Devour: Emperor Yan

A world within a world.

It was nighttime.

Lin Kun and his six companions squatted in a patch of grass.

Under the cover of the grass, they rested and discussed things in hushed tones.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber.

"This day has finally come." Thor let out a soft breath and raised his hand to touch his bald head.

This is their eighth day in the Realm Within a Realm, and the ninth day is just around the corner.

Not long ago, Luo Feng and his two companions were summoned by the domain lord Ming Yu in the virtual universe.

The purpose of finding the three of them was quite simple.

Lord Kabu was a peak Realm Lord from tens of millions of years ago, and he was very famous.

His wealth is considerable, so it is estimated that there are many treasures within and outside the realm. Even the realm lords are very envious of them. If even a little bit of it were to be revealed, it would be enough for Ming Yu, the domain lord, to live a life of plenty.

The Hengxing army has only just begun queuing to enter the Thunder World, and it will take several more days to reach the Realm Within a Realm. That's why Mingyu approached Luo Feng and the others.

"What we need to do is find the treasure, and then give it to Mingyu—the one that will capture his heart!"

Luo Feng said in a deep voice, "We can act under Ming Yu's name within the realm, and no one will make things difficult for us once we leave."

Lin Kun and the others exchanged glances.

Currently, on Canglan Star, there is an army of over 200 million Hengxing-level ninth-tier soldiers lining up to enter the Thunder World.

This terrifying number is enough to make one hold their breath.

What's even more terrifying is that at this time, Canglan Star is also hosting a rare gathering of powerful figures in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.

A large group of cosmic-level beings.

More than 100 domain lords!

Nearly ten realm lords!

Powerful figures from all sides gathered together to suppress and seal off the entire Canglan Star, prohibiting other adventurers from entering the Thunder World. At the same time... once someone comes out from inside...

As long as they are not from the two holy lands, the four major organizations, or the sixteen major families, then... hehe.

This situation truly frightened Luo Feng and his two companions.

The major forces and organizations in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield have clearly joined forces, determined to swallow up this "big piece of fat meat"—the Realm Within a Realm!

Anyone who comes out of there and isn't one of their people will definitely be thoroughly investigated and searched, inside and out.

Being threatened and coerced is certain, and direct murder and plunder are also quite normal.

overbearing?

Yes, domineering!

A very normal kind of domineering behavior.

This move undoubtedly made Luo Feng and his companions feel uneasy.

After all, putting everything else aside, Luo Feng alone possesses quite a few valuable items.

Meteorite spaceship, immortal corpses, and so on...

Furthermore, Luo Feng brought the Golden Horned Beast itself with him, which could be discovered during a search.

The appearance of a golden-horned behemoth cub of the Eternal Star level means that even immortal beings would likely fight over it.

......

"Therefore, we have no choice but to participate in this treasure hunt. We must obtain at least one treasure that will tempt Mingyu, so that he will protect us after we get out," Luo Feng said helplessly.

"That's right."

Thor said, "Those big organizations and powerful forces have joined forces to seal off the entire Canglan Star. There's absolutely no way they'll let small fry like us with no background take the treasures right under their noses. As soon as we go out, we'll definitely be taken away and thoroughly interrogated and searched!"

"Once we get out, we need to rely on Mingyu's banner to leave Canglan Star smoothly."

"However, there is something I'm more worried about now."

Thor continued in a deep voice, "Even if we manage to find a treasure, we'll still have to follow Mingyu after we get out!"

"But what if Mingyu secretly kills us all and steals our treasures? He wouldn't have to pay any price, he could get all the treasures we've acquired, and he could keep it a secret..."

"Yes, it's not impossible." Hong nodded. "Although we are members of the Black Dragon Mountain branch of Virtual Universe Company, we are only external members. If we die, probably no one will care much."

"I'm worried about this too," Luo Feng said, rubbing his forehead in annoyance.

Great opportunities are often accompanied by great dangers; this is absolutely true.

They clearly only wanted to take the opportunity to mine some cosmic crystals on the outskirts, and didn't intend to compete for the treasure, but they still couldn't escape.

Only by cooperating with Mingyu can we ensure our safety and avoid being targeted by other forces or powerful individuals as soon as we go out.

But what if Mingyu plays dirty tricks, doesn't make choices or trade, and wants them all, thus killing them as well?

For a domain lord-level expert, killing a few of them would be as easy as turning one's hand.

Then, Luo Feng and the other two all turned to look at the silent Lin Kun. "Big brother, what do you think about this?"

Lin Kun hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's right to prepare for the worst, but there's no need to be so pessimistic."

"Mingyu approached us perhaps with the idea of ​​'shooting the fish regardless of whether it will yield results.'"

"After all, it wasn't just our small team that entered the Realm Within a Realm together; there were tens of thousands of people!"

"With tens of thousands of people, such a large number, Mingyu probably didn't have high expectations for our team. He just saw us as a pawn. It would be great if we gained something, but it wouldn't matter if we didn't."

"Moreover, there are many powerful figures gathered on Canglan Star now. If Ming Yu were to ambush and kill his own 'subordinates' to seize the treasure, the World Lord level experts would probably find out immediately. It seems that Ming Yu still has some shame and wouldn't be so disgusting as to make a move on Canglan Star."

"Strong people are very concerned about their reputation and dignity."

"Trust the promise of a strong person."

"Especially in a place like Canglan Star where powerful individuals gather, even the most cunning and treacherous person must maintain the most basic demeanor and dignity of a powerful person. Otherwise, if word gets out, their reputation will be completely ruined, and no one will dare to cooperate with them in the future."

These words eased the tension on Luo Feng and the other two's faces, and their worries lessened considerably.

"Also, if things don't go well, I'll reveal my talent beforehand to attract the attention of the Virtual Universe Company," Lin Kun said.

"Prematurely revealing your talent?" Luo Feng and the other two were taken aback.

"Yes, you know that old man who often hangs out in the Killing Arena's main hall, Lord Manluo, right?" Lin Kun asked.

Luo Feng and the other two nodded in agreement.

"He is an immortal being and a core member of the Virtual Universe Company. He often stays in the killing field, which is to discover elite geniuses for the company."

Lin Kun narrowed his eyes. "If things really aren't going well, I'll go to the killing field to find him and show him my strength and talent!"

"I think that a genius like me, who has a high probability of joining one of the four core secret realms through the genius battle, should attract the attention of that Lord Manluo, and will definitely protect me."

In fact, Lin Kun knew in his heart that there was a high probability that nothing would happen to their team.

It's always good to make the worst-case scenario plan beforehand, so that you have an extra way out.

......

"Yes, a genius like our eldest brother is likely to be able to enter the company's core secret realm in the future. The Virtual Universe Company will definitely pay attention to him!" Luo Feng and the other two's eyes lit up.

Lin Kun's words made them feel instantly much more relaxed.

Having this backup plan gives us a lot more confidence.

"Everyone, take a quick rest, and then we'll set off for the core area," Lin Kun said.

Luo Feng and the others nodded in agreement.

Currently, over 200 million star-level warriors are continuously entering the Thunder World.

It would take them about seven or eight days to reach the boundary within the boundary.

Therefore, Lin Kun and his group can no longer wander around this outer area; they need to hurry and get to the core area ahead of time.

During the eight or nine days they spent in the inner world, their team didn't dare to go to the core area.

Knowing that the place was rife with killings and chaos, they avoided getting involved.

Now, I have no choice but to go.

Putting aside Mingyu's instructions, the massive army of over 200 million that would arrive in seven or eight days would first appear in this outer area after entering through that entrance.

When the time comes, the army will disperse and sweep through the core area in a net-like fashion. If they encounter Lin Kun's team, they can wipe them out and make a small fortune. It's not a big deal.

Anyone within or outside the established order is a competitor, so the army won't give you face just because you're working under someone else's banner.

Even among their various powerful factions, they will fight each other for the treasure.

Only after we get out can we raise the big flag.

Those inside the inner world are all cannon fodder; no one will care how many die.
