Hu Liena Was Numb

After Gui Mei and Elder Ju left,

Bibi Dong turned her gaze back to the Golden Generation—or, more precisely, to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena was her personal disciple, Spirit Hall's Saintess, and the person Bibi Dong valued most right now.

"What do you think of Lin Ye now?"

At those words,

every member of the Golden Generation hung their head.

What was there to think?

If this was true,

they had completely abandoned any thought of challenging Lin Ye.

Of course,

there was no chance it was false.

Gui Mei and Elder Ju would never stake their reputations on a joke like that.

"We'll train hard. We won't let you down."

Hu Liena was shaken to her core.

The first time they had encountered Lin Ye,

the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, fighting together, had still been able to trade blows with him.

The second time...

they had not even forced Lin Ye to release his Martial Soul.

And now,

they no longer even qualified to challenge him.

Right...

Hu Liena finally understood why Lin Ye had not released his Martial Soul last time.

It had not been arrogance.

He simply had not wanted to reveal his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring in front of them.

"Your Holiness."

"Lin Ye must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Learning that Lin Ye could already drive Yue Guan back had dealt Yan a blow, too.

But...

his thoughts took a different turn.

He did not hope to defeat Lin Ye soon. He hoped Lin Ye would die soon.

Only then

would Hu Liena turn her attention to him.

Of course,

the chief reason he wanted Lin Ye dead so quickly

was that he knew he could not surpass him anytime soon.

Right...

Not within twenty years, at the very least.

"Enough."

"I understand."
