The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1228: Chapter 71: Leader

Xu Mo similarly felt that oppressive force, and indeed, Lin Xu’s pressure was mainly directed at him.

However, at that moment, he felt another force enveloping his body. It was the energy aura released by Adela Palace Master, protecting him within.

“Although the Mystic God Temple has gained opportunities and established a cultivation holy land in the O’Brian Republic, if it becomes arrogant, its heritage that spans hundreds of years could be destroyed overnight,” Lin Xu spoke forcefully, threatening the Mystic God Temple.

The Lin Family has such confidence.

For the family that once controlled the Empire, the Lin Family possesses the strongest power in the universe, sweeping everything before it. To this day, the Lin Family remains the Emperor Star Lin Family. In their eyes, the Mystic God Temple is merely an upstart force.

Centuries of heritage gained some opportunities, but how could it compare with the Lin Family’s millennia of heritage?

Back in the Abyss, Lin Xu was extremely dissatisfied with the Mystic God Temple’s actions. Having once fought alongside the Abyss, now harboring Xu Mo had angered Lin Xu, hence his words were uncompromising.

His voice was cold and domineering to the extreme, and as he stepped forward, an even stronger spiritual storm enveloped the endless world, seemingly akin to the abilities of the Divine Domain level, suppressing all cultivators. Except for Adela, even top-level Skywalker figures in the Mystic God Temple felt suffocated and on the brink of collapse under this spiritual pressure.

In truth, if a massacre were to start, Skywalkers would be insignificant before Destroyer level beings.

The reason they are called ‘Destroyers’ is because their abilities can threaten the survival of planets, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth. If unleashed in battle, even a city might not withstand it.

“Gentlemen…”

At that moment, a voice emerged from the void. Although it seemed not loud, it clearly reached everyone’s ears.

Immediately, countless people looked up but did not see a figure.

Lin Xu and Arthur frowned, turning to look in a certain direction.

“This is the O’Brian Republic Capital Star.”

The voice sounded again. In the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky, standing there.

This figure seemed to appear out of thin air, as if it had always been there.

The moment they saw this figure, the hearts of countless people below were stirred with excitement and passion.

O’Brian Republic Leader, Osman O’Brien.

This is the O’Brian Republic Capital Star!

The citizens of the O’Brain Republic Capital Star hold great respect for the Mystic God Temple, treating it as a holy land. Countless people wish to enter the Mystic God Temple for cultivation; therefore, when an external top force threatens the Mystic God Temple, the citizens of the Capital Star naturally feel displeased.

But judging by the stance, the Church and the Lin Family definitely seemed stronger, and besides, there was only Adela Palace Master stationed at the Capital Star Ao Temple.

At this time, seeing their republic leader, Osman O’Brien appear, naturally filled them with excitement.

This area belongs to the O’Brian Republic.

If the republic fails to step in, they might be disappointed.

For many citizens, it was their first time having close contact with the legendary leader of the O’Brian Republic, who they usually could only see on screens.

The Church uses the opportunity of war to sway planets affected by war and develop followers.

However, on the Capital Star of the Republic, only a very few citizens support the Church because this is the center of the Republic.

Lin Xu and Arthur saw Osman O’Brien appear with tightly furrowed brows. Previously, Arthur was concerned about Osman O’Brien’s intervention, which is why he visited O’Brien Palace first. Plus, previously held ‘Holy Meeting’ also served as a threat. If the O’Brian Republic and the Church stood against them, they would support the Kales Empire instead.

Back then, where the scales of war would tip, the opposing side should have been evident.

But unexpectedly, Osman O’Brien, who at the time had not taken a stance, appeared here now.

In the vast universe, there are not many Destroyers, who are mainly concentrated among the top powers, and among them, the pinnacle existences are undoubtedly the leaders of these top forces.

Osman O’Brien, as a legendary figure who founded the O’Brian Republic, his strength is beyond doubt. Throughout the known universe, Osman O’Brien’s combat power surely ranks among the top figures.

At least, they are not capable of competing against him. To firmly defeat Osman O’Brien, it might require the personal involvement of the Lord of Lin and His Holiness the Pope.

“Leader Osman, I have already visited O’Brien Palace to have discussions with you earlier. What is your intention in coming here now?” Arthur looked at Osman O’Brien and spoke.

“The Mystic God Temple is the cultivation holy land of my O’Brian Republic. Over the years, it has nurtured countless geniuses and elite figures for the Republic. The cultivators of the Mystic God Temple are essentially citizens of my O’Brian Republic, including Xu Mo.”

Osman O’Brien responded, “It is somewhat inappropriate for you to exert pressure on the Mystic God Temple in the Capital Star of our O’Brian Republic, wanting to take the Cultivators of Mystic God Temple. Please leave.”

“The Church respects the O’Brien Republic and also respects the Republic Leader. However, the matter involving Xu Mo is extraordinary, and he must be taken away today. Are you sure you want to stop us, Osman Leader?” Arthur continued, still refusing to give up. Missing this chance might bring more forces in the future.

The events that happened today will surely be spread widely.

They need to prioritize discovering the secrets hidden within Xu Mo and find the clues related to Gaia.

“Mr. Arthur, the O’Brien Republic respects both the Church and the Pope, but the Church’s actions have crossed the line.” Osman O’Brien continued, “I will reiterate once more, please leave. If you wish to remain as guests on the Capital Star of the O’Brien Republic, you are more than welcome, but if you wish to display your power here, I advise against it.”

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to stiffen.

Someone of Osman O’Brien’s caliber, naturally, means what he says. Since he has spoken, there is no room for change; it is impossible to alter.

Arthur’s expression continuously changed, and Lin Xu’s expression was similarly somber. The aura around them was no longer as strong as before, with someone like Adela ahead and Osman O’Brien above.

If a fight were to break out, perhaps Osman O’Brien alone could deal with them.

Although they don’t believe Osman O’Brien truly dared to deal with them, if a fight did break out, it would ultimately be them who would suffer.

“Very well.” Arthur looked up at Osman O’Brien and spoke, “Since Osman Leader has decided, then so be it.”

Speaking this, he looked at Lin Xu and said, “Let’s go.”

Lin Xu glanced at Osman O’Brien, then at Xu Mo. On this visit, could they not even take down a Skywalker?

This Skywalker is protected not only by the Mystic God Temple but also by the Leader of the O’Brien Republic.

Or perhaps, Osman O’Brien has his own plans, seeking to uncover the secrets hidden within Xu Mo?

Lin Xu said nothing, and directly retreated.

The Emperor Star Lin Family in Emperor River has not interacted with the O’Brien Republic. The planets outside Emperor River are somewhat looked down upon by the Lin Family, but Osman founding the O’Brien Republic is indisputable in capability.

However, the road ahead is long. The peaceful era of the universe might be about to end, and he awaits the fate of the O’Brien Republic with anticipation.

Both men decisively boarded the starship and departed.

Osman O’Brien stepped forward, signifying that it was impossible for them to take anyone. Even if successful, they wouldn’t escape.

As both parties withdrew, cheers resounded from the crowd below, with strong admiration in their eyes towards their leader.

They had only heard of the deeds of this legendary figure, but after the Republic unified, he was rarely seen in action, even walking outside was rare.

Today marked their first sight of this Republic Leader’s charisma.

Osman O’Brien looked towards Adela and spoke, “Adela Palace Master, although the opposition has withdrawn, they may not give up easily. Xu Mo must be cautious in the future.”

“Understood.” Adela Palace Master nodded, “Thank you for stepping up, Leader.”

“This is the O’Brien Republic, it’s my own matter, the Palace Master needn’t thank me.” Osman O’Brien replied, “As long as I am here, I won’t allow anyone to cause trouble in the Mystic God Temple.”

He then looked at Xu Mo again and said, “Xu Mo, cultivate in peace at the Capital Star of the O’Brien Republic. Unless a select few personally arrive, no one can touch you.”

“Thank you, Leader.” Xu Mo looked up and thanked Osman O’Brien.

He had only met Osman O’Brien a few times, each giving him a different feeling. This O’Brien Republic Leader is remarkably talented, seemingly without interest in probing Xu Mo’s secrets, simply letting him be at ease.

Such confidence made Xu Mo reflective. If Heath O’Brien possessed even a tenth of his father’s charisma, it wouldn’t be like this…

Due to matters involving Heath O’Brien, Xu Mo remained vigilant towards Osman O’Brien. After all, he had killed the man’s child, yet Osman O’Brien’s display of poise earned Xu Mo’s admiration.

If Osman O’Brien was pretending, even if pretending to such a degree is a form of greatness.

“Vera, cultivate well in the Mystic God Temple and learn from Xu Mo and Anos.” Osman O’Brien urged his daughter Vera.

“Yes, father.” Vera O’Brien nodded.

Osman O’Brien said no more, his figure vanished from its place as if he had never appeared at all.
