85: Suicide squad!

The Old Ancestor of Wandering Dragon Cave, who was previously strutting about, shuddered upon hearing this.

He dared not turn around.

That voice, however, felt as deeply etched into his Soul as if it were carved there.

Looking at the playful gazes of the crowd, the Old Ancestor of Wandering Dragon Cave swallowed with difficulty.

"Big Brother is here... What should I do?"

But so many people were watching; the tiny bit of authority he had just established these past few days...

If he backed down now, he would lose a lot of Face!

The Old Ancestor of Wandering Dragon Cave took a deep breath and pointed at the magnificent palace stretching for ten thousand miles before him.

His heart was in turmoil.

"I've put in so much effort, Big Brother should at least give me some Face, right?"

Thinking of this, Old Ancestor Fan Rui of Youlong Cave coughed, acting as if he had noticed nothing.

He spoke to himself.

"Who is speaking?"

"Do you have the strength to talk to me one-on-one?"

"In the Sixth-Rank Star Domain, there is only one person who can talk to me one-on-one."

"My Big Brother, Lin You!"

"Nonsense!"

After saying this, Fan Rui turned around inadvertently and saw Lin You in that instant.

A smile immediately piled onto his Face.

"Oh!"

"Big Brother, you're here."

Lin You raised an eyebrow and swept his gaze over the crowd present.

He saw through every little thought of Old Ancestor Fan Rui of Youlong Cave.

Fine.

Wanting Face.

Sure!

Lin You stepped forward cordially and hooked his arm around the other's shoulder.

"Tsk, you've worked hard during this time."

Just this one sentence.

Fan Rui, who had lived for thousands of years, felt his eyes instantly moisten.

Everyone else cast astonished gazes.

"Damn... This guy actually has such a close relationship with Lin You."

"Grasshopper Lord... A second Big Brother is about to emerge in the Sixth-Rank Star Domain."

"Wait, really? When did Lin You become so amiable? I was in the Mengpo Star Domain before, and just from a single encounter, he almost hacked me to death."

"Nonsense! You went there to kill people; would he chat with you if he didn't hack you?"

"You should be happy that your head is still on your neck."

One lives a life.

For what?

In the end, it's just two things.

Face and substance.

He had lived for thousands of years, as one of the old-school hegemon powers in the Sixth-Rank Star Domain.

He didn't lack substance.

He also had self-awareness; he was considered a Genius when he was young, but looking at the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, he didn't even count as a hair.

What did he want?

Wasn't it just for Wandering Dragon Cave to prosper and be superior wherever they went?

Once, there was Phoenix Mountain Villa, the Su Family, and various hegemon powers on equal footing with him.

Now, just because of one word from Lin You.

From now on, Wandering Dragon Cave would be the top dog in the Sixth-Rank Star Domain!

As the saying goes, "To repay the kindness on the golden platform, I would carry my jade dragon and die for you!"

Fan Rui gripped Lin You's wrist tightly, his wrinkled eyes unable to stop from moistening.

"Big Brother is joking."

"This is all what I should do!"

"With me holding down the Baoyou Alliance for you, as long as Big Brother says the word, I will get everything done for you!"

Lin You nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately after, Fan Rui led him away from the crowd.

Under Lin You's astonished gaze, in a deserted corner.

With a thud.

This Old Ancestor who had lived for thousands of years knelt on the ground.

"Brother."

"There were too many people outside just now, so I knelt for you."

"I want Face, but please do not take it out on the young and old of Wandering Dragon Cave. Once this matter is concluded, I will disappear."

Fan Rui looked sincere, his tone almost begging.

The corner of Lin You's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"What do you mean by this?"

"Making it seem like I'm going to kill your whole family; am I that fierce?"

"I have always convinced people with virtue."

"A sage in the Myriad Realms once said, 'The Analects'."

The words fell into Fan Rui's ears, and immediately, scenes of the Sixth-Rank Star Domain flowing with blood appeared in his mind.

Phoenix Mountain Villa... Su Family... Wei Family...

And countless old-school powers.

All of them were almost wiped out by you, silent as cicadas in winter.

You even dared to kill people from the Longevity Family, and you say you aren't fierce?

The Analects?

Tsk... It's probably 'swinging your arms to talk to you'.

So-called 'Swinging Language'!

That sage truly had a way, knowing deeply that fists are the hard truth!

Thinking of this, Fan Rui's heart sank to the bottom; what Face did he need? If he offended Lin You, could he even survive in the Sixth-Rank Star Domain?

"Lin You."

"I..."

Halfway through his sentence, he saw Lin You raise his hand.

Fan Rui immediately closed his eyes; resistance was useless, he was simply no match!

"Alright."

"I promised you."

Lin You helped the other up, waved his hand indifferently, and turned to leave.

"Don't think of me, Lin You, as a Devil Head, so petty that I'd kill your whole family over two sentences."

"I said you are in charge of the Sixth-Rank Star Domain, so you are in charge."

"I am very reassured leaving it to you."

"I'm leaving."

In the void.

Only one figure receded further and further away.

Fan Rui watched that young figure and secretly clenched his fists.

He must help Big Brother build the entire Sixth-Rank Star Domain into a vital force!

Mengpo Star Domain.

The Lin Family.

Lin You arrived at the front of the mansion; it was so quiet inside that one couldn't even hear breathing.

He curled his lip and pushed open the gate.

—Boom.

A shocking wave of Qi soared into the sky.

Immediately after, the Eighth Elder's hearty and unrestrained laughter resounded throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"I've broken through!"

"I've finally reached the True Immortal Realm!"

"Little Six, come over and greet your Eighth Lord!"

Lin You looked on, dumbfounded, as a figure rushed out from the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, wantonly displaying his extraordinary power.

The strength of his cultivation was earth-shaking.

And immediately after, the resentful voice of the Sixth Elder, the Eighth Lord's frenemy, rang out.

"What are you yelling about?"

"You were only a tiny bit faster!"

"I will break through in at most half a month. Old Eight is just Old Eight; you want to be the Lord? Maybe in your next life!"

The Eighth Lord grinned, standing in front of the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, strutting about.

"On the path of Cultivation, the one who achieves first is the Senior."

"I've reached the True Immortal Realm, so I am the Senior!"

"You don't know a thing!"

"Come out and pay your respects!"

The Sixth Elder cursed and swore, and the moment his voice came out, a figure rushed into the void and began wrestling with the Eighth Elder.

"Screw you."

"Looking for a beating!"

Until half an incense stick of time had passed.

The Eighth Elder stood in front of the door, sporting a pig-head Face, complaining aggrievedly.

"Big Brother!"

"I was holding back my strength; this bastard really tried to kill me!"

"Please uphold justice for me, Big Brother!"

The Sixth Elder was extremely smug, arms crossed, Face full of triumph.

He knew for sure that Old Eight wouldn't dare to actually attack, so he just swung his arms and slapped him.

He wanted to let this younger brother know what seniority meant!

Just like himself; when he was young, he hadn't been beaten less by the older brothers ahead of him.

"Alright, alright."

"How old are you both? Aren't you ashamed?"

"Be careful that Youer sees you and laughs."

Lin Tao's voice came from inside the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land; he opened his eyes, and his cultivation had improved even further compared to that day.

Reminded by Big Brother.

Everyone finally noticed Lin You's presence.

Because his current Peak Profound Immortal Realm cultivation, if he didn't want to be noticed, ordinary people simply couldn't detect him.

Lin Tao smiled, came to Lin You, squeezed his arm, and patted his shoulder twice.

He sighed long and hard before speaking with concern.

"Good lad, you've improved."

"Where have you been for this time?"

"This cultivation... Tsk, even your uncle cannot see through it at all."
