"As for killing me, do you dare? Are you not afraid that the Sacred Mother will find out?" Lin White paused briefly and then sneered coldly.

Ordinary people were unaware of the actual status of the legendary Sacred Mother, but Lin White had a decent relationship with Lin Yun and his party back then.

Lin Yun's group had given him a rough idea and advised that if, after their departure, he had no choice but to face the powerhouses from the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm, he could invoke the name of the Sacred Mother, which might be effective.

However, under normal circumstances, it was best not to divulge this information, since even Lin Yun's group was not entirely sure about the Sacred Mother's situation in the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm at that time.

Lin White had agreed, and for the past decade and more, he had never mentioned the Sacred Mother's name, no matter the situation.

But at this moment, he had spoken it out loud.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was complete silence in the chamber.

The cultivators from the Immortal Origin Holy Land showed a slight change in expression.

The Sacred Mother, as they well knew, was the reason they dared not act recklessly on Earth.

The sudden mention of the Sacred Mother by Lin White also brought a tinge of wariness into their hearts.

"You did indeed have a good relationship with that Lin Yun..." However, after just a moment, Senior Brother Li, with eyebrows shaped like the number eight, narrowed his eyes and spoke softly.

This time, his visit was to probe the relationship between Lin White and Lin Yun from over a decade ago, because the profits from technology and tech products on Earth had been nearly fully exploited over their years of excavation.

Therefore, finding a way to obtain more was necessary.

The high-end technology on Earth was mostly related to Lin Yun. People who had been on good terms with Lin Yun back then were a potential breakthrough.

Perhaps they could obtain advantageous technologies or tech products from those who had been close to Lin Yun back then, which would be a significant gain.

This sentence, too, was a probe.

Perhaps ordinary Earthlings did not comprehend the status of the Sacred Mother in the Immortal Origin Holy Land, but it didn't exclude the possibility that some astute individuals might guess it.

Then again, Lin White might have been informed by Lin Yun during their good relationship back in the day.

If Lin Yun could share such sensitive information, he most likely could have shared some technology or tech products as well.

"What's wrong? Are you scared now? Scared that Lin Yun will come back? To deal with you?" Lin White smirked coldly as he spoke.

"Don't try to use the Sacred Mother to intimidate us. You might not be aware, but although the Sacred Mother holds some status in the Immortal Origin Holy Land, she can't do whatever she wants, nor does everyone take kindly to her. Perhaps she is already in no position to save herself, not to mention that she cultivates in the realms beyond the heavens where a day there is a year on Earth.

How could she have the time or energy to care about earthly affairs?" Senior Brother Li spoke confidently.

"As for that Lin Yun? Am I afraid he'll come back? Afraid he'll come after us? Hah! You must not realize how vast this world is. He's just a minor cultivator who entered the Starry Sea in the eighth or ninth realm.

It would be surprising if he could even make it back alive! And even if he does return, what of it? Our sect is not just for show. Our elders and sect leaders are all stronger than him! What's he in comparison?" Senior Brother Li sneered after pausing.

"Indeed, what's he compared to them?"

"If he doesn't come back, fine. But if he dares to return, we will surely make him like you, beaten like a dog!"

"If he wasn't afraid of us, why would he have fled? You still dare to boast about him, it's ridiculous!"

The fellow junior brothers and sisters of Senior Brother Li also recovered from the initial shock, and as they looked at Lin White, they scoffed in unison.

"It seems like you got off too lightly and your head's still not cleared!"

In the midst of this conversation, a young man sneered and strode forward, aiming a kick at Lin White, about to strike him once again.

Lin Yun had become the Lord of Immortal Origin only in recent days, and since they had been stationed on Earth for too long, communication between Earth and the Immortal Origin Holy Land wasn't very convenient, so they were unaware that not only had Lin Yun returned, but he had also taken up the mantle as the new Lord of Immortal Origin.

Otherwise, even with a hundred times the courage, they would not dare to speak in such a manner.

They certainly would not dare to contemplate taking advantage of someone who once had a good relationship with Lin Yun.

As the young man made his move, the others, including Senior Brother Li, did not intervene. The rest looked on with sneers, waiting to see the joke unfold, while Senior Brother Li was contemplating that it might be a good thing for his junior brothers and sisters to give Lin White a lesson. It could make interrogation about new technologies and products much easier afterwards.

However—

Before the young man's foot could reach Lin White, he found himself unable to kick any further.

His whole body seemed to be fixed in place.

"Is that so?"

At the same time, two figures appeared in this space, a man, and a woman. The man was still speaking, and it was clear that the words spoken just now were his, delivered with an indifferent tone.

On the other side, a woman dressed in a fiery red dress, with an enchanting figure, was the first to catch everyone's eye. Her ethereal demeanor, like a sublime fairy descending from the heavens, sent a shock through the onlookers, making them exclaim involuntarily, "What a beautiful woman!"

"In all the world, could there be a woman as beautiful as this?"

Among those who were astonished were the female cultivators.

Usually, with the same-sex repulsion, such beauty would spark envy in them, but at this moment, the woman's beauty left them momentarily too stunned to feel jealous, only awed.

So much so, that they temporarily ignored the speaking man next to the woman.

"Little White, are you alright?" Just then, the woman turned her head, gazed at Lin White on the ground, and with an outstretched hand, a powerful force enveloped Lin White, helping him to stand up. At the same time, she asked with concern.
