Chapter 279 - 265: The Elixir from Beyond the Heavens
A few elders were blinded by anger, completely forgetting the unfathomable power of Lin Lang.
"Oh?"
Lin Lang didn’t waste a single word, suddenly releasing his domain—
In an instant!
An invisible yet immense force radiated outwards from his center!
The few elders who were still blustering were suppressed by this force, collapsing to the ground with a thud!
As if weighed down by a boulder weighing thousands of pounds, they couldn’t move!
Seeing this, Palace Master Zhong panicked and quickly stepped forward:
"Young Master Lin, calm down! There are so many maids here, every one of them with top-notch appearance! We can give them all to you! Why insist on my daughter?"
As Palace Master Zhong spoke, he signaled with his eyes for the maids to step forward.
But Lin Lang only gave those maids a casual glance, with little interest—
Their appearances were indeed not low, about seven or eight points; but aside from that, they had no other features, especially since most of them were augmented!
He never lacked beautiful women!
Thus.
Lin Lang firmly said:
"No need, either the Saintess or nothing."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped, terrified in their hearts—
Nothing?
That meant the end of the lives of everyone in the Martial God Palace!
For a moment, the Palace Master didn’t know what to do!
Yield to him... but the Saintess is the successor to the Martial God Palace, wouldn’t that mean giving the palace to him?
But, not yielding... Lin Lang could just tear down the Martial God Palace now!
The Palace Master was caught in a dilemma.
Seeing his hesitation.
Lin Lang remained calm and said:
"I never force anyone! You either agree or you don’t, no need to hesitate."
...
Though he spoke politely.
Everyone present understood well—
Lin Lang was not a polite person!
Moreover!
At that moment, several elders were still being pressed to the ground by him, with the sense that Lin Lang only needed to exert a little more strength to crush them all!
The elders struggled desperately on the ground, in extreme embarrassment!
...
"Young Master Lin."
Finally!
The Saintess couldn’t bear it any longer!
She stepped forward and said to Lin Lang:
"I agree with you!"
Upon hearing this.
Lin Lang calmly said:
"Don’t force yourself, if you’re unwilling, no one will be happy."
The Saintess’s eyes flashed, speaking coldly:
"I am willing, can you release the elders now?"
"Oh! My apologies, I forgot."
Lin Lang came to his senses, releasing the power of law that had been pressing down on the elders.
The elders immediately felt a weight lifted, only to collapse powerlessly to the ground!
Faces full of post-survival fear!
And a deep fear of Lin Lang!
...
The Palace Master’s face was very stiff.
Angry and helpless in his heart—
Even he couldn’t casually suppress six elders like this!
This showed that Lin Lang’s power far exceeded his own!
He could only muster a forced smile:
"Young Master Lin, after such a long journey, why not rest in the guest room first?"
"Hmm, okay."
Lin Lang said no more and left with Lü Su Ran and Ding Xinrou.
"Young Master Lin, this way, please."
A few maids guided them towards the guest room.
...
After Lin Lang and others left.
The grand hall was left with only the people of the Martial God Palace.
The atmosphere was oppressive, like being shrouded in dark clouds.
The elders huddled together, faces full of worry discussing strategies:
"Damn! Our Martial God Palace has always kept to itself, how could we attract such a fearsome figure! What terrible luck!"
"It’s all that Wu Ji’s fault!"
"What do we do now?"
The Palace Master, listening to the elders’ complaints, was also feeling troubled, turning to the Saintess for her opinion:
"Lan’Er, what do you think?"
"If you don’t want to marry him, even if it means sacrificing all the resources the Martial God Palace has accumulated over the years, and my own life, I will confront him to the end!"
"I cannot let you be wronged!"
But the Saintess remained calm, speaking indifferently:
"This person, we cannot afford to offend."
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
At this moment, an elder hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Actually, marrying him isn’t impossible, after all, he is very powerful and can match our Saintess. But, with those two stunning beauties by his side, who knows what their relationship is, does our noble Saintess want to share a husband with others?"
The elder’s words plunged everyone back into thought, all worried about this issue, just hadn’t dared to voice it.
The Saintess listened, still expressionless, only spoke plainly:
"I’m afraid we have no choice now!"
...
On the other side.
Lin Lang, with Lü Su Ran and Ding Xinrou, arrived at the guest room.
As soon as they entered, Ding Xinrou, usually quiet, spoke first:
"Who would have thought that even the Saintess would fall for you at first sight."
Lü Su Ran said:
"Nonsense, they agreed because they feared Lin Lang would tear down the Martial God Palace! It’s pure coercion!"
Lin Lang confidently said:
"Who says that! I never coerce! It was her choice!"
Lü Su Ran said softly:
"Didn’t you just use the lives of the six elders to threaten them?"
Lin Lang looked innocent:
"That was because they insulted me, so I taught them a lesson! I wasn’t going to kill them..."
"Could it be they misunderstood?"
Lin Lang truly never forces anyone!
He felt no guilt!
...
But he didn’t bother to dwell on it.
Just then, the maids filed in, bringing dishes to the dining table:
