"My tongue is dry."
Lin Ray didn't know about the Shi Clan that the old man was talking about, nor did he want to know. He only knew that what he had to do now was to kill the old man in front of him.
In order to prevent the other party's forces from causing trouble for him in the future, even if they did, he had to kill the old man now.
The Chaos Dragon Spear in his hand didn't stop. Lin Ray pushed the Martial God Stratagem to the extreme, causing the spatial layers to overlap even faster than before.
After the old man lost his shield, he didn't have many divine weapons with him. There were even fewer divine weapons that he could use. After witnessing Lin Ray's means, he didn't want to take them out to use.
"Open!"
The spiritual energy in his body kept surging as he waved his sword. He didn't dare to stop. If he stopped attacking at this level, he would be killed in the end.
In the imperial palace of the Xuanyuan Empire, a young man in armor knelt on one knee in front of a middle-aged man in a dragon robe. His expression was extremely respectful. His forehead was covered in cold sweat and he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"You said … the Balance Tavern in the imperial capital was destroyed and two Saint-level experts are fighting?" The man asked.
Zhong Hongying, this middle-aged man, was also the Emperor of the entire Qing Xuan Empire. He was supposed to be resting, but when he heard the news of the Balance Tavern being attacked, his sleepiness disappeared instantly.
He was very clear about the force behind the Balance Tavern. The Shi Clan was an expert in the universe region. There were countless Saint-level experts in the clan. Moreover, the Clan Master's cultivation was comparable to the Ninth Heaven's Qiankun Sect Master, Duan Weishang.
As for the Balance Tavern, because the Shi Clan was behind the Balance Tavern, it had branches in the Eight Group Regions, Nine Heavens, and Ten Earths. No one dared to offend it.
As an empire in the lowest level of the Holy World, the Yellow Region, it was naturally not easy to go against them. They didn't even dare to have a verbal conflict.
Not to mention that someone dared to come knocking on their door and destroy it.
"Your Majesty, this … the person who attacked seems to be the owner of the newly opened Nine Heavens Shop, Lin Ray."
"During this period of time, the Nine Heavens Shop has been doing very well. The four major guilds are very satisfied with the things in the shop."
"Also … I heard that the son of the Million Treasure Sect's Sect Master, Liu Chengfeng, has been visiting the Nine Heavens shop frequently. It seems like he wants to befriend the Nine Heavens shop."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhong Hongying looked at the young man below with an extremely gloomy expression.
Balance Tavern was destroyed under his jurisdiction. Now that Stone Clan asked about it, their bloodline naturally wouldn't be able to escape responsibility. They might even be wiped out because of this matter.
However, he couldn't make up his mind about the newly opened Nine Heavens Shop. He had seen the items they were selling before, and there was nothing to say about their quality. Moreover, they were all of very high quality. Not to mention the entire Yellow Region, even the Stone Clan wouldn't dare to say that they could refine such high quality items.
It was also because of this that he was so hesitant, and did not directly go to Lin Ray and kill him.
Who knew if Lin Ray had any power behind him, and if his power was as big as the Stone Clan?
He did not want the entire Zhong Corporation to be implicated because of him.
He couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Your Majesty, how do you think we should deal with this matter? According to the information we received, the Saint-level cultivator guarding the Balance Tavern might … might not be a match for Lin Ray."
"What?"
"This … Are you sure?"
Zhong Hongying was shocked. What the hell was going on? It was a battle between two Saint-level cultivators, and according to the letter, both of them were early-stage Saint-level cultivators. But now …
"I'm sure."
Looking at Zhong Hongying, the young man nodded and continued, "I'm very sure."
"Your Majesty, do you think we should intervene? If the old man dies and the Stone Clan comes to ask us about it, how should we deal with it?"
"Our empire also has Saint-level cultivators. If the Stone Clan gets hold of this weakness, then …" The young man didn't continue. He believed that even if he didn't say it, Zhong Hongying, as the ruler of a country, should understand.
"I …"
Indeed, they were in a dilemma. If they intervened, and Lin Ray turned against them, the empire would be in danger. If they didn't intervene, and the Stone Clan attacked, the empire would still be destroyed. It was a difficult choice.
"Your Majesty, you should make a prompt decision. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be changes!" The young man pleaded.
Looking at the young man, Zhong Hongying had a headache. It wasn't that she didn't want to choose, but she didn't know how to choose.
Time passed little by little while Zhong Hongying was deep in thought. As the ruler of a country, she had to weigh the pros and cons. That was all she could do.
…
In the sky above the Balance Tavern, the old man was still holding on bitterly. Cold sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and the Saint Spiritual Qi in his body kept flowing out. He was about to run out of energy.
However, the situation in front of him didn't change at all. He was still suppressed without any power to resist.
Staring at the mocking expression on Lin Ray's face, the old man's rage soared up to the heavens. Because of a single sentence, the Balance Tavern was destroyed and he was in a precarious situation. As a businessman, such a transaction wasn't worth it at all.
"Miss Xian`er, I didn't expect your father to be so powerful. Two experts on the same level as him are actually able to suppress him effortlessly."
Staring at the stalemate between Lin Ray and the old man, Long Aotian walked to the side of Xian`er as he spoke in a low voice, his eyes filled with admiration and worship.
"Which sect are you from? I sincerely wish to pay a visit to your sect and take you as my master."
"I don't know …"
"Damn, this brat still hasn't given up?" Staring at the shameless smile on Long Aotian's face, Wu Ding helplessly shook his head.
However, he was extremely interested in Long Aotian's question, especially regarding which sect Lin Ray belonged to.
According to what he knew, there wasn't a single sect in the Eight Regions, Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that had the name 'Lin Ray'. Based on the information system of the Formation Association, if there was, how could he not know?
"Hmph, just give up!" Lin Fan rolled his eyes at Long Aotian before turning his gaze back to the sky.
"Do you think you can find out about our sect just because you want to?"
"With your talent, why did you come to our sect? To do odd jobs? "
His eyes were filled with concern as he stared at Lin Ray. However, when he spoke to Long Aotian, he didn't give any face at all.
"In our sect, the disciples who do odd jobs are all at the Divine Monarch Realm. Even God Emperors can only be considered disciples. Only Divinities can be considered inner disciples. As for Saints, heh …"
"There should be Saints among the core disciples."
"I … you, you aren't joking right?!" Lin Xian`er's words caused the hearts of the two old men to clench as their expressions were filled with disbelief.
Are you kidding me?!
If Saints are only core disciples, then what are the cultivation levels of the elders in your sect?
What about the sect leader?
Lin Xian`er didn't know about the shock in their hearts. If the two of them knew that Lin Xian`er's earlier words were a joke, it was unknown how they would feel.
However, the two of them truly believed her now. Before this, they initially thought that Lin Ray had no cultivation base. But now, as soon as an expert made a move, they could tell whether or not he was.
Saints, no matter which sect they were placed in, were all existences at the level of elders.
