Chapter 852: Is He Lin Yun?
Senior Brother Li deliberately made the situation seem very grave, as he wanted to intimidate the other party.
The main purpose was to buy time. Given the small size of Earth, even if a senior who received his distress signal was preoccupied, sending someone else to support them should not take long.
"You are envoys from the Immortal World? I am provoking a war between the Immortal World and the mortal realm? Hah! Are you even qualified to represent the Immortal Origin Holy Land? Who gave you the gall!" The Patrol Heaven Envoy let out a sneer after listening to Senior Brother Li's words and spoke.
"I am aware of your formidable strength, probably far surpassing ours, but in the Immortal Origin Holy Land, we are but ordinary beings; even within my own sect, there are countless strong cultivators. Do not make a grave mistake," Senior Brother Li said with a stern face.
The terms Immortal World, Heavenly Realm, and Immortal Origin Holy Land are what the Earth's humans call their origins. However, most ordinary people are unaware of the term Immortal Origin Holy Land, but someone with far superior strength, likely holding high status among Earth's native cultivators, would know of it. Thus, Senior Brother Li was not surprised.
"Knowing that you are mere ordinary beings in the Immortal Origin Holy Land, yet you dare to represent it?" the Patrol Heaven Envoy spoke coldly.
"Who dares to lay a hand on a disciple of the Sword Immortal Sect? Could it be they no longer wish to live?" At that moment, a thunderous voice came from the sky, and at the same time, a streak of light hung in the air above, looking down at everyone.
"It's Martial Uncle Mo!"
"This is great, it's actually Martial Uncle Mo who has come! Martial Uncle Mo is at the Peak of the eighth realm, renowned throughout the entire Immortal Origin World. Dealing with this Earth native will be effortless!"
Senior Brother Li and his company looked up to see the newcomer and exclaimed joyfully.
"Could it be that a strong being from the Immortal World has come?"
"Feeling that aura, it is immensely powerful. What exactly happened..."
"Could it be that yet another Earth cultivator couldn't resist rebelling, drawing them here to suppress the uprising..."
Shen City was an extremely developed metropolis with a large population even ten years ago; even after over a decade of chaos, it still boasted a substantial populace. The commotion caused by the newcomer's arrival was absolutely immense, immediately drawing the attention of many Earthlings who began to express their shock.
Over the past decade, strong beings from the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm had frequently appeared among the Earthlings, who had grown accustomed to their presence.
"Is that Lin White from Qingyun Company?"
"It seems that the Sword Immoral Sect is one of the Immortal World sects that have a cooperative relationship with Lin White?"
"Judging by the situation, it seems Lin White has had a conflict with the disciples of the Sword Immortal Sect?"
"Are those Lin White's friends? Alas, Lin White is in for trouble..."
Lin White, associated with Qingyun Company, managed some high-tech production lines and had numerous workers under him. He was a well-known figure in the area, and many recognized him, piecing together the gist of the situation and whispering amongst themselves.
Such matters were not difficult to guess, as similar incidents had happened all too frequently on Earth over the years.
"Those women are so beautiful..."
"What use is beauty? It would be better to be ordinary. Beauty is a sin, and now that they've clashed with the Sword Immortal Sect, their fate is probably worrying!"
"Such a pity..."
Subsequently, some people's attention turned to Lin Yun's party, noticing Lin Mengmeng, Xia Qingqing, and Lin Duoer, and couldn't help but express their admiration, ending with a tone of regret. As for Lin Yun, they merely glanced over him.
Lin Yun's demeanor was extraordinary, and he was quite handsome, but ultimately, men and women are different. No matter how handsome or charming, what's the use if it doesn't fill one's belly? Strength is what matters most; without it, everything else is inconsequential!
Lin Yun was very famous more than a decade ago, and it's likely that most people knew what he looked like. However, people are forgetful, and over a decade is enough time for many to forget the face of someone who isn't often mentioned.
Since Lin Yun and his company left, as strong beings from the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm descended, Lin Yun's name and image became taboo on Earth—spoken of by no one, for fear of being sensed by the powerful beings from those realms and provoking their ire.
Furthermore, with over a decade passing, Lin Yun's strength underwent a transformative change, and naturally, his demeanor also changed significantly.
Therefore, although these people saw Lin Yun, they did not recognize his origins.
Indeed, it had been over a decade, and Lin Yun had not been seen since; his sudden appearance here, even if some still remembered him and his appearance, likely would never imagine that Lin Yun could have returned.
Only those who were particularly close would be able to recognize him.
As for Lin White.
"Mengmeng... Lin Yun... you've finally returned..." Just then, Lin White finally snapped out of his daze, wiping away tears with his hand as he looked at Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng, his voice slightly choked up.
Throughout this, he did not turn his head to look at the disciples of the Sword Immortal Sect nor did he raise his head to look at the powerful being from the Sword Immortal Sect.
He heard what the disciples of the Sword Immortal Sect had said before: the strength of that strong being from the Sword Immortal Sect was only at the Peak of the eighth level.
The Peak of the eighth level? Lin Yun had reached that more than ten years ago!
Now, after more than a decade, he believed that Lin Yun's strength was even greater!
Perhaps the Sword Immortal Sect had even more formidable strong beings, but inexplicably, he just had faith in Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng's party. He believed that since Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng's party had returned, then all matters could definitely be resolved!
"Hmm?"
At that moment, Martial Uncle Mo spotted Lin Yun's party. He frowned slightly, feeling a hint of dissatisfaction in his heart because of their apparent disregard for him, as few in this party were looking in his direction.
