filled with joy.
After all, for them, breaking through to the next realm in a year would not reach the Creation Realm cultivation level.
Moreover, without Liu Yong, Yun Xinrui, Liu Yang, Tan Yu, and Bai Ze, they would encounter much less trouble.
Without these heavenly prides vying against them, exploring treasures in Treasure Canyon would be much easier.
Thinking of this, Zhang Caiyun and others were pleased, but Yun Xinrui and Bao Ze felt extreme regret.
Yun Xinrui's gaze was fixated on Zhang Hongying, Zhang Caiyun, and Zhang Lin of the Zhang Family.
In Treasure Canyon, the Zhang Family used that fiery crystal stone to attack him, severely injuring him, and he almost lost his life under the thunderfire attack.
When he was hit by the fiery crystal stone, he immediately went to find the Zhang Family members, but didn't see a single trace of them.
Due to the intense pressure in Treasure Canyon, one could not fly and had to rely on walking, so those three shouldn't have gotten far.
Yet, Yun Xinrui couldn't find any trace of the three.
In fact, if it weren't for Lin Chen finding a secluded spot and setting up a Concealment Formation, Zhang Caiyun and the others wouldn't have escaped Yun Xinrui's pursuit.
At this moment, the three sensed the killing intent from Yun Xinrui and became vigilant.
After all, Yun Xinrui was very powerful, and if he really attacked, the three wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Moreover, they hadn't left the Combat Power Hall yet, and Yun Xinrui wasn't likely to dare act against them.
Especially since in the Combat Power Hall, the Golden Light Child was the absolute master here, Yun Xinrui wouldn't dare make a move against Zhang Caiyun and others in front of the Golden Light Child.
Although Yun Xinrui was angry, he still maintained his rationality, knowing it wasn't necessary to rush into dealing with Zhang Caiyun and others immediately.
Yun Xinrui didn't know at the time that it was the Lin Family who rescued Zhang Caiyun, Zhang Hongying, and Zhang Lin from his pursuit, otherwise, he might get so angry he'd spit blood.
After coming out of Treasure Canyon, Bai Ze was the first to leave the Combat Power Hall.
Joking aside, the great hall was now filled with the forces of Yunlong Heavenly Palace. If Bai Ze stayed there, who knows if they'd unite against him, and he surely couldn't handle so many people.
Seeing Bai Ze leave, the Cloud Dragon Kingdom people didn't dare make any moves, as none except Yun Xinrui and Tan Yu could rival Bai Ze.
As for teaming up, maybe they could keep Bai Ze here forever if they joined forces.
But they didn't trust each other to give their all, and no one wanted to provoke Bai Ze and be eternally hated by him.
Subsequently, everyone began leaving the Combat Power Hall too.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, Yun Xinrui might retaliate against the Zhang Family. Should we intervene?"
Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen, transmitting her voice to ask.
Previously in Treasure Canyon, aided by the explosion of a Flame Explosion Talisman, the site turned into a sea of fire, and Lin Chen, Zi Ling, and Cheng Liang used the fire cover to rescue Zhang Caiyun and others.
But to continue aiding the Zhang Family now would mean openly opposing Yun Xinrui.
Though Zi Ling was confident in her own cultivation, she knew her limits, and that she wasn't a match for Yun Xinrui, so she informed Lin Chen beforehand. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel_fіre.net
"I know, our Ninth Prince won't let this go easily." Lin Chen said, "Let's split up after a while; I'll lure Yun Xinrui away, and you'll take Cheng Liang, Zhang Hongying, Zhang Caiyun, and Zhang Lin towards Yang Flame Island."
"Zhang Hongying and Zhang Caiyun know the island's location. They'll lead you there, and once you're on the island, it'll be easier to handle things."
"No way, we leave together. We won't abandon you to escape ourselves."
Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen and spoke immediately.
Her heart was full of worry, as Lin Chen's cultivation was only at the Eighth Layer of the Nirvana Realm, while Yun Xinrui's was just a hair away from breaking through to the Creation Realm, a true powerhouse.
So Zi Ling refused to let Lin Chen stay behind to deal with Yun Xinrui alone.
"Senior Sister Zi Ling, rest assured. I have my own way of handling Yun Xinrui. If you stay, you'll only be a burden to me."
Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling and the others, smiling lightly as he spoke.
"Lin Chen, are you really confident in dealing with Yun Xinrui?"
Hearing this, Zi Ling's eyes brightened, half-doubting, she asked Lin Chen.
"Rest assured, Senior Sister. When have I ever lied to you? I never do things without confidence, and even if I can't handle him, I have ways to protect myself."
Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling seriously and said.
Upon hearing this, Zi Ling nodded half-doubtingly. Though she believed Lin Chen, she still felt uneasy.
Zi Ling naturally knew of Lin Chen's methods, his true strength couldn't be judged solely by his cultivation.
Just like in the cave in Treasure Canyon, in the Stone Chamber, with his cultivation, entering should have led to his annihilation, yet Lin Chen successfully obtained the Water of Life.
