Chapter 857: Chapter 857
As the voice sounded, a young swordsman with a sword on his back strode over.
He had just been a hundred meters away, but appeared before everyone within a few breaths.
Lin Chen's gaze sharpened, the method employed by the newcomer was the Lingbo Weibu technique.
Seeing the visitor, Fairy Mu Yun frowned slightly. Even though Wang Hao's cultivation was at the high rank of Yunhai Realm, he was still a junior after all.
Such a high-profile entrance was undoubtedly intended to awe the crowd.
"Fairy Mu Yun, my master, Master Ziyun, asked me to greet you on his behalf," Wang Hao said with a fist and palm salute upon seeing Fairy Mu Yun.
"So it's young master Wang Hao. I thought it was your master himself coming, judging by that grand entrance you made," Fairy Mu Yun's words sounded joking, but her expression clearly showed dissatisfaction.
Wang Hao's face turned somewhat awkward, "Fairy is jesting, my presence can't possibly compare to that of my master's."
While speaking, his gaze suddenly shifted towards Wang Zixuan, his eyes instantly filling with ardor.
"Junior sister Zixuan, it's been a long time since we met. How have you been? I've missed you very much," Wang Hao said with a smile.
Upon hearing Wang Hao's words, Lin Chen inwardly thought: "Is this guy an idiot? Doesn't he know that Zixuan is a taboo for Fairy Mu Yun, yet he dares to say he misses her greatly?"
Sure enough, Fairy Mu Yun's expression turned even more displeased as she coldly said, "Wang Hao, please mind your words and actions. You are aware of the rules of our Jade Maiden Peak; please don't make things difficult for me."
"You're right, Fairy. Wang Hao, you've gone too far, brazenly flirting with Miss Zixuan right in front of Fairy Mu Yun. Even I can't stand it any longer." As he spoke, another young man came from the foot of the mountain, it was Xiao Hu from Dragon Tiger Mountain.
While Xiao Hu jeered at Wang Hao, his gaze towards Wang Zixuan carried a hint of ambiguity.
Lin Chen noticed at a glance that he also had feelings for Wang Zixuan.
Wang Hao stared at Xiao Hu with icy eyes: "What's the meaning of these words?"
Xiao Hu laughed coldly: "No meaning, just telling you not to be too arrogant."
Watching the two facing off, Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle. Although these two newcomers meant more competitors for Lin Chen, that was definitely not a bad thing.
Because Lin Chen felt that most of the attention had been drawn away by these two.
This at least meant that Fairy Mu Yun would not focus all her attention on Lin Chen alone, which would be more conducive to Lin Chen's actions.
Indeed, Fairy Mu Yun's expression changed slightly upon hearing the two men's argument.
"Enough! I, Fairy Mu Yun, am making this clear today: whether it's Shushan or Dragon Tiger Mountain, Zixuan is our Jade Maiden Peak's holy maiden. Whoever dares to covet her is against me, and I will not be lenient," she said with an icy aura emanating from her.
Although neither Wang Hao nor Xiao Hu said anything further, Lin Chen could sense that neither of them took Fairy Mu Yun's words seriously.
The crowd dispersed, and Lin Chen, Zhang Yu, Liu Ming, Xu Tong, and Feng Yu found a pavilion to chat in.
Aside from Lin Chen, the others were from first-class families or sects in Huaxia, and they certainly knew more about the ancient martial world than Lin Chen did.
Through chatting with them, Lin Chen learned that the emergence of the Life Flower this time had attracted the attention of too many powers, with many masters dispatched from the Island Nation, E Nation, M Nation, and European believers.
Domestically, the ancient martial world of Huaxia, led by the Five Mountains and One Peak, were all eyeing the Life Flower covetously.
Checking the time, Zhang Yu smiled and said, "After sitting on a plane all day, I'm famished. Let's go eat."
Lin Chen nodded, and the five of them headed toward the cafeteria.
No sooner had they arrived at the cafeteria hall than Lin Chen's gaze turned chill.
The others also had odd expressions upon seeing where Wang Zixuan was seated in the cafeteria.
Originally, Wang Zixuan's seat was only for herself, which made it look particularly desolate. However, today there are two more people by Wang Zixuan's side, namely Wang Hao and Xiao Hu.
The two were gathered around Wang Zixuan, chatting and laughing.
Only Wang Zixuan had an extremely ugly expression on her face, with a look of displeasure in her eyes.
"Junior Sister Zixuan, this stir-fried bamboo shoot is really good, have a taste," Wang Hao said, picking up a slice of bamboo shoot with his chopsticks and placing it in Zixuan's bowl.
"What's so special about stir-fried bamboo shoots? This thousand-layer cake is the real delicacy. Junior Sister Zixuan, you should try this," Xiao Hu insisted, not to be outdone, and passed a slice of the cake to Wang Zixuan.
At this moment, Wang Zixuan's face was getting uglier by the second, and she stood up: "Brother Wang, Brother Xiao, I'm full, please go ahead without me."
"Junior Sister, you hardly ate anything. How could you be full?" Wang Hao said, reaching for Wang Zixuan's wrist.
But just at that moment, a figure stepped in front of Wang Hao: "Don't you think you two are going a bit too far?"
Wang Hao's gaze turned frosty: "Kid, who do you think you are to meddle in our business? Don't think you're something special just because you're some Sect Leader from Kunlun. Annoy me, and I'll still beat you up."
Lin Chen snorted coldly: "Oh? I'm really curious if Shushan has run out of people since they're focusing on cultivating a brainless thing like you."
With that, Lin Chen pulled Zixuan's hand gently and said, "There are two flies buzzing around here, making it impossible for anyone to eat. Let's go eat at our table instead."
Wang Zixuan obediently followed Lin Chen away, but Wang Hao's face became even uglier.
"Wait a minute!" Wang Hao stood up, fixing his cold gaze on Lin Chen.
"What's the matter?" Lin Chen replied indifferently.
"Kid, Wang Zixuan is my woman. I advise you to stay away from her," Wang Hao stated coldly.
Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh, encircling Wang Zixuan in his arms: "Your woman, have you ever held her hand? Have you kissed her? Sorry, but I've done all that."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the canteen erupted in an uproar, everyone staring at Lin Chen and Wang Zixuan with their mouths agape.
At that moment, although Wang Zixuan's face was flushed red, she did not object, indicating that Lin Chen's words were true.
"You're courting death, kid!" Wang Hao saw Lin Chen winning the upper hand and was furiously embarrassed.
A chilling momentum swept out, instantly enveloping Lin Chen.
An advanced Cloud Sea Realm's momentum overwhelmed the entire canteen, every person feeling an oppressive sensation enveloping them.
Especially around Lin Chen, that oppressive feeling bore down like a small mountain.
Seeing this scene, everyone's face drastically changed.
You should know that Lin Chen had only shown Yuan Dan Realm cultivation level, and under such pressure, he could be completely crushed.
Yet, contrary to everyone's expectation, Lin Chen looked completely unconcerned, with a nonchalant expression on his face.
The oppressive force was instantly blocked by the momentum emanating from Lin Chen, and to everyone's surprise, an equally powerful momentum burst forth from Lin Chen.
With the release of this momentum, everyone felt a shudder in their hearts.
Wang Hao, who had just been looking smug, now had a grave expression on his face. He felt an arrogant and overbearing momentum suddenly envelop him, to the point where he found it hard to breathe.
"What kind of momentum is this!" Beads of sweat sprung up on Wang Hao's forehead, and his face became even uglier.
