678: So what?

The news of Thunder failing in his pursuit and instead fleeing with injuries quickly spread throughout the entire High-Level Spacetime.

Everyone was shocked!

Not to mention Thunder's identity as the Sixth Elder of Chu Country, someone almost no one dared to provoke.

Even his strength alone meant that only a handful of people in the entire High-Level Spacetime could injure him.

And those who could injure him would, to some extent, consider his status, making a direct confrontation with him almost impossible.

Yet, today, Thunder escaped from above the Yao Sea, with a shocking blood-hole pierced in his back.

This was simply earth-shattering!

"That Lin Yang, he just broke through to the Dao Tribulation Realm not long ago, then he snatched a supreme Dao weapon from Chu Country, and now even Thunder is not his opponent...?"

"My heavens, that kid is going to cause a huge upheaval in Chu Country!"

"I feel like he's finished. Snatching a supreme Dao weapon and injuring Thunder—this is an utter humiliation for Chu Country. Given Chu Country's way of doing things, it's likely to provoke the other elders to jointly pursue and kill him!"

People were extremely shocked.

They also had a premonition that a world-shaking major event was about to unfold in the entire High-Level Spacetime.

The major countries have stood in the High-Level Spacetime for countless years, and ordinarily, almost no one dared to challenge their authority.

But Lin Yang forcefully snatched a supreme Dao weapon from Chu Country and injured an elder of Chu Country.

This was no longer just a simple provocation; this was practically a declaration of war!

Chu Country would definitely be enraged!

...Inside Lanlou Country.

Wan Fei and the others were already stunned!

"Your Excellency Lin Yang... he actually severely injured Thunder?!"

Both Wan Fei and the First Elder Heavenly Balance, as well as the other elders, were all incredibly shocked.

This matter was too astonishing.

Lin Yang being able to make Thunder flee for his life meant he likely possessed the strength to kill Thunder.

And being able to kill an elder was no small matter.

Because currently, in the entire Lanlou Country, setting aside the Country Lord, apart from the First Elder Heavenly Balance, the other elders would probably mostly not be Lin Yang's opponents.

This was too alarming!

Because... "Even with a generous estimate, it hasn't been even a hundred thousand years since Your Excellency Lin Yang entered the High-Level Spacetime, and he's already stronger than us. This is simply..."

The Second Elder Yan Hao and the others were all completely speechless, looking at each other.

The last time they saw Lin Yang, he was only undergoing his Dao Tribulation.

But now, not long after passing his Dao Tribulation, he was already so powerful, which left them speechless with shock.

Suddenly.

Wan Fei's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Your Excellency Lin Yang has arrived at our Lanlou Country."

"Oh? He's here?"

Heavenly Balance and Yan Hao's expressions also changed, then they said, "Then let us go and welcome him."

They all understood Lin Yang's intention in coming to Lanlou Country in an instant, but none of them refused; instead, they were extremely welcoming.

A powerful expert like him, wielding a supreme Dao weapon and possessing such immense strength, was worth every effort to win over!

Although Lin Yang had never said he would join Lanlou Country, from the current situation, he already had an inseparable relationship with their Lanlou Country, so everyone was very happy that Lin Yang could come at this time.

This could further deepen the intimacy between the two sides.

As for offending Chu Country?

They didn't care!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

The figures of several people simultaneously vanished from their original spots, appearing at the edge of Lanlou Country to welcome Lin Yang.

Upon his arrival, Your Excellency Lin Yang was also somewhat surprised to see everyone, including the First Elder Heavenly Balance, welcoming him.

However, he didn't think much of it and cupped his fists, saying, "This time, I'm going to cause trouble for all of you."

Heavenly Balance immediately laughed heartily, "Your Excellency Lin Yang, what are you saying? For you to think of coming to our Lanlou Country at such a critical moment, that is our honor!"

"That's right, Lin Yang, you don't need to be polite. You can stay in our Lanlou Country for as long as you wish!" Wan Fei also added.

"Then I won't say any more polite words." Lin Yang cupped his fists again and entered the Lanlou Country's capital with Wan Fei and the others.

Here, a courtyard had already been prepared for his stay.

After some polite exchanges, Heavenly Balance and Wan Fei remained alone.

Lin Yang looked at them, somewhat hesitantly asking, "If I stay here, will Chu Country attack your territory?"

He was actually a bit worried about this issue.

If Chu Country attacked the ordinary people of Lanlou Country, then he definitely couldn't continue to stay.

Although he wasn't a saint, he wouldn't let ordinary people bear Chu Country's wrath because of him.

Upon hearing this, Wan Fei immediately laughed, "Your Excellency Lin Yang, you don't need to worry about that. If they dare to attack us, then we will also attack them. It's just a fight."

As he spoke, Wan Fei even rubbed his hands, saying with a hint of anticipation:

"I actually hope Chu Country makes a move. Now that we have you, Your Excellency Lin Yang, and Thunder is severely injured, if we fight, Chu Country will definitely suffer a loss!"

"Who knows, we might even take the opportunity to eliminate one or two of their elders!"

He looked at Lin Yang, his eyes burning.

...Lin Yang was momentarily speechless.

This warmonger, Wan Fei... actually wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate Chu Country's elders?

He really dared to think big!

Heavenly Balance also smiled faintly, "Your Excellency Lin Yang, you don't need to think too much. We and Chu Country already have many grievances. It's best if they make a move. Of course, I think given the current situation, they probably wouldn't dare to start a war with us, so you can stay here with peace of mind."

Lin Yang then said no more and settled down.

The next day, Xuan Yu and the others came to pay their respects.

This time, their posture was even lower, and their attitude even more respectful and reverent.

After all, Lin Yang was an existence who could severely injure even Chu Country's Sixth Elder, and his strength was beyond their imagination.

Of course, while feeling awe, their hearts also grew increasingly excited. With such a powerful backer, they didn't know how many benefits they could gain!

After seeing off Xuan Yu and the others, Lin Yang immediately paid attention to the situation on Chu Country's side.

Apart from the First Elder Zhen Sheng, the other elders had simultaneously emerged from seclusion.

Only one night had passed, and there was no indication of their intentions; it was unknown what they were plotting.

Another day passed.

Apart from Thunder, who was healing, Chu Country's Second Elder Xu Shan Cang, Third Elder Suo Gu, Fourth Elder Yi Mi, and Fifth Elder Xiang Yuning simultaneously appeared in Chu Country.

Vast Dao power permeated, and immense pressure spread, radiating towards the Chu Country capital, while a stern voice echoed:

"Heavenly Balance, hand over Lin Yang, otherwise today, we shall enter the capital and fight."

"You all will bear the consequences!"

With a whoosh.

Heavenly Balance and Yan Hao, along with several other elders, instantly appeared in mid-air, gazing at them from afar.

Heavenly Balance immediately sneered:

"Just you few, you want to fight in our Lanlou Country's capital? Aren't you perhaps a little too overconfident?"

"As for Your Excellency Lin Yang, he is an esteemed guest of our Lanlou Country. Until he leaves, he enjoys all the protection of our Lanlou Country. We have no custom of handing over our esteemed guests!"

Xu Shan Cang, as Chu Country's Second Elder, was the undisputed leader this time, and his eyes immediately turned cold:

"Heavenly Balance, so you're saying your Lanlou Country is determined to protect that little thing?"

"And what if we are?"

Heavenly Balance responded lightly. (End of Chapter)
