Amid everyone's astonished, bewildered stares, Lin Hanshuang gave a slight bow, yielding the seat of honor. Then, with great care, she supported a black-robed elderly man and walked forward.
"What...?" Countless people were utterly at a loss.
What was going on?
Many gazes converged on the black-robed elder at the center. Quite a few narrowed their eyes, yet could find nothing unusual about him.
To some weaker people, the black-robed elder's aura was immensely powerful.
Immortal Lord Realm!
Yet to most experts, an ordinary Immortal Lord could perhaps barely be called a powerhouse, but he was absolutely not worthy of being treated this way by an Invincible Immortal Lord.
From the aura Lin Hanshuang had unleashed just now, many had already been frightened out of their wits.
Invincible Immortal Lord!
This young woman was actually an Invincible Immortal Lord!
And what was the relationship between these people and the Lin Family?
The main family?
Some frowned in thought, while others' expressions changed slightly.
"Could it be..." Some older-generation experts seemed to recall something, and their eyes flashed with intense disbelief and apprehension.
If it really was that Lin Family... then this matter was likely far from simple.
Others remained puzzled, their guesses running wild.
But none of that had much to do with Lin Cheng. He allowed Lin Hanshuang to support him as he strolled forward step by step, trembling and unsteady, like an old man with one foot in the grave. In truth, his physical condition was indeed far from good.
By ordinary standards, saying he was in worse shape than that Qianyuan ancestor would not have been an exaggeration.
Had those mysterious points of light not appeared, Lin Cheng's current state would have become reality.
"This elder..."
The moment Lin Haoran saw the black-robed elder, he first froze.
