137: Chapter 137 That's My Master

Above, an old man stared at Lin Bei, his expression serious, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

However, his disheveled clothes and the half-eaten chicken leg in his hand seemed somewhat out of place.

"Eh? It's you?" Lin Bei immediately recognized the person and was greatly surprised.

Niu Ren, also astonished, had seen this old man with Lin Bei in a restaurant in Luoxia Town outside the Yin Yang Cave-Heaven.

"Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion!" Immediately, one person among the crowd flew before the old man and bowed in greeting.

It was Saint Tianyuan.

"Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion? This old man is the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! These old monsters have terrible tempers. Be careful, he might swallow you whole like that turtle!"

"No... no way..."

...

The disheveled old man glanced at Saint Tianyuan, said nothing, and turned back to look at Lin Bei.

"Tell me, will you regret it?"

Lin Bei stared at the old man, and after a long while, he smiled, "Senior is joking. The future is unpredictable. How can this Junior dare to say whether I will regret it later?"

A glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and he smiled, "Good, very good! If you had guaranteed with certainty that you wouldn't regret it, I might have killed you with a single palm strike!"

Damn it! Lin Bei slapped his thigh, wishing he could change his words immediately.

But with so many eyes on him, he could only give up.

"Tianyuan, go back and tell those little fellows that from today onwards, the Sacred Heart Mansion will be under the command of the Heavenly Court!" the old man continued.

"Wh-what?" Saint Tianyuan was stunned, thinking his ears were malfunctioning.

"The Sacred Heart Mansion will be under the command of the Heavenly Court. If anyone is unwilling, they can leave the Sacred Heart Mansion directly!" the disheveled old man repeated.

"Yes! Tianyuan will go back and notify them immediately!" The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion held absolute authority in the Sacred Heart Mansion, and Saint Tianyuan dared not question him in the slightest.

The sudden scene made everyone present look at each other in dismay.

Lin Bei was also stunned, not knowing what tricks the other party was up to.

"Senior, what is this?"

The disheveled old man changed his serious demeanor, actually passing directly through the Boundless Universe Array and arriving beside Lin Bei with a lewd smile.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you brat really know how to stir things up. This old man noticed you from the Eastern Wasteland. If I hadn't been delayed for a few months by something in the Central Continent, I would have come to find you long ago..."

Lin Bei was startled.

The Emperor Array had no effect on this old man?

A bitter smile appeared on his face, "Senior, you really played a cruel trick on Brother Niu and me in the Eastern Wasteland. With your cultivation, I wonder what could have delayed you for several months?"

"Uh... this..." The old man looked earnest, "You are still young, you don't need to know so much! The waters of this Ancient Desolate Continent are very deep..."

With that, the old man didn't give Lin Bei a chance to ask further, and suddenly flew directly towards Kunkun in the distance.

"Oh? This bird is good, it looks very plump!"

"F*ck!" The Fire Bird spat out a single word heavily and darted into the depths of the mountain range.

The old man smiled and slowly pursued.

"Senior, please show mercy! That is my spirit pet!" Lin Bei shouted urgently.

"Don't worry! This bird is too young, not much chewiness. But that ten-thousand-year-Old Turtle soup, this old man really wants to try..."

Damn it!

Old Turtle shivered and immediately found a pool to sink into.

It could feel that this old man was much stronger than itself!

Lin Bei looked at the old man's back, somewhat puzzled.

From his appearance, it seemed he planned to stay here indefinitely?

"Senior!"

As he spoke, the old man's voice came from afar, "Don't worry, I know the rules!"

Then, a Storage Pouch flew towards him.

Lin Bei reached out and took it. Upon inspection, it contained exactly three thousand fangyuan.

"This..." He was immediately dumbfounded.

However, from this, it could be seen that this incredibly powerful Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion probably bore no ill will.

"He must be a Great Saint..." he mused to himself.

Deep within the Heavenly Court, the Fire Bird was cornered by the old man in a secluded valley.

However, at this moment, it showed no fear; instead, it wore a brilliant smile.

"Old geezer, you've really lived long enough! I actually get to see you again in this life!"

"Hahaha..." The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion laughed heartily. He rarely had such happy moments.

"Old bird, in terms of lifespan, you're much older than me. Since you haven't died, why should I die first!"

"That's different!" The Fire Bird shook its head.

"Naturally, it's different..." The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion seemed to understand the meaning in its words, "I was also able to cling to life until now with the help of others. Do you think everyone can live as long as that Old Turtle?"

"Oh? Who is it!?" Kunkun was extremely surprised.

"When the time comes, you will naturally know," the old man shook his head, unwilling to say more, "Your situation... do you need my help? You've even fallen to being someone else's spirit pet..."

"Bah! What 'someone else'! That is my Revered Master!"

...

At the mountain gate, Lin Bei waited for a moment, and only when he sensed that Kunkun was fine did he completely relax.

He turned to look at the Cultivators outside the mountain, "Everyone, the Heavenly Court's recruitment ends here. I won't keep you for dinner, please leave..."

"Bah! If it weren't for that evil turtle, we would have left long ago!" Many people secretly grumbled.

Not long after, everyone dispersed one after another, and they would inevitably spread the news of Lin Bei establishing the Heavenly Court throughout the entire Ancient Desolate Continent.

One day later, the nine Saints of the Sacred Heart Mansion jointly moved the entire Sacred Heart Mansion into the Tianduan Mountains, officially becoming a force under the Heavenly Court.

Those Prodigies who had bought sacred heart tokens to join the Sacred Heart Mansion were practically in tears.

After all that, they had become unofficial members of the Heavenly Court!

With Shudao Mountain and the Sacred Heart Mansion joining, although the Heavenly Court was newly established, its overall strength could be said to be no less than any Imperial Dynasty Holy Land.

Lin Bei was very satisfied with this, "If I'm not mistaken, the faster the Heavenly Court's strength develops, the faster the power that causes the Heavenly Court's destruction in each epoch will arrive!"

Thinking of this, he unhesitatingly waved his hand, separating a hundred enlightenment tea trees and three source eyes of creation from his Portable Space.

Then his voice spread throughout the Heavenly Court.

"The Heavenly Court has just been established! Everyone, do not go out looking for trouble. Stay here and Cultivate diligently! Drink more tea and take more baths when you have nothing to do!"

"Drink tea? Take baths?" Everyone was puzzled and flew out of their residences.

"Wh-wh-what the f*ck! enlightenment tea? Am I seeing things?"

"Over there is... the legendary creation source liquid that can cleanse one's Foundation? No! It's the source eye of creation!"

...

Lin Bei simply ignored these overly surprised fellows and summoned Chen Ping.

"Revered Master!"

Lin Bei nodded, and a single sentence immediately left Chen Ping speechless.

"Your Revered Master is old. From now on, the Heavenly Court will be handed over to you to manage..."

Chen Ping rolled his eyes. His Revered Master wasn't much older than him; this was clearly an attempt to be a hands-off manager.

"Revered Master, you jest! Your disciple does not have the ability to manage those stubborn ones!"

Lin Bei pointed a finger, and immediately, the method of controlling the Extreme Dao Gate was transmitted into Chen Ping's mind.

"With this method, apart from that Old Turtle and the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion, you can deal with those stubborn ones as you please!"

"Revered Master..."

Chen Ping still wanted to refuse.

"Well... in a while, I'll take you to the Great Xia Dynasty to propose marriage!"

"Revered Master, your disciple will definitely do well!"

Lin Bei nodded with satisfaction, and with a movement of his body, arrived at the back garden of the Heavenly Court.

This was a Forbidden Ground designated by Luo Qingcheng and the other girls; other Heavenly Court Cultivators were not allowed to come here.

"Eh? Sister Xiaobo seems to be in low spirits?"
