Chapter 819: Chapter 824: Mechanism Unlocked (Part 1)
Elder Zhuâs face immediately turned grim when he heard Zhao Ritianâs words.
Clearly, this little brat was talking about him, was he really tired of living?
Did he really think that just because he was a core member of the Zhao family, Elder Zhu wouldnât dare to strike him down?
One must know that the Innate cannot be humiliated. Even if he were to kill Zhao Ritian, no one in the Zhao family would dare to say a word against him.
But right now, itâs not convenient for him to make a move.
After all, if he does take action, Old Zhao will definitely try to stop him, and that will give the two robed elders nearby an opportunity.
By then, none of them might survive here!
At this moment, Old Zhao coughed twice, gave his grandson a hard glare, and warned in a low voice, "If you keep spouting nonsense, donât blame your Third Grandfather for being unkind!"
Zhao Ritian noticed that his Third Grandfather wasnât joking, so he had no choice but to shut up.
In fact, after he spoke, he also felt Elder Zhuâs killing intent, and he immediately regretted his loose tongue, feeling a burst of fear.
Meanwhile, after Lin Xi dealt with Howard, he didnât leave immediately. Instead, he glanced at Howardâs absolutely lifeless body and said coldly, "Of all the people you could have targeted, you chose to mess with my woman!"
"If you donât court death, you wonât die, will you?"
These two sentences werenât said with much harshness, but almost everyone there memorized them word for word.
Saying this, he swept his gaze across nearly everyone present and as he prepared to leave, he added, "If you target my woman or my people, Iâm making it clear here now!"
"No matter who it is or what background they have, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, they will not escape death!"
With that, he turned and walked back.
Zhou Yan gave Lin Xi a fierce look and cursed under her breath that only she could hear, "Who the hell is your woman? Shameless bastard!!!"
But looking at Lin Xi walking back as if nothing had happened, with a faint smile on his face directed at her, her mind momentarily drifted, "This bastard is quite handsome!"
Not far away, Shangguan Nishang also raised an eyebrow, "Little rascal, seems youâve won another heart!"
William, who had returned to Avril Jolieâs side, noticed her mixed expression of delight and complexity, and couldnât help but frown and ask, "Avril, whatâs wrong?"
Avril Jolie seemed to be awakened by the question, shook her head to indicate nothing was wrong, and said, "It seems his strength isnât as simple as we thought!"
William nodded in agreement to this statement.
Lin Xiâs performance just now far exceeded his own.
So this time, involving themselves seems not to be very dangerous after all.
On the other side, Su Xiong smiled but said nothing. However, when he noticed the expressions of Wang Wudao and the Ice and Fire Lady beside him, they didnât look very good!
This was quite normal, after all, the four forces shared Chuzhou City.
If one family became significantly stronger than the other three, it would mean these three families would have a hard time surviving in the future, with the possibility of being swallowed up.
Zhao Ritian was smiling cheerfully, not just because Lin Xi successfully took down those three, but also because Lin Xiâs display of extraordinary strength shattered many peopleâs perceptions of him.
Itâs known that some in the family, as well as most of the Zhu family, thought his invitation to Lin Xi was unnecessary, and even Elder Zhu had mocked Lin Xi to his face.
Now, they had nothing to say, right?
He also thought Lin Xiâs actions just now and his current demeanor were quite impressive!!!
If he were a woman, he would definitely fall in love with Lin Xi.
If Lin Xi knew his thoughts, he would probably first agree to come here and even claim to not know him; wouldnât that be too âdisgustingâ!
The two robed elders exchanged a glance, having already recovered from their initial shock.
"As long as he hasnât reached the Innate, thereâs nothing much to worry about, even if he is the strongest among the Soldier Kings here, so what?"
To them, Innate Powerhouses could easily take down Lin Xi as long as he hadnât broken through to the Innate Realm.
After all, Innate and Soldier King are entirely different concepts.
For instance, a Peak Soldier King finds it hard to defeat a Top-tier Soldier King or even a Mid-tier Soldier King, but an Innate Powerhouse can easily take down a Peak Soldier King without much effort.
Because the differences in life level, strength, speed, and understanding of techniques between the two are tremendous.
Others unfamiliar with Lin Xi or those with a slight understanding were all showing shock and fear, with their attitudes towards Lin Xi undergoing a substantial shift. If they encounter him in the ancient mine later, they certainly wouldnât want to fight him.
After all, most of them werenât even as strong as Howardâs side.
At this moment, the two novice Soldier Kings next to the robed elders suddenly stopped what they were doing and jumped up in elation,
"Weâve succeeded, weâve succeeded, weâve finally succeeded!!!"
Instantly, everyoneâs attention was drawn over, and they saw that the intricate and complex mechanism at the entrance had been dismantled into just a wall.
It seemed that at this point, as long as someone gave a light push, the doors to the ancient mine would be open.
So at this moment, everyoneâs eyes were burning with excitement.
Itâs known that the information they had indicated that there was something inside that could help people in the Soldier King Realm break through bottlenecks faster, and even entering the Innate wasnât difficult!
Innate, thatâs a legendary level.
In their lifetime, apart from today, to be honest, more than ninety-nine percent of them had never seen the Innate.
Some even thought the Innate Realm didnât exist at all.
But ever since they saw the four elders before them, they believe that Innates do exist in this world, that legends are true.
So now, they are even several times more excited and eager compared to when they first received the news.
Being able to break through to Innate, no matter what price they had to pay, it would be worth it!
After all, thereâs a rumor that Innate Powerhouses can fight a bunch of Soldier Kings effortlessly, and more crucially, Innates have a lifespan of two hundred years.
Thatâs definitely the most attractive part, isnât it!
If it werenât for the fact that only a very few people knew about this ancient mine, and that the knowledge came with an absolute secrecy requirement,
otherwise, it wouldnât just be a mere hundred people present here today!
"Gentlemen, the door just needs to be pushed open, then we can go inside!" one of the novice Soldier Kings excitedly said to the robed elder.
The leader among the robed elders nodded and was about to push the door open when the robed elder beside him suddenly stopped him,
"Senior Brother, we spent three to four days cracking this mechanism. Logically, the things inside this ancient mine are ours!"
As he said this, he glanced at everyone else, including Zhao Ritianâs side, sneered a bit, and continued,
"And they think they can just waltz in with us so easily, are they assuming we are too easy to bully? Too easy to take advantage of?"
"So, I think thereâs no rush!"
As soon as he said this, he instantly received unanimous agreement from everyone on his side. After all, they had been here day and night for several days, especially the two novice Soldier Kings, while these other people hadnât done anything and wanted a slice of the pie, isnât that too fanciful?
The leading robed elder nodded, looked toward Elder Zhao and Elder Zhu, and asked with an expressionless face, "What do the two of you think?"
