Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 464 - 463: Leader? Cannon Fodder!

Chapter 464: Chapter 463: Leader? Cannon Fodder!

The air seemed to carry a strange scent, yet even Lin Hao did not know what it was.

Ahead, the two groups continued their war of words, neither Easterners nor Westerners were willing to throw the first punch despite their fierce cursing.

"Odd, could it really be ’friendship first, competition second’?" Mo Changfeng’s face was a blend of astonishment and confusion. As he turned back to look at Lin Hao, he only found Lin Hao seemingly lost in thought.

It was indeed strange; when had anyone seen Lin Hao zoning out before?

"Hey, you, yeah, you! Stop looking at others, I’m talking to you—go and ask what’s going on." Beside Lin Hao, Liu Chuixue’s eyes widened as she leaned forward.

With Lin Hao daydreaming and Ziyue silent, Liu Chuixue naturally assumed the role of boss. Seeing no one paying attention to her, she pouted her little nose, and a flash of fierceness passed across her charming face. Marching forward, she kicked Mo Changfeng’s butt.

Mo Changfeng had intended to dodge, but how could he match Liu Chuixue? The kick landed squarely on Mo Changfeng’s rear, sending him stumbling and crashing to the ground with a plop, his nose barely an inch from a pile of excrement left by an unknown animal—almost smeared by his fall.

"You, you, you, you!!" When had Mo Changfeng ever been treated this way? He jumped up, pointing his finger at Liu Chuixue’s nose from a distance, about to curse.

But Liu Chuixue just arched an eyebrow and glared at him: "And what are you gonna do about it?"

"Alright, that’s enough."

At this moment, Lin Hao finally came back to his senses, casting a puzzled gaze at Liu Chuixue and Mo Changfeng, before walking forward into the Eastern camp and pulling someone aside.

"What’s the situation?"

"What else could it be? Suddenly, a lake appeared here with an island in the middle—Lake Heart Island, look, that’s the island over there. There must be untold treasures on it. Look at that radiance, heh, certainly invaluable treasures. Those Western bastards want to gobble it all up by themselves, but no way. You... you... eh? You’re... Lin Hao!"

Nowadays, Lin Hao was a celebrity. Not to mention in the East, even in the West, there were few who didn’t recognize him. Since acquiring Liu Chuixue as his supreme mount, Lin Hao no longer bothered with disguises. Therefore, as soon as he appeared, the person, who was initially speaking eloquently, grew more and more familiar with Lin Hao and suddenly recognized him.

"Lin Hao! It’s Lin Hao!"

"What? Lin Hao has shown up? Where?!"

Suddenly, it was as if a stone had been thrown into a serene lake, stirring up a thousand ripples as calls for Lin Hao echoed everywhere.

Both the Eastern and Western camps began to grow chaotic.

"I didn’t expect my master to be a celebrity." Liu Chuixue’s gaze swept across the crowd, spotting countless people converging towards them. She immediately wrapped her arms coquettishly around Lin Hao’s arm and nestled against his shoulder like a bird snuggling up to its mate.

"What are you doing?" In such a public setting, Lin Hao, who was not a philanderer, tried to shake off the seductive woman clinging to him but to no avail. He could only glare at Liu Chuixue before whispering.

But to his surprise, Liu Chuixue hugged Lin Hao’s arm even tighter, laying her face fully on his shoulder and speaking in a delicate voice, "After all, I let you ride me, don’t you have some responsibility to take?"

Devilish, absolutely devilish! How had he not realized before that this giant spider was so flirtatious?

Lin Hao took a deep breath, resigning to endure it.

After all, what could he do when Liu Chuixue’s cultivation was far above his own?

In less than three minutes, Lin Hao was already surrounded by a crowd.

"Now that Lin Hao is here, I have nothing else to say. Our Shen Family will follow Lin Hao’s command!"

"Our Cangqiong Sect will follow Lin Hao’s command too!"

"And us..."

Mysteriously, all the team leaders from around had gathered here to pledge their loyalty, ready to follow Lin Hao’s command.

"Lin Hao, young hero, you are now the backbone of us Easterners. Your deeds are a model for us all! We are wholeheartedly willing to follow your lead!"

"That’s right! Down with those Western bastards, they’re way too arrogant!"

"They’ve been developing on Resurrection Island for five years now and think they own the place, completely disregarding Easterners. We need to show them that it’s the Easterners who are the true forefathers of Martial Arts!"

The crowd began to chatter and clamor, and Lin Hao had no choice but to press down his anger to his Dantian: "Silence!"

His voice wasn’t loud, but it cut through everyone’s shouting, rippling out in waves.

Instantly, the whole lakeside fell silent, everyone eagerly turning their attention to Lin Hao.

"You, come here and tell me what’s going on? The hunt in the forest is based on the principle of first-come, first-served, and the focus is on participation. Friendship comes first and competition second. What does it mean for so many of you to gather here?"

Lin Hao had decided to unify Earth, to take on the Westerners—not that he wanted to unless absolutely necessary.

"The waters of the lake are eerie. We’re the third group here. Before us, there were at least two groups similar in size who went into the lake. But once they went, they were gone, without a trace or shadow returning."

The person Lin Hao pointed to stepped forward, equally baffled, and gestured toward Lake Heart Island: "Everyone knows the treasure is on the island, but no one has been able to get there."

No one could reach the island?

The distance from the lakeside to Lake Heart Island was only a few hundred meters; with so many Cultivators present and none able to reach the island—that’s certainly not simple.

Lin Hao took strides forward.

The people in front of him consciously cleared a path to the water’s edge.

The lake was clear, unfathomably deep, exuding a natural fragrance, and complemented by lush lakeside trees, making for a picturesque scene.

However...

"What happened to those who went down before?" Lin Hao slightly furrowed his brow.

"Don’t know. Once they’ve been to the island, they’ve never reappeared. It’s feared they’re all dead on the island."

"Where there are treasures, there must be traps, ferocious beasts, or powerful Guardians. With such glorious radiance and aura, the dangers on the island are unpredictable. Isn’t recklessly going to the island seeking death?"

Someone nearby added.

Lin Hao understood.

These people were neither willing to fight by the lake, reducing their own strength, nor daring to truly seek their destiny on the island. Presumably, both sides were waiting here for their own experts to arrive before launching a collective assault on the island.

Just as well, the experts hadn’t arrived, but Lin Hao had, and due to Lin Hao’s notorious reputation—single-handedly challenging Sky-breaking Experts, and causing such turmoil in the Western region—these Easterners were unified in following Lin Hao’s command, wanting him to lead them to the island.

In plain terms, they wanted Lin Hao to be the one to confront any vicious demons on the island, while they either looted behind him, reaped the benefits, or fled if things went south. In any case, they stood only to gain.

Their plan was certainly smooth.

Not just Lin Hao, but even Liu Chuixue couldn’t help but snort disdainfully and laugh.
