285: Suppressed casually, arrived at the Shenwu Sect

Facing this situation, the other party showed no sign of panic, completely devoid of any pretense of composure.

This indicated that the other party either failed to grasp the situation or possessed a deep confidence in himself.

But no matter how they looked at him, they felt he wasn't the former, leaving only the latter as a plausible explanation.

Yet, what trump card could a mere ascended from the lower realm possess to withstand so many powerful individuals? For a moment, a strange silence descended upon the scene.

The leading True Immortal Realm expert also frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes as he asked, "You're not afraid of me?"

Lin Yan calmly glanced at him and softly said, "Why should I be afraid?"

"Haha, truly interesting."

The Divine Martial Sect's True Immortal Realm expert grew even more curious, but he still answered Lin Yan's question from earlier, proudly stating, "I am a mid-stage True Immortal Realm cultivator, a squad leader in the Enforcement Hall."

After speaking, seeing no reaction from Lin Yan, he assumed the other party was intimidated and continued, somewhat smugly, "What, do you feel my strength exceeds your imagination?"

"That's right, you're just a lowly native of the lower realm, an inferior being, probably with no hope of reaching the Immortal Realm in this life!"

This wasn't him boasting; it was indeed the truth. Most ascendants from the lower realms couldn't break through to the Immortal Realm; only a select few with exceptional talent could defy the limitations.

However, Lin Yan's next words stunned him, making him doubt his own ears.

Lin Yan looked at the other party with a somewhat strange expression, then slowly said, "It did exceed my imagination. I never thought the True Immortal Realm would be so weak!"

Ah, this!

Big Yellow Dog and the others exchanged glances. These words sounded so provocative, yet they were delivered with such utter confidence that even the self-proclaimed King of Confidence admitted inferiority.

However, Lin Yan wasn't bluffing; he was responding very earnestly. He had originally thought the True Immortal Realm had transcended the mortal realm and should, by rights, be very strong.

But only after the other party said he was a mid-stage True Immortal did he realize that the first realm among these three Immortal Realms didn't seem as powerful as he had anticipated.

It could even be said to be pitifully weak, not much different from the Heavenly Dao of the lower realms.

Lin Yan now had a deeper understanding of his own strength; perhaps he would truly comprehend it only when he encountered a sufficiently powerful opponent.

What?

The Divine Martial Sect's True Immortal Realm expert began to doubt his life. What did he just hear? The other party actually thought the True Immortal Realm was weak?

"How dare you be so arrogant! Do you know what you're saying?"

He shouted loudly, his tone filled with fury, feeling immensely humiliated.

"Of course I know!"

As Lin Yan's words fell, a spiritual energy palm materialized out of thin air. The large hand swept across the sky, reaching out amidst the other party's shock and anger.

"How audacious!"

The True Immortal Realm expert was enraged to the extreme. His immortal aura surged across the heavens and earth as he unleashed a divine fist, intending to tear the large hand apart and make the other party understand what it meant when a powerful individual became enraged, leaving countless corpses in his wake.

But the next scene once again left him frozen in place, staring in disbelief.

He saw that the fully unleashed fist print landed on the large hand without causing the slightest ripple; instead, it disintegrated on its own.

The large hand directly seized his figure, and the aura of death rushed to his head, making him fully sober up.

Only at this moment did he realize why the other party had spoken such words earlier.

This level of strength, even Shi Zhenxiang, who was once the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, had never possessed; it was subtly, immeasurably stronger.

One must know that the reason Shi Zhenxiang was able to obtain that position was precisely because of his peak True Immortal Realm strength, which compensated for his lack of intellect.

"Senior, spare my life! This junior was ignorant and offended you. I beg you to spare me for the sake of the Divine Martial Sect!"

His body trembled violently as he pleaded for mercy.

At this sight, not only the Black Wolf King clan was stunned, but even the other accompanying Divine Martial Sect experts were dumbfounded and found it hard to accept.

Big Yellow Dog and the others, however, didn't react much; perhaps in their hearts, Lin Yan was synonymous with invincibility.

Even though this scene was shocking, it didn't cause much emotional fluctuation.

Lin Yan shook his head slightly. Indeed, this True Immortal Realm was too weak, so weak that it couldn't even withstand a casual strike from him.

His gaze was calm as he blandly said, "Since you said Shi Zhenxiang is no longer in his position, then who sent you to apprehend us?"

Hearing this, the True Immortal Realm expert's eyes flickered with hesitation, but as Lin Yan's grip tightened, the incomparably powerful pressure squeezed in, and he still chose to save his life first.

Therefore, he quickly spoke out, "It was Fifth Elder. He formed an alliance with the other elders."

"Not only did they dismiss Hall Master Shi, who was under Seventh Elder, but they also sent me to lead the sect members here to apprehend you, Senior!"

Only then did everyone realize. So, Shi Zhenxiang was merely a casualty in factional strife, an innocent victim, a pure unlucky fellow.

This also greatly reduced their anger towards him. Faced with such a situation, if he didn't speak, his life might not be spared, let alone daring to conceal matters of the lower realm.

"Oh?"

"Do you know what realm Fifth Elder is in?"

Lin Yan continued to ask, clearly not intending to let the matter rest easily.

Firstly, if this matter wasn't resolved, it would be as annoying as a fly.

Secondly, he wanted to use the other party's strength to verify his own thoughts, and even if something went wrong, he had prepared means of self-preservation.

The True Immortal Realm expert clearly hadn't expected the other party to ask this question. After pondering for a moment, he still honestly replied:

"I don't know the specifics too well, but I've heard rumors within the sect that Fifth Elder's strength should be in the mid to late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Whether that's true or not is not something a small fry like me can know."

Hearing this, Lin Yan nodded slightly. What the other party said was not far from his own conjecture. After calculating another divination, he decided to go to the Divine Martial Sect.

"Let's go. Take me to your Divine Martial Sect!"

He spoke calmly, but these words left the True Immortal Realm expert bewildered.

He had just said that Fifth Elder was a mid to late-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm expert, and Lin Yan still wanted to go trouble him? Wasn't that like lighting a lamp in a latrine, looking for trouble?

Although the strength displayed by the other party was extraordinary, the high-ranking members of the Divine Martial Sect held great power, and he didn't think the other party would be a match.

However, he had no choice, and if he took the other party back, he could not only complete his mission but also take revenge, which would kill two birds with one stone.

Immediately, he nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick, indicating his willingness to lead the way.

Thus, Lin Yan and his group, along with the Divine Martial Sect experts, left the Black Wolf Mountain Range, leaving only the Black Wolf King and his clan still in a daze on the ground.

Everything that had just happened was too surreal for them.

They had never imagined that, facing the Divine Martial Sect's apprehension, these people from the lower realm would not only be able to turn the tables but also proactively head to that terrifying, hegemonic sect.

Not long after, Lin Yan and his group, led by the True Immortal Realm expert, arrived outside a sect shrouded in immortal light and exuding a majestic aura.
