Chapter 384: An Expert Encounters a Masked Hero
All five of them wore the uniforms of Taiqing Academy disciples. Though Lin Yun didn’t know their status within the academy, there was no doubt that their leader was very powerful.
Lin Yun was unaware that their leader was one of the Ten Core Disciples of Taiqing Academy, and the other four were all Direct Disciples. None of them had a simple background.
"What do you all mean by blocking my path?" Lin Yun asked, his expression unchanged.
From the very start, as Lin Yun was sizing them up, the five had been doing the same to him. Upon discovering that Lin Yun was only at the Sixth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm, they relaxed. In their eyes, someone at the Sixth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm was no different from an ant.
"It’s nothing," the lead Core Disciple from Taiqing Academy said. "We saw a Firebird from Flawless Palace and thought we’d come over to say hello."
"In that case, I have other matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave." Not wanting to get entangled with them, Lin Yun said his piece and prepared to depart.
But just as he was about to move around them, the other four suddenly leaped off the Cyan Cloud Crane, completely surrounding him.
With Lin Yun surrounded, the young man still standing on the back of the Cyan Cloud Crane spoke slowly, "My brothers and I have run into a bit of trouble recently. Since we are all disciples of the Five Great Forces, I wonder if you might be generous and help us overcome this hardship?"
’Be generous?’ A cold sneer touched Lin Yun’s lips. ’How ironic. I’ve always been the one robbing others; I never thought I’d be on the receiving end.’
’What "be generous"? If you want to rob me, just say it. Or to be more blunt, you five are probably just here to kill me, aren’t you?’ Lin Yun knew exactly what they were up to.
