Chapter 1864 Million Thoughts, Ten Million Opinions

Feng Baxing was at the limit of his anger and had decided to summon the weapon spirit of the Shearing Hurricane Fan.

~PIIIII~

The weapon spirit of the Shearing Hurricane Fan seemed to be infuriated as well, but due to another reason.

High Elder Juxue who watched this couldn"t help but shake his head.

"This kid… wasn"t he warned about summoning the Weapon Spirit? It hasn"t accepted him and yet he summons it forcefully… he won"t be able to use the Shearing Hurricane Fan after this." High Elder Juxue thought.

He knew all about the three signature weapons of the Feng Imperial Family and had even used them once upon a time.

~sigh~

"Is this why Nephew gave it to you? A test…" High Elder Juxue felt disappointed. "But for Mu Lin… how will he fare now?" he wondered.

Rather than his grand nephew, High Elder Juxue was a lot more invested in Lin Mu. He had seen the man"s progress and growth in the man.

Not only did he observe and learn from his opponent, he even managed to find ways to overcome them. As such, High Elder Juxue was highly interested in seeing whether Lin Mu could survive this.

"Even if he does lose, the Temple will certainly want a candidate like him." High Elder Juxue was sure of it.

The moment, the final report would be seen at the Temple, Lin Mu would certainly be a person of great interest. Feng Baxing was not an option for the temple to recruit anyways whereas Lin Mu had no known background.

As such he was an ideal candidate for them. He had already demonstrated the levelheadedness as well as the observation skill one needed to have to be a member of the temple of the Four Guardian beasts.

He wasn"t the only one thinking about Lin Mu either.

All the people in the audience, n.o.bles, aristocrats including several people that Lin Mu knew were watching him too.

Lin Mu"s companions watched with tense expressions while Countess Xiurong who owned the Spring Valley Restaurant had a petulant expression.

"Come on… you have to win. I have a lot of money riding on you." Countess Xiurong thought while watching on the formation screen.

She was sitting in her private residence and was accompanying several more n.o.bles that were her acquaintances of her. On her advice, they had also bet on Lin Mu and were hoping to win.

A kilometer away from that, another person who knew Lin Mu but wasn"t directly acquainted with him was watching.

~puff~

A mature beauty took a puff from a pipe and blew out a stream of smoke. Her long nails shimmered in the light of the lanterns while her deep eyes had a hazy look.

"Looks like our "candidate" is stronger than we thought…" Lady Kang spoke.

"My lady, is it wise to take him for the expedition?" one of the woman"s servants asked.

"Of course. His cultivation base might be lower than we thought, but his skills make up for it. Besides, I do not think he is revealing all that he knows." Lady Kang replied while smiling.

"If you say so, my lady." The Servant bowed her head.

Farther away from here, in the Imperial palace grounds the Crown Prince was watching the battle without blinking for even a second.

"What do you think, can he endure the Weapon Spirit?" Crown Princess Shang asked. "It just might be too much for him. He should be exhausted too." She said with concern.

"He"ll get through it." Crown Prince Feng Shun said with confidence.

"Hmm… and if he wins, how will the Third Prince take it. He will surely not be calm." Commander Dui spoke.

"That is true." Monk Hushu chimed in. "From what I"ve heard so far, the Third Prince isn"t rational when he"s agitated. Who knows if he might take a drastic decision in a moment of anger." He added.

"Monk Hushu makes sense." Daoist Chu agreed. "Just in case, we should probably be ready."

"Very well." Crown Prince Feng Shun said before standing up. "I"ll head there personally… if Feng Baxing does anything excess, I doubt father would mind me disciplining him. It"ll be an extra lesson for him after the loss." He stated before leaping off the balcony.

"Wait!" Crown Princess Shang called out to him, but the prince had already flown away. "~sigh~ let"s go after him. We don"t want him to make too big of a spectacle at this time either." She suggested.

The others nodded and flew out as well.

Most of the people in the capital city might not be able to fly due to the restrictions, but the Crown Prince and his companions already had the permission for it.

Finally, far from all this, in the Hundred Fruits Pavilion three pairs of eyes were watching the match too.

All three pairs of eyes had vertical pupils in them, but their colors were different. One pair was black, one was white and the final one was emerald green in color!

Two pairs belonged to the Yin Yang Twin Serpents and the final belonged to none other than the Saintess.

~hiss~

The twins hissed in anxiousness as they watched Lin Mu getting cornered.

"It will be fine." The Saintess spoke. "Your master is a lot more capable than this. A mere Peak Grade Immortal Weapon Spirit and some third rate prince won"t be enough to defeat him." She said with confidence.

~shaaa~

The twins were a bit relieved hearing this, but still had a bit of worry in their eyes.

Tens of millions of thoughts and opinions were made about Lin Mu in the span of a few seconds, all of them happening at the same time.

The man in question was unaware of them and was only focused on the danger at hand.

"I won"t be able to endure this like before." Lin Mu muttered to himself. "Feng Baxing"s strength is already at the seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm with this attack."
