Chapter 337: Chapter 262: Liu Village! (4000 words) _2
However, she was, after all, a well-known genius girl from the Five Elements Continent. Despite her reluctance, she would not press the issue in front of so many people. She quickly pretended to be busy with her own affairs and did not ask any further questions.
“Young man, I was in the wrong just now. With your dazzling talent, you indeed have the right to say those words. I apologize to you here and hope you won’t take it to heart!”
At this point, an elder from the Drake Clan stepped forward and spoke with sincere attitude.
Having ascended to his position, naturally, he understood more. Such geniuses, even if they couldn’t be won over, should absolutely not be offended.
As for the matter of killing them in their cradle, he knew that his clan couldn’t execute it.
If this kind of prodigy continued to grow, it could potentially outshine all past and present generations, becoming the brightest star. It would be a blessing for the Three Thousand Zones. If it reached a certain level, it could even protect these lands from foreign conflicts.
“It’s alright, I too spoke too much just now.”
The sudden change in the other’s attitude somewhat caught Lin Hai off guard, but having seen a lot of the world, he soon adjusted his mentality.
“Then, we’ll part ways here. Until we meet again!” The elder of the Drake clan said very straightforwardly, bowing his fist and departing.
He could tell that the young man had clear and transparent eyes. He had no other feelings for Qing Yu, thus staying here was useless. It was better to attend to other matters.
After all, they came here, not just for a simple talent test.
As the green-robed girl and her group left, many other creatures gathered around, all attracted by the unusual activity of the stele.
“It’s this young man who has shattered the records of all history. My goodness, he’s really extraordinary! I have an unwed daughter in my clan who’s strikingly beautiful and eloquent. I might as well introduce her to him!”
Someone spoke out, showing considerable interest.
“Give it up. Those girls in your clan, they all look like their dads – none of them look attractive. You actually want to introduce them to someone else? Our girl is way better – truly beautiful!”
Everyone was chattering, causing Lin Hai to frown slightly.
These people were too enthusiastic, he didn’t like it much. They were too purposeful.
Other than the people from Immortal Mountain, at this moment, they were all staring at Lin Hai. They felt extremely uncomfortable, as if they had swallowed a fly. Whether they spoke up or not, they were in an awkward position.
Both their ancestor and the most dazzling genius of their clan were being suppressed by others. If such incomprehensible thing spread out, outsiders would definitely compare Immortal Mountain first. At that time, the mighty Immortal Dao might become the laugh of everyone after meals.
More importantly, if other geniuses came to test in the future, wouldn’t they see their clan’s ancestor beneath others as soon they raised their heads?! This was more unbearable than killing them.
“Young man, your conduct seems to be offensive to our Immortal Mountain. Even though your talent is unmatched, you are still…”
“Your clan is such a big deal, how can you be so narrow-minded? Can’t you understand that the ranks of this stele are unassigned and can’t be manipulated by external forces?”
Little Rock chimed in from the side.
He had always been at odds with Immortal Mountain. They were not only one of the culprits who initiated the catastrophe of the Lower Realm, but they also imprisoned his parents. Therefore, he naturally counterattacked when he had the chance.
However, at the same time.
Shi Hao was also exceedingly surprised at Lin Hai’s talent.
He was sure that he could never reach this level, even if the Supreme Bone still existed.
“Liu Village… just how many outstanding talents are hidden inside?”
Shi Hao exclaimed in his heart.
He thought that Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen already had excellent talents. They had both reached the Noble rank at a young age and were now surely lying low to enhance their foundations, hoping to ignite the Divine Fire and completely shed their mortal bodies.
But who would have thought that there would be even more impressive talents in that mysterious village? They had been honing their skills and have finally left their mark in the world, creating legends.
“You’re welcome to attack, let’s see who’s the first to respond.”
Lin Hai grinned, looking unconcerned.
Firstly, he hadn’t heard of Immortal Mountain and was completely unfamiliar with them. Secondly, those who claimed to be from Immortal Mountain didn’t have strong abilities, they were just Nobles. He could handle them alone, let alone with dozens of people standing behind him.
“My brother here didn’t steal or rob anyone. He tested his capabilities openly and honestly. If you from the Immortal Mountain want to attack, ask my sword if it agrees!”
The broad sword man spoke coldly, during that time he drew out the large sword that had been carried on his back.
In an instant,
A wave of chill invaded, as if countless frost flowers were inching across the bare skin. The air instantly filled with an indescribable aura of solemnity.
This was the sword intent.
With the unsheathing of the sword, the heaven and earth turned cold.
Swords are naturally cold, let alone those used for killing, adding an extra chill to the heart.
“Buzz!”
On one side, dozens of Nobles who had been hiding also stepped out, surrounding the people from Immortal Mountain right away.
“Liu Village could be more than what it seems. It’s certainly not a small clan or faction!”
Someone whispered quietly from afar.
Though beings at the Noble Realm are quite common in the Upper Realm, it’s not every small faction that can dispatch dozens of them all at once.
“Are you lot intending to make foes of us from Immortal Mountain?”
The people from Immortal Mountain lined their gazes around, their expressions unchanged as they said coldly.
Being the undying Taoist Orthodoxy of the Three Thousand Continents, Immortal Mountain possesses colossal influence beyond imagination. Even if they are only a side branch, the main branch still protects them, and will send help should any mishap occur.
People like the broad sword man remained silent and just returned their gaze.
In the end, the group from Immortal Mountain accepted their defeat and left the place.
They feared that these people would actually attack; even though the main branch would send help, that wouldn’t matter if they were all dead. What use would revenge be then?!
“Brother stone, we need to continue forward to explore. Let’s part ways here!”
Lin Hai and others also said their goodbyes to Little Dot.
Their paths forward were different and they could no longer travel together.
After bidding farewell to Lin Hai and his companions, Little Dot suddenly turned back. With newfound curiosity, he wanted to test his current powers against the opponent.
Putting all his strength into it, Shi Hao threw a punch.
There was a “bang!” and it seemed like the ground vibrated.
The next moment.
The sound of the Great Taoist appeared once again, and the Flowers of the Taoist appeared in swathes, with their staggering and dazzling twinkles.
Little Dot raised an eyebrow slightly. His name hadn’t surpassed Lin Hai nor reached the level of Qin Hao, but it had passed that of Qin Changsheng, this old ancestor of Immortal Mountain.
Shi Hao didn’t feel any sense of loss. His Supreme Bone was gone now, and reaching this level was actually pretty good. Most importantly, he surpassed the Immortal Supreme.
Little Rock made his move, and with a soft glow, he left his name on the stele.
Desolation.
It all speaks of desolation.
He followed Lin Hai’s example and carved his own silhouette. He even adjusted the angle of his buttocks to make it seem like he was seated on the characters representing Qin Changsheng.
After doing all of this, Little Dot grinned and took off flying towards somewhere.
“What now? Has another peerless genius emerged?!”
People in the distance were puzzled. They had only just left the stele when unusual events occurred.
Many people turned back wanting to find out what happened.
And then, just about everyone had astonished expressions on their faces.
Part of it was due to the talent of this Desolation, and another part was due to his ranking, positioned right above the characters representing Qin Chang Sheng.
Immortal Supreme… was he being ridden on again?!
“…” Direction of Immortal Mountain.
“Goddamnit, who is this now? Shit!”
The people of Immortal Mountain were triggered. Each of them was fuming with red eyes.
One time wasn’t enough, it happened again, with an even more provocative depiction. They thought someone really wanted to mess with their Immortal Mountain.
