Chapter 1187: Snatch! 

　　The waterfall below gradually stopped flowing, and a vortex appeared in the center of the blue waters. 

　　The vortex gradually expanded as time passed, slowly and silently absorbing all the lush trees in the surroundings. At the same time, dark clouds appeared in the sky as if they were also attracted by some sort of strength, slowly turning and forming a gigantic windstorm. 

　　The world was completely dark. 

　　The winds howled, and the suppression was heavy! 

　　The crowd waiting at the respective peaks of Ancient Feather Abyss were all energized! Given this phenomenon, the royal Yuan instrument really is about to descend! 

　　“When all the water below has dried up, it’ll definitely be the time when the royal Yuan instrument descends! At that time, we must act quickly and snatch it before the rest!” Elder Shu Feng instructed seriously. 

　　The crowd gradually nodded and waited alertly. 

　　Time slowly trickled past. 

　　Below the water vortex seemed to be a black hole that kept swallowing everything in the surroundings. 

　　The windstorm in the skies gradually went down. 

　　Countless pairs of eyes stared at this scene closely. 

　　At some moment before the water vortex was about to disappear, the windstorm attacked! 

　　The two parties touched each other! 

　　Rumble! 

　　A loud sound was heard from within! The next moment, a ball of sparkling light exploded from within! 

　　“Now!” Elder Shu Feng commanded and rushed out first! 

　　The crowd behind him took action in unison! At the same time, the other people waiting at Ancient Feather Abyss also rushed over to that side! 

　　Ling Xiao Academy was actually the fastest. Seeing that they were about to take the lead, the others secretly panicked. 

　　The tanned, muscular man that spoke earlier boomed suddenly, “Everyone! Why don’t we make an alliance?” 

　　Upon hearing this, Elder Shu Feng and the others’ hearts sank! 

　　As expected, that man raised his voice and yelled, “The treasure that’s about to descend is left behind by someone from Ling Xiao Academy. If they want to snatch it, it’ll be much easier for them! Why don’t we make an alliance first before we discuss who the treasure belongs to!?” 

　　His voice was low and vigorous, with much strength. Once he spoke, his voice reverberated loudly! 

　　Quite a few people hesitated in their actions for a moment as they exchanged glances and had complicated gazes. 

　　Elder Shu Feng angrily yelled, “Golden Wings Sect, how dare you?!” 

　　That man laughed out loud. “I even dare to snatch the item in front of you. What else do I not dare to do?” 

　　Their Golden Wings Sect was also an aristocratic family within the God Residence Realm. They had a rich family heritage and were very powerful. 

　　Ling Xiao Academy had a distinguished status, but they were an academy in the end. It was true that the strong were like clouds, but they were still different from actual traditional aristocratic families. After all, Ling Xiao Academy couldn’t let all their elders and students risk their lives for the academy. 

　　Besides, although the treasure descending today was a rare royal Yuan instrument, it wasn’t enough to make Ling Xiao Academy fall out with the rest. 

　　Thus, the others dared to snatch it so openly! Besides, there were other people present, so they were even more fearless. 

　　“Everyone, why are you still hesitating?! Since we’re already here, do you really plan to see the treasure land in someone else’s hands?” 

　　This sentence finally caused the other present families to make up their minds. 

　　Shua! 

　　The sound of things piercing through the air could be heard. 

　　The people who originally planned on rushing for the center all changed their direction and went for Ling Xiao Academy’s team. 

　　Apart from Ling Xiao Academy, there were many people in the surroundings. Adding up the pockets of people, there were about 180 people, which was many times more than that of Ling Xiao Academy’s team! 

　　Even if the people from Ling Xiao Academy were all quite capable, they couldn’t withstand the attacks from so many people! After all, those who could openly go against them wouldn’t be weak. 

　　Once they met, they were bound to lose today’s battle! 

　　The people gathered around and trapped Ling Xiao Academy’s team within. 

　　An idea popped up in Elder Shu Feng’s head as he looked at Rong Xiu. “Rong Xiu, we’ll stop them! When you find the chance, go and retrieve the item!” 

　　Rong Xiu nodded lightly. 

　　“Hah! How would it be so easy for you to avoid us?” That man coldly snorted and went straight for Rong Xiu. “I’ll meet you first!” 

　　Rong Xiu looked up slightly, and his expression was cold. There were no ripples in the depths of his eyes. 

　　The next moment, his body immediately disappeared from the spot. 

　　“What?!” Including the man about to attack Rong Xiu, the other spectators were also taken aback when they saw this scene. 

　　What they were shocked about wasn’t that Rong Xiu knew how to teleport instantly but that he could do it so easily and freely under such a stressful situation! 

　　There were quite a few true gods present, but even true gods might not be able to break through the situation so quickly! 

　　The next moment, Rong Xiu appeared behind the crowd! He was just a small distance away from the sparkling ball of light! 

　　That man from the Golden Wings Sect was the first to react as he hollered, “Stop him!” 

　　Elder Shu Feng commanded, “Go forward!” 

　　The two parties attacked each other with their short weapons and rapidly descended into chaos! 

　　A few gusts of cold wind came from behind. 

　　Rong Xiu didn’t turn around and rapidly flashed across, easily avoiding it. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived where the windstorm was. 

　　Standing here, everything appeared in front of them clearly. 

　　The previous water had already disappeared, and only a gigantic black vortex was slowly turning in the wetland. 

　　It was completely dark and so deep that one couldn’t see the bottom. Looking down from above, it was like a gigantic fiend had opened its mouth. 

　　Once one dropped into it, endless torture and death would await! 

　　At this time, the windstorm caused by the gathering of the dark clouds had already hit them. 

　　The grayish-black windstorm was also gradually absorbed by the black hole-like existence. Only where the two parties connected could one see a faintly glowing ball of light. 

　　It was only the size of a human head. The light was soft yet magnificent as it exuded tremendous strength! 

　　Rong Xiu stared at it closely, and shock flashed across his eyes. This aura… It doesn’t seem to be the royal Yuan instrument? 

　　“Go and die!” While Rong Xiu was momentarily dazed, the people behind found an opportunity to strike. 

　　Majority won. Even though the people from Ling Xiao Academy had already tried their best, they still gradually became the losing side. 

　　Some people tried to break through their line of defense and went straight to Rong Xiu! 

　　Detecting the countless cold auras behind him, Rong Xiu’s expression turned cold as harsh murderous intent flashed across his eyes! 

　　He didn’t turn around as he waved his hand! A ray of golden light flew out, forming a very strong barrier around him! 

　　The muscular man—who thought that he was winning—suddenly had a change in expression. “You—” 

　　Coincidentally, Rong Xiu had already rapidly gone forward and took that ball of light into his arms at this time. 

　　“Shoo!” 

　　Elder Shu Feng’s two fists couldn’t go against four hands, and he suddenly vomited blood. However, he still immediately noticed Rong Xiu’s actions, and he couldn’t help but be elated. Withstanding the bloody taste all over his mouth, he boomed, “Activate the formation!”
