Lin Heng sat cross-legged on the mountaintop.
Sitting in such a conspicuous position naturally makes it easier for cultivators from other Land of the Eight Desolations to spot them.
Before long, a figure floated down from the sky.
The figure paused slightly after spotting Lin Heng.
Everyone looked at the person approaching from the sky.
She wore a long dress embroidered with lotus flower patterns.
A beautiful face, a cold gaze—a typical ice queen.
Upon seeing this person, Dasiwoba spoke first, immediately recognizing the newcomer's identity.
"It's Lan Tianhe."
"It seems that Lan Tianhe has grown quite rapidly in the Southern Contemplative Immortal Sea over the years."
"I remember the last time I saw her, she was in the Late Cave Annihilation Realm, but now she has reached the Early Creation Realm."
Dasiwoba didn't take Lan Tianhe, who was only at the Early Creation Realm, seriously.
After all, even when Tuoluomen and Haoke, both at the Late-stage Creation Realm, joined forces, they were defeated by Lin Heng.
The Early Creation Realm is probably not even enough for Lin Heng to warm up.
Upon seeing Lan Tianhe appear, everyone was curious about what she might do.
Lin Heng is the chosen one of the emperor, inheriting the legacy of Mu Chen.
Killing him would not only grant me access to Mu Chen's legacy.
It can also spread its fame Four Seas and Eight Wastelands.
Such temptation is not something everyone can resist.
But right under the watchful eyes of Hongjun and the others...
Lan Tianhe glanced at Lin Heng only once before continuing to fly forward.
Now, both Hermoz and Dasiwoba couldn't help but give Lin Yue Yao a deep look.
Was Lan Tianhe's departure her own decision, or had Lin Yue Yao given her some prior instructions?
This is very important for Hermoz and Dasiwoba.
If it is Lin Yue Yao's explanation, then Southern Contemplative Immortal Sea's attitude towards Lin Heng in the Mountains and Rivers Painting Scroll is basically clear.
Hermoz smiled and said something to Lin Yue Yao.
"The people under Yue Yao's command in the seas are truly cautious."
"He can Immovable even when facing Lin Heng, who is at the Cave Annihilation Realm."
Lin Yue Yao easily understood Hermoz's probing words.
The fact that a cultivator at the Creation Realm couldn't even muster the slightest thought when facing a cultivator at the Cave Annihilation Realm —doesn't this imply that Lin Yue Yao was restricting her subordinates in some way?
Lin Yue Yao gave a calm reply to this.
Having ambition is not necessarily a bad thing.
"But sometimes ambition and ability don't match."
"Then you'd better be careful, you might lose your life."
"From the moment we embark on the path of cultivation, we are fighting against fate."
"If there is even the slightest chance, I will fight for it with all my might."
"Even knowing there's no chance, they still risk their lives to fight."
"This isn't a hero, it's a fool."
After Lin Yue Yao finished speaking in a calm tone, Hermoz's eyes immediately darkened.
Wasn't Lin Yue Yao's insult about him a complete idiot?
The other three sea lords did not make a move against Lin Heng.
It was Hermoz who attacked Lin Heng.
This perfectly illustrates Lin Yue Yao's words: people have ambition, but lack the corresponding strength.
Everyone knows that Lin Heng is Mu Chen's successor, and Mu Chen is the only person that Primordial Chaos can take seriously.
In that case, how could Lin Heng not attract Primordial Chaos's attention?
You dare to make a move on him?
Isn't this like turning on a light in the toilet? Are you asking for trouble?
Is it wrong to call you an idiot?
Just as Hermoz was about to lash out, a voice from Dasiwoba interrupted him.
It looks like someone else is coming.
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Four Seas looked at the divided images on the Mountains and Rivers Painting Scroll again, quickly fixing his gaze on the image of Lin Heng.
The scene shows a man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face hovering in mid-air, looking at Lin Heng.
Upon seeing this person, Hermoz smiled slightly.
The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face was a cultivator from the desolate land beneath the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea, named Sun Baipu.
This guy is notorious even in the entire Eastern Victorious Divine Sea.
It wasn't because he was exceptionally strong.
Sun Baipu's cultivation level was only at the Initial Creation Realm.
What made him famous was that Sun Baipu was the type of person who would jump at any opportunity for personal gain, but would run away faster than anyone else when faced with danger.
His famous battle was when Eastern Victorious Divine Sea and Western Celebratory Demon Sea had a dispute.
The cultivators from both seas, including those from the desolate lands under their command, gathered for a fierce battle.
When the great battle began, Sun Baipu was targeted by a cultivator in the Middle Creation Realm.
The two exchanged only one move.
Using the recoil from the opponent's attack, Sun Baipu vanished in a flash.
In such a great battle, even though most of the cultivators on both sides focused their attention on their opponent.
However, they would still naturally retain some attention to observe the battle situation on the field.
As a result, news of Sun Baipu's defeat and escape spread Four Seas.
In the past, Hermoz would have found this person extremely annoying.
But today, Sun Baipu's appearance brought a look of joy to his face.
Given her personality, how could she not be moved upon seeing Lin Heng?
Not to mention that when he set off from the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea, he specifically instructed that he must not back down when facing Lin Heng.
As expected, just as Hermoz had predicted.
The moment Sun Baipu saw Lin Heng, his eyes immediately sparkled.
He looked even more excited than if he had seen a beautiful woman.
Lin Yue Yao chuckled softly upon seeing this.
"It seems the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea is quite interested in Lin Heng."
Upon hearing this, Hermoz's expression changed slightly.
Some things are done in secret, and even if everyone knows about them, it doesn't matter.
But if it's brought up openly, the meaning is quite different.
Hermoz immediately began to defend himself.
"Given Lin Heng's reputation, there are quite a few cultivators who want to defeat him and thus Four Seas."
It's not surprising that Sun Baipu has this idea.
"And I'm afraid it's not just Sun Baipu; don't other cultivators in the Land of the Eight Desolations have the same thoughts?"
After Hermoz finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Hongjun.
Hermoz breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Hongjun remained calm and did not react in any particular way.
I looked at the Mountains and Rivers Painting Scroll again.
Seeing Lin Heng sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, Sun Baipu, who was in mid-air, suddenly chose to launch an attack.
Sun Baipu suddenly appeared behind Lin Heng.
A serrated dagger had appeared in his hand without him noticing.
Sun Baipu, holding a dagger, immediately stabbed Lin Heng in the back of the neck.
From the moment he vanished into thin air to the moment he reappeared behind Lin Heng, and finally wielded his dagger, the entire sequence of movements was executed flawlessly.
However, Lin Heng kept his eyes tightly closed, as if he had not sensed Sun Baipu's attack.
Um?
This scene left the Lord of the Four Seas watching with puzzled expressions.
If Lin Heng didn't notice Sun Baipu when he appeared, that would be one thing.
How could Lin Heng have been completely unaware of the attack after it was launched?
Moreover, Sun Baipu's attack was launched right behind Lin Heng.
At such close range, even the slightest sound of wind could be heard.
What exactly is Lin Heng plotting?
