The one sending the voice transmission was none other than Great Emperor Bai Wei!
"Yang Chen, this Lin Xi is anything but simple. His apparent strength has already reached the seventh level of Earth Martial Realm. What level of opponent he can truly fight is still unknown. I fear he is far more than an ordinary seventh level of Earth Martial Realm. Only by defeating him can you expose him, and only then can I lend you a hand under all this pressure and cooperate with you in revealing his identity as a member of the Forbidden Demon Clan. Otherwise, if you are defeated by him, mere words will prove nothing, and all our efforts will come to naught," Great Emperor Bai Wei said.
Upon hearing of Lin Xi's strength, Yang Chen drew a sharp breath.
He had been able to guess that Lin Xi was no weakling, likely a cut above many top martial artists. But he had not expected the other man's strength to exceed his expectations so greatly, already reaching the seventh level of Earth Martial Realm. He was even stronger than the trump cards Imperial Dao Sect and Eastern Emperor Sect could produce.
Moreover, who could guarantee that his combat strength was truly limited to the seventh level of Earth Martial Realm?
Great Emperor Bai Wei was sweating on Yang Chen's behalf as well. Thinking of Yang Chen facing an expert at the seventh level of Earth Martial Realm, he did not have much confidence either. If Yang Chen lost, exposing Lin Xi would become rather troublesome.
Mere words would prove nothing, and they might even alert the snake in the grass. That was not what he wished to see.
Therefore, everything hinged on Yang Chen. Success or failure would be decided in this single stroke!
