Lin Chuan leaned against the gate, studying the list thoughtfully and repeatedly glancing around.
Each time he did, quite a few Outer Sect Disciples stiffened all over.
They all felt as though he were looking right through their clothes.
That gaze seemed to peer straight into their hearts. No one could withstand it easily. Immortal Chang'er Dingguang was no weakling, of course, and wouldn't give himself away so easily.
Naturally, he was relatively calm.
Zhao Gongming stood beside Lin Chuan, watching their surroundings like a hawk. If a conflict broke out, there was no way he would hesitate.
He owed his position, and even the opportunities he'd received, entirely to Senior Brother Lin.
He wouldn't forget that...
As the saying went, one should never forget who dug the well when drinking its water. That was exactly the kind of thing this was!
"Senior Brother Lin, what should we do next?"
Zhao Gongming had already looked over the list, and he knew full well that quite a few Interception Sect disciples were implicated. If they really made a move now, they would certainly be accused of harming their fellow disciples.
Even so, he would do what needed to be done without hesitation.
That showed just how grateful he was to Lin Chuan.
He wasn't afraid of being punished at all.
Lin Chuan waved a hand, showing little concern. He had already weighed things up. Since he'd been sent here as punishment anyway,
what was there to worry about?
"No rush..."
"Now that we have the list, we can settle accounts with them one by one."
"Anyone who passes through here is getting dragged out."
"If you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you!"
"But if they think I'm an easy target, I'll show them exactly what kind of temper I have!"
Lin Chuan spoke with complete composure.
Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Senior Brother Lin to be so unyielding. It was truly beyond what he'd imagined.
After all, this was already a huge risk. If they told their Master, they would probably face an even harsher punishment.
They might even be expelled!
So,
Zhao Gongming had initially been a little worried.
After all, everyone knew Lin Chuan had only just become a Personal Disciple, and now he'd already been punished. If he made another mistake, no one could say what punishment he might receive.
Anyone would have had their doubts!
Yet...
Lin Chuan had never cared.
That really took Zhao Gongming by surprise.
He silently marveled at it.
As expected of Senior Brother Lin. He always did things in such an extraordinary way, utterly unlike anyone else.
There was simply no comparison!
Aside from Zhao Gongming, everyone else had heard him clearly, too. The few people who stood like statues slowly began to show traces of mockery in their eyes.
They truly couldn't move, but that didn't mean they couldn't show their feelings.
They could only move their eyes, though.
It was easy to see why they looked that way. On Golden Ao Island, who wasn't powerful?
They had all cultivated for millions of years and were formidable indeed. How could an unknown nobody like Lin Chuan possibly compare?
No one believed Lin Chuan would really dare to do such a thing.
He'd worked so hard to become a Personal Disciple. Did he really want to throw away that status?
No one could imagine it!
But they didn't think anyone could be that foolish.
"Hmph! What a boast!"
Sure enough,
someone was already displeased.
After all, nobody knew what Zhao Gongming's so-called list actually was.
Those who had targeted Lin Chuan before were especially uneasy now. When you didn't understand what was going on, it was only natural to feel unsettled.
Confused!
Just then, someone suddenly stepped forward.
His voice wasn't especially loud, but the power behind it was unmistakable.
A Grand Unity Golden Immortal!!
Zhao Gongming and many others looked grim.
No one had imagined that someone this powerful had been hiding among them.
This...
Who was this person?
Even now, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was no weak opponent. They could not be underestimated.
And now, someone like that had appeared.
Anyone would have been shocked.
Zhao Gongming was especially wary. If someone like this really made a move, things could get much worse. Even he couldn't tell where events might lead.
What a headache!
As for the crowd around them, they'd erupted into an uproar!
"Oh my god!"
"I can't believe it! A Grand Unity Golden Immortal has gotten involved!"
"This is getting exciting!"
"Oh my god, I really want to know who this Grand Unity Golden Immortal is! Which big shot are they? Though there's no way they'd show themselves so easily. There may be plenty of Grand Unity Golden Immortals,"
"but you don't see powerhouses of this caliber everywhere."
"If they let even the slightest clue slip, someone will definitely figure out who they are!"
"The conflict has escalated all over again!"
Everyone started watching the spectacle.
After all, most of them hadn't intended to get involved. They were just watching from the sidelines,
while the jealous ones wore delighted expressions. With a big shot here, wouldn't Lin Chuan be suppressed on the spot?
This was huge!
Lin Chuan was a little surprised. He truly hadn't expected a Grand Unity Golden Immortal to show up. It was entirely beyond his expectations.
Still, it made sense!
If they didn't have any real strength or a few tricks up their sleeve, why would they dare show themselves?
"Now this is interesting!"
A glint flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes.
No one knew what sort of scheme he was cooking up.
Meanwhile, Sect Master Tongtian had been watching the whole time. He'd been pleased to see a big fish appear, but he didn't care what happened next.
Everything was under control.
If Lin Chuan got a good scolding,
that would be even better. But then he suddenly heard Lin Chuan's thoughts, and he was stunned.
Great, so the big fish really is showing up. If this big fish keeps coming after me, could I just take him out?
I could charge him with harming a fellow senior disciple and defying his superior. No matter who he is, I'm still a Personal Disciple. If I pin all these charges on him...
Heh heh heh... wouldn't that let me act even more recklessly?
This is interesting! Really interesting!
Sect Master Tongtian was stunned.
He'd never expected Lin Chuan to have a thought like that.
He was downright ferocious!
