Chapter 89: A Palm Fallen From The Sky

“Expert?” the Qingyang Elder scoffed. “Do you think I’ll believe such a childish excuse?”

“You’ve witnessed the Chess Fanatic’s chess move. Even though he was unable to solve the game, do you think I’d be able to solve it with my current level?” Lin Mufeng continued with a solemn tone. “And the container. It was given to me by the expert as well. Don’t you think the whole journey was too easy for me? The truth is that it was all part of the expert’s plan! He had set these all up for me!”

“This is the true Chess Dao. This is the true Chess Dao!” the Chess Fanatic mumbled repetitively as he trembled. His face flushed red and his eyes started to glow.

Lin Mufeng sighed. “The expert knows everything, and he uses the world as his chess game. I’m merely a chess piece in his hand but I’m more than willing to be one!”

The Qingyang Elder seemed perplexed but he eventually scoffed. “Haha! What a joke! The bridge to Immortality had been broken thousands of years ago. Why would such a man exist in our Immortal Realm? You’re about to die and yet you still attempt to fool me with such a stupid lie! If he really knows everything, does he know that I’m about to kill you and snatch the Ice-Crystal away?”

Lin Mufeng sighed with a look of pity on his face. “Of course, the expert would’ve seen this coming. I was trying to help you but you insist on being stubborn. It seems that I’ll lose a fellow friend today.”

“Yeah, bring it on! I’m getting old anyway. Even if this expert does exist, I’ll have to offend him either way! Since one could only gain wealth from risk, I’ll just have to take that risk!” the Qingyang Elder cried out in a demented voice, exuding an extremely bright light all over him. The cyan light gathered in front of him and with a wave, they dashed toward Lin Mufeng!

Old Man Sun cried out in panic! He looked at Lin Mufeng, about to cry for help!

If he was as powerful as he claimed to be, why was he not fighting back? What use would come out of standing there without doing anything!?

Did he not see that they were under attack!?

The light traveled at a rapid speed and within an instant, the light was less than three feet away from them.

However, Lin Mufeng remained calm and unperturbed. He merely raised his palm. Instantly, it was as if the light was blocked by a shapeless force as it came to a halt right in front of Lin Mufeng’s face.

The wind started to blow wildly!

Winds blew from all directions, causing Old Man Sun’s beard to dance wildly as he staggered backward.

Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!

The wind was so strong that the sky almost seemed to change color!

Meanwhile, a swarm of Insights exuded from Lin Mufeng. Instantly, his figure expanded, almost like a pillar between the sky and ground.

“This…this is…” the Qingyang Elder’s face changed colors instantly. A look of terror that was never seen from him before flashed in his eyes. He asked, trembling, “Force…Force of God?”

“I thought the expert showed this to me without special intention. Now, it’s apparent that he saw this coming long ago and intentionally passed this onto me,” Lin Mufeng said solemnly. He was once again truly impressed by the expert’s set up!

“You…you…you…” the Qingyang Elder was trembling. He wanted to escape, but he realized that he was trapped by a powerful force. He felt as if he had no way of escaping from this.

Lin Mufeng raised his hands slowly. “Have you seen a palm falling from the sky?”

Vroom!

In the air, the Basics of Wisdom could be heard. Slowly, the clouds cracked open to reveal a gigantic palm. Instantly, the palm broke through the clouds, and just like a meteor, it fell toward the Qingyang Elder!

“No! No!” the Qingyang Elder whimpered as he looked up at the sky in despair.

He tried to resist in many ways but all manner of resistance was futile once the palm landed.

Scratch!

His clothes were torn open!

Instantly, the palm fell upon him.

Vroom!

The ground and the forest shook as if an earthquake had happened!

Once the smoke and dust cleared, one could see from above that there was an imprint of a gigantic palm left on the land. As for the Qingyang Elder, he had already disappeared without a trace, vanishing into thin air.

“Oh…Oh my god!” Old Man Sun was stunned. He looked at Lin Mufeng as if it was his first time meeting him. He stuttered, “This…this was passed on to you by the expert as well?”

“What rights do I have for the expert to pass this onto me? I was only lucky enough to catch a glimpse of his power!” Lin Mufeng said unperturbed as if he had done nothing impressive. He looked at the mark on the ground and sighed. “It’s a pity that my understanding is too shallow. I only caught a glimpse of the entire act.”

Only a glimpse of the entire act?

Only?

This was the Force of God!

Old Man Sun’s eyes reddened. His good friend had changed! After meeting the expert, he had become so arrogant!

But…he really wanted to meet the expert, too!

“My fellow friend, did you say that the chess move you made was appointed by the expert? Is that true?” the Chess Fanatic asked in anticipation as he looked at Lin Mufeng in admiration.

Lin Mufeng nodded. “Of course!”

The Chess Fanatic instantly made a low bow at Lin Mufeng. He then said sincerely, “I was too blessed to have witnessed the move and I shouldn’t ask for more. But knowing that such an expert exists in this world, I’d regret it for the rest of my life if I’m not able to meet him. May I ask if you could introduce him to me?”

“This…” Lin Mufeng frowned. He looked at the Chess Fanatic, then at Old Man Sun. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “You both have contributed to getting this refrigerator anyway. And since the expert likes to play chess, I’ll try to bring you both to visit him together.”

The Chess Fanatic and Old Man Sun jumped in delight!

Lin Mufeng said, “Let’s not waste any more time. Since we’ve secured the refrigerator, we must send it to the expert right away to show our sincerity! Let’s go!”

Instantly, the three of them turned into light and traveled to the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty. When a mountain came in sight, Lin Mufeng led them to the foot of the mountain. He said in a serious tone, “The expert lives on this mountain. We’ll go up by foot.”

“This is a must! This is the basic respect one must show to the expert!” Old Man Sun and the Chess Fanatic nodded in agreement.

Lin Mufeng continued, “You both have to remember that the reason the expert lives among ordinary men is that he wants to experience living as an ordinary man. His house is filled with treasures and opportunities all over but you have to control your reaction. Treat him as an ordinary man, or else he’ll be displeased.”

“Don’t worry. You’ve said this for the hundredth time during our way here!” Old Man Sun said.

Lin Mufeng repeated, “This is a taboo at his house, so I need to make sure!”

The Chess Fanatic’s eyes sparkled. He said, “I think I somewhat understand the expert’s attitude!”
