Who dares to touch my grandson? The old Martial God personally arrives!

"Your disciples made the first move, a sneak attack at the front."

"Since you dared to go for the kill, you should have the awareness to be killed in return."

"If your skills are inferior, you can't blame others."

Facing this scene of universal condemnation.

Lin Jianguo slowly picked up the teacup in front of him and took a gentle sip.

Then, he raised his eyelids and spoke slowly in a tone so flat it was almost indifferent.

"Well said, 'skills are inferior'! Well said, 'life and death are fated'! The Lin family is unreasonable! Today, I will seek justice for my son!"

Old Master Zhao's eyes were about to split open.

How could such an answer bring him peace?

Boom!

Immediately, the aura around him erupted, and he was actually preparing to make a move directly!

The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became tense!

Seeing this, Liu Qingtian and Chen Tianhao exchanged glances, and a cold smile of a conspiracy succeeding curled up at the corners of their mouths.

They were just worrying about not finding a reason to cause trouble, and here it was, delivered to their doorstep.

At this critical moment!

An ancient, yet immensely majestic voice, like Nine Heavens Thunder, boomed in everyone's ears!

"Silence!"

Boom--!!!

An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended from the sky!

The entire Observation Tower trembled violently!

Everyone who was shouting, preparing to act, or watching the fun, at this instant, felt as if they were being crushed in place by an invisible mountain!

Even breathing became incredibly difficult!

Everyone present, including Lin Jianguo, showed expressions of horror on their faces!

They suddenly looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw that at the highest point of the Observation Tower, at some unknown time, a figure had already appeared.

He was an old man wearing a simple Tang suit, his beard and hair completely white, but his posture was still as upright as a pine tree.

He simply stood there quietly, his hands behind his back.

Yet, he seemed to be the center of this world!

"It... it is..."

Liu Qingtian's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a pinprick, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"The... Old War God! Lin Zhan!"

Lin Zhan!

These two words were like a forbidden magic.

When they were uttered by Liu Qingtian with a tremor.

The entire Observation Tower fell into complete silence!

On everyone's faces, the same word was written – shock!

In Yan Jing City, and even throughout the entire Dragon Summer Country, who didn't know, who didn't know the great name of the Old War God Lin Zhan?

Fifty years ago, he was the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle who, by himself, fought three Beast Emperors and forcefully blocked that world-ending Beast Tide outside Yan Jing City!

He was the Country Suppressing Divine Tablet of the Dragon Summer Country, and one of the most powerful Martial Gods on the entire Blue Star!

He was a true, living legend!

But...

Wasn't he always stationed at the Northern Territory Defense Line, resisting the invasion of the Foreign Race?

How could he appear here without any warning?!

The color had completely drained from Liu Qingtian and Chen Tianhao's faces.

Their previous arrogance and schemes seemed so ridiculous and childish under Lin Zhan's calm gaze.

Even Lin Jianguo was shocked and confused.

He strode quickly to the top of the tower and bowed respectfully to Lin Zhan.

"Father, you... why are you back?"

Lin Zhan did not answer him.

His eyes, which seemed cloudy but were actually as sharp as an eagle's, merely swept lightly over the family heads below who had been clamoring just moments ago.

"Hunting will have casualties."

His voice, though not loud, clearly reached everyone's ears.

"If you can't even bear this small Price, then don't send your own children here to embarrass yourselves."

"My grandson, he can sleep when he wants to sleep, and kill when he wants to kill."

"Who has an opinion?"

As his voice fell.

An even more terrifying aura erupted with a roar!

Thump! Thump!

The Li Family Head and the others, who were just arrogantly aggressive moments ago, their legs went weak under this oppressive might, and they uncontrollably knelt on the ground!

Cold sweat poured from their bodies like paste, their teeth chattered, and they didn't even dare to lift their heads!

Opinion?

Who the hell dared to have an opinion?!

Reasoning with a Martial God? That's like an old man with a long life hanging himself, tired of living?!

Seeing this, Lin Zhan was satisfied and withdrew his aura.

He no longer paid attention to these Ants, and merely turned his gaze back to the light screen.

His sight swept past his grandson, who was leisurely walking towards Black Wind Valley, and finally landed on a region deep within the Wilderness, shrouded in dense black mist.

As if he could see through all illusions, and see the darkness lurking in the deepest part...

Although no one knew the reason for Lin Zhan's sudden arrival.

His appearance itself represented an attitude.

The Lin Family is not to be provoked!

Lin Yuan is even less to be provoked!

On the other side.

The Wilderness Hunt had already entered its white-hot stage.

As the activity area continued to shrink, encounters between prodigies became increasingly frequent.

In a valley filled with rugged rocks.

"Hahaha! This is exhilarating!"

Wang Teng, the Wang Family Prodigy who had been shouting in the plaza earlier, split a third-tier early-stage Earth Splitting Demon Bear in half with a single axe strike!

He was covered in blood, yet his aura only grew stronger, his eyes filled with fervent battle intent.

"I, Wang Teng, will definitely secure a spot in the top three this year!"

He wiped the blood from his face and was about to collect the demon bear's Demon Core.

However, just then!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several chains, as black as ink, shot out from the shadows without warning, like venomous snakes, instantly coiling around his limbs and body!

"What is this?!"

Wang Teng's expression changed drastically. Spiritual energy erupted within him as he tried to break free.

But a strange power emanated from the chains, one that devoured spiritual energy, rendering his proud brute strength completely useless!

"Jie jie jie..."

Amidst chilling laughter, several figures clad in loose Black Robes slowly emerged from the shadows.

They exuded a pure, fearsome aura of evil!

"You... are you from the 'Divine Court'?!"

Fear finally appeared in Wang Teng's eyes!

"Correct, but unfortunately, there's no prize."

The leading Black Robe let out a mocking laugh.

He raised his hand, about to end Wang Teng's life.

Just then, a indifferent voice sounded from behind them.

"Wait."

"This prey is mine."

The Black Robes froze in unison at the sound.

They respectfully turned around and knelt on one knee towards the newcomer.

A youth with a sinister face, his eyes filled with venom and glee, walked step by step out of the darkness.

"Ye... Ye Xuan?!"

Wang Teng, bound on the ground, was so shocked his eyeballs nearly popped out after seeing the newcomer's appearance!

"It's you, you Lost Dog! How could you be here?!"

"Lost Dog?"

A twisted and cruel smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face.

He walked up to Wang Teng and looked down at him, as if he were looking at Ants that could be crushed at will.

"Very soon, you will know who is the real... dog!"
