Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2429 - 2429 Tension



2429 Tension

“Little bookworm of Heaven and Earth Academy, let me tell you some common knowledge.”

Fairy Nan Yang chuckled. “Notwithstanding the fact that Desolate Martial has just entered the Perfected One realm, throughout history, even among the previous Supreme Perfected Fiends, there has never been anyone who dared to come to the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and behave atrociously!”

At the side, City Lord Gu Xiu suddenly spoke and said coldly, “Unless Desolate Martial has a death wish!”

Right then, a deep voice sounded from outside the hall.

“If Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain is willing to come to Langfeng City for the sake of a Dao child that served him, he must be quite an upright man!”

When she heard that voice, Lin Luo’s heart skipped a beat and she was excited. However, there was a mixture of joy and worry on her face.

Everyone looked over and saw a tall and burly man walking over in huge strides. His long hair danced and he exuded a heroic aura with every step he took.

This should be Lin Luo’s brother, Lin Lei.

Su Zimo muttered internally.

Sizzle!

The man dragged a pitch-black and heavy halberd in his hands. The sharp tip of the halberd streaked across the ground and sparks flew with an ear-piercing sound!

As the man dragged his halberd over with a domineering aura, many Perfected Immortal experts in the hall were stunned by his aura and froze on the spot for a moment.

Only Song Xuan and the other four City Lords had calm expressions. In fact, there was even a hint of smugness and excitement in their eyes.

“Brother!”

Lin Luo shouted and wanted to advance. However, she was suddenly frozen on the spot by the might of a few powerful spirit consciousnesses and could not move.

“Lin Lei, you’re too late. We’ve been waiting for a long time!”

Hong Shan burst into laughter.

Young Master Lan Tian waved his jade fan gently and said with a smile, “Brother Lin, you sure seem even more exuberant than when we last met at the previous Nine Firmament Meet.”

“What are you guys doing?”

Sensing the actions of Song Xuan and the others, Lin Lei’s gaze froze and his expression darkened as he asked slowly.

Song Xuan chuckled. “Lin Lei, I invited you to the Blood Peach Banquet out of goodwill. Yet, you barged in with the Black Mystic Battle Halberd with an intimidating stance. I was just about to ask you what you’re trying to do.”

“I’m here to take my sister home!”

Lin Lei’s tone was resolute and firm like metal clashing!

As Lin Luo said that, she shifted her gaze, indicating for Lin Lei to save Su Zimo as well.

Lin Lei glanced at Su Zimo from the corner of his eye and frowned.

He did not even know if he could save Lin Luo this time round, let alone add another person.

The siblings were telepathic. As though she could read Lin Lei’s hesitation, Lin Luo said hurriedly, “H-He came from the lower worlds as well and saved me.”

Lin Lei remained silent and did not comment. However, he thought otherwise.

When he swept his gaze earlier on, he could tell that the cultivator called Su Zimo was only a Grade 5 Heaven Immortal.

Given Lin Luo’s capabilities, why would she need a Grade 5 Heaven Immortal to save her when she had the Nine Palace Subtle Steps?

Lin Lei was certain that Lin Luo was lying.

However, she was so nervous about this person that she even lied to cover things up—what was her relationship with this person?

Could it be…

A thought flashed through Lin Lei’s mind as he looked at Su Zimo with scrutiny and even resistance.

This person looked extremely weak and his physique and bloodline should be relatively underwhelming. His cultivation realm was not high and he looked ordinary overall.

In his opinion, this person was naturally far from worthy of his sister.

Furthermore, Lin Lei had just heard Su Zimo threatening Song Xuan and the others that Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain would come and that a calamity was imminent.

Although this action might be out of justice, it was way too childish.

Why would Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain attack Langfeng City of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain for the sake of a Dao child?

Even if Desolate Martial was here, how could he pose any threat to the Perfected Immortals in the hall, let alone bring about a calamity?

This lad’s cultivation realm was not high and he was not capable. Yet, he was nerdy, reckless and childish.

Lin Lei had a bad first impression of Su Zimo.

When he saw how worried Lin Luo was about defending this lad, Lin Lei’s impression of Su Zimo decreased further.

“There’s no hurry to go home.”

Fairy Nan Yang smiled. “The blood peaches are ready and we were waiting for you to arrive before we officially begin. It won’t be too late to head back after the Blood Peach Banquet.”

At the banquet, many Perfected Immortals had already begun to taste the blood peaches.

“What Blood Peach Banquet? I’m not interested.”

Lin Lei replied coldly and glared at Song Xuan with an unfriendly expression. “Let my sister go!”

“Why?”

Song Xuan’s expression darkened as he narrowed his eyes slightly. His tone turned cold as well. “As the City Lord of Langfeng City, I’m inviting you to a banquet along with many Perfected Immortal experts of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain. Yet, you don’t intend to stay, Brother Lin?”

“Lin Lei, you sure are arrogant. Do you really think that the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain can’t do anything to you?!”

Gu Xiu hollered coldly and smashed the jade plate in his hands onto the ground, causing it to shatter!

Many Perfected Immortal experts at the banquet stood up one after another and released powerful auras. They placed their palms on their storage bags and glared at Lin Lei with unfriendly gazes.

Instantly, tension engulfed the hall!

An unimaginable pressure descended on Lin Lei!

Lin Lei’s expression was unchanged but he gripped the Black Mystic Battle Halberd even tighter.

The current situation was even more dangerous than he had imagined!

If it was against Song Xuan alone, he would naturally be fearless.

However, with the five City Lords gathered here, he would definitely not be a match for them if they joined forces.

Furthermore, there were thousands of Perfected Immortal experts. He could not withstand the immense pressure and could only take a step back temporarily.

Lin Lei took a deep breath of air. “I can take part in the Blood Peach Banquet, but you guys have to let go of Lin Luo and let her come to my side.”

“That won’t do.”

Song Xuan laughed. “Brother Lin, if you renege on your words at the last minute and take out a treasure like a teleportation jade talisman to leave with Sister Lin Luo, we won’t be able to stop you.”

Lin Lei was secretly frustrated.

Initially, he had intended to tear the teleportation jade talisman and return to the Green Firmament Immortal Domain with Lin Luo so that he would not get entangled with Song Xuan and the others.

However, Song Xuan and the others seemed to have read his mind and did not give him the chance at all!

Lin Lei asked in a deep voice, “When will the Blood Peach Banquet end?”

“That’s hard to say.”

Song Xuan smiled. “That depends on you, Brother Lin.”

“What do you mean?”

Lin Lei asked with a frown.

Song Xuan said leisurely, “I heard that the Battle King is severely injured and Immortal Queen Ling Long is guarding him. Right now, the Battle Kingdom is troubled both internally and externally and is in a precarious situation. I’m extremely worried as well.”

“I have a suggestion that can help the Battle Kingdom tide through the crisis.”

Lin Lei merely looked at Song Xuan in silence.

Song Xuan continued, “I have a younger brother who’s still young and is already a Grade 4 Heaven Immortal. He can be considered as a paragon. I saw that your sister is around the same age as my brother and their cultivation realms are similar. Why don’t we let them become Dao companions? It’s a match made in heaven.”

“The Battle King and Immortal Queen Ling Long are too busy to leave their posts. However, elder brothers are like fathers. Brother Lin, as long as you agree to let your sister become Dao companions with my brother, you can naturally leave with her after the marriage.”

“Amazing!”

Hong Shan clapped and smiled. “The two of them can be considered as a golden couple. They are a perfect match and are of equal status. With such a marriage alliance, the Battle Kingdom will be able to obtain the absolute support of Brother Song as well.”
