Chương 1622: Trò chuyện

Lâm Vũ, is the direct disciple of Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ!

Xương tiên sinh's words instantly plunged the entire scene into dead silence. The previously restless environment instantly became still, and everyone widened their eyes, staring at Lâm Vũ in disbelief.

You must know that Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ is a mighty Divine Emperor, a super powerhouse standing at the peak of the entire Primordial Chaos World. Being able to become Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ's disciple is in itself a heavenly opportunity!

Over the years, Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ has taken in a few disciples, but there are only two public direct disciples. Moreover, both of them have become Divine Venerable powerhouses, ranking among the Nine Great Divine Generals.

In other words, as long as one can become Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ's direct disciple, barring any accidents, at the very least they will become a Divine Venerable powerhouse. And now, Lâm Vũ has become Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ's third public direct disciple!

"Not only that, Lord Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ also holds Lâm Vũ in extremely high regard, even specially creating a secret technique for Lâm Vũ and bestowing Lâm Vũ with a special treasure."

"It is precisely because of this secret technique and treasure that Lâm Vũ is able to possess such combat power at the ordinary half-step Mighty level!"

"Furthermore, this secret technique and treasure were originally tailored specifically for Lâm Vũ. Even if others were to obtain them, they would at most only be able to unleash ten percent of their might."

"For the sake of a treasure and a secret technique that may not even suit oneself, to make a move against Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ's direct disciple, I suppose such foolish things should not be done by you all, right?"

As he spoke, Xương tiên sinh's gaze swept across the crowd. Although that gaze was calm, it made everyone feel an invisible and tremendous pressure.

"No wonder Lâm Vũ's strength is so astonishing. So it turns out to be because of Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ!"

"Forget it, forget it. To offend Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ for the sake of such an illusory benefit is indeed too foolish. Perhaps before any benefits can be reaped, one's own life would be lost first!"

Soon, everyone shook their heads in unison, completely extinguishing any thoughts of making a move against Lâm Vũ.

"This fellow actually turns out to be Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ's direct disciple!"

This scene also caused Cơ Trần's expression to turn unsightly to the extreme. Just because of a few brief words from Xương tiên sinh, a deadly trap that could have spelled doom for Lâm Vũ and Khương Lan Nguyệt was thus easily resolved.

At the same time, Lâm Vũ's identity forced him to feel incomparable dread. The weight of being Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ's direct disciple was simply too heavy!

"Retreat first, discuss everything else from a long-term perspective!"

With a cold snort, he took the lead and retreated back into the Star Moon Palace, while the rest of the crowd followed with gloomy faces. In the blink of an eye, all the warriors on Cơ Trần's side had returned to the Star Moon Palace.

"You have all worked hard in this battle."

Seeing this, Khương Lan Nguyệt waved his hand, and a war fortress with boundless starlight shimmering across its surface suddenly emerged: "Next, we will rest for a while and adjust our respective states."

In this battle, the forces wielded by both sides were incomparably formidable. For either side to quickly rout the other was practically impossible; this battle was destined to last for a very long time.

Khương Lan Nguyệt had naturally anticipated this point long ago, and this war fortress was specially prepared for such a time.

"Let's go."

Immediately, True Monarch Vulcan and the others shook their heads and soon entered the war fortress, with only Lâm Vũ remaining standing in place without moving.

"Lâm Vũ."

At the same time, Xương tiên sinh's gaze looked toward Lâm Vũ. With a step forward, his figure appeared right in front of Lâm Vũ, and then with a wave of his hand, he swiftly set up a layer of invisible restrictions.

With this layer of restriction concealing them, even powerhouses at the Divine Venerable level would be unable to detect the conversation between the two of them.

"It seems you still have some doubts about what I said just now?"

Looking at the respectful Lâm Vũ before him, Xương tiên sinh let out a faint laugh and said, "If you have any questions, just speak your mind."

"Yes."

Lâm Vũ immediately bowed respectfully, then said, "Master Xương tiên sinh, if I remember correctly, I am only Lord Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ's nominal disciple, but just now..."

"Hahaha."

Before Lâm Vũ could finish speaking, Xương tiên sinh burst into laughter and said, "Lâm Vũ, did you really think what I said just now was merely to fool others?"

"True, regarding the secret technique and the treasure, I completely made that up, but the matter of you becoming Lord Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ's direct disciple, I would never dare to spout nonsense about!"

"In fact, back when Lord Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ met you that time, he had already decided to take you in as a direct disciple, only he didn't tell you at the time. Could it be, Lâm Vũ, that you are unwilling to become Lord Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ's direct disciple?"

As he spoke, a trace of teasing a smile appeared on Xương tiên sinh's face as he looked at Lâm Vũ with great interest.

"Naturally not!"

Lâm Vũ immediately shook his head and said solemnly, "Being able to become Lord Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ's direct disciple is something countless people dream of. Of course I have no objections."

"That's good."

Xương tiên sinh nodded, his expression turning solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Lâm Vũ, this time I exposed your identity in broad daylight. Although it resolved your immediate trouble, in the long run, this might not necessarily be a good thing for you."

"In this Primordial Chaos World, there are far too many people who do not want to see Lord Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ take on another direct disciple! Aside from those powerless fellows, the rest are none of them easy to deal with."

"If it were only the internal factions of our human race, that would be one thing; bound by the Hong Alliance, they wouldn't dare go too far. But those alien races are different. Once they learn that our human race has produced another supreme genius, they will certainly rack their brains by any means possible to assassinate you!"

"Alien races?"

Lâm Vũ's expression sank. He also knew that although the human race was the pinnacle race of the Primordial Chaos World, it was not an absolutely invincible existence. Powers like the Zerg and the God race possessed strength that did not fall short of the human race.

Moreover, through endless years, these alien races had constantly been trying every possible means to infiltrate human territory, and assassinations of supreme human geniuses had happened more than once.

One could well imagine that once news of him becoming Thời Không Lĩnh Chủ's direct disciple spread, the powerful figures of those alien races would definitely resort to every possible trick to assassinate him!

"Besides that, what worries me the most is not those alien races, but the forces behind the Demon God Society!"

Pausing for a moment, Xương tiên sinh's expression grew even more solemn as he said in a low voice, "Within human territory, those alien races after all cannot act too wildly, but the forces behind the Demon God Society are different. This faction can be called the biggest tumor in the entire Primordial Chaos World!"
