213: Behemoth's Revenge

Below Mount Longhu.

Lin Yuan and Zhang Lingyu had just arrived at the foot of the mountain when they found large numbers of relevant departments maintaining order there.

The streets of the small town were already overcrowded.

Zhang Lingyu rubbed his eyes.

"Wait, what?! Where did this place come from? Is this still Mount Longhu? Why are there so many people?!"

Even Lin Yuan found it hard to believe how drastically the population of Mount Longhu had suddenly surged.

Lin Yuan then used the Heaven-Seizing Creation technique to disguise his and Zhang Lingyu's appearances before preparing to return to Mount Longhu.

Lin Yuan knew without thinking that these people must have come because of him.

Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, Lin Yuan received a call from Gao Lian.

"Hello? Gao Family Head? Is something the matter?"

"Immortal Master Lin Yuan!! I have something urgent I need to tell you!"

Lin Yuan heard the trace of anxiety in Gao Lian's tone and immediately frowned slightly.

As the Head of one of the Four Great Families, Gao Lian had weathered many storms; anything that could make his tone anxious must certainly be serious.

"My people in Sakura Country recently uncovered some news! Behemoth of the Lighthouse Country has already established contact with the Akatsuki organization, which manages the eccentric people in Sakura Country."

"The two sides seem to be plotting to target you! Moreover, I heard that your danger Rank has broken the highest level ever established since Behemoth was founded!"

"During this time, these people will definitely make a move! Do you think you should return to Mount Longhu to lay low for a while?"

"At least on Mount Longhu, the Old Celestial Master is present, along with all the Disciples of the Tianshi Mansion, guaranteeing your safety."

Lin Yuan rubbed his temples.

"Gao Family Head, thank you for the warning!"

If it were a normal person, they might return to their Sect immediately to seek protection, but Lin Yuan was no ordinary person, he was the Double-Flower Red Pole of Mount Longhu—would he be afraid?!

You must know! The greater the storm, the more valuable the fish!

The Lighthouse Country wants to persecute him, and Sakura Country wants to join the fun! Then let them fight!

Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Lingyu then.

"Senior Brother Lingyu, I still won't return to Mount Longhu. Please relay the news about Old Master Lu Jin to Master."

"Junior Brother! Don't overthink this. Master will definitely protect your safety with all his strength!"

"Everyone in the Tianshi Mansion, from top to bottom, will fully support you!"

Lin Yuan shook his head.

"Senior Brother, I don't want to bring trouble back to the Tianshi Mansion, nor do I wish for the Tianshi Mansion to provoke unnecessary trouble."

"You know that in terms of scale, Behemoth is similar to All-Kinds-Of, and now they're bringing the Akatsuki organization along. I caused this trouble, so I should be the one to end it."

"Then call Master right now and tell him what Senior Lu said. I'll stay here with you at the foot of the mountain! If the opposition wants to lay a hand on you, I, Zhang Lingyu, will be the first to object!"

Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Senior Brother, things won't escalate that quickly."

"First, the Company must negotiate with Behemoth. If the Company fails, only then will conflict erupt."

"In any case, everyone observes courtesy before resorting to force. If Behemoth wants to court death, then don't blame me."

"Moreover, when soldiers come, generals block; when water comes, earth covers. If Behemoth wants to compete in strength, only a handful of people in this world can harm me."

"If they want to compete in numbers, after wandering the Jianghu for so many years, I still have some friends."

"Besides the Tianshi Mansion, the Tang Clan, the Lu Family, the Gao Family, Wang Ye, Ma Xianhong... combined, I dare to take on Tokyo!"

However, what Lin Yuan was worried about was if Behemoth targeted them... then he truly would be powerless to save the situation.

Behemoth is an official power, after all; surely they won't be utterly without principles.

If they truly went mad, he couldn't just wipe out Behemoth the way he wiped out the Wang Family and the Lü Family, could he?

If he really destroyed Behemoth, the Lighthouse Country might genuinely pull out a move that sacrifices everything.

In the end, Lin Yuan decided not to return to the Tianshi Mansion for the time being, choosing instead to stay at the Tianxia Association for a period...

Just like that, Lin Yuan and Zhang Lingyu stayed at the Tianxia Association for two days. At the same time, Zhang Lingyu privately informed Wang Ye and the others about the impending joint sneak attack by Behemoth.

Wang Ye, Ma Xianhong, Zhuge Qing, Lu Lin, and others all rushed over.

One day, Lin Yuan suddenly received a phone call.

"I am Zhou Sheng. If you want news about Rootless Life, then come to Haidong City!"

Lin Yuan could indeed recognize Zhou Sheng's voice. He narrowed his eyes, wanting to ask for the exact location and details.

But the other party suddenly hung up.

"Zhou Sheng!? Why is he suddenly willing to tell me news about Rootless Life? That's strange."

However, thinking too much was useless; he would know once he went to see.

Without hesitation, Lin Yuan transformed into a bolt of lightning and headed toward Haidong City.

But what he didn't realize was that the person looking for him wasn't Zhou Sheng at all, but someone else...

At the seaside dock in Haidong City, under the dim moonlight.

At this moment, a large number of foreigners wearing diving suits gathered together, cautiously discussing something.

The man leading them, covered in robust muscles, turned his head and looked around.

"How is it? Has everyone arrived?"

"They've all arrived. I really don't know why one brat is worth mobilizing so many of us."

On the other side, a mature woman with white hair and a shapely figure, holding a short dagger, was untying a nearby rope.

"Mike, I watched the footage from Nasen Island. This guy named Lin Yuan is very powerful. With one sword strike, the aerial formation was instantly annihilated!"

"Hehehe, Amy, even if that kid is powerful, encountering us is his great misfortune! With the six of us from the Eternal Group mobilized, what does it matter if he's a Dragon of the Blue Star?"

The blonde man named Mike waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't forget, the source of our power isn't from the Blue Star; for Lin Yuan, this is a dimensional strike!"

"To kill Lin Yuan, I alone would be enough. Why mobilize six people simultaneously? Plus that bunch of trash from Sakura Country."

"And in the end, it's an ambush! Using such an extremely despicable method!"

"If anything happens, I'll undergo complete Fusion with the main body. One punch is enough to smash him to pieces."

Amy smiled.

"Alright, look at it from another perspective: let's just treat this as a vacation."

"That person named Qu Tong has successfully met up with those individuals from Sakura Country!"

"Everyone, this time! We must let Huaxia know! Provoking Behemoth will result in our endless pursuit, even on their own soil!!"

As she spoke, a streak of crimson liquid suddenly appeared in Amy's hand. This crimson liquid was as thick as oil, yet it seemed to possess life, continuously swimming back and forth...
