The two Radiant Body powerhouses headed toward the Primordial Hall together, both radiating an unmistakably hostile presence.
Yet Lin Yu was not the least bit anxious. He had just obtained the Primordial Compass and was worrying about having no one to test it on. These two fellows had walked straight into his line of fire!
"Ding... deduction in progress... deduction complete! (Click to display deduction results!)"
"System, display the deduction results!"
[Name: Wu Chen, title: Star Swordsman, realm: late Radiant Body Realm, cultivation/cultivation technique: Supreme Cultivation Technique, sect affiliation: Supreme Sword Sect, identity: eighth elder of the Supreme Sword Sect, signature moves: Dian Cang Heaven and Earth Sword, Taiji Heaven-Shocking Sword..., current condition: peak condition, purpose of this trip: investigate the existence and strength of the Primordial Hall!] [Name: Wu Shuang, title: Bright and Unrestrained Swordsman, realm: late Radiant Body Realm, cultivation/cultivation technique: Supreme Cultivation Technique, sect affiliation: Supreme Sword Sect, identity: ninth elder of the Supreme Sword Sect, signature moves: Kunlun Thunderbolt Sword, Nameless Earth-Shaking Sword..., current condition: peak condition, purpose of this trip: investigate the existence and strength of the Primordial Hall!]
To think Wu Chen and Wu Shuang really had come to make trouble for him. Lin Yu could not help chuckling. His test subjects had fallen into his lap without the slightest effort!
"System, project my image over there through the Primordial Platform!" Lin Yu said.
"Ding, loading projection module... projection in progress... projection complete!"
Judging by the system's words alone, one might have thought the process took a long time. In reality, it happened in an instant. Long before the system finished speaking, Lin Yu's image had already been projected.
Meanwhile, a hundred li away, quite a few cultivators were following the two swordsmen, Wu Shuang and Wu Chen, wanting to see what their sudden appearance was all about.
The sudden appearance of Lin Yu's figure startled everyone.
Lin Yu appeared before everyone's eyes just like that. At some point, the clouds on the horizon had curved into the shape of a chair, just right for him to use.
However, Lin Yu did not reveal his appearance. In the cultivators' eyes, his face was concealed by white light, making him look incomparably mysterious.
Seeing Lin Yu suddenly appear, the two swordsmen, Wu Shuang and Wu Chen, exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
Just who could appear before them so silently, without a trace?
Wu Shuang and Wu Chen were not so naive as to think they had missed their chance to detect him because they had been receiving the worship of the gathered cultivators.
In fact, although they looked as though they had only just emerged from the spatial rift, their spiritual power had long since spread through their surroundings, monitoring everything around them at every moment.
"Who goes there?!" the two swordsmen, Wu Shuang and Wu Chen, shouted in unison, their expressions somewhat grim.
One look at Lin Yu was enough to tell them that this newcomer was no pushover. Had he not chosen to appear at this moment precisely to knock the two of them down a peg?
It was not just Wu Shuang and Wu Chen who were shocked. Even the countless cultivators who had followed them found it strange. They wondered whether this cultivator had gone mad. Wu Shuang and Wu Chen had already reached late Radiant Body and could practically run rampant throughout the Eastern Wasteland.
Yet even so, Lin Yu remained seated upright on his cloud chair upon seeing them, as though he did not take them seriously at all.
"Heh, you don't even recognize me, yet you presume to come looking for me?" Lin Yu chuckled, subtly giving Wu Shuang and Wu Chen a reminder.
Yet those few casual words made both Wu Shuang's and Wu Chen's expressions change.
"You're the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall!"
The two spoke in unison, each all but seeing the shock in the other's eyes. Could the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall truly know everything under heaven without ever leaving home?
They had only just come out, yet they had already run straight into him.
Just as well. Since he's delivered himself to our doorstep, we've found him without the slightest effort! Wu Chen planned inwardly.
On their way to the Eastern Wasteland, both he and Wu Shuang had surmised that finding the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall would be no easy task. Yet they had never expected to encounter the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall "basking in the sun" the moment they stepped outside.
"He's the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall!" Lin Yu's words left the cultivators following the two swordsmen, Wu Shuang and Wu Chen, dumbstruck, their mouths hanging open without a word.
This was the very person who had turned the Eastern Wasteland upside down in just three short days!
Countless probing gazes fell upon Lin Yu, but no matter how hard they tried, none could see through the formation.
That was only natural. Even Wu Shuang and Wu Chen, two elders of the Supreme Sword Sect, could not see through the formation on Lin Yu, much less ordinary cultivators by the roadside.
Lin Yu paid no heed whatsoever to the others' gazes. He raised his hand and casually fiddled with the Primordial Compass in his grasp. Two clicks rang through the silent sky.
"Hum..."
"Thousandfold Pressure!"
This was one of the Primordial Sect's abilities: releasing a special pressure!
Wu Shuang and Wu Chen had felt light and nimble, but after Lin Yu's action, before they even had time to understand what had happened, they felt a terrifying pressure descending from heaven and earth!
This pressure naturally targeted Wu Shuang and Wu Chen, but some of the surrounding cultivators were caught in it as well.
Their strength was naturally no greater than Wu Shuang's and Wu Chen's. Before long, they dropped to their knees one after another with thuds.
Merely kneeling was not the end of it. Their bodies continued to sink, even though what acted upon these ordinary cultivators was no more than a little spillover.
At the center of the pressure, Wu Shuang and Wu Chen looked equally grim. However glorious their entrance had been, their present predicament was every bit as embarrassing.
The weaker Elder Wu Shuang had already turned pale. Cold sweat kept sliding down his forehead, and his lips trembled ceaselessly. He looked utterly miserable.
Elder Wu Chen on the other side was not faring much better and could not spare a hand to help.
Both were now merely struggling to hold on.
Lin Yu made no further move, merely watching with interest as the two held out.
Before long, Wu Shuang and Wu Chen could hold on no longer. With two bangs, a sight that made every cultivator's jaw drop unfolded!
The two elders, Wu Shuang and Wu Chen, who had been so full of swagger just moments before, actually sank to their knees just like them!
The entire Eastern Wasteland fell silent at that moment. Countless cultivators stared in shock at the two elders' bent knees in midair. Just what was the background of this Hall Master of the Primordial Hall?
Those were Radiant Body Realm powerhouses, yet he could easily suppress them through pressure alone. This was a Saint! Perhaps he was even an existence beyond a Saint!
Pinned in midair, Elder Wu Shuang's eyes had turned utterly bloodshot. His voice was almost squeezed out through clenched teeth: "You. Are. Finished. Today!"
