Lin Li Takes the Hit
"Where did this junior come from, daring to disrespect us?"
"Kid, is this how your elders taught you?"
After being mocked by Yi Xuan, the old men immediately became indignant.
They were all furious, staring wide-eyed at Yi Xuan beside Lin Li.
If Lin Li hadn't introduced Yi Xuan as Zhuo Ning's guest, those old men might have attacked directly.
However, at this moment, Spiritual Qi was also surging in the hands of these old men.
It seems that if Yi Xuan doesn't admit his mistake, those old men are prepared to take over the Yi Xuan's education of the disciples.
What kind of beings are these, several Tribulation Transcendence Transcending cultivators plus two Loose Immortal?
With this lineup, they could even sweep through the entire Southern Frontier.
Even if at this moment, the group was merely holding back their power.
The resulting fluctuations in Spiritual Power still made the surrounding area extremely oppressive.
Fortunately, their target was Yi Xuan, which made things a little easier for Lin Li, a cultivator in the Body Integration Realm.
Even the mere leakage of power sent a chill down Lin Li.
He could already imagine the pressure that Yi Xuan, who was facing them directly, was under.
When he turned around, Yi Xuan looked completely calm and collected.
That expression was not one one would show when facing a huge threat.
Not only was it calm, but Lin Li could even sense a hint of boredom on Yi Xuan's face.
How could one feel bored under the Immortal Qi immortal?
Such people are either mentally challenged or lack common sense, or they possess genuine skills and are unafraid of their opponents.
In the eyes of those old men, Yi Xuan was the former.
But in Lin Li's eyes, Yi Xuan was the latter.
Judging from Yi Xuan's terrifying Divine Sense and his strange flying style, Yi Xuan is definitely a person with real skills, and his strength is even no less than that of Loose Immortal.
This is Lin Li's understanding of Yi Xuan at this time.
However, he still had doubts about whether Yi Xuan could deal with the Three-Tribulation Loose Immortal of the Clear Wind Pavilion.
Despite this, the old men all adopted a hostile attitude, as if they were about to draw their swords.
If Lin Li doesn't speak and lets Yi Xuan respond, then an even bigger conflict will definitely erupt between the two sides.
Now that Prince Ning is trapped, if the Immortal Abode were to descend into chaos again, it would truly be a laughingstock.
Thinking of this, Lin Li decisively stepped in front of Yi Xuan, giving the old men an apologetic smile, "Esteemed elders, this Fellow Daoist Yi is a good friend of Prince Ning. Prince Ning is currently trapped and relies on you all and Fellow Daoist Yi for help. Therefore, please do not escalate the conflict and prioritize the overall situation!"
"Clap clap clap!"
As soon as Lin Li finished speaking, one of the elders clapped his hands repeatedly and said with a look of agreement, "Butler Lin is right. At this time, Prince Ning is imprisoned, and we, as the elders of the Immortal Mansion, must naturally be of one mind!"
Hearing this, Lin Li felt relieved.
"Only..."
The old man paused for a moment and then said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Prince Ning's friend to start speaking so offensively right from the start?"
Now, Lin Li's heart, which had been at ease, was on edge again.
What he just said to those old men actually had an underlying meaning: he hoped that they would not criticize Yi Xuan for his rudeness, considering that Yi Xuan was a friend of Prince Ning, and that the primary goal for both sides should be rescuing Prince Ning.
However, Prince Ning was not present at the time, and Butler Lin clearly overestimated the obedience of these retainers.
The old man's meaning was quite clear. They weren't unreasonable people; Yi Xuan's words were hurtful, and they just wanted an explanation.
In Yi Xuan's view, what he had said before was actually quite mild.
These people were Zhuo Ning's retainers.
If they were his own servants, Yi Xuan would have dismissed them long ago.
The master has been kidnapped for so many days, and these several Tribulation Transcendence and Loose Immortal have just stayed in the Immortal Mansion without moving, not even bothering to go out and scout out news or search around.
What's the point of having such offerings? Aren't they just for decoration?
What Yi Xuan even more unbearable was that Lin Li had already revealed the situation of the Clear Wind Pavilion abducting Zhuo Ning.
These guys' first thought was that the opponent was too strong and they couldn't beat them!
Moreover, not a single person showed any intention of going to the rescue.
Isn't this a joke?
If we could defeat all the enemies, why would we need you?
The owner is lost, but the owner doesn't look for them; even knowing where they are, the owner is too afraid to rescue them!
In Yi Xuan's view, wasn't Zhuo Ning just inviting a bunch of ancestors?
"You still have the nerve to ask me to apologize? I think Zhuo Ning isn't raising a bunch of ancestors, he's raising a bunch of parasites! If you guys can seize the throne, then the throne of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom is practically worthless!"
Upon hearing this, the Spiritual Qi fluctuations that had dissipated from the hands of those old men instantly gathered again.
"Court death!"
"Give me your life!"
The old men had never suffered such humiliation. Since entering Zhuo Ning's Zhuo Ning abode, even Prince Ning had treated them with great courtesy.
Now, some guy who claims to be a friend of Prince Ning has appeared out of nowhere and dares to humiliate us like this.
And this kid is only at the Qi Refining Realm!
If they don't take his life, what face will those who serve them have left?
The old man standing at the front was the first to make a move, lightly striking Yi Xuan with a palm strike from a distance.
Yi Xuan, however, just stood there quietly.
In the old man's eyes, Yi Xuan was simply too weak to react.
And that was indeed the case. With Yi Xuan's current visual abilities, even a casual strike from Tribulation Transcendence was beyond his ability to detect.
But don't forget Yi Xuan's powerful Divine Sense. Under his Divine Sense, the other party's movements were played in Yi Xuan's mind frame by frame, as if in slow motion.
Meanwhile, the Black Tortoise in Yi Xuan's Storage Bag was also ready and could stand in front of Yi Xuan at any time.
Beyond the atmosphere, in the universe, the space-based weapons on Starlink had long been aimed at all the elders present.
As soon as the Black Tortoise appears, a powerful laser attack will descend instantly.
But just as the old man launched his attack, a figure rushed directly between the old man and Yi Xuan.
Upon closer inspection, the man turned out to be Steward Lin.
The old man also noticed the sudden appearance of Steward Lin.
But once the attack was made, it was too late to back down.
All he could do was stop outputting his True Essence and minimize the power of his palm strike.
"Puff!"
As expected, Lin Li coughed up blood, but he did not stagger back a step.
The old man's timely withdrawal greatly reduced the power of his attack; otherwise, for Body Integration Cultivator like Lin Li, to withstand his palm strike would have been a pipe dream.
Yi Xuan naturally noticed Lin Li blocking his way. After seeing Lin Shuo shield him from the attack, he gave up on summoning the Black Tortoise and the Tianji Strike.
"Steward Lin, you..."
Several elderly people saw Lin Li spitting blood and quickly stepped forward to express their concern.
Lin Li waved his hand and said, "I took this blow for Fellow Daoist Yi. Everyone, are we even now? Please put aside your grudges! The most important thing is to find a way to rescue Prince Ning!"
