Chapter 987: Chapter 987 The Turmoil Begins

"Why is there such a powerful aura existing within this Grey Marsh Plain?"

Lin Chen looked up at the sky-piercing column of light, his eyes slightly narrowed, filled with confusion.

That powerful aura was likely to be beyond the Creation Realm, possibly even stronger than Qin Batian.

Facing such a strong opponent, even Lin Chen felt powerless to resist; perhaps only by using the Dragon Fang Dagger and the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron could he contend against it.

Lin Chen was perplexed. How could such a powerful creature exist within the Grey Marsh Plain, and what was its purpose?

Recalling that the Red Soul Hall insisted on changing the battlefield to the Grey Marsh Plain, Lin Chen couldn’t help but suspect whether this was their conspiracy.

He looked towards Li Chu, Xue Qing, and Mu Qingxue at a distance; all three showed puzzled faces, seeming not to know what had happened.

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed even more. If it wasn’t Red Soul Hall’s conspiracy, was there really an unparalleled powerhouse emerging within the Grey Marsh Plain?

After all, both the Grey Marsh Plain and the Cold Frost Mountain Range were filled with mystery and weirdness; no one knew how the ancient restrictions came to be.

These restrictions were either man-made or naturally generated by some powerful magic treasures or objects, but regardless of which, there should be a reason.

However, the timing of this powerhouse’s awakening was too coincidental, happening just about ten days after they entered the Grey Marsh Plain.

It seemed there must be a reason behind this.

While everyone was guessing the origin of that powerful aura in the plain, Xue Qing, Li Chu, and Mu Qingxue suddenly turned their gaze in one direction.

"Who’s there, come out!"

Xue Qing looked towards a thicket behind him and shouted loudly.

Given the current deadlock with Lin Chen, any external force could change the situation; therefore, the three had to stay highly vigilant.

As long as no new Martial Artists from the Divine Flame Alliance joined in, once the three recovered some strength, it was possible to wear down Lin Chen here.

They clearly felt that there was a fifth presence in this place.

"Why continue to hide? Come out now, or don’t blame us for being rude."

Xue Qing looked towards the distant thicket with a chilly expression, gathering a mass of power in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.

If the newcomer was from the Red Soul Hall, there would be no need to hide like this, and they should appear directly to help them against Lin Chen, as killing Lin Chen was the order from that important person.

At this moment, the person within the thicket hearing Xue Qing’s words, walked out. It turned out to be Gong Siyuan, who had a grudge against Lin Chen.

"Haha, it turns out to be a guy from the Divine Flame Alliance, and he’s even your fellow sect member, Lin Chen."

"Unexpectedly, Lin Chen, your reputation is so poor that this guy, even hiding in the shadows, is unwilling to come out and help you. It’s truly laughable."

Li Chu seized every opportunity to ridicule Lin Chen; seeing Gong Siyuan observing but not helping Lin Chen, he immediately started to mock.

Although Lin Chen did nothing wrong and it was all Gong Siyuan’s doing, Li Chu would not miss any chance to belittle Lin Chen.

At this moment, Xue Qing, seeing the newcomer was Gong Siyuan, gradually calmed down a bit.

After all, as long as the comer wasn’t an expert like Han Feiyu or Han Tianyu, they would not pose a threat to the three of them.

However, whether Gong Siyuan helped Lin Chen was not important, because with Gong Siyuan’s Cultivation, even if he took action, he wouldn’t be a match for Xue Qing, Li Chu, and Mu Qingxue.

Even Mu Qingxue, the weakest among them could not be handled by him.

If Gong Siyuan really took action, Lin Chen might intervene to save him due to their sect companionship, which would only drag Lin Chen down.

At this moment, Li Chu mocked Lin Chen, eagerly awaiting this day for years.

Yet, he thought such words would make Lin Chen sad; but in reality, Lin Chen felt nothing at all.

Gong Siyuan’s face struggled to maintain composure upon hearing Xue Qing’s words.

After all, being the Heavenly Pride of the Formation Sect and being judged like this by Xue Qing was frustrating, but there was nothing he could do, as neither Lin Chen, Xue Qing, nor Mu Qingxue were a match for him.

For Gong Siyuan, when Lin Chen was in the limelight at the Formation Sect, even Qin Batian stood by Lin Chen’s side.

After learning about Lin Chen’s background, Gong Siyuan dared not provoke Lin Chen any further, and could even be said to be avoiding Lin Chen.

At this moment, Gong Siyuan realized that this was an excellent opportunity to protect Lin Chen.

The three from the Red Soul Hall were strong, and Lin Chen, no matter how powerful, would have difficulty facing all three of them.

Gong Siyuan wished for Lin Chen to die here, but as a member of the Divine Flame Alliance, he did not want Lin Chen to genuinely fall at the hands of the Red Soul Hall trio.

However, Gong Siyuan did not want Lin Chen to die in the Grey Marsh Plain, because if Lin Chen died, they would not only lose the contest, but other Martial Artists from the Divine Flame Alliance might also encounter more bad luck than good.

In fact, Gong Siyuan had not wanted to reveal himself, as he had been hiding here for a while.

Lin Chen and Xue Qing and the others were latecomers.

Yet, as fate would have it, just moments ago, a huge Spiritual Power fluctuation occurred inside the Grey Marsh Plain, as if a powerful creature had awakened, causing the ancient restrictions to emit huge fluctuations, which led to Gong Siyuan’s exposure.

Gong Siyuan looked at Xue Qing, fear in his heart.

He didn’t have the strength like Lin Chen’s, to contend with the three; any one of them could defeat him.

Now Gong Siyuan could only stand on Lin Chen’s side because if Xue Qing and the others wanted to kill him, he had no ability to resist.

Now he could only pray that Lin Chen would save him.
