Chapter 610: The North Sea Abyss and the Quota
"A drop of essence blood from a Reincarnation Realm powerhouse of our Kun Peng Clan?"
Hearing Lin Langtian's request, Kun Qiong and the other Kun Peng Clan powerhouses were momentarily stunned. They then looked at Lin Langtian with some surprise.
As one of the four dominant clans in the Demon Domain, the Kun Peng Clan's bloodline was inherently noble, no less than that of the Dragon or Phoenix Clans. Moreover, essence blood from a Reincarnation Realm powerhouse held immeasurable value—calling it priceless would not be an overstatement.
However, why would a human youth like Lin Langtian need essence blood from their Kun Peng Clan powerhouses?
Regarding their puzzlement, Lin Langtian did not explain.
Originally, he had only wanted essence blood from a direct-line royal member of the Kun Peng Clan. But since he had just helped the Kun Peng Clan with such a major issue, requesting a drop of essence blood from a Reincarnation Realm powerhouse of the Kun Peng Clan wouldn't be excessive.
On the other side, after exchanging glances, Kun Qiong and the others looked at Lin Langtian and nodded. "Young Friend Langtian has helped our Kun Peng Clan with such a great favor. Refusing this request would make our Kun Peng Clan seem too ungrateful."
At this point, Kun Qiong paused slightly and said, "However, the essence blood of our clan's Reincarnation Realm powerhouses is extremely precious. Generally, when the older generation of powerhouses are about to pass away, they enter our clan's forbidden ground, the North Sea Abyss, to dissipate their lifelong power and turn it into essence blood."
"The North Sea Abyss, huh..."
Hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded. It seemed that the essence blood of the Kun Peng Clan's Reincarnation Realm powerhouses was indeed somewhat extraordinary.
"Is there any difficulty for Clan Leader Kun?" Lin Langtian pursed his lips slightly, noticing the somewhat conflicted expression on Kun Qiong's face, and asked.
Kun Qiong looked at Lin Langtian, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's nothing. Although according to Kun Peng Clan rules, only members of the Kun Peng Clan can enter the North Sea Abyss, the crisis our clan faced this time was indeed resolved by you. If we refuse, it wouldn't sound good for our Kun Peng Clan's reputation."
"How about this: you rest for a night first, and I'll give you a reply tomorrow. How does that sound?"
"Then I'll trouble Clan Leader Kun Qiong." Lin Langtian nodded and said.
"Mm, Elder Kun Jian, take Young Friend Langtian to rest first." Kun Qiong said to Kun Jian. The latter nodded as well, then led Lin Langtian away from the underground.
"Clan Leader, the three quotas for entering the North Sea Abyss already have their candidates. This..." One of the Kun Peng Clan elders watched Lin Langtian's departing figure and hesitated before saying.
Kun Qiong nodded slightly. Then, his gaze turned to the silver-haired girl beside him. Seeing this, her big eyes immediately widened. "Dad, you're not thinking of making me give up my quota, are you? I fought and defeated so many opponents to win it!"
"Ahem, Clan Leader, perhaps it's better not to make Ling'er give up her quota. If necessary, this old man can go talk to those other two brats and see if they can yield. After all, Lin Langtian has helped us so much." Great Elder Kun Yuan coughed lightly and smiled.
"Those two boys..."
Kun Qiong smiled bitterly and said, "They're not that easy to talk to either. Let's try discussing with them first, then draw lots with Ling'er to decide who gives up the quota. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to forcefully exercise the clan leader's authority."
Hearing this, the others all smiled bitterly. Remembering the arrogant temperaments of those other two, they couldn't help but feel that this matter wouldn't proceed smoothly.
...
"Young Friend Langtian." The next morning, Kun Jian had already arrived at Lin Langtian's resting place, his laughter entering the closed room.
Creak.
The door opened accordingly. Lin Langtian walked out and cupped his hands toward Kun Jian with a smile. After a night's rest, his condition had fully recovered.
"Young Friend Langtian, let's go. We'll have a reply today."
Hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded, then asked doubtfully, "Elder Kun Jian, is it very difficult for the Kun Peng Clan for me to enter the North Sea Abyss..."
Kun Jian pondered for a moment before saying, "Young Friend, you don't know this, but in our Kun Peng Clan, the North Sea Abyss opens once every five years, and each time there are only three quotas. This time's three quotas already have their owners."
"I see..." Lin Langtian nodded.
"Young Friend, don't worry about it. If not for your help this time, our Kun Peng Clan would have fallen into peril. That quota is precious, but compared to this, it's not worth mentioning." Kun Jian smiled.
Hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded.
The two flew one after the other through the sky. After more than ten minutes, an ancient plaza appeared below in Lin Langtian's vision.
Around the plaza stood towering giant trees thousands of zhang tall, their lush branches and leaves stretching out in all directions.
At this time, on this plaza, there were many figures. On those thick tree trunks, there were also numerous figures.
These people were mostly young, with lazy expressions and a trace of arrogance seeping from their bones in their brows. At this moment, they gathered in twos and threes, occasionally whispering among themselves.
Clearly, these were the younger generation of the Kun Peng Clan. As one of the four dominant clans in the beast realm, although they couldn't be said to be overbearing, that innate arrogance was unavoidable.
At this time, in the central position of the plaza, Kun Qiong stood with his hands behind his back.
In front of him were two tall and slender, handsome men. The two had lazy demeanors and faces full of indifference, but the slight upturn of their mouth corners revealed a hint of rebelliousness.
"Kun Su, Kun Ji, the clan leader is speaking—behave yourselves, you two brats!" Beside them, the Great Elder couldn't stand their nonchalant attitudes and scolded.
"Hey, Great Elder, we know. Isn't it just about giving up a quota for the North Sea Abyss?"
The handsome man named Kun Ji stared at the silver-haired girl named Kun Ling behind Kun Qiong, smiling at her. The latter rolled her eyes at him and turned her head away. Feeling somewhat bored, he stretched lazily and said languidly.
"I know that Lin Langtian solved a big problem for our Kun Peng Clan. I'm not unreasonable. Since he's interested in the North Sea Abyss, I can give him my quota."
Hearing Kun Ji's words, the expressions of the several Kun Peng Clan elders improved slightly.
"However, it shouldn't be too much to ask to meet this friend first, right?" At this moment, Kun Su also smiled slightly and said.
Kun Qiong glanced at Kun Ji and Kun Su, then looked up and said, "He's here."
Whoosh!
As soon as Kun Qiong's voice fell, all those gazes in the field instantly turned to the sky. There, light shadows moved, and then two figures appeared on the plaza.
Those numerous gazes also instantly fixed on the young figure beside Kun Jian, their eyes holding some curiosity.
"He's the one who solved the trouble for our Kun Peng Clan? So young?" This was a male voice.
"So handsome. I didn't expect this Lin Langtian to be such a beautiful man." This was a female voice.
"Is it real? Do we really have to give a North Sea Abyss quota to an outsider?"
"..."
Numerous whispers spread through the field. Clearly, many people were skeptical of Lin Langtian's youth and the strength he possessed.
"Young Friend Langtian greets Clan Leader Kun Qiong." Lin Langtian ignored this and simply turned his gaze to Kun Qiong, cupping his hands.
"You're here."
Kun Qiong smiled and then said, "The matter of you entering the North Sea Abyss has been resolved. In a few more days, I'll gather the various elders to open the North Sea Abyss."
"Wait."
Kun Ji and Kun Su interrupted. Some Kun Peng Clan elders saw this and their expressions darkened as they were about to scold, but Kun Qiong waved his hand to stop them.
He knew that Kun Ji and the other would inevitably feel some dissatisfaction. It was only natural for young people to have fiery tempers.
Kun Ji and Kun Su moved and appeared in front of Lin Langtian. Then, he smiled at the latter and said, "Friend, the quota you got was taken from us two."
Lin Langtian stared at Kun Ji and the other, knowing they probably wanted to say more than that.
"You helped our clan with a great favor. We're not people who disregard the bigger picture. A North Sea Abyss quota is precious, but it's not like it's cutting our hearts out.
However, the Kun Peng Clan has its rules. For this quota, we two defeated all other competitors in the clan. You can take it.
How about this: choose one of us two, and fight. Regardless of win or loss, our quotas will be yours!"
Kun Ji looked at Lin Langtian, the nonchalance on his face slowly receding, replaced by a solemn battle intent.
Although Kun Su beside him didn't speak, his expression said it all. He also wanted to fight Lin Langtian.
The entire plaza became much quieter. Those Kun Peng Clan elders watched this scene with furrowed brows but ultimately said nothing more.
No matter where, strength was the hard truth. Lin Langtian had helped their Kun Peng Clan greatly and deserved the quota, but to earn the respect of these young Kun Peng Clan members, he still had to rely on himself.
Only Great Elder Kun Yuan and Kun Jian exchanged a glance and shook their heads with bitter smiles.
Others might not have seen Lin Langtian's strength, but the two of them knew it clearly. Although Kun Ji and Kun Su had reached the Reincarnation Realm at a young age, which was already outstanding, Lin Langtian could already contend with true Reincarnation Realm experts even at the half-step Reincarnation Realm.
And now that Lin Langtian had broken through to the Reincarnation Realm in the Demon Suppression Prison, his strength was probably far beyond what Kun Ji and the other could compare to.
If they really fought, Kun Ji and the other would just be asking for trouble.
In that quiet field, Lin Langtian stared at the sharp-momentum Kun Ji and Kun Su before him. Then, a smile appeared on his handsome face. He said indifferently.
"No need to choose. You two come at me together."
Boom!
On the plaza, silence gradually fell because of that handsome youth's words.
Those young men and women of the Kun Peng Clan all shifted their gazes, finally stopping on that youth, shock flashing in their eyes.
It must be known that although Kun Su and Kun Ji were still of the younger generation, in terms of strength, they were not weaker than some veteran powerhouses. Otherwise, they couldn't stand on equal footing with Kun Ling, the little talisman sect.
And now, Lin Langtian actually wanted to take on two at once, challenging both Kun Ji and Kun Su simultaneously. Was it blind arrogance, or did he truly have the ability?
"Damn, he dares to look down on Big Brother Kun Ji and Big Brother Kun Su. This Lin Langtian is truly foolish."
"Yeah, Big Brother Kun Ji and the others are Reincarnation Realm powerhouses. Where does this Lin Langtian get his confidence from?"
"I don't think so. This Lin Langtian solved our Kun Peng Clan's trouble; maybe he really has the strength."
"..."
As Lin Langtian's words fell, the field immediately erupted in an uproar. Countless Kun Peng Clan powerhouses looked at Lin Langtian, their eyes flashing with mockery, doubt, admiration, and various other emotions.
No matter what, daring to challenge both Kun Ji and Kun Su at the same time, Lin Langtian's courage was still admirable.
In the field, Kun Ji and Kun Su's expressions also paused slightly because of Lin Langtian's response. Then, the two exchanged a glance and turned to stare at Lin Langtian. "Good courage."
Although it was praise, the expressions on Kun Ji and Kun Su's faces weren't pleasant at this moment. After all, anyone belittled like this wouldn't feel great.
"I'm sorry for taking your quotas, but instead of talking about that now, perhaps it's better to have a good, satisfying fight."
Lin Langtian smiled. He understood the arrogance of these young Kun Peng Clan men and women. He didn't dislike it because these people indeed had the capital to be arrogant.
What he needed to do now was to beat them into submission.
"Since that's the case, we won't hold back." Kun Ji and Kun Su nodded in unison, but battle intent burned hotly in their eyes.
"That would be best." Lin Langtian smiled faintly.
"Attack!"
Vast yuan power swept out from Kun Ji and Kun Su's bodies almost simultaneously. Both possessed Reincarnation Realm strength and were the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation in the Kun Peng Clan.
Although Lin Langtian's displayed composure surprised them somewhat, that was all. They were confident that joining hands would defeat the latter here.
Vast yuan power enveloped the two, and their figures turned ghostly, crisscrossing as they charged violently toward Lin Langtian. Their bodies expanded slightly at this moment, with peng feathers like steel thorns piercing out from under their skin.
At the same time, leveraging the Kun Peng Clan's advantage, their speed was traceless and formless. Even Reincarnation Realm powerhouses would find it headache-inducing.
While everyone was pondering how Lin Langtian would respond, the latter watched the charging two with an unchanging expression. In the next instant, he lightly raised his palm, silver light flashing at his fingertips.
Sizzle!
In the next moment, Lin Langtian slowly clenched his palm. In an instant, Kun Qiong and the others saw that the space in front of Kun Ji and Kun Su suddenly twisted.
Two massive spatial vortexes appeared out of thin air. As spatial power erupted, before Kun Ji and Kun Su could react, they were swallowed up.
Bang bang bang!
Intense low rumbles came from the spatial vortexes. Kun Ji and Kun Su seemed to be struggling madly, but this struggle didn't last long. It weakened as the spatial vortexes rotated rapidly.
The spatial vortexes spun for a while. Lin Langtian gently waved his sleeve, and the spatial vortexes dissipated. Immediately after, Kun Ji and Kun Su's figures emerged.
However, at this moment, the two had extremely pale faces. The way they looked at Lin Langtian now carried a trace of fear.
Seeing this scene, the field immediately erupted in a commotion...
