A Counterattack
In the skies, a large number of figures floated about. These were the top pillars of the Black-White Dao Palace. The one in the lead wore a black and white robe. His thin face was covered with cold eyes as he stared down at the youth below, a trace of surprise in his eyes.
Lin Ling hadn't died!
He was naturally Lord Mountain Mist!
Beside him were the Elders of the Black-White Dao Palace. They also had looks of surprise on their faces.
"Lord Mountain Mist is here. Lin Ling is dead for sure!"
Many disciples of the Crossing Adversity Gorge sneered. As for Li Ling Xian and the He brothers, their faces were extremely solemn. Lin Ling was very strong, but compared to someone on Lord Mountain Mist's level, he was still much weaker!
"Lin Ling didn't die. That's great!"
"Yes, his talent isn't weak. In the Black-White Dao Palace, there are very few people who can surpass him!"
Several Elders immediately began to laugh. In the past, during the trip to the Magnetite Mountain Villa, Lin Ling had been praised by the disciple of the Seven Emperors, Gendōsa.
"Elders, don't forget that he is no longer on the recommendation list. Moreover, he has looked down on the Seven Emperors. He has committed a heinous crime!"
But at this time, Lord Mountain Mist's voice rang out, causing the Elders' eyes to narrow. They didn't say anything. Before, they had been happy that Lin Ling hadn't died, but they had forgotten that Lin Ling had indeed committed a heinous crime by not recommending the Human Emperors.
"Recommending the Seven Emperors is a glorious matter, but someone dares to look down on the Seven Emperors and frame our Black-White Dao Palace. Such a person still dares to return!"
"I can't help but admire Lin Ling's courage. In my opinion, Lin Ling should be immediately killed!"
"That's right!"
The elders who were close to Lord Shan Wu shouted coldly at that moment. This caused the entire Du 'e Gorge to be filled with angry shouts, disdain, and cold laughter. It was as if all the disciples wanted to suppress Lin Ling!
"Elders, do you all think so? This happens to coincide with my thoughts. Although Lin Ling was recommended in the past, no one can save him for looking down on the Seven Emperors. Since that's the case, let's execute him on the spot! "
Lord Shan Wu sneered in his heart. He had finally caught Lin Ling's weakness. How could Lin Ling not die this time?
Moreover, not only was Lin Ling going to die, even Lady Shui Wu would be executed today!
"I agree!"
"Although this child has done meritorious deeds in the past, he is lawless. Today, he has committed an even greater crime!"
Many Elders spoke out. Of course, some Elders objected in their hearts, but at this moment, they had no right to speak. The current Black-White Dao Palace was under Lord Mountain Mist's control!
At this moment, Lin Ling didn't seem to know that his death was imminent. Instead, he looked indifferently at Lord Mountain Mist. Lord Mountain Mist met Lin Ling's gaze. He sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he sighed and said, "Lin Ling, your future should have been limitless. Unfortunately, you were too arrogant. You even dared to look down on the Seven Emperors. I can't help you now. In order to appease everyone and give the Seven Emperors a reply, you must die!"
He sighed as if he felt pity for Lin Ling. Even he couldn't bear for a genius of a generation to fall here!
Of course, those familiar with this scene knew that this sigh was just on the surface!
Lin Ling still didn't speak. His expression was calm!
"Capture Lin Ling and kill him along with Lady Shui Wu!"
Lord Mountain Mist's murderous voice finally exploded!
"Hold it!"
But at this moment, Lin Ling finally spoke, causing the murderous Crossing Gorge to calm down. Everyone looked at Lin Ling. What did Lin Ling want to say now? Was he going to beg for mercy?
"You said that my absence on the day of the Human Emperor's recommendation was the same as looking down on the Seven Emperors, causing me to lose the recommendation spot. So you want to kill me. Is that so?" Lin Ling's calm voice floated out, causing many to narrow their eyes. Wasn't that the reason? It had to be known that the Seven Emperors were the legends of Xuanpeng Province. Thus, all the major powers had to respect them. Looking down on the Seven Emperors, wasn't that enough death?
"That's right. If you were still a recommendation spot, the Black-White Dao Palace wouldn't have touched you. In fact, your status would only be below mine. But you looked down on the Seven Emperors, so you've already lost your recommendation spot. You are nothing now!" Lord Mountain Mist said indifferently.
"Then I'd like to ask, did the Seven Emperors tell you that I've lost my recommendation spot, or did someone from the Seven Emperors personally say that I've lost my recommendation spot?"
Lin Ling asked curiously, as if he didn't know anything. But this question left Lord Mountain Mist speechless. This was because how powerful were the Seven Emperors? How could they personally say that Lin Ling's recommendation spot had been taken away from him?
To the Seven Emperors, Lin Ling was nothing more than an ant. Lin Ling didn't have the qualifications for the Seven Emperors to speak up for him!
"It seems that none of the Seven Emperors have said anything. Then how are you so sure that I've lost my recommendation spot? And how are you so sure that the Seven Emperors think that I've looked down on them, so they've vented their anger on me? "Lin Ling asked again.
The Du 'e Gorge was silent. No one could answer this question!
Half a year ago, the eight recommendation spots had been gathered. They had been checked one by one by the Seven Emperors. In the end, they were determined to have the qualifications to become the disciples of the Human Emperors, but they needed to undergo a final assessment. Lin Ling was absent. This was clearly looking down on the Seven Emperors. Anyone with a brain could guess this. However, this was still a guess. The Seven Emperors' people didn't actually say that Lin Ling had done anything wrong!
This was like theft. Everyone knew who the thief was, and the outcome was obvious. But the thief didn't say anything, so what crime did the thief have? What qualifications did the others have to say anything!
This time, everyone's hearts were stirred. They couldn't refute it, they couldn't refute it!
"Lord Mountain Mist, you said that I've looked down on the Seven Emperors, so you want to kill me. But now, the Seven Emperors haven't said anything. Do you think you're one of the Seven Emperors? Lord Mountain Mist, you've got guts. The Seven Emperors of the World is one of the three legends of the Human World. They represent the strongest martial artists of the Human World. And you, a mere Palace Lord, think you're one of the Seven Emperors. You think you have the qualifications to rule over everything! "
Lin Ling took a step forward. His previously silent aura quietly changed. At this moment, he was showing his edge!
"You!"
Lord Mountain Mist's face instantly turned ugly. He didn't expect Lin Ling to be so sharp. He bit back at him at the crucial moment!
"Then tell me, why are you so sure that I've lost the recommendation spot? And why are you so sure that I've looked down on the Seven Emperors? But I admit that I've looked down on you. Do you think you're one of the Seven Emperors? If I look down on you, it's the same as looking down on the Seven Emperors? "
Lin Ling wasn't afraid at all. He took another step forward. Like a sword, like thunder, he questioned Lord Mountain Mist!
The entire Du 'e Mountain was silent. They couldn't refute it. They couldn't represent the Seven Emperors, and they didn't have the qualifications. Even if they knew that Lin Ling had indeed looked down on the Seven Emperors, if the Seven Emperors' people didn't say anything, then they had even less right to say anything!
