After the text message was sent, there was still no reaction from the other side. The leader's face showed extreme fear, and his eyes trembled.
"I've already sent a message to my elder brother and mentioned your name, but there's still no response. I called him just now, but he kept rejecting my calls."
"I really didn't intend to hide anything, but my elder brother isn't answering. I can't possibly bring him here. Please, give me a chance. I'll go find my elder brother immediately. We can't run away anyway; the temple is here."
Although Ku Mu Dao Ren was kneeling on the ground, he suddenly reached out and slapped the leader. With his legendary realm of a land immortal, the leader had no power to resist and spat out blood, falling to the ground.
Seeing this, the others couldn't help but swallow hard. What kind of gods had they angered? Even such a powerful expert had knelt without hesitation in front of Lin Xiao Tian. What kind of divine beings had they provoked? Their hearts trembled, and they dared not look Ku Mu Dao Ren in the eye. They all lowered their heads, some even wishing they could bury their heads in the dirt.
Ku Mu Dao Ren was already furious, his eyes bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care what method you use. You'd better contact your elder brother immediately and tell him to get over here. Remember, you only have ten minutes. If he doesn't show up within these ten minutes, then even I will be punished."
"If I am punished, I will repay you a thousandfold, and you won't be able to withstand my wrath."
"And you certainly won't be able to withstand even a minor punishment from Mr. Lin. If you really want to die, then waste your time here."
The leader wanted to cry. He opened his mouth, but his teeth fell out. The intense pain made his entire face feel alien. He repeatedly dialed his phone, and finally, it was answered. An impatient, angry voice came through, "Are you blind? Didn't you see the message I sent you?"
Hearing this voice, the leader's tears truly fell. He hurriedly explained, "Elder brother, I didn't want to disturb you!"
"It's just that some situation has arisen. An old gentleman here claims to be Ku Mu Dao Ren and wants you to come see him. If you don't come, all of us might die here. He also said you can't run away from the temple. He told me this matter has already caused immense trouble, like poking a hole in the sky. Elder brother, please come quickly. If you don't, we will all die."
The voice on the other end of the phone fell silent. After a full ten seconds, the man's voice finally came through. "Are you sure you're not joking?"
"Do you know who Ku Mu Dao Ren is?"
"If there's any leak of information or any trouble from your end, I will make you suffer ten thousand times worse than you are now."
The leader shook his head like a rattle drum. He quickly repeated the information, confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Ku Mu Dao Ren. "Wait, I'm coming over immediately. It will take at most five minutes." After saying this, he hung up and rushed over at extreme speed.
The leader finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Ku Mu Dao Ren and said, "Master, our elder brother is coming as fast as he can. Please give us a little more time. Elder brother said he'll be here in about five minutes."
Neither Lin Xiao Tian nor Ku Mu Dao Ren were deaf. The voice from the phone certainly hadn't escaped their ears. Ku Mu Dao Ren had no intention of dealing with such a minor character. He looked at Lin Xiao Tian with trepidation.
"Mr. Lin, we've already summoned that fellow. He said he'll be here in about five minutes, which is within the ten-minute timeframe. Mr. Lin, could you give me another chance? Once that scoundrel arrives, I will immediately apprehend him." As he spoke, he inwardly cursed his elder brother. He had no idea what foolish thing that guy had done to deliberately target Lin Xiao Tian. He had already reported this matter to some management within Tian Luo Di Wang. Yet, this oversight had occurred. It was truly a mess. He felt miserable! Moreover, he didn't know if he could escape Lin Xiao Tian's punishment this time. If he couldn't, he probably wouldn't even know how he died. Dealing with him was as easy as flipping his hand for Lin Xiao Tian.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with anxiety, while Lin Xiao Tian sat quietly, smoking, giving no response. He wanted to teach these people a harsh lesson to make them remember, otherwise, who knew what would happen next time a similar incident occurred. Furthermore, one couldn't be too kind to these people; give them an inch, and they'd take a mile.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye for Lin Xiao Tian, but for the kneeling Ku Mu Dao Ren, it felt like an eternity. He kept hoping that scoundrel would arrive quickly. His only thought now was that once that scoundrel arrived, he would dismember him and grind his bones to dust.
The sound of hurried braking echoed outside the villa. Everyone's gaze immediately shifted, filled with anticipation, anger, and a hint of amusement in Lin Xiao Tian's eyes. He had finally arrived! At this moment, a man completely shrouded in a black robe strode into the villa. He was over 1.7 meters tall. As he entered, his gaze immediately swept over everyone present. When he saw Ku Mu Dao Ren, his body visibly trembled, and his eyes revealed extreme fear. He knew exactly who Ku Mu Dao Ren was, and yet Ku Mu Dao Ren was kneeling before him.
"You..." He only managed to utter one word before Ku Mu Dao Ren sharply turned his gaze towards him.
"Kneel!"
