"I killed him, so what?"
Lin Mo completed his actions and looked straight into the eyes of the old crone.
The old crone slowly released her grip on the walking stick, the intensity in her eyes faded away, and she sighed, "What a resolute killer, our people from Heavenly Sect haven't emerged for a long time. I did not expect that in the Huaxia Martial Arts World there would be someone like you. However, Luo Yin was at fault first, and we of the Qingxuan Sect will remember today's affair."
With that said, the cane in the old woman's hand spewed out a stream of green mist, sweeping up the body of the man in green clothes, turning into a green haze, and disappearing into the sky along with the old crone.
However, after the old crone left, the expressions of the crowd did not relax in the slightest. Today was the first time they witnessed the strength of someone from Heavenly Sect. If a mere disciple from a lesser sect could possess such strength, should all the people from Heavenly Sect come out, who in the Huaxia Martial Arts World could withstand them? Even with Lin Mo's formidable power, he probably could not face the entire Heavenly Sect alone.
Zhuang Daoxin, Zhang Gulu, Chen Qinggong, and others all showed worry on their faces. With Heavenly Sect appearing now, the Martial Arts World would unlikely know peace!
"I admit defeat," Qi Yue suddenly stood out, staring straight at Lin Mo and spoke.
Indeed, although Qi Yue had defeated Zhang Yesheng, Wu Yihan, and Zhuang Ziruo, she had been suppressed by a disciple from the Qingxuan Sect, and when Lin Mo came forward and killed the opponent, it was clear at a glance who was stronger.
"Since Qi Yue has admitted defeat, then Lin Tanyu is the first place winner of this Martial Arts Tournament," declared Zhuang Daoxin standing up.
Zhuang Ziruo frowned involuntarily. Holding the title of first place in the Martial Arts Tournament was not an easy task; it represented the entire Huaxia Martial Arts World as well as the Inner Sect World. If the people from Heavenly Sect sought revenge, the first person they would look for would be Lin Mo.
Lin Mo did not care. He now sought to enter the Innate realm, and the mundane resources were no longer sufficient. He needed to consume more resources and materials to support his cultivation. Moreover, Xia Mengdie was currently in the Miao Xue Divine Palace and was related to Heavenly Sect in some way; he was interested in learning about Heavenly Sect.
It was precisely for this reason that he let the old woman go just now; otherwise, with Lin Mo's methods, he could have killed her on the spot.
But as the Martial Arts Tournament at Kunlun Mountain came to an end, the entire Huaxia Martial Arts World was boiling over once again.
Lin Tanyu's name rose to the top of the Qingyun List as the Strongest King again, and everyone began discussing Lin Tanyu's deeds.
Kunlun Mountain—Martial Arts Tournament, Lin Tanyu slays a member of Heavenly Sect and ascends once more as the Strongest King!
"Lin Tanyu has been silent for six months, appearing again, he's going to stir up another storm in the Martial Arts World."
"He's too strong. I was there in person. Originally Qi Yue was winning, but suddenly a person from Heavenly Sect came and suppressed her. Then Lin Tanyu appeared and killed the opponent."
"I was also there. Lin Tanyu's speed broke the sound barrier, he must have surpassed the Peak Martial God and reached the Emperor Realm, or even the legendary God Realm."
"God Realm? Impossible, the Huaxia Martial Arts World doesn't even know if there is such a realm; he's so young, if he's truly reached the God Realm, then it's probably some old demon who's reincarnated with such power."
"Lin Tanyu, I want to marry you."
"But Lin Tanyu killing someone from Heavenly Sect, he's really stirred up big trouble this time," posted an old user.
Only a few Super Families and major sects knew about Heavenly Sect, while most other martial artists had hardly heard anything about it.
"What exactly is Heavenly Sect?" someone asked. "Heavenly Sect is rumored to be a cultivator sect, an ancient cultivator sect of Huaxia. However, they disappeared from people's sight a long time ago. They have emerged this time, and we don't know their purpose. Moreover, just an ordinary disciple of Heavenly Sect was able to put Qi Yue, a top genius, in her place. If the others come out, who knows what impact it will have on our Martial Arts World."
Upon the appearance of this post, many martial artists fell silent.
A mere disciple from Heavenly Sect could suppress a top genius like Qi Yue, so if those from the sect all emerged, where would that leave the Martial Arts World of Huaxia? And now Lin Mo, having slain a disciple from Heavenly Sect, had brought disaster upon the Martial Arts World.
As formidable as Lin Mo was, how could one person withstand the retaliation of the entire Heavenly Sect?
"Gosh, what glory has Lin Tanyu sought to bring upon us, drawing in such a powerful enemy," someone anonymously spoke.
Like a stone stirring up a thousand ripples, many who had once looked unfavorably upon Lin Mo quickly came out to attack him. If Lin Mo hadn't killed the disciple from Heavenly Sect, perhaps the Martial Arts World wouldn't have provoked such a formidable foe.
"You didn't see what happened at the time. That person from Heavenly Sect was so arrogant, calling us unevolved monkeys. Lin Tanyu retaliated for us; now you blame him? Have you no shame?"
"Especially when Lin Tanyu said, 'I am here to protect the Martial Arts World.' It made my blood boil. Even if those from Heavenly Sect want revenge, I'm not afraid. At worst, I die."
For a time, the Martial Arts Forum was once again in an uproar, clearly divided into two distinct camps: those supporting Lin Tanyu and those opposing him.
"Don't worry, everyone. If people from Heavenly Sect want revenge, they'll have to come after me first."
Atop a mountain peak, Lin Mo seemed to see the concerns of Zhuang Daoxin and others and spoke with a smile.
And, according to Lin Mo's speculation, if these people were truly descendants of cultivators, dedicated their lives to pursuing immortality, following the grand path, and now aimed to find a way off Earth, especially with resources being scarce and leaving
Earth seeming as difficult as ascending to heaven, their emergence probably meant that the Spiritual Energy in Futian Cave was starting to deplete, and they were searching for more resources.
Therefore, people from Heavenly Sect might not necessarily come directly for trouble with the Martial Arts World.
"But Mr. Lin emerged for our Martial Arts World…" Zhang Gulu said with a furrowed brow.
Lin Mo shook his head with a smile, "Even if you wanted to help, if truly formidable people from Heavenly Sect came, who among you could stand against them?"
The question silenced everyone.
Indeed, if just a minor disciple could so brazenly challenge the entire Martial Arts World, if those powerful within Heavenly Sect emerged, their Martial Arts World would likely have no one who could stand against them.
"However, don't worry everyone. I think those big shots from Heavenly Sect will not easily leave their sect. After all, Heavenly Sect is not the only sect out there, and there are conflicts of interest between them. They won't leave their sects so lightly."
Lin Mo spoke calmly.
The crowd nodded, seemingly feeling there was some sense to Lin Mo's words.
