Chapter 716: Wealth and Arrogance
"You--"
Chu Lee's face showed an undulating expression.
Lin Yun's control of the Bloodthirsty Sword was just one part of the equation. There was another threat implied in Lin Yun's words, which he couldn't help but take seriously.
That was the Sacred Mother.
The Sacred Mother had once given Lin Yun two divine beings, which had now merged into the Bloodthirsty Sword, unable to separate from it.
As such, he couldn't reclaim the Bloodthirsty Sword even if he wanted to.
"Fine, since you, Lin Yun, don't value my strength, I'll just take this issue back to them." Finally, Chu Lee slowly nodded in agreement.
Whoosh--
The next moment, Chu Lee turned to leave.
"Friend Ao and Lord of All, I'm leaving first. The things I promised you will be carried out after the Heavenly Principle Fruit contest ends." As he turned around, Chu Lee glanced at the Black Dragon King and the Lord of All, leaving them with his words.
"Thank you, Master Lee."
The Black Dragon King and the Lord of All promptly expressed their gratitude.
"Master Lin, we apologize for any offenses today. We will make amends another day. We have affairs to attend to and must take our leave now." Afterward, the Black Dragon King and the Lord of All turned to Lin Yun and said politely.
Although Chu Lee had claimed that Lin Yun was not part of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, they didn't dare to treat him as an outsider. As cosmic super warriors, they speculated about the relationship between the Earth and the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
Not to mention, with the obviously high-ranking Sacred Mother behind Lin Yun, they couldn't afford to underestimate him.
"You're making a big deal out of it. A misunderstanding can be resolved; there's no need for any compensation," Lin Yun shook his head and said.
He didn't harbor deep animosity towards these two powerful figures.
In the beginning, both had refrained from attacking him and had intentionally revealed his identity in public. When Chu Lee invited them, they didn't respond with immediate violence, which was quite considerate.
Later, when Chu Lee offered generous incentives that stirred their hearts, they acted, which was also understandable.
Most importantly, the two did not cause him any harm.
Now, both showed intent to smooth over the relationship. "Patch things up, rather than end on a sour note," he thought. There was no need for him to engage in a feud with them.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the Black Dragon King and the Lord of All seemed enlightened.
Previously, because of Lin Yun's attitude, they were convinced that they had deeply offended him.
At this moment, Lin Yun's attitude gave them hope.
They wanted to present him with gifts immediately to improve their relationships but decided against it after considering their options.
At present, Chu Lee had just left, and many Super Warriors were still in the vicinity, observing the situation. The crowd was easily swayed, and news could easily spread.
Just in case their goodwill towards Lin Yun was discovered by Chu Lee, and he stopped guiding them to the Immortal Origin Holy Land, they would suffer a significant loss.
So, they nodded at Lin Yun without saying much more and quickly left via teleportation.
"Let's go!"
"Go!"
Seeing this, the surrounding Super Warriors murmured amongst themselves.
Whoosh--whoosh--
Everyone quickly cleared out.
They didn't approach Lin Yun and his group for greetings. At this time, Modan and other super warriors remained around Lin Yun and his group. And Lin Yun might have connections with the influential figures of the Immortal Origin Holy Land. They didn't think it was appropriate their involvement in this conflict, so they didn't push their luck.
The primary issue was that, before Modan arrived, the majority of them had intended to target Lin Yun and his group.
They were unsure whether Lin Yun and his group had detected their intentions or not.
It was better to leave immediately to avoid attracting Lin Yun's attention.
The Bloodthirsty Sword in Lin Yun's hand was not vegetarian; it thrived on bloodshed.
"Brother Can, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to have reached the Super Peak. Congratulations." After everyone had left, Modan looked at Little Gold's mother, saying with a smile.
From his tone, it was apparent that Modan and Little Gold's mother had known each other for a long time.
"Roar--"
Little Gold's mother glanced indifferently at Modan and growled in response.
She didn't use human language, but Beast language. However, warriors at their level could understand any language.
Modan laughed off her cold reply, understanding that man and beast had their differences, and many Super Star Beasts were somewhat reserved.
"I've heard so much about you from the Sacred Mother. Now that I see you, you indeed live up to your reputation," Modan then turned to Lin Yun, smiling.
"You flatter me, Senior Modan," Lin Yun said politely.
"I thought we agreed to treat each other as equals. Why are you still calling me Senior?" Modan shook his head.
"Um..." Lin Yun hesitated.
Although the mightiest in this universe respected one another, his power was vastly inferior to Modan's. Even the Black Dragon King and the Lord of All were extremely courteous towards Modan. As he was significantly weaker than those two, how could he treat Modan as an equal?
"Are you belittling yourself, or are you belittling me?" Modan looked at Lin Yun, smiled slightly, and asked.
"Alright then, Brother Modan." Lin Yun gave a wry smile and responded.
"The Sacred Mother would be delighted to know of your strength now," Modan said, nodding with a smile.
"How has the Sacred Mother been?" Lin Yun hurriedly asked.
Judging from Modan's tone, he seemed to be quite familiar with the Sacred Mother.
"The Sacred Mother is doing great. However, the Immortal Origin Holy Land is not the same as it was thousands of years ago. Now that you have your current strength, there's no rush for you to return. You could wait until your strength increases before going back." Modan pondered before responding.
