Free Web NovelChapter 638: Chapter 442: Who Do You Think You Are? The Prestige of the Divine Pill Pavilion
Guo Yunchu shouted angrily.
But Lin Chang’sheng didn’t show even the slightest trace of fear.
He had already killed He Jie today, making an enemy of the Immortal Martial Hall—was he supposed to be afraid of killing the daughter of a pope now?
If she pissed him off, Guo Yunchu shouldn’t expect to walk out of here alive.
"I don’t care how furious the Immortal Martial Hall can get. Right now, let me show you how furious I am!"
Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t about to spoil someone acting like a spoiled little princess.
In the Immortal Realm, everything is decided by strength.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chang’sheng threw a punch straight at Guo Yunchu.
This punch was anything but ordinary—far more overbearing than the Dragon Tiger Heaven-Burning Palm.
It was none other than the Ten Directions Dragon God Fist.
With one punch, ten golden Divine Dragons shot out, their might utterly dominant.
Roar—
Roar—
The roars of those powerful Divine Dragons shook the heavens and earth.
With overwhelming force, they charged toward Guo Yunchu’s direction.
Guo Yunchu had never seen such a fearsome Fist Aura—she froze in place, utterly at a loss.
Luckily, Liao Xinghu reacted fast enough, immediately striking out to block it.
BOOM—
High in the air, the two attacks collided violently, erupting in an earth-shattering explosion.
Even Liao Xinghu, an elder of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect, couldn’t gain an advantage against Lin Chang’sheng’s punch.
He was blasted several yards backward and only managed to steady himself because someone caught him.
"What a tyrannical Fist Aura!"
Liao Xinghu muttered to himself.
If this punch had landed on Guo Yunchu, she probably would’ve died on the spot.
That kind of fierce aura completely scared Guo Yunchu into silence.
"Everyone, this brat is getting out of hand! If we don’t join forces and kill him today, he’ll be completely uncontrollable in the future! I hope all sect elders will join me!"
Liao Xinghu tried to rally the sect elders.
He thought Lin Chang’sheng was already this strong now—give him a little more time and no one here could restrain him.
The elders of the Great Immortal Sects all nodded when they heard Liao Xinghu—he was making sense.
But whether they could really take on Lin Chang’sheng was another matter.
Was it really worth the risk?
"Everyone, I ask you to hear me out—"
Just as the crowd hesitated, Wu Gang tore through the sky and hovered high above them.
"You might not know this, but Lin Chang’sheng is already an honored guest elder of my Divine Pill Pavilion. He’s under our protection. If you hurt him, Divine Pill Pavilion will not stand by and do nothing. I hope the elders of all Great Immortal Sects can give us this much respect!"
Wu Gang said courteously.
Hearing this, the elders’ brows all furrowed together.
Since when did Lin Chang’sheng become an honored guest elder of Divine Pill Pavilion?
The Divine Pill Pavilion’s rank and connections weren’t anything to scoff at!
Even though it was just an alchemy influence, its network of connections was incredibly strong.
Many Great Immortal Sects sought more than half their elixirs from the Divine Pill Pavilion every month.
If they killed Lin Chang’sheng and angered Divine Pill Pavilion, it really wouldn’t be worth the price.
"Are you insane? Do you not know Lin Chang’sheng is an evil cultivator? If he grows stronger, he’ll bring disaster to the Immortal Realm! And yet your Divine Pill Pavilion protects him?"
Liao Xinghu scolded, thinking the Divine Pill Pavilion had lost its mind.
"Evil cultivator? How could Elder Lin possibly be an evil cultivator? I can’t sense any Evil Qi in his body at all! Even if he cultivated an evil technique, that doesn’t automatically make him an evil cultivator, does it?"
"For the record, Divine Pill Pavilion has eyes and ears all over the Immortal Realm. If anyone knows whether Lin Chang’sheng is an evil cultivator, it’s us. He comes from the Immortal Relic Land and has absolutely no ties to evil cultivators!"
Wu Gang explained everything he knew.
This shocked the elders of the Great Immortal Sects.
Lin Chang’sheng was really from the Abandoned Land? And he still had such incredible talent?
If what Wu Gang said was true, then maybe Lin Chang’sheng really wasn’t an evil cultivator. freewebnøvel.com
"So practicing evil techniques doesn’t make you an evil cultivator? Then what does?"
Liao Xinghu argued relentlessly, refusing to let Lin Chang’sheng off.
"Elder Liao, that’s not right. Evil techniques are just another kind of Immortal Technique—it all depends on how they’re used. Are you saying no one’s ever used Immortal Techniques for evil in the Immortal Realm?"
"And anyone who uses evil techniques must be a bad person?"
Wu Gang and Liao Xinghu squared off.
The surrounding sect elders started to think Wu Gang had a point.
After all, Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t actually done anything out of line.
The Spirit Mountain Elders he’d killed had all been trying to kill him first.
Even today, He Jie was killed only because he tried to take the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure from Lin Chang’sheng and brought death upon himself.
"Plus, I pledge on my very life and on Divine Pill Pavilion—Lin Chang’sheng will never harm the Immortal Realm!"
Seeing the elders waver, Wu Gang swore an oath, "If Lin Chang’sheng ever brings harm to the Immortal Realm, Divine Pill Pavilion will be the first to deal with him!"
The sect elders grew even more hesitant after Wu Gang swore that oath.
First he got the support of the Immortal Palace, now Divine Pill Pavilion had his back too.
Could they actually have been wrong about him?
"In that case, our Infinite Immortal Sect will no longer get involved. If Lin Chang’sheng ever threatens the Immortal Realm, we’ll leave it to the Immortal Palace and Divine Pill Pavilion!"
The Infinite Immortal Palace elder left those words behind and turned to leave.
He knew that if the fighting continued, they wouldn’t get anything out of it.
After all, Lin Chang’sheng had managed to kill someone like He Jie, a Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse. Chances were, they couldn’t do anything to Lin Chang’sheng either.
Pushing Lin Chang’sheng any further would only get more people killed—maybe it would even be themselves next.
"Our Piaomiao Sect will also stay out of it!"
"Refining God Sect too, farewell!"
"Five Peaks Sect, we’re out!"
...
As the sect elders spoke, people started to leave one after another.
Soon, only Liao Xinghu of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect and Guo Yunchu remained, both unwilling to go.
Seeing the tide had turned, Liao Xinghu knew he had no choice.
"Fine, Lin Chang’sheng—I’ll let you go this time. But if you ever threaten the Immortal Realm, I’ll be the first to come for you!"
With those words, Liao Xinghu turned and left as well.
Guo Yunchu was suddenly left alone.
"Elder Liao—"
Seeing Elder Liao walking off, Guo Yunchu called out helplessly.
But Liao Xinghu disappeared over the horizon without even looking back.
"Lin Chang’sheng, just you wait! The Immortal Martial Hall will not let you off!"
Guo Yunchu knew she couldn’t deal with Lin Chang’sheng herself, so she spat out a vicious threat and hurried away.
If she stayed any longer and Lin Chang’sheng made a move, there would be no one left to help her.
"That line should come from me. If I see you next time, you won’t be so lucky!"
Lin Chang’sheng scoffed.
This girl really needed to get taught a lesson.
Soon, all the elders of the Great Immortal Sects had departed.
Thankfully, the conflict didn’t escalate; otherwise, every sect elder here would have died at Lin Chang’sheng’s hands. At that point, even if he’d been in the right, it wouldn’t have mattered.
"Another powerful enemy,"
Lin Chang’sheng murmured quietly.
The Immortal Martial Hall wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
But as long as he stayed in the Immortal Palace or Divine Pill Pavilion, he was safe for now.
Even if they wanted him dead, they wouldn’t blindly make enemies of both those major powers—especially Divine Pill Pavilion.
The Divine Pill Pavilion might look like just an alchemy influence, but its network was unbelievably complex.
All it would take is one call from Divine Pill Pavilion and a bunch of hidden sects and Immortal Realm heavyweights would come running.
Pissing off Divine Pill Pavilion would be a truly stupid move.
"Elder Lin, you’re really incredible! Is it true you killed a Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse?"
With the crowd gone, Wu Gang admired Lin Chang’sheng even more.
"I don’t have that kind of strength. It was just a senior passing by who gave me a hand,"
Lin Chang’sheng brushed him off. "I should be thanking you, Alchemist Wu—without your help, I would’ve been in real trouble. If you ever need anything, just say the word."
Wu Gang heard this and knew Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t going to tell him the full truth, so he didn’t press further.
"Why wait? I need your help right now. I’ve been researching the Spirit Revival Pill but keep failing to refine it. Could you give me some pointers, Elder Lin?"
Wu Gang smiled as he spoke.
"No problem, happy to help!"
Lin Chang’sheng replied with a laugh, and the two of them headed for the Alchemy Room.
After all, Wu Gang had just done him a big favor—helping with elixir refinement was the least he could do.
"That guy really has nine lives,"
Liu Siyue muttered, unwilling to accept it.
All the Great Immortal Sect elders had closed in, but in the end, none of them took action—they actually just withdrew.
Was it because they feared Divine Pill Pavilion or Lin Chang’sheng?
"Junior sister, that kid’s no joke. You’d better not mess with him in the future,"
From nearby, Zhan Shao cautioned Liu Siyue.
They used to think Lin Chang’sheng was a nobody, but not anymore.
Now he was someone even the Great Immortal Sect elders feared.
Liu Siyue agreed on the surface, but deep inside she was still unconvinced—if the chance arose, she’d be sure to settle the score one day.
