This was especially evident in large-scale warfare. A Supreme could channel inner force and instantly unleash devastating attacks on lower-realm cultivators, but orc powerhouses had to fight hand-to-hand, taking on enemies one by one.
Because of this, it was extremely difficult for orc tribes to wage all-out, massive wars. Although their top experts still played a huge role in such conflicts, they could not compare to human Supremes.
Mu Li continued, “Besides, we have come this far already. It is only the final stretch.”
“Very well, then thank you,” Lin Yun said, cupping his fists.
With that, the group set off once more, heading straight for Heart City.
The journey turned out to be quite smooth.
With the strength Lin Yun and the others possessed, they could easily deal with most situations anyway.
Half a month later.
The enormous outline of Heart City once again appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“My friends, Heart City lies ahead. I will escort you only this far,” Mu Li said.
Having brought Lin Yun’s group of four to Heart City, Mu Li’s duty as escort was now complete.
“Senior Mu Li, thank you for seeing us safely here,” Lin Yun said, cupping his fists in gratitude.
“Brother Beichen, since I have decided to be your friend, there is no need to keep calling me senior. Just call me Brother Mu Li will do,” Mu Li said heartily.
“Alright then, I shall respectfully do as you say, Brother Mu Li,” Lin Yun replied with a wide grin.
Although Mu Li had a fiery temper, after this journey together, Lin Yun felt the orc was actually a very decent person, at least in terms of character. He was trustworthy and true to his word.
“Good. Brother Beichen, I will take my leave now.”
With those words, Mu Li turned and departed.
After Mu Li left.
Lin Yun turned to gaze at the distant silhouette of Heart City.
“We are finally back,” Lin Yun said, letting out a long breath of relief.
Next, he could collect the corpse of that orc powerhouse and continue opening his divine veins.
“Young Master, although we have returned safely, threats still remain here. For now, we must stay vigilant against the Underworld Palace,” Zou Dongsheng reminded him.
“Yes, I know,” Lin Yun nodded.
Lin Yun was well aware that, given the arrogant nature of the Underworld Palace’s Young Lord, after suffering a loss at Lin Yun’s hands, he would never let the matter rest.
But Lin Yun felt no fear. As long as no Supreme from the Underworld Palace came, what did he have to worry about?
Even a Supreme from the Underworld Palace could not easily enter the Ancestral сердце Realm.
“Senior Hong Yuan, the Young Lord of the Underworld Palace won’t hold a grudge against you for helping me set up the array and come after you, will he?” Lin Yun asked, looking at Hong Yuan.
“I have spent many years at my home laying down several extremely complex arrays. If he wants to come after me, it won’t be that easy,” Hong Yuan said with a smile.
His residence was not large, so the arrays did not need to cover a wide area. They only had to be precise and powerful enough.
Hearing this, Lin Yun felt reassured.
Just as they were talking, a commotion suddenly arose below.
Lin Yun looked down.
Dozens of figures shot up from below at astonishing speed, instantly surrounding and blocking the four of them.
Lin Yun focused his gaze and saw that the leader was none other than the Young Lord of the Underworld Palace.
“They came faster than I expected!” Lin Yun’s eyes narrowed.
He had guessed the Underworld Palace would not let things slide.
But he had not expected their retaliation to arrive so quickly. He had only just returned and had not even entered the city yet.
In the blink of an eye, the Young Lord and his men were right in front of Lin Yun’s group.
“We meet again. You really are lucky to have made it back alive from orc territory,” the Young Lord said, staring at Lin Yun with a ferocious expression.
After Lin Yun had left last time, the Young Lord had specially summoned reinforcements from the Underworld Palace.
Now, apart from himself, there was another Harmony Dao expert, the same Transformation Dao elder as before, dozens of other subordinates, and even one at the Moulding Dao realm.
In the Young Lord’s view, with this lineup, dealing with Lin Yun and his companions would be child’s play. After all, his own strength was already formidable.
Lin Yun gave a cold smile. “Young Lord Underworld, aren’t you tired of this? How many times have you tried to deal with me and failed, yet you still come?”
“Brat, the previous times you got lucky because someone protected you. Today, you are finished! Even if you didn’t die in orc territory, you will certainly die by my hand. You dared to offend me, so today, face my wrath!” The Young Lord revealed a savage grin.
He immediately issued the order. “You lot handle the others. This kid is mine. I want to slaughter him personally.”
“Yes!” his followers responded in unison.
“Slaughter me personally? You seem very confident,” Lin Yun said, a smile playing on his lips.
