There was an intense battle among a group of people on a floating island located twenty kilometers away from Yun Lintian. Judging from the way they fought, it seemed like they were all complete strangers.
Seeing that Yun Lintian didn't react, Bai Xue followed his gaze and was surprised to see the ongoing battle. "Why are they fighting each other?"
"They appear to be fighting over a rare treasure." Quan Zhenkang said.
"What kind of treasure to make them fight so hard like this?" Bai Xue asked curiously.
"It's Stargazing Flower." An old man standing beside Quan Zhenkang replied. "The Stargazing Flower has the ability to conceal aura even when you're using divine energy."
He looked at Yun Lintian and said. "We have seen it from this little brother's experiment earlier that the traps here are attracted to our divine energy. With this flower, anyone could travel around the islands with no problem."
"There is such a thing?" Bai Xue was surprised. "No wonder they are fighting so hard."
Although Yun Lintian's method was useful, it wasn't foolproof enough. There was a small risk in it. Meanwhile, the Stargazing Flower was almost a hundred percent guaranteed.
Yun Lintian stopped paying attention to the battle and carefully observed the surroundings. He looked at the other islands within his Divine Sense's range, and still couldn't find anyone who came here before everyone here… Where did they go?
Thinking of this, Yun Lintian raised his head to look at the starlight firmament far above his head. Perhaps they were up there?
"Are you looking for the people who came before us?" The old man looked at Yun Lintian and asked. "Right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chen He. A wandering practitioner."
His question immediately made everyone realize this point.
Yun Lintian turned to the old man and said. "I'm Ye Xiaolong… Indeed. I am looking for them."
The old man, Chen He, stroke his long beard and said thoughtfully. "It's really strange that we haven't seen anyone or any trace here. It's like they have gone to somewhere. Maybe we have to go to the staircase over there first to find out."
He then looked at the island ahead where the battle was still going on. "Unfortunately, we have been delayed by this."
The island ahead was the nearest one and the other ones were at least fifty or sixty kilometers away from here. It was too risky to go there.
"Look like we can only wait." Quan Zhenkang sighed and found a place to sit down, meditating.
Yun Lintian looked around briefly and calculated a route to bypass the island ahead. He didn't want to waste time here any longer.
A moment later, he turned to Bai Xue and said. "I'm leaving now."
Bai Xue was taken aback and hurriedly asked. "Are you going over there?"
Yun Lintian shook his head. "I will go around it."
"Ah?" Bai Xue was stunned. "Isn't it too dangerous, Brother Ye?"
"You can try contacting your senior brother." Yun Lintian said, and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Bai Xue hurriedly stopped him. "Can you bring me along, Brother Ye? The transmission jade is useless here. I can't contact my senior brother. I'll leave when I found him."
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and nodded. "Come with me."
Bai Xue was delighted and quickly came to Yun Lintian's side.
"Be careful, Little Brother Ye." Chen He said with a serious expression.
Yun Lintian nodded slightly and grabbed Bai Xue's waist before leaping off and soaring into the star field. At the same time, he casually threw a few Divine Stones to attract clusters of star energy.
Everyone stared attentively at Yun Lintian, eager to see how far he could go. Even the people on the nearest island subconsciously paid attention to him.
Yun Lintian speedily flew along the star field while throwing the Divine Stones from time to time. His movement was so fluid, as if he knew every location of the traps.
Soon, Yun Lintian flew past the nearest island and rushed toward the next island, which was thirty kilometers away.
However, just as he was about to increase his speed, someone from the island behind him suddenly hurled a barrage of Divine Stones at him, filled with deadly intent.
"Ah! Be careful!" Bai Xue cried out in alarm upon seeing this.
A cold glint flashed through Yun Lintian's eyes as he perceived the danger coming from behind. He flicked his wrist slightly, sending another Divine Stones toward the incoming stones, precisely clashing onto them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Divine Stones collided midair and immediately triggered a powerful meteor storm.
Yun Lintian used this chance to accelerate. But instead of moving forward, he made a U-turn and headed toward the island behind him.
Seeing Yun Lintian coming, a middle-aged man who secretly threw the Divine Stones to Yun Lintian earlier started panicking. He hurriedly retreated while hurling more Divine Stones toward Yun Lintian.
Immediately, Yun Lintian's killing intent firmly locked on the man as he approached the island. Three silver needles appeared in between Yun Lintian fingers and with a flick of his hand, the needles immediately broke through space and pierced into the man's eyes and forehead mercilessly.
"Argh!" The man screamed and rolled on the ground in agony.
Yun Lintian swiftly avoided the incoming Divine Stones and uttered in a low voice that only Bai Xue could hear it. "Explode."
Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!
As Yun Lintian's voice fell, the needles on the man abruptly burst out, shattering the man's head into pieces.
This scene immediately sent a chill running down everyone's spine. Even the battle on the island was involuntarily stopped.
Bai Xue covered her mouth and looked at Yun Lintian's handsome face in horror. Yun Lintian was obviously at the first level of the Divine Tribulation Realm, but he could actually kill the man who was at the third level of the Divine Tribulation Realm in one strike!
Yun Lintian swept his gaze across everyone on the island. Even Divine Kings felt a powerful suppression from it. A moment later, he turned around and flew to the next island.
"Y-You are very strong." Bai Xue stammered.
Yun Lintian didn't say anything and quickly landed on the relatively spacious island ahead.
He let go of Bai Xue and glanced at a group of people on the island. Seeing that everyone avoid his gaze. Yun Lintian began to observe the vicinity.
"Junior sister?" Suddenly, a male voice resounded from the crowd and a handsome young man stepped out.
Bai Xue was surprised and responded with a delight smile. "Senior Brother Gu."
