Chapter 519: Deliberately Provoking Trouble

Shi You wore a smile on his face, while the others, though silent, also knew the reason behind it.

After all, the news that Long Aotian had led a group of children to the Heavenly Immortal Realm had spread like wildfire and was long no secret.

One only needed to inquire to learn that those children were all due to Lin Bai.

Most importantly, even Shi You had been unable to unravel that technique; it was Lin Bai who had personally undone it.

Of course, this undoubtedly added even more to Lin Bai's reputation.

"You are Lin Bai."

Of the four standing opposite Lin Bai, one looked at him with an air of arrogance.

In his eyes, this Lin Bai was nothing special.

"Are your ears broken? Didn't I say I would fight you? Didn't you hear just now?"

Lin Bai asked calmly, clearly not taking the other's words to heart.

He even felt the other had said too much.

"Brothers, let us teach him a proper lesson."

After hearing Lin Bai's words, the group exchanged glances before charging toward him.

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow, then realized that all four were using their ultimate moves from the start.

Had this been anyone else, they would likely be dead or crippled.

This made Lin Bai frown; the other party was clearly aiming to injure him.

Moreover, recalling what the other had just said, it seemed entirely targeted at him; could someone have hired them to teach him a proper lesson?

Thinking this, Lin Bai frowned again, then glanced toward the spectator stands outside the city.

When Lin Bai's gaze landed on Long Aotian in the stands, he instantly understood everything.

He saw the other looking at him with a smile on his lips; even upon noticing Lin Bai's gaze, the other shot him a provocative look.

Lin Bai only thought the other foolish; relying on these few to injure him was nothing short of a joke.

Lin Bai did not mind showing the other his Reincarnation Technique once more.

Letting the other recall the fear from back then.

As the group approached, the corner of Lin Bai's mouth slowly curled upward, and a formation instantly appeared beneath their feet.

Most importantly, all their attacks were dodged by Lin Bai.

At this moment, their attempt to escape proved exceptionally difficult.

Soon, the group showed signs of fear; moreover, their bodies began to change.

The few began frantically attacking the formation in an attempt to get out, yet their strength grew ever weaker.

They could only watch in terror as Lin Bai outside the formation sat leisurely on the ground to rest.

Everyone present was slightly stunned by this scene, while Long Aotian, seated in the stands, frowned upon seeing Lin Bai use this move.

"Yes, yes, this is it, this is it..."

Shi You, watching everything unfold in the arena, wore a face full of excitement; he never expected to have the honor of witnessing his master's skill.

He would surely remember it well to study carefully upon his return.

When Long Zhenzhong saw this scene, he too could not help but frown.

Soon, everyone present was frozen in shock, for Lin Bai had directly turned them into children of five or six years old.

Even smaller than the disciples of the Dragon Cave Valley had become back then; after shrinking, fear appeared in their eyes, completely erasing their previous demeanor.

Most importantly, all the techniques within their bodies were now fully controlled, rendering them utterly unusable.

They watched in terror as Lin Bai walked step by step toward them, yet their own hands possessed no power to resist.

Afterwards, Lin Bai squatted down and approached the man who had just questioned him.

"What do you want to do?"

Fortunately, they had not lost their ability to speak.

Seeing Lin Bai lift him up, the man could not help but feel a hint of fear.

"Speak: who sent you?"

"No, more accurately, who hired you?"

"What did he have you do?"

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow; although he already had an answer in mind, he was not entirely certain.

So he still wanted to confirm it with the group, after all, to avoid punishing the wrong person later.

"We took someone's money and cannot tell you; that is the rule of the road."

Hearing Lin Bai's words, the other lifted his chin, showing a bit of backbone.

"Very well, then you few shall remain in this state; in the future, you will likely only be able to stay this way."

"Of course, unless you can find someone to turn you back."

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow, then placed the other on the ground, turned, and prepared to leave.

After all, this competition had ended; he had unquestionably advanced to the top thirty, so looking at those before him, Lin Bai sneered.

He then glanced toward the stands, yet failed to spot Long Aotian; however, whether the other was actually there or not, Lin Bai did not care.

"Oh, by the way, let me remind you once more: even Sect Master Shi You cannot undo this."

Just as Lin Bai was about to exit the competition arena, he suddenly turned, looked at the four behind him, and offered a kind reminder.

It was merely to tell them that since Shi You could not undo it, they would have to beg him.

But if they wished to beg him, they must speak the truth.

Otherwise, he would not turn them back to their original forms.

Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, the four indeed showed fear on their faces, eyeing one another.

"Then let's just tell him it won't work."

"How can we do something against morality?"

"But if we don't tell him, then we have to keep this up forever."

"I heard that the disciples of the Dragon Cave Valley had the same issue a while back; their Sect Master even begged Sect Master Shi, but he couldn't solve it. Are you sure we can find someone more powerful than Sect Master Shi?"

Soon someone revealed the reason, and at that moment, they only felt that taking this job was truly too painful.

In the past, even if they failed, at worst they would just strain a tendon, break a bone, or suffer some superficial wounds.

But now they had run into a troublemaker like Lin Bai, which left them in great difficulty; moreover, after hearing what this person said, they knew his words were very reasonable, yet their hearts remained extremely conflicted.

And Lin Bai was not in a hurry, quietly watching these three people.

"Forget it; if you won't say it, I will."

"Anyway, I don't want to keep begging like this."

Seeing the others hesitating, one of them decided to stop worrying about them.

Instead, he strode forward toward Lin Bai.

The other three, seeing this, hurriedly followed, for at such a time, what did morality matter? If they went out in this state, their former enemies would surely not spare them and would definitely find ways to kill them; they must survive now.
