Young Master Lin could hardly believe his ears.
In the eyes of cultivators like them, a Great Luo Golden Immortal was akin to a god.
Yet, Wu Tian dared to scorn even a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Was this not going too far?
He was certain Wu Tian was merely bluffing, and thus said sternly, "You bastard, you're trying to trick me, aren't you? I advise you to save your breath!"
"If you truly have the ability, then come with me to the Tian Yuan Realm now."
"Once you enter, I guarantee you'll never be able to leave in this lifetime!"
Wu Tian said indifferently, "Open the gate."
Young Master Lin was so choked he couldn't speak.
He had expected Wu Tian to be intimidated by such a threat, but he never imagined Wu Tian would remain so calm.
This was no longer just disregarding him; this was completely disregarding the Tian Yuan Sect!
He said fiercely, "Fine. Since you say so, then I shall see what kind of ability you possess to dare speak such words!"
Seeing how the situation had escalated, the girl felt extremely scared.
She feared the commotion would grow larger and ultimately harm Wu Tian, so she quickly said, "Um... let's forget it."
"Sir, I am very grateful that you are standing up for me, but there's no need to go this far!"
"If anything happens to you because of this, then I..."
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "It's fine. Leave this to me."
"Since I've already stepped forward, the situation cannot be easily contained now."
"Don't worry, it's just the Tian Yuan Sect. They wouldn't dare do anything to me."
The girl was stunned.
In her heart, the Tian Yuan Sect held an extremely high status.
Being selected as a disciple by the Tian Yuan Sect was, to her, an immense stroke of luck.
But from Wu Tian's words, it seemed he did not take the Tian Yuan Sect seriously.
This was simply too...
For a moment, the girl didn't know what to say.
In her mind, Wu Tian had become an incomprehensible being.
In a daze, she even thought Wu Tian was a heavenly soldier sent by the heavens to save her...
Silence.
As Wu Tian spoke, the surroundings fell into a profound silence.
In a trance, Young Master Lin and his men thought they were dreaming, and in that dream, someone had spoken treasonous words.
What was the Tian Yuan Sect? It was the foremost of the Eight Divine Sects, the highest existence among the hidden spiritual sects.
Anyone who knew of the Tian Yuan Sect regarded it with awe, seeing it as the most magnificent, towering mountain in the world.
But this fellow before them, why was he so presumptuous?!
Young Master Lin trembled with rage. He said sinisterly, "Good, good!"
"If you like to act tough so much, then let me see how long you can keep it up!"
As his voice fell, Young Master Lin waved his hand casually. The silver ring on his index finger flashed with a faint light.
A subtle wave of energy spread behind him, and then, a void gate opened.
Wu Tian's guess was correct. The entrance to the Tian Yuan Realm was indeed on this island.
However, the entrance did not exist at any fixed point on the island. As long as one possessed the key, any location could serve as an entrance.
Young Master Lin said, "Come on, if you have the guts, go in first, lest you try to escape later!"
Wu Tian's attitude was nonchalant. After a few words to the girl, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew into the entrance.
A gust of wind swept past his eyes, and then Wu Tian appeared in the Tian Yuan Realm.
The Tian Yuan Realm was a vast landmass, encompassing virtually all terrains and landscapes.
In the center of the continent, a mountain that reached the heavens rose up. Climbing this mountain felt as if one could touch the throne of the gods.
At this moment, Wu Tian stood at the foot of the mountain. He looked back, and Young Master Lin and his group had also entered.
Upon arriving in the Tian Yuan Realm, Young Master Lin shed his previous fear and became considerably more arrogant.
He revealed a sinister smile and said, "Kid, your impulsiveness will come at a price."
"Do you know why I didn't reveal my identity? Because I knew that once you knew who I was, you shouldn't have come here."
"But it doesn't matter now. Listen carefully, I am Lin Xiao, the son of an elder of the Tian Yuan Sect!"
"My father is a Seven-Star Great Luo Golden Immortal!"
"You've offended me. Do you think you can leave the Tian Yuan Realm alive?"
As he spoke these words, Lin Xiao felt extremely elated, clearly having been holding back for too long.
He had expected Wu Tian to be intimidated after he revealed his identity, but to his surprise, Wu Tian merely said indifferently:
"Oh, really? I see."
Such a casual tone showed he had not taken Lin Xiao's words to heart at all.
Lin Xiao's expression immediately froze. He felt as if he had been toyed with by Wu Tian, his face flushing and paling.
A raging inferno surged to his head. He suddenly took out a jade slip and crushed it.
Instantly, a ripple-like wave spread outwards.
Wu Tian could tell this was likely a distress jade slip. Upon crushing it, someone would receive a plea for help.
With Wu Tian's strength, it wouldn't be difficult to intercept this wave, but there was no need.
He waited quietly. Soon, several whooshing sounds echoed through the air, and then several figures landed beside Lin Xiao.
"Son, what happened? Are you alright?" a man in his thirties asked Lin Xiao urgently.
Upon seeing the man, Lin Xiao immediately began to complain, "Dad, you've finally arrived! If you were any later, you wouldn't have seen me!"
The man comforted him, "Don't be scared, son. With Dad here, no one can bully you!"
"But this is the Tian Yuan Realm. Who could possibly do anything to you here?"
Lin Xiao pointed at Wu Tian and said, "Who else but him!"
"I don't know him at all, but he suddenly appeared at Tian Yuan Lake and attacked us without explanation."
"Even now that we're in the Tian Yuan Realm, he still wants to attack me. Tell me, does he not take our Tian Yuan Sect seriously?"
"There's such a thing?" Hearing Lin Xiao's account, the man was also surprised.
He then said sternly to Wu Tian, "Kid, what do you mean by this? Your audacity is simply too great!"
"What grudge do you have with my son? Why are you doing this to my son?"
Wu Tian said indifferently, "Your son is a beast. If you don't discipline him, I will. Is there a problem with that?"
"You are an elder of the Tian Yuan Sect, yet you allow your son to commit all sorts of evil. Aren't you ashamed?"
Wu Tian's words startled the man. Immediately, his heart filled with rage.
As an elder of the Tian Yuan Sect, Lin Changxiao possessed the strength of a Seven-Star Great Luo Golden Immortal. He was already powerful enough to walk unhindered in most places.
Yet now, an unknown young brat dared to speak to him disrespectfully in public. This was something he could not tolerate.
