At this moment, it wasn't just Hua Haotian. Almost everyone in the crowd was curious about what Linlong would do next. Of course, none of them believed that Linlong had the ability to do so.
The onlookers weren't just disciples of the Purple Sun Sect. There were a few elders and above in the sect.
Li Yiming was among them. He came with Li Muling, Li Dalong, and the others. However, due to some matters on the road, they didn't manage to meet Linlong before Hua Haotian and the others.
Just now, when Hua Haotian made things difficult for Linlong, they weren't far away. However, due to the distance, they couldn't help Linlong at all. They thought that Linlong would be humiliated by Hua Haotian, but nothing happened.
Naturally, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Even Li Yiming felt the same way.
At this moment, Linlong suddenly started mumbling to himself. His voice was very low. Only Hua Haotian, who was closest to him, could hear a little of what he was saying. As for the others, no one else knew what Linlong was talking about.
Even someone like Li Yiming couldn't understand.
What was this guy doing? Hua Haotian was confused. The voice he heard didn't sound like some kind of rune language at all.
Could it be that this guy had gone crazy? He couldn't help but wonder.
However, just as this thought appeared in his mind, the Divine Beast Formation he was in suddenly emitted a powerful energy. What shocked him was that this energy seemed to be directed at him.
In an instant, a powerful pressure acted on his body. Under this kind of pressure, his entire body could not help but tremble, and cold sweat immediately soaked his entire body.
He wasn't the only one. Everyone in the crowd could feel the extremely powerful aura. The aura made them feel suffocated. Even Li Yiming couldn't escape from the pressure.
Some of the weaker ones even knelt on the ground.
What's going on? Everyone was shocked. They didn't understand why Linlong would suddenly emit such a powerful aura after murmuring a few sentences.
"This seems to be the aura of a divine beast!"
Someone suddenly shouted. After that, that person knelt on the ground. Not only that, but he also started worshipping the stone statues in the Divine Beast Formation.
The others immediately came to a realization because in this area, apart from Divine Beasts, who else could have such a powerful might?
In an instant, many people fell to their knees. Some of them couldn't support themselves, while others completely believed the words of that person.
Since the Divine Beast had already displayed its prowess, how could they not kneel?
"Dad, is this really the energy released by the divine beast through the Divine Beast Array?" Li Muling, who was beside Li Yiming, asked in surprise.
"This … I'm not too sure," Li Yiming replied.
Although he felt that there was no one else who could unleash such power here other than a Divine Beast, the problem was that the one who unleashed this power was clearly Linlong.
He couldn't believe it. If it was Xing Bai, he wouldn't doubt it. Even if it was Hua Haotian, the possibility was many times higher than Linlong.
"Roar roar roar …"
At this moment, a series of low roars came from within the Divine Beast Formation. Amidst the roars, the stone statues seemed to come alive.
"This is Lord Divine Beast!"
Hearing such a sound, how could the people at the scene still doubt it? At that moment, those who were still standing all knelt down with a plop.
Li Yiming also knelt down immediately and paid his respects in the direction of the stone statues.
As he knelt down, a trace of surprise flashed across his face. This was because he realized that in an inconspicuous corner in front of him, there was a person dressed in white who was kneeling. It was obviously Sect Leader Xing Bai.
Hua Haotian didn't kneel. Even though he felt that the pressure on his body was getting stronger and stronger, he still gritted his teeth and persevered. Moreover, he didn't believe that the roar was from a Divine Beast.
Because if it was really a Divine Beast, how could it be activated by Linlong?
Even if a Divine Beast appeared now, he definitely wouldn't believe it.
He didn't believe it because no one could do anything to him. However, his body couldn't take it anymore. After a few breaths, he directly knelt down on the ground.
As he had been standing in front of Lin Long just now, it was as if he was kowtowing to Lin Long. He naturally wanted to change his direction, but how could he, who was under such pressure, move at all?
Hua Haotian's expression was extremely ugly. He originally wanted Linlong to kneel, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to kneel in the end.
"Haha, Senior Brother Haotian, I didn't ask you to kneel. Why did you kneel?" At that moment, the seemingly calm Linlong suddenly laughed.
His laughter was like a dagger that stabbed into Hua Haotian's chest. The pitiful thing was that Hua Haotian couldn't even speak.
Hearing Linlong's voice, everyone in the surroundings was extremely shocked. They couldn't understand how Linlong's murmurs could summon a Divine Beast and make it so difficult for him.
Could it be that Linlong did all of this on purpose? Did he want to use the Divine Beast Formation to make Hua Haotian kneel? Such a thought suddenly flashed across their minds.
This was especially so for Xing Bai. This thought was even stronger in his heart. If that wasn't the case, there was no way to explain why Linlong was completely fine under the torture of the Nine Supreme Illusory Formation.
However, Linlong was only a Level 8 Martial Master and a disciple who had just entered the sect. What did he do to make the Divine Beast listen to his commands?
Xing Bai had a hundred questions in his heart, but no matter what, he couldn't hide what was happening in front of him.
At that moment, apart from Linlong, everyone else knelt down and worshiped the stone statues.
Although it was said that they were worshiping the stone statues, it was more like they were worshiping Linlong because Linlong was the only one standing.
"Alright, Senior Brother Haotian, you are the Senior Brother and I am the Junior Brother. How can I make you kneel? You should just stand up … Eh, why aren't you standing up?"
In such a large place, thousands of people knelt down and worshiped. Only Linlong's voice rang out. Although his voice was very soft, it was heard by everyone.
It was because he was the only one there. It would be difficult for them to not hear it.
Hearing such humiliating words, Hua Haotian's heart was dripping blood. He really wanted to stand up and give Linlong a beating, but he simply couldn't move. The powerful pressure was still pressing down on his chest, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
Not only Hua Haotian, even Xing Bai's face was burning when he heard those words. Linlong's words were not only insulting Hua Haotian, they were also insulting him, the head of the sect.
However, how could Xing Bai, who knew that it was the Divine Beast showing its might?
The lion-headed, leopard-bodied beast was the sect head's mount in his previous life! It was the sect protection Divine Beast of the Zi Yang School! The Divine Beast Formation could even defend against experts above the Martial Lord realm! How could he dare to go against it?
So, even though Linlong's words were undisguised humiliation, he didn't even dare to stand up. He only regretted coming to see Linlong make a fool of himself at such a time.
If that wasn't the case, there wouldn't be such an embarrassing scene.
His only thought right now was to not let others know that he was here. Later, once the Divine Beast retracted its might, he would immediately turn around and leave.
"Hmm? It must be because of these stone statues," Linlong suddenly said at that moment. After speaking, he cast his gaze towards the stone statues and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Ah, stone statues. Is there a need for you to make things difficult for Hua Haotian? Just let him stand up."
After he spoke, the crowd felt their bodies lighten. The pressure from before disappeared at the same time.
At that moment, how could there still be any doubt in their hearts?
This Linlong was so powerful that he could make the Divine Beast come and go at his beck and call!
Such a thought flashed through everyone's minds. Not a single one of them didn't have expressions of extreme shock on their faces.
Feeling the pressure on his body disappear, Hua Haotian immediately stood up. However, he didn't expect that due to kneeling for too long, his body hadn't recovered yet. Suddenly standing up made him lose his balance and he almost fell onto the ground.
Seeing everyone's gazes gather on him when he made a fool of himself, his face, which had just returned to normal, immediately burned again.
When had he, Hua Haotian, ever been in such an awkward situation? Today, he was repeatedly humiliated. The anger in Hua Haotian's heart burned fiercely again.
However, at that moment, everyone's gazes suddenly shifted away from him. The reason was simple. Someone suddenly shouted, "Isn't that the Sect Leader?"
The Sect Leader was here as well?
Hearing this, everyone immediately turned their gazes towards the direction of the voice.
They were immediately dumbfounded. Because the person in white who was scrambling to his feet was obviously the Sect Leader, Xing Bai.
However, the Sect Leader was already here. Why didn't he stand up and say anything? After all, the responsibility of communicating with the Divine Beast was on him.
But now, he allowed a regular disciple to order the Divine Beast around.
At that moment, the person who suddenly spoke up immediately regretted it. If the person kneeling behind him was the Sect Leader, he wouldn't have said something like that even if you beat him to death.
Because as soon as he spoke, he understood that he had completely offended the Sect Leader.
He could only regret it. Why did he subconsciously say that after seeing the person behind him who looked like the Sect Leader?
Naturally, Xing Bai could feel the gazes behind him. However, at this moment, he couldn't turn back. After all, there was no turning back. If he didn't crawl up and walk back, it would be fine. But he had already walked back. If he turned back, then he would lose all his face.
Therefore, even though Xing Bai knew that everyone's gazes were on him, he still quickened his steps and walked forward.
If someone stood in front of him, they would definitely see that his old face was completely red.
