Child Soul Realm!
It wasn't just their artifacts that were in the Child Soul Realm, even their pets were in the Child Soul Realm!
What was going on here?
When did the assassins from the Assassins Association suddenly become this strong?
With these things, even if they were outnumbered, they wouldn't necessarily be at a disadvantage. And facts proved that they weren't.
As soon as the two sides clashed, the ones that were pushed back were the Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family groups. With a single clash, the members of the Alchemy King Hall and Dian Family groups collapsed at the first blow.
The key thing was that they had split the groups evenly between the Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family. That meant that each group had one person from the Alchemy King Hall and one person from the Dian Family.
The reasoning behind this was that as alchemists, the people from the Alchemy King Hall weren't as proficient at fighting compared to the Dian Family, but that didn't mean that they were weaker. The power that the experts from the Alchemy King Hall had was the power of their flames, or rather the flexibility that they had with their flame control skills.
Working with those from the Dian Family, they would be able to cover their blind spots and overall demonstrate a power that was greater than if either was working alone.
But that didn't matter since the people from the Assassins Association had Child Soul Realm Artifacts and Child Soul Realm Pets.
Even when they were working together, the difference in power was just too much that the Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family groups were blown away.
Of course, that didn't mean that the Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family groups were giving up.
Even if they weren't able to face them in terms of power, that didn't mean that they were helpless in front of that power. After all, if they weren't able to land their attacks at all, they wouldn't have any meaning at all.
So the members of each group spread out to go to opposite sides of the people from the Assassins Association, forcing them to focus their attacks on one person first. But as long as they focused on one person, the other person would focus on attacking while the person being targeted would focus on dodging.
This kind of going back and forth forced the person from the Assassins Association to divert their attention while attacking, giving the person being targeted room to dodge.
Just like this, they used a combination of attack and defense to kite the person from the Assassins Association around.
Finally when it seemed like the first person from the Assassins Association was about to go down, they all suddenly pulled back.
The people from the Alchemy King Hall and Dian Family groups weren't surprised at all by this. Instead, they just gathered in front of the Assassins Association group with a smug look on their face, but there was no hiding the greed in their eyes.
After all, this was four different Child Soul Realm Artifacts!
This was something that would make any person from the younger generation excited, not to mention that it was in front of their face now.
But of course, they didn't let their guard down since there was still one last person who hadn't made a move the entire time. He was clearly the leader because of his different coloured cloak, but why didn't he make a move the entire time, even when his subordinates were being beaten?
The most suspicious part was that they couldn't sense any aura coming from this person at all.
That meant that they couldn't see through his cultivation, which was a pretty bad sign.
After gathering back in front of the person with a different coloured cloak, the people from the Assassins Association said, "Lord, we can't take care of them. Please make a move."
Hearing this, the person with a different coloured cloak gave a cold snort, but this cold snort was not a normal cold snort. The moment that he gave this cold snort, there was a chill that filled the entire area that made people feel like they had fallen into ice.
That person's eyes could be seen through the cloak and when those eyes were cast over the Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family groups, they felt like they were standing in front of the reaper. It was like there was a scythe that had been placed at their necks and they would be killed at any second.
Several people couldn't help taking a step back and one person's legs crumpled under them as they fell to the ground with a look of terror on their face.
That person with the different coloured cloak didn't say a thing as he suddenly raised his hand.
There was a blue glow that appeared around his hand and it was clear that he was about to release an attack, but the aura that it released was one that the people from the Alchemy King Hall and Dian Family groups had never felt before.
The people from the Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family knew that this was it. If this attack were to hit them, there was no chance for them to survive.
So without any hesitation at all, the people from the Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family immediately turned to run off in different directions.
However, when the person with the different coloured cloak saw this, he just gave another cold snort without worrying about a thing.
Then the blue glow in his right hand suddenly became brighter as spikes of ice suddenly flew out at the people from the Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family.
They knew that it was impossible for them to fight back, but none of them were willing to die without doing a thing, so they put up their defenses in the end.
The people from the Alchemy King Hall released all their flames together to create a giant wall of flames while the people from the Dian Family released lightning to create a net that covered the wall of flames.
However, when the spikes of ice made contact with the wall of flames, the flames scattered in an instant like it wasn't even there in the first place. The spikes of ice weren't affected at all by the flames, there wasn't even a single drop of water on them from being melted by the heat.
As the people from the Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family, they could only watch as those spikes of ice became bigger in front of their eyes as they approached.
But then before the spikes of ice could hit them, there was a white dagger surrounded by a colourful glow that suddenly flew out. This dagger was aimed right at the spikes of ice and when they made contact, the spikes of ice were suddenly smashed to pieces.
Of course, the white dagger wasn't able to completely negate the force of the spikes of ice and was sent flying back in the direction that it came from.
The moment that the spikes of ice were shattered, the person in the different coloured cloak immediately knitted his brows as he turned in the direction that the white dagger came from.
It had to be known that the attack that he had just released was already equivalent to an attack from a High Child Soul Realm Expert. It was something that he had considered invincible in these ruins, but now there was someone that had been able to shatter his attack.
When he looked in that direction, the one he saw was no one else but Lin Fan.
Lin Fan had been watching the entire time, debating on whether to interfere or not.
After all, if he didn't need to, he didn't want to show himself since there was no merit to it.
The only reason that he had stayed in the first place was because the Assassins Association group had suddenly shown up.
The Assassins Association was working with the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect, so that meant that they would inevitably go against him and the Hunters Organization. Since that was the case, it would have been a good idea to take care of them before they could cause any trouble.
Of course, if the Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family groups could take care of them by themselves, that would be even better since it would be less trouble for Lin Fan.
In fact, he wouldn't have interfered if the person with the different coloured cloak hadn't used his attack.
He could tell how powerful it was, so he hadn't hesitated at all to throw out his dagger.
The Alchemy King Hall and the Dian Family groups were more important than offending the Assassins Association. After all, he had already offended the Assassins Association with everything else he had done, so nothing he did now could make it worse.
Instead, it was better to save the Alchemy King Hall and Dian Family group since they could be potential future allies.
In fact, with the strength that the Assassins Association group had shown, they would most likely have to work together to deal with them in the future.
When Lin Fan caught his dagger, he couldn't help looking at it with a surprised look.
The person with the different coloured cloak knitted his brows even deeper as he finally spoke. He said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
