âDonât agree, Uncle! You can still escape and have the chance to save the Lin Clan even if the formation breaks!â Dongshen Zhuojun hurriedly stopped Lin Xiao when he saw him on the verge of agreeing.
âIs there a point of going back if my grandson is goneâ¦â Dongshen Yue was already crying at the side.
âBut the Lin Clan at least has a chance of holding on if youâre there! This is the moment the Lin Clan needs you the most!â Dongshen Zhuojun said. Truthfully, he didnât feel a need for Lin Xiao to sacrifice his life for the Dongshen Clan. He just didnât want Lin Xiao to fall for the trap and fight Chi Hun.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf you leave now, you might make it in time. Zhuojun and I will send you out!â Dongshen Yang roared on the altar.
Chi Hun wanted Lin Xiaoâs life. Furthermore, everything happening at the Infinitum Swordsea and Mount Taia couldnât be changed!
Up in the sky, Chi Hun counted down as he advanced with a smile. He knew the words he wanted would soon be heard.
Suddenly, a drunk and casual voice sounded behind Chi Hun. âOne on one? Youâre the mighty tenth rex mundi, you know! It needs to be two on one for the weak and infirm of our Lin Clan to dare to stake our puny little lives.â
Everyone heard the speaker, even though the words werenât loud. Chi Hun paused. That wasnât the elderly voice he was expecting; it was too young, to the point it sounded like a youth who had just reached middle-aged.
Chi Hun and his ebon experts, as well as Shuntian Bolong, Wu Su, Murong Tianhua, and the rest all looked up. They saw a sloppily dressed fellow lazily reclining on the Dongshen Clanâs guardian formation. He looked like a rag picker with messy, long dark hair that seemed like it had never been washed before scattered everywhere. It was tangled and the knots were as thick as thumbs.
Naturally, his face was no cleaner. Combined with his overgrown, scruffy beard that glistened with various alcohols, his appearance couldnât be clearly seen as if he was wearing a mask.
Only a pair of sleepy eyes peeked through.
Finally, he was weakly slouched over with a giant dark green gourd on his back. It was even bigger than him, making him look like a snail.
When all eyes were fixed on him, he stood up and turned around, whistling. "Hello, esteemed masters! I'm an inexperienced newcomer, and a bit nervous in the face of such a grand event. I humbly request your guidance and care."
His peculiar appearance, coupled with his inexplicable appearance, caused many powerful members of the ebons to furrow their brows.
âWhoâs that?â Shuntian Bolong stared. Wasnât it suicidal to pop up like this at this time?
Chi Hunâs smile widened. âI was wondering who was making their grand appearance, only to find that itâs the famous Etherean Gladeus, the strongest etherean of our Infinitum Mundus!â
âHaha! Big brother, you overestimate me. I never blow my trumpet or else Iâll get a big head! Just call me Xiaodao! My Gladeus is in the boonies, so I donât really know proper etiquette. My looks are on the rough side, too, so donât be humble!â the person chuckled. Etherean Gladeus was actually very famous on Ebonia as the Lin Clanâs strongest clansman. However, most people had only heard of him, but didnât know what he looked like or how his personality was.
However, rumor had it that he liked to act pretentious.
âLin Xiaodao?â âLin Little Daoâ was a weird name, so most referred to him as Etherean Gladeus, which had more gravitas.
Lin Xiao had met him before, but that was very long ago. Such a person coming here from the distant Gladeus made things more delicate.
Chi Hun looked at him for a full ten seconds, then said, âEtherean Lin, did you just say to take me on one on two?â
âYep, yep! Look, this little bro here heard a genius popped up in my clan, so I was thinking of taking him as my disciple! So I had to be polite and come personally! But lo and behold, heâs in your hands now. And just when I was feeling all sad, I heard Big Bro Rex Mundi wanting to give our second patriarch a chance. And I thought, hey, thatâs what I need, too! So I wanted to fight you with the second patriarch. Do you think itâs possible?â So saying, Lin Xiaodao clasped his hands together and eagerly looked at Chi Hun.
âDonât worry, bro. Even if you lose, itâs not like Iâll dare kill you! Your family is a big business while my Lin Clanâs a small set-up. We canât offend you! Iâll just take back my disciple. Speaking of disciples⦠listen to my story. Itâs a tear-jerker! My parents died when I was young and didnât give me any siblings. I was also born ugly, so I still havenât found a girl who likes me yet. My line is at risk of ending with me and I just start sobbing every time I think of that. Iâm letting down my ancestors here! But maybe I can get a good disciple to succeed me? Give me a chance, bro!â Lin Xiaodao shot out words rapid fire, dumping a whole slew of babbling on everyone.
The field turned silent and everyone looked at Chi Hun. Etherean Gladeus was challenging the tenth rex mundi? Would he accept?
âRex mundi, be careful. If heâs initiating the challenge, somethingâs off,â people next to Chi Hun reminded him.
When Chi Hun looked at them, they all shut up. âI hear Etherean Gladeus is mighty. If itâs two on one, let me consider it first.â Chi Hun entered Nethersoul. He took out a gold transmission stone and quickly relayed the situation to a pair of golden eyes.
âWhat do you think, Chi Hun?â
âThis person is worth more than Lin Xiao and thereâs never been a chance to kill him since heâs always in Gladeus. If we can take this chance, itâll solve a problem,â Chi Hun said.
