Chapter 2021. Suddenly Looking Back! (1/2)

Wang Lin was used to being gazes focused on him at these kinds of events. His expression remained the same as his white clothes fluttered and he calmly walked forward.

“This person… Who is he?”

“He came alone and dared to come at the 9th drum beat. Could it be that he has some special identity?”

“This person is very unfamiliar…”

Soft discussions began among the crowds as Wang Lin walked past the thousands of people, 108 Jins, 72 Saints, 36 Zhangs…

As he walked forward, more and more gaze gathered on him, and the buzz became louder and louder.

“Where is he going to sit?!”

“He dares to head to the front. Two of the four seats in the front are prepared for the Grand Empyrean and the imperial teacher. The last two seats are reserved for the two ancestors of the Ancient Dao that are still alive!!”

Among the last four remaining seats, one was in front with three behind it. As Wang Lin walked toward the 18 Kings, seven of them actually stood up and clasped their hands at Wang Lin.

With this, the 100,000 people went into an uproar and the discussions became even more intense than when the 18 Kings and nine Immortal Generals entered.

Wang Lin paused for a moment and smiled at the seven people that had bowed toward him. Then he walked toward the nine Immortal Generals enveloped in black auras.

Out of the nine, eight remained silent, but the person who was equal to an Ascendant Empyrean who passed the 14th palace let out a cold snort and his eyes lit up. He suddenly stood up as if he wanted to prevent Wang Lin from flying over him.

But just as he was about to stand up, Wang Lin’s cold gaze looked over and there was a flash of red killing intent in his eyes. A shocking pressure spread out from Wang Lin’s body and then suddenly dissipated.

Although it was only for an instant, it caused the person who was going to stand up to tremble. He was in shock and could not stand up. His eyes became filled with fear and he sat back down.

At this moment, his mind was rumbling and cold sweat had covered his body. Wang Lin’s gaze had caused him to feel as if he was trapped in slaughter and was killed by Wang Lin hundreds of thousands of times. It was as if he had entered an illusion where he was constantly killed.

He had never experienced this kind of feeling before. That gaze seemed to have rushed into his body, crushed his internal organs, scraped his bones and flesh, and then devoured his soul. His heartbeat rapidly accelerated as if it was going to collapse.

The moment he sat back down again, Wang Lin landed on the ground and arrived before the forward-most table in this fan-shaped seating arrangement. He looked at the hundreds of flying platforms and the hundreds of thousands of people at the square before he waved his sleeve and calmly sat down.

The moment he sat down, a huge uproar was set off across the square.

“Who is he? He sat in the position of the Ancient Dao’s Grand Empyrean. This… This…”

“The pressure that person released was extremely powerful and actually made me feel like my heart stopped. His ancient power is unfathomable and he is definitely not a normal person!”

“I heard that the Ancient Dao’s Grand Empyrean announced that he has accepted a disciple. Could he be Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo’s disciple!? But he is so young…”

“It indeed is him!”

“White-Haired Ascendant Empyrean!! I didn’t expect this person to really be Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo’s disciple!!”

“What? He is the White-Haired Ascendant Empyrean? Isn’t the White-Haired Ascendant Empyrean a member of the celestial clan? It is said that he is number one below Grand Empyreans!! There is even rumor he is the 10th sun of the Immortal Astral Continent!!”

Those that recognized Wang Lin were of the royal family, like Prince Ji Du. The members of the Ancient Dao were more in the know because they knew about Wang Lin; however, the members of the other clans had extremely complicated expressions as they looked at Wang Lin. There were hidden hints of fear in their eyes.

In truth, they weren’t completely unaware of Wang Lin. Xuan Luo had brought Wang Lin to the Ancient Ji and Ancient Shi. Aside from coming to send their congratulatory gifts, they had also come to observe the power of the Ancient Dao.

Among the gazes that looked at Wang Lin, one of them was filled with excitement. This gaze came from one of the floating platforms where Prince Ji Du was.

Prince Ji Du had watched Wang Lin appear until he caught the attention of everyone here. He looked at how calm Wang Lin was and let out a deep breath.

“Godfather’s name is known by the Ancient clan! Godfather’s name is enough to shock everyone. If Godfather can help me…”Prince Ji Du clenched his fist.

Wang Lin ignored all the gazes that were gathered on him. He sat there and closed his eyes, but at this moment, his heart was very unsettled. It was as if an inner demon had taken over, and he felt himself losing control.

This feeling appeared after Wang Lin started making his way to the palace and came from the unease he had felt before. It suddenly erupted when he sat down, which shocked him.

Although it could be suppressed, it affected Wang Lin’s mood. Otherwise, when the Immortal General stood up, Wang Lin wouldn’t have revealed a hint of his cultivation there.
