Chapter 372: Chapter 258: The Momentum of Lin Yan! The Defeat of Lin Lei! [First Update!]

In front of the Linjiang Station.

Wu Chang, the Inspection Envoy, stood tall and upright with an indifferent expression.

His left hand rested on the hilt of his sword at his waist, while his right hand was placed behind his back, observing the other party with an incredibly relaxed posture.

The Chief True Man of the Sixth Vein of the Holy Land, endowed with the blessings of three generations, possessed an awe-inspiring presence and the power of Refining God.

This time, without Mr. Lu by his side to withstand the pressure of the Refining God Realm.

Even Lin Yan could not help but feel solemn.

He felt as though a great mountain pressed down upon him, so heavy that he struggled to breathe.

Yet his gaze remained icy cold, his facial expression detached.

Just that, he gradually relaxed his left hand, which had been resting on the hilt of his sword.

And then his right hand returned to the front, gripping the sword hilt once more.

"..."

Everyone from the Holy Land could see clearly that Wu Chang’s previous stance seemed very relaxed, showing not the slightest respect for those from the Holy Land and disregarding them entirely.

But his current posture looked extremely somber.

Yet even such solemnity didn’t make the people of the Holy Land feel an ounce of respect.

Because this solemn posture was one preparing to draw his sword.

"Mr. Lu isn’t here, do you seek death by drawing your sword in front of the Chief True Man?" the thirteenth young master suddenly sneered with arrogance.

"It seems as if the Chief True Man wishes to offer me guidance," Lin Yan replied calmly. "Wouldn’t it be a disservice not to draw my sword in response? Or do you all think that with my level of cultivation, I can spar with the Chief True Man without drawing my sword?"

He slightly lifted his head and said, "If that’s the case, then you are greatly underestimating the Chief True Man’s three generations of blessings!"

"What a smart mouth."

The Chief True Man suddenly laughed.

With his age and experience, it was clear to him that Wu Chang’s insinuation was that the Chief True Man relied entirely on the blessings contained within the token!

If not for these three generations of blessings, his old bones might not even catch the other’s eye.

Such a young man, indeed arrogant to the extreme! If one were to judge purely by temperament, his arrogance far surpassed even that of the Li Shen Sect!

Thinking so, the Chief True Man’s gaze grew colder, and he spoke slowly, "Considering your services to High Willow City, I will not hold your impertinence against you!"

"There’s no need for guidance. Although I am indeed interested in testing your abilities, with Brother Lu absent, I wouldn’t want to be accused of bullying a junior and disrespecting my elders after the fact."

"Right now, I have urgent matters to attend to. After I return from the Residual Prison Mansion, there will be time for guidance. There will always be another chance to meet in the future."

Saying so, the Chief True Man rode forward.

But for some reason, he glanced at the thirteenth young master.

Then the thirteenth young master, looking at Lin Yan, sneered and said, "Next time, once my injuries have healed, I will come to experience the skills of the Inspection Envoy Wu Chang for myself."

"You think you’re worthy?"

Disdain was written all over Lin Yan’s face.

Seeing the conflict in their words, the Chief True Man withdrew his gaze and cast aside his last shred of doubt.

He had been uncertain whether Mr. Lu’s people contacted the thirteenth young master the night before.

However, based on the various reports from Li Xuantong’s eyes and ears in High Willow City, he could at least be sure that Wu Chang had not been in contact with the thirteenth young master.

As the people of the Holy Land departed.

Lin Yan also let go of his sword hilt, thinking to himself, "My Five Mountains Dragon Capture has also made some progress. With the power of the Golden Body Divine Skill..."

He felt a vague sense of regret in his heart.

If the other party really thought that, with Mr. Lu absent, they could humiliate him.

Then, to protect himself and to act against the Chief True Man of the Holy Land would be justified!

With his cultivation at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm!

Plus the strength of the Little White Ape, which had recovered inside the Nirvana Divine Egg!

Armed with the Golden Body Divine Skill and his skill in the Five Mountains Dragon Capture!

He might well have fought a battle!

—

Outside High Willow City.

"Why didn’t uncle ancestor take action and teach him a lesson?" Li Xuantong frowned, feeling somewhat angry.

The other four envoys of the Holy Land, as well as the six disciples, all felt deeply humiliated.

Even the Supreme Commander of the Qifeng Prefecture Sky Observation Bureau would not dare to be so unbridled in front of the Chief True Man.

Let alone a mere High Willow City, where just being a General Flag Envoy was bold enough to behave so arrogantly!

If Mr. Lu were present, relying on the backing of the Refining God Realm might be excusable.

But without Mr. Lu around, such a junior was still acting so brazenly.

"What would be the point of disciplining him? It would only add to our grievances..." The Chief True Man chuckled and said, "This young man, so young yet so capable, is hailed as the number one prodigy of the Qifeng Prefecture with a talent that rivals the Li Shen Sect’s geniuses!"

"As a subordinate of the Sky Observation Bureau, he has many merits to his name. I’ve heard that the Supreme Commander of the Qifeng Prefecture Sky Observation Bureau pays him much attention."

"Brother Lu also thinks highly of him, which means the Wutong Temple regards him the same way."

"The Great City Guard of High Willow City Guard Mansion, City Captain, and two Deputy City Governors must be grateful to him for his ability to repulse the Holy Land’s decisions!"

"The man visited the Liu Zun Temple yesterday and received gifts from the Great Temple Priest."

"Such a person, as long as he doesn’t commit a crime deserving death, will be nourished by the Holy Land in the future."

The Chief True Man, smiling, continued, "We cannot simply kill him in public just because he was rude!"

The thirteenth young master frowned and said, "A mere High Willow City, when compared not only to our Holy Land but even to Qifeng Prefecture City, is nothing but a barbaric little town. If not for my injury before, I’d really like to test him..."

He declared with pride, "I refuse to believe that our Holy Land’s legacy would be bested by a brute Martial Artist from a remote city. We will meet him again in the future."
