Rose stared at Leo and Seraphina, her eyes flickering with light.
Windsor had gone to seize the “Phantom Celestial Zither,” instructing them to obtain the “Blue Fairy Dress” and “Blue Fairy Hairpin.”
However, after such a long delay, they still hadn’t managed to grab them.
By now, most of the light clusters in the sky had already been taken by the Cultivators.
The situation would only become more competitive, with fewer treasures and more contenders.
More importantly, the quarter-hour was almost up.
Rose hesitated, unsure whether to retrieve the Blue Fairy Dress and Hairpin or to use the remaining time to snatch other treasures.
While Rose hesitated, the three from the Godsbane Dynasty who had been chasing the blue light cluster did not.
The three, two men and one woman, were all high-level Spirit Saints.
They charged directly at Leo and Seraphina, ready to fight for the treasures.
Judging by their attire, they were likely from the Savage God Sect.
Leo had no good impression of the Savage God Sect. He knew that ever since he had killed two of the Webb Siblings, a battle with Maverick was inevitable.
Thus, Leo did not hesitate. He threw a punch directly at the three charging figures.
The punch split into three, and three large ice crystal fists filled with chilling air shot towards them.
The three attackers halted and retreated to dodge.
“Damn it, kill him!” The tall, thin woman in the center said coldly.
The three summoned their weapons with a wave of their right hands.
Seeing this, the two from the Giant Wolf Dynasty also unleashed their auras, intending to seize the Blue Fairy Dress and Hairpin from Leo and Seraphina.
“Rose?” Winter and Luna looked at Rose simultaneously.
Rose quickly made up her mind. “Let the five of them deal with that young man first. We’ll move in later to take down that woman and snatch her Storage Sack.”
With that, Rose’s group of three, the three from the Godsbane Dynasty, and the two from the Giant Wolf Dynasty, a total of eight people, targeted Leo, Seraphina, and Puppet General.
“Fine, let’s do this together.” Leo sneered without a trace of fear on his face.
Seraphina’s expression remained cold. After storing the Blue Fairy Dress and Hairpin in her Storage Sack, she summoned the Skywater Blade into her hand.
Puppet General also unleashed a sharp sword aura from within.
Just as a fierce battle was about to erupt, a majestic and authoritative elderly voice echoed from above the square: “Adventurers, the quarter-hour is up. Cease all actions!”
The overwhelming pressure from this powerful voice caused all Cultivators, whether fighting or chasing light clusters, to stop in their tracks simultaneously.
As they halted, the remaining fast-moving light clusters also stopped in mid-air.
Approximately two hundred light clusters remained.
If not for Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s voice stopping them, a brutal fight for these remaining clusters would have undoubtedly ensued among the Cultivators.
“The remaining treasures you failed to seize will be distributed randomly.” As soon as Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s words ended, the remaining two hundred light clusters began flying randomly towards the Cultivators.
Two light clusters flew towards Leo and Seraphina.
Inside these clusters were two relatively precious seventh-grade treasures.
Not far away, a light cluster flew towards Rose’s group of three.
No light clusters flew towards the five from the Giant Wolf Dynasty and Godsbane Dynasty, leaving them visibly displeased.
Soon, all remaining light clusters were randomly distributed.
Those who unexpectedly received light clusters looked as if they had won a prize.
“Adventurers, the Sealing Light Screen leading to the Central Hall has opened. Those who wish to receive my legacy may proceed to the Central Hall. After passing a challenge there, I will have additional rewards.” Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s voice continued.
The Cultivators’ eyes once again burned with excitement and anticipation.
“It seems the greatest opportunity on Pill Sovereign Island lies within the Central Hall.”
“Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign mentioned additional rewards. What could they be?”
“Although we can’t compete with the prodigies, opportunities are unpredictable. Let’s go check it out!”
Many Cultivators transformed into streams of light, eagerly heading towards the Central Hall.
In mid-air, a figure in a green dress appeared beside Rose’s group of three.
“Windsor,” Rose, Winter, and Luna called out in unison.
Seeing Windsor holding a white light cluster containing the Phantom Celestial Zither, they couldn’t help but smile with joy.
“Congratulations on obtaining this Spirit Treasure,” Rose said happily.
Windsor nodded and asked Rose’s group, “Where are the Blue Fairy Dress and Hairpin?”
“Windsor, we failed. They were taken by those two,” Rose pointed towards Leo and Seraphina.
Windsor followed Rose’s direction. Upon seeing Leo and Seraphina clearly, her gaze sharpened.
“Windsor, those two are quite strong,” Luna remarked.
“Windsor, should we take action now to seize the Blue Fairy Dress and Hairpin?” Winter suggested.
Windsor shook her head. “Let’s head to the Central Hall first. We’ll deal with them later.”
With that, Windsor transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the Central Hall. Rose’s group followed closely behind.
In mid-air, the five from Giant Wolf Dynasty and Godsbane Dynasty returned to their respective sects’ formations.
The three from Godsbane Dynasty approached a tall figure clad in golden beast hide and recounted what had happened.
“You useless fools!” The tall figure scolded angrily before casting his gaze towards Leo and Seraphina.
This person was none other than Maverick of Godsbane Dynasty.
“Let’s go to the Central Hall first,” Maverick said as he led his group towards the Central Hall at high speed.
Streams of light filled the sky as everyone headed towards the Central Hall in a spectacular display.
“Seraphina, let’s go too,” Leo said as he put away Puppet General and turned to Seraphina.
Seraphina nodded and followed Leo closely.
After flying swiftly for two or three minutes towards the Central Hall, a massive palace gate came into view.
The gate stood over ten feet tall and was quite majestic.
It was wide open but covered by a water-like membrane that obscured what lay inside.
The first few Cultivators hesitated briefly before rushing through the water-like membrane.
They believed that with Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s reputation and status, he wouldn’t deceive them or set dangerous traps.
