Buzz!
Fei Yu was closer to the Xu Tuo Overlord and was the first to be attacked.
At the moment the giant hand struck, a light suddenly shone from Fei Yu's body.
Boom!
The light collided with the giant hand!
The terrifying shockwave swept in all directions!
With a crackling sound, the light shattered.
It was suddenly pushed back by a force!
"Oh? A talisman from the Seven Tribulations Overlord? Is this what you rely on to be disrespectful to me? Ridiculous!"
The Xu Tuo Overlord sneered coldly and attacked again, this time with a giant hand formed by nine Tribulation Thunder Thoughts!
Seeing this, everyone gasped in shock!
There was actually an unwritten rule among the major Holy Lands of the Divine Continent.
After a protective talisman is shattered, the overlord will not strike at ordinary Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors!
You have to give some face to the talisman's owner.
But obviously, the Xu Tuo Overlord was furious and had no intention of following this rule at all!
Meanwhile, his giant hand of the Five Tribulations Thunder Thought arrived in front of Lin Mu!
A cold glint flashed in Lin Mu's eyes, and the Nine Cauldrons Thirteen Stars Longsword was about to burst out.
At the next moment, a light suddenly came from afar!
Bang!
Like a sharp longsword, it directly split the giant hand apart!
Bang!
That Tribulation Thunder Thought was directly struck away.
Overlord!
All eyes turned.
Only an overlord would have such attack power to knock away another overlord's Tribulation Thunder Thought!
Who is this person?
Why are they protecting Lin Wudi?
Could it be that the intention to win him over has not ceased?
"Who is it?"
The Xu Tuo Overlord couldn't be bothered to continue entangling with Fei Yu, and looked west with an unpleasant expression.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Before the person even appeared, there was already a violent coughing sound.
A moment later, a phantom slowly appeared before everyone.
This person had a stooped figure and a dim face.
If it weren't for them just striking away the Xu Tuo Overlord's Tribulation Thunder Thought, the Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors around might have mistaken them for someone about to die from illness!
These were symptoms of a shattered Tribulation Thunder Thought and injuries not yet fully recovered!
To the Heavenly Ancestors, this person's condition was not unfamiliar.
However, for someone so severely injured to not find a place to retreat, and instead recklessly get involved in matters between Lin Wudi and the Xu Tuo Overlord, seemed somewhat unwise!
"Are you Zhen Ying? You sickly ghost, how dare you meddle in my affairs!"
The overlords of the Heavenly Realm were all very familiar with each other.
After taking a glance, the Xu Tuo Overlord recognized the person's identity.
Zhen Ying, the current Family Head of the Zhen Family in the Northern Jambu Continent.
He had not appeared on the Heavenly Battlefield for many years since his severe injury eight thousand years ago.
Even the Heavenly Realm Guard had exempted him from guarding the Heavenly Battlefield.
Unexpectedly, he would appear here.
Zhen Ying coughed, panting as he said, "Xu Tuo, we have been old friends. Today, give me some face, and let this matter pass, how about it?"
The Xu Tuo Overlord laughed heartily after hearing this and sneered, "Your Zhen Family, just a small family from the Upper Continent, dares to demand face from my Azure Holy Land? Zhen Ying, I think you're befuddled by your illness!"
The Xu Tuo Overlord looked at Zhen Ying with eyes full of ridicule.
He had seen him once after Zhen Ying got injured.
Compared to eight thousand years ago, Zhen Ying's injuries had not only not recovered but had worsened.
If this went on much longer, he feared the Five Decays of Heaven and Man would not be far away.
This dying waste dares ask for face from him, the Xu Tuo.
Utterly laughable!
Zhen Ying seemed to see through Xu Tuo's arrogance and smiled faintly, "I am indeed not far from the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, but I can guarantee that if someone fights me, before I die, I will seriously injure them! Xu Tuo, do you want to try?"
Zhen Ying's attitude became increasingly composed.
A person unafraid of death fears nothing.
If he fears not even death, what can Xu Tuo use to fight him!
If it came to a fight, Zhen Ying would die, but Xu Tuo's outcome wouldn't be much better!
A single misstep and he might end up like Zhen Ying in his current ghostly state.
The Xu Tuo Overlord's eyes flashed coldly.
He didn't expect this sickly ghost Zhen Ying to dare be so forceful.
"Zhen Ying, do you truly think my Azure Holy Land doesn't dare make a move on your Zhen Family?"
The Azure Holy Land is a top-tier Holy Land of the Southern Spirit Divine Continent, possessing several Eight Tribulation Peak Overlords.
There are dozens of Seven Tribulations Overlords!
The strongest in the Zhen Family is merely Six Tribulations!
Angering the Azure Holy Land, the Zhen Family would utterly be unable to bear the consequences.
"Haha, if I die to atone, Azure Holy Land would surely not hold a grudge against a dead man, would it?"
Zhen Ying's smile became even brighter.
The Xu Tuo Overlord was momentarily at a loss.
Indeed, if the instigator Zhen Ying died in battle, would Azure Holy Land truly continue harping on?
No matter what, the Zhen Family is still aligned with the Heavenly Realm Guard!
But isn't it said that the Heavenly Realm Guard is extremely hostile to Lin Wudi, eager to eliminate him?
Why would the Zhen Family, originating from the Heavenly Realm Guard, be partial to Lin Wudi?
"For a Second Thunder Tribulation junior, would you not hesitate to lose your life? And would the Zhen Family not hesitate to offend my Azure Holy Land?"
Although Xu Tuo Overlord's gaze remained cold, the killing intent in his eyes gradually receded.
He is indeed domineering, but there's no need to contend with a dying man.
If he were dragged down by Zhen Ying, it'd be too unjust.
"Lin Wudi is extremely important to my Zhen Family."
Seeing the Xu Tuo Overlord's change in attitude, Zhen Ying's tone also softened.
The Xu Tuo Overlord sneered, "Zhen Ying, perhaps you don't know, just now, Lin Wudi refused all of the Holy Lands' overtures!"
"Even the Holy Master position promised by Qiantai Holy Land was declined by Lin Wudi. What can your Zhen Family offer!"
Just now, Lin Wudi had clearly said that he would only be the Lord of the Earth Blessed Land in the future!
A genius like Lin Wudi would not slap his own face so quickly!
To the Xu Tuo Overlord, Zhen Ying's effort was all for naught.
Lin Mu watched this scene, also feeling somewhat surprised in his heart.
The people of the Zhen Family were actually willing to protect him with their lives.
They have no kinship or ties, yet they would go to such lengths.
Zhen Ying looked at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu nodded.
"I have no intention of joining any other Holy Land or family."
In light of Zhen Ying's deadly protection, Lin Mu explained.
Though in his view, he does not need the Zhen Family's protection.
The Xu Tuo Overlord looked at Zhen Ying with an amused expression.
Look, this is the one risking their life to protect, yet the person fundamentally doesn't appreciate it.
Zhen Ying remained silent, seemingly hesitating.
He looked back at Lin Wudi, saw the dazzling purple aura on him, and spoke softly.
"My Zhen Family does not aim to win over Lord Lin but for the entire Zhen Family to join the Earth Blessed Land."
A single statement ignited the entire scene.
The Zhen Family is to join the Earth Blessed Land!
Even in decline, the Zhen Family has a Six-Tribulation Overlord and a Five-Tribulation Overlord!
Such a family, even in the Upper Continent like Northern Jambu Continent, is a regional power!
Now, the Zhen Family actually wants to join the Earth Blessed Land, pledging allegiance to the Second Thunder Tribulation Lin Wudi!
The actions of the Zhen Family exceed even the promise of a Holy Master position by Fei Yu!
Five Tribulations, Six Tribulations, two overlords pledging allegiance to a Second Thunder Tribulation!
Such an absurd scene, if not heard with their own ears, no one present would dare believe it.
Even Fei Yu was astonished, his eyes wide, full of disbelief.
He thought he was bold enough and offered generous terms.
He didn't expect there could be someone even bolder!
The few Heavenly Realm Guards were also dumbfounded.
The Zhen Family is, after all, a force that came out of the Heavenly Realm Guard, and the Zhen Family Ancestor was once one of them.
Now, they're going to pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Realm Guard's arch-enemy?
The Zhen Family must have gone mad!
