Boom! A punch hit its mark.
Sikong Zhen stood firm, unmoving, like a demon god towering over the heavens, his gaze filled with contempt.
Opposite him, Protector Xuan Di staggered back, his eyes filled with shock.
Unbelievable.
He had actually lost.
“Protector Xuan Di, is that all you’ve got?” Sikong Zhen scoffed, remaining steadfast, as immovable as the Divine Mountain.
Protector Mi Kong felt a chill run down his spine, cold sweat breaking out all over him.
Sikong Zhen's performance would undoubtedly attract countless gazes, directly making him the target of everyone's attention.
Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, an elder behind Xuan Di suddenly stood up.
“Hmph, your tone is quite arrogant. Protector Mi Kong, where did you find this guy? Why have I never seen him before? Is he a disciple from any faction of my Linyuan Sacred Gate?”
This was a stern-looking middle-aged man, with brows like swords, his figure tall and straight, like a spear or the Heavenly Pillar, his spine erect like a great dragon piercing the sky, coldly addressing the situation.
“Indeed, Protector Mi Kong, who exactly is this person? When did my Linyuan Sacred Gate get such a supreme expert? And we have never seen him before, which is quite suspicious.”
“Protector Mi Kong, speak up, who is this person?”
The elders frowned one after another, speaking in low tones.
The strength displayed by Sikong Zhen was simply too formidable; repelling Protector Xuan Di indicated he was a master among supreme level warriors. Such a person appearing in their Linyuan Sacred Gate, and having never been seen before, left these individuals perplexed.
Even some elders who had no hostility towards Protector Mi Kong frowned and looked over with solemn expressions.
“This... this...” Protector Mi Kong stammered, “This person is a friend of mine, with whom I have a good relationship. He just joined my Linyuan Sacred Gate not long ago, so it’s understandable that you don’t know him.”
“A friend of yours?”
Many powerful figures were filled with doubt.
“Hmph, this is the Black Jade Continent, not the Dark Continent. There are only so many supreme level experts, and we have all heard of them. How can we not know the name of this person? Please reveal his name; I’m sure we should have all heard of it.”
The middle-aged elder said in a deep voice.
“This…” Protector Mi Kong furrowed his brows, feeling anxious.
If this were the Dark Continent, he could easily fabricate an explanation; after all, there were countless supreme experts there, and no one knew every single one.
But here on the Black Jade Continent, supreme experts were extremely rare. As long as he named anyone, the protectors and elders present could investigate, making it impossible to hide.
In an instant, cold sweat drenched Protector Mi Kong’s back.
Seeing this, Protector Xuan Di's gaze sharpened, taking on a sinister tone as he said, “Vice Sect Master Ancient Void Night and everyone, Protector Mi Kong is indeed suspicious. There are many supreme experts from our Black Jade Continent, and none of us have ever seen this person before. His sudden appearance in our Linyuan Sacred Gate is truly bizarre. I suggest we join forces and apprehend him to see if he harbors any ill intentions.”
As soon as this was said, countless gazes turned toward Sikong Zhen, their expressions wary.
Protector Mi Kong's face grew pale, anxious in his heart, and he transmitted a message to Sikong Zhen and Qin Chen, “Sigh, what should I say? I told you not to reveal yourselves, but you insisted on making a move. What do you want me to do now?”
Qin Chen stood to the side, chuckling lightly, “What’s the problem with this? Sikong Zhen, given our identities, why must we hide and cover up?”
“Right, my lord.”
Hearing Qin Chen's words, Sikong Zhen immediately nodded.
Then, he took a step forward.
“Hahaha, you all want to know my identity, right? Fine, I won’t change my name or my surname; I am Sikong Zhen. Those who recognize me here should not be few, right?”
