Chapter 2443: Chapter 2443 - 2443 You’re So Weak

2443 You’re So Weak

Even Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long were pleasantly surprised and in disbelief, let alone Lin Lei and his sister.

However, the two of them were experienced and knowledgeable. When they thought about the variables revealed by Desolate Martial, they could still maintain their composure.

Lin Lei’s face was filled with shock. His mind was in a mess from the news and he could not process it for a moment.

He tried his best to organize his thoughts and asked, “No, wait a moment. Desolate Martial is only a Perfected Immortal. How can he break through the void and escape from Langfeng City?”

Fairy Ling Long said, “If Desolate Martial has the Hell Suppression Tripod in his hands, he should have already taken over Avici and established a passage with it so that he can return there at any time.”

“Isn’t the Hell Suppression Tripod with…”

Lin Zhan had once heard Fairy Ling Long mention that the reason why Su Zimo survived his ascension was because he was hiding in the Hell Suppression Tripod.

However, before he could finish, he recalled that Su Zimo and Desolate Martial were the same person to begin with.

It was not surprising that the tripod Hell Suppression Tripod was in the hands of Desolate Martial.

Lin Lei still had many doubts that he could not understand and asked, “Wait, more than ten Immortal Kings descended and watched Desolate Martial leave Langfeng City without doing anything?”

“Yes, someone did something.”

The guard nodded hurriedly and said, “In a fit of anger, an Immortal King chased after him and…”

At that point, the guard suddenly gulped, as though he had a lingering fear.

“And then what?”

Lin Lei asked impatiently.

The guard said, “Thereafter, not long after, the Immortal King died.”

“…”

Lin Lei and Lin Luo were dumbfounded and their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

An existence like an Immortal King who was almost at his peak in the upper world… died?

Furthermore, he died under unknown circumstances!

Instinctively, Lin Lei looked at Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long in confusion.

When Fairy Ling Long heard the news and knew that Desolate Martial was fine, she relaxed as well. Smiling, she explained, “Desolate Martial broke through the void and returned to Avici. The Immortal King chased after him as well.”

“How dangerous is Avici? Even Emperor-level experts can’t come out alive!”

“Desolate Martial is naturally not in danger with the Hell Suppression Tripod guarding him. However, for that Immortal King expert who went in, wasn’t that the same as committing suicide?”

“I see.”

Lin Lei was enlightened.

The guard grinned slightly. “I heard that the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain suffered immense losses in this battle. More than half of their Perfected Immortal experts died alongside the five City Lords of their immortal cities. There’s definitely no chance for them to fight for the Perfected Immortal Ranking at the Nine Firmament Meet.”

Lin Zhan smiled and praised, “He turned the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain upside down singlehandedly and severely injured the immortality cultivation world. This damage will definitely take tens of thousands of years to recover. More than that, he even managed to escape unscathed! Impressive!”

“Desolate Martial will definitely become famous in the Heavenly World and shock the Nine Firmament with this battle!”

Fairy Ling Long smiled. “Actually, Desolate Martial’s name has already spread through the Heavenly World a thousand years ago.”

“He underwent the Tenth Tribulation, annihilated an army of a million fiends and slayed the Supreme Perfected Fiend. Those were enough for him to be famous throughout the world. However, almost no one believed those rumors.”

“In this battle, countless cultivators witnessed Desolate Martial wreaking havoc in Langfeng City and killing thousands of Perfected Immortals. He killed the City Lords of the five immortal cities, trapped an Immortal King to death and escaped unscathed!”

“From this day forth, none of the paragons and monster incarnates in the world will dare to look down on him anymore.”

When Lin Lei saw that his parents admired Desolate Martial immensely and were not stingy with their praises, he could not help but feel jealous.

Indeed, he admired Desolate Martial’s methods. However, he had been extremely outstanding among his peers since he was young and his parents had never praised him as such.

Furthermore, Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long were praising Desolate Martial right in front of him—that made him feel even more upset.

Lin Lei said, “Desolate Martial’s combat strength is indeed strong. However, isn’t he too reckless with his actions? He was merely pursuing an adrenaline rush and doesn’t know how to take into account the bigger picture!”

“Although he killed to his heart’s content by barging into Langfeng City this time round and became famous throughout the world, he has also formed a feud with the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain.”

“I’m certain that the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain will definitely make a huge move to take revenge on Desolate Martial and his Tianhuang Sect!”

“Desolate Martial has the Hell Suppression Tripod and can hide in Avici at any moment. However, what about Tianhuang Sect? His actions will bring about a calamity for Tianhuang Sect!”

Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long exchanged glances and nodded to themselves.

Lin Lei’s words made sense.

Unexpectedly, when the guard heard that, he waved it off. “That won’t happen. It’s said that the Immortal Kings of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain have decided to reconsider things at length.”

“Huh?”

Lin Lei’s eyes widened as he asked, “How is that possible? Thousands of Perfected Immortals, the City Lords of five immortal cities and an Immortal King… the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain decided to let go of such a huge loss and deep feud?”

The guard replied, “The exact reason is unknown, but I heard that it has something to do with a mask.”

“However, the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain had indeed not taken revenge and merely focused on rebuilding Langfeng City. The Immortal Kings returned and did not appear again as well.”

“Mask?”

Lin Lei had a lost expression and looked towards Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long instinctively.

He felt that his understanding of the world had been challenged continuously for the past hour and he could no longer think properly.

The reaction of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain was beyond Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Ling’s expectations as well.

“Mask, mask…”

Fairy Ling Long murmured softly, “What mask can make the Immortal Kings of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain so wary? Could it be…”

Suddenly, a possibility crossed her mind.

At the same time, Lin Zhan seemed to have understood something as he nodded to Fairy Ling Long. “That should be the case. That mask is probably the only thing that can be so intimidating.”

Fairy Ling Long suddenly smiled. “To think that Desolate Martial would have so many secrets. I wonder what’s his relationship with that person.”

Lin Zhan burst into laughter. “The Jade Firmament Immortal Domain will have no choice but to take this loss.”

Lin Luo was engrossed at the side and did not say anything the entire time. At that moment, she snapped out of his stupor and could not help but clap and praise, “Desolate Martial is amazing!”

Among her peers, she had admired Lin Lei the most since she was young.

But now, she suddenly realized that her brother was much inferior compared to Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain.

Lin Luo patted Lin Lei on the shoulder with a grin and teased, “Brother, you’re so weak compared to him!”

Lin Lei was already dejected. Now that his own sister stabbed him once more, he was extremely agitated and nearly fainted from the shock.

Lin Lei’s face darkened as he snapped, “Your judgment isn’t that good either. The Su Zimo you fancy is far inferior compared to Desolate Martial!”

“When did I ever say that I fancied him?!”

Lin Luo argued.

Lin Lei pouted and continued, “Notwithstanding Desolate Martial, that frail scholar is worlds compared to me!”

Lin Luo ran to Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long hurriedly and wheedled, “Father, mother, look at him! He’s bullying me again!”

Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Ling Long exchanged glances.

Lin Zhan sneered and glared at Lin Lei in a huff.

Fairy Ling Long shook her head gently and said meaningfully, “Lei’er, don’t underestimate others. Perhaps one day, you might realize that you couldn’t be any wronger.”
