No one dared to make any noise in front of Lin Yun, for fear of angering him.
The next moment, the owner of the Hundred Fragrance Workshop, supported by two subordinates, hurried down from upstairs.
At this point, the owner could barely walk steadily. Fortunately, his subordinates were holding him up. His face was deathly pale.
Just moments earlier, upstairs, the news of Lin Yun’s arrival had already frightened him half to death.
“Lin… Supreme Lin Yun, what wind has brought you here?”
After reaching Lin Yun, the owner forced a smile onto his ashen face.
“Owner of the Hundred Fragrance Workshop, I hear you have resumed the trade in female elves. How bold of you. You treat my earlier warning as nothing? Did you truly believe that, once I went to the elf clan, I would never return?” Lin Yun demanded in an icy tone, thick with killing intent.
As soon as these words left Lin Yun’s mouth, the guests inside the workshop finally understood why he had come.
They all realised in that instant that the owner was in serious trouble.
“Supreme Lin Yun, there must be a misunderstanding. I… I have not sold female elves again.” The owner defended himself, his voice trembling.
Lin Yun gave a cold laugh. “You still try to quibble? Last time I gave you a chance, yet you failed to cherish it. I already told you then that if you ever sold female elves again, you would be making an enemy of me, and I would show no mercy.”
“Since you have broken your word, you will pay for that breach with your life.”
As the words fell, Lin Yun immediately circulated his internal force and struck out with a palm.
“No!”
Sensing the terrifying power of that palm, the owner’s eyes widened in horror.
Yet the palm imprint of internal force did not pause for an instant. It struck the owner squarely.
Pfft!
Blood sprayed from the owner’s mouth. A huge bloody hole was torn through his chest. He crashed into an artificial rockery behind him, lost all signs of life, and died on the spot.
Lin Yun swept his gaze around the room. “From this day forward, anyone who dares to sell female elves in Heart City will meet this same end.”
“The Hundred Fragrance Workshop closes as of today.”
Having delivered these two statements, Lin Yun turned and left at once.
He had killed the owner, firstly because the man had broken his promise, and secondly to reassert his authority in Heart City.
Once news of the owner’s death spread, the residents of Heart City would fully understand the consequences of opposing Lin Yun.
After leaving the Hundred Fragrance Workshop, Lin Yun returned to the inn, then took Mu Li, Zou Dongsheng, and the three Golden Lords with him. They departed Heart City and headed for the former Infinite Heavenly Palace.
Since his business in Heart City was complete, it was time to go and see the palace.
Ruins of the Infinite Heavenly Palace.
Lin Yun and his party appeared in the sky above.
“I never imagined it would have fallen into such ruins.” Lin Yun gazed down at the wreckage of the Infinite Heavenly Palace, his heart filled with emotion.
“It is no matter, Brother Lin Yun. It will soon be rebuilt, and it will certainly look exactly as it once did,” Mu Li said.
“Reconstructing it according to the original design is truly not difficult. With several Supremes personally taking part, at most half a month will be needed to restore its former appearance,” Flying Shadow Golden Lord said.
With the strength of Supremes, transporting building materials was easy, and using internal force to assemble them was naturally swift.
Only the finer polishing of details and the various decorations would require a little more time.
“Good. Then let us begin the reconstruction today,” Lin Yun said.
“Very well, Palace Master. You need not concern yourself with this matter. Leave it to us. Until the Infinite Heavenly Palace is rebuilt, everyone can remain in Heart City for the time being,” Zou Dongsheng said.
…
One day later, Lin Yun received a reply from the demon clan.
The demon clan powerhouse conveyed that their Demon Emperor had clearly stated the demon clan would not interfere in the affairs between the parties.
The demon clan would remain neutral in this matter, provided Lin Yun did not infringe upon or harm demon clan interests.
Hearing this response, Lin Yun felt a good deal more at ease.
As long as the demon clan stayed out of it, that was enough for him.
Another day passed, and the pavilion master of Myriad Treasures Pavilion sent word that the buyer had arrived.
Upon receiving the message, Lin Yun went straight to Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
Private room in the rear courtyard of Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
“Lin Yun, allow me to introduce you. This is Golden Supreme Jing Tong. He has only recently entered the Golden Supreme realm, so he is eager to possess a source artefact of his own,” the pavilion master said, presenting the man to Lin Yun.
This Golden Supreme had slightly pale skin and wore neat clothing, giving the impression of someone serious and rarely given to smiling.
