Chapter 894: Chapter 571: Apprentice to the Seven Great Elders, Soul Devouring Fog, Thousand-Layer Mountain Protection Array

"Dong Bihe, you dog, come out."

"Dong Bihe, if you’re a man, come out of your hole."

"Dong Bihe, I know where your Dong clan is located. If you don’t come out, I’ll..."

A group of people responsible for collecting debts from various forces were shouting loudly in front of Dong Bihe’s Cave Mansion.

This time, various Spinach Forces suffered heavy losses due to Lu Lin winning the championship.

They naturally couldn’t trouble the Heavenly Talent War champion at this time, so Dong Bihe became the only target.

Punching bag.

Back then, before the Heavenly Talent War, Dong Bihe was jumping around, begging everyone from the Spinach Forces to help get Lu Lin to the first-place position.

This time, because of Dong Bihe’s reason, various forces suffered immeasurable losses.

After an initial investigation, they didn’t pay much attention to the name Lu Lin.

Even if Lu Lin truly became the champion later, their losses would still be minimal, and they might even gain a large sum of Star Stones.

A dark horse won the Heavenly Talent War championship when no one was optimistic about it.

In that case, various Spinach Forces would certainly reap profits.

However, because of Dong Bihe, all forces only conducted a preliminary investigation and gave Lu Lin a top spot.

Those who knew the means of Spinach Forces wouldn’t be easily fooled, of course. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Except for these top figures, most ordinary cultivators were unaware.

Seeing Lu Lin ranked first with impressive achievements, not to mention being a powerful Star Guide associated with the Elder of Heng Mountain and mingling with people of at least the Star King and Star Emperor level from the High-Level of General Mountain.

Such reasons convinced countless soldiers, disciples, sect strength, and dynasty forces that Lu Lin was a true genius figure.

Moreover, all Spinach Forces believed Lu Lin’s abilities were insufficient and offered enticing odds, prompting many to invest in him.

Even more people thought they had found a loophole and cashed in everything to bet on Lu Lin’s placement.

At least the Top 32.

Potentially advancing to the Top 16.

Hoping to participate in the Top 8 knockout competition.

Some even tried betting on Lu Lin entering the finals and winning the championship.

General Mountain’s influence is enormous; even if some casually invested, they couldn’t resist the numbers or the high odds.

As a result.

When Lu Lin entered the Top 32, several major forces sensed something was wrong.

Thereafter, with Lu Lin winning successive battles, various Spinach Forces went mad.

It was all about Star Stones.

Star Stones.

In Longyuan World, strength is the only standard.

However, the importance of money is equally immense.

Only with enough ability can you gain wealth.

This time, just on Lu Lin alone, the Spinach Forces lost their pants.

Many couples even changed identities overnight, planning to hide away for thousands of years in extraterritorial regions.

This strategy only suited smaller forces because if their leaders or main figures fled, they simply fled, and numerous cultivators wouldn’t pursue, let alone chase them to the Extraterritorial Battlefield.

But those leading figures from large forces, at least, are of Star Lodging War General level, and many are Golden Divine Generals, with some forces involving dozens of Golden Divine Generals.

Others might escape, but these backbone figures from General Mountain couldn’t run away.

This time, everyone despises Dong Bihe wholeheartedly.

But Dong Bihe wasn’t foolish.

When Lu Lin emerged from the Preliminary Selection Illusionary Realm after two battles and received more than four hundred affiliated treasures from those Heavenly Talents, Dong Bihe foresaw trouble.

Escape.

He had to escape.

Initially, he didn’t flee far, just hid in one kingdom under General Mountain.

When he learned Lu Lin’s unstoppable advance into the Top 16 and imminent participation in the Top 8 Reincarnation Points War, Dong Bihe realized he was doomed.

This Lu Lin truly brings calamity.

Dong Bihe wasted no time; he took a Flying Boat overnight to General Mountain’s most remote edge.

By then, Dong Bihe had received news that many were seeking him out.

Those must be people from various forces.

Lu Lin breached the Top 8, alerting everyone to trouble, so how could they let Dong Bihe, this bastard, escape?

Unexpectedly, Dong Bihe fled early.

Seven days later, in the final battle of the Heavenly Talent War, Lu Lin easily secured a winning spot.

Then, in the ensuing battle, he effortlessly defeated another Heavenly Talent, hundreds of them.

Bear in mind, Yue Dao was the first in countless forces’ minds, with the lowest odds of winning among all contestants.

Yet, Yue Dao unexpectedly took second place.

The championship was taken by Lu Lin with ease.

This time, Dong Bihe was utterly panicked.

During such times, he only managed to send a message to his sons: "Fend for yourselves; Dad is leaving" before disappearing completely.

Whether it was senior and junior brothers from General Mountain, former cultivating Master friends, or blood relatives within the clan, Dong Bihe couldn’t care less.
