The few of them were puzzled when they heard Lin Li's nonsensical words, but Lin Li had already stood up, and casually created a spatial rift in front of him. He then stepped into it calmly, and his figure immediately disappeared.
"How strong is Felic now!?" Sendros couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene. Although Lin Li seemed to have done it effortlessly, Sendros' understanding of the power of the Sanctuary-realm told him that it was definitely not something that an ordinary Sanctuary powerhouse could do.
Englos, who was at the side, smacked his lips in envy, and shook his head with a smile. "This kid is leaving us further and further behind. I reckon we won't be able to befriend him the next time we see him."
The two princes, Johnathan and Jeremiah, were even more dumbfounded as the scene was beyond their comprehension. Although they were all powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm, that was also the reason that they had a deeper understanding of the power of this world. The scene of breaking through space with one's own power was simply like a miracle to them. It was something that they dared not even think about.
At this moment, the Legendary powerhouses of the Breezy Plains had already fallen into a crisis above Helena Port. Faced with the terrifying power of High Priest Poer, they had no chance of resisting at all. The countless magic runes that emerged in the space converged into a magic chain that wrapped around the bodies of the people of the Breezy Plains. Once they were bound by the magic chain, they would immediately lose all their power, be it magic or Combat Energy.
Damn it, a bunch of country bumpkins. This is the power of a real Sanctuary powerhouse. Let's see how arrogant you can be! Delano followed closely behind his father, and looked at the shocked faces of the people of the Breezy Plains with a smirk on his face. He had already begun to think about how he would teach them a lesson after taking them down to regain his dignity.
Of course, the people of the Breezy Plains were just some small fries. Delano's greatest hope was to see his father take down the guy named Lin Li from the Tower of Dusk.
What's so great about being a Sanctuary powerhouse? He's only in his twenties, yet he managed to step into the Sanctuary realm. How can he be compared to a true Sanctuary powerhouse like his father? In Delano's opinion, even if Lin Li was also in the Sanctuary-realm, his father would definitely be able to take him down easily.
However, at this moment, the entire space suddenly trembled violently, causing Delano to almost fall from the sky. Immediately afterwards, they saw that the magic chains that were binding the people of the Breezy Plains were pushed away by an invisible force, and began to dissipate quickly like snow that had fallen into flames.
On the other hand, High Priest Poer, who was casting the spell, humphed softly, and suddenly retracted his hand before retreating far away with Delano. The magic runes that were constantly flashing in the space also seemed to have been greatly frightened, and as soon as they appeared, they immediately disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the space returned to its original state.
At this moment, the crowd finally discovered that a young figure had somehow appeared between the people of the Breezy Plains and High Priest Poer.
"President Felic, you're here!" After seeing the figure that appeared out of thin air, the people of the Breezy Plains couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and joy.
"I'm sorry to have startled you," Lin Li said with a smile as he looked at the people behind him.
Seeing that Lin Li had appeared in time, the people of the Breezy Plains finally heaved a sigh of relief. Many of them had participated in the battle on Cage Island, and naturally knew how terrifying the young Sanctuary powerhouse was. Although High Priest Poer had put a lot of pressure on them just now, they firmly believed that as long as Lin Li was around, the balance of victory would once again be on their side.
Through the words of the people of the Breezy Plains, High Priest Poer also found out the identity of Lin Li, but the shock in his heart did not subside at all. Instead, it caused a huge wave of shock.
At this moment, High Priest Poer simply could not believe his eyes because the person in front of him was too young. He's a Sanctuary powerhouse in his early twenties. Since when has this world become so crazy? Even Geresco probably didn't have such insane talent back then!
Besides, what made High Priest Poer even more shocked was the strength that Lin Li had displayed. Breaking into the Domain World of a Sanctuary powerhouse at will was not something that an ordinary Sanctuary powerhouse could do. Ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses would be asking for trouble if they were to barge into their opponent's Domain World, even if they were of a higher level and strength.
However, the young Sanctuary powerhouse had not only barged into his Domain World, but also forced him to shrink his Domain World as soon as he attacked. If High Priest Poer hadn't experienced it himself, he probably wouldn't have believed such a thing even if he was beaten to death.
Looking at Lin Li's youthful appearance, which should have made him feel disdainful, High Priest Poer couldn't hide the fear in his eyes. Although he had only come into contact with Lin Li for a while, he already had a plan in mind. If he were to really fight with Lin Li, he might suffer a huge loss.
"Father, it's this guy. The ship that harbored the fugitive belongs to him, and he was the one who summoned that monster!" Delano wasn't even a Legendary powerhouse, so he naturally couldn't tell that the two Sanctuary powerhouses had already emerged victorious in that instant of contact. He simply pointed at Lin Li and complained to his father, hoping that his father would teach Lin Li a lesson for him.
"Are you President Felic of the Tower of Dusk?" High Priest Poer asked calmly while hiding the fear in his eyes.
Lin Li reached out and put Lord Devourer Garl back into the Summoning Lamp. He then raised his eyes to look at High Priest Poer without a trace of anger on his face. He calmly said, "Not bad, it seems that your son has already introduced me to you. In that case, I won't introduce myself."
Lin Li did not ask about High Priest Poer's identity. He could already confirm High Priest Poer's identity just by looking at the priest's robe that he was wearing and the similarity between High Priest Poer and Delano. Of course, if it was a normal interaction, Lin Li would still ask about High Priest Poer's identity out of respect even if he had already guessed his identity. However, they were now enemies, and Lin Li only wanted The Star and the sailors on the ship to be fine. He didn't care who High Priest Poer was.
After exchanging a few words with High Priest Poer, Lin Li ignored him, and instead turned to look at the people of the Breezy Plains. "Okay, go and see how The Star is doing. Throw all the people who aren't on the ship into the sea."
"Yes, President Felic, don't worry." The Legendary powerhouses of the Breezy Plains immediately responded respectfully before flying towards The Star that was detained in a corner of the port.
Seeing that Lin Li actually ignored his existence, High Priest Poer's face couldn't help but become even more sullen. He coldly said, "President Felic, don't you think you should give the Gilded Kingdom an explanation for what happened here!?"
"Why? Didn't your son tell you everything?" Lin Li asked nonchalantly as he turned around. The contact just now had given him a considerable understanding of High Priest Poer's strength. Although High Priest Poer was also a true Sanctuary powerhouse, his strength was not enough to make Lin Li feel fearful.
In fact, with Lin Li's current strength in the high-level Sanctuary-realm, there were only a handful of people in the entire Anril who could really be his opponent. Besides, Lin Li also had the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, and could summon the Sky Castle at any time. Such power was enough to make him fearless of any threats.
As for his relationship with the Gilded Kingdom, although Lin Li did not like war, it did not mean that he had to suffer for the sake of so-called peace. Hence, even if he really fell out with the Gilded Kingdom because of this matter, Lin Li wouldn't feel the slightest bit of pity.
However, in High Priest Poer's ears, Lin Li's words seemed extremely arrogant, and he was simply treating the Gilded Kingdom and himself as nothing. High Priest Poer had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm for many years, and his reputation in the Gilded Kingdom was not inferior to King Bradlor's. No one had ever dared to speak to him like that.
High Priest Poer was so infuriated that he laughed instead. He looked at Lin Li coldly, and said, "President Felic, as a guest of the Gilded Kingdom, I believe we have shown enough sincerity in receiving you. However, that doesn't mean that you can ignore the laws of our kingdom. You harbored a fugitive on your ship, and now you've caused so many casualties to our fleet. Do you want to officially start a war with our kingdom!? "
High Priest Poer was well aware that he might not be Lin Li's match if they really got into a fight. Hence, he took out the weapon of war in a bid to make Lin Li bow down under the threat of war. Besides, he was not only saying those words to Lin Li, but also to the representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains. His purpose was to use the threat of war to isolate Lin Li from the Breezy Plains.
After all, the other forces of the Breezy Plains had all gained considerable benefits from the cooperation with the Gilded Kingdom. If a war were to break out between the Gilded Kingdom and the Breezy Plains, the forces of the Breezy Plains would definitely lose those benefits. Besides, at the same time, the forces of the Breezy Plains might also lose more in the war. He believed that anyone would make a wise choice at this juncture.
"If you want to go to war, so be it. What's the big deal? Since the Gilded Kingdom is not sincere, we don't have to give you any face." After taking back The Star, Claus and the other leaders came to Lin Li's side again. On one hand, they wanted to tell him about the situation on The Star, and on the other hand, they wanted to express their determination to stand with the Tower of Dusk. Hence, after hearing High Priest Poer's words, Claus and the others took the initiative to express their choice before Lin Li could speak.
High Priest Poer immediately felt like he had been greatly insulted by a mere Legendary-level powerhouse who dared to talk to him. He humphed coldly, and was about to teach those insignificant ants who were overestimating themselves.
However, at this moment, another figure flew over from afar, and yelled anxiously, "Don't do anything, Poer, President Felic, please calm down!"
The person who came was none other than Forcus' teacher, Elder Zumar, who had worked together with Lin Li to seal the dragon corpse on Cage Island. Clearly, Elder Zumar had already received a report from his disciple, Forcus. Hence, he hurried over without caring about his image. However, as soon as he entered the sky above the port, Elder Zumar's heart couldn't help but twitch when he saw the scene in the port. On one hand, it was because of the huge loss of the fleet, and on the other hand, he was worried about his relationship with the Tower of Dusk.
Initially, Elder Zumar did not plan to show up when he saw High Priest Poer. After all, High Priest Poer was not a member of the Illuminati, and instead represented the royal family of the Gilded Kingdom. In his opinion, High Priest Poer would try his best to appease the young president of the Tower of Dusk even if it was out of consideration for the interests of the kingdom.
However, to Elder Zumar's surprise, the two sides were clamoring for a war before they even had a chance to talk. This time, he did not dare to stand by and watch. Hence, he immediately showed up, and yelled for both sides to restrain themselves and calm down.
The appearance of Elder Zumar eased the atmosphere a little. After all, even if he were to put aside his identity as an elder of the Illuminati, he was still a genuine high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, and even High Priest Poer had to show respect to him.
"Elder Zumar, you came at the right time. These outsiders are really too much. Not only did they ignore the laws of our kingdom and harbor wanted criminals, they even flew into a rage out of humiliation and almost destroyed our fleet after our people captured the wanted criminals!" High Priest Poer knew that his strength was not enough to do anything to the young Sanctuary powerhouse, and he would only be asking for trouble if he really got into a fight. Hence, as soon as he saw Elder Zumar appear, he immediately found a way out of the situation, and complained to Elder Zumar indignantly.
"Do you think we're harboring a wanted criminal just because you say so? We took a boat all the way here, and there were no strangers on the boat at all. Who knows when the wanted criminal was stuffed into the boat!" Klaus and the others immediately said with dissatisfaction. In fact, they did not want to really go to war with the Gilded Kingdom. Who wouldn't want peace if they could?
In fact, Elder Zumar had already heard the gist of the matter from his disciple, Forcus, but it was really hard to come to a conclusion at the moment. Hence, he hurriedly waved his hands to both sides, and gestured for everyone to calm down for the time being. He then said, "I believe that we will definitely find out the truth as long as we investigate it. There must be a misunderstanding here. That wanted criminal might have sneaked onto The Star himself. President Felic, you're too impulsive! "
