Chapter 858: Long Time No See



Lin Yun's trial of the human race on Earth took a little longer than expected, exhausting more than two hours before coming to an end.

At this moment, many high-level officials from the powers of the Immortal Origin World were kneeling before Lin Yun. During this time, more officials from the Immortal Origin World kept arriving, seemingly aware of the matters occurring in the lower realm, and started kneeling to apologize as soon as they arrived.

As time went on, fewer and fewer high-level cultivators from the Immortal Origin World came forward. Lin Yun glanced over them and, without waiting further, spoke indifferently, "Patrol Heaven Envoy We Lee!"

"Patrol Heaven Envoy We Lee, at your command!" We Lee had already been bowing to admit guilt, and upon hearing Lin Yun's voice, his body jolted and bent even deeper, as he braced himself to respond with vigor.

At the same time, a tinge of panic couldn't help but surge in We Lee's heart. Was Lin Yun calling him now to punish the high-level officials of the Immortal Origin World? As a Patrol Heaven Envoy, if the investigation were to be pursued, he couldn't escape responsibility either! He was also one of the high-level officials of the Immortal Origin World!

Before Lin Yun, the hearts of those kneeling high-level officials from various powers of the Immortal Origin World tightened as well. They knew that the matter had reached a crucial juncture.

"The Patrol Heaven Envoy has the duty to monitor affairs within the Immortal Origin World. Earth is the origin land of the Immortal Origin World, and the Taoists Ancestor once ordered it to be well protected. Due to the negligence of the Patrol Heaven Envoy, the spirits on Earth have suffered great losses.

Now I command you to thoroughly investigate the high-level officials from various powers in the lower realms. Any connected parties shall be punished according to the severity of their offenses. To atone through service, I hope you will carry out this task diligently," said Lin Yun slowly.

Only then did Lin Yun turn to look at Patrol Heaven Envoy We Lee, his eyes deep and spirited.

"Patrol Heaven Envoy We Lee, obeys!"

We Lee quickly deepened his bow once more, performing a salute with folded hands.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Lin Yun did not pursue his responsibility. As he spoke, We Lee was also pondering over what Lin Yun's standards were, which forces were involved in this matter, and how he should administer their punishments.

There is a saying that says it right, serving a lord is like living with a tiger. Lin Yun is now the Lord of Immortal Origin, the supreme being of the Immortal Origin World.

Just before, he had seen Lin Yun sentence many to death, including cultivators from the Immortal Origin World and humans from Earth, in a very decisive and efficient manner, without showing the slightest fluctuation in expression.

We Lee no longer dared to believe what some had said, that Lin Yun was young and weak, newly installed as the Lord of Immortal Origin, afraid to take action. His reverence for Lin Yun intensified, and he couldn't help but speculate on Lin Yun's thoughts.

He was very clear that the quality of some tasks did not depend on whether he had put in effort to accomplish them, but rather on whether he had put his heart into understanding the thoughts of those above him.

Only if his actions matched the intentions of those above would he be considered to have done well.

Lin Yun's decision not to punish these high-level officials from the Immortal Origin World on the spot certainly wasn't due to a lack of strength; perhaps he had other considerations.

Fortunately, Lin Yun did not make things too difficult for him and soon provided him with a code and a standard that made him feel more at ease. Thankfully, although Lin Yun had a very cold side, he was fairly good to his subordinates, not putting them in overly difficult positions.

In fact, upon careful consideration, whether Lin Yun punished the cultivators of the Immortal Origin World or the humans of Earth, was it not also a display of his compassionate side?

Otherwise, why would the deaths of some weak members of Earth's populace matter to Lin Yun, a Super Warrior of peerless strength?

We Lee had seen too much of such incidents in the Immortal Origin World and knew that in the universe, the fall of weak spirits was viewed by countless powerful beings as inconsequential as ants, unworthy of their advocacy.

Looking at it this way, as long as he carried out his tasks properly, he didn't need to worry too much about the possibility of Lin Yun, the Lord of Immortal Origin, treating them badly. In fact, serving under such a Lord of Immortal Origin provided even more reassurance.

Phew!

Lin Yun did not stay there long, and soon, he vanished from the spot with his entourage.

When they appeared again, Lin Yun and his group had already emerged on the top floor of Qingyun Building No. 1 in Immortal Origin County.

This place had once been the largest headquarters of Qingyun Company and was also where Lin Yun later spent most of his time.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Simultaneously, high-level officials of Qingyun Company from various places on Earth, who hadn't left with them, as well as those in good standing with them, were one by one teleported over.

"This is..."

"This is the Qingyun Building headquarters in Immortal Origin County?"

"Old Hu, Old Ma, you're here too..."

"Chairman Lin, Minister Zhao, General Manager Xia..."

Some people first turned their heads to look at the surroundings and the crowd, then looked up to see Lin Yun and his party approaching, and couldn't help but exclaim with joy.

Just moments ago, they were watching a video about Lin Yun and his companions, and they didn't expect to meet Lin Yun and his companions in the blink of an eye. Many of them were very far from Immortal Origin County just a short while ago, even thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers away, but in the twinkling of an eye, they had arrived here, which they found utterly magical.

However, they soon thought of Lin Yun's strength. He was someone who could annihilate even eighth- or ninth-level Cultivators with a single thought, and even the legendary eleventh- and twelfth-level Cultivators trembled in his presence, an existence whose words could spread across the entire Earth; thus, achieving something like this was not surprising.

Their hearts were filled with immense excitement.

They were all former high-level executives of Qingyun Company or people who had good relations with Lin Yun and his companions. They did not expect that Lin Yun, having become so powerful, still remembered them. Indeed, Lin Yun was still the affectionate person they once knew, and it was foreseeable that they would soon prosper.

"Everyone, long time no see!" At this time, Lin Yun smiled faintly and said.

"Chairman Lin, you're finally back!"

"General Manager Lin! Your return is truly wonderful!"

"Director Lin..."

"Brother Lin..."

Seeing Lin Yun greeting them, a group of people eagerly responded with excitement.

"More than a decade ago, Earth suffered an invasion by Cultivators from the Immortal Origin World, and I had no choice but to lead people away. Due to various reasons, you did not leave with us. Over these years, because of your past identities and so on, you've faced considerable trouble, and even some have passed away because of this.

I'm truly sorry..." After that, Lin Yun's mood turned somber as he slowly spoke.

The thinking of Super Warriors is extremely powerful, and with the collection of various super brains' information, as well as the details provided by some divine Cultivators left on Earth by the Holy Mother, he had already understood all sorts of details through the information on Earth.

This kind of comprehensive analysis of super data from various aspects hardly ever makes mistakes.

"General Manager Lin must not say such things..."

"This isn't General Manager Lin's affair!"

"It's not Director Lin's fault. Just as Director Lin said in the video just now, over the past decade or so, billions of humans on Earth have fallen due to the Cultivators from the Immortal Origin World. Even if we had no particular status, we wouldn't necessarily have fared any better. It's because of the circumstances at large!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Hearing Lin Yun's words, everyone's mood also became a bit heavy, but they quickly recovered and hurriedly offered consolation.

"Rest assured, from the moment you joined Qingyun Company, you became one of us. Over these years, any losses, grievances, and so on that you've suffered, I will make amends for all of them..." Lin Yun shook his head slightly, he said.

"However, before that, there are still some people who need to be dealt with..." After a pause, Lin Yun's tone shifted, and he slowly continued.

Of course, not all the high-level executives of Qingyun Company were as pure as crystal clear water. After some Cultivators from the Immortal Origin World learned of their identities and targeted them, there were also some high-level executives from Qingyun Company who betrayed the others.

Take for example, the incident involving Lin White; it occurred due to the encouragement of a Qingyun Company high-level executive, which led those few Cultivators from the Immortal Origin World to harbor malicious intentions.

"Hmm?"

"What?"

The group was first stunned, then some began to feel anxious. They were well aware of what they had done, and when they saw Lin Yun punishing those humans of Earth, they couldn't help but worry. Fortunately, Lin Yun had not mentioned their names until the very end.

Now, Lin Yun's words made them instinctively guess that Lin Yun was referring to their deeds.
