With these thoughts, the young man faintly smiled bitterly to himself. Indeed, he had not prepared well either.

"He who offends Qingyun Company must be killed, even if he's far away from it. We, the Seven Injuries Sect…" he muttered.

"Senior Brother, you actually want to challenge Lin Tian from Qingyun Company. What should we do? I heard that they killed several dozen Martial Arts Grandmasters easily. Those were several dozen Martial Arts Grandmasters..."

The people of the Seven Injuries Sect, including the higher-ups, all had cold feelings in their hearts at that moment.

...

Those who offended Lin Yun, though their hearts were cold and filled with fear and anger, they all had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, that Lin Yun would fall in this incident.

Perhaps, they could see a chance of survival then.

On the stage.

Lin Yun and Taiyi stood facing each other.

"Have you thought it through?" asked Taiyi, at that moment.

"Zhang, do you still stand by your previous words?" Lin Yun asked, turning his head to look at Zhang Qiankun, who wasn't too far from Taiyi.

"Hmm?" Zhang Qiankun was taken aback.

He quickly remembered what he had told Lin Yun earlier, that as long as Lin Yun did not violate martial arts convention rules, no one would impose any trouble on him as long as he remained within the convention. The martial arts convention did not allow any conflict outside the life-or-death stage, this was also one of its rules.

With these thoughts, Zhang Qiankun furrowed his brows.

This obviously presented a problem.

Even if a Grandmaster at the peak of the Huajin realm were to come, he would have dared to make such a rule.

However, this time, a formidable warrior at the Innate realm had come, representing the official Sky Group. How could he use general rules to restrain them?

Nonetheless, before the hall full of people, if he allowed Taiyi to take Lin Yun away, the credibility of their martial arts convention would likely be damaged considerably.

"Taiyi, you should be aware of the martial arts convention rules. However, I fear it isn't appropriate for you to act this way..." After a moment of consideration, Zhang Qiankun decided to still address Taiyi, albeit in a rather hesitant tone.

"National law supersedes all other rules, Zhang. Do you agree? Or do you believe that the rules of this martial arts convention have already surpassed national law?" Taiyi coldly retorted.

For these martial artists, the nation had already given many privileges in various aspects, such as the life-or-death stage of the martial arts convention, which was rather irregular, among other things. Now, they even demanded that national law give way to the rules of the martial arts convention. Wasn't this a bit too presumptuous?

"This…" Zhang Qiankun regretted his previous words.

He had not expected Taiyi to be this blunt, this strict, and so unyielding. If he had known earlier, he would not have spoken as he had.

"Since that is the case, Zhang, I do not want to make things difficult for the martial arts convention. Just now, these two gentlemen have stated that they have no objections to me taking the first seat. Therefore, I should have no issues coming out first in this talent competition. Now, does this mean the prize for the first place belongs to me?" Lin Yun asked.

"The prize?" Zhang Qiankun was taken aback upon hearing Lin Yun's words.

He had not expected Lin Yun to mention the first prize of the talent competition at this point, without showing any concern for his own safety.

Though Zhang Qiankun was somewhat reluctant to part with the prize, his heart jerked at the sight. Could it be that Lin Yun was confident about his safety?

It was very likely...

The way Lin Yun was speaking suggested he joined this talent competition for the prize. Therefore, it was also likely he had already prepared some sort of arrangement!

Taiyi was indeed a power in the Innate realm… If Lin Yun was so confident...

Then it might mean, the forces Lin Yun had arranged were not weak after all.

And since so, he really could not keep the prize for the talent competition first place to himself.

"Of course, you are considered the first place winner in this talent competition now, so the first place prize is rightfully yours…"

With these thoughts in mind, Zhang Qiankun nodded in agreement.

"That's good. Then I can take the first place prize now, right?" Lin Yun nodded in return.

"No problem." Again, Zhang Qiankun nodded his agreement.

Lin Yun's previous words allowed him to deduce Lin Yun's intentions. At that point, he wished nothing more than for Lin Yun to take the first place prize immediately, then rapidly leave, or at least give Tai Yi an explanation.

Seeing Zhang Qiankun's agreement, Lin Yun nodded slightly and proceeded to walk toward the box that contained the first-place prize.

Seeing this, Taiyi did not stop him.

The previous case had involved more than just Lin Yun. Catching only Lin Yun was not his objective.

Observing Lin Yun's behavior at the moment, Taiyi wanted to see what confidence Lin Yun had. It would be best if this could lure out some people, so he could capture them all.

As for those firearms?

Haha, if Lin Yun and his group believed that those firearms could harm him, they were sadly mistaken.

He had heard about those firearms and had a general understanding of what they were like. They might be highly effective against fighters at the peak of the Huajin realm.

However, to deal with a warrior in the Innate realm… they would not be as useful...

Under the circumstances where firearms were ineffective, a martial artist in the initial stage of Dark Strength, even if his strength was comparable to a Huajin realm fighter, along with nine, or a dozen other fighters in the initial stage of Huajin, would not pose any real threat to him.
