C836 Delaying
Although Lin Cheng hated this Wu Juyuan to the extreme, he couldn't attack him now. The reason why he was so tough was to intimidate these people and let them know... He, Lin Cheng, wasn't as weak as these people imagined, especially after killing Qin Jianghe. His deterrence towards these people had reached its peak.
However, after that, Lin Cheng had realized that if he continued to attack, it might cause those people to rebound.
One should know that no matter how weak these people were, each of them had experienced countless of battles. Along the way, they had been wandering on the edge of life and death countless times, which was why they had become mighty figures. The reason why they were weak now was because they had to conceal their auras. They didn't want to attract the wrath of the heavens, but in fact, they might really have the courage to fight.
Of course, there was another important point, and that was... The reason why these sects were weak was because the wrath of heaven might turn them into ashes. But at the same time, the one who truly deterred them was still that great devil.
When facing the other cultivator, the experts of these sects were high and mighty. A single sentence could determine a person's life and death. However, when facing the Great Devil... They seemed to have changed into another person, becoming incomparably weak. Coward, cowardly, and shameless.
That was because ever since the Ancient Times, the Great Devil had already had an intrinsic image in the hearts of these people. When mentioning the Great Devil, their first reaction was that it was powerful, terrifying, cold, bloodthirsty and undefeatable.
Not to mention, they had to face a Great Devil that was strong enough to fight against a Supreme Being.
In fact, these mighty figures had all grown up under the shadow of the Evil Devil. Their fear of the Great Devil was much deeper than ordinary people.
However, Lin Cheng was different. When facing Lin Cheng, these people would never have the same fear as when facing a great devil.
If Lin Cheng was a famous powerful being, these people wouldn't be so confident and arrogant, much less look down on him.
However, Lin Cheng was just a traitorous disciple of Unification Sect. Back in Unification Sect... The difference between him and Qin Jianghe was like the difference between heaven and earth. He had never even heard of Qin Jianghe's name. Not to mention, he was qualified to pay a visit to Qin Jianghe.
Therefore, it was imaginable how low Lin Cheng's status was in the eyes of the other experts.
Lin Cheng had only relied on luck to obtain some fortune. This was why he was lucky enough to become a rising star of the major powers, or even a wild kid who had just gotten lucky. This was what these experts thought from the bottom of their hearts.
In this way, how could they possibly be afraid of Lin Cheng?
What these experts thought in their hearts was more jealousy. They had gone through countless hardships and experienced life and death, and only then did they become mighty figures. However, Lin Cheng was already on equal footing with them at such a young age. They couldn't accept it.
Therefore, these experts were subconsciously afraid of the devil. However, they didn't fear Lin Cheng. In fact, they knew that Lin Cheng was also a mighty figure. and subconsciously look down on him, trying to take his chances. His magic treasure.
If Lin Cheng wasn't a traitor of Unification Sect, but an evil devil instead, even if he wasn't a great devil, these people would still attach great importance to him, as if he was facing a great enemy. They would never look down on him like this.
Lin Cheng knew this very well in his heart.
It was precisely because of this that he displayed his formidable strength from the very beginning. He had intimidated Wu Juyuan and the other mighty figure, and let them know that... He wasn't as weak as they thought he was, but a powerful enemy who could take their lives. Before attacking them, they had to prepare to pay a huge price.
This price might be that they were seriously injured, their cultivation levels falling, to the extent where they might even lose their lives!
Reality proved that Lin Cheng had succeeded in intimidating these people, whether it was Wu Juyuan or the other experts. They did not dare to act rashly again and only berated from afar. Their furious roars seemed to be aggressive, but in fact, they were getting louder and louder. This only further revealed the shock, anger, and fear in their hearts.
But no matter what, these people were, after all, mighty figures. Subconsciously, they weren't afraid of Lin Cheng, although they were shocked by his powerful combat strength. It wasn't that they didn't dare to make any moves. This point... It could be seen from the fact that these people were threatening him with the safety of Longevity Sect and Zhu Ziqiao.
In their hearts, they were still thinking about how to deal with him. They weren't worried that he would kill them, or that they would come to seek revenge.
Therefore, even though Lin Cheng had intimidated them and displayed his powerful combat strength, they were still thinking about how to deal with him. In their hearts, Lin Cheng and the Great Devil weren't enemies of the same level. They were afraid of the Great Devil in their bones, but they were only surprised and bewildered by Lin Cheng and the others.
Wu Juyuan was detestable and cunning, but the other experts weren't any better either.
If possible, Lin Cheng really wanted to kill all of these people. Their lives wouldn't be of any use to the Dongzhou. Instead, they would become the scourge of the Dongzhou.
However, Lin Cheng couldn't do that now. Of course. Killing all of them wasn't something he could do now. However... With the Imperial Bow in his hand, killing another one or two powerful beings wouldn't be a problem for him. However, if he really attacked, it would definitely incite the fury of the other powerful beings. Although these people didn't dare to get angry at the Great Devil, it didn't mean that they didn't dare to fight him with their lives on the line.
Moreover, these people were also crafty, and they decided that they might not really fight with their lives on the line. It was very likely that they would use other underhanded tricks. At that time, Lin Cheng might really ignore both sides and affect Zhu Ziqiao. The heavenly punishment had failed.
However, Lin Cheng did not retreat at all. Instead, he became more and more unyielding.
Now, as long as he showed any signs of backing down, those people who were shocked would immediately react. At that time, Lin Cheng's plan would collapse.
Therefore, Lin Cheng was intimidating Wu Juyuan and the others. He announced that as long as they dared to hurt a single person from the Longevity Sect, they would use ten people from their sect and a hundred people to pay for it.2
Sure enough, those people didn't dare to try it. Even the incomparably cunning Wu Juyuan didn't dare to make a fuss about it.
Lin Cheng's eyes were cold and gloomy as he swept across the place where those people were standing. In his heart, he had already determined the outcome of these people. As long as this day passed... He would pay a visit to the sects where these people were staying one by one. He would not miss out on any of them.
At that time, these people would have to pay the price for what they had done today.
"What? No one took action?"
Lin Cheng's voice was cold, "It seems like all of you are just so-so!"
