Chapter 1867 Resounding Cheers And Rising Resentment

High Elder Juxue's announcement sealed the deal for Lin Mu and confirmed him as the winner.
The uproar was so loud that it spread across the entire capital city an extended for another hundred kilometers beyond it. The news of Lin Mu's win was also spread to the rest of the Rust Sky World at the same time.
People used long distance communication jade slips as well as other methods to spread the news. The organizations that were in charge of keeping tabs on such kinds of information an intelligent also had their people here and quickly learned about it.
After all, the winner of the Tournament of the Four Guardian beasts was a big deal and nearly every power would want to try and recruit them.
There were only a few people that even knew Lin Mu had a master, as such he was an idea candidate for them to tempt and recruit. The elders of the clans as well as nobles were already wondering which of their daughters or granddaughters would be perfect for Lin Mu.
It wasn't them either, as many women and girls wished to court Lin Mu too. To them, he was none other than a golden bachelor.
Lin Mu stood on the platform and took in the reactions of all the people.
"So this is what it feels like…" Lin Mu had a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment at this time.
Even if he was tired from the fight, he was still feeling energetic due to the cheers of the people.
"Brother Mu Lin you did it!"
"Brother Mu Lin you won!!!"
Lin Mu's attention was pulled to his companions who were shouting from the seating area. They waved there hands and cheered him on further.
But the more cheers he got, the worse Feng Baxing felt. He was kneeling on one leg as his weakness was still there. He was quickly absorbing Immortal Qi from the air and ate an immortal Qi restoration pill as well.
'Damn you…' Feng Baxing looked at Lin Mu with bloodshot eyes.
Never had he been humiliated like this and the looks he was getting from the people were not good either. He could see his reputation falling with each pair of eyes that saw him and made him feel very unsettled.
Dark thoughts bloomed in his mind while his eyes looked around for the Elders and others that were present there.
Lin Mu's win was something that was expected by his companions but not by others. Even if they had seen his abilities and skills, it still seemed unlikely or him to prevail against the opponent who was the literal prince of the empire as well as had the full support of it while cultivating.
If they thought with the normal way of thinking, it did make sense to trust someone well known against someone that was new, even if they had shown promising results.
Of course, Lin Mu had proved his worth to several of the people who had thus bet on him and were now rejoicing.
"There it is… HE WON!" Far away in her private residence, Countess Xiurong jumped up in joy.
She was happy enough that she'd kiss Lin Mu if he was in front of her.
"Hahah! I knew the Countess would not be wrong." One of the aristocrats exclaimed.
"Sure, and who was the one who only joined in the last bet? You did." Another person mocked.
"That is called analyzing your chances of winning and betting at the right time." The first aristocrat retorted.
Countess Xiurong laughed and didn't mind their words. The joy of winning a great fortune was more than enough for her to let go a lot of things.
But their celebration abruptly came to a stop when one of the Aristocrats pointed at the formation screen.
"Heavens! The third prince!" The aristocrats shouted in shock.
Countess Xiurong looked at the scene and her eyes went wide.
A few second ago, Feng Baxing had finally made up his mind and decided to take a drastic step. Ha had restored some of his Immortal Qi and would be able to act a bit freely now.
He stood up and no longer kneeler, but his eyes were trained onto Lin Mu. Then without making a noise, he took out a circular jade talisman.
The talisman had the character for 'Feng' carved into it and looked rather profound. The people who knew about it would be stunned if they saw the Third Prince take it out.
"Mu Lin, DIE!" Feng Baxing raised the talisman to the sky and crushed it.
~CRACK~
The talisman released a blinding light upon being broken and an immense pressure descended upon the area. The formation arrays protecting the area creaked, while the formation masters stumbled from the impact.
Even High Elder Juxue was taken aback and took a moment to figure out just what had happened.
"What is he doing?" Lin Mu felt goosebumps on his entire body and felt a great danger.
He didn't know what talisman Feng Baxing had just crushed but knew that it was targeting him.
~BOOM~
The sky darked within a moment and an illusory figure appeared. The illusory figure was dressed in regal clothes and was nearly three hundred meters tall.
The figure became clear and the appearance of an imposing man was seen. The man was wearing a crown on his head and held a scepter in his hand.
"FENG BAXING YOU DARE TO ACT!" High Elder Juxue roared in anger seeing the sheer audacity of the prince. "Do you know the consequences of using the Imperial Might Talisman?!"
"NO MATTER WHAT, MU LIN SHALL DIE TODAY!" Feng Baxing was blinded by his anger though and did not care for anything else by now.
~GONG~
The giant illusory figure raised the scepter in his hand and slammed it down towards Lin Mu.
The very air churned as as the giant illusory scepter fell towards Lin Mu. His body felt like it was locked in place due to the pressure, and he was unable to move at all.
