199: Lao Lin's arrival

Wei Tieshan interjected, “If this Gu Shan is a member of the Xuan Yue Wolf Clan, then the intelligence about him allying with Gui Gu should be true. After all, the feud between the Xuan Yue Wolf Clan and the War God Hall is no secret in the Great World. As long as Ghost Dragon reveals my existence, Gu Shan will definitely agree to deal with the Heavenly Palace.”

Chen Li nodded, “No wonder these two, who had no prior connection, formed an alliance. With that layer of enmity, it makes perfect sense.”

Hei Bu Guan then said, “We also need to guard against that group of Heavenly Gods who attacked General Wei last time. They almost succeeded.”

Wei Tieshan was displeased to hear Hei Bu Guan so unreservedly bring up the embarrassing incident of him being hunted, “Last time, it was a matter of many bullying few. In a one-on-one fight, I would absolutely not fear him.”

The others all smiled at this.

Just as everyone was chatting animatedly, a long-bearded man appeared in the void outside the domain, leading a team of several hundred people.

Looking at the domain before him, Lin Batian politely knocked on the door.

Chen Li was the first to sense the change in the barrier and instantly disappeared from his spot.

Wei Tieshan also disappeared shortly after.

Then, just as the others reacted, Chen Li, Wei Tieshan, and the long-bearded man had already arrived in the meeting room.

Chen Li said to Hei Bu Guan, “Xiao Hei, there are five hundred Heavenly God Realm experts outside. Go make arrangements.”

Hei Bu Guan’s mind went blank: Five hundred Heavenly Gods? I’m to arrange it?

He then left, feeling dizzy, to make the arrangements.

After entering the meeting room, Lin Batian glanced at the people around him without speaking, then sat down in a chair to the side.

Wei Tieshan saw this and chuckled, “My boss, Old Lin, an Invincible Celestial Gods.”

He then introduced everyone present to Lin Batian.

Lin Batian was very aloof, displaying the same expression, or rather, no expression at all, to everyone, like someone with facial paralysis.

It wasn’t until Wei Tieshan introduced Chen Li that Lin Batian’s eyes lit up, and he slowly spoke, “The cultivation talent of people from the Initial Domain is indeed extraordinary. Shall we spar sometime?”

Chen Li didn’t respond directly, only looking at Wei Tieshan.

Wei Tieshan scratched his head, “My boss is a martial arts fanatic. He has sparred with God Kings many times. Although he always gets beaten badly, he never tires of it.”

Even though Wei Tieshan said this, Lin Batian showed no hint of anger.

It was as if fighting and sparring occupied his entire life, and everything else was insignificant.

Seeing Wei Tieshan say this, Chen Li also looked at Lin Batian, nodded, and said, “When the Heavenly Palace unifies the Chaotic Realm, we can let loose and have a good spar.”

In truth, for them, having cultivated to the Invincible Celestial Gods, sparring rarely offered new insights, especially when it wasn't a life-or-death battle.

So Chen Li played a trick, agreeing first and planning to deal with it later.

Lin Batian didn't care about perfunctory responses; he simply nodded in agreement.

During the subsequent meeting, Lin Batian remained silent, like a stone carving.

However, when Hei Bu Guan returned, he brought a soldier from the War God Hall.

As soon as this person entered the meeting room, he immediately saluted Wei Tieshan, “Greetings, Sixth God General.”

After embracing the newcomer, Wei Tieshan sat down and said, “What Sixth God General? I am now the Sixth Protector of the Heavenly Palace.”

Having said that, Wei Tieshan introduced the newcomer to everyone again, “Zhan Tian, the camp commander of the Zhan Character Battalion of the War God Hall. He is a King Realm Heavenly God. This guy is very skilled in strategy. Why don’t you all discuss the rest of the meeting, and Old Lin and I will withdraw first.”

Chen Li nodded, “Alright.”

He then began to discuss the situation in the Chaotic Realm with Zhan Tian.

Wei Tieshan and Lin Batian then took the opportunity to leave the meeting room.

The two went directly into the void.

Lin Batian asked, “The Young Master is eighteen? And already at the peak of True God Realm?”

Although it was a question, Wei Tieshan could see the look of disbelief on his face.

Wei Tieshan chuckled, “Not the peak of True God Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Batian nodded. After all, it seemed unrealistic to become the peak of True God Realm immediately after advancing to True God Realm.

“He is an Invincible True God. On the battlefield of the Chaos Alliance, he single-handedly slayed tens of thousands of True Gods. This was just told to me by Chen Li in the meeting.”

While Lin Batian was still speculating, Wei Tieshan spoke these words again.

After hearing Wei Tieshan’s words, Lin Batian’s expression changed slightly.

He said, “When I came, Hall Master Zhuge instructed me that if the Young Master’s talent is truly extraordinary, then our War God Hall must change its course of action to better protect the Young Master.”

Wei Tieshan pondered for a moment, then leisurely said, “I haven't even told Hall Master Zhuge, but I'm telling you now: the Young Master has recognized the Ling Tian Pagoda as his master.”

Lin Batian, who seemed indifferent to everything, was truly stunned by this statement this time.

He stared at Wei Tieshan in disbelief, “Recognized as master?”

After all, even Ling Tian himself couldn’t successfully recognize the Ling Tian Pagoda as his master back then, which shows how difficult it is.

In fact, Xun Xiuyuan’s recognition of the Ling Tian Pagoda was quite coincidental. With his high mental strength, and using exotic beast value to recover when his mental strength was depleted, the system's advantages were perfectly utilized. It would have been difficult for him not to succeed.

Lin Batian pondered for a while and then said, “There will be no God Kings making a move in the Chaotic Realm battles. We should be able to protect the Young Master. If he steps out of the Chaotic Realm, we’ll see then.”

Wei Tieshan nodded in agreement. For nearly a thousand years, the battles in the Chaotic Realm have never ceased, but God Kings not making a move has become an unwritten rule that everyone collectively abides by.

Ghost Dragon entered a fog-shrouded domain deep within Gui Gu. Upon entering, Ghost Dragon instantly teleported to the top of a tall mountain.

A figure sat on the mountaintop, covered in dust.

Ghost Dragon stood behind him, silent. He knew that the strategist had already awakened.

After a long while, a hoarse voice sounded, “Valley Master, why have you come? Has something major happened?”

Ghost Dragon fully disclosed the recent events, then stood still.

The strategist turned his head and looked at Ghost Dragon.

A pale face appeared before Ghost Dragon’s eyes, revealing that he was actually a human.

The pale-faced strategist stared at Ghost Dragon and asked, “You didn’t happen to learn somewhere that I was injured by a God General from the War God Hall, and that’s why you’re deliberately telling me all this, are you?”

Ghost Dragon had no idea that his strategist had been injured by the War God Hall.

He immediately explained, “Strategist, I truly didn’t know. I just felt that I couldn’t match them, so I allied with Gu Shan to resist the Heavenly Palace.”

Seeing that Ghost Dragon seemed genuinely unaware, the strategist didn’t ask any further questions.

He opened his mouth and inhaled towards the sky, and the fog throughout the entire world seemed to be drawn in, swirling into the strategist’s mouth.

After absorbing all the fog in the domain, the strategist looked at the sky and leisurely said, “Wei Tieshan, consider this interest.”
