No one had expected that the Dao Alliance Leader had been closely following the unfolding events here.
What shocked the crowd even more was that the Dao Alliance Leader would personally appear at this critical moment to extend an invitation to Lin Yun.
“Sorry, I will not join your Dao Alliance!” Lin Yun replied firmly, without a moment’s hesitation.
The Dao Alliance Leader’s expression darkened. “This leader is offering you a chance to live. Are you truly so obstinate?”
“It is not that I am obstinate. I was willing to exchange a source artefact for your Dao Alliance’s protection, yet your Dao Alliance insisted that I lose to Jigu of the Void Clan in the peak competition before you would agree. I want to ask the Leader directly: is this the way your Dao Alliance conducts itself?” Lin Yun demanded loudly.
Lin Yun’s words exploded like a bombshell at the scene.
The crowd immediately erupted into an uproar.
“What? The reason the Dao Alliance failed to reach an agreement with Lin Yun before was actually this?”
“The Dao Alliance actually wanted to seize the championship through such improper means? This… this is going too far!”
This was undoubtedly a major scandal for the Dao Alliance.
If one of the six great powers had done something like this, no one would have been particularly surprised.
But for the Dao Alliance, with its excellent reputation, to act in this way was clearly seen as excessive by everyone.
The Dao Alliance Leader and the alliance’s team at the scene all changed colour abruptly.
“So that is how it was?” Even Elder Yuan Xia of the Dual Venerates Pavilion was filled with shock. Had Lin Yun not revealed it himself, even he would not have known.
“You insolent brat, stop spouting nonsense! My Dao Alliance would never do such a thing. Knowing you must die today, you still try to slander my Dao Alliance with random accusations? Since you remain so stubborn, then fend for yourself. From now on, you will die at the hands of the three great powers’ retaliation!”
As the Dao Alliance Leader finished speaking, his illusory projection instantly vanished.
Inside the Dao Alliance headquarters.
“That ignorant fool who courts death. I want to see just how he breaks out of this situation today!” The Dao Alliance Leader’s face burned with anger.
“He is finished.” The white-haired elder beside the Dao Alliance Leader said.
“Hmph. Now, let us just sit back and watch him burn himself.”
The Dao Alliance Leader returned to his throne and picked up his teacup.
Back on the Chaos Square.
“Lin Yun, now that the Dao Alliance no longer protects you, you are doomed. Haha!” The Young Lord of the Nether Palace laughed ferociously.
“Lin Yun, accept your death!”
The Blood Moon Alliance Sect Master struck first. He slapped out with one hand, and a massive blood-coloured palm imprint instantly formed in the air before slamming down ruthlessly towards Lin Yun.
The Supreme realm also had three minor stages: Initial Supreme, Golden Supreme, and Origin Supreme.
The Blood Moon Alliance Sect Master had long since reached the second minor stage of the Supreme realm, Golden Supreme. He was confident that even if Lin Yun had stepped into the Supreme realm, he would only be a newly advanced Initial Supreme, and he could easily kill him.
Wherever the blood-coloured palm imprint passed, heaven and earth trembled. The power it contained was truly capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Even a casual strike carried such terrifying might.
This level of power made even Lin Yun feel a palpitation in his heart.
This was the strength of a Supreme!
Everyone present could already foresee that under this palm, Lin Yun would undoubtedly die.
“Young Lord!”
An Yun grew anxious and tried to rush out from the crowd, wanting to shield Lin Yun with her own body, but Zou Dongsheng firmly pulled her back.
Whoosh!
In mid-air.
A beam of light shot forward and, with a boom, collided violently with the blood-coloured palm imprint.
The energy that exploded in the air swept out in a fearsome storm shockwave, spreading in all directions.
Fortunately, most of the cultivators watching were at least at the Saint realm, so they could withstand the spreading aftershocks.
“What is happening!”
This sudden turn of events left everyone astonished.
Under the gazes of the crowd, a man wearing a conical hat rose into the air and flew to a position in front of Lin Yun.
The realm aura he released had clearly reached the level of Golden Supreme!
“Unexpectedly, a Golden Supreme has appeared to protect Lin Yun!”
“He truly had backing after all!”
“Who would have thought he could get a Supreme to come out and protect him.”
The appearance of a Golden Supreme instantly pushed the atmosphere at the scene to a new height.
For Lin Yun to be able to bring out a Supreme to protect him, how could the crowd not be shocked?
“As expected, Friend Lin Yun has a Supreme behind him. It is just as I suspected!” The Master of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion exclaimed repeatedly.
As early as when Lin Yun had used the alias Beichen to do business with him multiple times, he had sensed that Lin Yun was no ordinary person. He had even asked Lin Yun whether he was the disciple of some hidden Supreme.
