Five days later.
The Chasing Wind Sect master led a large contingent of sect forces and entered Yan City with great fanfare.
The renowned Qi Grand Commander of the Sea Wind Empire led an elite unit of the empire’s Heavenly Tiger Army into Yan City.
When the citizens of Yan City saw this display, word quickly spread that the Chasing Wind Sect master had personally brought troops to eliminate that fellow called Lin Yun.
Moments after the Chasing Wind Sect entered the city, the Qi Grand Commander also led the renowned elite forces of the Sea Wind Empire’s Heavenly Tiger Army into Yan City in a mighty procession.
With the arrival of the imperial forces, the public buzz among the citizens of Yan City reached a fever pitch.
Outside the inn.
The Chasing Wind Sect and the imperial Heavenly Tiger Army arrived one after another and surrounded the inn so tightly that not even water could leak through.
A large crowd of citizens who had come to watch the spectacle gathered outside the inn.
“Under the encirclement and suppression by the Chasing Wind Sect and the imperial army, that fellow will probably die without a burial place.”
“Although he easily defeated the Harmonization Realm city lord, both the Qi Grand Commander and the Chasing Wind Sect master are Tribulation Crossing Realm experts!”
“He is just one man, yet he dares to oppose the empire. He is simply courting death.”
The citizens were already heatedly discussing it.
…
Inside the inn.
Wen Jing hurried anxiously to Lin Yun’s room.
“Big Brother Lin Yun, the Chasing Wind Sect master has personally brought a large force, and… one of the empire’s grand commanders has also brought many people.” Wen Jing said urgently.
“I know. Let us go down.” Lin Yun stood up.
Outside the inn.
“Qi Grand Commander, you have come as well.” The Chasing Wind Sect master stepped forward to greet him upon seeing the Qi Grand Commander leading his troops.
With the Qi Grand Commander present, the sect master felt even more assured.
“This fellow dares to provoke our Sea Wind Empire. The Sea Wind Empire will certainly execute him. Naturally, I had to come.” The Qi Grand Commander said.
“This guy is indeed far too arrogant. He actually dared to kill an elder of my Chasing Wind Sect and challenge the authority of the Sea Wind Empire.” The Chasing Wind Sect master said with a grim expression.
At that moment, the Yan City lord quickly arrived at the scene.
“Greetings, Qi Grand Commander.” After arriving, the city lord immediately bowed deeply to the Qi Grand Commander with utmost respect.
“City Lord, what exactly is this fellow’s background? I have lived this long, yet I have never seen anyone so brazen.” The Qi Grand Commander asked.
“I do not know either. Over the past few days, I thoroughly investigated intelligence reports, but I could find no information or records about him at all. He is simply an unknown nobody.” The city lord said.
Smiling, the city lord continued, “With the Qi Grand Commander and the sect master here in person, no matter who he is, he is certain to die today.”
At that moment, Lin Yun led Wen Jing out slowly through the main door of the inn.
Wen Jing followed timidly behind Lin Yun. She had never seen such a grand and intimidating scene, so of course she was worried.
Lin Yun, however, faced the thousands of troops with complete calm.
“Qi Grand Commander, Sect Master, it is him!” The city lord immediately pointed at Lin Yun.
Both the Qi Grand Commander and the sect master turned their gazes to Lin Yun and sized him up.
“I asked the Sea Wind Emperor to come. Which one of you is the Sea Wind Emperor?” Lin Yun said calmly.
The Qi Grand Commander stepped forward, his voice booming, “Insolent brat, you truly have a big mouth. The Sea Wind Emperor is not someone you are qualified to meet, let alone have him come in person. You dare to challenge the laws and authority of the Sea Wind Empire. Today, this grand commander will execute you on behalf of the Sea Wind Empire!”
“Alas, I gave you a chance, but you never cherish it.” Lin Yun shook his head and sighed.
“Qi Grand Commander, there is no need to trouble yourself personally against this unknown nobody. You can rest here. I will deal with him myself.” The Chasing Wind Sect master said.
“You should both come at once. It will save time.” Lin Yun said indifferently.
Everyone present was stunned.
Now it was the Chasing Wind Sect master and the Qi Grand Commander personally dealing with him, yet he still dared to act so fearlessly?
“You ignorant fool who does not know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth. To deal with you, this sect master alone is enough!”
The Chasing Wind Sect master shouted sternly, then drew his weapon and turned into a streak of light, instantly charging to kill Lin Yun. His Tribulation Crossing Realm aura burst forth without restraint.
“Let me show you the true power of this sect master!”
A red streak of light flashed through space, unleashing tremendous might. The space itself faintly trembled.
“As soon as the Chasing Wind Sect master attacks, he unleashes such powerful techniques!”
“Worthily the Chasing Wind Sect master. What a ferocious assault!”
The onlookers at the scene did not dare to blink. They could hardly imagine how Lin Yun would counter such a powerful attack.
