Seeing Lin An reply with a single word, this got him really excited.
Lin Dui, what did you see?!
Old Zhang's on his way!!
The earth shook and the mountains trembled.
These past few days, he has been rushing between the fortress and the outskirts of the Initial Land; now he opens up his speed, charging straight to the Initial Land like a human-shaped train.
After casually soothing Zhang Tie with a few words, Lin An calmly gazed at the numerous Ascetic Practitioners who were holding back, eager to attack.
He heard endless curses and threats in his ears.
He found it rather dull.
Originally...
I was still planning to let you go, after all, I already know how to complete this mission.
I originally intended to have fewer people die...
Recalling the pleading gaze of the first Ascetic Practitioner before death, Lin An let out a faint sigh.
He figured out the whole cause and also knew the past.
Besides the secret of this Secret Realm, the mystery of Shesha is still being speculated.
Everything else, he had figured out.
Ascetic Practitioners...
Heh, even the first Ascetic Practitioner has given up on you.
Just as he was about to erupt, the Grand Councilor standing on the outskirts suddenly interjected:
Honored Ascetic Practitioners, Lord Lin An has been inside for so long; perhaps let him rest first...
What qualifications do you have to speak?!
Before he could finish speaking, the Second Ascetic Practitioner floating in midair glanced at him sideways and rudely interrupted his words.
This is the Initial Land; what does it have to do with you?!
Rest?
He just went in, and I don't know what heretical method he used to stay in there for so long!
If he really saw something, he should share it right away!
Redeem yourself with merit!
Otherwise, wait for his insight to fade, and he'll forget...
Can you bear this responsibility?!
After saying that, the Second Ascetic Practitioner stared fixedly at Lin An's attire.
If not for a voice constantly telling him that the Lin An before him was indeed an Ascetic Practitioner, his reason would have certainly seized the strange-looking man before him first.
How could an Ascetic Practitioner rely on external objects?!
Could it be a disguise?!
Just thinking that Lin An might have gained more insight benefits than all of them, he wished he could split Lin An's skull open to see what's inside.
He has been stuck at this level for far too long.
The Grand Councilor, scolded mercilessly, had a grim expression.
He came to find Lin An under the Emperor's order.
But right now, the Ascetic Practitioners don't even regard him.
Or rather, even the Emperor's authority behind him is disregarded.
Clenching his fists silently, he could only look at Lin An with apology.
His Majesty told me to befriend you, but what should I do...
Hesitating.
The aura of the numerous Ascetic Practitioners overwhelmed everything; for a moment, the entire Initial Land bristled with drawn swords and readied bows.
But it was just Lin An alone facing all the Ascetic Practitioners.
