Chapter 1840: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, Betraying Tianniu Continent!!

"Junior does not understand why others received two rewards, while this Wang only received a Soul Armor!" Wang Lin showed no politeness. He was no longer alone, but an Elder of the Great Soul Gate.

Therefore, he absolutely could not tolerate this matter. Even if it were the Sect Master of the Guiyi Sect, he would still question them.

"Your cultivation is the lowest; one Armor is enough. This matter was decided after discussion between this Sect and the Great Soul Gate. You may not understand, but you must accept it. If you dislike this Five Elements Fire Armor, then this old man will take it back." As the majestic voice echoed, the flaming Armor floating in mid-air immediately expanded with a roar, transforming back into a sea of fire that rolled back towards the main hall.

"Since it's the result of a discussion, is there any proof?" Wang Lin looked at the main hall and slowly spoke.

As Wang Lin's words fell, a faint light immediately flew out from the main hall. Within that faint light was a white hair, which exploded upon flying out, vaguely forming a figure.

This figure was precisely Old Ancestor Qing Niu!

"Regarding the reward, since this is the reason, this old man will not change it. If Wang Lin does not comply, this can be used as proof!"

Wang Lin stared at the illusory Old Ancestor Qing Niu. He knew that this was not a Clone of Old Ancestor Qing Niu, but a wisp of Divine Sense imprint.

"Proof has been given to you, retreat!" The cold voice of the Guiyi Sect Master came from the main hall.

Wang Lin's expression showed no fluctuation. If this matter truly was the result of discussions between the Great Soul Gate and the Guiyi Sect, then given such an injustice, he, Wang Lin, would no longer need to consider his agreement with Old Ancestor Qing Niu of the Great Soul Gate.

In silence, Wang Lin said nothing more, but stood there calmly, as if nothing had happened before, and he felt no heartache for the Fire Armor that had been taken back by the Guiyi Sect Master.

"This old man will now use a Divine Ability to activate my Guiyi Sect's Ten-Thousand-Year Immovable Great Array, sending you four into the Green Devil Continent. Before that, you four must leave a wisp of your Life Soul. With your Life Souls, this old man can transfer you back from the Green Devil Continent at any time after you complete your mission!"

The mention of "Life Soul" caused Wang Lin's pupils to contract imperceptibly. The advantage of this was being able to be transferred back, but the disadvantage also existed: losing freedom, with one's whereabouts constantly controlled by the other party.

Yun Yifeng, as a Disciple of the Guiyi Sect, naturally did not hesitate. He raised his right hand and patted his glabella. With a tremor of his body, a wisp of soul Qi diffused, forming a soul orb that shot straight towards the main hall.

The Elder Bian Yun hesitated slightly, but likewise did not refuse, drawing out a wisp of his Life Soul and sending it into the main hall.

As for Tang Jia, she was silent for a long while, then gritted her silver teeth. For the development of her Sect, she could sacrifice anything, not to mention that this matter should inherently be so; otherwise, they would not be able to be transferred back from the Green Devil Continent by the Guiyi Sect.

After all three had sent out their Life Souls, only Wang Lin remained.

Wang Lin was silent. After a long time, he looked at the main hall and slowly spoke.

"I refuse this matter. I need to return to the Great Soul Gate to meet the Old Ancestor before making a decision. Farewell!" Wang Lin said, slowly retreating, about to leave the plaza.

"You can leave, but leave the Soul Armor!" The majestic voice from the main hall suddenly rose, and a black hand, formed of mist, appeared, covering the sky, and grabbed towards Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed with cold light. In that instant, countless thoughts raced through his mind. The change in events made it difficult for him to analyze what exactly was happening here.

Old Ancestor Qing Niu's change in attitude, and the Guiyi Sect's sudden obstruction—it seemed there was something Wang Lin didn't know, subtly unfolding.

He even had a feeling that if he handed over the Soul Armor, he would certainly not be able to leave the Guiyi Sect, and without the cultivation boost from the Soul Armor, his situation would be extremely perilous.

This feeling was quite strong. In reality, Wang Lin did not intend to keep the Soul Armor for himself. His original plan was to fulfill Old Ancestor Qing Niu's three conditions, repay the three gifts, leave the Soul Armor for Tianniu Continent, and depart alone.

After all, this item did not belong to him personally, but to the entire Tianniu Continent.

But this strange turn of events made Wang Lin's heart fill with intense vigilance. He didn't know what changes had occurred within Tianniu Continent during his half-year stay in the Extreme Heaven Grassland!

Under such uncertainty, he absolutely could not allow the Soul Armor to be taken away. With the Soul Armor, he still had a sliver of self-preservation. Without it, he felt as if he were at the edge of a bottomless abyss!

"This matter began the moment I arrived at the Great Soul Gate. The other party first showed obvious unfairness; if I spoke out, I would fall into a trap. If I remained silent and acquiesced, this mention of the Life Soul would still come… forcing me to comply!

Ultimately, today's events are targeting me!

There's a problem here!! The Guiyi Sect knows my identity, knows I'm from the Immortal Cave Realm, and even knows of Xuan Luo's existence, yet they still act this way…" Wang Lin couldn't understand, but at this moment, he couldn't afford to think too much. Between abandoning the Armor to face an unknown outcome and fighting with the Armor, he unhesitatingly chose the latter!

Almost the instant the large hand arrived, amidst the stunned expressions of Bian Yun, Tang Jia, and Yun Yifeng, the Heavenly Ox totem on Wang Lin's right cheek suddenly emitted endless black light. That black light instantly enveloped Wang Lin's entire body, transforming into countless black threads that spread over his body, forming a pitch-black Armor that covered his face, with only his white hair moving without wind.

Wang Lin's cultivation, at the moment he put on this Armor, surged dramatically, directly rising from the Empty Tribulation Realm Late Stage to the Empty Tribulation Realm Early Stage. He suddenly raised his right hand, and the Spirit Command Seal roared to the sky, transforming into the enormous six-fingered demon seal, directly confronting the grabbing black hand with a strike.

Booming sounds, earth-shattering, erupted in that instant on the Guiyi Sect plaza. The six-fingered demon seal instantly collapsed, but the grabbing black hand also trembled and collapsed by half. However, a portion of it still whistled forward, landing on Wang Lin's body.

With Wang Lin's current cultivation, being touched by the remaining black palm caused his face to instantly turn pale, blood to spill from the corner of his mouth, and his body to tumble backward, rapidly retreating.

"Wang Lin has betrayed Tianniu Continent! By the Soul Dispersion Order, any Cultivator of my Tianniu Continent may kill him! Whoever kills this person shall be rewarded with a Fire-attribute Five Elements Armor, a Vice Flag of the Great Soul Gate's Mountain Gate Ghost Sail, and one Heavenly Ox Bead!"

As Wang Lin's body rapidly retreated, upon hearing these words, he gritted his teeth, an indescribable emotion rising in his heart. He vaguely felt that these three items were originally intended as rewards for himself… As soon as these words were spoken, Bian Yun's expression immediately changed dramatically, showing disbelief. Without hesitation, the Heavenly Ox totem on the right side of his face immediately flickered with a faint light, transforming into fine threads that enveloped his entire body, instantly forming a set of Heavenly Ox Soul Armor identical to Wang Lin's. His cultivation surged, breaking through from the Empty Tribulation Realm Middle Stage to the Empty Tribulation Realm Late Stage, and in a flash, he chased after Wang Lin!

The reason for his action was precisely the words "Heavenly Ox Bead"!

The Heavenly Ox Beads were discovered by the Great Soul Gate and the Guiyi Sect countless years ago when they opened the Seven Heavenly Ox Apertures. There were only seven of these beads, containing many transformations, usable as Magic Treasures, and even possessing the ability to alter time within them, allowing Cultivators to enter and Cultivate.

But merely that would not be much. Most importantly, this bead could store the Heavenly Ox Soul, allowing those with Heavenly Ox Soul Armor to become an independent existence, not unable to use the Soul Armor again simply by being far from the two Tianniu Continents.

With a Heavenly Ox Bead, even in the Ancient Clan lands on the Immortal Astral Continent, one could still wear the Soul Armor, because this bead was equivalent to the soul of the Heavenly Ox!

Wang Lin had never heard of the Heavenly Ox Bead; otherwise, he would surely have made an astonishing discovery: this bead, and an item of his, seemed to be extremely similar in some aspects!

Of the seven Heavenly Ox Beads, the Guiyi Sect had three, and the Great Soul Gate had four. For countless years, they had never been offered as rewards, but were kept as the Sect's ultimate treasures, used to solidify the mountain gate array and, at the same time, construct a Holy Land for Disciples to Cultivate for extended periods!

This Holy Land could only be perfectly formed when three beads were together. Therefore, the Sect that could offer this one bead could definitely not be the Guiyi Sect; it could only be the Great Soul Gate, which had an extra bead!

And the Great Soul Gate's Mountain Protecting Ghost Sail Array was an even greater ultimate secret of the Great Soul Gate; if its Vice Flag was in hand, it could unleash immense power even from a great distance.

These two items were enough to drive people mad! Therefore, Bian Yun's eyes turned red, and he chased after Wang Lin at high speed.

Tang Jia's body trembled. After a few breaths of silence, she gritted her silver teeth, and black light permeated her entire body, instantly manifesting her Soul Armor. Her cultivation suddenly surged, directly reaching the Empty Tribulation Realm Middle Stage, and she flashed forward, chasing after them.

Only Yun Yifeng remained silent in place, his face gloomy, not giving chase. But the moment Tang Jia rushed out, he suddenly opened his mouth and transmitted a Divine Thought to Tang Jia.

Tang Jia, who had just risen into the air to give chase, trembled all over upon hearing Yun Yifeng's words, and sharply turned her head to look at Yun Yifeng.

"Is this true!"

Yun Yifeng looked at Tang Jia and nodded.

Tang Jia's expression was complex. She turned into a long rainbow and chased after them again, but her mindset had undergone a drastic change from before.

After Tang Jia left, Yun Yifeng turned to look at the main hall and knelt on one knee.

"Sect Master, you must give this Disciple an explanation! This Disciple has already fully informed you of Wang Lin's identity and his relationship with Great Heavenly Venerate Xuan Luo…"

There was a period of silence in the main hall. After a long, long time, a weary sigh was heard.

Wang Lin sped through the Guiyi Sect, his expression grim, his Divine Sense spread out. But he quickly noticed something was amiss: the entire Guiyi Sect was utterly silent. No one came to stop his rushing figure, and even the Guiyi Sect's mountain gate array seemed to have been shut down at this moment.
