"You managed to escape from us last time, instead of keeping your tail between your legs and running away, why did you come back?"
"Could it be that they're eager to become our puppets?!"
The cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces looked at Lin Yu with venomous eyes. After all, Lin Yu already knew everything about them, so there was no need for them to hide anything!
Lin Yu had no intention of getting entangled with these guys any longer, since once he activated the technique, they would all be eliminated by the formation!
But before that, Lin Yu planned to rescue the other cultivators, especially those who had become prisoners of the Twelve True Palaces due to bad luck.
These monks are the truly innocent ones.
"Enough with the nonsense! Tell me clearly where those cultivators were imprisoned, which barrier they were in, and which forest they were in!" Lin Yu said coldly.
Lin Yu's tone was icy, which surprised even the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces.
They seemed to have never imagined that Lin Yu would be so arrogant after returning to the Twelve True Palaces.
"Where do you get the audacity to talk to us like that?!"
"You only managed to escape our formation by sheer luck. You don't think you'll be so lucky today, do you?"
"That's laughable! Why should we tell you something like this? And who do you think you are?"
The cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces spoke aggressively, their gazes towards Lin Yu showing no fear whatsoever.
Although some cultivators managed to escape their spells, before that, no one had ever dared to launch a counterattack and return.
Because the land of these Twelve True Palaces contains many barriers that can trap them.
No cultivator can guarantee that their luck will be this good every time!
Moreover, after the last "baptism" of the formation, the formation of the Twelve True Palaces only instilled fear in them!
"What harm is there in telling you? As long as you kneel down and call us 'Master' a few times, we'll lock you up with them in one of the lockers!!!"
"Hahahaha... What's your relationship with those people? You actually dared to dream of rescuing them from here? That's laughable."
"I advise you not to meddle in our Twelve Palaces' territory!"
The cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces burst into laughter, utterly arrogant, completely disregarding Lin Yu's words.
Little did they know, their fate was now completely in Lin Yu's hands.
Not all the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces were so arrogant. One of them was clear-headed and, seeing the frenzied state of everyone around him, couldn't help but speak up.
"I said, this guy can come and go freely in our Twelve Palaces of Truth, he must have some extraordinary abilities, we should be careful."
However, his words were completely ignored by the other cultivators. They were only stunned for a moment before saying disdainfully, "You're overthinking it."
"These Twelve True Palaces are filled with countless barriers. Even if we can't do anything to this guy, as long as we use those barriers, even the Heavenly King himself would have no choice but to obey."
"So what if he manages to escape one barrier? The Twelve True Palaces have no shortage of barriers. We can just find another one. I don't believe this guy can escape."
Upon hearing this, several cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces around couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Those cultivators who have long resided in the Twelve True Palaces are naturally the most qualified to speak on just how powerful the barrier within them is.
The cultivator who spoke first was initially worried, wondering what would happen if Lin Yu's strength was truly heaven-defying. However, upon hearing his companion's words, he immediately calmed down as if he had seen a pillar of stability.
"You're right, I was overthinking it this time. Even with all his luck, he can't be that lucky every time!!!"
While the group was discussing amongst themselves, Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged; he simply stared at them coldly.
Although his body didn't move, Lin Yu's mental energy was constantly exploring in all directions of the Twelve True Palaces.
Lin Yu noticed that when he mentioned puppets, several cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces subconsciously looked towards the northwest.
Human language may deceive, but subconscious actions do not.
Lin Yu believed that even if the northwest direction wasn't where the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces imprisoned the puppets, it was still inextricably linked to the destination Lin Yu was looking for.
"Do you think this kid's gone mad? He hasn't moved an inch in all this time."
"Brother, what are you saying? If this kid wasn't stupid, why would he come back to our Twelve True Palaces?"
"Ha ha ha ha!..."
Before they could finish speaking, the group burst into laughter again.
Their inaction wasn't due to being too busy joking to make a move; it was intentional.
Because they could only stay in the area of the Twelve True Palaces for several years, the cultivators there were more or less bored.
Therefore, they were all extremely curious about Lin Yu, and none of them wanted to make a move immediately and ruin the fun.
Instead, they wanted to toy with it slowly, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Therefore, the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces were not in a hurry. However, what they did not expect was that even though they did not take action, Lin Yu was not in a hurry to run away.
In their imagination, during the time they were laughing and joking without restraint, Lin Yu should have been so frightened that he fled in panic.
But Lin Yu stood still, completely motionless.
This reaction amused the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces.
"Whether you can trap them or not, you'll have to try," Lin Yu said calmly.
The simplest way is to see what tricks these guys can pull out and then adapt accordingly.
However, only Lin Yu's strength could achieve this.
Lin Yu's words caused the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces to pause for a moment, before they burst into laughter again.
"This kid is insane! Someone actually wants to leave the barrier on their own!"
"Since that's the case, then so be it!"
The cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces exchanged glances and began to lead Lin Yu to the location of the barrier.
If there's anything wrong with the barrier of the Twelve True Palaces, it's that its location is fixed.
As long as the exact location of the barrier is known, no one will want to step on it, and naturally, they will not fall into the barrier.
So if Lin Yu really doesn't move with them, they really can't do anything to him. After all, in terms of strength alone, even if they all combined, they might not be a match for Lin Yu Lin Yu.
