Ling Luoling and the others had very ugly expressions on their faces. Anyone who was reprimanded upon arrival would not be happy.
They exchanged glances, each filled with dissatisfaction.
But no one spoke up.
After the reprimand, the person coldly laughed upon seeing that Ling Luoling and the others weren't speaking. He said, “You few, if you have urgent matters that require activating the Cross-Boundary Communication Array, just say it directly. However, I warn you, if I find out that you have no important matters but still activated the Cross-Boundary Array, even if Elder Su wants to protect you, I will still report to the Holy Lord, and you will be severely punished.”
“You guys, even if you encounter life-threatening danger, are not qualified to use the Cross-Boundary Communication Array.”
This arrogant man's gaze was icy, full of pride.
Holy Lord?
Shangguan Xier's heart stirred slightly. In her eyes, these Heavenly Realm experts were already invincible beings, but from the words of this arrogant man, she sensed that Ling Luoling and the others had no standing in their organization and were merely at the bottom level.
Moreover, the proud man in front of them seemed to have a serious conflict with Elder Su, who was above Ling Luoling and the others. That was why he had such an attitude, reprimanding them sharply upon arrival.
It seemed that these Heavenly Realm people were just like that, engaging in intrigue and competition, yet thinking they were so impressive.
As for the Holy Lord mentioned by this arrogant man, he seemed to be the strongest in this force, but it was unclear what level of expert the Holy Lord truly was and what status he held in the Heavenly Realm.
Shangguan Xier silently remembered all this, standing by calmly.
Ling Luoling and the others looked extremely displeased and finally couldn't help but say, “Lord Yuwen, we have urgent matters to report to the Holy Lord, please allow us to do so.”
“Urgent matters?”
The towering man sneered, “What urgent matters could you few possibly have? You want to report to the Holy Lord? Does the Holy Lord have time to meet you? Just tell me directly.”
Ling Luoling took a deep breath and coldly replied, “Lord Yuwen, we address you as 'Lord' because of your status and position. However, we are under Elder Su's command and are not under your jurisdiction. Moreover, we understand the preciousness of the Cross-Boundary Communication Array. Since we have activated it, it naturally indicates that we have urgent matters, which might even be extremely important matters for the Holy Lord. If this matter is hindered because of you, I believe the Holy Lord will hold you accountable for it.”
“Hmph.”
Yuwen Bo's gaze instantly turned icy, and a chilling killing intent erupted from his narrow eyes. An invisible pressure seemed to come through the light barrier: “Ling Luoling, are you threatening me?”
“How could we dare to threaten you, Lord Yuwen? We are just stating facts.”
Ling Luoling replied calmly and firmly.
“Good, very good.”
Yuwen Bo smiled, but the smile was very cold, like an ancient ice: “I didn't expect that after going to the lower realm, you would become so bold. Indeed, if you delay the Holy Lord's important matters, I couldn't bear the consequences. However, you must at least tell me what this urgent matter is, right? Otherwise, how can I report to the Holy Lord?”
Yuwen Bo sneered repeatedly. He had already made up his mind that if Ling Luoling and the others didn't provide an explanation, he would definitely report their disrespect to the Holy Lord. At that time, even if Ling Luoling and the others achieved merits in the lower realm, they would still suffer the consequences.
What right did a few subordinates of Su Quan have to challenge him?
Ling Luoling paused for a moment and then said, “Alright, it's no harm to tell you, it's related to the origin of time.”
“What, the origin of time?”
Yuwen Bo's originally sneering expression instantly changed, as if he had heard something unbelievable. His eyes burst with divine light as he sternly asked, “Are you sure?”
