Chapter 360: Chapter 175

The crowd was arguing because they collectively possessed the magic necessary to cross to the other side. Using their Dharma devices, they could withstand the terrifying rule pressure and connect the other half of this Broken Bridge.

However, everyone held their Dharma device in high esteem, reluctant to risk their own for fear of damage. They knew that such a risk could render this trip to the Ancient Road Illusion pointless.

This was a big gamble. Everyone had hoped others would bring forward their Dharma devices and they could get the edge, but because everyone was of the same thinking, it had resulted in a half an hour of shouting match.

Among them, a few even had throne level Dharma devices, something an average person could not possess even in a hundred years. Those devices were their source of strength and confidence. Surely they couldn’t just let others walk over them.

Logan frowned. If the argument continued, nobody would make it across, and while this group could carry on arguing indefinitely, Logan was mindful of the pursuers from the Cloud upon the Sea operation he left behind.

An idea came to his mind: how could he convince everyone to willingly bring forward their Dharma devices to temporarily solve this Broken Bridge situation?

Logan spoke, gathering his thoughts and addressing the crowd, “Everyone, can we quiet down and hear what I have to say?”

“Chances are already appearing on the other side of the river for Sanctuary Powerhouses. Securing one would grant dominance amongst the crowd. Many forces are already hurrying their way here. We were the first ones, but we’re wasting time arguing. Everyone should weigh the pros and cons, don’t miss the big picture because of minor obstacles.”

No sooner had Logan finished his speech that restlessness pervaded the group, who all hoped to be the first to seize the opportunity meant for Sanctuary Powerhouses. Those who argued earlier were now urging others to bring forth their Dharma devices.

One man decided to lead the way, “I’ll bring out a Dharma device. It’s of Mythical Grade. I believe we all have more than one. No harm in giving out the weaker ones.”

A few others brought out their devices after him. But it was far from enough. To rebuild the other half of the Broken Bridge, they would need at least seven or eight more Dharma devices.

Those who had already given out their devices were visibly enraged. They couldn’t comprehend people’s selfishness. They had set examples, yet most insisted on gaining an advantage without contributing.

“Let’s make a rule. Those who don’t contribute a Dharma device will not be granted passage even if the bridge is rebuilt. Those with selfish intentions waiting for an opportunity will be put to death.”

The speaker was a member of a Mysterious Grand Family clan, and was already at the peak of the high-ranking Transcendent tier. His fearless contribution and assertive speech intimidated everyone.

Only then did the remaining members begrudgingly bring out a Dharma device. To prevent their equipment from being coveted, they marked them, with pained expressions, watching as their sacred devices were taken away.

Thanks to the relentless efforts of everyone, they managed to reconstruct the Broken Bridge. Everyone crossed after inspection. Those who didn’t contribute a Dharma device weren’t allowed to cross.

Of course, out of over a dozen people, only Logan didn’t contribute. After all, he only had one Dharma device, which was a reward from the System for the Ancient Instance. Without it, he would undoubtedly be in trouble when encountering throne level warriors.

One person stopped Logan, “You cannot pass. You were the first to ask for a contribution and now you’re hoping to benefit from it? You just want to use everybody else. And you’re a Mythical Realm practitioner?”

“I wouldn’t say that. I was the first to contribute the secret that a Sanctuary Powerhouse’s opportunity is just across the river which made everyone cooperate. Don’t I deserve to pass?”

Logan scoffed coldly, threatening, “I’m a Mythical Realm practitioner, and each of you are all transcendents, yet if I risked my life to kill one, I could probably succeed. But among the dozen of you, who is willing to die with me?”

“Moreover, consider this. Suppose I sabotage the other half of the bridge at the cost of my life, even if you kill me, can you build the bridge with your Dharma devices? We’re at this point now. I have laid my cards on the table, now decide.”

Logan’s words were forceful, and he didn’t sound like a Mythical individual at all but rather gave off the oppressive vibe of a Throne Realm denizen, silencing the crowd instantly. Indeed, Logan made a compelling threat.

If Logan was not allowed to cross, what if he retaliated and destroyed the other half of the bridge? Not only would all their efforts be wasted, but they would also lose their sacred Dharma devices.

Even if they could kill Logan, it would all be in vain. After all, their main aim in coming to the Ancient Road Illusion was to achieve certain opportunities, not just to kill a Mythical Realm youngster. It would be tough to let Logan cross without contributing. After all, Logan wanted to reap the benefits by sitting tight while they were the ones forking out their Dharma devices.

After intense thinking, someone finally came up with a reasonable plan, “I have an idea. We can straight-up kill Logan. If worse comes to worst, we don’t cross the bridge, but we could use his body to cross the river by swimming.”

They all nodded in agreement, viewing it as a splendid strategy. The risk is high, but at least Logan wouldn’t gain any advantage and he even would pay a terrible price.

No one could deny the viciousness of the group. But Logan was not someone to be trifled with. He immediately pulled out his weapon. If he could defeat a Throne with just one hand, why couldn’t he kill a few more Transcendents today?

As the dozen Transcendent warriors closed in, Logan swallowed. He wasn’t sure about their combined might and whether they could be a match for him. But there was no avoiding this fight. He needed to muster its full strength to fight.

Just as everyone was about to attack, the leader of the group raised his hand, indicating that they should avoid a fight unless absolutely necessary. That was the rule for survival in the Illusionary Realm. If they were wounded, those with ulterior motives could take advantage.

“I suggest we let him pass. He could be our guide and bear the brunt of the dangers ahead.”

The group then stood down and reluctantly backed off. Everyone crossed the Broken Bridge one by one, and they prepared to retrieve their Dharma devices. However, no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to make a move.

In the next moment, the ten-plus Dharma devices were affected by some rules in the air and disintegrated into several pieces in front of them. Everyone winced at the sight, considering the outrageous price of the Dharma devices.

Despite having better Dharma devices already, each lost device was a treasurable item. Its sale could have fetched a good price. But now they had been destroyed.

All agreed that they must grab every opportunity in the Illusionary Realm, or else all their losses would be in vain.
