Lin Qing's appearance startled everyone present, except for Old Hu, who remained calm and composed.
At this moment, an elderly man in a blue Zhongshan suit calmed down and gave Ye Qingcang a wink.
However, Ye Qingcang did not make any move. At this moment, not only Ye Qingcang, but also Zhuque and Xuanwu were unable to move their bodies.
Upon seeing this, the old man immediately looked at another old man holding a firearm, raised his eyebrows, and gestured for him to take action.
Upon seeing this, Commander Wang did not hesitate and drew his pistol, firing directly at Lin Qing.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!" More than a dozen bullets were fired in quick succession.
The crowd, who were eagerly waiting, were met with an unbelievable sight.
The dozen or so bullets stopped automatically in front of Lin Qing, as if time had stood still.
"Clang, clang, clang." Without Lin Qing's support, the bullets fell one by one to Lin Qing's feet.
Chapter 542 Swallowing the Sun (Fourth update, bonus chapter for Elder Miuz.)
(Thanks to Pureblood99 for the 50,000 reward, I'm totally stunned, I'll hurry up and finish writing!!!)
"This gift is rather unfriendly. Don't do this again next time. I don't like it," Lin Qing said calmly.
"As expected, you have some skill, but that's not enough. Ye Qingcang, why aren't you making a move?" the old man in the blue Zhongshan suit shouted angrily.
Seeing the three people who didn't move an inch, the old man angrily shouted, "Ye Qingcang? What are you doing?"
Ye Qingcang said helplessly, "Elder Ge, it's not that I don't want to move, but that we can't. This person is too terrifying, and his aura is so overwhelming that we can only do this."
"Alright, enough of that, Elder Hu. I think you've reached a pretty good conclusion by now," Lin Qing interrupted, then looked at Elder Hu.
“That’s right, we’ve already discussed it. We strongly agree with what you said about enabling all of China to cultivate and rise among the myriad races of the starry sky.”
"But this matter needs to be handled slowly. After all, if we allow the people to cultivate directly, it will cause social unrest, and then we will all be sinners."
As soon as Hu Lao said this, the dozen or so high-ranking officials present all nodded in agreement, and Ge Lao also completely lost his previous aggressive demeanor.
"Furthermore, we only have a vague understanding of your strength. You need to prove your strength, otherwise, even if you kill us today, we will not agree."
Old Ge is a man of integrity, which makes it seem as if Lin Qing is a great sinner.
“Old Ge is right, and we also know your identity. You are a wanted criminal who has been on the run across the country and has killed dozens of people.” Commander Wang’s words were astonishing.
Indeed, with Lin Qing's outstanding appearance, if Old Hu were to describe it casually and have it hand-drawn, a simple investigation would reveal what Chu Zhou had done.
“That’s true. As for the matter in Chuzhou, I think you all know better than anyone else. Tell me, should those people have been killed or not? Was I right or wrong?” Lin Qing said without room for argument.
They fell silent. Clearly, they agreed with Lin Qing. Otherwise, what if dozens of ordinary people had died?
This place has probably become a battlefield; otherwise, how could there be more than a dozen bigwigs from China calmly holding a meeting here?
"Let's leave those aside for now. Since you all want to see my strength, I won't say any more. I'll show you."
Lin Qing scanned the crowd present, and then summoned Hu Xiaoxue from his life space.
"This is..." Everyone was puzzled when they saw the woman who suddenly appeared. Even Chen Fan was confused and didn't know who this woman was.
As soon as Xiaoxue appeared, she saw Lin Qing and bowed, saying, "Greetings, young master. Where is this place?" Then she looked around in confusion.
Lin Qing didn't say anything, but pointed a finger at Xiaoxue's forehead and said, "That's how it is. Show them the 3D model."
Knowing the whole story, Xiaoxue nodded immediately. With a thought, a warship only ten centimeters long appeared in her hand: "This is the Little White, Young Master's exclusive vehicle."
"Xiao Jin, please introduce those three stars."
The constellation Centaurus, about 4.2 light-years from the Sun, is a triple star system consisting of Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri A, and Alpha Centauri B, which can be considered as three suns.
The former is only one-eighth the size of the sun, while 2a is 20 percent larger than the sun, and the latter 2b is only 90 percent the size of the sun.
Old Ge asked, "What is the connection between these three suns and what you just said?" Although he found Xiaoxue and the miniature warship somewhat strange, he knew that business was more important.
"Hehe, of course it's important. I've told you before that one who has attained the Dao can swallow the sun whole. Today I'll show you." Lin Qing said arrogantly.
"Hiss!" Everyone was startled upon hearing this, but most of them didn't believe it and thought he was just bragging.
"I know about this triple star system. It's the closest star system to our sun, but it's still four light-years away. It would take light four years to reach it. You..." Old Hu looked unconvinced.
"You'll soon find out whether it's true or not," Lin Qing said with a smile.
At this moment, Chen Fan was also impatient; he really wanted to know Lin Qing's true strength.
"Now I'll take you on a tour beyond Earth and broaden your horizons."
Lin Qing waved his hand, and a gentle force enveloped everyone. Then, with a thought, he led everyone away and disappeared from the spot.
"This is Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. How about that? You've never seen it so clearly before!"
Lin Qing, leading a large group of people, stood in space, gazing at Jupiter below, and said this.
"Ah, is this space???" Old Ge's body, which was originally standing, immediately went limp and he collapsed in the void.
The rest of the people were insignificant, and only a few could remain calm and composed, with Old Hu being one of them.
"It's truly amazing, Jupiter in space," Old Hu exclaimed.
"Then let's hurry up." Lin Qing was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, and then led them towards the Three Stars again.
A distance of more than four light-years is both very far and very near, because Lin Qing's Void Tear has been damaged, so he cannot teleport that far directly.
However, it was only a few more teleportations, because Lin Qing didn't dare to teleport too far to take care of Elder Hu and other ordinary people.
They teleported a total of nine times, each time pausing for a minute to give them a break, before finally arriving near the Triad Star.
"Xiaoxue, take out the Little White Ship and let them stay on it and watch. They're very uncomfortable in this void." Lin Qing could also see that they were all pale-faced, probably because they weren't used to it.
"Yes, young master." Xiaoxue threw the warship directly, and instantly, a small white ship, a thousand meters long, appeared in front of them.
"Little Jin, teleport!"
A golden beam of light enveloped everyone aboard the Little White Ship, and then the group of dozens of people all arrived at the ship's main control room.
Lin Qing stood alone in the void.
"Swallowing the sun whole, tsk tsk tsk, I wonder how many evolution points I'll get. If it's not bad, then after I complete the main quest, I'll be able to travel through space," Lin Qing laughed.
"Xiaoxue, have Xiaobai retreat further away, otherwise it will cause too much noise."
"It's Young Master!" Xiao Xue in the control room immediately called out, and Xiao Jin immediately controlled the spaceship to retreat to a safe distance.
"It's been so long since I transformed! Haha, I'm going to swallow the sun whole! I'm going to have a big feast today!"
A dazzling golden light began to emanate from Lin Qing's body. Just then, an uninvited guest appeared nearby.
Chapter 543 Flashy and Colorful (Fifth Update)
(Bonus chapter for the Sect Leader's Pure Bloodline 99!)
"Tsk tsk tsk, the bloodline within you is truly mouthwatering. This old Taoist is in for a treat today." A disheveled figure appeared in the distance.
Lin Qing's body flashed with golden light, and then transformed into a golden dragon hundreds of meters long. Its dense golden dragon scales gave it an unusual beauty.
Lin Qing slowly looked at the old man who had suddenly appeared, and immediately, anger rose involuntarily: "Drooling? You're lucky to have such a meal? Heh, it's been a long time since I've heard such words."
"A dragon? A real dragon? There's actually a real dragon in this abandoned star field?" The old man was immediately shocked.
"Hmm? Something's not right. Haha, it's just a dragon that hasn't even reached the Nascent Soul stage yet. Haha, it seems like today is the old man's lucky day." The old man's eyes lit up immediately.
Normally, Lin Qing never releases his aura, so the old man doesn't perceive any threat from him.
In addition, the old man himself was a dragon, and Lin Qing's bloodline only made him drool, without the slightest sense of suppression, so he was convinced that Lin Qing's cultivation level was definitely not below the Nascent Soul stage.
"I was just passing by when I sensed your presence, so I came to investigate. It was truly worth the trip!" Venerable Jiao exclaimed, marveling at his own profound good fortune.
"Looking for death? Perfect. I'll treat Elder Hu and the others to a dragon feast later, and also help them improve their cultivation."
He stared at the Flood Dragon Venerable and swallowed hard, remembering the Flood Dragon he had eaten in the East Sea when the Demon Child was born, and felt a little hungry.
The dragon's body emitted a hazy golden light, and its size began to grow rapidly, eventually stopping when it reached 15,000 feet.
"hold head high!"
Lin Qing opened its massive maw and roared to the sky, its roar like thunder, making the Flood Dragon Venerable dizzy.
"This Nascent Soul? So what? It's just a native true dragon from an abandoned star field. It probably doesn't even have a decent spell."
The Dragon Venerable took a step forward.
A terrifying aura, unimaginable to outsiders, suddenly exploded from his body.
The people on the Little White felt as if a thousand suns were shining simultaneously before their eyes. In the void, the crackling sound of countless chains breaking echoed.
A terrifying phantom emerged from behind the Jiao Venerable, transforming into a towering 15,000-foot-tall figure—the very shadow of a Jiao dragon.
The dragon was made entirely of gold, covered in scales, with two horns on its head gleaming coldly, and eyes like the sun. A wave of pressure, no less than that of a real dragon, swept down from the sky, attempting to crush Lin Qing.
"I am the Jiao Venerable under the Demon God Sect. My true form is an old Jiao that has cultivated for 30,000 years. I have nothing to be proud of in my life, but I have lived long enough to accumulate more magical power than my peers."
"In the past 30,000 years, if you think about it carefully, there have been at least seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators who died at my hands. You little dragon, do you think you can turn the world upside down?"
The Flood Dragon Venerable grinned, and the illusory Flood Dragon behind him opened its blood-red maw, emanating an incomparably foul and overwhelming aura.
"That's utterly absurd. Did you eat shit? It smells like poop."
Lin Qing turned its head away in disgust, and then swung its tail, causing the heavens and earth to collapse, the sun and moon to become chaotic, and the void to shatter. It was unstoppable and offered no resistance whatsoever.
The illusory dragon and the countless laws on its body were shattered by this tail, and space cracked into a huge black hole.
Just as the blow was about to hit the Jiao Venerable's body, Lin Qing suddenly paused and then withdrew 99% of his force, in order to prevent him from being smashed to pieces.
At that time, let alone the Dragon Feast, there probably wouldn't even be a shoddy feast.
"Ah, this is impossible! How could you be so strong?" The Dragon Venerable was utterly horrified as he watched this scene.
"Boom!" Upon seeing the giant tail coming at him, the Flood Dragon Venerable immediately erupted.
A terrifying golden light burst forth from all 48,000 acupoints around his body, turning his eyebrows and eyes gold, and his pupils shooting out golden rays that were over ten feet long.
He made a sweeping gesture with his hands, conjuring up endless laws, Dao patterns, and runes that appeared out of thin air, seemingly from ancient times and representing divine decrees.
