“I will consider it carefully. You may withdraw first.” Lin Yun said to Zou Dongsheng.
After Zou Dongsheng left, Lin Yun also began to ponder whose hand this anonymous letter might have come from.
Lin Yun thought for a long while but could not arrive at any conclusion.
After weighing the advantages and disadvantages, Lin Yun still decided to make the trip.
Even if it truly might be some scheme by the Dao Alliance or the six great powers.
The meeting place was, after all, in the Ancestral Heart Realm. Lin Yun was not afraid of any tricks the other side might attempt.
Moreover, Lin Yun’s strength and methods were no empty boast.
Five days later, the day specified in the anonymous letter arrived.
Ancestral Heart Realm, Giant Tooth Canyon.
Lin Yun appeared in the sky above the canyon.
This place was not especially far from the Immeasurable Heavenly Palace. At Lin Yun’s speed, it was only about an hour away.
Today, as the anonymous letter had instructed, Lin Yun had come alone.
After arriving in the air, Lin Yun first released his divine sense to probe the Giant Tooth Canyon thoroughly.
“Surprisingly, no one is here?”
From Lin Yun’s probing, let alone any traps in the Giant Tooth Canyon, he did not even detect a single human figure.
The next moment.
The space in front of Lin Yun rippled, and suddenly a figure in white robes condensed into being.
Lin Yun recognised him at a glance: Su Ziao of Qingyu Palace!
Back when Lin Yun was still a death servant of the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall, during a demon hunt on the border where they encountered a beast tide, this Supreme Su Ziao had appeared and driven back the demon clan.
Including the previous attack on the Immeasurable Heavenly Palace by the Dao Alliance and the six great powers, he had been among them, standing on the side of the Dao Alliance leader.
And Lin Yun could tell that this was not his true body descending, but merely a condensed illusory projection.
When Lin Yun saw him, shock still surged uncontrollably in his heart.
What was he doing here? Even if it was only a condensed illusory projection, it put Lin Yun on guard.
“Lin Yun, allow me to introduce myself. I am Su Ziao, Palace Master of Qingyu Palace in the Dao Alliance. The anonymous letter was indeed written by me.” Su Ziao spoke.
“Senior Su Ziao, I know who you are.” Lin Yun said.
“I was among those who attacked your Immeasurable Heavenly Palace last time. It is no surprise that you recognise me. Moreover, everyone says you are extremely arrogant, yet I did not expect you to still address me as senior. This surprises me quite a bit.” Su Ziao remarked with feeling.
Lin Yun said, “I call you senior because you once left an idol-like impression in my heart. It is a pity that you are merely a pawn of the Dao Alliance.”
Back then, in the border mountains, when Lin Yun had seen Su Ziao in the sky, he had indeed regarded him as an idol-like existence.
Su Ziao laughed. “Oh? I could become an idol to you, Lin Yun? This surprises me even more. I do not believe I have met you before. May I ask where this comes from?”
“This is no longer important. Since the anonymous letter came from you, and since you invited me here, there must be a reason or some purpose. And since you have only condensed an illusory projection to appear here, I presume it is not to deal with me?” Lin Yun said calmly.
“You are a clever man. Since you are already here, shall we find a spot in the canyon and have a talk?” Su Ziao said.
“I have no objection. You may lead the way.” Lin Yun replied readily.
The other party had descended only as an illusory projection. Lin Yun had already probed the canyon and found nothing unusual. Naturally, he felt no fear.
“Let us go.”
Su Ziao immediately dove down towards the canyon below.
Lin Yun quickly followed.
Giant Tooth Canyon. Beside a small stream, a huge rock rose from flat ground, surrounded by beautiful scenery.
Su Ziao and Lin Yun landed on the huge rock. A gentle breeze swept through the canyon, quiet enough to hear birdsong from deep within and the gurgling flow of the stream.
“Sit.”
After making an inviting gesture, Su Ziao sat cross-legged directly on the huge rock.
Lin Yun also sat down directly, about ten metres away from Su Ziao.
“Lin Yun, I rather admire your courage. In this special period, under unclear circumstances, you truly dare to come alone to keep the appointment based solely on an anonymous letter.” Su Ziao said with a faint smile.
Su Ziao had naturally probed as well. Lin Yun had brought no one; he had come entirely alone.
“You invited me here. What exactly is your purpose? Please speak plainly. You should be aware that we are currently enemies.” Lin Yun said.
“What do you think my purpose might be in coming here? Take a guess.” Su Ziao looked at Lin Yun with a smiling expression.
