Chapter 1962: Lights Dim – A Woman Named Song Zhi!!
Wang Lin's expression was calm, his white hair fluttering as he sighed softly and took a step forward. For the first time, he felt that he might not be suited for the Ancient Clan.
"From this small incident today, one can see a lot about the Ancient Clan's imperial power…" Wang Lin stayed here not only to obtain the map Jade Slip, but also to observe the true extent of the Ancient Clan's imperial might he had heard about.
Now he saw it. A mere prince, not even the Imperial Ancient Emperor, could make an entire city kneel, and his simple act of not kneeling caused everyone's shock.
The Golden Armored Man, who had been polite moments before, instantly revealed murderous intent and anger, as if his failure to kneel was an act of great rebellion!
And this prince, merely because of the refusal to kneel, spoke words threatening to take his life, and judging by his expression, killing a clansman was as casual as breathing.
Such a display could only manifest when imperial power reached a supreme level. Most importantly, all those who knelt, in Wang Lin's observation, showed genuine reverence and fanaticism from the bottom of their hearts, as if they would obey even if the prince commanded them to commit suicide immediately.
"The Original Ancient Clan is like this, so the dao ancient clan must be the same… Perhaps, I truly am not suited for this place…" In silence, Wang Lin stepped forward. The moment he took his Third Step, the gigantic claw of the Ancient Demon in front of him whistled closer. Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding crowd, they saw the Ancient Demon's claw suddenly overlap with Wang Lin's figure!
It looked as if Wang Lin had been caught!
When this scene was witnessed by the crowd, whether it was the Golden Armored Man, the Demon Saint Kong Si, or the black-clothed youth, along with everyone kneeling on the ground, and even the leather-armored individual who had given Wang Lin the Jade Slip earlier, all of them showed indifferent expressions.
Their indifference seemed to condense into an unspoken phrase.
"Those who disrespect imperial power are but dead bones…" Wang Lin's voice echoed through the heavens and earth. The Ancient Demon's claw, which overlapped with his figure, seemed transparent as Wang Lin calmly walked through it.
Or perhaps Wang Lin became transparent; the demon claw grabbed empty air, clenching in a roar, and Wang Lin had already walked away, heading towards the Ancient Demon of the dao ancient Emissary Group.
The Ancient Demon's grab missed, and the madness in its crimson eyes intensified. With a roar, it raised its right hand and clawed at Wang Lin's retreating figure, but the prince on its head froze, staring at Wang Lin with a rare look of solemnity.
Not just him, but all the kneeling people around were stunned. In their eyes, Wang Lin, who should have died earlier, had inexplicably walked out.
The Golden Armored Man's pupils constricted. He was also a Nine-Star Ancient God, and he knew he could never achieve this. Only a Demon Saint's body might be capable of such strangeness.
But Kong Si's mind was now in turmoil. The moment Wang Lin walked out, he didn't sense any Demonic Power being released, but the more this was the case, the more it indicated something extraordinary!
"He… who is he!"
The most shocked was the black-clothed youth. As a Demon Saint, he had previously underestimated Wang Lin. Now, seeing the other party's composure, he immediately took a deep breath, and Battle Intent flared in his eyes!
And the seven individuals on the Ancient Demon's head, they came from the Dao Ancient Lineage, sent by imperial decree to select concubines. Regarding Wang Lin's earlier refusal to kneel, they had initially watched with a playful attitude. However, Wang Lin's emergence made their expressions solemn, but they didn't take it to heart, as they believed it was an internal matter of the Original Ancient Lineage, and no matter what, it had nothing to do with them.
However, when they saw Wang Lin walking towards them, they were greatly puzzled.
Wang Lin's steps were not fast. The Ancient Demon's claw behind him retracted. With a roar, the Ancient Demon clawed again, causing Wang Lin to frown slightly. He stopped his steps, and at the moment the Ancient Demon's claw arrived, he turned to look into the Ancient Demon's eyes.
"Seeking death?"
The three words left his mouth without the rumble of thunder or a change in the heavens and earth, but the Ancient Demon, whose eyes had been filled with madness, trembled violently. Its frantic eyes instantly cleared at this moment, turning into overwhelming terror, as if Wang Lin's gaze alone was enough to make it collapse, to make it feel the shroud of death.
The Ancient Demon's roar abruptly stopped, replaced by a shrill scream. It retreated rapidly, kneeling on one knee on the ground, its massive body repeatedly prostrating before Wang Lin.
This scene caused everyone around to gasp, their expressions filled with fear and shock. The Battle Intent in the black-clothed youth's eyes immediately disintegrated upon seeing this, and he trembled, breaking out in a cold sweat.
The Golden Armored Man shivered even more, recalling how he had just spoken of annihilating the other party. He never imagined that a single glance from this person could instill such terror in this Great Ancient Demon.
And the prince on the Ancient Demon's head and the woman beside him, both flew into the air, watching this scene dumbfounded. Especially the prince, he knew very well the strength of his Great Ancient Demon, which could even contend with a Celestial Venerable of the Immortal Clan!
But now, this powerful Great Ancient Demon was terrified to such an extent. All of this indicated that the strength of this person who refused to kneel was extremely terrifying!
"You… you…" Prince Jidu's face was pale.
Wang Lin ignored the crowd, turned and withdrew his gaze from the Ancient Demon, and walked towards the Ancient Demon, with all eyes fixed on him.
This Ancient Demon's eyes had originally been crimson, exuding brutality and madness, but now, it seemed to whimper, its entire body trembling, prostrating on the ground, showing submission, not daring to move.
The seven people on its head were even more aghast. They watched Wang Lin approach step by step. Except for one elder, the other six immediately retreated, unleashing their respective Ancient Clan powers.
Among these seven, four had astonishingly reached Nine Stars, like becoming Saints, and two others had even attained a certain level in the stages of Comprehension, Fusion, and Refinement.
The strongest was the elder who did not retreat as Wang Lin approached. This elder's expression was extremely solemn. With a low roar, nine star points immediately appeared on his forehead and in each of his eyes!
A total of twenty-seven stars! These twenty-seven stars emitted a faint light, and as they rotated, three gigantic phantoms immediately appeared behind the elder: an Ancient God, an Ancient Demon, and an Ancient Devil!
These three phantoms stood between heaven and earth, glaring at the approaching Wang Lin.
"Whatever matters exist between Your Excellency and the Original Ancient Clan, they have nothing to do with my Dao Ancient Lineage!" The elder lamented inwardly. He truly couldn't understand why the other party was walking towards them.
"Those three, Liang Yun, have cultivation equivalent to the empty profound stage of the Immortal Clan, though their specific level may vary due to Bloodline. As for this elder, his God, Demon, and Devil are one, possessing twenty-seven stars, and his cultivation is comparable to the Empty Tribulation Realm of the Immortal Clan.
My twenty-seven stars in the Immortal Cave Realm were not quite at Perfection, only slowly reaching it during these few hundred years in the Immortal Clan. But with my Ancient Clan body, the power I can exert far surpasses his.
This is perhaps due to the Bloodline. Ye Mo's cultivation is clearly higher than Seven-Colored's, which is why Seven-Colored sought Li Guang's help. And Li Guang's cultivation, according to what I learned on the way to Ancestral City, should be at the Celestial Venerable level, with a low possibility of being a Transcendent Celestial Venerable, otherwise, he wouldn't have died.
Considering this, Ye Mo very likely also possesses strength equivalent to a Celestial Venerable. His twenty-seven stars are fully integrated, and he has passed all tribulations. This means that Ancient Clan Cultivators of this level are comparable to Celestial Venerables. Such Ancient Clan members should be similar in number to the Immortal Clan, not exceeding a thousand.
Wang Lin stepped onto the prostrate Ancient Demon's arm, leaped up, and stood on the Ancient Demon's head. The moment he looked at the elder, the elder's expression changed, sweat beaded on his forehead, unable to bear the pressure from Wang Lin's gaze, he instinctively retreated a few steps.
If he was like this, let alone the six people behind him, who all retreated, their faces pale.
"You all, are you from the Dao Ancient Imperial City?" Wang Lin's expression was calm as he slowly spoke. A Grandmaster-like Aura emanated from him, intangible and enveloping, making the elder's mouth dry and his heart pound faster. He felt as if he was facing the dao ancient Emperor, but the dao ancient Emperor's presence stemmed from millennia of imperial Legacy.
The person before him exuded his own personal prestige!
"Yes… I was bestowed the name Ye Hai by the dao ancient Emperor. In these past few hundred years, this is my sixth visit to the Original Ancient Nation to select concubines for the Emperor." The elder took a deep breath, no longer attempting to resist the other party's pressure, but instead showed respect.
"Hundreds of years, selecting concubines?" Wang Lin, hearing this again, still found it quite surprising.
The elder smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Quite interesting. Have you made your selections yet?" Wang Lin asked casually.
"This time, Prince Jidu is hosting. We have visited six prefectures and selected three women. We are preparing to take the last woman from Black Rock City before returning to the Dao Ancient Imperial City." The elder quickly replied, not daring to conceal anything. As he spoke, he raised his right hand and clapped the Ancient Demon beneath him from a distance.
The Ancient Demon's body trembled, and ripples immediately spread across its head, from which two incredibly beautiful women emerged. Their eyes filled with apprehension, they bowed to Wang Lin.
"These two are the ones chosen this time," the elder respectfully said.
"Since you are from the dao ancient Nation, give me a map to the Dao Ancient Imperial City," Wang Lin said calmly, after sweeping his gaze over the two women and retracting it.
The elder was startled, hesitated for a moment, then took out a Jade Slip and respectfully handed it to Wang Lin.
Receiving the Jade Slip, Wang Lin looked at it, then turned and stepped down from the Ancient Demon's head. With his business concluded here, he prepared to leave. As for the prince, Wang Lin hadn't even given him a second glance.
"Senior, please wait!" The prince quickly spoke, his body swaying as he appeared before Wang Lin, bowing deeply with a very sincere expression.
"Junior Jidu offended Senior greatly earlier. Please don't take it to heart, and give Junior a chance to compensate you."
"Oh? How will you compensate me?" Wang Lin said with a faint smile.
Seeing Wang Lin speak, the prince immediately brightened and quickly cupped his fists.
"Please wait a moment, Senior. After Junior sees off the dao ancient Emissary Group, I will surely satisfy Senior." After Wang Lin nodded, the prince immediately conveyed a message to the Golden Armored Man below.
"Please invite Miss Song Zhi out to accompany the dao ancient Emissary Group."
As Liang Yun acknowledged, not long after, a woman dressed in green walked out from the city gate. This woman's appearance was not absolutely stunning, but she exuded a pure and fresh Aura. As she slowly walked out, she raised her head, and it was at this moment that Wang Lin's gaze fell upon her.
Their gazes seemed to meet in mid-air, converging.
It's December! Er Gen himself was very satisfied with the plot in November, but for this December, Er Gen is confident that everyone will be even more satisfied!
