Chapter 2999: Chapter 2998: The Only Request
After Lin Dong signed his name for these people, he said to them, "Children, is that enough?"
"I have to leave now."
When everyone heard the word "children," combined with Lin Dong’s current smile, they felt a sense of familiarity, as if they had heard or seen it somewhere before.
But they didn’t think deeply about it. If they had, maybe they would have suspected a connection between Lin Dong and the "Great Thief Li Zhaixing."
However, they clearly didn’t think that way.
Who would associate their idol with such a thief?
"Everyone, until we meet again."
Lin Dong prepared to leave with Ye Linglong immediately.
After all, his identity was exposed, and he felt that someone would surely spread the news of his presence here.
Now, all the powerful forces likely know he’s here.
He needs to leave quickly and disappear from everyone’s sight so that no one knows his exact location.
As Lin Dong was about to leave, the Heavenly Realm Alliance staff who had just checked him hurried forward.
He nervously said to Lin Dong, "Lin... Lin Tian, I’m sorry for earlier. I was blind..."
"Here is your Resuscitating Pill... and a small gift, just a token of respect. I hope Lin Tian accepts it."
He had previously taken a Resuscitating Pill from Lin Dong, and after finding out Lin Dong’s identity, he was scared stiff.
He actually dared to accept a gift from Lin Dong, who is ranked first on the Five Elements Stele.
This is really seeking death!
So he hurried to apologize, hoping Lin Dong would let him go as if it was just a fart.
Lin Dong frowned, looked at him, and took back the Resuscitating Pill.
As for the gift, Lin Dong didn’t accept it, not caring at all.
Seeing that Lin Dong didn’t accept his gift, he panicked, "Lin Tian, please accept it..."
Lin Dong didn’t even look at him but instead looked at Elder Haotian and said, "This person extorted many gifts during the inspection just now."
"For someone to be so blatant indicates how many such people there are in the Heavenly Realm Alliance."
"Elder Haotian, your Heavenly Realm Alliance should make some changes..."
Hearing these words, Elder Haotian quickly said, "Don’t worry, Lin Tian, if after today there are still such people at this base, then I don’t need to be an elder anymore."
He then looked at the person who had extorted Lin Dong’s Resuscitating Pill and said, "You are no longer part of the Heavenly Realm Alliance."
"And everything you have gained using the Heavenly Realm Alliance’s identity, better hand it all over to me, otherwise..."
Hearing this, the man was so frightened that he knelt down.
"Elder, spare my life, spare my life..."
Elder Haotian snorted and ignored him.
Instead, he looked at Lin Dong with a hint of flattery and said, "Lin Tian, how do you find this handling?"
Lin Dong nodded and said no more.
After handling the situation, he left with Ye Linglong.
After they had gone a distance, there were still various discussions behind them.
"It is truly a blessing of three lifetimes to have a chance encounter with Lin Dong Lin Tian."
"And we even got his autograph."
"Where is he planning to go now?"
"Probably to the location of the Five Elements Stele. He has become the number one on the Five Elements Stele, able to receive its two rewards, and he hasn’t claimed them yet."
"Something big might be happening over there at the Five Elements Stele..."
"..."
Meanwhile, on the other side, after Lin Dong and Ye Linglong left the base, they concealed their presence.
He first confirmed whether anyone was following them from behind.
Upon this confirmation, he did indeed find several presences secretly following behind.
Seeing this, Lin Dong snorted coldly and said, "I don’t care if you’re friend or foe, if you continue to follow, don’t blame me for being unkind."
As soon as he said this, he slashed out eight Sword Qi from his position.
"Whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz～～～～"
These eight Sword Qi flew out in eight different directions.
It was exactly the eight people who were following him.
These eight people were all Heavenly Realm Martial Artists and experts in concealing their presence, yet they were easily discovered by Lin Dong.
Facing Lin Dong’s Sword Qi, each of them got hit.
Of course, Lin Dong had shown mercy.
He didn’t directly kill them.
He just gave them a small lesson.
The Sword Qi injured them as it passed through.
"Mmm, ah..." In the darkness, there came muffled groans of pain.
Afterward, no one dared to follow Lin Dong anymore.
In the darkness, a shadow said, "I must quickly inform the Shadow Sovereign, that Lin Dong has appeared here..."
This person was clearly a Dark Sentinel of the Dark Family, and he quickly relayed the news to the Secondary Ancestor Shadow Sovereign of the Dark Family.
As for continuing the pursuit, he was no longer capable.
Originally, according to the Shadow Sovereign’s instructions, he was to follow Lin Dong secretly once his figure was spotted, to prevent him from disappearing again.
But even as a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist of the Dark Family skilled in stealth, he couldn’t escape Lin Dong’s perception.
Having already been struck by Lin Dong’s sword, naturally, it was impossible for him to continue following. If he continued to pursue, Lin Dong would certainly not just give him another sword strike.
But would instead directly eliminate him!
He wasn’t foolish enough to risk his life doing something impossible.
Lin Dong took Ye Linglong, transforming into two streaks of light, disappearing in the Blazing Flame Northern Desert area.
This time, he truly vanished, with no tails following behind.
After traveling over a thousand kilometers in the Blazing Flame Northern Desert with Ye Linglong, the two of them finally stopped.
Once they had stopped, Ye Linglong’s heart felt sweet, like she had drunk honey, and she smiled happily.
Seeing her silly smile, Lin Dong couldn’t help but ask, "What are you smiling about? So happy?"
Ye Linglong said, "I’m laughing about the wonderful thing that happened just now, you calling me ’wife.’ You don’t know how many female warriors cast envious glances at me."
"The funniest thing is, I even noticed a few female Taoists and female monks looking at me with envy too."
"Hahaha... In the future, should we change our appearance and always use this identity?"
However, Lin Dong shook his head and said, "My identity as Dong Lin clearly can’t be used anymore. It’s surely been spread around."
"We should choose a different identity."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linglong said, "Change identity, change appearance, change name, it’s all fine... But I must be your wife!"
"You must disguise me as your wife. If you disguise yourself as an old man, then turn me into an old woman. If you disguise yourself as a young man, then turn me into a young woman. If you want to become a middle-aged man, then turn me into a middle-aged woman..."
"I don’t mind being older, or ugly, or even turning into a disabled person, it’s okay... My only requirement is to be your wife."
