Chapter 1355 - 1355: It's Actually Lin Wudi!

Buzz!

At the exact instant Fu Hongbao reached out his hand, a pulse of energy surged out from the Cloaked Person, spreading to cover the entire tavern.

The dozen or so Third Tribulation in the tavern all went rigid as if electrocuted, their whole bodies stiff, unable to move.

"F-F… Fourth Tribulation Thunder!"

Fu Hongbao's voice was trembling.

Only now did he realize that Jin San from the Black List hadn't been wrong at all—the person before him really was Fourth Tribulation Thunder!

As for why there wasn't a light dot representing this person atop the Light Tower, that no longer mattered!

What mattered was that he had just made a move against a Fourth Tribulation Thunder practitioner, offending a powerhouse's dignity.

"Senior, spare my life, this junior was momentarily confused, failed to recognize Senior's cultivation level, I deserve a thousand deaths!"

Fu Hongbao compromised almost without the slightest hesitation and opened his mouth to beg for mercy.

If they were in the outside world, he would have revealed his Heavenly Realm Guard identity to intimidate a Fourth Tribulation Thunder.

In the Heavenly Realm, not to mention Fourth Tribulation Thunder—even those overlords of the Holy Lands, he dared to reprimand.

The Heavenly Realm Guard are the rulers of the Heavenly Realm; everyone must bow their heads to the Heavenly Realm Guard.

But this is the Forbidden Sand Sea; if he enraged the man before him, killing him would be killing in vain.

"A thousand deaths? You do indeed deserve a thousand deaths…"

The Cloaked Person's voice was a bit icy.

But whether it was an illusion or not, Fu Hongbao kept feeling that there was a trace of mockery in the voice of the man in the bamboo hat.

Jin San from the Black List also hurriedly shouted, "Senior, spare us, we had no intention of offending…"

The other Third Tribulation didn't speak, but their eyes were full of pleading.

None of them wanted to die so muddle-headedly at the hands of a Fourth Tribulation Thunder.

The Cloaked Person walked on his own to the main seat.

Fu Hongbao's body was sent flying with a bang, thrown seven or eight zhang away, smashing into the tavern's protective Formation and making the whole tavern shudder violently.

The Cloaked Person paid no mind to this, leisurely seating himself on the main throne.

In a room full of Third Tribulation, at this moment no one dared to speak, unable to read this Fourth Tribulation Thunder's intentions.

The Cloaked Person also remained silent, taking out a jade flask and pouring out Jadescent Nectar that even in these Heavenly Realm Guards' eyes was extremely luxurious, slowly savoring it.

Fu Hongbao lay sprawled on the floor in a wretched state, crushed so hard by the terrifying aura of Fourth Tribulation Thunder that he couldn't get up.

"Is this guy really Fourth Tribulation Thunder? This aura is probably not much weaker than an overlord!"

Fu Hongbao couldn't figure out how such a terrifying monster had appeared in the Forbidden Sand Sea.

Clearly only Fourth Tribulation Thunder, yet he was effortlessly suppressing so many Third Tribulation that they couldn't move.

In the dead silence, time flowed by.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A series of hurried footsteps came from the first floor.

Veins bulged on the foreheads of Fu Hongbao, Jin San, and the others.

Which idiot is this? Why can't he just fly in properly—actually walking up step by step? Isn't this blatantly provoking this Fourth Tribulation Thunder powerhouse?

A moment later, a figure appeared on the second floor.

"Deng Xuan!"

Fu Hongbao recognized him as a Leader of the Heavenly Realm Guard, a Second Thunder Tribulation, one of the people he had coerced into going to the outside world to search for Wang Ling.

Deng Xuan swept a glance at the Third Tribulation seated in the hall; not seeing Fu Hongbao, his expression clearly relaxed.

"Heavenly Realm Guard Deng Xuan, greets all the adults!"

Deng Xuan cupped his hands and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant.

The several Third Tribulation Heavenly Realm Guard on the chairs desperately signaled Deng Xuan with their eyes.

Yet Deng Xuan, for some reason, treated their hints as if he hadn't seen them.

Just as these Heaven's Guard Commanders were all feeling extremely awkward, Deng Xuan finally spoke—yet the person he addressed was Jin San.

"Lord Jin San, since Fu Hongbao happens not to be here, I have a matter I wish to discuss!"

After speaking, noticing Jin San had no particular reaction, Deng Xuan didn't feel it was strange.

After all, members of the Black List all wore masks, so you couldn't read their expressions.

"We've already found Wang Ling, but if you adults want to obtain Wang Ling, you must agree to one condition!"

As soon as those words came out, the Heaven's Guard Commanders finally understood why their signaling had gotten no response from Deng Xuan.

This guy was rebelling!

Sure enough, Deng Xuan's next sentence was, "As long as you adults kill Fu Hongbao, Wang Ling will naturally be sent back! Otherwise, we'll toss Wang Ling into the Ghost Specter!"

Jin San only felt like cursing his mother.

What the hell was he supposed to say to that?

He himself had already bloody become a captive.

Fu Hongbao was even more speechless.

He realized he seemed doomed to tragedy.

Even if he hadn't provoked a Fourth Tribulation Thunder, he'd still be schemed to death by these Second Thunder Tribulation bastards.

If that Cloaked Person hadn't appeared, would Jin San have agreed to Deng Xuan's condition?

Of course he would!

They were both Third Tribulation; Fu Hongbao simply couldn't suppress Jin San.

Let alone that for the sake of Wang Ling, even those Heavenly Realm Guard guys would agree to get rid of him.

A tragedy.

From the moment he used slaughter to coerce those Second Thunder Tribulation into searching for Wang Ling, his tragedy was already destined.

Too bad he remained oblivious, still thinking victory was in his grasp, that he could defeat Han Yingjie and take control of Life City.

Seeing that after he finished speaking, the whole room of Third Tribulation had no reaction at all, Deng Xuan couldn't help but frown.

Something's off.

Among the Heavenly Realm Guard present, there was a Director who had a deep camaraderie with Fu Hongbao—yet even he hadn't spoken up in opposition.

This…

Before Deng Xuan could figure out what was going on, he heard a voice say, "All right, I agree to your condition."

Only then did Deng Xuan notice that the one speaking to him was the Cloaked Person sitting at the main seat.

His entire face was hidden under the cloak, his true features impossible to see.

"You are…"

Deng Xuan had just opened his mouth when he saw that man raise his hand and point.

Instinctively looking over, Deng Xuan saw Fu Hongbao—the very man that they Second Thunder Tribulation had been dreaming of killing—lying like a dead dog on the floor off to the side, in an extremely miserable state.

What the hell is going on?

The Cloaked Person waved his hand, and Fu Hongbao was uncontrollably drawn over, slamming down with a smack right in front of Deng Xuan.

Only now did Deng Xuan realize that not only Fu Hongbao, but even Jin San and the rest all seemed frozen in place, unable to move.

"You… just who are you…"

Deng Xuan finally sensed something was wrong.

To restrain so many Third Tribulation powerhouse in one move—this person before him was most likely an overlord-level existence.

"You really want to know who I am?"

The Cloaked Person's voice carried a hint of mockery.

For some reason, Deng Xuan suddenly had a very bad feeling.

Before he could speak again, the cloak flipped back, revealing the man's true face.

In that instant, not only Deng Xuan, but everyone including Jin San and Fu Hongbao were all dumbstruck.

"Lin… Lin Wudi!"

"How can it be him!"

The members of the three major organizations all wore expressions like they'd just been screwed by a dog.

They had been comforting themselves with thoughts of Lin Wudi, feeling that if they could encounter Lin Wudi, not only could they kill Lin Wudi to make a name in the Heavenly Realm, they might also gain a sliver of hope, letting people outside come save them.

But now, finally facing Lin Wudi head-on, they realized that in just two years, Lin Wudi had grown to a level they could only look up to.

Fourth Tribulation Thunder, with strength comparable to an overlord!

Everyone's hearts were filled with bitterness.

Nothing could be more absurd than this.

They had entered the Forbidden Sand Sea to hunt down Lin Wudi.

Yet in the end, Lin Wudi had already advanced to Fourth Tribulation Thunder and could easily crush them!

"Th-those overlords… were all killed by you?"

A Heaven's Mandate Organization member suddenly had a flash of insight, thinking of a possibility that made him shudder.
