Chapter 846: A Huge Opportunity? _2
```
Without this spirit, they would have never reached their current realm.
"The True Martial Saint Lord hasn't appeared yet, or perhaps, the True Martial Saint hasn't come, or perhaps, the True Martial Saint Lord has gone to other places to look for us...
Indeed, our hiding place is extremely secretive, perhaps, the True Martial Saint Lord and Langya Saint Lord are searching separately for us, and it's the Langya Saint Lord who found us first and then made a move directly, meaning the True Martial Saint Lord will take a while longer to arrive.
If this is the case, before the True Martial Saint Lord arrives, there will be a sliver of opportunity for us..."
Some Saint Lords thought to themselves darkly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
However, before they could think too much, the attacks of the Langya Saint Lord once again struck several Saint Lords, immediately sending them flying backwards with serious injuries.
An upper-ranking Saint Lord can only handle six or seven lower-ranking Saint Lords, and the strength of the Langya Saint Lord is roughly the same.
Here there are nine lower-ranking Saint Lords, and all of them are not ordinary lower-ranking Saint Lords, by rights, the Langya Saint Lord should not be a match for these nine lower-ranking ones working together.
If these nine Saint Lords could stabilize their minds and join forces against the Langya Saint Lord, then it wouldn't be them trying to escape, but instead the Langya Saint Lord.
Regrettably, these nine Saint Lords are already terrified by the power displayed by the True Martial Saint Lord earlier, and now they also fear that the Langya Saint Lord is merely one of the Sanctuary's powerful beings coming after them, with the True Martial Saint Lord still posing a threat. They dare not test the Langya Saint Lord's true strength, nor do they have the time to test it.
The nine Saint Lords scattered and fled, which to the Langya Saint Lord is as easy as handling chickens and dogs made of clay.
"Gentlemen, an immense opportunity awaits you, why the haste to flee?" the Langya Saint Lord was the first to speak up, his gaze sweeping over the nine Saint Lords as he slowly said.
He had to speak out, for with the nine Saint Lords scattering and fleeing, his strength wasn't enough to suppress them all. If he didn't speak now, and some of the Saint Lords managed to escape, he would have difficulty carrying out his plan.
However, at this time, which of the Saint Lords would calm down to listen to him?
Those injured Saint Lords hadn't had the chance to run further, while those who had already run a certain distance continued to sprint ahead!
They feared that the Langya Saint Lord's words were merely a ploy to delay them, in fact waiting for the True Martial Saint Lord to arrive!
Many opportunities are fleeting, and having cultivated to their current realm, would they not understand this? They feared they were falling into the Langya Saint Lord's trap!
Once deceived, the price they'd pay would be their lives!
Compared to that, how could the unknown opportunity spoken of by the Langya Saint Lord attract them?
Even if the opportunity was great, could it be more important than their lives?
Life is precious and there is only one, opportunities can be forsaken but life cannot be lost!
"Hmph! Whoever runs again, whoever runs the fastest, don't blame me for taking action and exterminating you. Just now I was holding back, did you really think I wouldn't take your lives?" Seeing this scene, the Langya Saint Lord let out a cold snort and said.
"What?"
"This! This! This!"
"The Langya Saint Lord was holding back just now?"
This statement certainly had a significant impact, causing those Saint Lords who were running to tremble, panic arising within them.
For a moment, their attempts to escape somewhat faltered.
None of them dared to test the truth of the Langya Saint Lord's words.
Just now, they had seen that the Langya Saint Lord, coming in later but striking first, had already injured several of the faster-running Saint Lords.
Even though they had already run a considerable distance by now, if the Langya Saint Lord set his sights on them, they had no confidence they could get away.
"Perhaps, the Langya Saint Lord's arrival isn't to exterminate us..."
"Could there really be some opportunity?"
"It's not impossible, I recall the information I received just now; the True Martial Saint Lord is still at the connection point of this universe and the Netherworld, which is not close from here. Although a Saint's speed is very fast, it will take some time to get here, and it doesn't seem like he's coming to kill us..."
Human nature inclines one to think towards one's own benefit, and although many of these Saint Lords are not human, they are all intelligent beings with this same instinct. At this moment, sensing danger, some of the Saint Lords couldn't help but think to themselves.
Once such thoughts begin, they become unstoppable.
```
One by one, the escaping saints halted.
"We have seen the Langya Saint Lord. Is what the Langya Saint Lord said true?"
"Could it be that the Langya Saint Lord has come not to exterminate us?"
A line of saints suppressed their racing heartbeats as they greeted the Langya Saint Lord, their voices apprehensive.
"Who said that I came here to exterminate you?" Seeing the saints stop their escape, the Langya Saint Lord's expression returned to normal. He glanced at them and said indifferently.
"If not to exterminate us, why then did you attack us just now?" One saint choked out, unable to hold back.
"Uhm, previously we inadvertently offended a VIP from the Immortal Origin Holy Land..." Another saint also spoke up.
"I came to see you for a discussion. If you hadn't run away, why would I have raised a hand against you?" The Langya Saint Lord, looking at these people, said.
"Uh..." The Langya Saint Lord's words left the line of saints speechless.
So the Langya Saint Lord lashed out at them just for this reason?
Did this mean they had panicked and suffered in vain just now?
"As for you saying that you 'inadvertently' offended the VIP of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, what an 'accident' that was! Such a fine 'accident'!" At that moment, the Langya Saint Lord paused before letting out a cold laugh.
The earlier incident, though he had not intervened, how could he be uninformed?
At that time, the saints and ancestors of the Firestone, Aolai, and Eternal Life families had spoken so fervently to draw out those hidden saintly powers, hardly employing any stealth. With so many high-level cultivators there, the words had nearly spread throughout the entire cosmos's upper circles over such a lengthy period. Did they really think the Langya was deaf?
The Langya Saint Lord's sneer made the hearts of those saints leap fiercely, as their faces turned various shades of red or pale.
Some of the more wary saints even began to stir the power within their bodies once again, ready to flee at any moment.
Thankfully, the Langya Saint Lord didn't linger on this topic. After a pause, he continued, "The person you 'accidentally' offended is indeed a VIP from our Immortal Origin Holy Land, a very important person. Now, that Lin Yun has become the new Lord of Immortal Origin!"
"What?"
"Lord of Immortal Origin? Lin Yun has become the new Lord of Immortal Origin?"
"This is bad!"
Upon hearing the Langya Saint Lord's words, the nine saints' complexions changed drastically as they exclaimed aloud.
What status did Lin Yun hold, and he had become the Lord of Immortal Origin so quickly?
Was Lin Yun not originally from the old lands of the Immortal Origin Holy Land?
Was Lin Yun not at odds with the high echelons of the Immortal Origin Holy Land?
The Lord of Immortal Origin, in charge of Immortal Origin Holy Land, should be able to command the majority of its forces...
Thinking about it, with terrifying beings like the True Martial Saint Lord and the Langya Saint Lord as part of the Immortal Origin Holy Land's power... Back then, when they, the nine saints, had ganged up on Lin Yun, they had deeply offended him. If Lin Yun were to command the forces of the Immortal Origin Holy Land against them, would they have any chance of survival?
Contemplating this, they couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear.
"Now you know fear? Our Immortal Origin Holy Land is not so easily offended. You even thought to confront our Immortal Origin Holy Land; I don't know whether to call you fearlessly ignorant or outright foolish!" Seeing their reactions, the Langya Saint Lord let out another cold laugh.
"We beg the Langya Saint Lord to spare us!"
"We truly had no intention of going against Saint Lord Lin Yun!"
"Exactly, exactly. At that time, it was just a moment of recklessness, mainly instigated by the saint ancestors of the Firestone, Eternal Life, and Aolai families..."
A group of saints hurriedly paid profound respects to the Langya Saint Lord, their voices filled with panic.
As they spoke, some saints turned their heads to glance at the saints of the Firestone, Aolai, and Eternal Life families, their eyes brimming with hatred.
If not for the instigation of the saint ancestors of these three families, how could they have offended the Immortal Origin Holy Land? And how could they have ended up in such a plight?
