The elders were too taken aback to stop them and by the time that they reacted, it was already too late.
Lin Fan less than three meters away from the pillar.
They didn't know what the activation conditions for this pillar was, so they didn't dare act rashly around it. If they rushed in and made things worse for Lin Fan, then they would just be harming him instead of helping him.
So they could only watch and wait to see what would happen.
But even when he was this close, it didn't seem like anything was about to happen.
Lin Fan stopped for a second as he carefully watched the pillar. He wanted to see if there would be any changes, but it didn't seem like there would be.
Only then did he start moving towards it again with slow steps.
When he was right up against it, Lin Fan slowly reached his hand out towards the pillar in front of him.
