Chapter 1524: Dominating the Inner Realm, Dealing with Evil Servants
These cold words were like a chilling wind, faintly blowing from behind the crowd, landing in Liu Jinbiao's ears. Liu Jinbiao's pupils suddenly constricted, and his body trembled violently, instantly freezing him in place, his mind momentarily blank.
His body trembled, and he subconsciously turned to look behind him. Upon seeing, he was almost Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, dropping to his knees with a thud, his face pale, and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. This time it was real blood, scared out of him!
No matter how many tricks he had, at this moment, he had no thoughts at all. He trembled, opening his mouth to say something, but under Wang Lin's gaze, his mind roared as if his Physical Body was being torn apart. That gaze, like a sharp sword, pierced directly through his body and entered his Primordial Spirit, as if a single thought could make his Primordial Spirit collapse and his Dao perish.
The terrifying nature of that gaze, imbued with a killing intent, made Liu Jinbiao's scalp tingle, scaring him into becoming mute, unable to utter a single word. He could only kneel there, constantly kowtowing, making thudding sounds, not even caring that his forehead was covered in fresh blood.
Xu Ligou was originally still feeling smug, screaming miserably, but the instant he heard that voice, his entire body shuddered. This voice was familiar to him, very, very familiar; it was precisely the voice of the Evil Star that terrified him to the extreme!
The anger and coldness emanating from the voice almost caused Xu Ligou's spirit body to dissipate, making his mind buzz and his expression turn pale. The sharp swords stuck in his body immediately collapsed, and he truly withered. Turning around, he saw Wang Lin in white robes behind him, his gaze ice-cold.
At this sight, he almost fainted, directly falling to his knees, his eyes showing extreme fear.
"Ma… Master!!!" Xu Ligou was stunned for a long while before immediately letting out a miserable scream. This sound was enough to shock the soul, conveying all his current fear and terror.
"Master, spare my life! Master, please listen to my explanation. This matter isn't what you think it is, this matter…" After all, Xu Ligou had followed Wang Lin for too long. Although he was terrified to the extreme at this moment, he was still much stronger than Liu Jinbiao, able to speak amidst his trembling. As he spoke, he knelt and rushed towards Wang Lin, seemingly wanting to hug Wang Lin's leg and beg.
This sudden change shocked the other Cultivators. The dozen or so fierce-looking Cultivators all turned around, and the moment they saw Wang Lin, his icy gaze seemed to pierce through their bodies. Amidst the roaring in their minds, these dozen Cultivators all spat out fresh blood, each showing horror and fear.
The female Cultivator also turned pale, spat out blood, and retreated several steps, her eyes filled with extreme terror. She didn't know who the other party was, but the pressure emanating from him made her feel as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting. Even her Master, even all the powerful experts she had seen in her life, seemed like ants before this person.
"You… who are you!!" The female Cultivator retreated while trembling, even her words distorted by this indescribable fear and pressure.
Not only her, but almost everyone at this instant felt a trembling sensation as if standing before a storm. That storm connected heaven and earth, containing an extremely terrifying aura that could destroy all living beings. Under that storm, they were so tiny that a mere touch could cause them all to die.
The black-clad young man, Fahua Zi, standing in the distance, had a pale face and blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, but his gaze towards Wang Lin, after a moment of daze, revealed excitement. He seemed to recognize Wang Lin, but was somewhat incredulous.
The madman was the least stressed. Upon seeing Wang Lin, he immediately felt wronged, as if tears were in his eyes. He rushed past everyone, bypassed Xu Ligou, ran to Wang Lin's side, and started crying loudly as he looked at Wang Lin.
"They bullied me!! I clearly didn't do anything, I just asked that little lady what her name was. I really didn't do anything. Xu Ligou told me that doing 'this and that' would be fun, but before I could even do 'this and that,' they came in. I didn't do anything…" The madman grew more and more wronged as he spoke, wailing loudly.
Xu Ligou's heart pounded with fear. Under Wang Lin's indifferent gaze, he dared not approach further. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Lin raised his right hand and pointed at him.
With this one finger, Xu Ligou immediately screamed and spat out large mouthfuls of spirit body Qi, becoming almost transparent. His body was sent flying backward with a bang, crashing into the stone wall behind him. The moment he hit, a Restriction light flashed on the stone wall, causing Xu Ligou to scream again as he was bounced back.
This one finger almost crippled thirty percent of his cultivation, making his spirit body seem on the verge of collapse, faintly showing signs of dispersal. Especially the sharp pain that entered his mind made Xu Ligou scream repeatedly.
This time, he was thoroughly and completely terrified. He had followed Wang Lin for many years and clearly knew the other party's ruthlessness. The title of Evil Star was not given for nothing!
"Master, Master!! I have rendered meritorious service for Master!! I have shed blood for Master!! Master, do you still remember the Old Ancestor of the Giant Demon Race on Vermilion Bird Star? Master, do you still remember…" Xu Ligou screamed, almost frantically recounting everything he had done for Wang Lin.
He worried that if he spoke too late, he might lose the chance to speak at all.
"If not for all of this, that finger just now would not have crippled thirty percent of your cultivation, but rather annihilated your soul!" Wang Lin's eyes were filled with cold light. He had once sworn an oath to treat the madman kindly, but this Xu Ligou actually defied him openly and dared to be so audacious! As his words implied, if not for all those past events, if not for Xu Ligou having followed him for so long, Wang Lin would surely have killed him.
Sweeping his gaze, Wang Lin looked at Liu Jinbiao, who was still kowtowing and trembling, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"It's hard to change one's nature, Liu Jinbiao, you disappoint me greatly! I rendered meritorious service in the Fire Sparrow Clan, and I once promised to let you go. This time, upon my return, I intended to send you away and give you a stroke of good fortune to take care of him on my behalf…" Wang Lin's voice was cold, slowly speaking. That wind-like voice permeated the Immortal Cave, making Liu Jinbiao's body tremble even more violently, and he kowtowed faster, constantly banging his forehead against the ground.
Looking at Liu Jinbiao, Wang Lin pointed his right hand forward. The finger wind whistled, directly landing on Liu Jinbiao's body. Liu Jinbiao's body trembled, he spat out fresh blood, and his entire being was sent flying several feet away.
"Your meritorious service is great, and it remains, but your good fortune is canceled, and you can forget about freedom. Stay by my side as a slave for a thousand years!" Wang Lin's words reached Liu Jinbiao's ears. Liu Jinbiao smiled bitterly, a great sigh of relief in his heart. This punishment was acceptable to him.
"Sealed Venerate!!! You are Sealed Venerate!!!" Just then, the black-clad Cultivator Fahua Zi, with excitement and fanaticism, immediately cried out. He was originally unsure, but after hearing Wang Lin mention Vermilion Bird Star and the Fire Sparrow Clan, he no longer had any doubts. In his excitement, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Wang Lin.
The moment his words spread, the other Cultivators around immediately showed disbelief, and even fanaticism spread across their faces. They all cupped their fists and bowed excitedly.
"Greetings, Sealed Venerate!!"
The female Cultivator, stunned, her eyes filled with reverence, cupped her fists and bowed to Wang Lin just like everyone else. She had immense trust in Fahua Zi's words, and only a Sealed Venerate could possess that terrifying pressure!
Wang Lin's gaze remained unchanged. He glanced at the black-clad youth and slowly spoke.
"You've seen me?"
The youth was extremely excited and quickly stepped forward, respectfully saying, "Junior once lived in Luotian Star Domain for a period. During the first battle of the Cloud Sea, Junior was also among the Luotian Cultivator army and had seen Sealed Venerate from afar. And before that, Junior also received a Jade Slip from the Cloud Sea, so I vaguely knew Sealed Venerate's appearance."
As he spoke, he glanced at the madman behind Wang Lin, his expression showing shame. He wanted to explain something, but ultimately found it hard to speak.
Wang Lin remained silent, coldly sweeping his gaze over the dozen or so people in the Immortal Cave. This glance brought immense pressure to these Cultivators, making them all nod submissively, their faces filled with shame, not daring to speak.
"This matter, let it not happen again!" After a long while, Wang Lin spoke calmly, flicked his large sleeve, wrapped Xu Ligou and Liu Jinbiao, and taking the madman, he stepped forward amidst ripples that echoed in the Immortal Cave, gradually disappearing without a trace.
It wasn't until he left that the dozen or so Cultivators in the Immortal Cave dared to raise their heads. The backs of their clothes were already soaked with cold sweat. They looked at each other, all with lingering fear.
"You unfilial wretch, what a mess you've made! If it weren't for you forcing me to do this, how could we have been looked down upon by Sealed Venerate? You… alas! It's also my fault for being tempted by Xu Ligou and actually doing such a thing, setting up a trap to deceive a madman…" Fahua Zi's expression was extremely ashamed. Looking at the place where Wang Lin disappeared, his heart was filled with regret.
Wang Lin was someone he fanatically revered. He had fantasized more than once in this life about meeting Sealed Venerate, but he never expected that his dream would actually come true, only, it was in such a situation, amidst such an incident… The female Cultivator also looked ashamed, gritting her teeth and saying, "It's all Xu Ligou's fault. This person… if I get another chance to meet him, I will definitely get even with him for this!"
In the Star Domain, Wang Lin slowly walked forward. Liu Jinbiao and Xu Ligou had already been taken into his Storage Space, and Wang Lin had taken most of the golden blood they had obtained.
Behind him, the madman, looking wronged, was still chattering incessantly. This incident had left a very deep impression on him.
"The human heart is treacherous, the human heart is treacherous… And Spirit Stones and silver are very important, very, very important. In the future, if I have Spirit Stones or silver, I must be very careful with my spending, and definitely not waste them… not a single bit… must not waste them…"
Even Wang Lin hadn't expected that these various incidents would cause a slight change in the madman's personality, especially regarding Spirit Stones and silver. Once he possessed them, his level of stinginess was almost infuriating!
Listening to the madman's incessant chatter behind him, Wang Lin's heart naturally calmed down. He looked back at the madman, vaguely feeling that his current appearance, especially his constant babbling, was very similar to someone… someone he had only seen once in the Outer Realm's Primordial Stars, a person who was almost overlooked.
Wang Lin shook his head with a smile, thinking his idea was a bit too absurd, and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he slowly walked in the direction of Vermilion Bird Star.
