Chapter 823: Invisible Intimidation (Part 2)
However, today's crowd is quite large, seemingly because the anticipated revenge from the Blood Red Alliance has not arrived immediately.
As a result, those cultivators who had left to seek refuge began to return in droves.
Additionally, some cultivators who had come to watch the spectacle had not yet left, which caused the traffic in Nanfeng City to be even greater than usual.
In this bustling atmosphere, the entire Nanfeng City was teeming with people, presenting a scene of bustling prosperity everywhere.
Especially in the central square of the city, the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic at this moment.
Amidst this fervent atmosphere, sudden sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and very soon, the silhouettes of more than a dozen cultivators quietly appeared on the high platform in the center of the square.
Immediately, many cultivators in the central square noticed the arrival of the newcomers.
At this moment, someone in the crowd pointed to the figures on the high platform and exclaimed in surprise.
"Look quickly!"
"Good heavens... who are these people to dare fly openly within Nanfeng City?"
"It's well-known in the Cultivation World that flying is prohibited within any city or market under the Lin Family's rule, and Nanfeng City is one of their important industries."
"Yet these people dare to fly so brazenly and recklessly here; one wonders what identity they hold?"
"..."
Those remarks prompted many cultivators who hadn't noticed this point to turn and look towards the high platform in the square.
In an instant, more and more cultivators in the large crowd began to pay attention to the change in the square.
After a moment of calm reflection, the cultivator who had first spoken seemed to have realized something.
In the next moment, this cultivator's expression changed, as if he had glimpsed something frightening.
Then, he realized aloud, "So, they are actually members of the Lin Family!"
"No wonder they dared to appear so openly and even fly boldly in forbidden zones."
At this moment, many cultivators present reacted upon hearing this explanation.
Under these circumstances, some well-informed cultivators recognized Lin Shilu on the high platform.
At this moment, a voice continued from the crowd.
"Fellow Taoists, the middle-aged cultivator at the forefront of the high platform is none other than Elder Lin Shilu of the Lin Family."
"And the one behind him should be Elder Lin Tianhu!"
As soon as the words fell, many cultivators present, whether in the Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment Realm, all cupped their hands in salute towards Lin Shilu and the others on the high platform.
At this moment, Lin Shilu on the high platform saw this scene and nodded while waving his hand.
"Young friends, I am indeed Lin Shilu from the Lin Family!"
"Today, several of us have come to Nanfeng City to fully take over the control from the hands of our friend from the Liang Family."
"For a long period ahead, this place will be guarded by members of the Lin Family."
"You young friends can rest assured and linger in this place as you wish."
"Regarding your safety, with us guarding this place, you can rest easy."
After speaking, Lin Shilu displayed a confident expression.
Soon after, Lin Shilu unleashed his powerful Golden Core Stage aura without restraint, quickly spreading to every public area of Nanfeng City.
At this moment, it wasn't just Lin Shilu; behind him, Lin Tianhu and Lin Tianqin also displayed confident expressions, releasing the full strength of their Golden Core Stage aura.
Their actions enveloped the entire Nanfeng City in this powerful Golden Core Stage aura.
As for why they did this, it was a deliberate move.
In their view, Jinfeng Nation had yet to stabilize completely, and they still faced a significant crisis from the Blood Red Alliance.
At this critical juncture, an external force like the Lin Family was set to enter and establish itself in this long-standing nation.
Despite the well-known overall strength of the Lin Family, they wanted to avoid any unnecessary trouble while taking over the territory and spirit land industry.
That's why the Lin Family could show some of their strength to deter the indecisive forces and numerous loose cultivators.
Thus, it was beneficial for the Lin Family to reveal their power at an appropriate time to aid their plans.
Especially at this juncture, flexing their muscles and showcasing their strength is indeed a good idea.
Moreover, Lin Shilu and Lin Tianhu's cultivation realms, and their battles were already known by many cultivators in Jinfeng Nation.
Under these circumstances, there's no need to hide their strength.
Precisely because of these reasons, the formerly low-key Lin Shilu and Lin Tianhu chose to reveal their true selves at this time.
Simultaneously, their deliberate display of cultivation realm was meant to provide shock power to deter those cultivators with ill intentions.
Under such plans, Lin Shilu and a few others appeared unhesitatingly in the public's view.
In fact, their actions indeed had some effect.
After all, the Lin Family sent several Golden Core Stage cultivators to Nanfeng City for muscle-flexing.
Moreover, among them, there was Lin Shilu, a Mid Stage Golden Core Strongman.
You must know, Lin Shilu is a high-ranking member of the Lin Family, who entered the Golden Core Stage early and achieved considerable feats during the chaos in Jinfeng Nation.
It can be said that Lin Shilu's individual strength is considerable, and he holds a high position within the Lin Family, which gives him strong authority.
Such cultivators showing up clearly indicates the importance the Lin Family places on this.
Besides, including Lin Tianhu, his personal strength is comparable to any Mid Stage Golden Core cultivator.
Moreover, Lin Tianhu had appeared in the battle with the Liang Family earlier and killed several cultivators of the same level consecutively.
Hence, their public appearance sure brings great shock to certain cultivators.
At this moment, after hearing Lin Shilu's words, many cultivators on the square began to flatter.
"Rest assured, Elder Lin. Since we came to Nanfeng City at this time, our intention was to unite with the Lin Family in advancing and retreating together."
As soon as the words fell, another cultivator in the crowd promptly echoed.
"This fellow Taoist is right!"
"As a righteous cultivator, I have long despised the tyrannical actions of the Blood Red Alliance."
"After hearing the Lin Family spearheaded the establishment of the Myriad Cultivators Alliance, I immediately decided to join it, intending to contribute my part in dismantling the evil Blood Red Alliance."
"Later, I will head to the Myriad Cultivators Alliance's stronghold in Nanfeng City to register; do any fellow Taoists wish to accompany me?"
This statement, coupled with the cultivator's aura, indeed sparked resonance among many cultivators.
In that instant, numerous cultivators present, perhaps emboldened, began to respond fervently.
"Senior Xu, your benevolence is evident, and I, your junior, will follow your lead without hesitation..."
"Count me in!"
"Hehe... Since you've all decided so resolutely, why would I, Xiao Ying, fear death and shrink back?"
"I'll join later..."
"Hmph... Old ghost Xiao often engages in unscrupulous acts, yet now showing such righteousness, I mustn't lag behind you..."
"..."
Amidst the uproar, the atmosphere in the entire square became increasingly lively with these passionate words.
At this time, due to the aura and pressure released by Lin Shilu and the others, many cultivators in Nanfeng City gathered towards the central square.
In no time, the already crowded central square became packed.
Especially after hearing Lin Shilu's words and many cultivators expressing their views, it caused quite a stir.
