Chapter 450: 【Triggering the Main Quest: Rather Die Than Submit!】

Shi Jiu didn't actually know much either. All he knew was that a group of experts had landed on Fire Flood Dragon Island and were frantically slaughtering the disciples of the Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect.

"Supervisor Yang, I don't know where they came from either."

Shi Jiu gritted his teeth, glaring at that group of martial artists:

"You dare come to Fire Flood Dragon Island and run wild? You really must have a death wish!"

The group of martial artists exchanged glances, then suddenly burst out laughing.

One of them, a Sixth-Rank, stepped out from the crowd and said with a smile toward Yang Ling and Shi Jiu:

"Your Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect is going to be struck from the Martial Alliance today.

You're on the verge of death and still don't realize it. How laughable."

Shi Jiu was terrified out of his wits. Struck from the Martial Alliance? How could that be!

Yang Ling also found it absurd. A first-rate sect, struck from the Martial Alliance just like that? On what grounds?

Even if White Bone Cavern was causing trouble, didn't Fire Flood Dragon Island still have a First-Rank Land Deity holding the fort?

Yang Ling opened the other party's Status Panel and took a look. When he saw that the man belonged to the Divine Guard Bureau, he couldn't help but feel something was off.

"Your Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect's Fourth-Rank Grandmaster has long since switched allegiances. I'll give you a chance. Kneel and beg for mercy, and I'll spare your lives."

The other party spoke again, a cold glint flickering in his eyes.

At the same time, a "Divine Realm" notification suddenly appeared before Yang Ling:

【The Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect faces utter annihilation. The First-Rank Land Deity has passed away, and the news leaking out has drawn enemies encircling from all sides.】

【Only those above Fifth-Rank may surrender and be spared. Those below Fifth-Rank have been placed on the must-kill list.】

【As the Crimson Fire Iron Mine Supervisor of the Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect, you are also on the must-kill list.】

【Triggering Main Quest: Rather Die Than Submit!】

【For each enemy slain, earn a certain amount of evaluation. Rewards will be settled after the dungeon ends.】

Yang Ling looked at the other party without betraying any emotion, then said in a measured tone:

"The orders you received should be to kill all martial artists below Fifth-Rank."

"Even if we kneel and beg for mercy, you won't spare us."

As he spoke, the temperature here continued to rise.

Yang Ling suddenly felt a wave of relief in his heart.

The rising temperature here meant the radiation was growing more severe.

The other side's Fifth-Rank Lesser Masters and Fourth-Rank Grandmasters certainly wouldn't easily set foot in this place!

"This place is safe, as long as I don't go out."

Thinking this, Yang Ling glanced again at the dungeon timer on his Status Panel.

There were still about ten days left. Once the dungeon ended, he could leave this terrible place.

"I never expected it. The Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect would be wiped out like this. Just what kind of force is behind the Divine Guard Bureau, that they can orchestrate a war like this?"

"White Bone Cavern also seems to have connections with the Divine Guard Bureau..."

Seeing that Yang Ling had spoken aloud exactly what was on his mind, the other party didn't waste words. He exchanged a glance with the other few Sixth-Ranks, then suddenly struck!

Yang Ling simultaneously circulated the Vajra Bright King Technique, the Great-Grade Azure Dragon Force, and the Heavenly Will Hundred Battles Diagram. His base attributes instantly surged.

With one kick, he burst the skull of the Sixth-Rank charging at the very front.

Then he followed up with a few more kicks, bursting the skulls of the other few Sixth-Ranks.

Like a ravenous wolf, he charged at that group of Seventh-Ranks.

In less than ten seconds, he had finished the slaughter.

During all of this, he hadn't even used his equipment.

An ordinary Sixth-Rank was no different from a Ninth-Rank martial artist in his eyes.

Shi Jiu stared blankly at the scene. For the first time, he realized that this Supervisor Yang's strength seemed far greater than he had imagined!

Waves of faint Experience Points flowed into Yang Ling's body.

These experience gains were pitifully small.

"Shi Jiu, the Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect is facing utter annihilation."

Yang Ling said with a grave expression:

"You'd best rush to the seaside right now and find a boat to escape."

Shi Jiu drew in a sharp breath of cold air and instinctively said:

"Supervisor Yang, what about you?"

"Me? I'll just stay here and guard this place. I want to see just how capable they really are."

Yang Ling said blandly.

Shi Jiu looked at Yang Ling in disbelief. The man actually intended to fight to the bloody end?

"Supervisor Yang, please take care of yourself!"

Shi Jiu turned and fled. He feared that if he said a few more words, he too would be kept behind to fight to the death.

"Ten days. I just need to wait here until the dungeon ends and I'll be safe."

Yang Ling called Little White over and had it drag the corpses of these fellows into the mine shaft.

Afterward, he cleaned up the traces of battle in this area, then headed toward the nearby mountain of Crimson Fire Iron stacked up.

"The Divine Armament I took from Jiu Xingkong before was thrown into the Green Dragon Ring, and I couldn't bring it out of the dungeon."

"This time, I wonder if this Crimson Fire Iron can be brought out."

"No matter. Even just trying won't hurt."

Without another word, Yang Ling immediately tossed the Crimson Fire Iron before him into the Green Dragon Ring.

He deliberately avoided the direction of the mine shaft, because quite a few Sixth-Ranks were hiding inside, watching this place.

Even when he had just struck down those uninvited guests, these Sixth-Ranks had endured in silence and not shown themselves. Clearly, Shi Jiu's words had already alarmed them.

Before long, the Green Dragon Ring was packed full of Crimson Fire Iron.

"If this batch of Crimson Fire Iron can be brought out, my net worth will see a massive surge!"

"If it can't be brought out..."

Yang Ling suddenly looked up at the sky.

He saw a flock of giant birds soaring into the air, each carrying martial artists on their backs.

These martial artists were also experts of the Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect, all possessing flying spirit pets.

Just when they thought they could escape Fire Flood Dragon Island, one longsword after another tore through the air toward them.

They and their spirit pets perished in the sky, one after another.

Blood-stained feathers drifted down like heavy snow.

Yang Ling's pupils constricted slightly. Flying Sword technique!

This was an expert from White Bone Cavern making a move.

"Thankfully I never considered leaving from the sky, otherwise I'd have become a target the very first moment."

Yang Ling felt fortunate about his choice.

From the very beginning, he had never thought of fleeing Fire Flood Dragon Island.

He believed that since a first-rate power intended to annihilate the Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect, they wouldn't leave such an obvious escape loophole.

"To leave Fire Flood Dragon Island, the only ways are the sea and sky. Right now, White Bone Cavern clearly controls the air."

"And the sea route will inevitably be sealed up tight."

"The disciples of the Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect will become turtles in a jar, doomed without question..."

"The other side said they only kill those below Fifth-Rank, which means those above Fifth-Rank are given the chance to surrender."

Yang Ling was somewhat silent.

He hadn't expected that the collapse of a first-rate sect would come in this manner.

At present, there wasn't much commotion anywhere else on Fire Flood Dragon Island.

Which meant the experts of the Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect had already chosen to surrender.

"With no First-Rank Land Deity holding the fort, and the Crimson Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect in possession of top-tier internal techniques and first-class martial arts techniques, it immediately became a hot commodity in everyone's eyes..."

"The top-tier internal technique on me absolutely cannot be leaked easily, otherwise I'll be ten times more tempting than that hot commodity..."

Thinking this, Yang Ling quietly retreated into the mine shaft and waited silently with Little White for time to pass.

Before long, another group of uninvited guests arrived at the Crimson Fire Iron Mine.

Leading the way was Elder Wang, his face full of embarrassment.

But the moment he arrived, his face revealed a look of discomfort.

Hiding in the mine shaft, Yang Ling clearly saw that the skin on Elder Wang's body was rapidly rotting away.
