Chapter 352: Scheme, Judgment of Thunder!
"Since they're here, naturally we should invite them out. After all, opening the Reincarnation Realm requires the power of all three Silver Towers."
A faint smile played at the corner of Pang Hao's mouth, carrying a hint of deeper meaning.
The woman in white lifted her gaze slightly and said, "Those Lin Fan brothers aren't like us—they have no backing like Xuan Heaven Palace or Nine Nether Gate. From what I know, they're just rogue cultivators."
"Now that so many powerful people have gathered on this island, while they might not dare to target our Silver Towers, if the Lin Fan brothers are exposed... they might find themselves in a world of trouble."
"Heh, if they don't have the strength to hold onto it, the Silver Tower will only bring them disaster. Better to hand it over and keep their lives," Pang Hao said lightly, rubbing the teacup in his hand.
"I'm merely offering them a way out... Otherwise, if someone sets their sights on them after entering the Reincarnation Realm, they won't even have the chance to escape."
Seeing this, the woman in white didn't say more. Calm and indifferent, she clearly had no interest in speaking on behalf of people unrelated to her.
Pang Hao rose with a smile, walked to the edge of the tower, and gazed out at the city below.
All around the city were countless powerful cultivators, some of them visibly fierce and dangerous.
When they saw Pang Hao's figure appear, many of them frowned subtly, and greed flickered in their eyes.
It was obvious they coveted the Silver Tower in Pang Hao's possession as well. But with so many powerful Nine Nether Gate cultivators present, no one dared to act recklessly.
"Heh," Pang Hao chuckled, his voice spreading across the sky, instantly drawing the attention of countless gazes.
"I have good news for everyone—the bearer of the third Silver Tower has also arrived at the Thunder Sea Domain..."
As his voice faded, silence blanketed the city for a brief moment—before a sudden uproar exploded. Many of the experts who had been watching from the sidelines now had expressions of wild joy.
The key to opening the Reincarnation Realm lay in three Silver Towers. Two had already fallen into the hands of Xuan Heaven Palace and Nine Nether Gate.
With the might of those two factions, naturally few dared to provoke them.
So, most people had set their sights on the final Silver Tower.
And according to the rumors, the third bearer had no powerful backing.
"That bastard!"
In the city, Lin Dong's expression darkened at Pang Hao's words, cursing under his breath. Then he leaned closer and asked, "Big Brother Lin Fan, what do we do?"
Lin Fan replied calmly, "Simple. The old way—kill one as a warning to the rest. If someone wants to covet our Silver Tower, we keep killing until no one dares to anymore."
Though Lin Fan's tone was even, it was laced with chilling killing intent.
Lin Dong had originally considered retreating for now and hiding until the Reincarnation Realm opened, but hearing Lin Fan's reasoning, he realized it made sense. He immediately dismissed the thought of leaving.
"Brother Pang Hao, if the third bearer has arrived, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to bring him out. After all, opening the realm is a common goal—it's no good if one person keeps hiding," said a man laughing from mid-air, a massive guan dao strapped to his back.
His face was covered in scars, making him look incredibly fierce. Those who recognized him knew he was a well-known figure in the chaos of the Devil Sea.
"That's right, we'll have to trouble Nine Nether Gate to bring out our friend," came a chorus of voices echoing his sentiment, though everyone could see the greed brewing behind them.
In the crowd, hearing the sea of voices, Lin Dong and Mu Lingshan's eyes flickered with cold anger.
As for Lin Fan—he had long anticipated this and remained completely expressionless.
Whoosh!
Just then, a streak of silver light descended from the sky, enveloping all three of them before anyone could react.
"Hehe, since our three friends are already here, why not step forward and say hello to everyone?" Pang Hao smiled as he looked at the trio wrapped in silver light.
As countless eyes turned their way, there was a moment of stunned silence before the crowd instinctively parted. The space around Lin Fan and the others cleared, and burning, greedy stares locked onto them.
Under those scorching gazes, Lin Fan looked up at Pang Hao atop the stone tower and said flatly, "Should I be thanking you for making us famous?"
"Hehe, no need for thanks," Pang Hao replied with a laugh, as if not hearing the sarcasm in Lin Fan's words. "Since you're also a bearer of the Silver Tower, how about coming up for a chat?"
On the tower, the woman in white shifted her gaze ever so slightly, now fixed on the young man surrounded by countless hungry wolves below. A flicker of intrigue passed through her eyes.
"Then I'll graciously accept," Lin Fan replied with a faint smile and began walking toward the stone tower.
With countless eyes following them, Lin Fan and his companions walked down the ancient stone-paved street toward the tower. The gazes trailing them burned with intense greed.
Tap.
As Lin Fan's group drew closer to the stone tower, someone finally lost their patience.
Several figures cloaked in killing intent stepped forward, waves of powerful Yuan Power radiating slowly from their bodies.
"So, you're Lin Fan? Hand over the Silver Tower key, and I'll spare your life!"
Lin Fan lifted his gaze slightly. Not far ahead stood four figures holding blades, forming a fan-shaped formation to trap them.
The four wore blood-red robes adorned with blood-knife emblems, and a faint stench of blood radiated from them.
Judging by their aura, all four were at the Great Completion stage of the Life Profound Realm. The leader had even reached the peak of that stage.
On this island, their strength was nothing to scoff at.
Countless gazes turned toward them, and hushed murmurs spread through the crowd.
"Those are the Four Blood Blades from the Blood Blade Sect. The leader is Lu Zong, right?"
"They really jumped the gun. So impatient... aren't they worried they'll bite off more than they can chew?"
"Wonder how those Lin brothers will handle this. These four are infamous even in the Devil Sea!"
…
"You want the Silver Tower key? I just wonder if you have the life to take it," Lin Fan said coldly, withdrawing his gaze from the four.
"Big talk for someone about to die!" sneered the scar-faced leader in red. His expression twitched, then twisted into a bloody grin.
"Remember my name—Lu Zong of the Blood Blade Sect. Since you've brought the Silver Tower with you, I'll make sure you die knowing who killed you."
His smile widened as his gaze turned venomous. "Kill him!"
Boom!
With Lu Zong's order, the other three erupted with surging Yuan Power. Gripping their blood-colored sabers, they charged forward. Under the sunlight, their blades reflected a chilling gleam.
"You two, fall back."
Lin Fan gave a simple order to Lin Dong and Mu Lingshan before stepping forward.
He clenched his fist, and in an instant, dazzling lightning burst from his palm.
Rumble!
As the lightning surged forth, the entire world dimmed. Thunderclouds formed above, blotting out the sky, and a terrifying pressure began to spread.
With a shift of his fingers, the thunderclouds above twisted and rolled. The ominous rumbling thunder carried a powerful wave of force that swept outward.
"Judgment of Thunder."
Lin Fan's voice rang cold and divine, echoing through the heavens.
Boom!
As his words fell, lightning in the clouds began to converge wildly. In the blink of an eye, four massive thunder spears, like doomsday weapons, emerged from the clouds and shot straight toward the Four Blood Blades like bolts of divine retribution.
