Chapter 28 - Little Marten: Lin Langtian, a Mere Reputation

The impact of the Death of a Qi Creation Realm expert was quite significant. After all, in Heavenly Capital County, Qi Creation Realm experts were already at the pinnacle.

Lin Xuan, a name that these experts had privately dubbed the number one genius of the Great Yan Dynasty, was like an invisible mountain, weighing heavily on everyone's mind.

Although Lin Xuan had returned to his tent after killing the Qi Creation Realm expert with a single sword and had not shown his face since, the other teams had unanimously distanced themselves from the Lin Clan's team, demonstrating their respect.

Even the Wang Clan, which had lost a Qi Creation Realm expert, didn't dare to utter a fart and could only meekly give up the best campsite in the center.

Under this calm yet oppressive atmosphere, the next day finally arrived.

The next day, when dawn descended upon the camp, it brought a restrained excitement and eagerness. Many people looked towards the flat-topped mountain in the distance.

Clearly, many knew that today was the day the four major clans had agreed upon to jointly break the seal.

Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on a large blue stone, his eyes lightly closed, quietly adjusting his breathing, allowing the breeze to rustle through the forest, stirring his clothes.

Compared to Lin Xuan's tranquility and leisure, the other experts around him would occasionally turn their heads to look at the white-robed figure sitting on the blue stone, their eyes flashing with awe.

In this quiet wait, time gradually came to noon, and the atmosphere in the camp became hotter with the rising temperature.

At noon, when the scorching sun was in the sky, the weather was at its hottest, but this hot temperature did not affect the enthusiasm of the adventurers; on the contrary, it ignited the eagerness and desire in their hearts.

Because the person who had been sitting cross-legged on the blue stone, the man who seemed like a celestial being, suddenly moved.

Under countless gazes, both overt and covert, Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and then looked up at the sky. In his perception, four remarkable auras were rapidly approaching.

And behind those four auras, there was another aura that even Lin Xuan needed to take seriously!

"They're here!"

Lin Xuan said softly. Lin Ke'er, Lin Dong, and the others nearby couldn't help but look up, but the clear blue sky was empty.

However, after a short while, Lin Dong and Lin Ke'er both narrowed their eyes, because they both sensed that the Origin Power between heaven and earth was showing signs of boiling.

"'Whoosh!'"

The next moment, a sharp sound of rushing through the air entered everyone's ears, and then, in the northern sky, a red light was rapidly cutting through the sky, flying towards them.

The red light was like a shooting star, breaking through the air, and even the Origin Power between heaven and earth was stirred by it. Its momentum was undeniably grand.

As the red light rapidly approached, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people in the camp, and surprised gazes were cast towards it.

"'Screech!'"

Under the gazes of many, the red light continued to grow larger. When it approached, everyone was surprised to find that it was actually a magnificent giant eagle with a scarlet body.

As the divine eagle's wings vibrated, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder. When the divine eagle slowly stopped in the air, countless eyes immediately locked onto the figure on the back of the Scarlet Giant Eagle.

A young man in green shirt, standing with his hands behind his back, the breeze blowing, his clothes fluttering, exuding an air of arrogance in every move, and he never even lowered his head to glance at the bottom.

However, after seeing the Green Shirt figure, many people in the camp subconsciously turned their attention to the ordinary-looking, unremarkable white-robed figure. For some reason, compared to the Green Shirt man, they felt that Lin Xuan looked even more outstanding.

The flamboyant and arrogant temperament of the Green Shirt man was like a ferocious, flaunting male beast, which might inspire awe, but this awe was more due to the other party's identity and strength.

In the end, what they feared was not Lin Langtian the person, but Lin Langtian, the number one genius of the Lin Clan, who had risen by enjoying so many resources.

However, when facing Lin Xuan, they would subconsciously ignore his origins, because just this person, this figure who seemed like a normal person walking in the world, was worthy of their awe.

Just like now, even if Lin Xuan didn't reveal any aura, as long as someone had seen him and remembered him, they would always involuntarily turn their heads to look at him.

Even more than fear, they felt admiration. They both possessed arrogance, but when facing Lin Xuan, they wouldn't harbor any dissatisfaction in their hearts. Because even if they were all standing together, they were very clear in their hearts that that person was not from the same world as them.

However, when facing the Green Shirt youth, many people frowned slightly.

At this moment, Lin Dong, standing in the Lin Clan's ranks, narrowed his eyes slightly after learning the identity of the person in front of him from Lin Ke'er, Lin Xue, and the others, staring at that handsome and extraordinary figure.

"Lin Langtian!"

From the beginning of his cultivation, this name had been engraved in his heart, the goal he had been striving to pursue!

"The eagle beneath his feet..."

When he shifted his gaze from Lin Langtian to the Scarlet Giant Eagle beneath his feet, Lin Dong's pupils also suddenly shrank, because he sensed something was wrong. That eagle didn't seem like a real creature.

A voice echoed lazily in Lin Dong's heart, full of casual disdain.

"Formed from Origin Power," Little Marten scoffed. "But lacking refinement. It's barely stepped into the Qi Creation Realm. His comprehension is weak, if he understood more, that construct's aura would shake mountains."

Lin Dong's brow furrowed. "You're saying…?"

At this time, Little Marten's voice slowly echoed in Lin Dong's heart.

"Hmph," Little Marten huffed. "Not to mention that monstrous Lin Xuan, even you, at the same realm, could manifest a stronger construct. The title of 'number one genius' in your Lin Clan might be a bit… overstated."

"Little Marten, are you serious?"

Little Marten's words made Lin Dong's heart stir slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, causing Little Marten to roll his eyes.

"What would I gain from lying?" Little Marten yawned in his mind. "This Lin Langtian? With that level of control over Qi Creation, he wouldn't even rank in some remote corner of the world. But with talent so meager, to still reach this level… hmm, curious. There's something more at play."
