Lin Chuan's every move was already under the watchful eyes of many disciples, and now that he had arrived at the gates of Golden Ao Island, he immediately drew an even larger crowd of onlookers.

After all, he was a Personal Disciple!

Furthermore, his previous incidents had each been more eye-catching than the last, having stirred up quite a significant commotion not long ago.

Now that the man himself had appeared...

How could this not attract a multitude of spectators?

"Finally decided to come out? I thought he would stay inside Jade Purity Palace forever."

"Heh..."

"Who knows what kind of dog shit luck he stumbled upon to become a Personal Disciple. He was nothing but a nobody before this."

"What incredible luck. If we had that kind of luck, we would have long since become Inner Sect Disciples—no, wait... who knows, we might have even become Personal Disciples ourselves."

The moment Lin Chuan appeared, a chorus of snide and sarcastic remarks rang out. However, the speakers all kept their figures hidden, not daring to reveal themselves easily.

They had even altered their voices and auras.

They were simply afraid of retaliation later on.

But it didn't take much thought to know that these were definitely people consumed by extreme jealousy.

Otherwise, who would dare to be so brazen?

Those with upright characters would have long since sought out other places to cultivate; they would never involve themselves in such matters, and they would only attribute their own lack of progress to insufficient strength rather than dismissing others as merely lucky.

On the contrary...

Most people felt a deep sense of imbalance in their hearts.

After all, he had originally been nothing more than an Outer Sect Disciple, a nameless nobody, who had inexplicably become a Personal Disciple, instantly rising to a status that was now beyond their reach.

No matter who it was, there would be a sense of imbalance in their hearts.

Perhaps after witnessing the contest between Lin Chuan and Zhao Gongming, the majority had gradually come to accept him.

However...

Whenever something happened, it was still enough to stir up negative emotions in many.

Coupled with the instigation of those with ulterior motives, it had ultimately resulted in the scene unfolding at this very moment.

It caused quite a stir.

Lin Chuan taking Zhao Gongming into Jade Purity Palace without authorization was essentially the fuse.

Even though the matter had gradually been suppressed by this time, it still caused quite a stir.

There were quite a few people paying attention.

Consequently, Zhao Gongming also suffered the resentment of many. After all, Zhao Gongming had originally been nothing more than an Outer Sect Disciple, even if he had made significant contributions.

But an Outer Sect Disciple was, in the end, on the same level as them; his status was not particularly noble. Yet now, he had not only become an Inner Sect Disciple.

He had even entered Jade Purity Palace to cultivate.

This made many people green with envy.

Therefore, many people started calling Zhao Gongming a lackey of Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan naturally sensed the prying eyes of many, but at this moment, he did not pay them too much mind.

He knew clearly that there was absolutely no way to ferret those fellows out right now, unless he possessed powerful strength that could instantly reveal their identities.

That would be a different story!

Lin Chuan ignored those gazes; after all, his strength was not yet powerful enough to drag everyone out.

However, he had already instructed Zhao Gongming to go and root those fellows out.

Heh! Let you all be smug for a while. Once I get my hands on that list, I won't care what you're thinking—I'm going to beat you all up.

Lin Chuan was quite confident in his own strength.

What's more...

He still had quite a bit of cultivation he hadn't utilized. If it weren't for the fear of causing too much of a commotion, he would have definitely used it long ago. Even at this very moment, he was only at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.

But his strength...

Was not to be underestimated!

Lin Chuan had easily subdued Zhao Gongming; one could tell his strength from that alone!

Even without increasing it, his strength was not weak.

As numerous gazes converged upon him.

Disregarding the eyes of those around him, Lin Chuan immediately floated into the void. Finally, one could see white cloud after white cloud slowly beginning to gather, directly forming a bed.

A bed floating in the sky.

And he... had actually fallen asleep!

Fallen asleep!!

At this moment, one could clearly feel the gazes of those around them suddenly freeze!

It was as if they had been struck by a heavy blow!

They were even struggling to catch their breath.

Guarding the gate?

Is guarding the gate better than sleeping?

That old geezer Tongtian actually wants me to guard the gate for him. He's dreaming.

I'm not going to do it. Let's see what you can actually do to me. If you have the guts, just fire me. I'd be more than happy!

Lin Chuan felt a hint of smugness in his heart, completely devoid of the mindset of someone facing punishment.

At this moment.

Sect Master Tongtian was speechless.

Although he had already anticipated this, seeing this brat slacking off and goofing around again made his anger flare up; he wanted nothing more than to give him a good beating.

But, he was a Heavenly Dao Sage, after all.

He naturally didn't need to take action for such trivial matters.

"You brat, let's see how long you can hold out. You've already provoked the public anger. If I don't step in, you can just wait to be hunted down by the others."

"I'll let you suffer a bit first, otherwise, you'll be completely lawless!"

Sect Master Tongtian decided that if any more trouble arose, he would absolutely not intervene, let alone step in to help.

He would let Lin Chuan suffer a bit first.

However...

He never expected that once he had this thought, it would bring him such immense trouble in the future.

Meanwhile.

Zhao Gongming was beaming with joy, as he was just leaving the company of Niangniang Yunxiao and the others. After all, his three younger sisters possessed equally astonishing talent.

They held an extraordinary status on Golden Ao Island.

As for him, if it weren't for his terrible luck, he would never have ended up in such a poor state. Because he had become an Inner Sect Disciple, his three sisters were happy for him.

At the same time, Lin Chuan's assistance to Zhao Gongming immediately earned him the approval of Niangniang Yunxiao and the others.

That was why they helped collect the list of those people.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming held that very list in his hand, and quite a few names were already inscribed upon it.

These were all the people who had been stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

Among them was Chang'er Dingguang Immortal...

There were even many more names already on the list—it could be called a death list. Although Zhao Gongming did not know why Senior Brother Lin wanted the names of these people, he was certain that a reckoning would inevitably follow.

Zhao Gongming arrived at the main gate.

He was stunned on the spot.

Although he had spent some time with Lin Chuan and generally understood what kind of person Senior Brother Lin was...

Was this really how such a significant punishment was being handled?

He was instantly dumbfounded, even feeling a hint of shock; his entire perception had been completely reshaped!
