What happened would all be the result of the actions this hidden cultivator had taken. She hadn't done or initiated anything, so she shouldn't worry about it.
Others weren't even concerned about it. They were just thinking about the rewards they could get. They all were looking toward the six caves, trying to find some hint about which one might contain the best treasure.
As for asking Lin Feng to take an oath, no one cared. He wasn't even required to give any kind of effort, so they didn't need him to take the oath, they doubted he would survive anyway.
As for Lin Feng, he started walking towards the bridge without any care. Looking at that, others began walking too.
Slowly, Lin Feng stepped onto the wooden bridge. It was not narrow, but he walked on the edge so he could see the bottomless abyss beneath it.
He couldn't see the bottom due to the darkness, so guessing how deep it was would be impossible. Nonetheless, no one would like to fall into this horrifying pit. They might prefer to die from the beast directly instead of falling down the stone slab.
Since he was in front of everyone, he reached the arena first. The stone slab seemed quite strong, but for high-intensity battles like the one they were going to have here, it might be weak.
No doubt the array would fortify it, so it wasn't a problem he should be worried about. The more intriguing part was that it was flying and was very stable.
Definitely, it wasn't flying all this time. It must have come from the bottom of this abyss when they opened this ruin.
But still, the stability to handle the battle at the Soul Sea Realm meant the array used to fly it was exceptional... or maybe he was thinking wrong and they would have to battle on an unstable slab which could topple them into the pit. That would be more interesting.
He moved to one corner of the stone slab and stood there, waiting for the fight to begin. He wasn't afraid of revealing his strength before a few cultivators.
He could always force them to take a heavenly oath to never speak of it—or they could simply die and bury the secret with them. The choice was theirs.
Well, for the time being, he would just watch. Given how that fool wanted to set him up, it wouldn't be long before he would have to move.
Others came to the arena, and when the last person stepped onto the arena, the wooden bridge that brought them here broke off...
CRACKKK!!
The six other wooden bridges on the other side were still intact but they got blocked by a protective shield which was visible to the naked eye.
The whole slab lit up for a single breath before going back to normal, the only change that happened was that there was another entity present on the arena after that.
Everyone looked at the beast, which looked like a leopard with mist surrounding it. It was a Cloud Leopard, and they are known for their excellent pace.
"Dammit, why does it have to be a pace type beast?" Luo Ming cursed immediately.
The stone slab wasn't small, so it could easily dodge their attacks and strike them if they made any mistake.
Others shared his thoughts. This was the worst opponent they could have.
Bai Lian sighed. It was going to be very dangerous, not to mention they couldn't even use talismans inside the battle. Suddenly, she turned around and saw the masked cultivator standing at the edge of the slab.
"You shouldn't have come here in the first place. Now that you have come, at least don't stand on the edge of the arena, because it can easily make you fall." She didn't even know why she was bothering to tell him. The way he had acted till now, she doubted he would listen.
As for being able to survive the onslaught of the beast, if he really dodged Zhao Lei through luck previously, then he would die. If not, then he might pull this off if they were able to kill the beast in a short period of time.
Lin Feng didn't have any kind of aversion to this woman. Listening to their earlier conversation, he had figured out that she was related to the Skycloud Auction Pavilion.
He hadn't gone back to collect his spirit stones for the pills he had given them to auction. Well, he still had the parchment, and they said he could come anytime, so he wasn't worried about not getting anything.
He looked at her and reminded her kindly, "You don't have to worry about me, worry for yourself."
He was being genuine. The main issue wasn't about being able to dodge the direct attack from the leopard—it was the slab they were standing on.
A beast could balance itself far better than what humans could achieve. So, if this platform really tilted, then it would be a nasty surprise for everyone.
Bai Lian raised her eyebrows while nodding. The hidden cultivator didn't sound like the clueless guy he was pretending to be before. She was a little surprised, but that was it. She wanted to warn him, and she did—although she still believed he wouldn't be able to survive.
When Zhao Lei heard this exchange of words, he didn't like it. "Sister Bai, why are you talking to a bastard like him?"
Bai Lian frowned upon hearing that. Zhao Lei was getting on her nerves now. She decided not to respond and looked towards the leopard.
Its eyes were still closed, and it looked calm. "Should we attack?"
Zhao Lei's face turned red as he knew that Bai Lian had ignored him on purpose.
When Zeng Rong saw the expression of Zhao Lei, he decided to interfere immediately,"It looks like we have to attack first to initiate this test " He wasn't in the mood to tease Zhao Lei for it, as this leopard was too dangerous. If Zhao Lei's temper affected their battle, it would be a problem.
