Unexpected Allies

2/27/2026

Seeing Quinn Lynn suddenly appear on this planet, Evan Yang was visibly surprised. The two of them were already facing each other from over ten meters away.

"Back from the Immortal Realm?" Evan Yang asked.

"I have to thank you for destroying the Lynn Family. The Alliance Leader had no choice but to bring me back," Quinn Lynn said with a smile.

"Why did they bring you back?" Evan Yang asked curiously. "Of course, to expose your misdeeds. But in the end, I couldn't out-argue your Yang Clan, which left me..." Quinn Lynn snorted, recalling the day the Lynn Immortal Sovereign crippled him.

"Yang Clan? Ended up with what? You look better than before," Evan Yang said, curious.

"Ended up with me being crippled. But after that, my body actually recovered and got stronger. I came here today to take you down," Quinn Lynn sneered.

"How did you know I was here?" Evan Yang wondered. He was not only curious about Quinn Lynn's sudden increase in strength, but even more curious how Quinn had found him, since he hadn't told anyone.

"That's thanks to the Sacred Oracles," Quinn Lynn replied with a smile.

Evan Yang thought of the Sacred Oracles and understood—only that place could have guessed his whereabouts. Since Quinn Lynn had come, Evan saw no need to dodge. Instead, he smiled and said, "You lost to me last time, and you still dare to come alone?"

"Last time was last time. This time, you're in for a rough ride," Quinn Lynn laughed. As he spoke, his aura surged, surpassing Evan's expectations.

"How is that possible?" Evan Yang couldn't believe how Quinn Lynn's strength had become so terrifying in such a short time.

"Scared, are you? I love seeing that look on your face," Quinn Lynn laughed loudly.

"Afraid? Hardly. You're not even at Immortal Sovereign level—why would I be afraid?" Evan Yang replied.

"Hmph, arrogant! Watch how I take you down today and avenge my Lynn Family!" Quinn Lynn shouted, then charged at Evan Yang to start their battle.

Evan Yang was shocked by Quinn Lynn's speed and strength. To buy time, he used his Meteor Flight Art to dart rapidly through the void. Seeing this, Quinn Lynn sneered, "Trying to run? Not a chance!"

Watching Evan Yang being chased, Quinn Lynn felt immensely satisfied and exhilarated.

Evan Yang was thinking about how to defeat Quinn Lynn. Quinn's strength had far surpassed Evan's own. Even dealing with a ninth-tier Emperor required transformation, which needed time to prepare—it wasn't something he could do instantly.

Evan decided to head to a crowded city with lots of buildings, using them for cover. After making up his mind, he landed on a relatively large planet and entered the city.

Quinn Lynn slowed down, startled by Evan's move into the city. With so many people around, a direct attack might hurt others and provoke the locals, playing right into Evan's plan. So Quinn held back his anger and chased Evan quickly through the city.

The city residents were curious about these two strangers. As Evan Yang rushed past a group of people, they were about to curse him when Quinn Lynn followed right behind.

This completely enraged the crowd, so they angrily rallied together to corner Evan Yang and Quinn Lynn.

Evan Yang had no idea what kind of city this was. He thought it was just an ordinary place, but once the crowd got angry, the city revealed a hidden formation. Breaking it would take time, so he was trapped inside—and so was Quinn Lynn. Eventually, the two ended up at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by many powerful cultivators.

"What is this place? So many strong cultivators?" Evan Yang couldn't believe he'd stumbled into such a location—why were there so many powerful people here?

"Who are you, causing trouble in our territory?" a burly man shouted.

Quinn Lynn realized something was off. He didn't want to fight these unrelated people and let Evan Yang escape, so he loudly said, "Everyone, I'm Quinn Lynn of the Lynn Family, one of the Heaven-Battling Clans. I have a personal feud with him—please let me settle it."

"Lynn Family of the Heaven-Battling Clans?" the burly man asked suspiciously.

"That's right, I hope everyone will give me a chance," Quinn Lynn said.

The crowd exchanged glances, then burst out laughing. Quinn Lynn sensed something was wrong—these people seemed even happier after hearing he was from the Lynn Family.

The burly man laughed and said, "Lynn Family, huh? Do you know what this place is? Do you know who we are?"

"What place?" Quinn Lynn asked oddly. On the other side, Evan Yang was surrounded by people and couldn't leave for now. He was also curious—why did these people seem so happy to hear 'Lynn Family,' instead of being afraid?

"Bandits, ever heard of us? But we're not ordinary bandits. See this?" The burly man rolled up his sleeve, revealing a vivid purple lion tattoo.

"Violet Lion Brotherhood!" Quinn Lynn exclaimed in shock.

"That's right, you do have sharp eyes. Then you should know our Violet Lion Brotherhood's status in the Immortal Realm," the burly man said with a cold smile.

"Your Violet Lion Brotherhood is the biggest bandit faction in the Immortal Realm—even the Immortal Realm Alliance can't wipe you out!" Quinn Lynn frowned, secretly alarmed. The Lynn Family had once joined the Immortal Realm Alliance against this brotherhood, but he never expected to run into their remnants today. Though the brotherhood was ordered destroyed, the fact it took such a massive effort proved their strength. Even their survivors are terrifying, and Quinn Lynn was starting to worry.

"Haha, bandit brotherhood! That's just a label you righteous types gave us. We've never actually stolen anything—we just couldn't stand the big sects and families, so we stepped in to help. But you so-called righteous people drove us apart. We thought we could finally live quietly, but now a Lynn Family member shows up, and your strength seems pretty decent." The burly man wasn't intimidated by Quinn Lynn's power—instead, he sneered.

"I don't have time to play with you today. You'd better move, or I'll show no mercy!" Quinn Lynn said angrily after thinking it over.

"Oh? Angry, are you?" The burly man laughed when he saw Quinn Lynn lose his temper.

"You! If you're real heroes, don't take advantage of the situation—let me deal with him first, then I'll face you all. How about it?" Quinn Lynn was afraid that if he got tangled up with these people, Evan Yang would escape, so he proposed.

The crowd listened to Quinn Lynn, glanced at Evan Yang, and finally the burly man sneered, "Taking advantage of the situation? That's something you righteous types do—we're just learning from you. And you, brother, don't be afraid! Since he's from the Lynn Family, we'll protect you."
