novelNew Visitors
| ← Ch.594 | Ch.596 → |
After all, everyone knew that Lin Jin was now a Rank 4 appraiser. So long as Lin Jin returned to Jade Dragon Kingdom and stayed there for a certain period of time, they might be able to reclaim their premium nation status.
But Lin Jin wasn't in a hurry to do that.
Now that it was time for the Visitation Hall's reopening, Lin Jin gave it some thought before putting away the Four Ocean Gourd and entering the hall.
He planned to ask the others if they had any questions tonight because otherwise, he wanted to leave early.
That way, he could continue to research the Four Ocean Gourd.
After Lin Jin put on his mask and entered through the metal door, he was stunned.
The Visitation Hall was currently in a state far from Lin Jin's expectations.
Several people were lying on the floor, and this included Ye Yuzhou and Black Crow. He Qing was tending to Madam Ghost Child who seemed to be injured as well. Old Tian, on the other hand, was lying still on the floor.
Feng Ziqian was standing behind Zhao Jingyan as they debated with two people. Zhao Jingyan seemed furious but there were also traces of fear and helplessness.
What was going on?
Under his mask, Lin Jin frowned.
There were two people, a man, and a woman, dressed in long robes. Both these individuals exuded domineering auras.
The man had a large lion standing beside him while the woman was alone without a companion.
They were different.
These two people were different from the others.
Although they looked no different from human beings, Lin Jin easily noticed something off about them when he took a closer look.
Both their appearances gave off a celestial vibe.
For a moment there, Lin Jin's heart thumped and he thought of a term...
"Unsullied body!"
Lin Jin had read it from a book of Dao. Having researched books about immortals and their era, he knew that once an individual obtains immortality, they would have to undergo a divine tribulation to gain an unsullied body.
It was also called an 'unsullied immortal body'.
This was what Lin Jin sensed from the two newcomers.
Judging by the current situation, it seemed like there was a confrontation between his visitors.
These thoughts had happened in a flash. In fact, He Qing was the first to notice Lin Jin entering the hall through the metal door and she instantly cried for help.
"Curator, we didn't do anything. These two newcomers just appeared and started attacking us." As if she had finally found her pillar of support, He Qing stated her grievances.
Aside from He Qing, the others, including Black Crow, Madam Ghost Child, Ye Yuzhou, Zhao Jingyan, and also Feng Ziqian breathed sighs of relief.
They were visibly anxious about the whole situation.
It was proven that despite working together, they still couldn't stand up to the two newcomers.
Moreover, based on Lin Jin's observation, it appeared that only one of the newcomers had taken action against the rest of the visitors.
That one person managed to subdue experts like Ye Yuzhou, Black Crow, and Madam Ghost Child. He also wasn't afraid of Zhao Jingyan at all. Besides immortals, Lin Jin couldn't think of any other beings in this world who were capable of such strength.
Yet, Lin Jin found it odd. Weren't immortals extinct?
The only immortal Lin Jin had met was the one at Daluo Temple. Still, even after hiding for a thousand years, he still perished in the hands of the immortal devouring beast.
That brief encounter had taught Lin Jin how formidable immortals were.
In his opinion, besides that insane immortal devouring beast, immortals were the strongest beings of this world. However, weren't immortals supposed to exist only in mythical tales? Why were they here in his Visitation Hall?
For a moment there, Lin Jin's mind was muddled.
Regardless, he had to clarify the situation first. Quite frankly, Lin Jin was ticked off.
Leaving aside his suspicion of the two newcomers being immortals, even if they were, they had to play by his rules here in the Visitation Hall.
In fact, when Curator first appeared, the immortals peered in his direction immediately. Lin Jin had read about immortals possessing a celestial light in their eyes. Looks like it was true after all.
This was Lin Jin's first time standing up to an immortal. To put it more accurately, two immortals. Even inside the Visitation Hall, Lin Jin considered them to be powerful foes and a huge hurdle to clear.
Hence, with every step he took, his aura multiplied at an exponential rate.
Of course, he was merely borrowing strength from the museum to enhance his aura.
Only with this could he subdue his targets.
The male and female immortals frowned as a response.
For them to be suddenly dragged into this bizarre place, it was only natural for them to assume this was an ambush. Hence, they had been on guard the instant they came here.
Upon seeing the other people here, one of the immortals had immediately gone on the offensive, defeating them all in an instant.
Not all of them were attacked though.
In his opinion, there was a woman who was at least stronger compared to the other 'mortals' and managed to fend off his attacks with her pet beast.
These mortals had told them that they were in a place called the 'Visitation Hall' and that the master of this place was 'Curator', an expert of their world.
Upon hearing this, the immortals sniggered and laughed dismissively.
In the eyes of immortals, mortals were merely ants. Although their sects had been shifted to Black Mountain in the extraterritorial zone for thousands of years now due to a great tragedy, and it had been about two thousand years since they set foot into the main continents. Millenniums were merely a slightly longer time for immortals.
They had never thought of mortals as anything significant at all.
According to them, they didn't care whether Curator would show up. However, if he did, they would lock him up and ask him about the evil spell he used to transport them here.
Finally, Curator was here.
The male immortal scoffed."What 'Curator'? Stop this petty game and come here right now!"
As he spoke, the male immortal made a grabbing gesture, as if trying to pull Curator towards him.
An invisible force enveloped Lin Jin's body. Truth be told, Lin Jin was shocked. Although he considered himself to be strong, he was still inferior when compared to actual immortals. However, it seemed that he could not defuse the tension peacefully now. The immortal went on the attack without leaving any room for discussion. If Lin Jin allowed himself to be pulled over, Curator would lose all his dignity.
While it seemed like Lin Jin wasn't moving, he was actually extracting all the strength provided by the museum to enhance his physical body. More importantly, the mask on his face right now was the genuine Curator's mask.
Lin Jin was also secretly using his strength, to stay on the safe side. If the immortal managed to pull him over, then he would have to accept his fate.
The instant the male immortal's mana came in contact with Lin Jin, Lin Jin felt as if he was being grabbed by an unseen hand. The force was so strong that it felt suffocating.
However, this feeling only lasted for a brief moment before a more pressuring force shattered the male immortal's mana.
