“You arrogant, overbearing fellow. You are showing contempt for the imperial authority of our Sea Wind Empire. Today, I, the city lord, will execute you on behalf of the Sea Wind Empire!” the city lord roared furiously.
As soon as his words ended, he swung his palm forward. His Harmonization Realm aura burst forth without any restraint.
With his attack, a massive palm shadow instantly formed in the air and bore down on Lin Yun.
Lin Yun merely flicked a finger.
Boom!
A terrifying ripple slammed into the palm shadow. The shadow exploded on contact.
The ripple did not slow at all. It surged ruthlessly towards the city lord.
“What?”
The city lord’s expression changed dramatically. He hurriedly circulated his inner energy and desperately formed a golden barrier in front of him.
When the ripple struck the golden barrier, the barrier shattered instantly.
“Pfft!”
The city lord spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole body was hurled backwards, crashing into a group of his subordinates and knocking them down.
This scene caused another wave of shocked uproar at the scene.
That was the city lord himself. The man had only flicked a finger, yet he had completely overpowered the city lord.
Just how terrifying was his strength?
“I told you to leave because I was giving you a chance to live. Do not be ungrateful,” Lin Yun said coldly as he looked at the city lord.
Supported by his men as he stood up, the city lord’s face was extremely grim.
“City Lord, should we form an array against him?” the city guard commander asked.
The city lord, pale-faced, shook his head.
From Lin Yun’s display just now, he could tell that Lin Yun’s strength was profound and unfathomable.
Even if the entire city guard formed an array, they would probably be unable to handle him.
“Inform the Sea Wind Emperor of your Sea Wind Empire to come and see me. I will wait for him in Yan City. Remember, I give him only seven days,” Lin Yun said to the city lord.
These words triggered yet another outburst of astonishment.
To order the Sea Wind Emperor to come and see him, in such a commanding tone? What audacity!
This was a direct challenge to the Sea Wind Emperor!
Lin Yun paid no attention to the reactions. After he finished speaking, he took Wen Jing and left.
Wherever Lin Yun passed, the city guard soldiers hurriedly stepped aside. None dared to block him in the slightest.
After all, even their city lord had been crushed with ease.
Once Lin Yun had gone, the scene completely erupted.
“With strength like his, he cannot possibly be unknown in the Sea Wind Empire. Could he be from another empire? Or perhaps someone from the Spirit Academy?” the city lord said, his face livid.
He had suffered a heavy humiliation today.
“City Lord, what should we do now? This man is beyond our ability to deal with,” the city guard commander said.
The city lord immediately ordered, “Report everything that happened here to His Majesty at once. Also, send men to monitor his movements closely.”
…
After leaving, Lin Yun took Wen Jing straight to an inn in the city and checked in.
The reason he had summoned the Sea Wind Emperor was simple. He wanted to probe the emperor’s memories to find a way back.
As the ruler of an empire, the Sea Wind Emperor would undoubtedly stand at the very top of this world’s pyramid. He should have a fairly comprehensive understanding of the world.
This saved Lin Yun the effort of travelling himself. He only needed to wait in Yan City.
Inside the inn room.
“Big Brother Lin Yun, thank you so much. You saved me again today. I truly have no way to repay you,” Wen Jing said, thanking Lin Yun repeatedly.
“It is nothing.”
“But it seems I have also brought you great trouble,” Wen Jing said guiltily.
Now it was not just the Chasing Wind Sect. They had provoked the entire Sea Wind Empire.
In Wen Jing’s eyes, an empire was an immensely powerful entity. How could any individual stand against it?
Moreover, behind the Sea Wind Empire stood the Heavenly Academy.
Layer upon layer, this directly involved the highest levels of the entire Star Blue Continent.
Wen Jing could hardly imagine how her situation had escalated to such an extent.
“Are you afraid?” Lin Yun asked with a smile as he looked at her.
“If you had not saved me, Big Brother, I would have lost my life long ago. What is left for me to fear?” Wen Jing replied earnestly, meeting his gaze.
“Good that you are not afraid. Rest assured. Even if the Sea Wind Emperor comes, he will only be able to bow his head to me. As for the Heavenly Academy behind the Sea Wind Empire, to me it is nothing more than trivial dust,” Lin Yun said calmly.
Lin Yun did not know the realm of the Heavenly Academy’s strongest member, nor was he interested in finding out.
Given that this was a star realm outside the ancestral land, one that experienced epochal destructions, it was destined never to produce truly powerful beings.
If Lin Yun’s guess was correct, this star realm did not even possess a Saint Realm expert.
