Lin Bai arrived to find Ye Suxin and Bai Qing discussing a colossal Bronze Man. After a brief reunion, Lin Bai approached the automaton. As he stepped closer, the Bronze Man awakened, revealing immense power. Lin Bai attacked but was swiftly defeated, realizing the puppet was a Near-Dao Realm guardian.

A Near-Dao Realm puppet—never mind the Daogu Tribe—even across the entire Barbaric Ancient Continent today, is a rarely-seen treasure.

A single Near-Dao Realm puppet is enough to let a weak tribe rise into a great clan in a short time.

And the power of this puppet is on par with a Near-Dao Realm existence.

Looking across the Barbaric Ancient Continent now, aside from those hidden Supreme Strong Ones, who else can contend with a Near-Dao Realm puppet?

The Daogu Tribe placed this Near-Dao Realm puppet here clearly because they believed no one could break through its obstruction!

Ye Suxin helped Lin Bai up, and the two of them stared in shock at the Bronze Man before them.

Bai Qing said in a low voice, "Seems like as long as we don’t step Within Ten Steps of it, it won’t attack us!"

Ye Suxin said, "But if we want to look for the Dragon Corpse, we have to go through that Passageway behind the Bronze Man. If we can’t break past this Bronze Man, how are we supposed to enter that Passageway?"

Lin Bai also took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "This Bronze Man possesses Near-Dao Realm Strength. With our Cultivation, if we try to force our way past, we’re basically just courting death!"

Bai Qing said in a low voice, "Exactly!"

Lin Bai frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "If only someone could help us draw its attention away. And the one drawing its attention can’t have Cultivation too low—best if it’s a whole Crowd of them!"

"Maybe only then can we take advantage of the chaos to slip past this Bronze Man’s obstruction!"

Bai Qing drew a deep breath and said, "Then we wait. I’m sure the Warriors of the Emperor Tribe and Sword Pavilion Clan are almost here already."

Ye Suxin said in a low voice, "Lin Bai, heal first. Once your injuries recover, we’ll think of a plan."

Lin Bai silently nodded, took out some Healing Pills from his Storage Bag, swallowed them, and sat cross-legged to start healing.

Bai Qing sat off to one side of the stone wall, closed his Eyes to rest, silent, no one knew what he was thinking.

Ye Suxin knelt beside Lin Bai, her gaze empty, seemingly lost in thought as well.

The three of them quieted down in this Melting Cave.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed just like that.

On this day, Lin Bai was still healing when he suddenly heard sounds coming from within the Passageway, and slowly opened his Eyes.

"Elder Suyong He, do we really have to choose this path seeking death?"

"It doesn’t look that good to me!"

"You know shit. Don’t you understand the saying ’riches are sought amidst danger’?"

"Hmph, you lot still want to go treasure hunting? You don’t know life from death!"

"Do you know that half of the Treasures on my body were brought out of Desperate situations? Believe me, only on dead-end paths will you find great Treasures!"

"Besides, we have over thirty Warriors here, more than ten of them at the Wending Realm, and there’s me, a Seventh Level of the Wending Realm Strong One. Even if we encounter danger, I can guarantee all of you retreat intact!"

"..."

A Crowd of Warriors’ voices echoed from the Passageway.

Lin Bai, Bai Qing, and Ye Suxin all raised their Eyes, looking into the Passageway.

Warrior after Warrior walked out of the Passageway and looked toward the Melting Cave ahead.

"Hm? There are others?" After more than thirty Warriors walked out of the Passageway, they looked toward Lin Bai, Bai Qing, and the others.

This group was He Ran from the Sword Pavilion Clan.

For this treasure hunt in the Seven Star Mountain Range, many Strong Ones of the Sword Pavilion Clan’s Tribal Warriors had come; nearly eighteen Wending Realm Warriors arrived, and half of them were here.

And within the Crowd, Lin Bai also saw traces of Su Shaoyou.

"You!" Su Shaoyou also saw Lin Bai, his Eyes glaring angrily at Lin Bai. He hurriedly said to the Elder before him, "Elder Suyong He, it’s this man who killed Elders Su Tian and Su Wen!"

The Middle-aged Man leading the Sword Pavilion Clan swept his Eyes horizontally toward Lin Bai, killing intent flashing in his gaze. "Brat, you dare kill Elders of my Sword Pavilion Clan? Your life has reached its end!"

The other Elders of the Sword Pavilion Clan also turned their gazes toward Lin Bai, all unfriendly.

Ye Suxin asked curiously, "What happened?"

Lin Bai chuckled lightly. "Just a small matter."

At this moment, Suyong He looked at the massive Bronze Man before him, then at the surrounding stone walls, and asked curiously, "You three are Warriors who arrived here earlier than us. What’s the secret of this place? Tell us."

Bai Qing remained silent, completely ignoring Suyong He.

Lin Bai and Ye Suxin clearly had no wish to respond to Suyong He either.

Suyong He’s expression darkened. He looked at Lin Bai and said coldly, "Are you all deaf?"

Bai Qing couldn’t help speaking now: "The Bronze Man up ahead is extremely powerful. The three of us couldn’t get past, so we’ve been waiting here for other Warriors to arrive, planning to work together to defeat the Bronze Man before proceeding to the next level."

Upon hearing this, Suyong He said, "So that’s how it is."

Ye Suxin said, "Just right—since all the Seniors of the Sword Pavilion Clan are here, if we join forces, we should be able to get through this Bronze Man’s obstruction!"

Suyong He let out a cold laugh and said, "Hmph, we of the Sword Pavilion Clan have brought more than thirty Warriors. Naturally we can break through this Bronze Man’s obstruction. Our numbers are enough—why would we need you?"

Hearing this, Ye Suxin’s face went Iron Green.

Judging from Suyong He’s Meaning, he clearly had no intention of joining forces with Lin Bai and the others.

Suyong He now looked to Lin Bai and said softly, "And as it happens, you killed Elders of my Sword Pavilion Clan. It’s time you paid in blood."

"Once we kill you, we’ll slowly deal with these Bronze Men."

Hearing this, Su Shaoyou hurriedly said, "Elder Suyong He, leave that woman alive..."

Suyong He glanced at Ye Suxin and naturally understood Su Shaoyou’s Meaning. He said irritably, "Hmph, blinded by lust. One day you’ll die at a woman’s hands."

Su Shaoyou gave an awkward smile and said nothing more.

Suyong He said coldly, "Su Sha, go kill him and avenge the two dead Elders. Also, since Su Shaoyou likes that woman, then spare her life for now!"

Behind Suyong He, a Warrior at the Fourth Level of the Wending Realm cupped his fists and said, "As you command."

Immediately, this Warrior stepped out from behind Suyong He and walked toward Lin Bai.

After he had taken three steps, a surge of Fourth Level of the Wending Realm power burst forth, sweeping toward Lin Bai like a Storm.

"Move!" Lin Bai shoved Ye Suxin aside, took out the Wooden Sword from his Storage Bag, and sent a killing Sword strike flying out.

Rumble—

A thunderous boom echoed out.

Su Sha looked at Lin Bai with a cold smile and said, "So you’re a Sword Cultivator. Hmph. Su Tian and Su Wen, those two useless trash—Elders of the Sword Pavilion Clan and Sword Cultivators, yet they actually died at the hands of a Junior Sword Cultivator. They’ve really disgraced the Sword Pavilion Clan!"

"Brat, today I’ll show you how powerful Sword Cultivators of the Sword Pavilion Clan are!"

Su Sha let out a cold snort. His Storage Bag split open, and an Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact flew out, landing in his palm. He thrust his Sword to kill toward Lin Bai.

Lin Bai wielded the Wooden Sword and clashed fiercely with Su Sha.
