Chapter 1961. Sudden Turn! (1/2)

“Celestial Emperor, what is the meaning of this?” Grand Empyrean Wu Feng stared at the Celestial Emperor’s shadow around the Empyrean Exalt.

“Wu Feng, no need to be angry. Ming Dao didn’t hurt anyone and didn’t break any rules.” The Celestial Emperor’s shadow around the cultivator smiled, but he had an expression as if he couldn’t be questioned. He didn’t even look at Wang Lin, who was outside the transfer array.

“Not to mention, if Wang Lin didn’t leave the transfer array and the finger landed, his divine sense would have been damaged during the transfer. Forget violating the rules, this kind of behavior is extremely shameless!” Grand Empyrean Wu Feng waved his sleeve and showed no sign of retreat.

Celestial Emperor Wu Feng smiled and said, “Wu Feng, your words are a bit too much. Is the child injured?”

Wu Feng coldly looked at the Celestial Emperor but didn’t speak.

“Since no damage was done, what need is there to act like this? Wu Feng, I know you want to recruit this child and I won’t fight with you. This kind of cultivator…” The Celestial Emperor lowered his head to look at Wang Lin.

“Is worthless. He has the soul armor, so he can pass the 13th palace. But without the soul armor, it would’ve been difficult for him to become an Ascendant Empyrean!” the Celestial Emperor said in a casual tone.

He was the Celestial Emperor, Grand Empyrean Eight Extreme. His words meant more than any Ascendant Empyrean’s. His words set off a storm in the Empyrean Trial!

Almost no Empyrean Exalts and Ascendant Empyreans here knew that Wang Lin had a soul armor. They thought Wang Lin had passed through the 13th palace with his own strength. However, after the Celestial Emperor spoke, a buzz of discussion erupted!

“He has a soul armor!!! This man is actually so shameless!”

“I was wondering how he could climb from the fifth palace to the 13th palace. It turns out that he relied on the power of the soul armor. Even I can do that!”

“No wonder he passed through the palaces so fast. His actual power is only at the fifth palace, but because of the soul armor, he was able to get this far. He can deceive us, but he can’t deceive the Grand Empyreans!”

“We were almost cheated by him. This Wang Lin is shameless!! What Ascendant Empyrean? He is simply a common Empyrean Exalt. Without the soul armor, I can kill him in one breath!”

“Hmph, I suspect he doesn’t even have the cultivation of an Empyrean Exalt, and the reason he can come here is due to the power of the soul armor! Look at his cultivation level, he is clearly only at the mid stage of Void Tribulant and not even a Golden Exalt. I thought he was deliberately hiding his cultivation level, now it seems like he is merely a tiny mid stage Void Tribulant cultivator!”

“No wonder only Grand Empyrean Dao Yi and Grand Empyrean Wu Feng came after he broke through the 13th palace. Grand Empyrean Jiu Di never appeared. Clearly, he has long seen through this person’s shamelessness and felt too much disdain to recruit him!”

“What kind of talent does this person have? He is clearly a cheater. He deceived us all. If I knew this, I wouldn’t have come to watch!”

The reason the Empyrean Exalts were so angry was mostly due to jealousy. Before, it had mostly dissipated due to the large gap, but now that they had learned that it was all fake, their jealousy broke out.

The Ascendant Empyreans all had strange expressions as they looked at Wang Lin.

“He’s actually using a soul armor… But even with the soul armor, to be able to pass the 13th palace means he has some skills…”

“Ah, I didn’t expect it to be like this!”

“This person’s reputation had just reached its peak after becoming the third strongest Ascendant Empyrean, but then the Celestial Emperor pointed out the soul armor. Could the Celestial Emperor have a grudge against him…”

“There is something wrong with this matter. If it was so simple, Grand Empyrean Dao Yi and Grand Empyrean Wu Feng wouldn’t have come to watch.”

The surrounding discussions buzzed and entered Wang Lin’s ears. He stood there silently, pondering, and his face was a little pale. He still had everyone’s attention, but compared to before, it was like night and day!

This was the purpose of the Celestial Emperor — he wouldn’t let Wang Lin gain fame so easily. That’s why he pointed out the critical point. Now he listened to the discussions of the surrounding cultivators and smiled.

“So you wore the soul armor to pass the 13th palace. I was wondering why you were rushing to leave after the 13th palace and did not attempt to pass the 14th palace. It seems the time on your soul armor ran out, so you could no longer fool everyone and had to leave immediately.

“Forget it, a cultivator like you is not qualified for me to take another look at. Scram!” Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao sneered at Wang Lin and waved his sleeve.

“What a disappointment!”

Facing all the discussions and contempt of all the surrounding cultivators, Grand Empyrean Dao Yi opened his mouth to say something, but he just let out a sigh in his heart. He knew that the cultivator named Wang Lin was notorious in the celestial clan.

“For the Celestial Emperor to speak like this at this moment means that he has some sort of relationship with this child. This person… He is not infamous, this person… It’s best not to recruit him. Although his child’s understanding is somewhat different, it is now all a waste.”Dao Yi sighed and didn’t speak. He had given up on Wang Lin.

Just at this moment, the voice of an angry woman came from the crowd. This voice contained her full cultivation and echoed across the Empyrean Trial.

“All of you, shut up! You don’t know anything. More than a decade ago, Wang Lin could battle against me without the soul armor. How could he be anything like what you say!?

“Even with the soul armor, so what? That just means he has obtained the recognition of the foreign souls to grant him power. It is also part of his own cultivation!
