Chapter 2239 Naivety

"What about you?" Yun Lintian looked at Huang Ba and asked curiously.

"I'm different from them," Huang Ba chuckled. "Instead of flattering someone in exchange for resources, I'd rather snatch them from others."

Yun Lintian chuckled at this. Huang Ba's method was certainly straightforward.

"How long will it take for your people to arrive?" he asked.

"Should be a few hours," Huang Ba replied.

"That quick?" Yun Lintian was surprised.

"Normally, our people are routinely traveling between the two regions. My master has probably told someone nearby to come over," Huang Ba explained, looking at Gu Bingning and Long Jingxia. "They are the same."

"I see." Yun Lintian was speechless. These people could have taken an easier way to travel, yet they chose to come here for a little adventure.

If Yun Lintian had a choice, he wouldn't have chosen this way to travel. It was too troublesome and a waste of time.

At this moment, Long Jingxia and Gu Bingning arrived with all the victims from the basement. Some of them were not so fortunate; their Divine Cores had been removed, leaving them clinging to life.

Yun Lintian looked at the victims with an indifferent expression. There were unfortunate people everywhere in the world. They were at least lucky to be alive.

"Senior..." Long Jingxia spoke hesitantly. She wanted to ask Yun Lintian for help but knew it was too much. However, she couldn't bear to see these people suffer.

"What? Don't you think it's too much?" Huang Ba glared at Long Jingxia with dissatisfaction. He was, of course, aware of Long Jingxia's request.

"I... I can pay for it," Long Jingxia said uncertainly.

The usual courageous Huang Ba was now no different from a timid kid.

Huang Zheng raised a hand, silencing Huang Ba's feeble attempt at an explanation. "Silence!" he commanded, his voice dripping with disdain. "Your actions have brought disgrace upon our valley. To think that you, a direct descendant of the Huang lineage, would be so weak and incompetent. It is truly a disappointment."

Huang Ba's fists clenched tightly at his sides, his nails digging into his palms. He wanted to defend himself, to explain the circumstances, but he knew that any words would be futile. His uncle's judgment was final.

Huang Zheng turned his attention to Yun Lintian, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Young man," he said, his voice slightly softer yet still carrying an undercurrent of authority, "I thank you for saving my nephew's life."

Just as Yun Lintian was about to respond, a tremendous pressure suddenly descended upon his entire being, causing the table and chair around him to shatter into pieces.

"Second uncle!" Huang Ba cried out anxiously. He knew his second uncle's temper very well. Clearly, he wanted to test Yun Lintian's strength.

Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly and waved his hand. Instantly, the surrounding space began to distort, and the pressure dissipated entirely.

"Law of Space?" Huang Zheng's eyes brightened. "You are quite a monster."

Yun Lintian patted the dust off his robe and cupped his fists. "Junior Yun Lintian greets Senior Huang."

He wasn't angry at Huang Zheng in the slightest, as he felt no malice within the latter's attack.

Huang Zheng landed in front of Yun Lintian and said, "I'm a rough man. No need for courtesies here."

He then glanced at Gu Bingning and Long Jingxia. "Oh. You two are here as well."

"Greetings, Second Elder Huang," Gu Bingning and Long Jingxia quickly greeted Huang Zheng. Evidently, they were familiar with this man.

At this moment, two colossal profound arks emerged from the void, one silver and the other pristine white.

Soon, two beautiful women flew out of the profound arks.

"Long time no see, Gu Tongjia, Long Chunmei," Huang Zheng said, revealing his white teeth at the newcomers.
