Chapter 711: The Choice of Xiao Chong and His Party
"Little Gold...your mother...is truly remarkable..."
On the other side, Lin Yun, having witnessed this scene, found himself taking a sharp intake of breath in surprise.
He and Little Gold had just sparred with the enemy, and he knew very well how strong they were. It could be said that he was no longer the person he used to be, and neither was Little Gold, the combination of their strengths far surpassed that of Ouyang Zhanlei in the past.
Yet the strength of this Holy Land envoy was even greater than theirs.
The first time he met Little Gold's mother, she had sent Ouyang Zhanlei flying with a single swipe of her paw, and in the end, he had managed to escape.
At this moment, seeing Little Gold's mother beat this Holy Land envoy, he truly felt the immense strength of Little Gold's mother.
Indeed, without comparison, one would not understand. Without comparison, there would be no hurt.
"Roar--"
Hearing Lin Yun's remarks, Little Gold lifted his head and let out a roar, in which a sense of pride could be discerned.
"However..."
Lin Yun chuckled lightly, then a trace of worry arose in his heart.
He was fully aware of how powerful the Immortal Origin Holy Land was thousands of years ago. He always heard that the saints of the Immortal Origin Holy Land had left this world, but now, whether there were still saints in the Immortal Origin Holy Land was uncertain.
What could be confirmed was that even if there were no saints in the Immortal Origin Holy Land, there were still many powerful beings, the Super Warriors.
Little Gold's mother might be formidable, but could she contend with the union of dozens of Super Warriors?
He feared, probably not...
Moreover, with so many powerful beings in the Immortal Origin Holy Land, who knew if there were any even stronger beings?
Perhaps there would be someone whose strength was no less than Little Gold's mother, like this Holy Land envoy Chu Lee, who possessed strength far superior to average Super Warriors.
Even potentially, there could be someone more powerful than Little Gold's mother.
In that case, the Immortal Origin Holy Land was definitely not something Little Gold's mother could afford to offend.
Now, Little Gold's mother might have the satisfaction of battering the enemy, but what about afterward?
Whoosh--
With this in mind, Lin Yun teleported next to Xia Qingqing, Xiao Chong, and the rest of their group.
"Brother!"
Xia Qingqing was so overjoyed that she burst into tears and hugged Lin Yun tightly.
"Master Lin!"
Xiao Chong, Lianshan, and their party were also overjoyed, worrying about Lin Yun.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Lianshan, there are some things I originally intended to tell you later. But considering the current situation, I have to tell you now." Lin Yun patted Xia Qingqing's head, then lifted his head to look at Xiao Chong and Lianshan's party, saying seriously.
"Master Lin, what is it exactly?"
"Whatever it is, Master Lin, just tell us!"
Seeing Lin Yun's solemn expression, Xiao Chong, Lianshan, and the others got a bit nervous and pressed him for a response.
"Actually, I'm not from the Immortal Origin Holy Land or at least, I'm not the person from the Immortal Origin Holy Land that you comprehend. The Immortal Origin Holy Land now is different from before, you might not understand because you've never been..." Lin Yun hesitated for a bit then quickly communicated via telepathy.
Then, Lin Yun briefly explained the relationship between Earth and the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
"At that time, when you had the misunderstanding that we were people from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, I did not deny it due to the circumstances. I'm really sorry for letting you misunderstand for such a long time." After a pause, Lin Yun made an apologetic statement.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Xiao Chong, Lianshan, and the rest descended into silence.
They hadn't anticipated that Lin Yun and his crew's relationship with the Immortal Origin Holy Land was in such a state.
To be honest, they had been somewhat puzzled when they saw Lin Yun fighting with the envoy of the Immortal Origin Holy Land earlier.
But then, they heard the outcry from the Black Dragon King and the Lord of All, and saw the calculated maneuver from the envoy, that they had to eliminate such doubts.
Now, Lin Yun's words shattered their last shred of imagination.
It turned out that Lin Yun and his group's connection with the Immortal Origin Holy Land, as they understood it, wasn't that significant. In fact, they had even slaughtered several strong warriors of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, and their relationship with it was tense.
"You all saw what happened this time. Although Little Gold's mother rushed over, our relationship with the Immortal Origin Holy Land is thoroughly soured. You better leave as soon as possible or perhaps you can cut ties with us. Just say that we teamed up temporarily to participate in the Heavenly Principle Fruit tournament and defend against the Bloodthirsty Demon.
Later, when we truly have no issues, Lin Yun will generously reward you all..." Lin Yun, with a gentle smile, looked at Xiao Chong and his crew and said.
There was a trace of bitterness in his tone.
Frankly, they had gotten along well with Xiao Chong and his group during this time.
However, he wasn't sure how much of their good rapport was due to them being from the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
Yet, he believed in repaying kindness. That was his style.
No matter what the reasons were for these people to befriend and get along with them, they had undoubtedly benefited greatly from these relationships. In the future, if they survived, they would definitely pay back this kindness.
But, if these people had befriended them because they thought they were from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, and distanced themselves from them when they discovered the truth, after he repaid their kindness, their relationship with these people would gradually fade.
However, hearing the last sentence from Lin Yun, Xiao Chong and his group couldn't help but shiver in their hearts.
Especially Xiao Chong, Lianshan, and Huayang, they didn't deny that their initial friendship and camaraderie with Lin Yun's group had a lot to do with thinking they were from the Immortal Origin Holy Land. But during their interactions, they had come to deeply recognize Lin Yun's character.
Undoubtedly, Lin Yun had an excellent character, particularly suitable for a close friend.
Lin Yun's last words stung their hearts like a pierced needle. They sensed that if they nodded at this moment, their relationship with Lin Yun's group established over time, would cease to exist, even if Lin Yun's group survived and attempted to repay them in the future.
"What the hell is Master Lin talking about? We're friends and don't care about each other's past. Besides, I didn't know you were from the Immortal Origin Holy Land when we first met. It's true we met because of Brother Xiao, but I greatly admire your character. So if Master Lin doesn't mind, we're still friends.
How can I leave you when you're in trouble?" At this moment, Qing Luo turned to glance at the others, took a small step forward, looked at Lin Yun and proposed with a smile.
As he spoke, his body flickered, and he was already standing beside Lin Yun, his head slightly lowered, without looking at Xiao Chong and the rest.
At such a crucial point, everyone had their own choice to make, and he didn't want his decision to pressure the others.
"I will stay too," said Meng Black, smiling faintly.
Just as it was always his custom to be straightforward, he demonstrated his decision with his presence.
As his words fell, his body flickered and he was next to Lin Yun, his head also slightly lowered, without looking at the remaining Xiao Chong and Lianshan and their group.
"What do you mean? Are you trying to belittle us? We also greatly admire Master Lin's character, so we certainly won't leave at this moment. So what if it's the Immortal Origin Holy Land? It has a good reputation, so it won't necessarily do anything to us!"
Xiao Chong and Lianshan looked at each other, understanding the other's decision through their gaze. Looking at the downcast Qing Luo and Meng Black, Xiao Chong smiled and spoke.
Lianshan also smiled and nodded in agreement.
In the midst of this, the pair flashed to Lin Yun's side.
Whoosh--whoosh--
Huayang and Emma White didn't say a word but demonstrated their choice through their actions, teleporting to Lin Yun's side.
Perhaps their choice had something to do with Lianshan and Xiao Chong, but that was irrelevant now.
No matter the reason, their current choice was ridden with the risk of death.
They were all influential individuals in the upper echelons of the universe, so for them to make this decision was extremely commendable.
