Chapter 1829: Immortal Astral tenth sun, Head! (Third Update)
The moment this voice, cold as a winter wind, appeared in this world, it stirred up a great wave!
Yan Luan's eyes narrowed, revealing a look of pleasant surprise. Compared to Lü Wenran, she herself did not know why, but she actually hoped that Wang Lin would be the one to possess this Soul Armor!
The Elder surnamed Zhou's expression changed drastically, and his eyes revealed fear.
Xu Dongde's eyes revealed a strange look as he gazed at Wang Lin, wondering what he was thinking. As for the other three Cultivators of the Empty Tribulation Realm, their eyes all flashed as they began to pay attention.
And those more than one thousand Cultivators below were all stunned. Clearly, they had not expected such a turn of events—that someone would disagree with Lü Wenran's decision the moment the Soul Armor appeared!
One must know that although Lü Wenran was injured, his cultivation remained. How could an ordinary Cultivator challenge such a cultivation level!
The moment Wang Lin's words were spoken, his body flickered, and using the Shrinking the Ground into an Inch he had long prepared, he instantly appeared in front of the Soul Armor, blocking Lü Wenran's path!
"Wang Lin!!!" Lü Wenran's eyes revealed a crazed killing intent. He also had not expected that Wang Lin was actually in this underground palace. When he had fled back from the surface earlier, he had already seen Wang Lin and had intentionally sealed the ground immediately after entering, intending to use someone else's hand to kill him!
But seeing now that Wang Lin was not dead and had come forward to destroy the object he craved, he no longer concealed his killing intent toward Wang Lin in the slightest!
"You dare to block me? You are courting death!!" Lü Wenran strode directly toward Wang Lin, and as he raised his right hand, his Middle Stage Empty Tribulation Realm cultivation erupted explosively!
"In front of everyone, you dare to hurt me? I am an Elder of the Great Soul Gate, appointed by Old Ancestor Qing Niu to guard this place. You dare to commit infighting and hurt me??
Are you not afraid of the Great Soul Gate's pursuit, are you not afraid of Old Ancestor Qing Niu's rage, and are you not afraid of having no place to stand in this Tianniu Continent because you slaughtered a fellow Sect member during the war!!" Wang Lin did not dodge in the slightest, but instead, with a resonant voice, let out a loud shout!
Amidst his shout, the more than one thousand Cultivators below finally remembered that the Great Soul Gate Elders who had come here were not just Lü Wenran, Yan Luan, and Xu Dongde, but also a fourth person!
Lü Wenran's expression changed, and his body paused subconsciously.
Wang Lin seized the opportunity and leaned back, but the moment he touched the Soul Armor, there was not the slightest sign of Fusion. This change made Wang Lin's eyes narrow.
Lü Wenran stared at Wang Lin, his eyes revealing not only killing intent but also mockery!
"The Soul Armor has not yet undergone the final step; you cannot perform Fusion!"
"It doesn't matter if I cannot perform Fusion, but I do not agree with you performing it!" Wang Lin's expression was calm as he stared at Lü Wenran and spoke slowly.
Ever since he had entered this underground palace, he had always kept a low profile, to the point that many people had forgotten he was also an Elder of the Great Soul Gate. But at this moment, he was no longer keeping a low profile; instead, he became arrogant.
His words and actions immediately attracted the gazes of the more than one thousand Cultivators below, who all looked on in shock. Many of them did not understand how, with Wang Lin's cultivation, he dared to oppose Lü Wenran.
But the sharpness of his words surpassed any Magic Treasure, making Lü Wenran afraid to make a move!
As Wang Lin said, if he, Lü Wenran, were to attack today in front of everyone, unless he could kill everyone here, then once any accident occurred, the Great Soul Gate would absolutely not tolerate him!
And even if everyone here were to die, such a monumental event would surely be divined by the Old Ancestor. Once the answer was divined, he would likewise be hunted down by the Great Soul Gate!
Once that time came, there would be no place for him in the entire Tianniu Continent. Thinking of this, he would break out in a cold sweat; how could he dare to strike again?
"So it is Elder Wang. When you suddenly appeared earlier, I thought a spy had snuck in to snatch the Soul Armor, which is why I attacked… Now that I recognize Elder Wang, the previous incident was naturally a misunderstanding." Lü Wenran stared at Wang Lin and spoke slowly.
"It is fine. Since Elder Lü admits his mistake, I naturally will not mind. However, Elder Lü, I do not agree with you possessing this Soul Armor." Wang Lin said slowly.
Lü Wenran's single arm, hidden within his sleeve, clenched into a fist tightly, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Oh? I wonder who you think would be best to possess it? Is it yourself?" Lü Wenran did not ask for the reason, but instead changed his tone, countering Wang Lin from another angle.
"If Elder Wang, you have taken a liking to the Soul Armor yourself and wish to possess it, then I can understand your previous actions. For personal gain, disregarding the lives of the more than one thousand Cultivators here—Elder Wang, I have underestimated you.
However, even if you do not agree, even if you want to possess it yourself, you must ask everyone if you have the qualifications!" Lü Wenran had deep cultivation and extraordinary intelligence. With a few words, he completely neutralized the Aura Wang Lin had just projected and his own loss of composure, and even turned the tables.
"I believe Elder Wang has the qualifications!" Just as Lü Wenran's words fell, Yan Luan suddenly spoke. Her voice was gentle, yet it resounded mightily throughout the underground palace, causing everyone's hearts to tremble!
As she spoke, Yan Luan smiled slightly at Wang Lin.
"Elder Yan Luan, you must be responsible for your words!" Lü Wenran's pupils contracted as he stared at Yan Luan, his expression turning cold.
"No need for Elder Lü to remind me; I, Yan Luan, naturally know." Yan Luan looked at Lü Wenran and said leisurely.
"I, Xu, also believe that Elder Wang has this qualification!" Xu Dongde, who was to the side, suddenly said.
Once his words were spoken, the more than one thousand Cultivators below immediately broke into an uproar. One must know that the words of an Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator were already very weighty, but now, with two Empty Tribulation Great Venerables agreeing at the same time, this was sufficient to prove the point.
And most importantly, they were both Elders of the Great Soul Gate!
"Good, good!!" The coldness in Lü Wenran's eyes grew thicker. His gaze swept over Xu Dongde, and his heart was already angry to a certain degree.
"What about you three? Do you also think that someone with Elder Wang's cultivation has the qualification to obtain the Soul Armor? Do you also want to entrust the lives of the more than one thousand Fellow Daoists below to a Cultivator with such cultivation!!" Lü Wenran stared at the three Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivators from nearby Sects and said through gritted teeth.
The three remained silent. They did not want to offend Lü Wenran, but likewise, they did not want to offend Yan Luan and Xu Dongde. After all, these people were all Elders of the Great Soul Gate.
As for Wang Lin, the three did not value him too highly.
The silence of these three Great Venerables made Lü Wenran sneer. His gaze swept over the more than one thousand Cultivators below, and wherever his gaze passed, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to utter a word at this time.
"Since everyone else is silent, and Elder Yan Luan and Elder Xu Dongde believe that I have this qualification, what do you think, Elder Lü?" Wang Lin's expression had been calm from beginning to end, and he spoke slowly at this moment.
Lü Wenran stared at Wang Lin, and after a long while, he suddenly laughed. The anger in his heart dissipated in an instant, and he returned to calmness.
"Elder Wang indeed has the qualifications. Then, for the moment, it is a choice between you and me. I am very curious to know, what is your reason for not agreeing to me obtaining this Soul Armor!"
"In this war, your contribution is insufficient!" Wang Lin said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Lü Wenran immediately laughed.
"My contribution is insufficient? I led you all in two counterattacks; I led you all to flee back to the underground palace. In the first battle, I held back the opponent's Middle Stage Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator; in the second battle, I did the same!
If not for me, there would absolutely not be more than one thousand Cultivators left here; I fear they would have long since been slaughtered to the last person!
My contribution is insufficient?? Then, Elder Wang, I must ask, what contribution do you have!"
Wang Lin did not hesitate. As he raised his right hand and flipped it, the head of Liu Zhiyuan immediately materialized and appeared on Wang Lin's palm, held up by him with one hand.
"He is an Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator from the Green Devil Continent. You should have seen him. I killed him!"
Once these words were spoken and this head appeared, the underground palace suddenly became quiet. But very quickly, a monstrous wave was stirred up. One must know that the matter of the death of the Green Devil Continent's Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator was known to all the Tianniu Continent Cultivators here, and there had been countless speculations among them as to who had killed the opponent's Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator!
But this question had never had an answer. Yet now, in this instant, when they saw that head, and upon hearing those four plain words from Wang Lin, "I killed him," their minds all roared, and their expressions revealed shock and disbelief.
"It's him!!!"
"It was actually him who killed the opponent's Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator!!"
"This… How is this possible? His cultivation is clearly not at the empty profound stage, yet he can actually kill an Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator!!"
"To kill an Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator in such a short time, this… This person must have hidden his cultivation; he is definitely not as he appears!!"
"He is also an Elder of the Great Soul Gate; how could he be weak? The Great Soul Gate sending him here must also have been part of a thorough plan; it is absolutely impossible that it was as simple as sending someone here to die!"
"This person is very low-key; he does not compete with others for residential palaces, but instead chooses an Immortal Cave like us. Such a person, if he obtains the Soul Armor, is acceptable!"
Aside from those Cultivators below, the moment Yan Luan saw the head, although she had already had some guesses, she still took a deep breath, and her gaze toward Wang Lin became vastly different.
"It really is him!!"
And beside her, Xu Dongde's pupils also contracted, and his heart was stirred by a great wave.
As for the three Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivators from nearby Sects, they were even more shocked, their expressions revealing disbelief as they all suddenly looked at Wang Lin.
The Elder surnamed Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he stood there dumbfounded, his mind suddenly flashing back to the door of the other person's Immortal Cave that he had destroyed and had not yet repaired.
Waves of discussion rose and fell, falling into Lü Wenran's ears one by one, causing his calm expression to fluctuate. He stared fixedly at the head on Wang Lin's right hand, which still bore the lingering unwillingness and fear from before death, and his heart trembled.
He knew clearly that if this matter continued to spread like this, then the other party's contribution would indeed be on par with his own. This was something he absolutely would not allow.
"Elder Wang is joking. I personally witnessed a Senior with unfathomable cultivation strike at that time, kill this person, discard the body to the side, and turn away. I did not expect you to actually cut off this person's head and bring it here to impersonate."
