"Hmm, it seems it's time to head to the core area."
Seeing Luo Feng and his group enter the core area from afar, Lin Hao flew towards the core.
……
At the very heart of this entire realm within a realm is a castle built on a plain, a castle entirely deep blue.
Directly above the castle is that sphere of light that illuminates the entire realm within a realm!
Tens of thousands of people gathered around the castle, with five large forces clearly separated and stationed there: the Hundred Tiger Tower, the Northern Dragon City, the Black Cloud Society, the Holy Land 'Black Dragon Mountain', and the Holy Land 'Ice Sea Divine Kingdom'.
They saw Lin Hao flying alone towards the castle from afar, and the crowd stirred.
Chapter 50 Protecting the Ninth Princess!
"What are you afraid of? No matter how strong he is, he's just one person. Does he dare to be so presumptuous in front of thousands of us?"
Someone in the crowd said indignantly.
However, no one responded to him. Everyone knew this principle, but no one wanted to be targeted by Lin Hao and become cannon fodder.
Moreover, the five major factions are currently maintaining a fragile balance in terms of numbers. Lin Hao is just a lone wolf. Although he cannot recruit him, there is no need for him to step forward and let other forces benefit.
Luo Feng and his four companions in the North Dragon City camp were filled with excitement. Although they didn't know what Lin Hao was up to, they were truly impressed by his imposing presence.
“Mr. Lin Hao, I am Sachisen from the Holy Land of Heilong Mountain.”
A burly man with purple hair flew out from the crowd, speaking in a fairly polite tone, "Although you rejected my invitation before, the invitation is still valid."
"I admit you are very strong and talented, but in the end, you are only one person!"
"Not to mention the more than ten thousand adventurers in front of you, there are nearly two million more who are about to enter the Realm Within a Realm. Even if you are exceptionally strong and manage to seize the treasure, you should know what the situation is like outside right now!"
"Even a single world can make universe-level powerhouses and domain lords envious. This realm within a realm is ten times rarer and ten times more precious than a single world! Therefore, there are already a large number of universe-level powerhouses, domain lords, and even great realm lords on Canglan Star and at the exit of the Thunder World!"
“Powerful figures have arrived from the two holy lands, four major organizations, and sixteen major families of my Black Dragon Mountain Star Region!”
"Therefore, the major organizations and forces have long agreed that if an adventurer is not from one of the two holy lands, four major organizations, or sixteen major families, they will be immediately captured and controlled once they leave the Thunder World."
"At that time, even if you are extraordinary, you won't be as easy to talk to as you are now."
After finishing his sentence, Satchison waited confidently for Lin Hao's response.
Even if Lin Hao is a genius cultivated by some powerful force before entering the world, and is not afraid of the blockades of those powerful figures inside and outside the realm, he should not stubbornly continue to be a lone wolf.
Lin Hao completely ignored him, flew past him, landed at the castle gate, and sat down directly!
"you!"
Satchison's face suddenly turned pale, and the veins on his neck throbbed like earthworms, but in the end he didn't dare to make a move and returned to the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land's group.
snort!
Wait until the Ninth Princess arrives, then let's see how arrogant you can still be!
……
It was the third day that Lin Hao sat quietly at the castle gate.
call out!call out!call out!
A dense array of dark shadows suddenly flew from afar toward the castle in the sky.
"so many people?"
"How come so many people suddenly appeared?"
There was some unrest within all five factions.
Luo Feng mingled in the crowd, looked up at the sky, and quickly confirmed the number: "There are about six hundred people? And judging from the looks of it, they should be from the same force. More than six hundred people completely disrupts the balance of the five major factions."
The five factions and tens of thousands of adventurers were all whispering among themselves.
"Black Dragon Mountain, Sachisen pays respects to Her Highness the Ninth Princess!"
A loud voice rang out across the sky; the voice was not only excited but also tinged with grievance.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Ninth Princess!"
In perfect unison, as if the heavens and earth were roaring, a large group of people from the sacred site of Black Dragon Mountain simultaneously bowed respectfully.
Meanwhile, more than 600 people in the air were surrounding a girl with short, light-gold hair, sharp phoenix eyes, and wearing bright gold armor that highlighted her heroic spirit and arrogance.
The girl stood in mid-air, her phoenix eyes flashing like lightning as she surveyed the area below.
Upon seeing Lin Hao, Ninth Princess Brolin's eyes lit up. She gestured for her guards to step back and landed alone in front of Lin Hao. "You are Lin Hao?"
"Exactly."
Lin Hao, on the one hand, was not used to looking up at the other person, and on the other hand, he was seriously admiring the long legs, so he didn't even lift his eyelids as he spoke.
Seeing Lin Hao's rather rude behavior, Brolin's lips twitched, but she held back.
She casually tossed a badge that hovered in front of Lin Hao and said, "I am Princess Brolin, the Ninth Princess of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. I admire your strength and talent. Join my Imperial Martial Corps and you will enjoy the title of Imperial Earl and be able to choose any three treasures from the resource treasury. If you can help me obtain the 'Lord of the Kabu Realm' inheritance in the Realm Within a Realm... I can even recommend you to become a disciple of an Immortal God."
"That does sound very sincere, but... aren't you taking yourself too seriously?"
Lin Hao fiddled with the badge, then casually tossed it back before clapping his hands and standing up.
Brolin's murderous intent surged, but she still didn't act impulsively. She had seen the video of Lin Hao withstanding the thunder, and she had also seen Lin Hao freeze more than ten people into ice sculptures in a way that she couldn't understand at all.
"Hmph, I, Brolin, have never offended you in any way. Since you look down on my Black Dragon Mountain Empire, then you'd better watch yourself!"
After saying some polite words to save face, Brolin quietly pulled everyone to her side and completely disappeared into the large group from the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land.
"Genius? The universe has no shortage of geniuses who die young!"
Brolin, hiding in the crowd, uttered these words as if they were a signal.
"laugh!"
A blinding white light shot towards Lin Hao at the castle gate in an instant, catching everyone off guard.
However, without warning, a water mirror made of primordial power appeared in front of Lin Hao, and its blinding white light returned along the same path, instantly piercing through one of the nine bodyguards behind the Ninth Princess.
The bodyguard was also holding a weapon that was about three meters long and had a caliber of about thirty centimeters, similar to an enlarged version of a 'man-portable rocket launcher' on Earth.
Quiet!
All five factions were stunned.
The faint visual remnant of that white light lingered in their field of vision, leaving everyone somewhat bewildered. Soon, however, they all realized what had happened!
Just now, the Ninth Princess's bodyguard tried to kill Lin Hao with a laser gun, but Lin Hao somehow deflected it back.
Lin Hao naturally didn't want to be forced into a passive state of feigned death, or to try to withstand the laser gun head-on. As soon as the Ninth Princess appeared, he secretly raised his vigilance, constantly monitoring the nine bodyguards behind her with his domain's radiation.
The moment the laser gun was pulled out, Lin Hao had already set up the water mirror.
The water mirror, imbued with primordial power, is perfect for dealing with these straightforward technological weapons!
The Ninth Princess Brolin was about to use Lin Hao to establish her authority, but the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat.
After witnessing her personal guards being shot dead, Brolin's pupils contracted, her fingers trembled slightly, and she said coldly, "It seems that Lord Lin Hao is indeed fearless... but my men were reckless."
"However, you killed members of my Imperial Martial Legion—are you prepared to bear the consequences?"
Lin Hao chuckled, "Bloryn, it seems you really haven't grasped the situation..."
Then Lin Hao walked step by step toward Brolin.
Brolin tried to back away, but found that her legs wouldn't obey her commands.
She soon realized it wasn't her imagination; her legs were completely frozen to the ground from the knees down.
That wasn't the scariest part. What was truly terrifying was that the other eight bodyguards behind her, armed with C2-level laser guns, were all turned into ice sculptures, guns and all.
However, no one else around was affected.
"Be bold!"
"Protect Her Highness the Ninth Princess!"
……
The core members of the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land team dared not stand idly by any longer. If something happened to the Ninth Princess in front of them, what awaited them would be worse than death!
In an instant, more than a thousand people from the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land team unleashed a variety of primal energy and telekinetic weapons, creating a dazzling display of colors as they attacked Lin Hao from all directions.
Luo Feng and his companions, watching the scene unfold from afar, felt their hearts leap into their throats.
Chapter 51 How about we start dating?
Faced with the overwhelming onslaught of attacks, Lin Hao dared not be careless. He focused all his efforts on maintaining a ten-meter domain around himself, with the Law of Water flowing through his body to form countless small mirrors. Then, he simply endured it!
He didn't want to use his domain to kill indiscriminately.
After all, killing is not the goal.
Countless colorful energy attacks and bizarre telekinetic weapons attacked.
Most of the energy attacks were reflected by the water mirror created by Lin Hao, and chaos ensued among the crowd.
A small portion of the attacks managed to penetrate the gaps and strike Lin Hao.
"It hurts quite a bit, but it's bearable, is that all?"
After being subjected to a wave of violent energy of various colors, Lin Hao looked slightly disheveled and chuckled.
Lin Hao casually pulled out a third-tier Void-Slaying Blade and slashed down the psychic weapons that had been slowed down by the domain and were flying unsteadily toward him.
What shocked the crowd even more was that the vast majority of those who had just launched the attack were turned into new ice sculptures.
However, this was alright because Lin Hao was focused on defending himself. This rudimentary application of the law only had a control effect and did not cause much damage.
However, it had a tremendous psychological impact on the more than 10,000 adventurers present!
"Everyone! His domain has the ability to reflect energy attacks. Quickly use melee weapons to surround and kill him."
Although Princess Brolin's legs were frozen, she did not give up the fight.
The Imperial Martial Corps was mostly composed of martial artists, but the charging martial artists only realized how disgusting it was after entering Lin Hao's domain.
Once inside, they were like actors in a comedy film played out in slow motion, posing no threat to Lin Hao.
