Even though the burly man had many doubts about what Lin Hao said, he did not dare to offend him. After all, a boy of thirteen or fourteen, who had just displayed such peculiar behavior, was quite strange. Moreover, how could a boy from a small place like Tiandu Kingdom possibly know about those overseas matters? His divine soul was far more advanced than his cultivation level, looking as if he was either a reincarnated soul or a powerful being who had taken over a body. Otherwise, he would not possess such a powerful divine soul at this level.
Seeing Lin Hao walking further away, about to disappear from sight, it seemed he really intended to leave the woman behind and did not pose a threat to them. Lin Hao was not foolish; he would not risk his life for a woman who had no significant connection to him. He only found her somewhat familiar, thinking there might be some connection with her ancestors. If not, he would have taken advantage of Ye Xin’s injury to kill the impolite woman himself, without needing the four men to act.
At this moment, Lin Hao headed towards Canglang County, not wanting to stay too close to the four men. It was better to escape while the burly man still had reservations about him. Truth could not be hidden forever, and falsehood could not become reality.
However, before long, the burly man actually came after him, standing in front of Lin Hao with a smile. "Your Excellency, we were all quite cautious earlier, as what you said was quite unbelievable... If you like this Ye Xin, we naturally dare not be disrespectful."
The burly man, suppressing his anger, smiled and gently pushed Ye Xin towards Lin Hao. Today, regardless of whether the boy’s words were true or false, he would consider it a loss. When their ancestral patriarch and elders revived, they could find the boy as long as he was still on the Yellow Wasteland Continent. Whether he was truly the Underworld Heavenly Lord would be revealed then.
As for Ye Xin, once the ancestral patriarch and elders revived and the Demon Heaven Hall submitted, they could easily unify the Yellow Wasteland Continent. Finding this woman would be no problem.
If the boy was not lying and he was indeed the Underworld Heavenly Lord, that would be good. If not, neither the boy nor Ye Xin would escape, and their divine souls would be refined into blood zombies!
Of course, the burly man did not dare to say such things out loud. If the boy was truly the Underworld Heavenly Lord, even if he could not deal with him now, he would suffer greatly in the future...
"Since you understand, I won’t hold it against you. Get lost," Lin Hao waved his hand impatiently.
"Hehe... Heavenly Lord, we will leave now..." The burly man bowed respectfully, but inside, he wanted to tear Lin Hao apart. He would remember today’s humiliation. If the boy was not the Underworld Heavenly Lord when the ancestral patriarch and elders revived...
After the burly man and the others left, Lin Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Today was extremely dangerous, and a slight mistake could have led to his doom. Fortunately, he had thought quickly, and the burly man had many reservations, allowing him to escape. Otherwise, even he would not have survived.
It was not that the burly man and the others were cowardly. Given Lin Hao’s age and origin from a small place, knowing so much about overseas matters was indeed unbelievable.
...
"Boss, are we really just going to let him go? We shouldn’t be fooled by a mere child... He’s just an ant from the Earth Gate..." One of the men looked at the burly man, seemingly unwilling.
"Hmph!" The burly man snorted. "That boy is not simple. His knowledge far exceeds his age, and he knows so many secrets of our Heavenly Slaughter Sect. There’s a more than forty percent chance he is the Underworld Heavenly Lord. It’s not worth risking our lives for that woman. Our priority is to welcome the return of the ancestral patriarch and elders."
The three men pondered. If they wanted to kill Ye Xin, it would be easy now, but risking their lives was not worth it. Even a forty percent chance was a high-risk gamble.
Soon, they disappeared into the Hundred Refinements Mountain Range.
The next morning, Lin Hao opened his eyes in the tree hollow.
"You’re awake." The woman stood in front of Lin Hao, her beautiful face soft, but her phoenix eyes were cold.
"Your injuries...!" Lin Hao was surprised. The woman’s injuries had been suppressed...
Seeing the silver needles on the ground, Lin Hao understood. The woman had some medical skills and had temporarily suppressed her injuries.
"You said... How should I thank you?" The woman’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and she grabbed Lin Hao.
At that moment, Ye Xin’s beautiful face was very close to Lin Hao’s, her eyes gleaming with a sinister light.
"I saved your life last night. Don’t repay kindness with ingratitude. I risked my life to save you. Are you going to harm your savior?" Lin Hao said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Ye Xin was furious. "What did you say!"
"Alright, alright... Not a savior, but a rescuer, that’s for sure," Lin Hao said with an awkward smile.
He was indeed afraid and helpless in front of this woman. He had seen her kill without hesitation, and even if he had saved her last night, she could still turn around and kill him. It wouldn’t be surprising.
"Haha, Underworld Heavenly Lord, you really put on a good act. I never thought I, Ye Xin, would meet the true form of the Heavenly Lord in a small city," Ye Xin said, dragging Lin Hao out of the tree hollow.
"What Underworld Heavenly Lord? If I hadn’t said that last night, neither of us would have survived..." Lin Hao felt a headache. He had just sent away the demons and now faced a demoness.
"Enough talk. We’ll discuss this at the Holy Land," Ye Xin said, not giving Lin Hao a chance to explain.
The Holy Land? Across the Yellow Wasteland Continent...!
Lin Hao shook his head. If Ye Xin really took him to the Holy Land, he would be better off dead. He would surely not return alive. Moreover, with his current cultivation, he couldn’t even cross the sea, let alone survive the gale winds.
"Ye Xin, we have no grudges. When your injuries flared up, I didn’t take advantage of you. I risked my life to save you from the Heavenly Slaughter Sect. Is this how you treat me?" Lin Hao was furious. What kind of woman was this? Beautiful but heartless and cruel.
Lin Hao swore that if he had another chance, he would not let Ye Xin off.
But thinking about it, it was his own fault. If he had known, he wouldn’t have helped Ye Xin in the first place. This was his own doing for meddling.
"Up ahead is Canglang County. I’m hungry. Go pick some fruit for me, and don’t think of escaping," Ye Xin said coldly, ignoring Lin Hao and throwing him aside.
Hearing this, Lin Hao’s heart stirred. Ye Xin had specifically told him about Canglang County and had not marked him with her aura, seemingly giving him a chance to escape.
"Ha, you still have a conscience," Lin Hao smiled, flashed away, and disappeared.
"This boy..." Seeing Lin Hao’s disappearing back, Ye Xin was momentarily lost in thought.
