15: Lin Sheng arrives, causing commotion in the imperial city

Baili Fengming originally thought that the next moment would be her humiliation.

She had also fantasized that some powerful cultivator might appear to stage a heartwarming hero saving the beauty.

But she never expected.

Before she could even react, the distant Ye Liufeng, as if sensing some terrifying aura, swiftly shot into the sky with a "whoosh"!

As if trying to escape!

But there seemed to be an invisible, irresistible powerful force.

Pulling him back to the ground in an instant!

Boom!!

The violent sound stunned everyone present!

What's going on?

What happened all of a sudden!?

Ye Liufeng, who had fallen into the dirt pit, struggled to stand up, but everyone clearly saw.

No matter how he gritted his teeth, no matter how he strained until his face turned red, there was always an invisible force suppressing him, preventing him from getting up.

A fresh and pleasant warm breeze blew from the north, pushing all the clouds in the sky southward.

Everyone looked up at the northern sky and realized that at some point, a white-robed young man with a graceful bearing had appeared in the sky.

The young man had black hair and black eyes, and he was exceptionally handsome and charming.

His white robe fluttered in the wind, like an immortal banished from heaven.

Behind him, it seemed as if invisible gods and buddhas were arrayed, making everyone feel an inexplicable sense of awe when looking at him.

Seeing such a figure appear, the people below couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"There's someone in the sky!"

"Oh my god! Who is that!? His aura is so powerful!?"

"Is he the one suppressing Ye Liufeng? He doesn't look very old, does he? He even seems a bit younger than Ye Liufeng?"

"Ahhhhhhh~~~ So handsome!"

"Does our Cloud Continent have such a remarkable talent? Why was there no news before?"

"......"

The person who arrived was none other than Lin Sheng.

Although he didn't possess Chen Nanzhi's "Great Dream Wandering Technique," which allowed her to go wherever she pleased, he had a technique called "Thought Chasing Light" within his self-taught "Carefree Sword Control Art."

Its speed was incredibly fast!

This was also why he was able to arrive here in just a few dozen breaths of time.

And at this moment, another choice appeared before him.

【A powerful individual is approaching with hostility, causing you to feel restless all over, so you decide——】

【A: Flee in panic.】

【B: Immediately kneel down.】

【C: Resist with all your might.】

【D: Humbly beg the other party to spare you.】

'This is the first time I've been in a Heavenly Mandated Protagonist's choice scenario...'

'It feels quite strange.'

Lin Sheng thought, if that's the case, couldn't he cooperate with the system to put on an engaging double act?

D!

"This option might bring more collapse value..."

After making his choice, he looked down and reduced the spiritual pressure he was exerting on Ye Liufeng.

In the worldview of "stars against the heavens."

The difference in major realms was like a chasm!

Cultivators of higher realms could even suppress lower-realm cultivators to the point where they couldn't fight, just by using basic spiritual pressure!

Even the nine most astonishing and talented Heavenly Mandated Protagonists in the original work could only achieve victory by crossing minor realms with a weaker cultivation, and none could achieve victory by crossing major realms.

Therefore, Ye Liufeng, who was merely at the God King, had no ability to contend with Lin Sheng, who was at the Supreme First Level!

"You are... Lin Sheng!!?"

Ye Liufeng, feeling the pressure on him suddenly lighten, stood up and looked up at the face of the person in the sky.

His eyes widened abruptly!

He had calculated everything, but he never could have calculated that the person suppressing him at this moment was the "Holy Son spare tire" from the Holy Land with whom he'd only had a few encounters?

And his realm...

"You... Weren't you just a Heavenly God!? This pressure..."

"Supreme Realm!!?"

Ye Liufeng exclaimed in terror.

He didn't misperceive it, did he!

When he left last month, he could easily crush this guy!

How is it now... the other way around???

The surrounding cultivators and commoners instantly stirred upon hearing Ye Liufeng's words!

"Lin Sheng? That Golden Dragon Holy Son!?"

"That's right! He is the successor Holy Son announced by the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land after Ye Liufeng betrayed the Holy Land - Lin Sheng!"

"The Golden Dragon Holy Son has personally come to our dynasty!"

"Just now Ye Liufeng said he's in the Supreme Realm!? Is that true?"

"Certainly! Otherwise, how could he easily suppress Ye Liufeng, who is in the Divine King Realm! Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Oh my god! This new Holy Son isn't even twenty yet, is he? He's actually that heaven-defying? When I was twenty, I had just broken through to the Spiritualist Realm..."

"Comparing people makes you die of anger..."

Amidst the royal family members who were surrounded by the imperial guards and the experts of the imperial city.

Baili Fengming, dressed in a magnificent golden dress, stared blankly at the white-robed young man in the sky who was as radiant as the sun.

The various sounds of surprised discussion about the young man from the surrounding cultivators, concubines, and commoners kept pouring into her ears.

So... it was him!

She listened and listened.

She couldn't help but raise her fair, jade-like hand, which resembled a lotus root, as if to reach towards the sky and touch the young Supreme in the sky.

A moment later, she suddenly came back to her senses.

After a self-mocking bitter smile, she slowly withdrew her hand.

Gazing at the figure in the sky who was like a banished immortal, her heart was extremely complex, and she murmured softly, "They say he's the destined one, but how can I possibly be worthy..."

Her soft murmur was still heard by Baili East Su beside her.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed.

A Supreme under twenty...

A new talent who will surely be on the Ten Talents Ranking and be famous throughout the entire continent...

The current Holy Son of the Holy Land...

Baili East Su slightly tilted his head and asked the old imperial advisor beside him, who was leaning on a cane and had white hair and beard, "You once calculated for Fengming that her noble person in life would be the Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land?"

Upon hearing this, the old imperial advisor's hunched figure trembled.

He had indeed calculated.

But the person he calculated was not the one in the sky, but the one on the ground who was in such a sorry state!

"Which one is it?"

Baili East Su's gaze shifted back and forth between the two young men, asking in a seemingly calm tone.

In this situation, how could the old imperial advisor dare to speak frankly?

But he also didn't want to lie against his conscience, so he replied ambiguously, "Whoever ultimately wins, that is the one."

Baili East Su's face turned cold, clearly dissatisfied with this answer.

"You fortune tellers are all quite arrogant."

"This humble subject would not dare!"

"Wouldn't dare? Hmph."

......

Ye Liufeng was extremely uncomfortable right now.

He felt like a turtle in a pot, trapped here.

He couldn't fight, and he couldn't escape.

He could hear the voices of the surrounding people; although they were almost all praising Lin Sheng, it also made his situation extremely awkward.

The gazes of the commoners seemed to have killing power, burning hot on his body.

Ye Liufeng was very uncomfortable, and he urgently wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

So he gritted his teeth, looked up at Lin Sheng, and pleaded loudly, "I am the Former Holy Son, and I can be considered your senior brother and predecessor. This time, I acted impulsively and made a mistake that damaged the Holy Land's reputation."

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely compensate the Holy Land."

"But for now, please let me go, okay?"
