Chapter 594: Counting every single one, all must die!
"It’s the Spirit Seer!"
"The Master has arrived! This kid is done for!"
"Hahaha, the Southeast Five Provinces are saved!"
Upon hearing the distant voice, the faces of the prominent family heads lit up with wild joy and excitement.
At the same time, as the figure rapidly approached, the chill in the air grew palpably denser. It grew so intense that a bridge of pure ice, a Cold Bridge, coalesced and stretched forth, extending from hundreds of meters away to hang in the air above the dueling platform.
The most powerful figures and leaders from the Southeast Five Provinces dropped to their knees, their faces ablaze with fanaticism. This included Huang Ning and Feng Chen. Excitement and exhilaration were etched on every face.
"We respectfully welcome the Spirit Seer!"
The crowd prostrated themselves fervently, as if welcoming a deity. They were all incredibly excited, feeling a sense of immense honor. At this moment, the only thing in their hearts was the godlike Spirit Seer; everything else had been utterly forgotten.
"You’re dead meat!" Qiu Yi’s face twisted with malice. "Hurry up and kneel to welcome my brother, the Spirit Seer! When he arrives, he can crush you with a single finger!"
Qiu Yi wore a look of murderous intent, as if he had already pronounced Lin Mu’s death sentence.
Under the sunlight, the Cold Bridge was dazzlingly bright. Though this wasn’t the first time they had seen it, everyone’s face was filled with utter shock. Kong Lin and the others were no exception. Such a technique was practically an Immortal Law, far beyond human capability.
Then, a figure flashed through the void, alighting upon the Cold Bridge. This scene left everyone speechless, their eyes wide with disbelief. This was no mere levitation skill, but actual flight.
It was too outrageous.
Too terrifying!
Is this the Spirit Seer? He’s practically an immortal!
"Do you see the gap now?" Qiu Yi said with a piercing gaze. "This is the man you’ve always disdained, yet he is nearly divine. How could you possibly fight him?"
Pride was plastered all over Qiu Yi’s face.
The smile at the corners of Lin Mu’s mouth only deepened.
"Lin Mu, I truly don’t know where you get your courage and confidence to remain so blindly obstinate!" Huang Ning stood up, looking at Lin Mu with a sigh as she lightly shook her head. "Do you see that man standing at the pinnacle? He is a godlike being that you can’t possibly fight against!"
"Huang Ning, shut your mouth!" Feng Chen interjected. His face showed a trace of shock and apology. "Mr. Lin, I am so sorry. Miss Huang is just..."
Unlike Huang Ning, Feng Chen was on the verge of becoming a Grandmaster himself. Yet in front of Lin Mu, he felt his heart pound with fear. The experience on Tiger Hill remained vivid in his memory, and every time he recalled it, he felt the profound terror of Lin Mu. Combined with the recent battle, it led Feng Chen to a conjecture that terrified him to his very core.
"Master Feng, what are you doing?" Huang Ning cut him off, snorting coldly. "Do you realize what you’re saying? You’re apologizing to a man who’s as good as dead? Who does he think he is? Just because he has a few tricks, he acts like he’s above everyone?"
"My Huang Family is a noble house with a century of heritage and prestigious ancestors. I, Huang Ning, am Heaven’s favored daughter. My admirers flock to me, and countless young talents would kneel at the hem of my skirt."
Pointing at Lin Mu, Huang Ning spoke with pure venom, "But him? What is he? He dares to defy my orders. He deserves to die! Today, his woman dared to insult, humiliate, and strike me, but he has no idea that the Huang Ning of today is not the Huang Ning of yesterday!"
"Because the Spirit Seer himself has already said that he plans to take me as his disciple!"
An expression of extreme, unadulterated excitement appeared on Huang Ning’s face. She hadn’t told anyone about this. She had thought the Spirit Seer only mentioned it in passing and that it wasn’t certain. If Lin Mu hadn’t been so overbearing, she wouldn’t have brought it up.
But now, there was no need to hide it any longer. She wanted the world to know that her status had completely changed.
"Lin Mu, if you kneel and apologize to me right now, and make your woman a servant for my Master, I might be in a good enough mood to spare your life!" Huang Ning’s face was a mask of arrogance. "Otherwise, killing you? My Master would only need a single finger."
THUD!
Someone knelt.
It wasn’t Lin Mu. It was Feng Chen.
Feng Chen knelt before Lin Mu. "Mr. Lin, from this moment on, I, Feng Chen, have nothing more to do with the Huang Family. Whatever you wish to do, I will not dare to obstruct you!"
"Even if you dared to interfere, could you actually stop me?" Lin Mu shook his head slightly, paying Feng Chen no mind.
Feng Chen’s expression tightened, and his voice trembled. "I would not dare."
"Feng Chen, do you know what you’re doing?" Seeing him kneel to Lin Mu and sever ties with her family, all respect vanished from Huang Ning’s tone. "What a pity. I had planned to ask my Master to help you reach the Grandmaster realm, but you chose to oppose my Huang Family and my Master."
"And you, you’re going to die too!"
Shooting a resentful glare at Lin Mu, Huang Ning knelt and proclaimed respectfully, "Master, your disciple, Huang Ning, begs you to act and execute this traitor!"
However, no reply came. The entire arena was shrouded in a dead silence.
"Master?" Huang Ning called out again.
Could it be that Master didn’t hear me?
Huang Ning pondered for a moment, then turned to Patriarch Shen and the Feng Family Head. "You two, let’s petition my Master together to take action and execute Lin Mu!"
"Excellent!"
The heads of the two prominent families nodded, and they all called out in a thunderous voice filled with intense killing intent, "We respectfully request the Master to act and execute Lin Mu!"
"Lin, let all our grudges be settled today," Shen Cheng declared as he and Zou Ju appeared. They both hated Lin Mu with a passion. The fact that the mighty Demon King had been forced to flee from Lin Mu’s subordinates was utterly humiliating. But today, there was no way Lin Mu was walking out of here alive.
"Shen Cheng, what do you think you’re doing?" Kong Ying immediately stepped forward.
"Zou Ju, are you trying to make an enemy of the Southeast Military Region?" Kong Lin added in a grave voice.
"Dare to touch my Venerable Master, and I’ll chop him to pieces!" Cheng Bugui and his men roared as they stood up.
"We of Handong will live or die with the Chairman!" Xie Dingtian and his followers echoed the sentiment.
"Dare to bully my godfather, and I’ll run him through!" Liu Xiaolin’s face was a mask of killing intent.
The hundred-strong force of the Divine Machine Camp also stepped forward, ready to live or die with Lin Mu.
"Ignorant mortals. You will regret today’s choice," Zou Ju said, shaking her head with disdain.
"Kong Lin, oh Kong Lin," Zou Ju sighed. "Don’t you realize what a terrible calamity Instructor Lin, the man you invited, has brought upon everyone? Just face reality. Siding with the Spirit Seer is the only correct choice!"
"Very well." Lin Mu laughed. "Kong Family, Divine Machine Camp... I, Lin Mu, hereby promise that no matter what the future holds, I will grant you a lifetime of glory."
Those who still dared to stand by his side at a time like this had proven their loyalty. As for the people from Handong Province, they had already made their position clear, so nothing more needed to be said.
"And you still have the gall to make such boasts!" Zou Ju sneered. "A pity these people are all doomed to be buried with you!"
"Who else?" Lin Mu’s voice cut through the air, his eyes filled with a murderous light. "Anyone else here who is dissatisfied with me? You can all stand up now."
He was going to see just how many people in the vast Southeast Five Provinces had a problem with him.
"Lin, you’re too arrogant!" the head of another prominent family shouted as he stepped forward to condemn him.
"I’ve despised your conduct for a long time. Who the hell do you think you are!"
"And not just you! That bitch, too! How dare she act as if we in the Southeast Five Provinces have no one of consequence? Death is too good for her!"
One after another, several more people stood up, some to denounce Lin Mu, others to condemn Qin Luoli.
"Alright, very well." Lin Mu waved a hand, a cold, murderous glint in his eyes. "I’ll count every single one of you. Today, you all die!"
