Chapter 863 How Ridiculous
A young man appeared at the spatial rift, looking at the people present with an indifferent face.
"True Martial!"
"True Martial Saint Lord!"
Seeing this person, Langya Saint Lord was alright, frowning slightly, but the other Saint Lords exclaimed in shock, with some even retreating a great distance immediately.
The True Martial Saint Lord was at the Saint Lord Realm, capable of defeating nine ordinary Saint Lords with just one move. If he targeted only one of them, their death was certain, so how could they not fear?
However, the speed of this True Martial Saint Lord was too fast; when they had been in the outside world just moments before, they received news that the True Martial Saint Lord was still at the junction of this universe and the Netherworld.
In such a short time, this True Martial Saint Lord had rushed over. Even if their speed increased by several times, they probably couldn't achieve that, not to mention, they were unclear about when the True Martial Saint Lord started to make his way here, which caused them even greater dread of him.
What they did not know was that one day in the thirty-third heaven of Immortal Origin World equaled one year in the ordinary space. Although they had spent a very short time in the thirty-third heaven of the Immortal Origin World, more than a day had already passed in the outside world.
The True Martial Saint Lord hadn't discovered the anomaly here as quickly as they imagined, nor had he arrived so quickly.
"You have some nerve to trespass into the Immortal Origin Holy Land without authorization and even lay a hand on the Holy Mother..." the True Martial Saint Lord said with a cold snort, looking at these people.
"We certainly didn't enter the Immortal Origin Holy Land on our own, we were brought... invited here by the Langya Saint Lord, and moreover, we didn't lay a hand on the Holy Mother. We just stopped her briefly, yes, that's it..." one of the Saint Lords hurriedly said.
"The Saint Lord from the Giant Ape Clan has seen the True Martial Saint Lord. The Eternal Ancestor was right, we would never dare to trespass into the Immortal Origin Holy Land without authorization, please recognize the truth, Saint Lord!" another Saint Lord also followed up with an explanation.
The other Saint Lords were also explaining hastily one after another.
"True Martial Saint Lord."
On the other side, the Holy Mother, seeing this scene, let out a slight sigh of relief and stepped forward to speak.
Just now, she had been trying to contact the True Martial Saint Lord but could not reach him at all, and she knew that the space around her had been restricted by Langya Saint Lord and his people. Fortunately, the True Martial Saint Lord had sensed something amiss and immediately came.
With the strength of the True Martial Saint Lord, these people combined couldn't stir up any trouble.
"Alright, True Martial, these people were brought in by me. Lin Yun has recklessly slaughtered the disciples of our Immortal Origin World in the Ancestor's Land. I don't think he's suitable to be the Lord of Immortal Origin.
However, since you were the one who recommended him for the position of the Lord of Immortal Origin, I didn't want to embarrass you, so I didn't tell you about this." Just then, Langya Saint Lord withdrew from the battlefield, distancing himself from Lin Yun, and spoke indifferently.
"It's actually True Martial Saint Lord..."
At a distance, Chu Lee, who had been sent flying by the True Martial Saint Lord and was seriously injured, was very strong in his vitality as a Super Warrior and had mostly recovered in this short period of time.
Just now, upon realizing that the True Martial Saint Lord had arrived, his heart was filled with shock; he knew that his master bringing outsiders to confront the Lord of Immortal Origin and the Holy Mother was a massive issue.
If by any chance the True Martial Saint Lord struck at his master, his master probably wouldn't end well. And given that he was his master's only disciple, had been one of the executors just now, and bore grudges against Lin Yun, the current Lord of Immortal Origin, how could he expect a good outcome?
But then, he saw his master's calm demeanor and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed that things were not as bad as he had imagined.
"Heh!"
On the other side, Lin Yun also quickly retreated, putting some distance between himself and the Langya Saint Lord. Hearing the words of the Langya Saint Lord, he let out a cold laugh.
This Langya Saint Lord really knows how to shift the blame.
Because the Saintly Mother and the True Martial Saint Lord pushed him to become the Lord of Immortal Origin, this matter was extraordinary, naturally requiring him to understand the major Cultivators of the Immortal Origin World, especially such a formidable Sanctuary Cultivator as the Langya Saint Lord.
Therefore, he had come to know many of the actions and styles of the Langya Saint Lord.
He was very focused on cultivation, rarely intervening in other affairs, and hardly took ordinary Cultivators seriously.
Even if those Cultivators were from the Immortal Origin World.
Moreover, his confrontations with those Cultivators were for a reason, and unless someone was particularly nitpicky, no one could find fault in his actions.
And it wasn't just the Cultivators of the Immortal Origin World he had killed; there were also many who lived on Earth.
This Langya Saint Lord had long been displeased with him. This time, his blatant scheming involved giving such a feeble excuse, it was surprising for someone who was a powerful figure of the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
"Langya, I know about Lin Yun's actions in punishing those Cultivators in the lower realm. He was not wrong in doing so, on the contrary, it was our neglect. When the Taoists Ancestor left this universe, he entrusted us to manage the lower realms. After so many years, how much have we really governed? Lin Yun has simply done what we should have been doing.
Not only is he not at fault, but he also deserves merit," the True Martial Saint Lord sighed lightly and said.
He also guessed that the Langya Saint Lord must have some scheme in mind, but in his early years, he and the Langya Saint Lord had both cultivated under the Taoists Ancestor, step by step climbing to the realm of the Sanctuary.
Later, when the Taoists Ancestor departed, only the two of them remained at the realm of the Sanctuary. After thousands of years of camaraderie, their relationship had grown stronger.
He did not wish to fall out with the Langya Saint Lord unless absolutely necessary, especially now that he was about to leave this universe. He did not want to engage in such affairs before his departure.
"Let it go, I can overlook this issue, but, these Immortal Origin realm energies, I wish to give them to my Disciple. I promised him this many years ago and it wouldn't be good to break my word..." the Langya Saint Lord fell silent for a moment, and finally spoke up.
As he spoke, he looked up at the spatial rift behind the True Martial Saint Lord, the mysterious and powerful energy at the center of that new space.
The True Martial Saint Lord frowned slightly and said, "That is not possible. This source energy was promised by the Saintly Mother and me to Lin Yun, as part of him taking the position of the Lord of Immortal Origin.
Furthermore, we had previously agreed that after the new Lord of Immortal Origin ascends, the collected energies from the Immortal Origin World's three millennia would all go to the new Lord."
"..."
Listening to the words of the True Martial Saint Lord, the Saint Lords were all momentarily stunned.
To let Lin Yun take the position of the Lord of Immortal Origin?
If one became the Lord of Immortal Origin, one could cultivate in the powerful and blessed Immortal Origin Holy Land, the highest status within!
Such a position – was Lin Yun really unwilling to take it without the True Martial Saint Lord promising some additional benefit?
If it were them, they would have agreed immediately if the True Martial Saint Lord offered them that position!
"Haha! True Martial! The position of Lord of Immortal Origin is so exalted and influential, yet you still had to promise extra benefits to get Lin Yun to agree? How laughable! To entrust the Immortal Origin World to such a person is even more ludicrous!
Do you believe that someone who is solely profit-driven will truly have the interests of the people of the Immortal Origin World at heart?" Indeed, upon hearing the words of the True Martial Saint Lord, the Langya Saint Lord burst into laughter, his tone laced with scorn.
