Chapter 2028: We’re All Your Underlings
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Lin, who was dressed in a snow-white robe, blocked the army of several million enemies all by himself. In fact, the aura that radiated from his body was even more mighty than that of the divine being who had brought nightmares upon the other immortals.
What a domineering display this was; what a commanding sight this was…
The hundreds of Return to Void Stage Exalted Immortals could barely shift their eyes from An Lin.
“An Lin… the Heavenly Earth God is nearby,” the divine being said through gritted teeth. “Do you really think you can do whatever you want?”
An Lin shrugged his shoulders. “Heavenly Temperature God, there’s no need to threaten me with the Heavenly Earth God. He won’t start a battle with me over this matter…”
That’s right, the divine being before An Lin was none other than the Heavenly Temperature God who he had fought against not long ago. At the time, he had been beaten half-dead by An Lin. If it weren’t for the Heavenly Earth God making a move, he would’ve had absolutely no chance of escaping.
The Heavenly Temperature God trembled in fury, yet he didn’t dare to erupt in rage. He truly didn’t dare to fight against An Lin…
Even if they were brainless fools, the immortals could still tell that the divine being was fearful of An Lin. He didn’t dare attack An Lin at all.
As they gradually came to their senses, they suddenly started to feel shocked about An Lin’s strength.
They had initially thought that An Lin was going to call upon some powerful reinforcement to deal with his opponent. Much to their disbelief, however, it was actually the haughty divine being who had to call upon another being to deal with An Lin! Exactly how terrifying was this An Lin?!
“Is… is he really the An Lin that I know?” Yan Shuqin’s white dress billowed in the air, and the image of the male’s back was reflected in her beautiful eyes as she murmured to herself.
“Exactly how powerful is An Lin…? Wasn’t he evenly-matched with Feng Wuya not long ago? How long has it been? How has he suddenly become so powerful?”
No one was more shocked than Shi Zhen. Her face had been slapped so many times that it was almost swollen. Thinking back to how she had belittled and doubted An Lin, she felt extremely ashamed. At the same time, she also felt a strong sense of disbelief.
However, no matter how bizarre they found this, it was the undisputed reality. Everything that had occurred before them proved that the white-robed male’s overwhelming strength had already exceeded their wildest imaginations.
Immortal King Wang Chen suddenly felt extremely ashamed upon recalling his intention to compete against An Lin. For the current An Lin, crushing him was probably as easy as crushing an ant… This conclusion could be easily reached by observing the divine being’s fearful expression.
“That’s right, you’re all members of my Four Nine Immortal Palace, correct?” An Lin suddenly turned around and asked in curiosity.
The immortals faltered upon hearing this. Then, they quickly nodded in confirmation.
“Of course! We’re all members of the Four Nine Immortal Palace!”
“Immortal King An Lin, we’re all your underlings!”
“Boss An Lin, you’re the only Immortal King in my heart. I’ll forever be your devoted follower!” There was a sincere glow in Ouyang Tai’s eyes as he patted his chest in promise.
Yang Lingqian shot a glance at that immortal before sneering, “Weren’t you still claiming that Wang Chen and the others were more powerful than An Lin just a moment ago? Didn’t you encourage them to usurp An Lin?!”
Ouyang Tai went weak at the knees, and the color instantly drained from his face. He viciously slapped his face several times before wailing as if he had lost his mother, “Those were all foolish utterances that I made when blood rushed to my head. Boss An Lin, you’re the only paramount being in my heart! You have to believe me!”
One after another, the remaining Exalted Immortals all expressed their loyalty to An Lin.
“I’ve always been the Eighth Cabinet Elder of the Four Nine Immortal Palace, and this fact will never change,” He Shen suddenly said.
“I’ve been Immortal King An Lin’s person since long ago. I’ll do whatever the Immortal King asks of me,” Yan Ji said in a mellow voice as she lightly stroked her jade-like collarbone with her slender hand.
“Immortal King An Lin has always been my most revered idol,” Wang Chen said sincerely.
As though afraid of An Lin leaving them behind, the powerful beings who had come from the Divine Source Continent all expressed their loyalty to An Lin. Those who had previously doubted and belittled him all became his most loyal and fervent followers at this moment.
An Lin was extremely pleased with their reactions.
As expected, this kind of behavior was still true to the Divine Source Continent that he was familiar with. When the Divine Source Continent cultivators saw someone more powerful than them, they would immediately become extremely obsequious. This culture hadn’t changed a single bit…
“Listen up. The cultivators behind me are all under my protection. If you have no objections, I’ll take them away right now.” An Lin pointed at the hundreds of supreme beings behind him as he spoke to the Heavenly God in the sky.
The Heavenly Temperature God wore an extremely dark expression, yet he didn’t dare to utter a single word of complaint.
“Follow me,” An Lin said to Yang Lingqian and the other cultivators behind him. Immediately afterward, a large black brick appeared beneath his feet, and he started flying off into the distance.
The Exalted Immortals sang praises to Immortal King An Lin as they followed closely behind him.
At this moment, they all felt that the slightly ugly black brick under the white-robed male’s feet appeared both mysterious and profound. As for the male standing on the brick, he was extremely dazzling and eye-catching.
As An Lin disappeared into the distance, the Heavenly Temperature God could only quietly stare daggers at him. He didn’t dare to chase after him.
As for the other Heavenly Humans, some had already sunk to the bottom of the sea, while others pretended to be unconscious as they drifted on the surface of the sea. They couldn’t muster up any courage to stand in An Lin’s way. Right now, An Lin had already become an individual who instilled terror in the Heavenly Humans’ minds.
“After one hundred or so years, Immortal King An Lin has become even more charismatic…” Yan Ji sighed with emotion as she gazed at the nearby male who was performing Brick Kinesis Flight.
“Yang Lingqian, you’re so lucky. It’s evident that An Lin treats you best out of all the cultivators from the Divine Source Continent. You’ve got to work hard~” Yan Shuqin smiled.
Yang Lingqian’s face flushed red when she heard this. She tugged her sleeves with her slender hands, and she involuntarily hung her head in embarrassment. Her appearance as a young and embarrassed female was especially adorable.
Shi Zhen felt slightly envious and slightly jealous as she glanced at Yang Lingqian.
She had initially been disdainful of Yang Lingqian, who had ascended her position due to An Lin’s influence. Now, however, she suddenly discovered that being able to rely on An Lin was an incredibly glorious privilege that was worthy of everyone’s envy. Being able to form a close relationship with An Lin was no easy feat. In fact, weren’t those obsequious Immortal Kings the best examples?
If it weren’t for the presence-tracking function of the bracelet that An Lin had gifted Yang Lingqian, it was very likely that they would have been killed in the White Nectar Sea. A large reason for their survival lay with Yang Lingqian.
“Sister Lingqian, I’m so sorry for what I did before…” Shi Zhen wore an apologetic expression as she flew toward Yang Lingqian. She wanted to improve her relationship with Yang Lingqian.
However, Yang Lingqian stayed silent and only replied with a faint smile. It was clear that she couldn’t even be bothered to exchange pleasantries with her. This caused Shi Zhen’s expression to become even more despondent and regretful.
…
All of the immortals still felt slightly dazed at this moment.
They had harbored lofty sentiments and aspirations as they crossed the barrier between the two worlds, and they had also hoped to display their extraordinary talents in this new world. Unexpectedly, however, they were almost completely wiped out within two hours of setting foot in this new world.
In the end, it was An Lin—whose standing had fallen dramatically in their minds—who had made a dazzling appearance and saved their lives. They reverted back to underlings once again, and they could only obediently follow behind An Lin. How ironic and laughable this was…
After a while, the immortals finally glimpsed dry land in the distance.
In complete contrast to their imaginations of a luscious and beautiful immortal realm, what entered their eyes was a vast expanse of scar-riddled land. Winds of desolation swept through the bleak plain that was still strewn with corpses that weren’t disposed of yet.
“This is… a battlefield where humans fought against those white-winged humans?” Wang Chen’s expression changed slightly when he saw a large number of corpses that belonged to the tribe he had just come across.
The other immortals were also startled by this scene.
There were all kinds of bizarre corpses on this battlefield—those of Double-Winged Dragons, those of Light Wing Clan members, those of white-winged Heavenly Humans, those of two-horned creatures, those of bat-winged True Demons, those of white-bodied Holy Martial Clan members, and those of the variously shaped Creation Realm members…
Intense warfare had already caused mountains and rivers to collapse and the vast land to fracture and split. Desolation and death permeated for as far as the eye could see, and only the dangerous remnants of violent energy still told the story of just how earth-shattering the battle here had been.
What kind of war was this…
Just looking at the ruins of the battlefield instilled a sense of unparalleled misery in one’s mind.
The immortals suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
They definitely couldn’t participate in this battle.
They had only come to this foreign world to travel and broaden their knowledge. They definitely hadn’t come to battle or attempt to rule!
Right at this moment, the leading An Lin suddenly spoke, “We’ve arrived at our destination.”
The immortals saw an incredibly magnificent city as they looked ahead. It was like a colossal primeval beast that was resting on the land, and its greatness and imposing nature caused all of them to gasp in admiration.
There was a copper-colored plaque on the city gates, and there were three profound and ancient words engraved into it.
Yue Tong City!
