Everyone was shocked to see this person appear, but for those that were in the know, they could tell what kind of cultivation he had.
Both the princess and the Beast King had both once surpassed the Soul Realm, so naturally they could tell that this was a man who was in the Star Realm or maybe even above that.
For him to suddenly appear and protect Lin Fan, it was clear that this young man wasn't someone normal.
Not to mention the battle prowess that he demonstrated, it is clear that someone of this level was clearly someone who had a powerful backing.
The princess was someone who was only from a low tier Stellar Kingdom, so while she was considered someone with influence in the upper realm, it didn't mean that she had influence when it came to other Stellar Kingdoms. Rather, the Stellar Kingdom that she had been from was actually one that was at the bottom compared to all other Stellar Kingdoms, so they tried to avoid provoking all other Stellar Kingdoms as much as possible.
The Beast King was someone who was highly regarded by the Beast Race, but he was a loner in the end. While he was important to the Beast Race as a whole, since he didn't join any specific power, he didn't have anyone that would back him completely. The Beast Race experts might help him if he was nearby and it was something that they could solve without suffering many losses, but that was it. This meant that even though he had the power of a King of the Beast Race, he still wouldn't be able to compare to a top tier Stellar Kingdom with all their experts.
Even if they wanted the treasure that was in this realm, they still wanted to keep their lives. After all, their lives were the most important thing.
The Beast King didn't make a move, but the princess came forward and asked, "This senior, may I ask who you are?"
The dark figure looked at her and said, "That's not important, what is important is that this matter will end here today. Do you understand what I mean?"
The princess fell silent at this, but the people behind her weren't willing to see it end just like this. They had the advantage in numbers and the princess was clearly a top expert that surpassed the limits of this realm.
No matter how strong this kid was, it was impossible for them to fight them all even if he had someone backing him up.
That was just the pride that they had as upper realm experts in this lower realm.
They didn't even stop to consider that this dark figure that had suddenly appeared was someone from a realm that they could never dream of, they thought he was just reinforcements that Lin Fan had brought.
One of the experts from the upper realm came forward and said, "Who do you think you are talking to our princess like this? Do you know who our princess really…"
But before he could finish, the princess had already come forward to slap that person across the face, sending him sprawling to the ground before cupping her hands and giving a slight bow to the dark figure.
That person just laid there on the ground with a hand on his cheek, looking at the princess in shock. He was confused and aggrieved because of the princess' slap, but there was nothing that he could do.
The princess didn't even spare that person a glance as she said, "This senior, I'm very sorry about this idiot. Please accept my sincere apology."
The dark figure just stood there without making a sound, but it was clear from his aura that he didn't pay attention to this. Sensing this, the princess let out a sigh of relief on the inside.
After hesitating for a bit longer, she finally said, "As for the matter of this realm, we will follow the words of the senior and leave it at this."
Once she said this, she waved her hand at the people behind her and led them out towards the entrance to this room.
On the way out, she couldn't help taking another look at Lin Fan as a blush came over her face.
This was the kind of man that she had dreamed of meeting. Lin Fan was the perfect one for her, he was handsome, powerful, and had a powerful backing, she wouldn't mind even giving her own body to him if it meant being able to win him over to her Stellar Kingdom.
Of course it was just for her kingdom, it wasn't because he was handsome or anything.
As she thought as the blush on her face became even brighter.
When she passed by Lin Fan, she stopped and turned to look at him.
When Lin Fan saw this, he put his guard up since he thought that she might suddenly sneak attack him. However, all that came was an object that flew through the air towards him.
It was easy for Lin Fan to catch it with his instincts even if it had been suddenly thrown at him.
When he caught it, he was surprised by what it was.
What was in his hand was a token with a lotus that was carved into it. This was a pure gold token that seemed to contain a strong aura to it.
Lin Fan was confused by why the princess had suddenly thrown this token to him, but when he heard her next words, he couldn't stop a few black lines from appearing on his face.
The princess said, "This young master, my name is Bi Lian, the eldest princess of the Bi Stellar Kingdom, I hope that I can get to know you better in the future. This token is my personal token, you can use that to find me if you are ever in the area of the Bi Stellar Kingdom. I promise to show you around personally."
…
…
…
Those were the only thoughts that were in Lin Fan's mind when he heard this.
Please, weren't you just threatening me just now, why are you suddenly doing this?
For once, Lin Fan wasn't as dense as he usually was and immediately picked up on the deeper meaning in Bi Lian's words, but then again, it wasn't hard when she was this forward.
Instead of replying, the first thing Lin Fan did was turn to look at Angela and as expected, she had an ice cold look on her face.
It seemed like he would suffer today…
Bi Lian also felt that chill coming from Angela, but she held her head proudly up high. Even if the Bi Stellar Kingdom was weak, they were still a Stellar Kingdom at least, so she had her pride.
She could see that this beautiful girl by Lin Fan's side was also powerful, but she had confidence in herself.
She believed that she was the only one who could stand by this handsome young master's side.
Of course, it was all for her kingdom.
Un, nothing more than for her kingdom.
It definitely wasn't because he was handsome, alright?
Once they left the room, the upper realm expert that had been slapped to the ground finally recovered from his daze and quickly got up, running to follow in the direction of the princess' group.
When they had passed by earlier, many of the upper realm experts had looked at this upper realm expert in pity, but also with a bit of gratitude. They had felt that same way towards the dark figure, but it was a good thing that this person took the brunt of the princess' wrath.
After all, they were only from an upper realm, they couldn't take the wrath of a princess of a Stellar Kingdom.
That person quickly took one last unwilling look towards Lin Fan's group before disappearing into the corridor.
Now there was only the Beast King's group that was still here.
The instincts of beasts were much stronger than that of humans, so these beasts felt instinctive fear towards this dark figure. Unlike those idiot humans, they clearly knew that this was someone that could kill them at any moment, so they didn't dare make any rash moves.
Most of them went behind the Beast King, trying to hide behind him, which even included the body that the Shadow Lord possessed.
The dark figure looked at the Beast King for a few seconds before asking, "Well?"
The Beast King was clearly unresigned, but he still gave a sigh before saying, "Alright, we'll leave as well."
But right after saying this, he still turned to Lin Fan and said, "I think you still have something that belongs to me."
He wasn't referring to the treasure that had just disappeared, it was clear that he meant something else.
Lin Fan looked right back at him before taking out a crystal from the system's storage which he threw over to the Beast King.
There was an unwilling cry from the crystal, but everyone ignored it as the Beast King took this crystal, shattering them and sucking in the energy that was contained within.
The Beast King's aura became a bit stronger after this, but it was still clearly not enough to take them on, so he also waved his hand and brought his group out.
Just like that, there was only Lin Fan's group who were left in this room along with this dark figure that just silently stood there.
