Lin Cheng asked in a low voice: "But what?"

His gaze was fixated on the middle-aged man named Zhao Wanli. From the elemental energy fluctuations emitted by this man, he could sense that this man was not weak. He was at least at the 6th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, most likely at the 7th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm.

The few people behind Zhao Wanli were also quite strong. They were all in the 4th and 5th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm. Any one of them in the Dongluo City could be considered a powerful expert.

Lin City was not the least bit surprised by this.

Although it was just a small branch hall in Dongluo City, it was still under the wing of this huge monster. Even if a random servant came from the sect, he would still be able to suppress the experts of Dongluo City to the point that they wouldn't be able to lift up their heads.

Moreover, although it was very difficult to become a cultivator by reaching the Danhai Realm, it was the dream of all warriors.

Therefore, for many cultivators who had the ambition but did not have enough resources, they would be able to meet an alchemist who had the right to join the group. As long as they had the luck, they would be able to obtain the pills, even if they worked hard in the outside world for many years.

Therefore, it was not strange for there to be so many experts present.

Facing these experts, Lin Cheng had no fear. Even if these people attacked together, he would still be able to handle them.

When a cultivator cultivated, the higher their realm, the harder it would be for them to break through. Correspondingly, their strength would be even more terrifying.

It might still be impossible to see his cultivation level clearly, but after reaching the Arterial Circulation Realm, especially after reaching the 5th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm or above, every increase in cultivation level would represent a jump in strength. It was possible that two martial artists at the 2nd or 2nd level of the Arterial Circulation Realm would have equal battle prowess, however, if it was between the 8th and 9th level, it would be very difficult for such a situation to occur.

Unless a martial artist at the eighth level of the Arterial Circulation Realm practiced some heaven-defying combat skill that was able to offset the gap between the realms, there was no way the two would be equal.

Reaching the ninth level was equivalent to stepping onto the peak of an entire great realm. Anything in this world, if one was able to reach the peak, would cause one to be shocked. Dazzling, it would be an almost qualitative change.

Normally speaking, it would be a bit exaggerated for a master at the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm to fight against seven or eight experts at the 8th level. However, killing two or three of them would not be that difficult!

If it was the difference between the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm and the 1st level of the Pill Sea Realm, then the difference would be like clouds and mud.

There was even a radical saying that cultivators and practitioners could almost be considered as two different life forms.

Lin Cheng wasn't the only one who understood this logic. So did Zhao Wanli and the rest.

As such, even though the few people behind Zhao Wanli had faint traces of pride on their faces, their eyes were still on Lin Cheng, filled with caution and vigilance.

They were proud because they were all from the same family. No one dared to offend them in the entire northern part of the Eastern Region. Even large aristocratic families had to treat them with respect, and even the royal family wouldn't offend them.

However, their pride was impossible to feel when facing a powerhouse at the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm. A powerhouse at the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm was about to step into the Danhai Realm!

"Sir Lin, even though this is a personal grudge between you and Gong Qianxiang, no matter what, he is still an alchemist that came back together. Yet, he was killed on the spot by you. Is that a bit inappropriate?" Zhao Wanli asked calmly.

Lin Cheng frowned, "You want to avenge Gong Qianxiang?"

His hand quietly held the Zhanmadao tightly, ready to attack at any moment.

Zhao Wanli calmly said, "Sir Lin, you should know that the alchemist who killed me would not go so easily. Of course, Sir Lin's strength is astonishing, and I am not your opponent. I also have not thought of attacking you for Gong Qianxiang's death.

Lin Cheng stared at him and asked in a low voice, "What are you trying to say?"

When Zhao Wanli appeared, he said that he did not plan to avenge Gong Qianxiang. Thus, he must have other intentions. Furthermore, this was likely very important to Zhao Wanli.

Otherwise, Zhao Wanli shouldn't have taken such a risk. If he really thought of him as Gong Qianxiang's accomplice, or thought that he wanted to avenge Gong Qianxiang, then Zhao Wanli might not even have the chance to explain himself.

Therefore, Lin City was certain that Zhao Wanli must have come here with some ulterior motive!

"The Head Hall will definitely investigate this matter. Gong Qianxiang's death will not be casually wiped out." Zhao Wanli said, "I know that Sir Lin's strength is amazing, and he might be fearless, but Sir Lin should know that the steward that comes together is an outer disciple of the sect. He is a mighty cultivator at the Danhai stage!"

The outer court disciples that belonged to the sect, the cultivators!

Even though he was extremely confident in his own strength, he also understood that not to mention an expert from the Gui Sect, even this outer sect disciple from the Gui Sect was more than enough to chase him to heaven and nowhere to go.

Even though he was at the ninth level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, as long as he didn't break into the Danhai Realm within a day, there would be a huge gap between him and the Danhai Realm cultivators. It could even be said to be an insurmountable gap!

This gap was big enough that no matter where Lin City fled to, it would catch up with them. They would definitely not be able to escape from the Dan Sea Realm warriors!

However, at that time, the cultivators of the Myriad Sword Sect did not know his identity, so they could only investigate him closely. But now, his identity was known by everyone in the Dongluo City, and it was impossible to hide it even if they wanted to!

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng dispelled the idea of immediately killing Zhao Wanli and the others. "What are you all planning to do? You can say it clearly."

He quickly said: "Sir Lin, it is not impossible to resolve this matter. Although Gong Qianxiang is an alchemist, his strength is mediocre and his alchemy skills are average, so he was sent to watch over this Dongluo City. Otherwise, with his alchemy level, how could he watch over this place?"

Lin Cheng listened quietly, not saying a word.

Zhao Wanli continued, "I heard that two years ago, Sir Lin's alchemy skills were renowned throughout Dongluo City. It could even shake the entire Star Gauze Kingdom. As long as Sir Lin does something in the area of alchemy, this matter can be resolved."
