Revealing His Strength
Lin Ming wasn't particularly moved by Lu Man's words. He didn't believe in such oaths at all; otherwise, he would have seen those who made oaths so easily in his previous life end up like this.
Lin Ming wasn't particularly moved by Lu Man's oath, but the others were quite different. Judging from Lu Man's age, she was at most one generation younger or older than Lin Ming and the others. Reaching the Dou Emperor realm at that age meant she had a very high chance of advancing to the Tier One Dou Ancestor Realm.
For someone like Lu Man to swear that if the Little Girl beside Lin Ming were to be accepted into the Heavenly Snake Mansion, she would never be allowed to be bullied, or else he would be willing to destroy all his cultivation, almost everyone present believed that after Qing Lin was accepted into the Heavenly Snake Mansion, Lu Man would definitely do everything in his power to protect Qing Lin.
Although Lin Ming didn't have much trust in oaths, what Lu Man said was true. The best place for Qing Lin to grow was indeed within the Heavenly Snake Mansion. Therefore, Lin Ming largely agreed with Lu Man Barbarian's words and did not refute them.
Seeing that Lin Ming seemed to agree with her, Lu Man immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, since Lin Ming agreed, things would be much easier from there.
"Lord Lu Man Barbarian, I don't deny what you said, but whether Qing Lin goes to the Heavenly Snake Mansion or not is not up to me or you. It's up to Qing Lin to decide." Looking at Lu Man's expression, Lin Ming thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Brother Lin Ming, Qing Lin won't leave you, Qing Lin won't go." As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, Qing Lin immediately tightened her grip on Lin Ming's hand and said anxiously.
"Okay, fine! If Qing Lin doesn't want to go, then she doesn't have to." Hearing Qing Lin's urgent words and feeling the force in Qing Lin hand, Lin Ming Qing Lin her with a smile after she finished speaking.
Hearing Lin Ming and Qing Lin's words, Lu Man naturally felt anxious. However, as Dou Emperor Lu Man, Lü Man knew that if she got anxious at this time, her chances of getting along with Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils would become even slimmer.
"Lord Lu Man, you heard what Qing Lin said. She doesn't want to go with you, so let's leave it at that!" After comforting Qing Lin, Lin Ming looked at Lu Man again and said.
After Lin Ming finished speaking, Lu Man naturally wouldn't leave so easily. So Lu Man immediately said, "Young Master Lin, how about this? Let me talk to Qing Lin alone. After we talk, whatever decision Qing Lin makes, we will follow Qing Lin's opinion."
Hearing Lu Man's words, Lin Ming pondered for a moment. To be honest, Lu Man was, after all, a Dou Emperor Expert, already at the ceiling of combat strength here. Moreover, in the sky above, there was also an Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor with Dou Emperor combat strength.
Although Elder Hai and Jia Xingtian are still present, who knows what trouble Jia Xingtian might cause? After all, Qing Lin has already made the Dou Emperor Expert of the Heavenly Snake Mansion willing to swear an oath to destroy all his cultivation to bring her back, which is enough to show that Qing Lin has higher potential than this Dou Emperor, which is why this Dou Emperor was able to do such a thing.
If a fight really breaks out, no one can predict Jia Xingtian's thoughts. Since ancient Royal Family, there has been no kinship within the Royal Family; for the sake of stability, even brothers can be killed, let alone friends. Therefore, it's not certain that Jia Xingtian will side with the Mittel Family in the end.
Now, after pondering for a moment in response to Lu Man's words, Lin Ming nodded in agreement. After all, Lu Man was also a Dou Emperor Expert, and since she had spoken to Qing Lin in public, he would respect Qing Lin's choice. If she went back on her word, Lin Ming would at least be on the side of reason.
Although Lin Ming nodded, Lin Ming didn't mean to let Lu Man take Qing Lin away for a talk. Otherwise, if Lu Man kidnapped Qing Lin, it would be a troublesome matter. So, after that, Lin Ming looked at Lu Man Barbarian and said, "Lord Lu Man, as a Dou Emperor Expert, I respect your request to speak with Qing Lin. However, since you are Dou Emperor Expert, you should have the demeanor of a Dou Huang powerhouse. I don't want you to use any underhanded tactics or threaten Qing Lin during your conversation. If Qing Lin is harmed in any way, I, Lin Ming, will absolutely seek justice for Qing Lin. Even if it means going to war with your Dou Emperor Expert Heavenly Snake Mansion, I, Lin Ming, will not hesitate!"
"Heavenly Flames! Dou Wang!" Lu Man exclaimed in shock as he watched the young man, who spoke with a firm tone, have Turbid Yellow Flame rising from his body and exude the aura of Dou Wang.
When Lin Ming said those words, Lu Man was actually quite disdainful. She thought that Lin Ming was probably just a little talented, and then he was spoiled by his family and the teachers of the Jia Nan Academy, so much so that he didn't know the sky was the limit. He thought that he could surpass everything because he had never had any pressure to advance since he was a child. She thought that in the future, a power like the Heavenly Snake Mansion would just be a small power in front of him.
Lu Man Barbarian had also possessed such ambitions when Lin Ming was his age. However, as her cultivation level increased, Lu Man realized how difficult it was to advance further, and how difficult it was to Advance to Dou Ancestor. Therefore, although Lu Man did not outwardly show any Lin Ming or ignorance towards Lin Ming when faced with his words, she secretly harbored such sentiments within herself.
However, when Lin Ming revealed his cultivation level and saw the Turbid Yellow Flame rising from his body, Lu Man Barbarian's contempt vanished, replaced by a look of shock.
Lin Ming is only in his early twenties at most. Thinking back to when I was that age, my cultivation level had only recently reached the Da Dou Shi, but Lin Ming has already reached the Dou Wang level.
Of course, compared to this, the flames rising from Lin Ming's body were even more astonishing.
Since Lu Man from the Heavenly Snake Mansion, a top power in the Northwest Continent, he is certainly not an ordinary person unaware of the continent's powers. He is also familiar with the major powers in the Middle Continent. If Alchemist like Lu Man Lin Ming, who possesses Heavenly Flames, were to go to the Middle Continent, the Pill Tower, the highest holy land for Alchemist outside the continent, would definitely do its best to invite Lin Ming to join.
Green Barbarian was quite aware of the potential of an alchemist possessing a different kind of fire. Therefore, if Lin Ming really wanted to be an enemy of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion after joining the Pill Tower, then even if Green Barbarian was a member of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, it could only be said that the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was more likely to be in grave danger.
