146: Lin You, volunteer!

Seeing the suspicious gazes cast by the crowd, Lin Cuihao said in a deep voice:

"This brat is spouting nonsense; everyone must absolutely not believe him!"

"I have been at Zhen Tian Pass for a long time. If I were colluding with the alien races, I would have already made my move. Why would I wait until now!"

"On the other hand, he just arrived at the Ancient Burial Ground, and the grand array was destroyed. That is far too coincidental!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd nodded repeatedly.

"Not bad... that makes some sense."

"If we really look into it, Lin You's suspicion is indeed greater."

"Hmm... let's listen a bit more."

The scales of suspicion began to tip. Lin You glared fiercely at Lin Cuihao, gritting his teeth.

"Alright!"

"Don't you want to know what I've been doing for the past three days?"

"Fine!"

"I'll tell you straight: I was beaten to the brink of death."

"For these past three days, I have been healing. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have already fallen halfway there!"

As his voice fell, the entire crowd was shocked.

Someone hurriedly asked what had happened.

Lin You pointed his spear directly at Lin Cuihao: "It was him, and those seven bastards standing with him! They ambushed me halfway!"

"I nearly died on the spot!"

"If the Demon Race hadn't suddenly invaded and interfered, I would have already lost my life."

The situation took a sharp turn.

The crowd once again turned their gazes toward Lin Cuihao and the others.

With a great war imminent, their sudden departure from Zhen Tian Pass was already suspicious, and now they were attacking their own kin.

They were even more inexcusable!

Wild Song twisted his neck: "Lin Cuihao, you had better give me an explanation. Earlier, you said that going out of the pass was just because you caught the scent of the Demon Race early."

"But why..."

"Was it to go out and kill people!"

"Could it be that you wanted to silence him?"

In an instant, everyone gasped.

Silencing him?

Could it be that Lin You saw him destroying the grand array?

Lin Cuihao and the others were locked onto by hundreds of auras, and a drop of cold sweat could not help but trickle down his forehead.

He simply decided to show his cards.

"Between Lin You and me, it is a private grudge!"

Wild Song did not let him get away with such a flimsy excuse: "What private grudge does the Lin Family have with Lin You? Why have I never heard of it?"

Lin Cuihao was immediately at a loss for words; he couldn't just spill the beans about the affairs of the War Department branch from back then.

That matter had passed for tens of thousands of years.

No one had paid attention to it for a long time. If the Lin Family were to specifically target Lin You for this now, it would inevitably raise suspicions. If it led to something else, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Thinking of this, Lin Cuihao pointed to the person from the Sima Family beside him.

"It's not the Lin Family!"

"It's the Sima Family!"

"My relationship with my Fellow Daoist from the Sima Family is very close. In the battle at the Dragon Court, Lin You killed them all without mercy. The Sima Family bore a grudge and wanted to ambush him halfway."

"Out of friendship for an old friend, I had no choice but to go along."

Immediately, the gazes of the entire crowd shifted again, falling upon the person from the Sima Family.

He had a head full of question marks. What the hell?

This buck-passing was truly fast. You, the Lin Family, wanted to make a move, and you want my Sima Family to lose face for it?

The Dragon Court was a dispute between Juniors; even if they hated him, they would only kill him openly and honestly.

This midway ambush, how is it any different from being a bandit?

Do they not want the reputation of a Longevity Family anymore?

"???" Seeing Lin Cuihao frantically winking, the person from the Sima Family felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit, and said in a muffled voice:

"Yes, yes... it is a private grudge of my Sima Family, and we wanted to ambush him halfway, which is why we called Fellow Daoist Lin along."

As his voice fell, the crowd clicked their tongues repeatedly.

In their hearts, they despised them ten thousand times over. A Longevity Family, indeed.

Bah!

Wild Song's gaze swept back and forth between Lin You and Lin Cuihao's group.

These few bastards... are they covering for each other?

Hiss...

Lin You spread his hands: "General Wild Song, surely you should believe me now."

"I am merely a small Cultivator of the Great Saint Realm."

"I just barely managed to save my little life under the hands of four Great Saint Peak experts and four Longevity Peak experts."

"Healing for three days, that's very reasonable, right?"

Wild Song's mouth twitched.

Reasonable? Reasonable your ass!

This is the most unreasonable part!

Which Great Saint Realm Cultivator can survive being surrounded by multiple people, crossing two cultivation realms?

It's pure bullshit.

And the higher the cultivation, the more troublesome the injury.

You've been at it for only three days and you're as strong as a calf; where are there any signs of being seriously injured or near death? Stop messing around!

However, although both sides had a private grudge, they could be considered to be testifying for each other.

Even though he, Wild Song, was currently in command of Zhen Tian Pass, it was difficult for him to speak out on such matters.

It was just that the matter of colluding with the alien races was like a needle stuck in his heart.

"Disperse, disperse."

"Once this matter leaves this door, do not mention it again!"

"All of you, keep your eyes peeled and watch the movements of the Demon Race closely. Whoever slacks off will be executed without mercy!"

The crowd dispersed in response.

But the looks they gave Lin You and Lin Cuihao's group were full of strange meaning.

Lin You also followed them out the door.

Just two steps out, he felt a cold aura coming from behind him.

He didn't even turn his head.

"Lin Cuihao."

"You didn't kill me... it's a pity for you, right."

"Tsk..."

"You had better pray day and night from now on, or... immediately flee back to the Longevity Lin Family."

"Otherwise, I have my eyes on you!"

Lin Cuihao's sneer rang out, and he led the Sima Family group past Lin You.

"An ant of the Great Saint Realm dares to speak such wild words."

"Do you really think..."

"That you can be this lucky every time?"

"A mayfly shaking a tree; as long as you don't enter the Longevity Realm, you will never be able to turn things around."

"This Ancient Burial Ground is the last scenery you will ever see!"

A cold glint flashed in the depths of Lin You's eyes.

As they brushed past each other, both sides had made up their minds to kill the other.

Lin You was taken by a soldier to his own private room.

In the darkness, he remained motionless.

The rare tranquility was just right for accumulating more savings for his external incarnation.

Seven more days...

Lin You sat upright in front of the bed; he suddenly looked up. From outside the pass, there came a heaven-shaking roar, and the desolate sound of a horn echoed in the Void Realm.

It echoed over and over, ringing out like an ancient bell.

It made one's hair stand on end!

Immediately following that, countless auras swept past the door, heading straight for the pass walls.

Lin You stood up abruptly.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the overwhelming Devilish Qi invading from in front of Zhen Tian Pass.

Wild Song stood alone with his blade upon the city wall!

Fighting two against one, two Ascension Realm Demon Cultivators, the battle was so intense the sky turned dark, and the Void Realm shattered!

Countless Cultivators joined the battlefield, which was like a meat grinder, one after another.

Never had Lin You's heart been more stirred than it was now...

This was a Great Wall piled up with human lives; even if they were strangers, even if... this All Heavens and Myriad Realms had nothing to do with them.

Yet these people were still holding their ground for a common belief!

For the Human Race!

For the family behind them, for the tens of millions of people behind them!

Even if they died in battle, they would not dare to retreat a single step!

"Kill!"

"Kill, kill!"

For some reason, Lin You couldn't help but roar at the sky.

He took a step out, escaped into the Void Realm, and arrived directly on the walls of Zhen Tian Pass.

The white tiger golden light sword in his hand whistled with the wind, emitting a brilliant golden light.

That domineering voice, still carrying a hint of lingering youth, echoed throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

"Lin Family's Lin You!"

"Requesting battle!"
