Such thoughts once emerged, they could no longer restrain themselves!
“Blood Emperor, it’s not that I’m suspicious, but we respect you as the Blood Emperor. Could you do something to prove your identity? I believe many of the ghost practitioners present would like to know as well…” Soon, a Peak Saint King level ghost practitioner stood up, looked towards Lin Yun, and said.
As he spoke, he swept his gaze over the other ghost practitioners present before fixing his eyes on Lin Yun with a confident expression. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
Although he was a Peak Saint King realm ghost practitioner and not counted among the Nine Emperors, he believed that his strength was not inferior to some stronger ghost practitioners among the Nine Emperors. It was just that he had lacked the opportunity to show his strength, which was why he had not been ranked among the Nine Emperors.
He was very confident in his strength, especially his Talent Divine Power. He believed that even if the other party was the Blood Emperor, it was not certain that the other could do anything to him, so he felt he had the right to speak to the other on equal terms.
“Hmm?”
Hearing the words of this Peak Saint King level ghost practitioner, the ghost practitioner powerhouses with other thoughts instantly stirred.
“Toad King, you’ve got a lot of nerve to speak to the Blood Emperor in such a manner!” On the other side, Frubor glared at this Peak Saint King level ghost practitioner and shouted angrily.
He was trying to curry favor with Lin Yun. Previously, he had exposed Lin Yun’s identity to the Tri-Eyed Emperor and had also investigated Lin Yun’s information privately. He was afraid that Lin Yun would hold him accountable for it afterward, so he seized the opportunity created by this Peak Saint King level ghost practitioner to perform well.
As long as he performed well, he figured that with the magnanimity of the Blood Emperor, it should not be difficult to be forgiven.
“Frubor, I’m just speaking the truth. You and the Tri-Eyed Emperor, Lily Emperor claim he is the Blood Emperor. Fine, we all acknowledge him as the Blood Emperor and respectfully salute him! Shouldn’t he do something in return? I’m simply voicing everyone’s thoughts. You can ask the ghost practitioners here, isn’t that what they are all thinking?” The Peak Saint King level ghost practitioner, namely the Toad King that Frubor mentioned, glanced at Frubor disdainfully and said.
A medium-level Saint King ghost practitioner, who just happened to break through the twenty-seventh layer of the Netherworld, did not impress him.
“You—” Frubor’s face changed color as he spoke angrily.
However, before he could finish his words, an aura from Lin Yun cut him off.
“You’re not only unsure of my identity but also of my strength, aren’t you?” Then, Lin Yun looked deeply at the Peak Saint King level ghost practitioner and spoke slowly.
In the past few days, he had consecutively broken four layers of the new Layered Heavens in the Netherworld. In his previous life, he had broken eight layers of the new Layered Heavens in the Netherworld, and those eight layers could still have a significant impact on him in this life.
In total, he had broken twelve layers of the new Layered Heavens in the Netherworld.
His influence on the space of the Netherworld was something ordinary cultivators could hardly imagine.
Moreover, the space where these ghost practitioners were located was the thirty-seventh layer, which was exactly the new Layered Heaven that he had just shattered.
When this Peak Saint King level ghost practitioner spoke, his release of Mental Strength was weak, and his thoughts were well-controlled. But did he really think Lin Yun wouldn’t notice?
Earlier, when this Peak Saint King level ghost practitioner had saluted him, his timing had been quite late, clearly showing disrespect, but due to the situation, he had had to salute Lin Yun.
Now, this Peak Saint King level ghost practitioner wanted to use his words to stir up the desires of the other ghost practitioners to achieve his goal. Did he truly think that Lin Yun didn’t notice?
“You!” Hearing Lin Yun voice his innermost thoughts, the Toad King’s complexion shifted, and following a cold snort, he said, “Don’t you throw your filth on me. Back then, it was precisely because the Blood Emperor consecutively shattered eight layers of the new Layered Heavens that the Netherworld entered a grand era of cultivation, allowing the overall strength of the Netherworld to grow rapidly with many talents emerging. Many ghost practitioners in the Netherworld are very grateful to the Blood Emperor!
I just don’t want someone to impersonate the Blood Emperor, and I don’t want everyone to be deceived. If you’re not guilty, why not show us some information that can prove your identity?
I suppose the Tri-Eyed Emperor and Lily Emperor are so certain you are the Blood Emperor, there must be a definite reason that can firmly prove your identity, right?”
“Barefaced toad, stop causing trouble. The Blood Emperor must have been reincarnated to cultivate anew, and his various information would have changed from his previous life. Besides, we don’t know many details about the previous life of the Blood Emperor, so how can we prove it? Anyway, I believe he is the Blood Emperor!” This time, it was the Lily Emperor who spoke up, her beautiful eyes coldly looking at the Toad King as she spoke in a deep voice.
“Should be? Anyway? Ha, it turns out that all this is just your guess and feeling, Lily Emperor. I thought you had irrefutable evidence, hence you were so certain he is the Blood Emperor,” the Toad King said with a laugh.
“Tri-Eyed Emperor, surely you don’t think the same way? If so, you two are really leading us astray!” Then, the Toad King turned his head to look at the Tri-Eyed Emperor and laughed.
“Couldn’t be, right?”
“`
“Could it be…”
“I had thought…”
Upon hearing the words of the Toad King, the ghost practitioners were agitated, some of them casting skeptical glances towards Tri-Eyed Emperor, Lily Emperor, Frubor, and others, and even, some looked doubtfully at Lin Yun.
The Toad King’s words had successfully directed public opinion as well as the thoughts of the crowd.
“If…”
Witnessing this scene, Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud’s eyes flashed with light, they thought to themselves.
At this moment, their minds grew active once again.
It wasn’t that they weren’t afraid of the Blood Emperor or this powerful spirit child, but rather, the rewards that lay upon him were too great, such as the force of the Netherworld’s origin from breaking through the Netherworld’s fourth layer in New Layered Heaven, and also that Blood Sword. They highly suspected that the reason he broke through the New Layered Heaven of the Netherworld with such ease had a lot to do with that Blood Sword.
If they were to truly kill him, all these benefits would fall into their hands.
If he really was the Blood Emperor, the likelihood of them killing him was naturally minuscule.
But if he were not the Blood Emperor, but a genuine spirit, who was a spirit in a previous life, and still a spirit in this life, consistently a spirit through and through, then, with ghost practitioners and spirits naturally opposing each other, it would be quite normal for them to take up righteousness and spare no effort to slay him.
All this change depended on what happened next…
“Toad King, I dare to assert the Blood Emperor’s identity because I have ironclad proof. As for you, harboring ulterior motives, could it be you are seeking death?” Tri-Eyed Emperor released a powerful aura, glancing coldly at the Toad King and spoke.
He did not possess Lin Yun’s strong sensory abilities, but he was no fool. He could guess the other party’s intentions just from their tone and behavior. How audacious, to actually entertain the idea of targeting the Blood Emperor, and even daring to question him?
“Tri-Eyed Emperor, you should be careful with your words…” said the Toad King in a grave tone.
“Well, since you want me to show proof of identity, then let me show you…” However, at this moment, Lin Yun interrupted the Toad King’s words, chuckled lightly, and said.
For some reason, even though Lin Yun spoke with apparent ease, the Toad King’s face changed at his words, feeling an intense chill in his heart.
The feelings of powerhouses at their level often did not come out of nowhere.
“This is bad!”
The Toad King suddenly felt horrified.
He knew that the other party might make a move against him.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the Toad King swiftly darted towards the distance.
Still, it was a tad too late.
A terrifying power struck the Toad King’s body, causing it to explode immediately.
Just one move had burst the body of this Toad King, a ghost practitioner powerhouse at the Peak Saint King level. Such was Lin Yun’s power now.
“Hmm?” However, Lin Yun slightly raised an eyebrow.
He found that this Toad King was not just a simple Peak Saint King level ghost practitioner. He also possessed a formidable Talent Divine Power. Just as his power struck the Toad King, the latter had activated his Talent Divine Power.
