Chapter 1129: Everyone Is Shocked
Hearing Lin Li’s random words that popped up out of nowhere, everyone seemed puzzled, but they saw that Lin Li had already stood up and casually made a spatial rift in the space in front of him. He then stepped into it calmly, and his figure immediately disappeared in the spatial crack.
“How powerful is that kid Felic now!?” Sendros couldn’t help but exclaim emotionally when he saw that scene. Although Lin Li seemed to be very relaxed, Sendros had a good understanding of the power of the Sanctuary-realm, and so knew that this seemingly easy move was by no means something that an ordinary Sanctuary powerhouse could pull off.
Englos, who was beside him, smacked his lips enviously and shook his head with a smile before saying, “This kid is far ahead of us. I reckon I’d be too embarrassed to seem like I’m close to him the next time I see him.”
On the other hand, the two princes, Jonathan and Jeremiah, looked even more dumbstruck as the scene before them had completely exceeded their scope of understanding. Although they were both peak Legendary powerhouses, that was also the reason that they had a more profound understanding of the power of this world. The scene of making a rift in space with one’s own power was like a miracle to them, and they dared not even think about it.At this moment, the Legendary powerhouses of the Breezy Plains in the sky above Helena Port were already caught in a crisis. Faced with the terrifying power of High Priest Poer, they had no means to resist at all. The countless magic runes that emerged in the space condensed into a magic chain that coiled around the people of the Breezy Plains. Once the magic chain entangled their bodies, they would immediately lose all their power, be it mana or Combat Energy.
Damn it, a bunch of country bumpkins. This is the true power of a real Sanctuary powerhouse. Try being arrogant in front of me again! Delano followed closely behind his father. Looking at the astonished people of the Breezy Plains, he smiled smugly. Deep down, he had already started to think about how he was going to deal with them after taking them down so as to regain his pride.
Of course, the people of the Breezy Plains were just some nobodies, and what Delano was the most eager to see was his father defeating Felic, the president of the Tower of Dusk.
So what if he’s only in his twenties? He must have reached the Sanctuary-realm only because of luck. How can he compare to a real Sanctuary powerhouse like my father? In Delano’s opinion, even if Felic was a Sanctuary powerhouse, he would still be defeated by his father, Poer.
However, at this moment, there was a violent explosion in the space, and it vibrated so much that Delano almost fell from the sky. Immediately afterwards, they saw the magic chains in space that shackled the people of the Breezy Plains getting pushed away violently by an invisible force. In fact, they even began to dissipate rapidly like snow that had landed in flames.
On the other hand, High Priest Poer, who was casting the spell, also let out a low grunt, and suddenly withdrew his hand to pull Delano back. The magic runes that were flashing continuously in the space also seemed to have gotten a great fright as they instantly vanished, which restored the space to its original appearance.
Only then did the people on the field realize that a young figure had somehow appeared between the people of the Breezy Plains and High Priest Poer.“President Felic, you’re here!” After seeing the figure that appeared out of thin air, the people of the Breezy Plains could not help but exclaim in joy and surprise.
“I’m sorry to have frightened all of you,” Lin Li said with a smile as he looked at the people behind him.
Seeing Lin Li’s timely appearance, the people of the Breezy Plains finally breathed a sigh of relief. Many of them had participated in that battle on Cage Island, and naturally knew how terrifying Lin Li’s power was. Although High Priest Poer had given them a great pressure just now, they firmly believed that as long as this President Felic was around, they would definitely succeed and win the battle.
After hearing the words of the people of the Breezy Plains, High Priest Poer also knew the identity of this young man. However, he was still as shocked as ever.
At this moment, High Priest Poer simply could not believe his eyes, because Lin Li was just too young for a Sanctuary powerhouse. A Sanctuary powerhouse in his early twenties? When did this world become so crazy? Even Geresco wasn’t so incredibly gifted!
Moreover, what shocked High Priest Poer even more was the strength that Lin Li displayed as breaking into the Domain World of another Sanctuary powerhouse was not something that an ordinary Sanctuary powerhouse could do.
The ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses would have a hard time breaking into their enemy’s Domain World even if they were of a higher level. However, not only did Lin Li, a young Sanctuary powerhouse, break into his Domain World, he even struck and forced him to retract his Domain World. If he hadn’t experienced it firsthand, High Priest Poer would have probably never believed such a thing was possible.
Looking at the young Lin Li whom he should have felt disdainful towards, Poer couldn’t help but be wary of him. Although he had only had a brief contact with Lin Li, he knew that if he had to fight with Lin Li, he might be the one to suffer a huge loss.
“Father, this is the guy who kept the fugitive on his ship and the one who summoned the monster!” Delano was not even a Legendary powerhouse, so naturally he could not tell that the two Sanctuary powerhouses had already sized each other up during the brief contact. Hence, he simply pointed at Lin Li and complained to his father, wanting him to teach Lin Li a hard lesson for himself.
High Priest Goer soon hid the fear in his eyes, and asked, “Are you President Felic of the Tower of Dusk?”
Lin Li reached out and grabbed the Summoning Lamp before turning to look at the Lord Devourer Garl. Without much emotion, he indifferently said, “Not bad, it seems that your son has already introduced me to you, so I won’t introduce myself.”
Lin Li did not bother to ask the identity of the High Priest Poer. He could tell who the latter was from the robe that he was wearing and the striking resemblance between him and Delano. Of course, if it was a normal exchange, Lin Li would have to ask about his identity out of respect despite having already guessed it. However, they were now in a hostile relationship with each other, and Lin Li just wanted his ship, The Star, and his sailors to be alright. The other party’s identity did not matter to him.
After speaking to High Priest Poer, Lin Li stopped paying attention to them, and instead turned his head to face the people of the Breezy Plains, and said, “Okay, you guys go and see how The Star is doing. Throw all of those who do not belong on the ship into the sea.”
“Yes, President Felic, please rest assured,” the Legendary powerhouses of the Breezy Plains immediately answered respectfully before flying towards The Star, which was detained in the corner of the port.
Seeing how Lin Li ignored him, High Priest Poer couldn’t help but coldly say with a hostile expression, “President Felic, don’t you think you should give an explanation to the Gilded Kingdom for what happened here!?”
“Why? Didn’t your son tell you everything?” Lin Li asked nonchalantly as he turned around. The interaction just now made him gain a considerable understanding of High Priest Poer’s abilities. Even though Poer was also a true Sanctuary powerhouse, that kind of strength was not enough to intimidate Lin Li.
In fact, with Lin Li’s current Sanctuary-level power, there were only a few people in the entire Anril who could be his match. Besides, Lin Li also had the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, and he could also summon the Sky Castle over at any time. Such incredible power was already enough for him to be fearless of any threats.
Although Lin Li didn’t like going to war, it didn’t mean that he would let himself suffer losses for the sake of the so-called peace with the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, even if the Gilded Kingdom really fell out with them, Lin Li wouldn’t find it a pity at all.
However, Lin Li’s words sounded extremely arrogant to High Priest Poer, who felt that Lin Li was treating him and the Gilded Kingdom as if they were nothing. High Priest Poer had been in the Sanctuary-realm for numerous years, and his reputation in the Gilded Kingdom was even on par with King Bradlor’s. No one had ever dared to speak to him like that.
High Priest Poer immediately laughed, and stared at Lin Li grimly with a sinister gaze. “President Felic, I believe we have expressed enough sincerity when we received you, the guests of the Gilded Kingdom. However, this does not mean that you can ignore our nation’s laws and regulations. You were harboring a fugitive, and now you even caused us to suffer so many casualties. Do you want to go to war with our country!?”
High Priest Poer knew very well that if he really had to fight with Lin Li, he might not be a match for him. Hence, he took out a sharp weapon—the threat of war—in a bid to make Lin Li bow. Moreover, his words were not just meant for Lin Li alone. In fact, he also meant for the representatives of the various forces in the Breezy Plains to hear it so that they would feel oppressed and alienate Lin Li.
After all, the other forces of the Breezy Plains had gained significant benefits from the cooperation with the Gilded Kingdom. If war broke out between the Gilded Kingdom and the Breezy Plains, the forces of the Breezy Plains would definitely end up losing those benefits, and lose even more during the war. He reckoned that anyone would make a wise decision at this point.
“If we have to go to war, so be it. What’s the big deal? Since the Gilded Kingdom is not sincere in this cooperation, we don’t have to give you any respect.” After taking The Star back, Claus and several other leaders walked towards Lin Li again to inform him of the situation on The Star, and also to show their determination to stand with the Tower of Dusk. Hence, after hearing High Priest Poer’s words, Claus and the others seized the opportunity to express their choice before Lin Li even said anything.
How dare an insignificant Legendary-level being talk to me? Poer humphed coldly as if he had been greatly insulted, and was just about to teach them a lesson.
However, at this moment, another figure flew over from afar, and yelled, “Don’t do it, Poer, President Felic, please calm down!”
The person who came was none other than Forcus’s teacher, Elder Zumar, who had cooperated with Lin Li to seal the dragon corpse on Cage Island. Obviously, Elder Zumar had already received a report from his disciple, Forcus, which was the reason that he dropped everything to hurry over. However, as soon as he entered the space above the port, and saw what was going on, Elder Zumar’s heart twitched—partly because of the huge loss of the fleet, and partly because he was worried about the relationship between them and the Tower of Dusk.
Initially, Elder Zumar did not intend to intervene when he saw High Priest Poer there. After all, High Priest Poer was not from the Illuminati, but represented the royals of the Gilded Kingdom. He thought that since there was nothing wrong with Delano, High Priest Poer would try his best to appease the young president of the Tower of Dusk out of consideration for the interests of the Gilded Kingdom.
However, to Elder Zumar’s surprise, the two of them started clamoring about starting a war before they could even talk for a bit. This time, he did not dare to stand by and watch, so he immediately clamored for both parties to calm themselves down.
Elder Zumar’s appearance made the ambiance a little less tense. After all, putting aside his identity as an elder of the Gilded Kingdom, he was also a true high-level Sanctuary powerhouse even High Priest Poer had to respect.
“Elder Zumar, you came just in time. Those outsiders have really gone overboard. Not only did they ignore our country’s laws to harbor a fugitive, they even destroyed our fleet out of anger and shame!” Knowing that his abilities were not enough for him to cause significant harm to the young Sanctuary powerhouse Lin Li, Poer also knew that he would be asking for trouble if he really started a fight. Hence, as soon as he saw Elder Zumar, he immediately found an out, and complained to Elder Zumar with righteous indignation.
“Did we commit the crime of harboring fugitives just because you said so? We came all the way here by ship, and no strangers came on board at all. Who knows when that fugitive got shoved onto the ship!?” Claus and others were instantly displeased too. Actually, he did not want to really go to war with the Gilded Kingdom, either, and he would prefer to maintain peace as far as possible.
Actually, Elder Zumar had already found out about the bigger picture from his disciple Forcus, but it was hard to draw a conclusion about the truth of the matter at the moment. Hence, he waved his hands and gestured for everyone to be quiet for the time being before saying, “I believe we just have to conduct an investigation to find out what exactly happened, and the truth will come to light. There must be a misunderstanding here, and the fugitive might have sneaked onto The Star. President Felic, you were being too impulsive!”
