On the way out of the city, Lin Yun hesitated.
The greatest threat now was undoubtedly Nether Palace. Although Lin Yun could not be absolutely certain that Nether Palace’s team would come looking for trouble, the possibility was extremely high.
Lin Yun was also pondering what to do if Nether Palace intercepted him.
Fighting them with force was definitely impossible, and if Nether Palace came for him, it might even implicate Master Wu and the others.
“Master Wu, how about we split up and leave the city separately?” Lin Yun suggested proactively.
Lin Yun knew that if they came for him, they would surely target him alone. As long as he parted ways with Master Wu and the others, they would be safe.
“Friend Lin Yun, I understand your concerns. No need to worry too much. Let’s leave the city together first. I am, after all, in the Void Dao Realm, and I’ll protect you as much as I can,” Master Wu said.
In the absence of a Supreme Realm cultivator, the deterrence of a Void Dao Realm cultivator was not weak.
Even Nether Palace had no Supreme Realm cultivator present; their leader was also in the Void Dao Realm.
Hearing Master Wu’s words, Lin Yun felt deeply moved. The fact that Master Wu was still willing to stand by him now showed immense courage.
No matter what, Lin Yun silently noted Master Wu’s kindness in his heart.
“By the way, friend Lin Yun, what’s your connection or relationship with Silent Moon Valley? If you’re on good terms with them, perhaps they could help if Nether Palace comes after you,” Master Wu asked curiously.
At the treasure appraisal event, it hadn’t been convenient for Master Wu to probe further.
Wu Chengtian and his two brothers also looked at Lin Yun with curiosity.
“Master Wu, if I said I have no connection with Silent Moon Valley, not even having heard of them before, would you believe me?” Lin Yun said helplessly, spreading his hands.
“That’s strange then. You’re completely unacquainted with Silent Moon Valley, yet they spoke up for you at the event,” Master Wu said, puzzled.
“Honestly, I don’t know why either,” Lin Yun replied.
After leaving the city.
“Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
Just as the five of them exited the city, a booming voice rang out.
Lin Yun looked up and saw Wu Jun, accompanied by his father and members of the Wu Clan, standing outside the city gate.
“Wu Ersheng!” Master Wu’s eyes flashed with coldness upon seeing Wu Jun’s father.
The Wu Ersheng Master Wu referred to was none other than Wu Jun’s father.
“Seventh Brother, we meet again. How long has it been since we last saw each other? I can’t even remember,” Wu Ersheng said with a smile.
“Don’t call me Seventh Brother!” Master Wu’s face surged with anger.
To Master Wu, Wu Ersheng had not only expelled him from the Wu family but also caused his father’s death. Naturally, Master Wu harboured deep hatred for him.
“Seventh Brother, you’ve failed to discipline your son. I think it’s necessary for me to teach him a lesson on your behalf. As for that fellow named Lin Yun beside you, he beat my son last time and took his True Saint Weapon. Today, he won’t get away!” Wu Ersheng said, still smiling.
“A bet is a bet. How can you call it taking your son’s True Saint Weapon? He clearly lost it to me,” Lin Yun sneered.
“If you’re looking for trouble, I’ll take you on!” Master Wu said sharply.
“Haha, Seventh Brother, you want to fight me? Perfect. I’d love to see how strong you are now. I won’t hold back!” Wu Jun’s father laughed loudly.
At that moment, several figures suddenly flew down from the northern city tower of Heart City.
Lin Yun looked up and saw that their leader was a grim-faced, green-faced old man.
“Bad news, it’s Nether Palace!” Master Wu’s expression changed.
Although Master Wu was in the Void Dao Realm and could handle ordinary trouble, he was powerless against a colossal force like Nether Palace.
Lin Yun’s face also changed. His greatest fear was Nether Palace.
Trouble had indeed arrived!
Meanwhile, Wu Jun and his father revealed gloating smiles.
“Nether Palace has indeed come. This is perfect. We can just watch the show,” Wu Jun’s father said with a smile, waving his hand to signal the Wu Clan members beside him to step back.
“It’d be best if Nether Palace takes care of Wu Chengtian and his whole family!” Wu Jun said, his face full of anticipation.
In an instant, the Nether Palace group landed in front of Lin Yun and his party.
“Brat, you stole from Nether Palace and thought you could leave unscathed? That’s a bit too naive, isn’t it?” the green-faced old man sneered.
