319: Reaching consensus
On the plains, as Lin Xiao suddenly made his move, the atmosphere, which had somewhat eased, instantly became stagnant again.
"Fellow Daoist, why go so far?"
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, and a figure appeared in front of Ouyang Jie, helping him resist the pressure while speaking.
"As Fellow Daoist said, this Vicious Beast will be handled by Wuji Palace."
The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Gu Ran. After he finished speaking, the pressure dissipated like a tide.
"Fellow Daoist Gu is truly wise."
Lin Xiao said indifferently, then looked around, raising an eyebrow.
"Everyone, do you still have any objections?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone present rolled their eyes. While they didn't speak outwardly, they began to complain wildly in their hearts.
Since you've said that, who would dare to speak? Didn't you see how dark Nine Realm Great Emperor Ouyang Jie's face was, yet he didn't utter a sound? How could they dare to speak?
Lin Xiao was currently in a fit of rage. Anyone who dared to retort would be no different from seeking death.
So, after a moment of silence, a figure was the first to speak.
"Palace Master Lin is right. We'll trouble Wuji Palace to deal with this fiend."
"Hmm?"
Seeing someone speak in agreement, Lin Xiao was also a little surprised. He subconsciously turned his gaze and met Jin Buhuan's eyes.
At this moment, the other party no longer had the unfamiliarity or politeness from their previous meeting. Instead, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded lightly at Lin Xiao.
After his Breakthrough, he had naturally heard from his Old Ancestor about Wuji Palace and Chao Tianxiang. Moreover, upon his arrival, he had just witnessed Lin Xiao taking out the Three Lights Divine Water to save his granddaughter and great-grandson.
These two incidents directly increased his goodwill towards Wuji Palace, which is why he spoke up now.
Facing the other party's goodwill, Lin Xiao also responded politely. After all, Jinmu Valley had indeed helped a lot on this trip. If Elder Liu Qing hadn't led Qin Wudao and the others to evacuate the battlefield, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
As the Sword Tower and Jinmu Valley both relented, the remaining powerhouses from various families exchanged glances for a moment before reluctantly expressing their agreement.
"Roar!"
Just as everyone reached a consensus, a heaven-shaking beast roar once again drew their attention.
They then saw that the giant Vicious Beast, which had been docile earlier, now had blood-red eyes, its wings flapping on its back, its body half-crouched, baring its fangs, seemingly ready to pounce at any moment.
"Hmph, can't wait to die, can you?"
Seeing this, Lin Xiao sneered, raising his right hand slightly towards the ground. The next moment, several faint lights flew up from various parts of the plain. One of them fell into his hand, while the others were put away.
As the faint light dissipated, a long staff instantly came into everyone's view. Complex Dragon patterns adorned it, and its entire body was silver. A powerful spiritual Qi fluctuation emanated from it. It was none other than Lin Xiao's Celestial White Jade Pillar.
Earlier, under the Vicious Beast's attack, it had been knocked down to the plains, but with a thought from Lin Xiao, this Supreme Emperor Weapon immediately returned to its master's side.
"Everyone, get back."
Seeing this, Zhu Rong and An Lan had already flashed into the distance, not forgetting to remind others.
"Be careful not to get caught in the aftermath."
Upon hearing this, the Great Emperors were stunned for a moment before reacting. Looking at the cold-faced Lin Xiao, they quickly turned and headed into the distance.
The other party was right; looking at his stance, the commotion that followed would definitely be significant. Staying put at this moment, if they were affected and injured, they would have nowhere to cry.
If it were any other person present, they might not be so cautious, but the person making the move now was Lin Xiao, who could not be compared to others.
The aftershocks caused by others' attacks might cause them some injuries, but this person's attack would truly be life-threatening.
Therefore, the many Great Emperors also very consciously retreated to a safe distance before stopping, and their spiritual Qi surged, ready to flee again at any time.
Lin Xiao didn't care whether others had retreated or not. At this moment, his eyes were entirely on the large Vicious Beast in front of him, and pure Killing Intent began to spread.
"Roar..."
Feeling this dense Killing Intent, the Vicious Beast's roar unconsciously lowered slightly. Its eyes, looking at Lin Xiao, were filled with fear and dread, and its massive paws began to slowly retreat.
When Lin Xiao raised his staff, the Vicious Beast could no longer hold back. It turned around, spread its wings, and flapped them forcefully, and its massive body disappeared into the smoke.
It ran?
The surrounding people who witnessed this were also stunned. What was going on? This Vicious Beast seemed quite arrogant earlier. It was a seventh-realm Vicious Beast after all, and it was fiercely aggressive just now, so why did it become such a coward so quickly?
At the same time, they couldn't help but click their tongues. How strong was this Palace Master Lin? Just by his Killing Intent, he scared a seventh-realm Vicious Beast into fleeing without a fight. It was incredible.
"Heh."
Looking at the billowing smoke in front of him, Lin Xiao chuckled, then unhurriedly took a step forward, and then his entire person disappeared from the spot, leaving only a soft murmur that seemed to whisper.
"Can you run away...?"
