《Fantasy: I Can See The Secret Reports Of All Things》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Within a dilapidated house somewhere in the back mountains of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom¡¯s Saint Sword Sect, Lin Xuan opened his eyes. Then, he felt a sharp pain as if his body was about to split apart, causing his hair to stand on end and his entire body to spasm. He checked his surroundings and found himself in a dilapidated house with the wind blowing in all directions. There were a few wooden tables beside him and mottled murals on the wall. The decorations here were very ancient, and one couldn¡¯t tell which dynasty it was from. ¡°What¡­ what happened?¡± Lin Xuan felt extremely confused and shocked. He could actually¡­ see things clearly now! He remembered that when he was 10 years old, he was in an accident, causing him to lose his sight. From then on, he had lived in the endless darkness. However, Lin Xuan quickly understood. He¡­ actually transmigrated! The memories left in his brain told him that this was a fantasy world! There were tens of thousands of races with demonic beasts running rampant, bringing with them vengeful spirits that roamed the world. It was extremely dangerous, and there were even powerful beings who could gather their energy to form a sword, severing the dimension, and single-handedly sweep through an entire army! Lin Xuan was one of the core disciples of one of the three major sects of Tian Yan Kingdom, the Saint Sword Sect. His talent was outstanding and the precious bloodline flowing in his body was even rarer! Back then, Lin Xuan had joined the Saint Sword Sect as an ordinary person. At the time, he was just an ordinary outer sect disciple. After leaving the Humble Class, his achievements were even more dazzling. ¡°I¡¯m a genius?¡± Lin Xuan couldn¡¯t help but mock himself! Just half a year ago, just as his junior-apprentice sister Lin Xuerou was about to break through to the Profound Black Mirror, she was struck by heavenly tribulation, and her mortal body was nearly destroyed! Lin Xuerou was the daughter of the Grand Elder of the Saint Sword Sect. Lin Xuan and Lin Xuerou were childhood sweethearts. Lin Xuan had always treated him like his own sister! At that time, Lin Xuerou had perished. Lin Xuan had saved her by sacrificing his own bloodline to protect her! Lin Xuerou used this opportunity to become a Physical Establishing Sage. Her strength soared, and she broke through to the Stygian Realm! In the path of cultivation, one¡¯s perception was at the primary level of Qi Condensation. Once one reached the Stygian Realm, one could be called a Master. That was the peak expert of the entire Heavenly Flame Kingdom! On that day, another master-level expert from the Saint Sword Sect came to congratulate them from all directions! The sect master of the Saint Sword Sect announced on that day that Lin Xuerou had become the Saintess of this year¡¯s Saint Sword Sect. That was a position that was revered by countless people. However, Lin Xuan had lost his bloodline and had been unconscious for half a month. By the time he woke up, he realized that he had been expelled from the inner sect and had become an ordinary disciple of the Saint Sword Sect. To add insult to injury, his cultivation level had dropped from the late Qi Condensation Realm back to the middle Qi Condensation Realm! ¡°You promised me back then! As long as I save Lin Xuerou, you will use your Marrow Cleansing Pills to restore my entire bloodline!¡± ¡°But you lied to me and even expelled me from the inner sect!¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s expression became increasingly malevolent. From the looks of it, he had been completely abandoned by his sect! But what pained him even more was that his childhood sweetheart, Lin Xuerou, who was like a blood sister to him, had now ascended to the heavens in a single step, becoming the Saintess of the Skysword Sect. Yet she had turned around and treated him with such cold indifference! She only left behind a few sets of ordinary herbs and a few cold words before completely cutting off contact with him. Some time ago, he received news that shocked him. Lin Xuerou was already engaged to the Young Master of the Green Leaf Sect, which was also one of the Three Major Sects! From that day onward, countless people that had tried to curry favor with him before, including his senior brothers and junior brothers, had jumped out as if they were instructed by someone, and they swarmed forward to challenge him while his cultivation fell, and they used all sorts of reasons to punch and kick him! ¡°Hehe, these animals even cut off all my living expenses for the past two days!¡± ¡°You forced me to steal food from the front hall! You¡¯re just like a thief!¡± But just as Lin Xuan was about to succeed and was about to slip away¡­ Lin Xuerou¡¯s subordinate, Zhang Long, caught him on the spot. Just because of a small piece of steamed bun, Zhang Long got someone to beat him up. He, who was already weak and sickly, was bedridden and could not get up. Not long after, he died. Only then could he transmigrate to this world! ¡°How ridiculous! How pathetic!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been kind all my life. I was afraid of hurting ants when I swept the floor!¡± ¡°In the end, I was harmed to this extent by a vile person! After all, as a transmigrator, he could empathize with the pain of his original master. Thinking of this, Lin Xuan¡¯s expression darkened. If his memories hadn¡¯t gone wrong, then his current situation would be extremely dangerous; a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Strength was everything! Weakness, kindness; in the end, they would all be like fish meat, waiting to be slaughtered!!! ¡°Since I¡¯ve already transmigrated and become a cripple, do I have to wait for my death?¡± Lin Xuan tried his best to sit up. He could not just sit here and wait for his death! It was clear that he had already been abandoned by the Saint Sword Sect. Without the support of the sect¡¯s genius disciples, staying here would only lead to disaster! Clang! Just as he sat up, every single part of his body was screaming, and it was extremely painful. The intense pain caused Lin Xuan to fall off the bed and onto the ground. But at the same time, a turn had arrived! A beam of light appeared before him, forming a transparent status column! [Host (Lin Xuan): Male] [Level: Mid-stage of the Body Refining Realm (Incomplete Bloodline)] [Hidden information 1: Heaven¡¯s Chosen One with two bloodlines. Hidden with Supreme bloodline but undiscovered!] [Hidden Information 2: Top-notch bloodline damaged. Cultivating 10 cycles can activate the Supreme bloodline!] Looking at everything before him, Lin Xuan was flabbergasted. Was his system finally here? ¡°Supreme bloodline?!¡± ¡°This is impossible!¡± Lin Xuan sat on his bed with a look of disbelief on his face. This was the Supreme bloodline, the most powerful bloodline in the world! Legend had it that those with the Supreme bloodline gathered the destiny of the heavens and earth on their bodies. When they were born, they were accompanied by the phenomena of the heavens and earth. In the future, they would be able to enter the highest realm! This kind of person only existed in legends. Even in the ancestral Holy Land of the Dongyi Kingdom, the most outstanding of the younger generation and the chosen one only had the Saint-level bloodline. This was already completely incomparable to the Supreme bloodline! ¡°In that case, if I give up my bloodline to Lin Xuerou, it would be a blessing in disguise?¡± Lin Xuan laughed coldly. Very quickly, he returned his attention to the system interface. When he fell, he looked at her. That was why the system displayed his message. If that was the case¡­ He turned his head to look at his surroundings! As expected! Soon, one translucent system interface after another appeared before him like an online game interface! ¡­ Broken Wood Materials: Real Wood Hidden information: Nothing. It¡¯s just an ordinary wooden bed. Nothing special. ¡­ Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Iron window Materials: Advanced Dark Iron Hidden information: The wooden frame has been eaten by worms. It is estimated that it will fall off after 14 days. ¡­ Inferior herbs Materials: Gold-Silver Grass, Scarlet Flame Fruit, second-grade Blackrock Fruit Hidden information: Slow-acting poison. Consuming it over a long period of time will poison the body, causing it to continuously weaken. In serious cases, it can lead to death! ¡­ ¡°Ssss ~¡± When Lin Xuan¡¯s gaze stopped on the herbs and he saw the hidden information, he couldn¡¯t help but suck in a breath of cold air. Those herbs were brought over by Lin Xuerou. He never imagined that Lin Xuerou would actually poison the herbs! ¡°I see!¡± Lin Xuan was suddenly enlightened. He coldly said, ¡°Even if my bloodline is destroyed, I still have the cultivation of the Body Transformation realm! I wouldn¡¯t be so weak that I can¡¯t even fight back against an opponent of the same level!¡± ¡°During that period of time, I was repeatedly defeated and abused. It turned out that this herb was behind it!¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s anger reached its peak, but he laughed out loud. Since this system was able to detect the hidden information of any item, then he should leave this damned place as soon as possible and search for new opportunities! Since he was being persecuted and this world was filled with malice towards him, he had to transform into a demon king and kill all his enemies! Now! Lin Xuan no longer hesitated. He sat down and began to slowly revolve his strength, gathering the spiritual energy of the world! At this moment, he could actually begin to slowly cultivate like before! Breathing! Exhale! Repeating! One cycle! Two cycles! In the beginning, because Lin Xuan¡¯s bloodline had been destroyed, the heaven and earth essence that he had absorbed into his body could only linger for a brief moment before dissipating away! But now, Lin Xuan was relentlessly cultivating! A faint golden glow appeared around his body, constantly revolving around him. At this moment, Lin Xuan was like a golden Buddha, soaking in this golden glow. The Supreme bloodline hidden within his body was slowly awakening At this moment, right above his head, in the sky above the back mountain! The clouds in the sky rapidly dispersed to both sides, as if they were forcefully pulled apart by a pair of hands from the nine heavens! A ball of golden light lingered in the air, then transformed into strands of immortal qi that shot into the nine heavens! The rivers began to flow backward, causing the entire world to crack apart. A hundred miles away, the sea seemed to be boiling as several columns of water shot up into the skies. Their momentum was like a rainbow, as if there was no longer room for Lin Xuan, this great god! ¡°Oh my god¡­¡± Everyone in the entire Saint Emperor Kingdom was deeply shocked by this scene! ¡°Oh my god, could it be that a Sage has descended upon our country?¡± ¡°This soaring golden light¡­ Just whose aura is it?!¡± ¡°This is really¡­ unprecedented!¡± ¡­ In the afternoon. Lin Xuan, who had already completed 10 cycles of training, slowly opened his eyes. Clenching his fists, he could feel a massive power reverberating within his body. He was no longer the sickly youth he once was. Lin Xuan muttered, ¡°With my current strength, in terms of physical strength and speed, I should be able to instantly kill anyone at the Qi Condensation Realm¡­¡± Although he was only at the intermediate stage of the Body Refinement Realm now, if he were to fight with him at his peak half a year ago, he had absolute confidence that he could win. Right now, he only lacked some opportunities to maximize his new system and supreme talent! ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Just as he was about to leave the dilapidated house, he suddenly sensed a few auras approaching. ¡°What happened in the back mountain? Elder insisted that I come over to take a look. ¡°It¡¯s good to come over and take a look. Let¡¯s see if that cripple is dead or not. With such heavy injuries, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s already dead by now!¡± Even from this distance, Lin Xuan could clearly hear the other party¡¯s voice. The Supreme bloodline had allowed him to be reborn. His perception was no longer the same as before! The person who had come was Zhang Long, who had injured him to death previously! ¡°Zhang Long!¡± Thinking of him, Lin Xuan¡¯s expression turned malevolent. He was too familiar with this person! This Zhang Long had always been following behind Lin Xuerou. He was her lackey and boot-licker. He had relied on Lin Xuerou¡¯s guidance to successfully enter the inner sect as an inner sect disciple! Back then, Lin Xuan was also a core disciple of the inner court. He was also a famous genius within the entire Holy Sword Sect! At that time, Zhang Long could be said to have done everything he could to curry favor with Lin Xuan, even calling him his best brother and friend. As brothers, they shared blessings and went through thick and thin together. However, after Lin Xuan¡¯s bloodline collapsed and he turned into a useless piece of trash, the first person to jump out and mock Lin Xuan was him. The first person to be ordered to challenge Lin Xuan was Zhang Long! ¡°Senior Brother Lin Xuan, are you alright? The Elder asked me to come to see you!¡± Outside the courtyard, a group of Saint Sword Sect inner sect disciples led by Zhang Long pushed open the dilapidated door that seemed as if it would fall at any moment. Lin Xuan was sitting at the entrance of the main hall, dressed in green. His expression was relaxed, as if he had never been injured! ¡°How did this happen?¡± A look of surprise appeared on Zhang Long¡¯s face. When he had attacked Lin Xuan, he hadn¡¯t held back at all. Lin Xuan had been beaten to death. According to Zhang Long¡¯s estimations, Lin Xuan¡¯s injuries should have killed him within a week! He might still be alive? And he was safe and sound. What surprised Zhang Long even more was that Lin Xuan¡¯s expression was incomparably calm. He looked as if he had returned to the time when he was at his peak! ¡°Could it be that¡­ his injuries have already healed ¡°F*ck, this kid is really tough! Looks like I have to kill him on the spot this time! ¡°After all, as long as he is still alive, he will be a disaster to Miss Xue Rou!¡± Seeing that Lin Xuan wasn¡¯t speaking, Zhang Long took the initiative to take two steps forwards. He put on a helpless expression and said, ¡°Senior Brother Lin Xuan, our Saint Sword Sect has rules. Stealing is not allowed. Although we are fellow disciples of the same sect, we should still be punished¡­ I might have been a bit too heavy-handed that day, I hope you don¡¯t mind¡­¡± At this point, Lin Xuan finally opened his mouth to speak. However, upon seeing the man¡¯s calm smile, Lin Xuan shook his head and said, ¡°Of course, of course, why would I mind such a small matter? I even wanted to give you guys a present!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Zhang Long was still smiling like a tiger. However, Lin Xuan¡¯s next sentence made Zhang Long¡¯s smile freeze! Lin Xuan said indifferently, ¡°Let me send all of you to hell!¡± When Zhang Long heard this, his expression froze for a moment. Then, he let out a strange laugh and said, ¡°Aiyah¡­ Senior Brother Lin Xuan¡­ how should I put it? Do you know what it means to cause trouble with words? Attack! Kill him! You will be heavily rewarded!¡± Since he had already shed all pretense of cordiality, Zhang Long couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste any more words.. He had wanted to finish him off this time, so he gave the order to kill! Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen elite inner sect disciples rushed towards Lin Xuan with all sorts of weapons in their hands. Lin Xuan didn¡¯t even have the chance to stand up. With a light wave of his hand, Lin Xuan caught hold of the raging wind and condensed it into a wind blade! Swoosh! A beam of golden light shot out from Lin Xuan¡¯s hand. In an instant, the entire courtyard fell into a dead silence. Zhang Long realized that his subordinates were like wooden puppets, frozen in place! It was as though¡­ the gears of time had been jammed. Zhang Long was surprised at first, but he still shouted coldly, ¡°Attack! Kill him now!¡± But just as Zhang Long finished speaking, Zhang Long saw his subordinates standing in front of him. After a short pause, their bodies trembled, and their heads rolled onto the ground! Seven! Eight! More than ten! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Then, his subordinates fell one after another like dominoes! Dead silence, dead silence! At that moment, Zhang Long¡¯s pupils had shrunk. He was horrified! It was as though¡­ he was dreaming! ¡°This¡­ this is¡­ ¡°All dead??? ¡°Instant kill?¡± Zhang Long was dumbfounded! He was completely dumbfounded. The people under him were all at the Body Refinement Realm. So many of them were at the Body Refinement Realm! Even he couldn¡¯t instantly kill all of them, much less a cripple¡­ This¡­ How was this possible? It was only at this moment that Lin Xuan slowly stood up. Taking slow, leisurely steps, he slowly walked towards Zhang Long. Lin Xuan was dressed in azure robes, and his feet were like mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He was like a death god that had come to the mortal world to reap souls! Ta! Ta! Ta! Lin Xuan¡¯s every step was like thunder, exploding in Zhang Long¡¯s ears! Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly. ¡°Zhang Long, didn¡¯t you say that we were best friends? Is that what you said? ¡°You said that we should share our blessings and sufferings together? ¡°You wanted to kill me before! You wanted me to die without a burial ground! ¡°Even blood-related brothers have to settle accounts¡­ I¡¯m anxious to fulfill your wish!¡± The moment Lin Xuan finished speaking, he had arrived in front of Zhang Long. Zhang Long wasn¡¯t willing to give up so easily. He pulled out a large saber and slashed at Lin Xuan¡¯s neck! Whoosh!!! But as a gust of wind blew past, before Zhang Long¡¯s saber could reach Lin Xuan¡¯s body, he felt his right arm empty. Then, a sharp pain swept out from his severed arm, instantly coursing through his entire body! When he turned his head, Zhang Long discovered that his right arm had already been chopped off by Lin Xuan. And at some unknown time, his broadsword had also appeared in Lin Xuan¡¯s hands! ¡°No! No!!!¡± Zhang Long cried out tragically, filled with regret and despair. He now knew that he regretted his actions. He shouldn¡¯t have taken the lead to mock Lin Xuan. He shouldn¡¯t have taken the lead to abuse Lin Xuan. He shouldn¡¯t have done this. He had nearly beaten Lin Xuan to death. After his brain had short-circuited, he finally reacted, smashing his head against the ground with a loud bang! He began to beg for mercy! He used all his strength to kowtow non-stop! ¡°Senior Brother Lin Xuan! Spare me! Spare me! ¡°For the sake of our many years of friendship, don¡¯t kill me! Don¡¯t kill me! ¡°I promise you; I¡¯ll get out of the Holy Sword Sect immediately and never appear in your sight again! ¡°Don¡¯t kill me, don¡¯t kill me!!! ¡°Spare me, spare me¡­¡± This time, he could no longer raise his head. Rumble rumble rumble! His head left his body, and the last thing he saw was the greenish-black floor. The Saint Sword Sect. The main hall was grand and magnificent. At the end of the huge and wide hall, there was a woman. She was dressed in white and was as beautiful as a flower. She held a long white sword in her hand. Her aura was like a fairy from heaven. The bright lights in the hall elongated the woman¡¯s shadow. The girl held the sword in her hand and suddenly became interested. She waved the sword in the air a few times and unexpectedly caused the void on the other side of the hall to become restless. As the sword danced, the other Saint Sword Sect guards standing on both sides of the hall kept quiet out of fear. This was sword intent! ¡°Holy Maiden, your Sword Dao has already reached great success. Perhaps you are not far from the late stage of the Stygian Realm¡­¡± A female disciple beside the Holy Maiden could not help but sigh at her strength. That¡¯s right, that white-robed woman was the Saint Sword Sect¡¯s Holy Maiden, Lin Xuerou. She was also one of the most powerful prodigies in the entire Heavenly Flame Kingdom. ¡°How is my wedding?¡± Lin Xuerou asked slowly. The maidservant beside her replied happily, ¡°The Young Clan Head of the Green Leaf Sect has already sent out an invitation and set up a grand banquet to invite all the major clans of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom to prepare for the grand ceremony half a year later. Holy Maiden, you are a peerless genius. I think only the Young Clan Head of the Green Leaf Sect is worthy of you, Holy Maiden!¡± Lin Xuerou pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this. After a moment, she seemed to recall something and asked again, ¡°Have you heard anything about Lin Xuan recently?¡± The maid shook her head and said, ¡°No, that Lin Yan has long been expelled from the inner sect. It is said that he is recuperating in a remote corner of the outer sect¡­ Now that his bloodline has been destroyed, he needs Marrow Cleansing Pills to reforge his bloodline¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anymore.¡± Lin Xuerou waved her hand, not revealing any expression on her face. Her clear eyes had been looking at the sword in her hand from the start, as if she didn¡¯t care about Lin Xuan¡¯s matter at all. She only said indifferently, ¡°The Marrow Cleansing Pill is a sixth-grade Golden Pill, a peerless treasure. Our Saint Sword Sect only has one such pill, and it¡¯s reserved for when I break through to the Divine Sea Realm. Wouldn¡¯t it be a waste to use it on this person? ¡°Back then, I only said that I would give him a Marrow Cleansing Pill in order to make him happy. My father is the Chief Elder of the Saint Sword Sect, and I am also a Holy Maiden now. He is just a brat from a humble background. The Young Master of the Green Leaf Sect is the one who is fated to be with me. ¡°Just drive him out after a while. Don¡¯t let him stay in the Saint Sword Sect. If he has any objections, just kill him.¡± Lin Xuerou¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t loud, but she spoke with certainty. As soon as she finished speaking, even the guards in the main hall were surprised. No one had expected Lin Xuerou to be so cruel and heartless. Lin Xuan had saved Lin Xuerou, causing his own bloodline to be destroyed! Yet she was repaying Lin Xuan in such a manner! However, the current Lin Xuerou was already the sect¡¯s Holy Maiden, and she was the most dazzling star in the entire sect. She had stepped into the Stygian Realm at such a young age.. It could be said that even the elders in the Saint Sword Sect did not dare to offend her! Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Xuan was courting death by talking back to her at this time! ¡°Holy Maiden!!!¡± However, just as Lin Xuerou was feeling pleased with herself, a guard panicked and scrambled into the main hall! Their breathing was rapid, and their expressions were fearful, as if they had just seen a ghost. Lin Xuerou asked directly, ¡°What is it? Why are you so flustered?¡± The guard was so anxious that he couldn¡¯t even speak properly! ¡°Zhang¡­ Captain Zhang Long¡­ He¡¯s dead! ¡°All of his subordinates are dead! They were all beheaded! ¡°No survivors! ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten someone to bring the corpse back. It¡¯s right outside the lobby!¡± After hearing the guard¡¯s words, Lin Xuerou did not hesitate at all. She immediately stood up and strode out of the hall. At that moment, the square outside the hall was already filled with corpses. Beside them was a pile of skulls that formed a small mountain! Lin Xuerou recognized Zhang Long¡¯s head at a glance. The twisted, pained, and panicked expression before his death froze on his face, forming a mask of pain. His eyes seemed to be reflecting the shining saber! At that moment, everyone in the square gasped! After all, this scene was too terrifying! ¡°The body was found in Lin Xuan¡¯s courtyard,¡± the guard said. ¡°Then where¡¯s Lin Xuan?¡± ¡°Gone¡­¡± After a long while, Lin Xuerou finally spoke. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Regardless of the consequences, regardless of the price, we must find him!¡± ¡°At the same time, issue a Blood Slaughter Order! Post a bounty on Lin Xuan¡¯s head! As long as anyone can bring his head to me, I will reward him with the position of an Elder of the Saint Sword Sect! And a million spirit stones!¡± In truth, she didn¡¯t care about Zhang Long¡¯s life or death, but one had to see who the master was before beating a dog. If her dog died, she would lose face! And looking at the corpse, Zhang Long and the others had been instantly killed! Zhang Long was an inner court guard captain and had a Qi Condensation Realm cultivation. Even Lin Xuan, who had been at the Qi Condensation Realm, shouldn¡¯t have been able to kill him so easily. ¡°Senior Brother Lin Xuan, have you been acting with me this entire time?¡± In River City, after successfully escaping from the Saint Sword Sect, Lin Xuan headed down the mountain. He headed east, and after a few days of travel, he arrived at the Eastern Prefecture. River City was the first city he had arrived at. As Lin Xuan entered the city, he walked along the bustling streets, keeping an eye on the movements of the people around him. Although he had successfully escaped from the Saint Sword Sect, he still had to increase his strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the people from the Saint Sword Sect were to find him, he would be in danger! ¡­ [Su Ranran: Female] [Level: Perception Realm late stage.] [Hidden information: In a private meeting with the young master of the Li family three days later, she was exposed by a servant and was expelled from the family. She was exiled to a remote place and was attacked by demonic beasts on the way.] ¡­ [Broken box material: Pearwood Hidden Information: After opening it, there is a martial arts book that allows you to learn low-level martial arts. [Origin Fist]] ¡­ [Lin Qiang: Male] [Hidden information: in the middle stage of the Body Refinement Realm: Three days later, he will meet an old man in the pavilion in the middle of the Carp Lake and obtain a mid-level cultivation technique book.] ¡­ The hidden messages appeared before Lin Xuan like a lantern. However, most of the hidden messages were ¡°none¡±. After all, not everyone had such a thing as good fortune or luck. Perhaps it was just that fate had not yet arrived. Furthermore, most of the ordinary good fortune of these people could not enter Lin Xuan¡¯s discerning eyes. After all, Lin Xuan was once the disciple of the Saint Sword Sect. His standards were extremely high. Some of the low-grade martial arts and cultivation techniques were not worthy of his attention. Lin Xuan continued his journey east. As the skies darkened, it wasn¡¯t too long before dusk arrived. Lin Xuan was walking along a small road in the outskirts of the city. On his hand was a storage ring that he had taken from Zhang Long. He used his senses to search the contents of the ring to see if he could find anything useful. Finally, his gaze stopped on a tattered ancient book. ¡°There¡¯s a skill within?¡± Lin Xuan shook his ring and took out the incomplete ancient text. [High Grade 5 Technique: Thunder Blade Slash] [Hidden information: Through repeated practice, you can comprehend a higher level. You can quickly grasp it!] ¡°Thunder Blade Slash?¡± ¡°I feel like I¡¯ve heard it somewhere before. Isn¡¯t this the incomplete cultivation technique that the Sutra Pavilion lost a year ago? So it¡¯s with Zhang Long!¡± Cultivation techniques were divided into nine grades! The first to third grades were the lower grades, the fourth to sixth grades were the upper grades, and the seventh grade and above were the best! Currently, their Saint Sword Sect¡¯s top cultivation technique, the ¡°Reincarnation Sword Technique¡±, that their Sect Master cultivated was a medium sixth grade cultivation technique! Back then, the sect master used this cultivation technique to dominate the world and even killed three leaders of the same level. The Thunder Blade Slash was a cultivation technique that was second only to the Reincarnation Sword Technique! However, because this ancient book was old and tattered, it was incomplete, so the difficulty of cultivating it was extremely high. Back then, the Sect Master had taken it to cultivate with great interest. Even though he had been cultivating for a few months, he had only just reached the entry stage. After that, the Sect Master had thrown it into the Sutra Pavilion! Almost no one practiced this anymore. Because the ancient books were broken, it was extremely difficult to cultivate, and it was easy to suffer from qi deviation, so no one was willing to spend effort and suffer. ¡°To think that it would be Zhang Long who stole it from the Sutra Pavilion.¡± Lin Xuan chuckled. However, it was clear that Zhang Long didn¡¯t have the ability to master this skill. Otherwise, the one who would have died a few days ago would have been him and not Zhang Long. Right now, Lin Xuan was completely unable to resist this level 5 cultivation method! At this moment, Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes burned with passion! This was a level 5 high-level cultivation method! If he could master it, he should be able to challenge the Stygian Realm! Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes focused on the cultivation method manual, growing increasingly fervent! Soon, Lin Xuan was surprised to discover that just by looking at this cultivation method manual, all of the cultivation method knowledge began to rush into his mind like a tide! Now, in the depths of his mind, a figure appeared. This figure was illusory and distant, but at the same time, it seemed as if it were right in front of him. This person¡¯s entire body was transparent. From head to toe, from his meridians to his bones, to his blood vessels, even to his tiny cells, everything was clearly displayed before Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes! Every beat of his heart, every impulse of his nerves, every movement of his meridians were all seen by him! ¡°This is¡­ ¡°Could it be that as long as I see this cultivation technique manual, my body will automatically deduce the cultivation method of this cultivation technique?¡± Immediately after, Lin Xuan took out the large saber from his storage ring, the one he had snatched from Zhang Long! ¡°Alright, let us begin!¡± Lin Xuan took a few deep breaths, tightly gripping the large blade in his hands.. Following the method he had just observed, he began to cultivate! Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Xuan was alone in the outskirts of River City, brandishing the large saber in his hands again and again! Ten times! A hundred times! A thousand times? The bright moon hung high in the sky. After a few hours of continuously cultivating, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that the body of the large saber in his hand was already faintly surrounded by a circle of lightning and electricity. It was even beginning to emit crackling sounds of electricity. Thunder Saber Slash, he had already reached the entry level! It should be known that the sect master of the Saint Sword Sect had spent several months cultivating, but in the end, he was only at the entry level. After gaining confidence, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivating the technique, comprehending and comprehending it. After repeating a few cycles, he suddenly realized that it was already dusk three days later! Finally, after spending an entire three days, he finally mastered the powerful ¡°Thunder Blade Slash¡±! At this moment, the large saber in his hand was already surrounded by powerful lightning and sparks, and it emitted crackling sounds that were like firecrackers. However, Lin Xuan casually tested the saber and slashed it through the air! ¡°Crack!¡± Not far away, a huge rock cracked into two, and then it was blasted into powder by the brilliant tears and drifted away with the wind! Such might was sufficient to challenge a Stygian Realm expert! Lin Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, preparing to continue heading east. The Eastern Prefecture was extremely vast. Other than River City, there should be other places where Lin Xuan could find some useful opportunities. Lin Xuan continued on his way and arrived at the wide road outside the city. At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared outside the city and walked straight into the city. From the looks of it, these people just happened to pass by this road! ¡°That¡¯s actually someone from the Blood Moon Sect!!¡± ¡°It¡¯s really unlucky to meet them. We have to stay away from them!¡± Many people outside the River City saw the people from the Blood Moon Sect and walked around them one after another with frightened expressions. The Blood Moon Sect was the strongest sect in the entire Eastern Prefecture. But they were also the most bloody, terrifying, and dark sect! This sect treated human lives like grass. They once slaughtered cities for their own benefit, and this group of people seemed to be escorting some criminal! It was a young girl who looked like a teenager! She had a small figure and was covered in injuries! What was even more frightening was that her eyes, which should have had a pair of clear and bright pupils, had been dug out, leaving behind a pair of lifeless and empty black holes! ¡°So scary¡­¡± ¡°How did she become a prisoner of the Blood Moon Sect at such a young age?¡± ¡°Look¡­ Isn¡¯t that Blood Moon Sect¡¯s Little Junior Sister¡­ Black Sparrow?¡± Among the commoners in the surroundings of River City, someone quickly recognized the pitiable young woman whose eyeballs had been dug out¡ªBlack Sparrow! Everyone looked carefully and pointed out her identity! ¡°It¡¯s definitely her!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen her in the Blood Moon Sect before. She was a famous person in the Blood Moon Sect at that time! The Blood Moon Sect¡¯s Sect Master even personally accepted her as a disciple!¡± ¡°Then¡­ how did she end up like this?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but she¡¯s the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s ocular skill genius! She¡¯s outstanding in the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s ocular skill!¡­ But her eyes¡­ Who dug them out?¡± The discussion went on for a while. No one understood. The Black Sparrow was a popular person in the Blood Moon Sect, an eye technique genius! Then, what exactly happened to her? Right at this moment, the convoy finally came to a slow stop. A few Blood Moon Sect members left the convoy and looked like they wanted to go and buy something. On the way, they did not forget to look back at Black Sparrow who was inside the carriage! ¡°I said, Junior Sister Black Sparrow, you don¡¯t have to worry. Senior Sister instructed us that we must send you to the most desolate place at the edge of the Eastern Prefecture! ¡°Even the rocks in there eat people! ¡°With your current state, you should be able to give the beasts a good meal! ¡°But that¡¯s good too. You¡¯ll be free, right?¡± Faced with the cold words of her fellow disciples around her, Black Sparrow, who was in the prison carriage, had already given up all hope. She laughed self-deprecatingly. ¡°Eldest Senior Sister¡­ Que¡¯er has always treated you as my own sister! ¡°I remember when you were injured, Que¡¯er didn¡¯t hesitate to barge into the restricted area alone just to pick herbs for you! I caused myself to be covered in injuries, totaling 327 injuries! ¡°I have given you everything I¡¯ve learned from Master! ¡°Because you said that my cursed eyes were beautiful! ¡°I¡¯ve been abused since I was young. You¡¯re the only one who¡¯s willing to treat me well! ¡°Que¡¯er put your life above my own! ¡°Even when you fed me the medicine, I never thought that it was poison!!¡± Tears had long since stopped flowing from the girl¡¯s empty eyes, but her heart was crying and bleeding! That pain was the pain of being betrayed! Due to her eye-technique talent, her status in the sect had risen extremely quickly. However, she had never expected that her Senior Sister, whom she treated as family, would actually¡­ actually worry that the Black Sparrow would threaten her position as a personal disciple! Thus, she tricked her into drinking a bowl of poison after the Black Sparrow had been ambushed and was severely injured! Senior Sister had ¡°kindly¡± come to feed her the medicine. This had touched the Black Sparrow to the core, but¡­ she didn¡¯t expect that it was actually a bowl of poison! After she drank the poison, her eyes were immediately filled with intense pain as if they were on fire! Soon, she became blind. Then, her eyeballs started to wither and finally completely disappeared! After losing her eyes, she had lost almost all her value. The Blood Moon Sect Master could not bear to lose such a precious talent and had spent a lot of effort to treat her, but it was to no avail. The Blood Moon Sect had been cultivating the Black Sparrow with all its efforts for many years, but now that her eyes had disappeared, all their efforts were for naught! The Blood Moon Sect Master finally flew into a rage and completely gave up on Black Sparrow. But even so, she did not resent her senior sister. But¡­ what made her heart ache was that ever since she lost her eyes, her senior sister never came to see her again; not even once! Now¡­ She was going to exile her to the wilderness and make her wait for death! Listening to the ridicule and discussion in the surroundings, Black Sparrow suddenly felt relieved. She even revealed a smile. There was nothing more sorrowful than death in one¡¯s heart. Her heart had long died. Now, perhaps the death of her body was the true release! ¡°How pitiful!¡± Suddenly, Black Sparrow heard someone speaking into her ear! This voice was Lin Xuan¡¯s! [Black Sparrow: Female] [Level: Middle Stage of the Body Refinement Realm] [Hidden information 1: Born with the Eye of Blood Demon, the future Queen of Blood Eyes has the ability of a Great Emperor!] [Hidden Information 2: In three days, she will be exiled to the wilderness and will awaken the Eye of Blood Demon in despair and resentment!] [Hidden information 3: The Supreme Bloodline can activate the Eye of Blood Demon and gain its loyalty!] Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Under the surveillance of Lin Xuan¡¯s system, Lin Xuan was able to see through all of Black Sparrow¡¯s information. Not only that, but he could also feel her pain of being betrayed! ¡°Unfortunate birth, parents dead! ¡°You were originally a proud daughter of heaven, but your eyes were destroyed! ¡°Your dear Senior Sister wants to kill you and make you die without a grave! ¡°To think that you would be kicked out of your family and be consigned to eternal damnation!¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s voice echoed out. Black Sparrow¡¯s face was filled with panic. ¡°Who¡­ is speaking? ¡°How¡­ did you know all this?¡± Lin Xuan smiled coldly and said, ¡°Who I am is not important! What¡¯s important is that¡­ all traitors¡­ must die. All hypocrites¡­ must die! ¡°If they want to kill you¡­ you have to kill them first! Remember¡­ this world is not kind! It is not gentle! ¡°What you can do¡­ is to kill all those people who are scheming to kill you. Kill them all! Leave no one alive!¡± ¡°Believe me, and I will give you back your life!¡± Lin Xuan enunciated each word clearly. The girl was stunned. Her petite body trembled. ¡°Betrayers¡­ hypocrites¡­ kill them¡­¡± ¡°Kill them!¡± In an instant, endless despair and grief surged into her heart like a tidal wave! ¡°Who are you? The Blood Moon Sect is handling some matters, hurry up and scram!¡± The Blood Moon Sect began to chase away Lin Xuan, who was standing beside the convoy. Not only that, but Lin Xuan¡¯s head was held high, and he was extremely arrogant. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Let me demonstrate for you!¡± Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and stroked Black Sparrow¡¯s head. ¡°You guys. Why are you raising your heads so high? Are you going to let me chop off your necks so that it will be easier for me?¡± Lin Xuan then waved his hand! ¡°Ka la!¡± A blade appeared, accompanied by the sound of thunder and lightning! Following that, the heads of several Blood Moon Sect disciples beside him flew back with blood spraying out like rain. The entire scene exploded, and all the onlookers were scared silly by the bloody scene in front of them. All of their eyes focused on Lin Xuan. ¡°This¡­ This guy¡­ actually dared to kill people from the Blood Moon Sect? Is he tired of living???¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, he¡¯s simply courting death!¡± Everyone present judged that this young man was completely finished. Lin Xuan decisively made his move! Not only were the surrounding Blood Moon Sect members stunned, but even the surrounding River City citizens were left dumbfounded, their scalps tingling! ¡°This boy¡­ actually dared to attack the Blood Moon Sect and even killed people!¡± ¡°From his aura, he¡¯s just an ordinary martial artist in the Body Refinement Realm, right?¡± ¡°This person is definitely a lunatic! He must be a lunatic!!¡± At this moment, even the passers-by around them felt extremely terrified! In fact, most of the people in River City looked at Lin Xuan with an odd expression. Their expressions became more ferocious and furious! How could this fellow not know that killing people from the Blood Moon Sect would incite the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s anger! Blood Moon Sect¡¯s crazy revenge! It was even possible that¡­ the entire River City would be implicated by him! Just half a year ago, the Blood Moon Sect used an extremely bloody and terrifying mystic technique just to chase down an enemy! They killed everyone in a city and only spent one night! That city became a dead city. Not even a mouse survived! ¡°He¡­ doesn¡¯t even know what kind of people the Blood Moon Sect is. They are a bunch of deranged lunatics!¡± The passers-by who were originally watching the commotion trembled when they saw that the azure-clothed youth actually dared to kill them! The Blood Moon Sect was the strongest sect in the Eastern Prefecture! It had been around for a hundred years and it could be said that the Blood Moon Sect was the overlord of the Eastern Prefecture! ¡°Are you tired of living?!¡± At this time, Wang Kai, the captain of the guards responsible for this mission, had a ferocious expression on his face! Someone actually killed a member of the Blood Moon Sect in broad daylight?! This¡­ was simply courting death! Wang Kai was a proper Qi Condensation Realm cultivator! He was a top-notch expert in the Eastern Prefecture! His ¡°Void Shattering Fist¡± was unparalleled in the world and was famous throughout the Eastern Prefecture! People called him ¡°Broken Bone Wang Kai¡±! ¡°It¡¯s over now¡­ The person in charge of this mission is actually Broken Bone Wang Kai! He¡¯s the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s guard-chief!! This young man¡­ I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t even have a complete corpse!¡± ¡°Everyone who was killed by Wang Kai¡­ died without a complete corpse!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that this time, I hope that the Blood Moon Sect will not vent their anger on River City!¡± At this moment, the surrounding people around River City also looked more and more fearful! At that moment, Wang Kai grinned and walked over step by step. ¡°Brat¡­ looks like you¡¯re tired of living¡­¡± ¡°How dare you kill my Blood Moon Sect¡¯s disciples. According to our rules, my Blood Moon Sect will tear you into pieces and kill everyone in your family¡­ and your relatives and friends¡­!¡± ¡°Do you know why I got the nickname Broken Bone Wang Kai? Because those who died in my hands, without exception, had their bones crushed into powder! They died without a complete corpse!¡± Lin Xuan frowned. ¡°How annoying!¡± Huala! Wang Kai did not see any movements from Lin Xuan. All he did was pat the large saber on his waist, and a bolt of lightning shot out, arcing through the air. It was too fast! Wang Kai only felt a gust of wind blow past his neck! He was stunned for a moment, but Lin Xuan¡¯s attack didn¡¯t seem to cause him any harm! ¡°I thought you had some great ability! Since you came to die on your own accord, I¡¯ll let you know how terrifying my Blood Moon Sect is!¡± Just as he was about to make a move, a Blood Moon Sect disciple pointed at Wang Kai¡¯s neck with a frightened expression and said in a trembling voice, ¡°Captain, your neck!!!¡± ¡°What happened to my neck?¡± Wang Kai frowned and touched his neck. It was wet! And the liquid was¡­ blood red! Crack! Crack! ¡°How¡­ how is this possible?¡± Wang Kai¡¯s face contorted as he tried to lower his head to take a look. However, just as he was about to do so, his head fell off his neck! The crowd was in an uproar! ¡°He actually¡­ died?¡± ¡°Fast¡­ like the wind!¡± ¡°Did you see him attack?¡± Countless Blood Moon Sect disciples¡¯ eyes widened as they looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.. The famous Broken Bone Wang Kai¡­ was actually killed instantly? Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Do you understand now, young lady?¡± Lin Xuan looked at Black Sparrow, who was trapped in the cage. ¡°If you don¡¯t want others to hurt you, if you don¡¯t want others to lie to you, then you can only¡­ kill them! ¡°Only the dead¡­ will not hurt you! Only the dead¡­ will not deceive you!¡± ¡°Now¡­ let me teach you how to kill!¡± Lin Xuan did not hesitate at all. With a blood-red broadsword in his hand, he charged towards the remaining Blood Moon Sect disciples. He raised his hand slightly, and blood appeared on the necks of four to five Blood Moon Sect disciples in front of him! Rumble rumble rumble! Gulp! In the blink of an eye, the heads separated from their necks and rolled down. In the end, only one Blood Moon Sect disciple was left in charge of escorting them! His hands and feet were cold. Just like Zhang Long back then, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ don¡¯t kill me! It was Eldest Senior Sister¡¯s order¡­ She ordered us to exile Junior Sister Black Sparrow into the wilderness! ¡°When Junior Sister Black Sparrow was severely injured¡­ it was all arranged by Eldest Senior Sister! We were only following orders¡­ Don¡¯t kill me, spare my life!¡± Lin Xuan ignored him and walked to the front of the carriage, severing the shackles with a single slash. Black Sparrow regained her freedom and walked out barefoot! The smell of blood filled the air, and the smell of blood seemed to have ignited her! Lin Xuan¡¯s words echoed in her mind again and again. In the past, she had been so kind, so na?ve, even thinking that if she were kind, the world would treat her well. But now¡­ she had been deceived and hurt! She knew she was wrong! ¡°Big Brother, you are right. For some people, kindness is useless. In that case, we can only¡­ kill them!¡± Black Sparrow walked down the prison carriage step by step like a queen of darkness! She casually picked up a knife from the ground! This time, she did not hesitate! One knife, two halves! The last remaining escort cried out. ¡°Thank you, Big Brother. From now on, you are my big brother. ¡°Black Sparrow¡¯s life¡­ is in your hands!¡± Lin Xuan rubbed her head and said, ¡°Good girl!¡± Under the setting sun, Lin Xuan brought Black Sparrow away step by step, disappearing from River City¡¯s streets. Eastern Prefecture! About 50 kilometers away from River City. Within a mountain valley! Lin Xuan sat quietly on a boulder. In front of him were over a dozen storage rings! These storage rings were all obtained from those Blood Moon Sect beasts! ¡°Absorb! Condense!¡± Lin Xuan frantically refined the ¡°Energy Convergence Pills¡± that he had looted. His speed was extremely fast! These Energy Convergence Pills were commonly used by martial artists below the Stygian Realm. If one were to use spirit stones to exchange for these pills, then this pill would be worth several hundred spirit stones! As for this Eastern Prefecture, because it was located at the borders of the Kingdom of the Flame Empire, it was located in a very remote location. Sometimes, even if one had enough spirit stones, they might be unable to buy this sort of Energy Convergence Pills. He had spent nearly three days refining and absorbing these pills. In the blink of an eye, another morning arrived. Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes slowly opened. At this time, he clenched his fists, feeling a powerful strength surging within his body. This strength was familiar to him! ¡°I¡¯ve already reached the Qi Condensation Realm.¡± Lin Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction. At this moment, within the depths of Lin Xuan¡¯s dantian, a white energy was slowly rotating. The Qi Condensation Realm was already the last small realm before entering the Stygian Realm. ¡°This time, I¡¯ve consumed a total of over 600 Energy Convergence pills. If it were before, it would probably take me a year to refine so many Energy Convergence pills.¡± At this moment, even Lin Xuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh with emotion. ¡°This Supreme Bloodline is truly extraordinary¡­ However, this consumption is too great¡­¡± Before entering the Stygian Realm, he would need to consume an extremely large number of Energy Convergence pills. Now that he had already drained all the Energy Convergence pills he snatched, he had no choice but to make his next move. At this moment, a bonfire was burning not far away. The Black Sparrow was curled up and sleeping beside the bonfire. She looked even more petite! Moreover, there were a few pieces of roasted meat on the bonfire! ¡°Oh? Big Brother¡­ Should we set off?¡± This was the first time in half a year that she had not been beaten every day. It was also the first time that she could have a full meal! This was the first time she had stopped being abused by others. If not for Lin Xuan saving her, she would have long been buried in the wilderness, without even a corpse left. It was Lin Xuan¡­ who had given her a new life! ¡°Mm, that¡¯s right, it¡¯s time for us to leave. But before we leave, I have a gift for you!¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s words were as calm as ever! ¡°But¡­¡± Black Sparrow¡¯s voice trembled. ¡°Big Brother Lin Xuan¡­ as long as I can live¡­ I am already overjoyed! ¡°As long as Big Brother Lin Xuan isn¡¯t like them, torturing me is enough!¡± Hearing Black Sparrow¡¯s words, Lin Xuan shook his head. ¡°I want you to see the light again!¡± She was completely stunned. Her face was filled with disbelief. ¡°Let me¡­ see the light again?¡± She asked in a trembling voice, ¡°Although¡­ But¡­ but my eyes are gone!¡± Her eyes had once made her extremely proud. It could be said that ever since her eyes disappeared, her heart had died along with them! However, right at this moment, Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and stretched out a single finger. With a loud bang, Lin Xuan could see a golden-colored drop of blood coagulating on his finger, slowly changing its shape. The golden blood seemed to have fused together with everything in this world. It was just a single drop of blood! It was actually able to cause the entire valley within a radius of a few hundred miles to become tranquil and vibrant, as if time had completely stopped. Vegetation! Rivers! All living beings! All of them had stopped moving. This was the effect of Lin Xuan¡¯s Supreme Bloodline! ¡°I¡¯ll help you retrieve your lost eyeball!¡± A drop of supreme blood floated into the girl¡¯s original black and empty eye sockets! Crack! Crack! The most surprising thing was that the moment the supreme blood came into contact with the girl¡¯s body, it actually started to merge with her and completed it in an instant! Immediately after, drops of golden tears continuously dripped from Black Sparrow¡¯s eyes. Right at this moment, Black Sparrow was completely stunned. That was because a familiar feeling had appeared at the spot where her eyes should have been! She stretched out her hand to touch her eyes! ¡°My eyes¡­ actually healed?¡± This was simply unbelievable! Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Right now, Black Sparrow could clearly feel that the world in front of her was becoming brighter and brighter. After some time, she finally used all her strength to open her eyes! ¡°Shua!¡± Just as the Black Sparrow opened her eyes, two blood-red pillars of light suddenly burst forth from her eyes. They shot straight into the sky and illuminated the world! It was as if two bridges of light had been built from the mountains, directly reaching the country. Even the clouds in the sky had to make way for it! [Attention!] [Attention!] [Eye of Blood Demon is being activated!] [The new Queen of the Blood Eyes is about to be born!] At this moment, within Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes, the images of the Queen of Blood Eyes appeared one after another! ¡°Eye of Blood Demon! ¡°The first eye-technique of the Nine Worlds! ¡°Legend has it that the Queen of Blood Eyes can destroy the world with a single glance!¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s face was filled with pride. Was this the future Queen of Blood Eyes? To think that she would only be loyal to him! Black Sparrow¡¯s petite body trembled slightly. She had originally given up hope and accepted her fate. She thought that she would spend the rest of her life in eternal darkness. However, she did not expect that golden tears would flow down from her eyes. She was excited and grateful! ¡°Thank you, Master! ¡°Thank you, Master, for giving me new light!¡± She fell to her knees and kowtowed towards Lin Xuan. ¡°From now on, Brother Lin Xuan is my master!¡± Black Sparrow enunciated each word clearly. ¡°Those who dare insult my master shall be killed without mercy!¡± ¡°Anyone who dares to bully my master shall be killed without mercy!¡± Just as Black Sparrow was speaking with tears of gratitude, Lin Xuan¡¯s expression suddenly changed, becoming worried! He seemed to have heard a group of people rushing over from afar, and their speed was extremely fast! He lowered his head and listened. Indeed, there were people rushing towards him at full speed. With the Supreme Bloodline, his five senses had long surpassed that of ordinary people! Even though the other party was still quite a distance away from them, he could still hear their conversation clearly by concentrating and listening attentively! ¡°Quick, let¡¯s go! That little girl Black Sparrow is hiding in this valley!¡± ¡°This time, Senior Sister gave a death order. Capture Black Sparrow and execute her on the spot. At the same time, tear that brat who saved her into pieces!¡± It was the Blood Moon Sect! ¡°Someone is following us.¡± Lin Xuan could sense the approaching auras within the valley as he spoke slowly. Hearing Lin Xuan¡¯s words, Black Sparrow understood what Lin Xuan was trying to say, and her expression darkened. She knew who the other party was. The one chasing them had arrived! And indeed, in the next second, hundreds of figures jumped out from all around the valley! Without exception, all of these figures were dressed in Blood Moon Sect robes. Each one of them held a weapon in their hands, each and every one of them looking fierce and fierce! Seeing Lin Xuan, as well as Black Sparrow who was following him, the several disciples leading the group began to laugh with joy! ¡°Junior Sister Black Sparrow¡­ You really made us search so hard¡­¡± ¡°Why bother? Wouldn¡¯t everything be fine if you obediently stayed in the wilderness?¡­ Since you really don¡¯t plan on accepting your fate¡­ then don¡¯t blame us for being impolite!¡± At this moment, a Blood Moon Sect disciple discovered Lin Xuan who was not far away. He said furiously, ¡°Did you kill Wang Kai?! In order to kill you, our Blood Moon Sect has mobilized almost all our elite martial artists! ¡°Humph humph, after we kill you, we will skin you alive, fill you with straw, and hang you outside our Blood Moon Sect¡¯s main hall. This is to warn the world of the consequences of provoking our Blood Moon Sect!¡± At this moment, Black Sparrow, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke up! Her tone was filled with sorrow! She closed her eyes and shook her head helplessly. She muttered, ¡°As expected, in the end, you all¡­ still refuse to let me go?¡± Even now, she was still unwilling to believe that the Blood Moon Sect that she treated as her home was actually so heartless! ¡°Hahahahahahaha!!¡± The leader of the hunting team standing in front of Black Sparrow couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter upon hearing Black Sparrow¡¯s words! ¡°Black Sparrow, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself. Who asked you to be so talented to threaten our Senior Sister¡¯s position! ¡°Today, I¡¯ll be a good person and let you die a clear death. I¡¯ll tell you the truth! The reason Eldest Senior Sister treated you well back then was entirely because she wanted you to willingly transplant your eyes to her! ¡°However, after so many years of searching, Eldest Senior Sister still couldn¡¯t find a reliable method to transplant your eyes! And you became stronger and stronger. In order to get rid of future troubles, she blinded you!¡± ¡°At the end of the day¡­ you¡¯re just Eldest Senior Sister¡¯s pet!¡± At this point, the leader of the hunting team was clearly unwilling to speak any more nonsense. He directly waved his hand! ¡°Kill them.¡± At this moment! There was no expression on Black Sparrow¡¯s face. The words of the team leader had completely shattered the last bit of hope in Black Sparrow¡¯s heart! It turned out that the Eldest Senior Sister she admired and respected had never truly loved her! She was just a tool. She shook her head slowly! Suddenly, some Blood Moon Sect disciples who were standing opposite her felt something strange! The Black Sparrow standing in front of them seemed to be different from the kind and naive Black Sparrow from before ! Now, they actually felt a bone-chilling killing intent from her! In the next second, Black Sparrow¡¯s chilling voice echoed throughout the entire valley! ¡°I¡¯ve been cruelly abused by you people for so long! ¡°In the past year, I¡¯ve been waking up from nightmares every night! ¡°I even¡­ escaped from the Blood Moon Sect. I only wanted to live, but you guys still refused to let me go and let me live!¡± Black Sparrow laughed coldly; the coldness of which pierced through the bone. ¡°It seems like Master is right. To some people¡­ it¡¯s useless to say anything more! You can only¡­ kill without mercy!¡± The last few words were squeezed out from between her teeth. When she finished speaking, her scarlet eyes suddenly opened! Right now, she was like a bloodthirsty devil! A devil incarnate! ¡°No¡­ This is impossible! ¡°You¡­ aren¡¯t you blind?¡± The leader of the pursuing team was sweating profusely. His face was filled with fear, as if there were a demon standing in front of him! Swoosh! In the next second, Black Sparrow¡¯s petite body suddenly burst out with lightning speed, bringing with it a wave of scarlet air! Hundreds of Blood Moon Sect disciples could only see a blood-red afterimage rapidly passing through the crowd! Chapter 9 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Following that, blood-red marks appeared on the necks of every Blood Moon Sect disciple! They fell one after another! ¡°Ahhhh!¡± ¡°AHHHHHHH!!!!!!¡± A series of miserable cries rang out from the crowd, echoing in the empty valley. However, wherever Black Sparrow went, flesh and blood flew! Almost in the blink of an eye, all the Blood Moon Sect disciples who had come to chase and kill in the entire valley had been completely wiped out! At this moment, Black Sparrow¡¯s petite body was covered in blood! She was like a death god that had just crawled out of hell and reaped the lives of others! Black Sparrow slowly approached Lin Xuan and suddenly said, ¡°Master, Que¡¯er was wrong in the past! ¡°I used to think that as long as I treat this world kindly and treat others kindly, this world will treat me kindly! ¡°But now it seems¡­ I was completely wrong! ¡°Master, I want revenge! I want revenge on those who hurt me! ¡°I want to take revenge on those people who tried so hard to kill me! I want to kill all of them! Not a single one will be left alive! ¡°Que¡¯er wants to take back my dignity and make those who once mocked me¡­ pay the price!¡± Black Sparrow had already activated the Eye of Blood Demon. Although it was only at the elementary stage, it was more than enough to deal with her senior sister, who was at the perfected Qi Condensation Realm! Lin Xuan stepped forward and rubbed Black Sparrow¡¯s furry little head, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t cry, Master will bring you to take revenge. Come, let¡¯s go to Linluo City and let those people who hurt you¡­ pay the price they deserve!¡± Linluo City! By the banks of the Luo River, next to the Giant Forest, thus named Linluo City! The largest city in the Eastern Prefecture! The center of transportation, trade, economy, and politics in the entire Eastern Prefecture! Back in River City, Lin Xuan had already found out that, in just three days, there would be a grand meeting held in Linluo City. This time around, the four major sects would be gathered, and all the reputable sects around the area would be attending. At that time, the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s Sect Leader, guardians, and core disciples would attend the meeting. Black Sparrow¡¯s vicious Eldest Senior Sister would naturally attend as well. It was just nice to take revenge on her in front of the whole world! At the same time, Lin Xuan could also search for some new lucky chances in that meeting! Two days later, in the evening, on the winding road with the wind blowing in the west, a blue-clothed youth was walking on the road that led to Linluo City. On his waist hung a blood-red saber that emitted an ominous aura. Beside him, a little girl was quietly following him. These two people were Lin Xuan and Black Sparrow. After travelling for two days and two nights, the two of them had arrived at the boundary of Linluo City. At this time, they were only several tens of kilometers away from Linluo City. As they were hurrying along, a bloody smell assaulted their faces, and then the entire world was filled with it. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Xuan frowned. The two of them continued on their way. After walking for a few miles, they came across a desolate village. For some reason, Lin Xuan felt uneasy about this village. They walked straight towards the village in front. Before long, they were shocked to discover that the entire village was filled with collapsed houses, mountains of corpses, and seas of blood. Surrounding the corpses were scattered weapons! It was obvious that a terrifying bloody battle had just taken place here! Surprised, Black Sparrow asked, ¡°Did they encounter bandits?¡± Lin Xuan didn¡¯t say anything. He only looked around. Corpses were piled up one after another, making one frown as they looked at them. What was even more shocking was that all of these corpses had their hearts dug out without exception! The terrified expressions of the villagers before they died froze on their faces! These expressions were filled with despair! However, from the looks of the situation, these villagers should be powerless to fight back! Lin Xuan and Black Sparrow had searched the entire village, but they could not find even a single living person! Black Sparrow asked, ¡°Master, what should we do? They are all dead!¡± Lin Xuan thought for a moment, then said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the surrounding villages to take a look.¡± Lin Xuan and Black Sparrow then inspected the surrounding villages. To their surprise, they discovered that all of the villages were the same. All of the villagers had a large hole in their chests, and their hearts were taken away! ¡°It¡¯s probably a demonic beast!¡± Lin Xuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Although these villagers had met with misfortune, he wasn¡¯t a merciful Bodhisattva. If he had caught up, he might have helped them. But now that things had come to this, there was no need for him to continue investigating. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Black Sparrow. We still have to hurry.¡± After speaking, Lin Xuan decided to bring Black Sparrow away from this troublesome place. However, just as the two of them left the village, a few steps later, from a forest not too far away, an old man covered in blood ran out. As soon as the old man saw Lin Xuan, it was as if he had found the last straw to clutch at. He immediately rushed over! He shouted, ¡°Hold on, warrior in front!¡± Lin Xuan stopped and turned around to look at this strange old man. Panting heavily, the old man limped towards Lin Xuan, saying urgently, ¡°Warrior, I am from the Linluo City¡¯s Lord Residence. Could I trouble you to go to Linluo City and inform them that the Great Elder and Young Miss were attacked by demonic beasts on their way back? Tell them to come over and reinforce us immediately! Hurry!¡± The old man ran for a long distance and was a little out of breath after the long sentences. After a long while, he continued, ¡°My old bones can¡¯t run anymore. Young man, you¡¯re strong and fit. You must help my family¡¯s elder! As long as my family¡¯s Elder and Eldest Lady are saved, our Master¡¯s Estate will satisfy all your requests!¡± Lin Xuan asked, ¡°What demonic beasts did you encounter?¡± ¡°That¡¯s an early-stage Stygian Realm Heavenly Wolf! In order to deal with this beast, we¡¯ve already lost more than ten guards. We can¡¯t hold on much longer!¡± The old man¡¯s face was filled with fear, panic, and various other negative emotions! Just now, he had personally witnessed the Heavenly Wolf rip out a person¡¯s heart and eat it! It was bloody and hot! It was a ghastly sight! Lin Xuan thought for a moment. An early-stage Stygian Realm Demon was not difficult to deal with. It was a good opportunity for him to practice his saber techniques and practice for his revenge in the future. ¡°How about this? If you give me 3,000 Energy Convergence pills, I can follow you to save people now. I don¡¯t need to inform your residence about the trouble.¡± Spirit stones and the likes were not attractive to Lin Xuan. Right now, he needed a large amount of Energy Convergence pills to help him break through to the Stygian Realm. ¡°What did you say?!¡± Hearing Lin Xuan¡¯s words, the old man was stunned, unable to believe what he had just heard. This wasn¡¯t because Lin Xuan had asked for 3000 Energy Convergence pills, but because Lin Xuan was only at the Qi Condensation Realm.. How could Lin Xuan follow him to save someone? Chapter 10 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Although those in Qi Condensation Realm could be considered experts in the entire Eastern Region, the Heavenly Wolf had reached the Stygian Realm! ¡°Young man, human life is at stake. It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t joke around like this. As long as you go back and inform the city lord to bring reinforcements, I guarantee with my honor that not a single one of the 3,000 Energy Convergence pills will be missing, and I¡¯ll immediately hand them over!¡± Hearing his words, Lin Xuan frowned. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, then forget it. Black Sparrow, let¡¯s go.¡± As he spoke, he turned around to leave. ¡°Hey, young man!¡± The elder was running around in circles anxiously. He couldn¡¯t run anymore. In this desolate mountain, all the villagers in the surrounding villages had been killed by that bastard. Where was he to find a second messenger?! By the time he brought reinforcements, the corpses of Elder and Eldest Lady would probably be completely cold! He had no choice but to make a Hail Mary effort. He could only trust this young man! ¡°Wait a moment, young man. I believe in you. Follow me!¡± Lin Xuan turned around and said, ¡°Lead the way.¡± Thus, with the injured old man leading the way and Lin Xuan and Black Sparrow following behind, the three of them entered the forest! Deep within the forest, there was an open space! This was where they had encountered the Heavenly Wolf! At this moment, there were five or six people fighting intensely with the Heavenly Wolf. The Heavenly Wolf¡¯s shoulders were more than twenty feet tall, and its back was covered in gray fur. Its abdomen was snow-white, and there was only a circle of blue light around its neck that was as brilliant as the stars. This mark was rather beautiful, like the Milky Way! The Heavenly Wolf was so named because of this! ¡°Elder Ye Dan, did you bring reinforcements?¡± A girl around seventeen or eighteen years old was fighting with the Heavenly Wolf with a spear in her hand. This girl was Linluo City¡¯s Eldest Lady, Ye Anran! She was at the consummate level of the Body Refinement Realm and was only a step away from the Stygian Realm! ¡°Not bad, but he¡¯s only at the Body Refinement Realm. Too weak.¡± Lin Xuan shook his head. Beside Ye Anran was an old man. He was at the middle Qi Condensation Realm. That should be the Grand Elder. Ye Dan said, ¡°Warrior, please act quickly.¡± ¡°Let me take a look first.¡± Lin Xuan stared intently at the Heavenly Wolf, trying to read his thoughts. [Level Three Heavenly Wolf] Stygian Realm Middle Phase [Hidden information: Vicious and bloodthirsty. Forcefully broke through to the Stygian Realm. Unstable foundation. Old injury on the right abdomen. Has yet to recover.] Lin Xuan smiled. Since he had a weakness, it was much easier to deal with him! Just as Ye Dan was about to urge him, Lin Xuan suddenly rushed forward, taking three steps in the air at an extremely fast speed! He drew out his saber and slashed towards the Heavenly Wolf! ¡°Good moves!¡± the Ye Family¡¯s Grand Elder exclaimed. The Ye Family¡¯s Elder and Eldest Lady, as well as a group of Ye Family¡¯s guards, were currently battling the rank three Heavenly Wolf. They were already exhausted and were on the verge of losing control. But in the next instant, Lin Xuan finally made his move! Lin Xuan wielded a large saber in his hand and took a dozen steps in the air, speeding towards the Heavenly Wolf! Too fast! ¡°Howl!!!¡± Seeing Lin Xuan¡¯s attack, the Heavenly Wolf let out a long howl! This ferocious beast clearly did not expect that the humans opposite him could not defeat him and even invited helpers! At this moment, the massive body of the 3rd level Heavenly Wolf burst forth with a speed that left one dumbfounded. It first retreated backward, dodging a few steps. Then, its huge and sharp claws were like razor blades as it slashed towards Lin Xuan! Boom! Boom! Boom!!! Wherever the huge claws passed by, all the plants, rocks, and even steel weapons were instantly torn to shreds. In an instant, flesh and stone were sent flying! ¡°Be careful, Master!¡± Seeing how powerful the Heavenly Wolf¡¯s claws were, Black Sparrow spoke with concern. She didn¡¯t want to lose her last family member. ¡°Young Master, be careful!!¡± When Ye Anran saw this scene, she couldn¡¯t help worrying about the safety of the young man before her, and she immediately called out. Just from the power of the Heavenly Wolf¡¯s claws, Lin Xuan could tell that this attack was enough to defeat a middle-level Qi Condensation master! However, Lin Xuan¡¯s heart and expression were completely unaffected by this attack. Right now, he was no longer the same as before. With the augmentation of his Supreme Bloodline, the strength of his body had already far surpassed that of an ordinary person! He did not dodge at all and chose to fight the Heavenly Wolf head-on! ¡°Heavens¡­¡± The Great Elder of the Ye Family saw Lin Xuan¡¯s ferocity and broke out in cold sweat. A Qi Condensation Realm warrior had actually chosen to clash head-on with a demon beast of the Stygian Realm? He was practically suicidal! However, in the next moment, something happened that left everyone, including the Heavenly Wolf, flabbergasted! Lin Xuan brandished the large saber in his hands, bringing with it a brilliant flash of lightning. It was as fast as a gale, and as fast as lightning, as it struck the claws of the beast. Clang! Clang! As the blade and the Heavenly Wolf¡¯s claws collided, a sharp ear-piercing sound rang out. Everyone saw that Lin Xuan¡¯s body wasn¡¯t shaken in the slightest! He had directly withstood Heavenly Wolf¡¯s attack! His defense was as solid as a rock! ¡°Aowu!!!¡± At that moment, the Heavenly Wolf¡¯s eyes turned blood-red. It let out a loud roar. It was enraged! ¡°Now, it¡¯s my turn!¡± Lin Xuan didn¡¯t seem to care about his rage at all. In fact, he was grinning from ear to ear. Lin Xuan sheathed his saber, changed directions, and slashed out once more. This time, Lin Xuan took the initiative to attack. Not only that, but his speed was extremely fast, so fast that Lin Xuan¡¯s saber turned into a black blur. Lin Xuan¡¯s goal was clear; he was aiming for the right side of the Heavenly Wolf¡¯s stomach! Lin Xuan¡¯s strike landed squarely on the Heavenly Wolf¡¯s stomach. With Lin Xuan¡¯s attack, the Heavenly Wolf couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. It howled in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood! Lin Xuan¡¯s judgment was correct. Its right abdomen had been severely wounded, and it had yet to fully recover. This was its most fatal weakness. Even in death, the Heavenly Wolf still couldn¡¯t figure out why this human would know of its fatal weakness. ¡°My god¡­ This young hero defeated the beast!¡± ¡°Just this blade alone is enough for this young hero to be ranked in the top five of the entire Eastern Prefecture¡¯s junior generation¡­¡± The Grand Elder of the Ye Family was also shocked by this scene. Seeing that Lin Xuan had defeated Heavenly Wolf, the Ye Family¡¯s elders and guards standing at the side all had sinister expressions! That¡¯s right, it was this Heavenly Wolf that caused their residence to lose a few brothers. Following that, all the Ye Family members present swarmed up and slashed at the Heavenly Wolf. In just a moment, the Heavenly Wolf, who was at the Stygian Realm, howled in pain as the blades and the swords flashed.. In the end, it died! Chapter 11 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Thank you, Young Master.¡± After the Heavenly Wolf died, the Eldest Lady of the Ye Family, Ye Anran, walked over with lotus steps. She bowed towards Lin Xuan and thanked him. At the same time, a deep shock could be seen in Ye Anran¡¯s clear eyes! From what she could sense, Lin Xuan¡¯s cultivation base was only at the Qi Condensation Realm or so! However, she had never expected that even the Heavenly Wolf of the Stygian Realm would not be his match! She could not help but think, ¡°I know almost all the outstanding juniors in the entire Eastern Prefecture, so why is it that I have not heard of this person?¡± ¡°Just based on the skills that he just displayed, it¡¯s already comparable to the young talents of the Eastern Prefecture like Bai Hongling and Wang Kai! Could it be¡­ that he¡¯s a descendant from another region? Is he here to participate in this Four Regions Assembly?¡± Ye Anran pondered. Lin Xuan could only nod his head at her words. He then turned to Elder Ye Dan, who was standing not too far away, and asked, ¡°This old man promised to give me 3,000 Energy Convergence pills. Do you guys know how to keep your word?¡± Ye Anran smiled; her attitude was extremely respectful. Just a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator was enough for the Ye Family to treat him with respect, let alone a mysterious expert who could easily kill a Stygian Realm Heavenly Wolf. ¡°Of course, we will keep our word. It¡¯s just that we did not bring any with us. Please come to our humble abode. Our Ye Family will definitely treat our benefactor well!¡± Since Linluo City was the destination of his trip to begin with, Lin Xuan nodded his head and followed the Ye Family. That evening, the group arrived at the Ye Family. Lin Anran led Lin Xuan directly to the main hall. After entering the main hall, Ye Anran went straight to the point. Within the main hall, there was a middle-aged man sitting upright. Ethereal Enlightenment Realm Initial Phase. Lin Xuan checked on the man¡¯s cultivation base. This cultivation base was enough for him to become the City Lord. This man was the City Lord of Linluo City, Ye Zhentian. ¡°This is Young Hero Lin?¡± Seeing Lin Xuan, Ye Zhentian was surprised. He had never expected Lin Xuan to be such a young man! ¡°Where¡¯s my Energy Convergence pills?¡± Lin Xuan wasn¡¯t polite at all. ¡°I¡¯ve already prepared it.¡± Ye Zhentian hurriedly took out a ring and handed it over to Lin Xuan. ¡°3,000 Energy Convergence pills. All of them were refined from the capital city. They are not something that the commoners outside can compare with!¡± ¡°Young Hero, if you aren¡¯t in a hurry, you can stay at our humble abode for a few days. Tomorrow is the Four Regions Assembly. You can participate as a guest of my Ye Family. This Four Regions Assembly will be especially lively. I heard that the royal princess of the capital will also participate!¡± The next morning, within Linluo City¡¯s Ye Family¡¯s suite¡­ Lin Xuan didn¡¯t sleep for the entire night. He continued cultivating with the Energy Convergence pills until the early morning. ¡°Young Master Lin Xuan, are you awake?¡± Ye Anran was afraid that she would disturb Young Hero Lin¡¯s sweet dreams, so she gently knocked on the door. If one looked through the paper window, they would be able to faintly make out the beautiful figure of a woman. Only then did Lin Xuan, who had been meditating on his bed, slowly open his eyes. ¡°Hu¡­¡± He let out a sigh of relief, feeling his entire body brimming with energy! ¡°I¡¯m already at the middle level of the Qi Condensation Realm,¡± Lin Xuan mumbled to himself. After a night of crazy absorption of the Energy Convergence pills, his cultivation had finally reached a higher level. Right now, he was already ¡°not far from the Stygian Realm¡±. ¡°After I help Black Sparrow take revenge, I can look for opportunities in Linluo City. I hope they can help me break through to the Stygian Realm as soon as possible.¡± His cultivation level had already reached the Qi Condensation Realm. This was also the last realm for a martial artist. Although the Qi Condensation Realm could be considered an expert level in the entire Heavenly Flame Kingdom, it was still a very ordinary realm. As long as an ordinary living being persevered and cultivated, as long as they were not a hopeless loser, they would have a chance to reach the Qi Condensation Realm sooner or later. However, once they entered the Stygian Realm, they would become a master. They could even establish a new sect within the borders of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom. Even the current City Lord of Linluo City only had a cultivation base at the early stage of the Ethereal Enlightenment Realm. ¡°Hmph, today I¡¯m going to take a look at this proud son of heaven from the four great counties!¡± Lin Xuan said as he stood up, opened the door, and left the room. Ye Anran wore a long green dress today. Because she had been cultivating for many years, her temperament was completely different from those weak and beautiful young ladies. Instead, she looked valiant and had a special kind of beauty. ¡°The Four Regions Assembly is about to begin. Young Hero Lin, quickly follow me into the arena. The young lady who has been following you has already been waiting outside for a long time.¡± Lin Xuan politely said, ¡°Please lead the way.¡± The two of them quickly arrived at the courtyard of the Ye Family. The horses and carriages were already prepared. Once Lin Xuan arrived, everyone headed straight towards the central square of Linluo City. The Four Regions Assembly would be held there. Ye Anran and Lin Xuan rode on a carriage. Along the way, Ye Anran talked about the specifics of the Four Regions Assembly. ¡°This time, the Four Regions Assembly will gather all the reputable sects of the four counties. Everyone will gather together to meet with friends through martial arts.¡± ¡°There are a total of four big counties in the north, south, east, and west. One of the biggest sects from each county will be here. Although it can¡¯t be compared to the top three sects of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom and the current royal family, they can be considered as an overlord level existence in this region.¡± ¡°Although on the surface, it is a martial gathering, the four great sects would arrange for the younger generation to compete with each other every year, and they would secretly compete with each other. The sect that wins will become the head of the four great sects. It is precisely because the eldest senior sister of the Blood Moon Sect, Bai Hongling, passed all the trials and obtained victory in the previous Four Regions Assembly that this Four Regions Assembly is held by our Eastern Prefecture.¡± Just hearing the name ¡°Bai Hongling¡±, Black Sparrow, who was sitting beside Lin Xuan, trembled. This was Bai Hongling, the current Eldest Senior Sister of the Blood Moon Sect, the number one junior of the Blood Moon Sect! The next sect master of the Blood Moon Sect! It was her, Bai Hongling! It was this person. She was once regarded by Black Sparrow as her closest kin and treated as her biological sister! In the end, it was this person who caused Black Sparrow to lose both her eyes! It was her who almost caused Black Sparrow to die! It was simply because this person was afraid that Black Sparrow would snatch the position of the sect master¡¯s successor! The truth was that Black Sparrow had never even thought of this! ¡°Eldest Senior Sister, you must not have thought of that¡­ ¡°Que¡¯er¡­ is back again! The debt I owe you has long been repaid! The debt you owe me will be settled today!¡± Chapter 12 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the square of Linluo City, it was already bustling with noise and excitement. As far as the eye could see, it was packed with people and carriages, with tens of thousands of people filling up the streets. It was extremely lively. The commoners in the city surged towards the central square like a tide, and the continuous stream of people extended all the way to the end of the horizon. At the center of the plaza stood a tall platform. It was the battle arena. Seated around the platform were rows of seats. Surrounding the seats were circles of onlookers. Not far away, the rooftops were also filled with people. The representatives of the various large sects took their seats. Among them, the four great sects of the four counties were the most eye-catching. They were none other than the Blood Moon Sect of the Eastern Prefecture, the Seven Wounds Sect of the Southern Prefecture, the Myriad Puppets Sect of the Western Prefecture, and the Snow Lotus Palace of the Northern Prefecture! ¡°Everyone¡¯s here now, right?¡± ¡°The top sects of the four counties are all gathered here. Such a scene is very rare¡­¡± Lin Xuan, Black Sparrow, and the others passed through the crowd and entered the venue. Under Ye Anran¡¯s lead, they arrived at the location of the Ye Family. As the various large sects arrived, all of the chosen prides of heaven from the four counties also appeared. Their appearance naturally caused a wave of discussion. ¡°That¡¯s Snow Lotus Palace¡¯s Xue Ling¡¯er!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard that Snow Lotus Palace produces many beauties. Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation¡­ Xue Ling¡¯er¡¯s cultivation should have reached the late stages of the Qi Condensation Realm, right?¡± ¡°Tsk tsk¡­ how eye-catching. However, don¡¯t be bewitched by this woman¡¯s beautiful appearance. Rumor has it that this woman is vicious and merciless. Moreover, she specializes in a blood refinement technique that absorbs the blood of others to nourish her appearance. If it falls into her hands, it will definitely not be a good thing.¡± Listening to the discussions around them, Lin Xuan couldn¡¯t help but glance at Xue Ling¡¯er. At this moment, Xue Ling¡¯er also happened to see Lin Xuan¡¯s charming smile. It was truly devastatingly beautiful, causing Lin Xuan to rub his nose awkwardly. ¡°Hey, look at that lady in red. She must be the famous Eldest Senior Sister of the Blood Moon Sect, Bai Hongling. She¡¯s at the perfected Ethereal Enlightenment Realm. I heard that she once killed a Stygian Realm Master with a Blood Moon Blood Condensing Spear and left unharmed.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s have the Myriad Puppets Sect¡¯s young sect master, Gui Yuan. It looks like there really is a netherworld¡­ This person has a corpse puppet as his companion all year round¡­¡± ¡°The Seven Wounds¡ª¡± ¡°Look, it¡¯s¡­ the imperial family!¡± Everyone¡¯s gaze turned towards the east side of the venue. A group of people was slowly walking over from that side. However, they saw that this group of people were all dressed in golden robes. They were indeed mighty and extraordinary! When they saw the arrival of the imperial family, the four great sects hurriedly retreated with subservient and respectful expressions! The leading member of the imperial family was a golden-robed woman. She wore jet black hair and had a dignified appearance, and her golden robe accentuated her luxurious aura. ¡°That would be the princess!¡± ¡°Why would she come to our Eastern Prefecture?¡± The arrival of the princess brought the entire scene to a small climax. ¡°It¡¯s really¡­ Her Royal Highness!¡± ¡°But¡­ why did Her Highness come to our Eastern Prefecture?¡± The appearance of Dongfang Yue caused the originally lively scene to reach a small climax. ¡°Greetings, Princess!¡± ¡°Greetings, Your Highness!¡± Everyone bowed. At this moment, in the public square, countless families and sects no longer dared to sit down. They stood up and saluted Lin Xuan and the rest of the Ye Family members. All of them stood up and bowed respectfully towards the royal princess and her entourage. ¡°Linluo City¡¯s City Lord¡­ Ye Zhentian¡­ and all of the Ye Family members¡­ pay their respects to Your Highness!¡± One must know that this so-called Eastern Prefecture was only a small county on the eastern border of the Saint Emperor Kingdom. To be able to meet the princess of the Empire, it could be said to be the fortune of three lifetimes! ¡°There¡¯s naturally no need for Uncle Ye to be so polite.¡± Dongfang Yue nodded when she saw Ye Zhentian. She smiled and said, ¡°I heard that you frequently accompanied Father to hunt when you were young.¡± Hearing Dongfang Yue¡¯s words, Ye Zhentian was also extremely touched! He hurriedly expressed his gratitude and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Your Majesty to still remember me. I am truly flattered!¡± After the two of them exchanged a few pleasantries, Dongfang Yue arrived at the seat prepared for her under the protection of a group of imperial guards. There, the heads and elders of the four great sects respectfully welcomed her! Lin Xuan, who was sitting in the back row, looked at Dongfang Yue and muttered to himself, ¡°As expected of the royal family¡¯s bloodline, it is indeed extraordinary! Right now, the most powerful junior in the entire Heavenly Flame Empire, with the young master of the Green Leaf Sect as the best, is only at the mid-stage of the Stygian Realm. However, this princess is much younger than him. Her future is truly limitless and unfathomable!¡± Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn¡¯t help but smile smugly. ¡°With my current cultivation speed, I should be able to step into the Stygian Realm in less than a month¡¯s time. Breaking Dongfang Yue¡¯s record shouldn¡¯t be too difficult.¡± Just as Lin Xuan was feeling pleased with himself, on the arena stage in the center of the square, those chosen by the four great sects had all appeared. Since the Blood Moon Sect won the championship in the last Assembly, the Blood Moon Sect would be presiding this Assembly. After Bai Yanzhou, the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s sect master, made a long speech that made people sleepy, he finally announced, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk too much. Let¡¯s start as soon as possible!¡± ¡°The rules of this Assembly are still the same. The defending champion, Bai Hongling, will go on stage to defend the arena. The other clans will send out challengers to challenge her. If anyone succeeds in the challenge and defends the arena until the end of the competition, then he will be the winner of this year¡¯s martial arts competition. At the same time, the sect that he belongs to will also become the head of the sects of the four counties!¡± Bai Yanzhou was dressed in a white robe and was considered quite handsome. Although he looked fair and clean, it was difficult to conceal the malevolent aura that was produced from his years of cultivating heretical practices. He gave off an uncomfortable feeling. At this moment, he stood on the platform, looking pleased with himself. His tone was also proud. After all, he was quite confident in his personal disciple Bai Hongling. He had no doubt that she would be able to successfully defend the arena. Furthermore, even the princess of the Heavenly Flame Empire had come to watch this match. He and his Blood Moon Sect had to do their best to make a good impression on the princess. At this time, the one standing on the fighting arena and waiting for the challenger was their Blood Moon Sect¡¯s eldest senior sister and the absolute winner of the previous martial arts competition, Bai Hongling! The match officially began. The challengers below the stage were allowed to go on stage to challenge. The people below the stage looked at each other. Bai Hongling on stage was the Blood Moon Sect Master¡¯s chief personal disciple. She was at the perfected Qi Condensation Realm. Other than the junior experts of the other three sects, no one dared to challenge her.. Chapter 13 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Haha, since no one dares to go on stage, then let me start! Big Sister Hong Ling, let me see how much your cultivation technique has improved!¡± Just as the entire arena was silent, and no one dared to step onto the arena to challenge her, the head disciple of the Southern Prefecture¡¯s Seven Wounds Sect, Zhao Xiao, suddenly held a four-foot-long sword in his hand as he leaped up into the sky, and he took a few steps to leap onto the arena before directly charging towards the defending Bai Hongling! Zhao Xiao sounded furious. He was the first to challenge Bai Hongling at the previous martial arts conference, but he had lost after only three rounds! This time, he bitterly cultivated for a year, all for the sake of redeeming himself in this martial arts competition! ¡°Wuji Sword!¡± Zhao Xiao roared as he slashed his sword through the air. It was more than a hundred meters long and turned into a crimson sword light that pierced towards Bai Hongling¡¯s face. ¡°What a powerful sword aura!¡± ¡°As expected of the head disciple of the Seven Wounds Sect, he is indeed extraordinary! With just this sword, he can stand at the peak of the four regions!¡± Everyone gasped in amazement when they saw Zhao Xiao make his move. However, Bai Hongling smiled and made her move in the next second! A cold glint flashed before her spear shot out like a dragon! Bai Hongling turned the white spear in her hand and stabbed it through the air. Instantly, a sharp light that was hundreds of feet long tore through the air. Zhao Xiao¡¯s sword aura was like paper in the face of such an imposing attack. It was instantly pierced through and shattered! Seeing this, Zhao Xiao cried out bitterly, ¡°Not good!¡± He turned around to flee, but how could a human run faster than a martial art skill? Zhao Xiao had just turned around when the attack directly hit his lower back. With a scream, he rolled a few times in the air and fell out of the arena! ¡°Bai Hongling wins!¡± the referee announced. Bai Hongling stood proudly on the stage, looking down at Zhao Xiao. ¡°You want to challenge me? Trash! Go train for another decade or so!¡± ¡°You!!!¡± Although Zhao Xiao was unwilling, he had nothing to say. Even the sect masters and elders of the Seven Wounds Sect had ugly expressions! After that, the martial arts conference continued. More and more prodigies went up to challenge the contestants. However, even though this was a tag-team competition, Bai Hongling remained as steady as Mount Tai. Bai Hongling was extremely domineering. She stood on the stage with her spear in her hand, looking extremely pleased with herself! At this moment, Bai Hongling¡¯s almond-shaped eyes swept across the young disciples from the other sects as she asked, ¡°Who else wants to challenge me?¡± The surroundings were deathly silent, and no one dared to stand out any longer! ¡°Sigh, there¡¯s no need to watch anymore. This year¡¯s champion is still the Blood Moon Sect¡­¡± ¡°This Bai Hongling is too powerful¡­ She¡¯s practically invincible¡­ She¡¯s only one step away from becoming a Stygian Realm master, right?¡± ¡°This Blood Moon Sect has always been ruthless¡­ When Bai Hongling breaks through to the Stygian Realm, the other sects will probably suffer¡­¡± ¡°At that time¡­ the Blood Moon Sect will be the only one left in the four regions!¡± As the discussions of the surrounding people gradually rose, Blood Moon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Bai Yanzhou also smiled proudly and said, ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to challenge her? Is there anyone else?¡± He looked around at the various large sects below and continued, ¡°It seems like there¡¯s no one else. Since no one is challenging, then I announce that the winner of this martial arts conference is¡­¡± ¡°Wait a minute! I want to challenge Bai Hongling!¡± Just as Bai Yanzhou was proudly announcing that his sect was the victor again, a young but firm voice interrupted his speech! Who was speaking? There was a rare silence in the entire venue. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. Finally, their eyes landed on the Ye Family! ¡°Ye Family? They are also a sect in the Eastern Prefecture. Why did they challenge the Blood Moon Sect? Is there an internal conflict in the Eastern Prefecture?¡± ¡°The Ye Family is just a small family clan. Who is so bold as to challenge Bai Hongling? So many experts from the four major sects can¡¯t do anything to her!¡± Soon after, a little girl dressed in a black dress walked out from the Ye Family¡¯s seating area. The girl looked to be in her teens! However, the girl¡¯s eyes were strangely scarlet red! She walked up the fighting stage step by step with a strange smile on her face. Her scarlet eyes were fixed on Bai Hongling. ¡°Dear Eldest Senior Sister, we finally meet again. ¡°Do you remember when you taught Que¡¯er that blood debts must be paid with blood?¡± Bloody! Terrifying! The bodies of all the Blood Moon Sect disciples on the field slowly melted in a sea of blood, leaving only a set of white bones! Seven! Eight! More than ten! Dozens! They were scattered all over the ground! ¡°They¡¯re¡­ all dead?¡± ¡°Oh my god¡­¡± Everyone exploded in shock! They were all dumbfounded! Such a delicate little girl had transformed into a bloodthirsty demoness! This intense contrast strengthened this shocking feeling! Chapter 14 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Oh no!¡± Bai Hongling sensed the danger and wailed! ¡°Black Sparrow, I¡¯m sorry. Please don¡¯t kill me. Have you forgotten how nice I was to you?¡± Bai Hongling pleaded. Black Sparrow merely sneered and was completely unmoved! ¡°Que¡¯er only remembers that I treated you like family! I would give you half of what I had! I would even give them all to you! ¡°I treated you like my own sister! But you¡­ caused me to lose my eyes and caused me to be abused by the entire sect. There wasn¡¯t a day when I wasn¡¯t beaten! And for an entire year, I didn¡¯t even get to eat a full meal! ¡°In fact, I¡¯ve already left the Blood Moon Sect, yet you still refused to let me go! If I hadn¡¯t met my current master, I would definitely be dead by now!¡± Upon mentioning the word ¡°master¡±, a hint of warmth finally appeared on the girl¡¯s cold face! Yearning! Admiration! On the other hand, Bai Hongling¡¯s face was filled with horror. She had never imagined that Black Sparrow would improve so quickly in just a few days! ¡°Mas¡­ Master?¡± Who was her master? He had actually helped Black Sparrow¡¯s strength to soar in just a few days! She had even¡­ completely surpassed her! However, before Bai Hongling could figure it out, Black Sparrow gently swiped her finger! Crackle! A scarlet arc was instantly produced! Cold-blooded! Black Sparrow did not hold back at all. A clear bloody mark appeared on Bai Hongling¡¯s neck! Puchi! Blood splattered everywhere. Bai Hongling¡­ was dead! The fighting arena fell into a dead silence once again! It was simply too fast. It was not until Bai Hongling was killed by Black Sparrow that the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s sect master and guardians reacted! ¡°What ruthless methods!¡± Even Princess Dongfang Yue, who was not far away, was surprised and could not help but mutter to herself. An old man beside her asked, ¡°Your Highness, since the situation has turned into such a mes, should we stop them?¡± Dongfang Yue shook her head and said indifferently, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. This is an internal matter of their sect, and it¡¯s up to them to deal with it. Besides the Four Regions Assembly, we have more important matters to attend to.¡± ¡°According to the information we obtained earlier, the Secret Realm of the Saints will open soon.¡± Dongfang Yue nodded and said, ¡°Mm, I understand. This time, Royal Father ordered me to search for a new opportunity there. If I can¡¯t find it, I can only say that this is my fate.¡± When the old man heard this, he nodded and stopped speaking. ¡°Bai Hongling¡­ is dead!¡± ¡°That little girl is really¡­ too scary!¡± ¡°She¡¯s like¡­ a demon!¡± Bai Hongling was killed by Black Sparrow in one strike! This shocking scene caused the entire square to be filled with a hubbub of voices and discussions! As for the people from the Ye Family, they were even more dumbfounded! What was going on? This young lady who had been following Lin Xuan all this while seemed harmless! In the blink of an eye¡­ she became a demoness who killed without batting an eyelid? On the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s side, there was wailing! Everyone looked at Black Sparrow as if they were looking at a demon. Only Bai Yanzhou, who had clearly just lost a beloved disciple, was not sad at all. At the bottom of his heart, a greedy desire was born! An indescribable desire! ¡°That is the Eye of the Blood Demon! If I can obtain it, I believe it won¡¯t be long before I break through to the Divine Sea Realm and become a grandmaster! ¡°At that time, even the top three sects of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom and its royal family can¡¯t do anything to me!¡± At this moment, Bai Yanzhou laughed instead and said directly, ¡°Que¡¯er, Master has wronged you previously! It¡¯s all your Eldest Senior Sister¡¯s fault. She actually dared to be so vicious and merciless. Furthermore, she accused the guilty first and said that you lost your sight because you practiced forbidden techniques. Master was blinded by her! ¡°You can return to the Blood Moon Sect with me now. I will take you in as my personal disciple. The two of us can seek the Great Dao together!¡± When Black Sparrow heard these hypocritical words, she sneered. She shook her head and said, ¡°No, I already have a new master now. He is more than a hundred times stronger than you! You want to take me as your disciple¡­? You are not worthy!¡± You¡¯re not worthy! These words made Bai Yanzhou feel a little embarrassed. His facial muscles twitched. He let out a strange laugh and said, ¡°Que¡¯er, it was all my fault in the past. I know I was wrong. Don¡¯t be angry anymore. Come home with me. I won¡¯t mistreat you!¡± ¡°Third Elder, invite Black Sparrow back!¡± In the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s seating area, Third Elder Bai Jiang sneered and suddenly rose up! He charged towards Black Sparrow without any extra movements and opened his hand, wanting to grab her! The people below the stage started discussing. ¡°This Elder Bai Jiang is incredible¡­ He¡¯s a Stygian Realm powerhouse!¡± ¡°To think that you would disregard your dignity and attack a junior today¡­¡± As he spoke, Elder Bai Jiang had already arrived in front of Black Sparrow! Step by step, he approached her! His aged hands that were like tree roots were getting closer and closer, and the expression on Bai Jiang¡¯s face was becoming more and more distorted! ¡°You demoness, how dare you to harm a disciple from the same sect. I¡¯ll capture you today to prevent you from continuing to bring trouble to the world!¡± However, right at this moment, before Bai Jiang¡¯s hand could wrap around Black Sparrow¡¯s neck, a huge foot suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kicked Elder Bai Jiang¡¯s face! Bai Jiang was caught off guard and let out a wail. He retreated more than ten steps before he managed to stabilize himself! That was Elder Bai Jiang! The dignified Third Elder of the Blood Moon Sect! His cultivation level was at the early stage of the Stygian Realm. If it were anywhere else, he would also be a famous city lord! However, right now, there was a huge shoe print on Bai Jiang¡¯s face! ¡°Who¡­ exactly is it? To actually dare to attack the Third Elder of the Blood Moon Sect?¡± ¡°This person is a little too bold¡­ This is the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s territory!!!¡± There was a flurry of discussion in the venue. Although many of the Blood Moon Sect disciples had died in the hands of Black Sparrow, it could be said that the Blood Moon Sect had underestimated their enemy. But now, the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s sect master and the three elders were gathered here! If these four people attacked together, they might be able to easily destroy the entire Eastern Prefecture! Immediately, everyone saw the young man who had attacked Elder Bai Jiang. The young man was wearing a green robe and had a calm expression on his face. It was as if what had just happened was not done by him and he had not seen it. This was Lin Xuan! Chapter 15 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At this moment, as Lin Xuan entered the arena, everyone was once again at a loss. Just who was this person? ¡°Master!¡± Seeing Lin Xuan enter the arena, Black Sparrow, who looked like she was about to devour someone, suddenly became extremely obedient and ran towards Lin Xuan like a puppy. Lin Xuan nodded, still expressionless. He looked at Bai Jiang and slowly said, ¡°Just now, were you the one who wanted to capture my disciple?¡± ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Elder Bai Jiang gritted his teeth. His eyes were bloodshot from the humiliation! ¡°Where did this wild brat come from? How dare you ambush me? You have disgraced my reputation. Today, I will execute you on the spot and have your head cut off!¡± Bai Jiang growled after he finished speaking. Then, he revealed his Stygian Realm cultivation base. A pair of old hands grabbed at the air, which slightly disturbed space! Then, one could see Bai Jiang¡¯s originally bloodless hands suddenly turn incomparably bloody in an instant! With just a wave of his hands, a three foot wide and several hundred feet long bloody rainbow shot up into the sky, straight towards Lin Xuan! The crowd immediately recognized Elder Bai Jiang¡¯s move when they saw his imposing manner. It was said that Elder Bai Jiang had fought bitterly with 81 demonic beasts on the plains of beasts in the Eastern Prefecture. It was unknown how many demonic beasts he had killed in order to master this technique. A normal Stygian Realm powerhouse would be torn apart by this move. This move was called the Blood Demon Hand! ¡°Bai Jiang actually used such a vicious move? It seems like he intends to kill to establish his might¡­¡± When everyone present saw how vicious Bai Jiang¡¯s attack was, they could only sigh at how unlucky this young man was to have provoked someone he shouldn¡¯t have! As for the chosen ones of the other counties, they also saw this scene. Xue Ling¡¯er from Snow Lotus Palace also secretly shook her head. ¡°Elder Bai Jiang¡¯s technique is formed from battling 81 demonic beasts. Its destructive power is extremely great. This person is probably doomed.¡± Lin Xuan, on the other hand, was incomparably calm as he replied indifferently, ¡°So what if I have insulted you? Who do you think you are? I¡¯m not just going to insult you; I¡¯m going to kill you! Do you believe me?¡± As Lin Xuan finished speaking, he began to gather the power of his bloodline in front of everyone, condensing it into a single fist that he punched out! Lin Xuan was only at the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, but with the augmentation of his Supreme Bloodline, his physical strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Ethereal Enlightenment Realm cultivator! ¡°Isn¡¯t¡­ isn¡¯t this boy at the Qi Condensation Realm?!¡± ¡°Why is his body so powerful?¡± ¡°Not good, run!¡± Lin Xuan punched out again. Bai Jiang cried out in pain, turning around to run away, but before he could even take a single step, a thunderous sound rang out. The power of this punch directly hit his body. This time, it directly smashed Bai Jiang into meat paste on the spot. ¡°This¡ª¡± ¡°He actually killed him with one punch?¡± The entire arena was silent. Sitting not too far away, Princess Dongfang Yue frowned. For some unknown reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from Lin Xuan! With just a single punch, Lin Xuan had smashed Elder Bai Jiang into a pile of meat paste! This was too fast! From the moment Lin Xuan appeared to the moment he killed Elder Bai Jiang with a single punch, less than a minute had passed! Because everything had happened too quickly, most of the people present had not even seen what Lin Xuan was like! ¡°Oh my god¡­¡± ¡°Elder Bai Jiang¡­ was beaten to death? That¡¯s one of the three Great Elders of the Blood Moon Sect! He dominated the entire Eastern Prefecture and was said to be invincible in the entire Eastern Prefecture!¡± At the scene that was still silent just now, discussions gradually started and soon became as noisy as a market! The surroundings were in an uproar! Then, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to Lin Xuan! ¡°This b*stard, how audacious! He actually killed my Blood Moon Sect¡¯s Third Elder?¡± At that instant, the remaining few elders at the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s seating area had increasingly dark expressions! Lin Xuan gave those old fogeys an indifferent glance as he coldly said, ¡°If you want to kill me, then so be it. What can you do? Do you want to come up here and die?¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± The Blood Moon Sect¡¯s Great Elder and Second Elder were fuming with rage when they heard Lin Xuan¡¯s arrogant words! In the next moment, the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s Great Elder Bai Ri and Second Elder Bai Shui suddenly slammed their hands on the table and flew towards Lin Xuan. From the spectator seats, two old figures rushed towards Lin Xuan! The Blood Moon Sect had been in operation for a hundred years! They had always dominated the Eastern Prefecture! If they did not kill this arrogant brat today, how would they have the face to stand in the Eastern Prefecture? ¡°Kill him on the spot. No need to show mercy. Leave his corpse intact and drag him back to our Blood Moon Sect to be refined into a corpse puppet. Let him receive eternal torture!¡± As Bai Ri and Bai Shui were speaking, Lin Xuan rushed up the stage; his speed was as fast as a ghost! ¡°Arrogant young man, I¡¯ll let you have a taste of my skills!¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Shui had already arrived before Lin Xuan. Raising his hand, he sent a punch straight at Lin Xuan¡¯s face. This punch tore through the air, bringing with it a sharp whistling sound, as if space itself was about to be torn apart by it. As this punch was thrown out, a gust of wind rushed towards Lin Xuan¡¯s face! The wind was so fast that even Lin Xuan had to retreat two steps! As for Great Elder Bai Ri, who was rushing over from the other side, he shouted, ¡°Well done, Junior Apprentice Brother Bai Shui! Watch me!¡± He pointed his finger in the air and condensed his True Qi into the shape of a sword. A long sword extended out of thin air and formed a corporeal body. On the long sword was an ancient inscription. This was a top-tier Tier 3 cultivation technique, Primordial Evil Sword! However, Lin Xuan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change in the slightest, and he merely circulated the Supreme Bloodline throughout his entire body repeatedly without stopping! He forcefully received Bai Shui¡¯s fist. It struck his chest, but it was like an ant trying to shake a large tree. He didn¡¯t move at all! ¡°This, this guy¡­ Is he still human?¡± When Bai Shui saw that his punch was ineffective, his expression immediately changed! ¡°Impossible! If a mid-stage Stygian Realm powerhouse were hit by my punch, they would be either dead or crippled. How could this person¡­¡± ¡°I wonder what sort of underhanded methods this guy used. Could he have used some sort of special body tempering technique?¡± Bai Shui was still in a state of confusion, unable to extricate himself. Lin Xuan let out a cold laugh while unsheathing his blade from its sheath and wielding it in his hands. With a single sweep of his blade, he exuded the aura of a thousand slain soldiers! ¡°Impossible!¡± Bai Shui was caught off guard. He only had time to scream out in pain before his body was sent flying backward. But what was terrifying was that even though his body was sent flying away, his head, which had already been chopped off by Lin Xuan¡¯s saber, was left behind! Lin Xuan killed Bai Shui with a single slash. After that, he punched out, shattering Elder Bai Ri¡¯s evil sword qi! Seeing that the situation wasn¡¯t looking good, Bai Ri cried out for help, ¡°Sect Master, save me! This fellow¡¯s physical body has been greatly enhanced. He must have some sort of top bloodline!¡± When Bai Ri saw this, he no longer dared to move forward. He hurriedly took dozens of steps back. However, he was still injured. He cried out in pain! Lin Xuan only shouted, ¡°Go!¡± Before Sect Master Bai Yanzhou could help him, Lin Xuan had already thrown out the large saber in his hand! It transformed into a black beam of light that shot straight into Elder Bai Ri¡¯s heart! It hit the target! Bai Ri¡¯s heart was instantly pierced through and he died on the spot! Elder Bai Ri¡­ was dead! Chapter 16 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Oh my god¡­¡± ¡°This young man is really powerful.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not a human, he¡¯s a monster¡­ When did such a monster appear in our Eastern Prefecture?¡± ¡°He killed two Blood Moon Sect¡¯s elders with just two saber moves?¡± ¡°The sect master of the Blood Moon Sect must have gone crazy¡­ He lost three Stygian Realm elders in a short while!¡± This time, even the people from the other sects were stunned! ¡°Hehe, looks like I have underestimated the heroes of this world¡­¡± At this moment, Bai Yanzhou, who was standing on the stage, finally smiled. After all, as an expert at the perfected Stygian Realm, he had always been an ethereal expert. Now that he was in front of the heroes of this world, he naturally didn¡¯t want to lose his composure. Bai Yanzhou leaped up, and with a few leaps, he took a few steps in the air. With every step, he flew up to the fighting arena along with the sound of thunder! ¡°Looks like I underestimated you and was careless. I didn¡¯t expect that my negligence would cause the three elders of my Blood Moon Sect to actually die in your hands!¡± Bai Yanzhou narrowed his eyes, pinched his small mustache, and said lightly, ¡°Why don¡¯t you take the initiative? If you hand over Black Sparrow and tell me your special body-tempering method, I¡¯ll spare your life!¡± After all, Lin Xuan was at the Qi Condensation Realm. He witnessed Lin Xuan fight against three Stygian Realm powerhouses in a row! Although he had lost three elders, if he could obtain Lin Xuan¡¯s body tempering technique and Black Sparrow¡¯s Blood Demon Eyes, what could this small price amount to? With these two things, once he had completed his cultivation, he would be able to dominate the world. At that time, this bit of loss would be nothing! Lin Xuan almost burst out laughing at his words. He sneered, ¡°Bai Yanzhou, you do know how to boast. I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯ve always been a vengeful person. Since you dare to treat my disciple like this, I¡¯ll settle this debt with you. If you¡¯re willing to kowtow to Black Sparrow and apologize, and Black Sparrow decides to forgive you, then I can let you live!¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s tone was still as calm as ever, as if he didn¡¯t care that he was facing a perfected Stygian Realm powerhouse! Bai Yanzhou was furious. He frowned and waved his sleeve. Then, he stepped into the air and said coldly, ¡°Then, I can only ask you to die!¡± The truth was that Lin Xuan¡¯s death was a relatively minor matter to him. Even if Lin Xuan were dead, he could still take his corpse away and bring it back to the sect to study it! The attraction of this strange body to him had even surpassed Black Sparrow¡¯s Blood Demon Eyes! Moreover, this was a rare opportunity for him to show his might. It had been a long time since he had shown his skills in front of the world. As Bai Yanzhou spoke, he stretched out a large hand and made a grabbing motion in the air. A green longsword suddenly appeared! Bai Yanzhou had trained hard for dozens of years for this move. He gathered all the spiritual energy in his body and transformed it into a sword as he suddenly stabbed forward. Suddenly, a green sword beam illuminated the world, and the clouds in the sky turned green! Following that, the sword descended from the sky and pierced the ground. Its aura was like a rainbow, and its power seemed to be able to split a mountain apart! ¡°Kid, listen up. This sword is called ¡®Evergreen¡¯. In the past ten years, I¡¯ve brandished this sword three times. The first time I swung it, I killed two late-stage Stygian Realm demon kings in the Eastern Prefecture! The second time I swung the sword, I annihilated the three great family clans in the East Region. In one night, I killed until blood flowed like rivers. Then, I left! The third time was when I fought with the number one expert in the East Region. It was a life and death battle. After a night of intense fighting, I chopped off that person¡¯s head and left proudly!¡± ¡°Today, I will brandish my sword for the fourth time. I will cut off the head of an imp that doesn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth, because you kidnapped my beloved disciple and killed my fellow sect members! Today, the fact that you can die under the Evergreen Sword is the result of the good fortune that you have gathered in your several lifetimes!¡± Bai Yanzhou glared at Lin Xuan with a cold gaze. Countless sects, forces, and heroes were gathered here today. Even the princess of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom was here! Today, he vowed to kill this demon Lin Xuan here. As long as he could kill Lin Xuan in front of so many people, his name would spread far and wide! ¡°Kid, today, I will kill you in front of everyone in the four counties. I will sacrifice you to my Blood Moon Sect and let everyone in the world know that my Blood Moon Sect is not to be bullied!¡± As Bai Yanzhou said this, the azure sword light that blotted out the sky poured down. It was as if the water of the Yellow River had come from the heavens as it rushed towards Lin Xuan¡¯s heavenly spirit! The green light was a few hundred feet wide, and it was like a green rainbow bridge that lay across the blue sky! It was completely visible, and it was sufficient to draw the attention of everyone present! Even the princess couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°I never thought that there would be such an expert in these four counties!¡± As the sect master of the Blood Moon Sect, Bai Yanzhou did indeed have some capabilities. When this move was used, even Lin Xuan sighed in admiration. ¡°This is actually a grade four top-notch cultivation technique¡­¡± It had to be known that even in the previous Saint Sword Sect, only people at the level of inner-sect elders were qualified to cultivate such a cultivation technique! However, Lin Xuan had already prepared for this. Lin Xuan shook his head and muttered, ¡°Bai Yanzhou, you do have some ability, but¡­ aren¡¯t you a bit too arrogant¡­?¡± ¡°Blade, come!¡± Lin Xuan roared. The sword that he had used to kill Elder Bai Ri seemed to be attracted by something. It was pulled out from Elder Bai Ri¡¯s chest and flew back into Lin Xuan¡¯s hand! When Lin Xuan grabbed onto the hilt of the blade, a layer of purple lightning began to revolve around the blade! Lin Xuan raised the blade up, and in an instant, a purple light rose up from the ground! It shot up into the sky, dispersing all the clouds! Under this endless purple radiance, the Evergreen sword light immediately paled in comparison, dimming and losing its luster! ¡°This is bad!¡± The moment Lin Xuan¡¯s defense was formed, Bai Yanzhou, who had been relaxed, was stunned! If¡­ he wasn¡¯t wrong¡­ Lin Xuan¡¯s move should be a level 5 cultivation method! ¡°A rank 5 cultivation method!? ¡°This¡­ is impossible! ¡°Let¡¯s not even talk about where he learned this fifth-grade cultivation method from. A fifth-grade cultivation method is something that even a grandmaster at the Divine Sea Realm would find extremely difficult to grasp! ¡°He is only at the Qi Condensation Realm¡­ How could he have grasped martial arts techniques!¡± The previously arrogant Bai Yanzhou was now completely listless. His face was filled with fear, and beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead. He was sweating profusely! ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± Bai Yanzhou, who had been aggressive and arrogant just a moment ago, immediately changed his tone and hurriedly begged for mercy. ¡± Hehe¡­ Young Hero Lin, is it? I think there might have been a small misunderstanding between us. You want treasures, right? My Blood Moon Sect has accumulated quite a number of treasures over the years. You can take all of them. If you let me go, I¡¯ll immediately scram out of the East Region and never come back. What do you think? As for the position of Sect Master, you can give it to Black Sparrow. I groomed her according to the standards of the sect¡¯s successor.. She will definitely be able to succeed!¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I¡¯ve already given you a chance.¡± Lin Xuan said coldly, ¡°But you didn¡¯t cherish it. You didn¡¯t have to go to this extent!¡± Just as he finished speaking, Lin Xuan cut down the several dozen-foot-long electric knife from above! ¡°Run!¡± ¡°He¡¯s definitely not a match!¡± Once the rank 5 cultivation method was released, many powerhouses below the martial arena stage were scared witless! ¡°Is¡­ is that a level five cultivation technique?¡± ¡°It seems like¡­ a terrifying aura!¡± ¡°But he¡¯s only at the Qi Condensation Realm! How can he use a Level 5 cultivation technique?¡± Facing this level-five cultivation technique head-on, Bai Yanzhou was almost scared out of his wits! He did not even consider fighting this level-five cultivation technique. Instead, he turned around and fled without even thinking! But he was still a step too late. Lin Xuan¡¯s Thunder Blade descended from the sky like a bolt of lightning, directly striking the top of Bai Yanzhou¡¯s head! That pitiful Bai Yanzhou was swallowed up by the thunderstorm. Then, in front of everyone, it chopped down on his head! ¡°No!¡± Bai Yanzhou screamed hysterically! Then, he saw Bai Yanzhou split into two from the top of his head. Bai Yanzhou¡¯s body was split into two and fell to the ground. He was in a panic, and his twisted face was split in half! Everyone was dumbfounded! Everyone present was flabbergasted, as if the lightning had struck their heads as well! Especially the remaining elders of the Blood Moon Sect and the geniuses of the other sects, they were even more shocked! All of them were dumbstruck, and only the corners of their mouths twitched without being able to speak! ¡°Heavens¡­ I must have seen wrongly!¡± Not too far away, the Patriarch of the Ye Family, Ye Zhentian, said in a trembling voice, his sweat pouring down like rain. This Bai Yanzhou was a grandmaster of his generation! A master that had dominated the Eastern Wasteland for dozens of years! Bai Yanzhou had actually been cut in half by this brat Lin Xuan! ¡°This Bai Yanzhou has been in power for dozens of years and has never tasted defeat¡­ He once killed ten people on the plains of the Eastern Prefecture and drank a pot of wine for pleasure! He can be said to be unparalleled under the heavens¡­ if he broke through to the Divine Sea Realm and became a grandmaster of his generation, then even Heavenly Flame Kingdom would be at his beck and call¡­¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Bai Yanzhou, who had been unstoppable for decades¡­ would actually die at the hands of such a nobody today!¡± In the royal audience seats, the royal princess Dongfang Yue and the elder beside her were both extremely shocked! The old man in particular said in disbelief, ¡°The power of this saber is truly terrifying! Bai Yanzhou already had the intention to retreat when that brat struck out with his saber. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late and ended up dying an unnatural death¡­ Just this saber alone is enough to contend with Lin Xuerou of the Saint Sword Sect, the Young Masters of the Green Leaf Sect, and the other geniuses of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom!¡± Dongfang Yue¡¯s beautiful eyes looked at Lin Xuan with interest. After thinking for a moment, she said, ¡°I might be able to get in touch with such a heroic youth.¡± The entire arena began to buzz with Lin Xuan¡¯s words. Lin Xuan stood on the arena stage, his expression as cold as ever. Not only that, but Black Sparrow was also staring at her master with worship in her eyes; her excitement and pride written all over her face! As expected, she hadn¡¯t misjudged Lin Xuan! Indeed, her master was incomparably strong! At this moment, Lin Xuan¡¯s cold eyes swept across the remaining Blood Moon Sect Elders. Those few Elders were naturally trembling in fear and did not even dare to look straight into Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes! Previously, this Lin Xuan had actually split the Blood Moon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Bai Yanzhou into two with a single slash, scaring these old men until they wet their pants! How could they dare to offend such an expert? Thus, they actually knelt down in unison! ¡°Immortal Lin¡­ We¡­ Our Blood Moon Sect is convinced!¡± ¡°Immortal Lin¡¯s display of power this time¡­ has broadened our horizons¡­ We failed to recognize your strength previously!¡± ¡°However, this abuse of the Black Sparrow was arranged by Sect Master and Eldest Disciple Bai Hongling. It has nothing to do with us. Please forgive us, Immortal Lin!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, we really don¡¯t know. Please forgive us, Immortal Lin!¡± Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said coldly, ¡°I can spare you, but hand over all the treasures that your Blood Moon Sect snatched! I¡¯ll wait for you in the Ye Family!¡± ¡°Immortal Lin, please!¡± Lin Xuan turned around. It was the respectful-looking Ye Zhentian! At dusk, at the Ye Family¡¯s banquet, several elders of the Blood Moon Sect finally rushed to the Ye Family with a huge pile of treasures and handed out these treasures that had been kept for many years! Then, as if they were scared out of their wits, they fled from the Ye Family¡¯s house in a hurry! Halfway through the banquet, a Ye Family disciple hurriedly ran into the hall. ¡°Reporting to Immortal Lin, Her Highness has set up a banquet at the Full Moon Pavilion to meet you! ¡°The current princess wants to see you!¡± the Ye Family disciple said breathlessly. ¡°Oh? She wants to meet me?¡± Even though Lin Xuan was an inner sect disciple of the Saint Sword Sect, he wasn¡¯t an outstanding existence. Naturally, he had never seen the imperial daughter before. The two of them had never interacted with each other before. Why did she suddenly want to see him today? Right, the princess of the Four Regions Assembly was also present today. It should be because of what happened today that she wanted to see him. ¡°The royal family has sent a carriage to welcome you. We¡¯re already outside the door. We¡¯re just waiting for you to board the carriage!¡± the Ye Family disciple continued. Lin Xuan pondered for a moment. Although his current strength was outstanding, he didn¡¯t want to offend the Imperial Family over a small matter like standing the princess up. After thinking about it, he still decided to take a look. ¡°Okay, lead the way!¡± The few of them went out, got on the carriage, and went straight to the Full Moon Pavilion! The Full Moon Pavilion was the number one restaurant in Linluo City. It was very well-liked by high-ranking officials, nobles, and talented playboys. Every night, it was packed with people. However, the Full Moon Pavilion had already been booked by Her Highness. There weren¡¯t many people in it, and it seemed a little cold and cheerless. Lin Xuan couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in his heart, ¡°She¡¯s able to reserve the entire Full Moon Pavilion with just a wave of her hand. She¡¯s truly rich and overbearing. As expected of the royal family.¡± At the entrance stood a few royal guards. ¡°Master Lin, you¡¯re finally here!¡± In the Heavenly Flame Kingdom, strength reigned supreme. Although these guards were much older than Lin Xuan, they could not help but bow respectfully to welcome him. They even had to refer to him as Master. ¡°Her Highness is waiting for you on the second floor!¡± The moment they entered the restaurant, the stairs on both sides were also filled with guards. Everyone went up to the second floor together. In this gorgeous hall, there was only one table; the rest was removed. Sitting quietly on this table was a woman with an extremely beautiful appearance. Her long hair hung loosely on her shoulders, and her bearing was extraordinary as if she¡¯d come from the heavens. Even though she wore a long dress, it was impossible to conceal her proud figure. This person was the imperial daughter of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom, Dongfang Yue. Behind Dongfang Yue stood an old man with an ordinary appearance and a short stature. In any case, there was nothing special about his appearance.. However, even though his appearance was ordinary, he gave others an unfathomable feeling! Chapter 18 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Xuan observed his information for a moment. He was actually a Divine Sea Realm grandmaster! If the Stygian Realm was a master level, then the Divine Sea realm was a grandmaster level! It had to be known that even the current sect master of the Saint Sword Sect was only at the Divine Sea Realm! ¡°As expected of someone from the royal family¡­¡± Lin Xuan couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in his heart. He stepped into the hall on the second floor and cupped his hands towards Dongfang Yue. ¡°Greetings, Your Highness!¡± Dongfang Yue smiled and nodded slightly. ¡°Come in, no need to stand on ceremony. Master Shenyuan, you should go back and rest.¡± Looking at Lin Xuan, the old man nodded and retreated. Dongfang Yue said, ¡°Feel free to sit. There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony.¡± ¡°Thank you, Princess.¡± Lin Xuan sat down, feeling a little uncomfortable. ¡°I have seen your performance today. You are truly one to repay kindness with hatred. However, there is one thing that I do not understand. How come I have never heard of your abilities?¡± Indeed, an expert like Lin Xuan could not be hidden within Heavenly Flame Kingdom. Lin Xuan smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m nothing more than a wild crane in the clouds. I¡¯m just a wandering martial artist. I haven¡¯t joined any sects, and I haven¡¯t left the mountain for many years. It¡¯s normal for me to be nameless. Moreover, the powerhouses of Heavenly Flame Kingdom are as numerous as trees in a forest. How could I possibly be worthy of your attention, Princess?¡± Dongfang Yue nodded and said, ¡°You are too modest. So you¡¯re an unaffiliated cultivator?¡± She was skeptical. She really could not believe that an unaffiliated cultivator could actually reach such a level! However, Dongfang Yue did not continue asking. Instead, she picked up the wine cup and downed the contents in one gulp, completely lacking the reservedness of a royal princess. Lin Xuan also took the opportunity to glance at Dongfang Yue, seeing her exact information. [Cultivation: Stygian Realm Middle Phase.] [Hidden Message 1: Due to the Frost Curse, she will die when she turns 18 years old. There are only two months left.] Seeing this, Lin Xuan couldn¡¯t help but suck in a breath of cold air. This was truly the fate of a beautiful woman. Lin Xuan had heard of this curse before. This sort of person was born with extraordinary talent, and their cultivation speed could be said to be extremely fast! However, this was also a curse. As one grew older, the chances of this curse breaking out would also increase. Although it could be suppressed using medicinal pills and other methods, it was ultimately unable to be removed. Once one reached the age of 18, even immortals would find it difficult to save them, and they would definitely die from the curse! However, if they could completely eradicate the curse of frost before the age of 18, they would definitely achieve great things in the future! However, most people would still die before they turned 18! ¡°To think that this Dongfang Yue would be able to live to the age of 17. Furthermore, she is less than two months away from the age of 18. The royal family must have paid a huge price for this.¡± Lin Xuan thought. At this moment, Dongfang Yue spoke again. ¡°Ten days later, a mystic realm will open somewhere outside the borders of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom. That mystic realm is the Secret Realm of the Saints. It is said that there might be the inheritance power of the saints hidden inside. Currently, only the royal family of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom knows about this¡­ Maybe the royal families of the other empires know about it too.¡± ¡°The Secret Realm of the Saints?¡± Lin Xuan was stunned. Why did she suddenly mention this to him? That was a powerhouse that stood at the pinnacle of the entire continent, a legendary existence! Currently, there were a few Holy Lands hidden in the eastern desolate lands of their Heavenly Flame Kingdom. However, only those Holy Lands that had dominated for a hundred years could reach such a level! Lin Xuan continued to ask, ¡°Your Highness, are you planning to let me be your helper?¡± Dongfang Yue shook her head with a smile and said, ¡°I just want to ask you to travel with me. With your aptitude, you are completely worthy of being roped in by our Heavenly Flame Kingdom¡¯s royal family. As long as you are willing to work for our royal family, I can appoint you as the commander.¡± Dongfang Yue was a smart person. She knew that she could not hide it, so she directly told him the reason why she invited him here. ¡°No problem, I¡¯m willing to do anything for you.¡± Lin Xuan immediately agreed. This was because his original goal in coming here was to search for lucky chances. Within the Saints¡¯ Mystic Realm, there must be countless rare treasures and miraculous lucky chances! ¡°By the way, young hero, what is your name?¡± asked Dongfang Yue. ¡°Lin Xuan!¡± Dongfang Yue stretched out her fair hand and shook Lin Xuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Dongfang Yue. Let¡¯s work together happily.¡± Lin Xuan could feel that her hand was as cold as ice. Seven days later, Lin Xuan came out of his seclusion. He slowly opened his eyes! This was because he had successfully obtained all sorts of treasures from the Blood Moon Sect. There were over 10,000 Energy Convergence pills in total. Lin Xuan¡¯s cultivation had become much simpler. All he had to do was crazily absorb the Energy Convergence pills. Combined with his Supreme Bloodline and Lin Xuan¡¯s efficiency in absorbing the Energy Convergence pills, it was simply terrifying! Lin Xuan stood up slowly from a secluded room in the backyard of the Ye Family¡¯s house. ¡°Hah¡­ finally this day has come¡­¡± ¡°Stygian Realm!¡± In just a week, Lin Xuan had advanced from the Qi Condensation Realm to the Stygian Realm! He left the backyard and walked straight to the main hall of the Ye Family. When Ye Zhentian and the other elders saw Lin Xuan, their faces were filled with respect! ¡°Master Lin¡­ has broken through to the Stygian Realm?¡± Ye Zhentian was especially shocked when he sensed Lin Xuan¡¯s cultivation. It was unheard of for someone to break through to the Stygian Realm at such a young age! Following that, the Ye Family Elders also rushed forward and cupped their hands! ¡°Congratulations, Master Lin!¡± ¡°Congratulations, Master Lin!¡± Lin Xuan nodded before asking, ¡°Where is Black Sparrow?¡± ¡°Miss Black Sparrow is currently in seclusion as well. She seems to be planning on breaking through to the Qi Condensation Realm,¡± Ye Zhentian replied. Lin Xuan nodded his head. ¡°I need to leave for a few days. During this period of time, please take good care of her for me. Even though I¡¯ve been here for many days, I¡¯ll definitely repay you when I return.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Master Lin!¡± Hearing Lin Xuan¡¯s words, Ye Zhentian immediately agreed. Lin Xuan did not stay any longer and left the Ye Family without even eating. He left the Ye Family and went to look for the princess of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom. After meeting up with her, they started their journey to the Secret Realm of the Saints to search for new opportunities! After leaving Linluo City, they headed east for a few hundred miles and were already far away from the borders of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom. In fact, this was a dangerous wasteland hundreds of miles away from the Heavenly Flame Kingdom. A convoy was advancing rapidly on the wasteland, kicking up clouds of dust. This was a deserted road that no one had ever walked on for decades. The road was overgrown with grass and could only be barely identified by some sparse stones. The horse carriage sped past, leaving behind messy hoof prints and dozens of deep tracks as it continued to move towards the horizon. It was the convoy of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom¡¯s royal family. Ever since the convoy left the country, it had been heading east. After leaving the borders of the Holy Flame Emperor¡¯s country, it was a large uninhabited region with no empire or sect within a radius of ten thousand miles. This place was called the Forsaken Land. ¡°We¡¯re almost there..¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After a long journey of three days and three nights, there wasn¡¯t much of a road left before they reached the Secret Realm of the Saints. They could see other teams gathering from all directions! Finally, the team arrived at a desolate land. The people from the Heavenly Flame Kingdom got out of the carriage and continued forward. In front of them was an empty plain. The entire plain was surrounded by huge rocks and all sorts of strange flowers and plants. It was obvious that this was not an ordinary place. At the center of these huge rocks was a huge light screen! Waves of aura that seemed to have originated from ancient times were continuously emitted from the light screen. When one looked up, even the air was filled with purple miasma, making one feel as if they had stepped into a new world! ¡°The Secret Realm of the Saints must be hidden behind the light screen, right?¡± Lin Xuan mumbled. ¡°This mystic realm must have been created by a powerhouse.¡± Elder Shengyuan sighed deeply. ¡°Even a saint-level powerhouse who could create his own world with a wave of his hand couldn¡¯t escape the cruelty of time. After his death, this mystic realm became a place where many people fought for treasure. In the past, it was just a peaceful mystic realm, but it was inevitable that it would flow into the secular world. Things are still the same, but people have changed. Divine turtles live long lives.¡± For an old man like Sheng Yuan, he seemed to have a penchant for talking about time. Lin Xuan didn¡¯t know if he would become as sentimental as he was when he got older. As everyone was talking, Lin Xuan and the others had already arrived at the end of the plains. They found a remote and inconspicuous spot and quietly waited for the light screen to disappear so that they could enter. ¡°Tonight, the light screen should be able to open up.¡± At this moment, Princess Dongfang Yue turned her head and looked at Lin Xuan, who was resting with his eyes closed and recovering his energy from the long journey ahead. ¡°Lin Xuan, after we enter the secret ground, are you going to move with us or are you going to move alone?¡± Dongfang Yue thought for a moment and continued, ¡°If you move with us, you won¡¯t encounter any danger with the protection of our Imperial Family¡¯s Elder Shen Yuan. However¡­¡± Lin Xuan knew what she wanted to say. The only thing she wanted to say was that she wanted to take the majority of the treasures. Lin Xuan understood. However, Lin Xuan wasn¡¯t a member of the royal family. He had only come to the Secret Realm of the Saints with her. Within this mystic realm, there were countless treasures and opportunities. When it came to the ownership of some powerful treasures, it was easy for Lin Xuan to lose his mind. Lin Xuan didn¡¯t want to give up on any good treasures, nor did he want to get into an argument with these people. In fact, he might even fall out with them. Lin Xuan immediately replied, ¡°I¡¯ll act alone.¡± Dongfang Yue was rather surprised to hear this. ¡°Although you said that you have already broken through to the Stygian Realm, our Heavenly Flame Kingdom is only a mid-rank empire on the edge of the eastern wasteland. You should still be careful when facing people from super empires or even top empires. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to travel with us?¡± Lin Xuan replied indifferently, ¡°No problem, I can protect myself.¡± In the evening, the originally quiet wasteland suddenly became noisy. ¡°The people from the super empires are here!¡± someone exclaimed. Soon after, everyone in the barren plains looked at the horizon. Even Lin Xuan, who had always been calm, opened his eyes, wanting to see what these super empires looked like. Then, they saw a large group of people rapidly approaching from the horizon! ¡°Oh my god¡­ More than one super empire came this time?¡± ¡°Look, that¡¯s the Silver Moon Empire!¡± ¡°The Tianyuan Empire is also here!¡± ¡°This place can actually attract two super empires! What treasures are inside there?¡± These super empires were the strongest empires in the entire eastern wasteland! There were many experts! Currently, the people who could enter into the six Holy Lands on the eastern wasteland to train were mostly the disciples of these super empires! From far away, a green-robed man ran out from the group of people from the Tianyuan Empire. He directly came to the side of the Silver Moon Empire¡¯s group and asked with a smile, ¡°Brother Jian, long time no see. I heard that you have been in seclusion all these years to practice your sword dao. What wind blew you to this desolate wasteland in the east?¡± This person was the prince of the Tianyuan Empire, Ming Kai! There was a man sitting in the middle of the Silver Moon Empire¡¯s team. He was wearing a white robe and carried a long sword in his arms. He had the demeanor of a transcendent being, as if an immortal had descended into this world. This man was the Silver Moon Prince, Chen Lingjian. Chen Lingjian didn¡¯t even look at him as he coldly said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so hypocritical. I¡¯ve long heard that a Seven Rainbow Light appeared in this secret realm, and it¡¯s probably an imperial armament. We¡¯ve both come for this, so why waste your breath here?¡± Mingkai was frustrated. ¡°Chen, don¡¯t let me meet you in the mystic realm. Otherwise, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± He then rode his horse back to his team. Soon, the carriages from the two countries arrived before the light screen and stopped. ¡°That blue-clothed man over there is Mingkai from the Tianyuan Empire. The other is Chen Lingjian from the Silver Moon Empire. Both of them are Stygian Realm powerhouses. Although they are both juniors, if they come to my Heavenly Flame Kingdom, it will be enough to establish a sect¡­¡± Dongfang Yue introduced the two people to Lin Xuan. As soon as Dongfang Yue finished speaking, another group of people rushed over from the end of the plain. They were all wearing red robes and had golden belts around their waists. They indeed had an extraordinary bearing. Without a doubt, this was another team from a super empire. The leader of this team was a woman. The woman¡¯s face was like beautiful jade, and her appearance was luxurious. She was not at all inferior to Dongfang Yue. On her red robe, there was a strange pattern embedded with golden threads. Seated inside a palanquin, she was accompanied by rolling dust. ¡°That¡¯s the princess of the Holy Glory Empire!¡± ¡°It¡¯s Princess Sheng Xi!¡± Many people cheered when they saw her. They never thought that three empires would appear in such a short period of time! ¡°Princess Sheng Xi is a famous beauty among the nearby empires. Her cultivation level is also very high. She has already reached the middle stage of Divine Sea, right?¡± ¡°Legend has it that this princess cultivates the Blood Demon Arts. Her moves are extremely vicious and ruthless. In one night, she slaughtered a small empire!¡± ¡°She seems to have been reserved as a direct disciple by one of the Eastern Wasteland¡¯s Holy Lands in advance¡­ She really is a proud daughter of heaven¡­¡± ¡°From the looks of it, we won¡¯t be able to get anything. The Secret Realm of the Saints is probably going to be occupied by Princess Sheng Xi, Chen Tianjian, Mingkai, and the others.¡± At this point, the experts of the various empires were finally gathered here.. Chapter 20 - Crossing the River with a Single Slash Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Hmm?¡± Princess Sheng Xi swept her gaze across the crowd casually. Suddenly, she frowned and looked at Lin Xuan, who was hidden in the crowd. ¡°Princess, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Sheng Xi narrowed her eyes. ¡°That man¡­¡± she murmured. An old man that followed along smiled lightly. ¡°He¡¯s just a nobody from a low-ranking empire. He¡¯s like an ant. Why do you care about him?¡± Sheng Xi shook her head. ¡°This person is not simple. Unless it¡¯s absolutely necessary, do not provoke him!¡± The entourage was confused. Why would the princess give such a high evaluation of a person from a lowly empire? At this moment, the light screen finally dissipated! ¡°The curtain of light screen has finally opened!¡± At this moment, everyone on the wasteland could clearly see that the huge screen of light that was obstructing everyone suddenly let out a tearing sound! That sound was like the sound of ice shattering! This screen of light was a protective screen set up by an expert from an earlier generation before he died. It had weathered through many hardships and was still standing! The thousand-year barrier finally collapsed! ¡°The Secret Realm of the Saints is finally opening!¡± Countless proud children of heaven saw this and their expressions were filled with longing! Inside the Secret Realm of the Saints was the inheritance of a saint! Although it couldn¡¯t compete with the elites of super empires and obtain the ultimate secret treasure, this mystic realm had never been developed before. It was a completely new mystic realm. In this mystic realm, one could find other secret treasures and opportunities. As long as one could obtain one of them, one could soar into the sky! Whoosh! In the next second, everyone could clearly see a huge crack split open from the light screen. It continued to extend forward, and from the beginning to the end, it was completely split open! In the end, the entire screen of light cracked and shattered! ¡°Weng weng weng ~ ~ ~ ~¡± As the barrier was opened, a gust of wind with an ancient aura and an ancient mystery blew out from the secret ground! It was as if a giant Buddha that had been guarding the place for thousands of years were letting out a long sigh! ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± All of the geniuses gathered here stood up and prepared to leave. They were as dazzling as stars, and right in front of them was the Holy Glory Empire¡¯s Princess Sheng Xi! At this moment, the princess of the Holy Glory Empire still had an indifferent expression on her face. However, when she saw that the Secret Realm of the Saints had finally opened, an imperceptible smile appeared on her face. She looked at the completely shattered light screen and very quickly, she transformed into a ray of light and entered the mystic realm that had not been opened for a thousand years! ¡°It¡¯s time for me to leave.¡± At the entrance of the mystic realm, Lin Xuan glanced at Dongfang Yue, who was beside him, and said slowly. Within this mystic realm, there were countless rare treasures and wonderful lucky chances. If combined with his system, he believed that he would be the biggest winner in this trip to the mystic realm! After saying this, Lin Xuan did not wait for the princess to respond. Without any hesitation, he turned around and entered the mystic realm¡­ Within this mystic realm, the sky was filled with purple clouds and smoke. The stench of blood filled the entire mystic realm. It was a completely different world from the outside world! After Lin Xuan entered the mystic realm, he immediately rushed forward! At the same time, he used his system to check his surroundings! [Elixir Gourd, hidden message: Grade 3 Elixir, Qi Elixir!] [Broken scroll, hidden information: Level 2 cultivation technique, Stone Splitting Fist!] [An old metal can with hidden information: After shattering it, you can obtain a level two medicinal pill, Qingming Leaf.] Hidden information quickly flashed past his eyes! However, this was merely the entrance area of the mystic realm. There were many people who were already fighting over these low-grade elixirs. In next to no time, over 100 people actually died at the entrance of this mystic realm. But Lin Xuan wouldn¡¯t stop because of these low-level treasures. These treasures were too ordinary, so he had to take a closer look! Lin Xuan thought to himself. He had to go deeper! Soon, he arrived in front of a large river. What was shocking was that what flowed in this river wasn¡¯t clear water, but bright red blood! Because of the existence of this river, this entire area was filled with a bloody mist! ¡°Heavens¡­¡± Even Lin Xuan couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brows at such a terrifying sight. Soon, Lin Xuan was followed by many others, including some from the top empires! ¡°God, how disgusting!¡± A woman in a red dress pinched her nose and said in disdain as she looked at the river of blood in front of her. However, Lin Xuanxuan had chosen this path. Moreover, he had already walked for several hours. If he were to return now, he would have wasted a great deal of time! ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, let¡¯s go back. This blood river looks very strange. I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be that easy to cross,¡± the woman in the red dress said sweetly to the big man beside her. ¡°Hmph, what blood river? It¡¯s just a bluff. Let me give it a try!¡± A white-robed monk emerged from the crowd. He walked out one step at a time! There was a shiny Buddha Bead hanging on his chest. It was unknown which temple he was from. However, he was no ordinary monk. If one took a closer look, they would realize that the Buddha Beads were all in the shape of skeletons! At this moment, someone recognized the monk and said, ¡°Is this person Monk Kongming from Dawn Empire?¡± ¡°Actually, this monk, Kongming, has never become a monk. However, he calls himself the Penniless Monk. He is very bloodthirsty, but he calls it exorcism. He is a ruthless person. It is said that in the Dawn Empire, this monk forcefully exorcised a sect in order to drink a bowl of flower wine! Then, he chopped off the heads of the elders of the sect and used a secret technique to turn them into Buddha Beads. He carried them with him. The one hanging on his body is¡­¡± There was a commotion in the surroundings. Kong Ming took a step forward! He was planning to directly fly across the river! ¡°Isn¡¯t it only Divine Sea Realm powerhouses who can walk in the air?¡± ¡°This monk is only at the Stygian Realm. What kind of demonic art did he learn to walk in the air?¡± Many people were excited to see Kong Ming forcefully cross the river. However, in the next second, the expression on Kong Ming¡¯s face changed! He felt as though a pair of invisible hands had reached out from the river of blood beneath his feet and grabbed his ankles, dragging him in! The monk was in no hurry. When he looked down, he was instantly stunned! However, he saw faces gradually appear in the river water. And those faces were actually his own! However, each of them had extremely distorted expressions as though they were in great pain! ¡°Not good!¡± ¡°Bless me, Buddha!¡± Kong Ming broke out in cold sweat. He could not care less and turned to leave! However, he was still a step too late.. The energy in his body seemed to have been sucked dry by the pair of hands! Chapter 21 - Blood Blade! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Plop! Kongming fell into the river! ¡°Ah ah ah ah ah!¡± The monk who fell into the river let out a scream. It was as if the river water could eat people. It slowly melted Kong Ming¡¯s body and eventually merged with the bloody river. Kong Ming only had a skeleton and a face. He was lifeless as his body floated above the river. Everyone was dumbfounded. This river was so bloody and terrifying! ¡°Kong Ming is dead? And all that¡¯s left is a skeleton and a face!¡± ¡°This river actually eats humans!¡± Everyone present couldn¡¯t help but exclaim with shock when they saw Kong Ming, who had caused a calamity, had actually fallen directly into the river of blood and was swallowed alive! Only a piece of human skin and his skeleton remained. ¡°Damn it, I chose the wrong route. How unlucky!¡± Kong Ming was an expert at the late-stage of the Ethereal Enlightenment Realm. Even such a person could not cross this river! At this moment, thousands of people gathered before the river of blood could only sigh helplessly and return the way they came. Originally, they had already spent several hours in order to reach this place. If they went back and chose another path now, they would probably waste even more time! However, they had no other choice. In this mystic realm, opportunities would not wait for anyone! This caused many people¡¯s expressions to turn ugly! But at this moment, Lin Xuan began to walk towards the blood river! ¡°Look, someone is trying to cross the river again!¡± ¡°Stygian Realm early-stage?¡± ¡°This man is so young. Which empire is he from?¡± Many people¡¯s eyes were focused on Lin Xuan as they started discussing amongst themselves. ¡°Previously, Kong Ming was at the late stage of the Stygian Realm. However, he was unable to pass through this river.¡± ¡°Can this person do it?¡± ¡°He¡¯s probably just throwing his life away again!¡± Many people discussed. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Xuan unsheathed the large blade on his waist. Then, he slashed out with the blade! With a ripping sound, a sword aura slashed out! A white sword aura, like a bright moon, appeared above the river of blood! The powerful sword aura caused the river of blood to boil, making it seem restless! ¡°Is this his saber aura?¡± Seeing Lin Xuan¡¯s performance, everyone was shocked! ¡°That¡¯s saber aura! I¡¯ve seen some people who have mastered saber techniques before. When they slash out, a saber aura will appear! Just one slash can cut mountains and rivers!¡± Some of the girls from the other sects were infatuated by Lin Xuan¡¯s suave performance. Looking at Lin Xuan with their clear eyes, they murmured, ¡°This hero is so young, yet he can cultivate saber qi! He is truly a promising youth!¡± ¡°Go!¡± Lin Xuan shouted. He leaped into the air and stepped on the saber qi! With his hands behind his back, he stepped on the blood river! Thud! Thud! Thud! It was as if he were the only one left in this world! Everyone else could only watch from afar as Lin Xuan stepped on the saber qi. As he walked on the river of blood, every step he took caused the saber qi beneath his feet to emit a loud sound! This caused a column of water to rise from the river of blood! Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Lin Xuan stepped into the blood fog, and his figure soon disappeared from sight! ¡°This person can actually step on saber qi to cross the river. It¡¯s really unbelievable!¡± ¡°This person is really good!¡± ¡°Could it be that this person is a top expert from a Holy Land and came here just to be plated?¡± Lin Xuan didn¡¯t bother with these idle chatter, directly arriving at the other side of the river. What appeared in front of him was a massive palace. The entire palace was shrouded in darkness, filled with an aura of death. Countless strands of blood energy swirled around the palace, leaking out from all directions! From a distance, it looked like the Palace of Hell! Lin Xuan entered the palace, but after entering, not only did the surrounding blood qi not dissipate, it became even heavier! ¡°The blood qi in this area seems to have originated from this palace!¡± Lin Xuan muttered. In such a strange place, even he had no choice but to be cautious! However, Lin Xuan continued to walk with firm steps towards the end of the palace! At this moment, a woman¡¯s gentle and charming voice rang out in front of him! ¡°Come on ~¡± ¡°Come here!¡± ¡°Heeheeheehee ~¡± Then, he saw the figures of a few women faintly discernible in the thick fog at the end of the hall. All of them had perfect figures, delicate and charming! They were filled with temptation! One by one, the women began to walk towards Lin Xuan. One of them stretched out her soft hands, intending to embrace Lin Xuan! ¡°Courting death!¡± Lin Xuan was furious. He unsheathed the sword at his waist and grabbed it, turning it into a black blade! The head of the beautiful woman in front of him had actually been chopped off on the spot! After the head fell to the ground, it revealed her true appearance, and her originally beautiful face rapidly shriveled and lost its color! Her originally charming body quickly turned into a zombie, covered in blood. ¡°It¡¯s actually a Blood Corpse!¡± From the looks of it, all of these things were Blood Corpses, and they intended to eat him alive! However, after such a thing had happened, Lin Xuan¡¯s thoughts were even more resolute. Within this bloody and horrifying palace, there must definitely be some extremely great lucky chance. The Blood Corpses that had blocked everyone¡¯s path and caused them to hallucinate was the best proof. ¡°Humph, these people are neither humans nor ghosts. If they die under my blade, they will only dirty my blade!¡± Lin Xuan didn¡¯t hesitate any longer. With a large saber in hand, he rushed towards the back of the hall. Killing these Blood Corpses was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. He had killed hundreds of them in a row! Within the blood red hall, Lin Xuan strode forth with firm steps. As he got closer and closer to his destination, the stench of blood around him got thicker and thicker. Lin Xuan could sense that the thing he was looking for was right in front of him. Behind him was a mountain of corpses, all of which he had just killed. Broken limbs were piled up in a bloody mess! At this moment, Lin Xuan was like a grim reaper reaping the lives of these disgusting creatures. Finally, Lin Xuan arrived at the end of the hall. A long flight of stairs appeared in front of him, leading straight up to a high platform. On top of this high platform was a blood-red throne! Around this throne, the red blood energy was even richer, spreading out in all directions! On that hazy throne sat a figure wearing ancient armor.. Chapter 22 - Treasure Stone Pillar Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The figure held a long sword in his hand and sat there quietly, as though he had been asleep for a thousand years! However, in the next second, the figure moved strangely. Then, like a puppet, it stood up stiffly and slowly! The skull-like red head turned around and glared straight at Lin Xuan. Those eyes, which were now shriveled up and hollow, shone with a bright light! Lin Xuan then heard a strange sound that seemed to have come from ancient times! ¡°I am¡­ Blood Demon General¡­ My soldiers¡­ listen to my command!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill this person in front of you!¡± The Blood Demon General slowly stood up from his throne! He raised an old but bloody longsword and pointed it at Lin Xuan¡¯s face, roaring, ¡°Kill him!¡± In the next moment, the Blood Corpses that Lin Xuan had killed earlier seemed to come alive once more. They began to regroup and stand up one by one! They began to dance in this terrifying palace of blood! ¡°All who intrudes on me¡­ shall die!¡± The Blood Corpses that had been pieced together stood up and charged towards Lin Xuan as if they had received some sort of order! However, Lin Xuan¡¯s gaze was completely focused on the Blood General. If he didn¡¯t guess wrongly, all the Blood Corpses in this red hall were awakened and controlled by this Blood Demon General! It was this Blood Demon General that bestowed these Blood Corpses with life! As long as the general wasn¡¯t completely annihilated, the Blood Corpses in the hall would continue to revive! ¡°No matter how strong you were when you were alive, after you died, you were nothing more than a corpse!¡± Lin Xuan grasped his saber, fusing it with the power of thunder, causing crackling sounds to ring out from the saber! With a ripping sound, the Thunder Blade accurately struck the Blood General¡¯s body. However, the Blood General¡¯s body was shockingly tough, and the armor on its body only trembled slightly! After that, the Blood General took another step towards Lin Xuan! Lin Xuan wielded his saber. Although he was shocked, he did not panic or show any mercy. With another swing of his saber, he slashed towards the general! ¡°This era is no longer the era you were in! You have already died a long time ago, hurry up and reincarnate!¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s words caused the Blood General to stop in his tracks! He seemed to be reminiscing about his past and the glorious glory of his life! He had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, risking their lives for him! What sort of glory was that? What sort of merit was that? And now, all of this had already passed by without him realizing it! ¡°This¡­ is not my¡­ era¡­¡± ¡°Am I¡­ already¡­ dead?¡± ¡°I¡¯m already¡­ already¡­ dead!¡± The Blood General stopped in his tracks. His remaining consciousness had been completely drowned out by the sorrow in his heart. He only muttered those words! Following that, the light in the Blood General¡¯s eyes grew dimmer and dimmer until it completely lost its color! Seeing this, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated. He slashed out with his saber once more! With a ripping sound, the Blood General¡¯s head flew out and blood splattered all over the place! With a loud thud, the Blood General¡¯s body fell to the ground! Lin Xuan said calmly, ¡°Senior, don¡¯t worry. To you, death is your release. This junior is fulfilling your wish!¡± The Blood General fell to the ground and an ancient cultivation technique manual fell out from his armor. It looked extraordinary! ¡°Mm? What is that?¡± Lin Xuan didn¡¯t hesitate in the slightest as he quickly picked up the martial skill manual! But what he saw left him dumbfounded! [Saint Level Technique: Demonic Blood Blade] [Hidden information: You can master it quickly through repeated training and internal circulation exercises!] Looking at the information on the status bar, even with Lin Xuan¡¯s indifferent character, his hands could not help but tremble! ¡°It¡¯s actually a Saint-tier cultivation technique?¡± ¡°This¡­ Let¡¯s not even talk about the Saint Sword Sect¡­ Even the entire Heavenly Flame Kingdom and other super empires would not have such a book!¡± ¡°This is definitely a rare treasure!¡± After Lin Xuan obtained the secret manual, he didn¡¯t immediately leave. He thought that if he stayed outside, there was a high chance that others would try to steal it from him. It was better to stay here! Thus, he went to the back of the hall and found a quiet area. He closed his eyes and began to cultivate this Saint-level cultivation method! ¡°If I can successfully cultivate this technique, then I will be able to sweep through the entire Secret Realm of the Saints. There will no longer be anyone who can match me. I will let the geniuses of the surrounding 10,000 countries experience my strength!¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s cultivation method was the same as before. As he cultivated, his eyes and body, as well as the system, would automatically deduce the next cultivation method for him. All he had to do was follow the instructions he had received and continue cultivating! Coupled with his Supreme Bloodline, they complemented each other. This cultivation speed could simply be described as astounding! One day! Two days! Three days! Four days! Five days! Lin Xuan had been cultivating in this great hall for five days now. During these five days, he didn¡¯t eat or drink. Instead, he was listening to the sounds around him. He had to be on high alert, lest anyone discovered him! Even though he was so distracted, he finally slowly opened his eyes after five days. He had already grasped the basics of this Saint-tier cultivation technique. The remaining time was to continuously improve! To be able to master a Saint-level cultivation technique in just five days, this cultivation speed was something that even the geniuses of those Holy Lands could not achieve! ¡°When I was cultivating with my eyes closed, I heard some sounds. Everyone was heading towards the east. They must have made some new discoveries.¡± Although he had been cultivating here for a full five days, Lin Xuan did not have any attachment to this disgusting palace. He took the manual and left the palace without looking back. When he reached the depths of the secret ground, there were fewer and fewer people around him! Occasionally, a few people would appear, and their lowest cultivation base was at the Qi Condensation Realm. After meeting Lin Xuan, they were all extremely wary of him. And after a glance, they left hurriedly. However, many people were heading in the same direction. It seemed like someone had discovered something ahead! ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look,¡± Lin Xuan thought to himself. Without any hesitation, he moved his body, quickly shuttling through the ruins of this mystic realm.. In less than an hour, more and more people gathered around him! After walking through a long corridor, Lin Xuan and the others arrived in front of a massive palace! Chapter 23 - Blade of Heavenly Punishment Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations This hall was different from the previous one; it was extremely spacious and empty! There was nothing inside, only a tall stone platform at the center of the hall. That stone platform was also shockingly big, it was actually like a small square! On the stone platform stood huge stone pillars one after another! At this time, many people were scrambling to rush up to the stone platform and smash those stone pillars! The inside of those stone pillars was actually empty! There was a hidden space! Within those stone pillars, there were all kinds of rare and precious treasures! Medicinal pills! Cultivation arts! Medicines! All kinds of precious treasures! This caused countless people who had come to this place to rush up to the high platform and snatch it as if they had gone mad! However, the competition was naturally very intense! There were even people who killed their opponents with a single palm strike for a level-four cultivation technique! Lin Xuan leaped onto the platform! Using his Eye of the System, he swept his eyes over every single one of the stone pillars. He knew exactly what treasures were hidden within! [Treasure Stone Pillar, Hidden Information: After breaking it, you can obtain level-four cultivation technique, Typhoon Fist!] [Treasure Stone Pillar, Hidden Information: After breaking it, you can obtain third-tier medicinal pills, Spirit Concentration Pills!] [Treasure Stone Pillar, Hidden Information: After breaking it, you can obtain a level-four weapon, Sky Hammer!] ¡°It¡¯s useless, it¡¯s useless, it¡¯s all useless!¡± Lin Xuan checked over a dozen stone pillars, but none of them caught his eye! Especially when he¡¯d just obtained a Saint-level cultivation technique, this naturally caused his expectations to rise! However, right when he was completely disinterested and was about to give up, he was suddenly stunned and noticed something! ¡°Wait¡­ what is that?¡± [Treasure Stone Pillar, Hidden Information: After breaking it, you can obtain the top-notch cultivation technique, Frost Shadow Technique. If you don¡¯t obtain it, Dongfang Yue will pass by this place by chance a month later and obtain this technique. After cultivating it, she will be able to break the Frost Shadow Curse in her body. In the future, she will become the Frost Empress!] ¡°Holy f*ck!¡± Looking at the scene before him, even Lin Xuan couldn¡¯t help but curse out loud! Frost Empress!? That Dongfang Yue? That princess of Heavenly Flame Kingdom? When Lin Xuan saw her, he already knew of her fate! At that time, Lin Xuan had even felt some sympathy for her because she only had two months left to live. However, he never expected that the heavens would always leave a way out. Dongfang Yue would obtain such an opportunity in this mystic realm and ultimately become the world¡¯s proud Great Frost Empress! ¡°In other words, if I can obtain this cultivation technique and pass it to her, I will have another empress as my disciple in the future?¡± ¡°Could this be the legendary truncated luck?¡± Lin Xuan asked as he broke apart the stone pillar! If he could get his hands on it first, he could pass it on to her later! With a loud bang, the stone pillar shattered, and an ancient secret manual floated into Lin Xuan¡¯s hands. Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes swept around, and after confirming that there were no treasures he was interested in, he prepared to leave! ¡°D*mn, you actually obtained a top-notch cultivation technique!¡± ¡°Seriously?¡± ¡°What a lucky b*stard!¡± ¡°A top-tier mental cultivation technique¡­ This book can probably increase a person¡¯s cultivation speed by several times. If I exchange it with some super empires, I can even exchange it for some level nine or even level ten cultivation techniques!¡± Seeing Lin Xuan preparing to leave with the secret manual, several people immediately revealed greedy looks in their eyes. They quickly followed him! This sort of place was a place where one would fight to the death. As long as one saw fat meat, anyone would want to eat it! If this boy didn¡¯t hand over the fat meat, then he would eat it too! These bandits followed Lin Xuan out of the great hall, passing through a long corridor and arriving outside. However, the people outside discovered that they had already disappeared! ¡°What the hell!¡± ¡°Where is that kid?¡± There were more than 10 Stygian Realm powerhouses that had caught up to this point. They looked around with ugly expressions. A piece of fat meat that had been delivered to their mouths had actually flown away just like that? However, at this moment, a cold voice was heard. ¡°Are you¡­ looking for me?¡± Everyone turned around in fear and saw that the person had already appeared behind them. When Lin Xuan appeared like a ghost at the entrance to the main hall, the few Stygian Realm powerhouses were shocked and could not react! At this time, Lin Xuan didn¡¯t have much of an expression on his face, but his eyes that were hidden in the darkness were filled with a murderous intent! ¡°Haha!¡± At this moment, a person walked out from the front of that group of people and smiled coldly. There was no need to hide anything in this situation. He said coldly, ¡°Kid, if you know what¡¯s good for you, you can just take out the top-level mental cultivation technique just now!¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, since you are able to reach the Stygian Realm, you must be a Master. Under such circumstances, it wouldn¡¯t be worth it if you lose your life because of a cultivation technique!¡± The person who spoke was an elder of the Skysea Dynasty, Zhao Yuan. At this moment, his aged face was filled with greed! Hearing this, Lin Xuan lightly nodded his head and said, ¡°I thought you guys were up to something, but it turns out you guys are just trying to rob me!¡± Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. Since you¡¯ve seen through it, if you recognize the situation, then hurry up and hand over the cultivation method. With your luck, finding any more treasures in this mystic realm and soaring into the sky is only a matter of time¡­¡± However, just as Zhao Yuan¡¯s voice fell, Lin Xuan¡¯s cold voice sounded out, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case¡­ then I¡¯ll send you all to the heavens!¡± Just as Lin Xuan¡¯s voice fell, he grasped his long saber and slashed out! With a ripping sound, the speed of that saber was extremely fast. This was because Lin Xuan had already broken through to the Stygian Realm and had completely comprehended the fifth-level cultivation method! When this saber slashed out, it instantly turned into saber lights that filled the sky. It spanned across the sky. This power was countless times stronger than the previous one! ¡°Humph, you dare to spout such arrogant words? You¡¯re courting death!¡± Zhao Yuan snorted, intending to face Lin Xuan head-on! However, Lin Xuan¡¯s saber was simply too fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Zhao Yuan! ¡°Sh*t! Retreat first!¡± At this moment, Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t care about anything else, and he utilized all the strength in his body to directly bounce away and flee into the distance. The blade light behind him seemed to possess its own consciousness as it followed closely behind him, and it pursued him relentlessly. Moreover, it grew faster and faster! ¡°Brother Wang, Brother Liu, hurry up and save me!¡± Zhao Yuan turned his head to look at the rapidly approaching saber light. As he ran with all his strength, he sent out a distress signal to his fellow martial brothers! However, it was already too late! Pa! In front of everyone, Lin Xuan¡¯s saber light directly struck Zhao Yuan¡¯s body! Chapter 25 - The Aura of the Eagle Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations With a wave of his hand, he could absorb the spiritual energy of the world and use it for himself. He could even fly in the sky! In another two days, he would break through to the Divine Sea Realm and become a grandmaster! However, there had been some movements within the secret ground for the past few days, and the final inheritance power was about to appear. Suddenly, the cry of an eagle rang out. From the entrance of the valley, a Golden-Winged Roc flew in. With a flap of its wings, it covered the sky as Lin Xuan rushed in! Lin Xuan panicked. He only had two more days before he would break through to the Divine Sea Realm. If he stopped now, he feared that his foundation would be ruined and he would never have the chance to break through again! Seeing this, Lin Xuan roared out, ¡°You damned beast! I¡¯m about to break through to the Divine Sea Realm! Do you dare to wait until then to fight me?¡± The Golden-Winged Roc was not an ordinary being. It understood human language, was reasonable, and had a towering arrogance in its chest! After hearing Lin Xuan¡¯s words, it no longer pressed forward. Instead, it stopped on a giant rock at the top of the mountain. Standing there with its head held high, it stared at Lin Xuan, as if it was waiting for Lin Xuan to leave the mountain! Three days later, on another morning, Lin Xuan, who had been cultivating in the depths of the valley, finally opened his eyes and let out a light breath! ¡°Hu¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve finally reached the Divine Sea Realm!¡± Lin Xuan stood up, clenching his fists. His entire body was brimming with energy. This was especially true for the dantian within his body. The boundless and surging spiritual qi within it was like a landslide and a tsunami! The difference between the Stygian Realm and this Divine Sea Realm was like the difference between clouds and mud! After reaching the Divine Sea Realm, one would become a grandmaster! The breath that came out of his mouth could be transformed into a blade, and the blade that flew out could kill enemies within a hundred miles! It could also fly in the air; these were the methods of a Grandmaster! The next level after the Divine Sea Realm was the Great Grandmaster¡¯s Sacred Solar Realm! Right now, the number one master of the entire Heavenly Flame Kingdom, Sheng Lian, the Saint Emperor, only had a cultivation base at the Sacred Solar Realm. And yet, he was able to bring up the Heavenly Flame Kingdom, which couldn¡¯t even be considered a lower-tier empire, into the ranks of middle-tier empires! As for the sect master of the Saint Sword Sect, he was only at the middle Divine Sea Realm, which was Lin Xuan¡¯s level at the moment! ¡°With my current strength, as long as it isn¡¯t a powerhouse at the Sacred Solar Realm or above, it should be difficult for them to resist me! As for that sect master of the Saint Sword Sect, I can kill him with a flick of my finger! ¡°My horizons should no longer be limited to Heavenly Flame Kingdom¡­¡± Lin Xuan was extremely satisfied. Just as he stood up and was about to leave, he heard the cry of an eagle coming from a nearby mountain peak. That cry shook the heavens and earth, bringing with it a golden light that shot into the sky! Lin Xuan looked up. A Golden-Winged Roc had spread out its wings that were half the size of a valley. It flew straight towards Lin Xuan! ¡°Hehe, I almost forgot that there was such a fellow.¡± Lin Xuan chuckled as he looked at the Golden-Winged Roc. ¡°I¡¯ll play with you today!¡± Lin Xuan soared into the sky, stepping on the air as he rushed towards the Golden-Winged Roc! As the Golden-Winged Roc opened its golden beak, smoke and fire gushed out from its mouth, over a thousand feet wide. It was as if it wanted to burn everything in this world to ashes. But Lin Xuan only needed to wave his hand to scatter the smoke! Lin Xuan was currently cultivating a level-five thunder attribute cultivation technique and a Saint-level blood aura cultivation technique. He could spit out lightning from his mouth and release the blood sword with a wave of his hand! In addition to the augmentation of his own Supreme Bloodline, his strength was simply devastating. Even if an ordinary martial grandmaster were to come over, they would find it hard to resist! ¡°Go!¡± Lin Xuan opened his mouth and shot out a bolt of lightning, striking the body of the Golden-Winged Roc. A loud explosion rang out as lightning shot out from Lin Xuan¡¯s mouth. This was the power of an Immortal! With a piercing sound, the bolt of lightning exploded, turning the entire valley purple! Roar! The Golden-Winged Roc had a cultivation at the late-stage of the Divine Sea Realm, but it was completely burnt by Lin Xuan¡¯s lightning bolt! Its massive body spun in the air, trembling as it tried to fall down. It was as if it couldn¡¯t even block Lin Xuan¡¯s attack and was about to fall into the valley! ¡°Again!¡± Before this, Lin Xuan¡¯s cultivation technique was only at the level of a Stygian Realm being, so he wasn¡¯t able to unleash its full potential. But now¡­ Lin Xuan flicked his fingers and a bloody blade materialized in front of him! In the blink of an eye, it turned into a bloody sword. The blood sword was a thousand feet long when it was first formed. It spanned across the sky and stabbed straight at the Golden-Winged Roc! The power of a single sword could evaporate rivers and plants into nothing! ¡°Howl ~!¡± Seeing Lin Xuan¡¯s blood sword slashing towards him, the Golden-Winged Roc cried out in pain and fear! It had faced countless Divine Sea powerhouses in the past and had never been defeated! But why was this person in front of it so powerful? Seeing that the blood sword was about to reach its head, the Golden-Winged Roc wailed and closed its eyes, as if it was ready to face death! ¡°It¡¯s not easy for this big roc to cultivate to this point in this mystic realm! I must have taken the divine fruit and disturbed its rest!¡± Lin Xuan shook his head. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll spare your life!¡± Lin Xuan gently waved his hand, putting away his sword. This caused the great sword to fly past the roc, smashing into a cliff not too far away! Boom! In an instant, the entire valley began to violently shake. That 1,000-foot high mountain peak was turned to dust by the blood blade, scattering into the air! Even the firm ground had a hundred-mile-long fissure torn through it! The earth shook! The Golden-Winged Roc stared at Lin Xuan with a silly look in his eyes! Lin Xuan¡¯s heart was filled with incomparable shock. Wasn¡¯t this guy too strong? Even if Lin Xuan had eaten a divine fruit and reached the Divine Sea Realm, he shouldn¡¯t have such power! Lin Xuan put away his sword, took a few steps in the air, and jumped onto the back of the Golden-Winged Roc, placing his hands behind his back. Lin Xuan slowly opened his mouth. ¡°When I was in seclusion, I heard some news from time to time. Someone else had discovered the location of the final inheritance of this mystic realm! ¡°I must have wasted a lot of time here. You can bring me over now!¡± Roar! Roar! The Golden-Winged Roc didn¡¯t dare to resist. Instead, it obediently let out two cries and spread its wings, covering the sky as it flew towards the depths of the secret realm! Although this great roc had a towering arrogance, it also understood the concept of the strong being revered! In front of an extraordinary master like Lin Xuan, it didn¡¯t dare to act rashly! At the same time, in the core area of the mystic realm, countless people were gathered there. All of them had fiery expressions and were filled with anticipation. In front of them was a massive palace with a majestic aura! This massive palace was completely carved out of white marble. It floated in the air and was filled with clouds and mist. Spiritual energy swirled around it. From afar, it looked like an immortal palace! It was truly stunning! Chapter 26 - The Immortal Palace Opens, Divine Weapons Descend Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Between the crowd and the immortal palace was a huge abyss! It seemed that the immortal palace had just ascended from the depths of the ground! ¡°Someone is coming again!¡± At this moment, a huge shadow covered everyone¡¯s head! Then, a strong wind blew, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere. It blew until everyone could not open their eyes! Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to see Lin Xuan flying towards them atop a Golden-Winged Roc! In their daze, they seemed to see an immortal approaching from the horizon! ¡°That Golden-Winged Roc is a Divine Sea Realm monster beast, right?¡± ¡°Who is this person? Such a grand entrance!¡± ¡°Oh my god, this is my first time seeing such a huge demon beast!¡± Looking at Lin Xuan¡¯s suave performance, many of the female disciples were infatuated! ¡°That person¡­ is really handsome!¡± ¡°She¡¯s my dream girl!¡± In front of the great hall of the immortal palace, Lin Xuan stepped on the Golden-Winged Roc and flew towards Lin Xuan! In a flash, he was like a god that had descended into the world! In the end, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Lin Xuan leaped off the roc¡¯s back and landed on the ground! He turned around and glanced at the roc, saying, ¡°Thank you for your hard work!¡± After speaking, the Golden-Winged Roc transformed into a beam of golden light and disappeared from this world! Although Lin Xuan¡¯s appearance was eye-catching, everyone¡¯s attention was quickly drawn to the immortal palace in front of them! After all, they had not come here to watch the performances of the other sects. They had come for the inheritance of treasures! Looking at the huge and magnificent immortal palace, greed and desire were written all over their faces! The entire immortal palace was divided into several great halls. There were pavilions around, all of them decorated with carvings, and all of them were incomparably glorious! However, it was unknown which Virtuous Paragon or Ancestral Master left them behind. This person must have been a Saint when he was alive! However, they knew that an intact Saint¡¯s Inheritance that had never been touched by anyone was a rare supreme treasure in this world! Moreover, there were even rumors that this Saint¡¯s Inheritance before them possessed the Emperor¡¯s Ice, and such a heaven defying thing existed! If their luck was good and they were able to obtain some opportunities from this Saint, it would be a huge improvement for everyone! In fact¡­ this sort of rapid improvement was enough to support them entering a certain Holy Land in the east to train! That was the lifelong dream of countless juniors of the upper echelons of the Eastern Wasteland! Once one became a disciple of a Holy Land, their status in all the empires would increase by an entire level! That would truly be like a carp leaping over a dragon¡¯s gate [1. ¡°to get one¡¯s big break, carp jumping the dragon gate, advance to a point at which one¡¯s success is guaranteed] ! And at this moment, among the thousands of people, the most eye-catching were the people from the three super empires! Among them, there were even three proud children of heaven with outstanding auras, as if they were celestial beings! ¡°That woman should be Princess Sheng Xi of the Holy Glory Empire, right? She¡¯s wearing a red dress, has an imposing appearance, and looks like a celestial being¡­ It¡¯s said that she has already been reserved by an elder of a Holy Land in the Eastern Wasteland. Once the Holy Land opens, she can directly join and become a core disciple!¡± ¡°That¡¯s Chen Lingjian from the Silver Moon Empire. He¡¯s the future emperor of the empire. He once trained hard in the way of the sword in the extreme cold of the north. A long sword can cut through thousands of miles of icy plains. He¡¯s truly the pride of the current generation!¡± ¡°The other person must be Ming Kai of the Tian Yuan Empire. He is also the most talented genius among the hundreds of empires¡­ Such an expert only needs to join one of the Holy Lands in the future. After all, he will be a pillar of the Eastern Wasteland in the future! These people should be here for the imperial army!¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that the greatest inheritance in this holy land will be divided up by them. Outsiders have no place to interfere!¡± In this entire crowd, Princess Sheng Xi wore a long red dress. She had an imposing appearance and was as beautiful as a flower, like a fairy from the heavens. In this crowd, she could truly be called a crane among chickens, especially striking. Her extraordinary beauty made her seem like a black hole that constantly attracted the attention of everyone around her! Chen Lingjian and Ming Kai also attracted the envious gazes of many elites nearby! ¡°This immortal palace is so huge, even those three super empires can¡¯t possibly finish plundering it in such a short time, right?¡± ¡°Even if Princess Sheng Xi, Chen Lingjian, Mingkai, and the rest are here, as long as we don¡¯t fight them head-on, we will still have a chance to find an opportunity in this immortal palace!¡± Just as everyone was discussing amongst themselves, the white mist surrounding the immortal palace finally began to slowly dissipate! The entire majestic immortal palace was finally like a beauty who had unveiled her veil, revealing her entire appearance to everyone! ¡°The immortal palace has finally opened!¡± Seeing that the immortal palace had finally opened, the tens of thousands of people outside the immortal palace seemed to have gone crazy. Like a school of carps crossing the river, they surged towards the immortal palace! There was a sea of people, as if ants were attached to them! ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Princess Sheng Xi¡¯s beautiful eyes widened, and her beautiful figure turned into a streak of light, directly flashing into the immortal palace! Lin Xuan was naturally unwilling to fall behind, and also followed the crowd, quickly entering the immortal palace. The moment they entered the immortal palace, they were greeted by a large hall. Around the hall, there were actually more than a hundred treasure chests. Within those chests were all fourth- or fifth-grade elixirs and some high-grade cultivation techniques! ¡°We¡¯re rich! We¡¯re rich!¡± Many people from the empires had never seen so many treasures in their lives. Their eyes instantly turned red! In an instant, they couldn¡¯t care about anything else. All of them swarmed forward to snatch those treasures! ¡°You¡¯re simply courting death! You dare touch the treasures that our Poison Dragon Sect has set our eyes on?!¡± A large group of sects rushed over and actually started fighting with those people from the empires without saying anything! Instantly, blood splattered all over the place, and heads flew everywhere. It was a tragic sight! These people engaged in close combat and were instantly killed. The sky turned dark and the earth went dark, yet they continued to chop off the heads! There were some people who were still holding onto the treasures in their hands tightly even when they died¡­ ¡°Hmph, ignorant fellow, you¡¯re willing to risk your life for a small profit like this!¡± Lin Xuan merely glanced at the treasures in the hall. He ignored them as he walked towards the back of the hall. His goal was the Central Great Hall! With the current state of the Immortal Palace, the true land of inheritance must be located at the center of the Immortal Palace. As Lin Xuan continued to venture deeper into the Central Great Hall, he could gradually feel that there was an extremely formidable power of thunder and lightning surging within the surrounding world! ¡°Ah!!!¡± At this moment, he saw a Qi Condensation Realm warrior rushing towards him from behind.. However, he had only taken a few steps before he was blasted into a pile of dust by the lightning power in the air, scattering with the wind! Chapter 27 - A Mere Mortal Shouldnt Talk Too Much Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Xuan finally arrived at the Central Hall. At this moment, countless people were gathered within the Central Hall. The hall was resplendent and magnificent! In the center of the hall, two golden pillars of light shot into the sky. Within each pillar was a divine weapon! It was a long sword and a long blade! This time, everyone was dumbfounded. Their expressions changed from shock to desire to extreme greed! Everyone¡¯s greed was aroused! ¡°Could that be¡­¡± ¡°According to the legends, if an imperial weapon were to descend, it would definitely be shrouded in golden light!¡± ¡°In other words, these two are Emperor Armaments? This is unbelievable¡­ The legend is true!¡± In the central hall, there was only an ancient and tall stone platform that stood tall and upright, seeming divine and solemn! On the stone platform, there were two golden pillars of light that seemed as if they were going to soar into the nine heavens and transform into two new suns. They contained powerful weapons that emitted a supremely luxurious aura and power that could overturn the seas and rivers! Those were peerless divine weapons left behind by the saints of this mystic realm. People didn¡¯t even know how powerful they were! They only heard that the legendary Imperial Armament wasn¡¯t something that mortals could control. Only extremely powerful experts could wield it. With a flick of their fingers, it could destroy heaven and earth. It could even destroy a super empire! ¡°Imperial weapon!¡± ¡°There are actually¡­ two!¡± ¡°There might not be a few complete Imperial Armaments in the entire Eastern Wasteland, but there are two here!¡± Countless people present nearly went crazy, their faces full of greed! ¡°Hahahahahahahaha! It really is an imperial weapon!¡± An Imperial Armament was an existence that transcended ordinary magic weapons. Even a super empire that ruled over an area might only have one Imperial Armament that was to be passed down from generation to generation! If a super empire could have an Imperial Armament, it would be enough to protect themselves for ten thousand years! ¡°Even my Holy Glory Empire has only a broken Imperial Armament. Back then, my father relied on that broken Imperial Armament and his own cultivation in the Sacred Solar Realm to kill a super Demonic Beast at the Void Spirit Realm. From then on, my Holy Glory Empire was able to be ranked among the super empires!¡± In the crowd, Princess Sheng Xi stared at the two Imperial Armaments with her beautiful eyes and slowly spoke! ¡°Your Highness, this is a blessing from the heavens!¡± An old man beside Princess Sheng Xi was incomparably excited. He was actually moved to the point where tears were streaming down his face! He had followed His Majesty Sheng Hui for his entire life, but he had seen that although the Holy Glory Empire was ranked amongst the super empires, in the Eastern Wastelands, where there were thousands of super empires, they were only at the bottom! He had worked hard for the Holy Glory Empire his entire life, yet he had only managed to obtain this result. Now, before he died, he actually had the hope to see his empire become stronger again! And now, if their Holy Glory Empire could obtain these two Imperial Armaments, they would be able to sweep through thousands of miles of waves and hundreds of countries! They would be able to completely rise up and stand side by side with the top super empires, becoming first-rate in the entire Eastern Wasteland! ¡°Your Highness, let¡¯s take them back!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Let¡¯s wait and see how Chen Lingjian and Ming Kai react before we take action!¡± Princess Sheng Xi slowly said. At this moment, the entire hall had strangely quietened down. There were more than a thousand people in the hall, but it was completely silent. Those who were able to arrive here were all the top geniuses of the various empires. However, none of them were willing to take the first step. After all, the Imperial Armaments were too precious, and the person who made the first move might very well be besieged by everyone! However, just as everyone was hesitating, a figure slowly walked out from the crowd. This was Lin Xuan! ¡°Who is that person? So many empires and even the top experts of super empires don¡¯t dare to move first. Isn¡¯t he courting death by walking out?¡± Seeing Lin Xuan taking the initiative to attack, a wave of disdainful voices rang out from the crowd! ¡°Who are Princess Sheng Xi of the Holy Glory Empire and Chen Lingjian and Ming Kai of the other two super empires? What kind of people are they? How could he show his face in front of so many big shots?¡± ¡°Hehe, this person will probably be blasted into pieces before he can even touch the Imperial Armament, right?¡± At this moment, Princess Sheng Xi looked at Lin Xuan and thought for a moment. ¡°You¡¯re from the Heavenly Flame Kingdom, right? Were you the one who stepped on the Golden-Winged Roc?¡± Lin Xuan didn¡¯t say anything. His eyes were locked onto the two Emperor Armaments! ¡°You little brat, you¡¯re courting death!¡± Seeing Lin Xuan ignore his own princess, the old man¡¯s expression turned into one of rage! ¡°You blind fool who doesn¡¯t know how to appreciate favors! What sort of person is Princess Sheng Xi? She¡¯s asking you a question, and you actually dare to not answer!?¡± With that said, the old man lifted his hand and struck out, directly towards Lin Xuan¡¯s back! The power of this strike was enough to turn any Stygian Realm martial artist into meat paste! ¡°How annoying!¡± Lin Xuan didn¡¯t even turn around to look. He could already feel the palm strike coming towards him. With just a flick of his finger, Lin Xuan immediately condensed a blood blade. With a ripping sound, before anyone could react, the Divine Sea Realm Grandmaster-level old man¡¯s head was chopped off by Lin Xuan¡¯s sword! With a loud sound, his head fell to the ground! This caused everyone present to fall into a deathly silence! ¡°Oh my god¡­¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s attack was too fast. Even after the old man¡¯s head fell to the ground, no one could react in time! ¡°That Holy Glory Empire elder who had stepped into the Divine Sea Realm¡­ He was actually killed by this person¡¯s sword?!¡± At this moment, Chen Lingjian¡¯s expression had also changed. Looking at Lin Xuan, who was not too far away, his tone was filled with a hint of fear! Because even he could not kill a Grandmaster in an instant! The crowd instantly went into an uproar. Everyone¡¯s expression changed! ¡°You actually dare to kill an elder of my Holy Glory Empire?¡± At this moment, Princess Sheng Xi¡¯s voice became extremely cold! Lin Xuan¡¯s face was filled with disdain as he growled out, ¡°You b*stard! If you say another word, I¡¯ll chop off your head! Do you believe me?¡± ¡°How dare you¡­¡± Princess Sheng Xi¡¯s face was filled with anger! However, with the Emperor Armaments here, she could only temporarily swallow this anger! Chapter 28 - Killing One Person With One Step Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She thought coldly, ¡°Hmph, why are you so arrogant? When I get my hands on the Emperor Armaments later, I¡¯ll use a secret technique. I¡¯ll definitely get a martial grandmaster from my empire to come and wipe you out from this world!¡± However, in the next second, Lin Xuan decided to make his move! His target was the two Emperor Armaments! Seeing Lin Xuan move, Princess Sheng Xi, Chen Lingjian, Ming Kai, and the others exchanged glances before quickly chasing after him! On the beautiful face of Princess Sheng Xi, an indescribable viciousness appeared. She said, ¡°Let¡¯s attack together and kill this person first. As for the Emperor Armaments, after he dies, we¡¯ll decide who is stronger! At that time, we¡¯ll discuss how to divide it!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s attack together and finish him off first!¡± The figure of Princess Sheng Xi rushed towards Lin Xuan! Behind her was Chen Lingjian, Ming Kai, as well as all the top elders and disciples of the three super empires. At most, there were eight Divine Sea Realm grandmasters and over a hundred Stygian Realm powerhouses that rushed forward together, wanting to surround and kill Lin Xuan! As for everyone else present, all of them were frightened by this scene! This was eight Divine Sea Realm grandmasters attacking together! Such a scene could be said to be unprecedented! ¡°Ignorant and disrespectful junior, this old man will definitely kill you here today! I¡¯ll avenge my old friend of many years!¡± An elder from the Holy Glory Empire took the lead and charged over first! ¡°Humph, watch me!¡± And behind him, several Divine Sea realm Elders rushed towards him! Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble! There were five Divine Sea realm Elders that attacked together. Their might could be called earth-shaking, enough to shake the entire immortal palace. Even the earth was violently shaking! ¡°They¡¯re nothing but ants!¡± Lin Xuan shook his head. The spiritual energy within his body gathered in his hands, and with a flick of his finger, he released it once more! With another ripping sound, Lin Xuan¡¯s finger transformed into a beam of bloody sword energy that slashed towards the Divine Sea Realm elder! Before the elder could react, the sword arrived before him at a terrifying speed and slashed him in half! The elder was split in two, his flesh flying outwards! The first Divine Sea Realm elder had been killed by him just like that! Lin Xuan stepped towards the two Emperor Armaments, his face was expressionless! One, two, three, four! Lin Xuan had released a total of four fingers! The second elder was also stabbed through the heart in extreme fear! The third elder wanted to turn around and flee, but he was still a step too late. His head was chopped off! The fourth elder was horrified. He wanted to use his own magic to resist Lin Xuan¡¯s blood sword, but Lin Xuan¡¯s blood sword pierced through him, turning him into meat paste! The fifth elder saw that the situation wasn¡¯t looking good and hurriedly turned around and shouted, ¡°Your Highness, come and save me! This person has an unfathomable ability!¡± Looking at the elder¡¯s expression, he was scared silly! However, before the princess could make a move, Lin Xuan¡¯s blood red sword energy transformed into a beam of red light, directly shattering the elder¡¯s head. The elder¡¯s brain exploded and scattered on the floor, still emitting steam! Lin Xuan had only used five fingers to kill five Divine Sea Realm elders! At this time, the entire scene had fallen into a strange silence. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Lin Xuan, as if they were looking at a demon! ¡°This person¡¯s strength¡­ is too strong?!¡± ¡°Even those proud children of heaven from Holy Lands¡­ can¡¯t reach this level, right?¡± ¡°Every step he takes can kill a Divine Sea Realm grandmaster?¡± ¡°This person¡­ is simply¡­ a monster!¡± As for Princess Sheng Xi and the others, they had already gone completely mad. ¡°Our empire¡¯s elders!¡± This was especially true for Chen Lingjian. When he saw Lin Xuan kill their Divine Sea Realm elder as if he were cutting vegetables, his heart nearly broke and was slowly dripping blood! His Silver Moon Empire was still a super empire, and to raise a Divine Sea Realm elder was also extremely difficult! Moreover, they had to pay an extremely high price. And just now, two Divine Sea Realm elders had died in Lin Xuan¡¯s hands! With this, the position of their super empire might even be lost! ¡°If I don¡¯t kill you today, how am I going to answer to my father?¡± Chen Lingjian held a long sword in his hand as he walked towards Lin Xuan with towering rage! ¡°Oh?¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s face remained expressionless. He glanced at Chen Lingjian and said, ¡°Then you can die as well!¡± As Lin Xuan¡¯s voice fell, he struck out. He moved like the wind, grabbing out with his hand. A blood-red sword appeared in his hand and he slashed out! ¡°Hmph!¡± Chen Lingjian had been cultivating his swordsmanship for many years. Now that he had mastered it, he held onto his longsword and rushed forward to block Lin Xuan¡¯s attack! However, in the next second, just as Lin Xuan¡¯s blood sword clashed with Chen Lingjian¡¯s sword, the seventh-grade longsword in Chen Lingjian¡¯s hand shattered into pieces! ¡°This¡­ actually¡­¡± At this moment, his face turned pale from fright! ¡°This is bad!¡± Chen Lingjian knew that Lin Xuan¡¯s strength far surpassed his own. ¡°Flee!¡± Chen Lingjian didn¡¯t hesitate at all as he turned around and ran out of the hall. However, before he could escape, Lin Xuan flicked his finger and released a beam of sword light that slashed towards him! ¡°Go!¡± A blood-colored light blade caught up to Chen Lingjian and drew a circle around his neck. Then, his body trembled, and his head fell to the ground with a bang! A genius had perished just like that! Seeing this scene, Princess Sheng Xi sucked in a breath of cold air. This Lin Xuan was far stronger than she had imagined! ¡°Hey, that one over there, what treasures do you have? Stop hiding or we will all die here today!¡± Princess Shengxi said in an extremely low tone to Prince Ming Kai of the Tianyuan Dynasty. When she was done speaking, she waved her hand and took out an exquisite jade bottle from her storage ring! ¡°This treasure is called the Jade Spirit Bottle. It is a ninth-grade spirit treasure. I originally planned to keep it as a trump card for the Holy Land, but I never thought I would use it on this person!¡± Princess Sheng Xi took out the Jade Spirit Bottle with a pained expression. This was because this Jade Spirit Bottle was used once. This was a top grade magic tool that her father had gifted her. Who would have thought that she would encounter a monster like Lin Xuan in this mystic realm! Ming Kai didn¡¯t dare to be negligent. He took out a small Buddha statue from his pocket. The Buddha statue was only the size of a palm, but when Ming Kai bit his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood on the Buddha statue, in an instant, the palm-sized Buddha statue became huge and became hundreds of feet tall. It was as if a giant had descended! Chapter 29 - Are You Worthy? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Seeing this, Lin Xuan disdainfully said, ¡°Is this your hidden card? Then I¡¯ll show you my hidden card!¡± Lin Xuan shouted out. A beam of red light shot up into the sky, combining with everything in the world, as if a demon lord had descended upon the world! It was hard to describe the scene with words! Red! There was a blinding red light everywhere. It was as if this was the only color left in the world. Even the sun in the sky was dyed red! The roof of the immortal palace was sent flying away. Above Lin Xuan¡¯s head, there were tens of thousands of sword energies gathered. The blood-red sword energies gathered together like a blood-red cloud, covering the entire world. Everyone was dumbfounded! This is¡­ a Saint-tier cultivation method! ¡°This is¡­ a Saint-tier cultivation technique!¡± Everything fell into a deathly silence! Only a blood-colored broadsword remained between heaven and earth. The blood qi spread for hundreds of kilometers like a blood-colored bridge between the mortal world and the starry sky! At this moment, in the entire mystic realm, tens of thousands of people, and even martial artists several hundred miles away, felt a strange fear that came from their souls! Because the red light had already spread throughout the entire mystic realm, Ming Kai and Princess Sheng Xi were completely dumbfounded! Especially Ming Kai. The moment Lin Xuan attacked, his expression began to twist. This was a Saint-tier cultivation method! Even amongst the Holy Lands, it was an extremely rare existence. Only the Holy Sons of the Holy Lands, the cream of the crop of the Eastern Wasteland, had the qualifications to practice this cultivation method! Lin Xuan was only an unaffiliated cultivator. How could he possibly have such a cultivation method? Lin Xuan was dressed in azure clothes, as if he were an immortal. At this moment, it was as if he were standing in the universe above the heads of everyone. In this universe, there was only a single person left! Above his head, a blood-red greatsword had finally fully formed! ¡°So what if he¡¯s from a super empire? So what if he¡¯s a genius? In my eyes¡­ he can be killed with a single strike!¡± As Lin Xuan finished speaking, he didn¡¯t hesitate at all. ¡°Sword up!¡± ¡°Ghost!¡± ¡°God!¡± ¡°Weeping!¡± Lin Xuan spat out each word. Finally, that massive blood-red greatsword that was at least a thousand feet long released a torrential blood energy that shot towards Ming Kai and Princess Sheng Xi! Saint-level cultivation technique, Blood Demon Slash! ¡°Run!¡± ¡°Staying here means death!¡± A towering sword aura came crashing down. Ming Kai¡¯s expression was twisted to the extreme! The moment Lin Xuan¡¯s blood sword made contact with the great Buddha, it was reduced to dust! ¡°What¡­ what kind of power is this¡­¡± ¡°Too strong¡­ too strong¡­ Even the geniuses of the three super empires don¡¯t have the ability to fight back!¡± ¡°Only the Holy Sons of those Holy Lands have such abilities!¡± Everyone was shocked to the extreme! With a swoosh, Ming Kai seemed to be actively using some ancient secret technique. His entire body suddenly turned blood-red, and his speed was extremely fast. With just a jump, he managed to reach thousands of miles away! He directly fled out of the mystic realm! ¡°This is too scary, too scary!¡± Ming Kai only cared about running forward, his forehead full of sweat! ¡°Looks like only our empire¡¯s Shengyang Realm martial grandmaster can kill this person! This person is simply a monster¡­ a monster!¡± ¡°RUN! RUN!¡± Just then, Lin Xuan¡¯s blood-red sword slashed down from the sky. The might of this sword split the ruins into two as it caught up to Ming Kai. ¡°This¡­ How is this possible?¡± He was about to escape from the mystic realm. He did not expect the sword to be so huge that it could actually slash down at him! Heaven and earth were collapsing. However, in the next second, a torrential bloodthirst rushed out from the rift like a tsunami towards the sky. This time, there were thousands of sword qi! ¡°This¡­ This is impossible!¡± Ming Kai looked at himself. He was just one step away from escaping the mystic realm when a huge sword aura suddenly rose from beneath his feet and charged towards him. His pupils suddenly constricted! ¡°Master, please spare me! Spare me! With my cultivation level, please don¡¯t!¡± He did not want to die at all. He had even received an invitation from a certain Holy Land. In a few months¡¯ time, the gates of the Holy Land would be opened to him! He could enter the Holy Land and directly become a disciple of a grandmaster. His life had just begun. He did not want to die! ¡°No¡­¡± However, in the next second, a monstrous sword qi flew up and engulfed him mercilessly! Ming Kai¡¯s body turned into a pool of blood in an instant. Not even his bones were left behind! Yes, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace from then on. It was as if he had never existed in this world! The second chosen one had fallen just like that! ¡°Hu¡­¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s expression did not change in the slightest as he slashed out with his sword, causing the world to fall silent. Cough! Cough! At this moment, Lin Xuan discovered a beautiful figure within the ruins not too far away from him. She coughed a few times, her breathing extremely weak. Lin Xuan¡¯s expression finally changed. ¡°With this sword strike of mine, even if an early-stage Sacred Solar Realm powerhouse were to come here, he would still be either dead or crippled. How could a mere Divine Sea Realm cultivator like her possibly survive?¡± As the dust settled, Lin Xuan realized that this person was wearing golden armor. However, the armor had already been shattered into pieces! ¡°Is that the Protective Spiritual Treasure?¡± ¡°Truly worthy of being someone from a super empire, these people always have some rare treasures!¡± At this moment, Princess Sheng Xi¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. She never thought that even after using her precious golden armor, she would still be heavily injured! ¡°Young Hero!¡± At this time, Princess Sheng Xi crawled up from the ground, trembling. She looked at Lin Xuan with an extremely charming gaze. From the looks of it, she had completely submitted to him! What kind of beauty was Princess Sheng Xi? Before this, she was always a high and mighty ice beauty. But now, her delicate and gentle demeanor made everyone¡¯s eyes burn! ¡°Young Hero Lin is truly an otherworldly master. This time, you have truly displayed your abilities to the fullest. I won¡¯t compete for this Imperial Armament anymore and will give it to Young Hero Lin. I hope that Young Hero Lin can spare my life!¡± After she was done speaking, Princess Sheng Xi took out a golden token from her storage ring! She said, ¡°Young Hero Lin, this token is an invitation to the ranking battle jointly initiated by the Eastern Emperor and the Eight Great Sacred Grounds. Only the most elite geniuses of the super empires can obtain it.. With Young Master Lin¡¯s strength, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the ranking battle and successfully join one of the Holy Lands, becoming the most elite genius of the Eastern Wasteland!¡± Chapter 30 - Princess Sheng Xis Death Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Xuan took the token and looked at it, but he didn¡¯t have any reaction at all! Seeing Lin Xuan¡¯s reaction, Princess Sheng Xi actually began to speak in a tender voice, ¡°Moreover, if Young Hero Lin is willing¡­ I am willing to dual cultivate with you!¡± Although she said that, she was thinking, ¡°When I escape from the Saint Mystery Realm, I¡¯ll invite the experts of my empire to kill you and take back my invitation!¡± However, Lin Xuan coldly said, ¡°You want to dual cultivate with me? ¡°Do you think you¡¯re worthy?¡± What sort of devious plans did this Princess Sheng Xi have up her sleeves? In the eyes of Lin Xuan, who possessed the system, he could see everything clearly! If she had truly regretted her actions, Lin Xuan could have spared her life on account of the token. But now, Lin Xuan¡¯s killing intent had risen! At this point, no matter what she said, he didn¡¯t plan on letting her go. Princess Sheng Xi was completely stunned. She bit down on her red lips and her beautiful eyes were filled with humiliation! Just who was she? In the entire Eastern Wasteland, she was one of the most beautiful women there was. Moreover, just what sort of proud daughter of heaven was she? She had lowered her status and even said that she wanted to dual cultivate with Lin Xuan, this rogue cultivator. In the end¡­ she was rejected! ¡°You!¡± The anger in Princess Sheng Xi¡¯s heart had reached a new height. But due to the circumstances, she could only endure it! ¡°Young Hero Lin, I am the princess of the Holy Glory Empire. My empire¡¯s respected master is Patriarch Qingyang, a martial grandmaster of the Holy Glory Empire. Please spare my life on account of my master!¡± ¡°Patriarch Qing Yang?¡± ¡°That person is a big shot who has dominated the entire wasteland for dozens of years. The current Emperor Sheng Hui is only at the mid-stage Sacred Solar Realm. It is said that Patriarch Qing Yang had already reached the mid-stage Sacred Solar Realm ten years ago.¡± ¡°Legend has it that Patriarch Qing Yang has unlimited magical powers. Back then, he fought with three early-stage Sacred Solar Realm grandmasters. However, he managed to defeat three of them alone. From then on, he was invincible!¡± Hearing the name of Patriarch Qing Yang, everyone in the mystic realm had solemn looks on their faces! Hearing Princess Sheng Xi say this, Lin Xuan nearly laughed out loud. He shook his head and said, ¡°I cannot let you leave!¡± Hearing Lin Xuan¡¯s words, Princess Sheng Xi couldn¡¯t believe what she was hearing. Lin Xuan sneered and said, ¡°I am well aware of just what sort of people you are. There is nothing I can do to save you. Even if I let you go, so what? You will still find people to kill me and steal my Imperial Armament and invitation letter! If I let you go, wouldn¡¯t that be the same as letting a tiger return to the mountain? Are you questioning my intelligence? ¡°So what if your patriarch comes? He¡¯ll still die in my hands!¡± ¡°Go to hell!¡± Lin Xuan didn¡¯t say anything more. He lifted the great saber in his hands and chopped down towards Princess Sheng Xi¡¯s neck! ¡°Damn it!¡± Princess Sheng Xi didn¡¯t think that her thoughts would be completely exposed in front of this person! At present, she had no other choice but to grit her teeth and gather all the spiritual aura in her body! Then, she turned into a golden light and disappeared from the stone platform. In the next second, she had already flown dozens of miles away! At this moment, Princess Sheng Xi¡¯s face was incomparably distorted! She took out a red scroll from her ring! ¡°It seems like I can only use this treasure to force my way out of this place! Damn it, not only did I not get anything from this trip to the mystic realm, I even lost a few treasures!¡± Speaking up to this point, she also felt extremely pained! This red scroll was a level-nine treasure! This was already her final trump card. Then, she waved her hand forward and threw the scroll out. A Teleportation Array appeared in front of her! ¡°That is¡­ a Teleportation Portal?¡± ¡°Could it be that this Princess Sheng Xi is planning to escape from the array formation?¡± Lin Xuan stood there, his face still expressionless. He only shook his head, as if he was mumbling to himself! ¡°None of those that I want to kill have been able to escape¡­¡± As he finished speaking, Lin Xuan flicked his finger, and with merely a flick of his finger, he transformed into an extremely bloody flying sword that shot towards the distance of 50km! ¡°Go!¡± The flying sword flew thousands of miles away. At this moment, Princess Sheng Xi¡¯s face was filled with ecstasy because her transmission array only needed three seconds to complete its release! Three seconds later, she would be able to succeed. She would be able to escape this place and return to her own empire. Then, she would lead the grandmasters of the Holy Glory Empire to slaughter her way back. Lin Xuan! ¡°When I return, I will definitely bring a group of experts and chop off your head. Then, I will cut off your limbs and turn your body into a specimen!¡± Three! Two! One!!! Finally, at the last second, the transmission array was fully activated. Princess Sheng Xi¡¯s beautiful figure took a step forward, flashing straight into the transmission array. However, just as the first half of her body entered the transmission array, a flying sword came hurtling towards her from a hundred miles away! ¡°No!!!¡± Princess Sheng Xi wailed. Then, her head was chopped off and she fell into the teleportation array. Her body was left in the mystic realm! The entire world fell silent. As for those who were left in the mystic realm, they were looking at Lin Xuan with an increasingly horrified gaze! ¡°Princess Sheng Xi¡­ is actually¡­ dead?¡± ¡°This flying sword can actually¡­ kill people from fifty kilometers away?¡± ¡°No, no¡­ Patriarch Qing Yang dotes on Princess Sheng Xi very much. Now that she has been killed¡­ he will definitely not let this matter rest¡­¡± Everyone there looked at Lin Xuan, but there was no fear on his face. Lin Xuan didn¡¯t seem to care at all. He strode towards the two Imperial Armaments, one step at a time! [Imperial Armament: Green Rainbow Sword] [Hidden information: This is the sword used by the Green Thunder Saint when he was still alive. The power and the bloodline of the Green Thunder Saint from when he was still alive are still within the sword. With the suppression of the Supreme Bloodline, one will be able to control this Imperial Armament!] [Imperial Armament: Rainbow Blade] [Hidden information: This is the saber used by the Green Thunder Saint when he was still alive. The power and the bloodline of the Green Thunder Saint from when he was still alive are still within the saber. With the suppression of the Supreme Bloodline, one will be able to control this Imperial Armament!] Just as Lin Xuan caught sight of the incoming beam of light, he let out a faint smile. Stretching out his hands, he grabbed onto the Imperial Armament within the golden beam of light! At the same time, in the royal palace of the Holy Glory Empire, the emperor was seated on a throne. Beside him was an old man in green robes. That was the great grandmaster of the Holy Glory Empire, Patriarch Qing Yang.. At this moment, His Majesty faintly smiled and said, ¡°When Sheng Xi returns, we can prepare to head to the Holy Land!¡± Chapter 31 - Youre Just an Ant Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Haha, of course. With Princess Sheng Xi¡¯s peerless talent, she will naturally become a peerless genius if she enters that Holy Land!¡± However, just as the two of them were speaking, a transmission array suddenly appeared in the center of the hall. As it gradually appeared, Emperor Sheng Hui was stunned! He recognized this transmission array, but it was impossible for anyone to pose a threat to Princess Sheng Xi! Soon, the array formation was fully opened and Princess Sheng Xi¡¯s head fell out, landing on the ground at the center of the hall. Within the mystic realm, Lin Xuan stretched out his hands and slowly took out the Imperial Armaments from the light beam after killing the geniuses from the three super empires and countless elders! At this moment, there were tens of thousands of people in the mystic realm. All of them had extremely shocked expressions, anticipation, and envy! However, not a single person dared to step forward recklessly! Although they were all jealous of Lin Xuan, the scene of Lin Xuan killing several elites of the great empires was still fresh in their minds! No one dared to challenge this seemingly invincible monster! One sword, one saber; two Imperial Armaments in his hands. An extremely strange feeling spread through Lin Xuan¡¯s entire body! All of the spiritual energy in his body seemed to surge along with the two Imperial Armaments in his hands! ¡°What a good sword, what a good saber!¡± Lin Xuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. He lowered his head to look at the broken saber hanging on his waist and patted it. ¡°Old friend, you can finally retire!¡± Lin Xuan put away his old weapon. Now that he had obtained all of the Saint¡¯s inheritance, it was time to leave this place¡­ After this mystic realm opened, all of the benefits within had been obtained by Lin Xuan! Now that his goal had been achieved, it was time for him to leave. If he continued to stay in the Heavenly Flame Kingdom, it would be difficult for him to obtain any new opportunities. After all, the Heavenly Flame Kingdom was only a medium-sized empire in the entire Eastern Wasteland! Right now, there was probably no one in the entire empire who could withstand a single move from Lin Xuan. There was no point in staying here any longer! If he wanted to become stronger and see the wonders of the entire world, he had to think of a way to join the Holy Land! After all, there were countless Holy Sons and Goddesses who were resplendent like stars. It was simply a gathering of demons! That was the place that should belong to him! Just as Lin Xuan was about to leave with the Imperial Armaments, the entire mystic realm was filled with an incomparably cold voice! ¡°Who killed our country¡¯s chosen one?¡± The voice sounded extremely old. Although it wasn¡¯t loud, it was like rolling thunder that came from the horizon. It seemed to have infinite power that spread for thousands of miles! It was like a god that spread throughout the entire mystic realm. Everyone in the mystic realm looked up at the sound! Shortly afterward, a space was opened in the sky. A crack suddenly appeared, then the entire space was forcibly torn apart. An aged figure slowly descended from that space. That figure was an old man. With a deep voice, he passed through the space, holding a long walking stick in his hand. He stepped on the void, and under his feet, there was actually immortal qi rising. That elder¡¯s eyes seemed to be cast in gold, and the immortal qi rising around his body continuously spread out, as if it was going to fly into the sky and become a sun. The moment the elder descended, the world fell silent. In the mystic realm, all martial artists below the Qi Condensation Realm found themselves unable to move under the pressure. They could only look up at the figure! ¡°That is¡­ the Holy Glory Empire¡¯s Patriarch Qing Yang!¡± ¡°Oh my god¡­ Such an expert actually forcefully transcended time and space¡­ and descended into this mystic realm!¡± ¡°It¡¯s that young man who killed Princess Sheng Xi¡­ Patriarch Qing Yang¡­ is probably here to seek revenge!¡± ¡°What a pity¡­ No matter how strong he is, even if he has the opportunity to obtain the Imperial Armaments, he will only end up as ashes in Patriarch Qing Yang¡¯s hands!¡± However, before everyone could finish their shock, another golden light appeared behind the old man. With a buzz, everyone saw another golden-robed figure descend from the tear in the void. The golden-robed figure walked step by step in the void. Like a thunderclap, the heavens and earth rumbled! ¡°My god! Even His Majesty Shenghui has come!¡± When they saw the second figure descend from the sky, the atmosphere in the surroundings was lit ablaze once more, and their eyes seemed as if they were cast from gold as they swept the surroundings! ¡°Who dares to kill my beloved daughter?¡± Emperor Sheng Hui¡¯s expression was calm as he spoke quietly. Beside him were dozens of Stygian Realm martialists. However, they were trembling in extreme fear and could no longer speak. Emperor Sheng Hui frowned and gently waved his sleeves. A surge of monstrous spiritual aura swept out. The dozens of people in front of him turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace! ¡°Let me ask you again¡­ Who killed my daughter? Who was it?¡± the emperor asked once more. Lin Xuan¡¯s expression was calm and indifferent as he faced this Sacred Solar Realm powerhouse. However, he remained unmoved as he slowly said, ¡°Don¡¯t kill innocent people. It¡¯s me, Lin Xuan, who did it!¡± ¡°Good boy!¡± His Majesty Sheng Hui laughed in anger and nodded instead. ¡°Very good. You only have a Divine Sea Realm cultivation, yet you are able to remain calm and unmoving like a mountain in front of me. With such a temperament, you can look down on the other chosen prides of heaven!¡± Looking at Lin Xuan¡¯s two Imperial Armaments, he spoke in a commanding tone, ¡°Hand over the Imperial Armaments in your hands now. As long as you break your arms, poke your eyes out, kowtow to me, and confess your sins, return to my Holy Glory Empire, and protect the second half of my beloved daughter, I will spare your life!¡± The emperor paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°Otherwise, I will kill you, your family, and your entire empire!¡± However, Lin Xuan only used his sword to respond to Emperor Holy Glory¡¯s words. With a piercing sound, Lin Xuan¡¯s sword slashed out, turning into a blood-red blade that was a thousand feet long. It stretched across the sky. Just what sort of power was this! ¡°Seems like you want to do this the hard way!¡± His Majesty Sheng Hui¡¯s brows furrowed as he stretched out his hand, wanting to kill Lin Xuan. However, Patriarch Qing Yang, who was standing beside his Majesty Sheng Hui, frowned and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s actually a Saint-rank cultivation technique?¡± Patriarch Qing Yang hurriedly shouted, ¡°Your Majesty, quickly retreat!¡± Just as Patriarch Qing Yang finished his sentence, Lin Xuan had already slashed out with his sword.. With a ripping sound, Emperor Sheng Hui felt something missing from his right side, which was then followed by intense pain! Chapter 32 - Heavenly Thunder Gourd Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Turning his head, he discovered that his right arm had already been chopped off by Lin Xuan¡¯s sword, and what remained was dripping with blood! This time, Emperor Sheng Hui was completely dumbfounded. He was a grand Sacred Solar Realm martial grandmaster, but his arm was actually chopped off by a little brat from the Divine Sea Realm? He simply couldn¡¯t believe his eyes! A single sword strike managed to cut off his opponent¡¯s arm? What sort of powerhouse was this Emperor Sheng Hui? He was a Great Grandmaster at the Sacred Solar Realm. Even in that Holy Land, he was an incomparably dazzling existence. And yet, Lin Xuan managed to cut off his arm! ¡°Lin Xuan, I will cut you into a million pieces today. I will kill all of your family and all of your empire¡¯s living beings. I will not leave a single one alive!¡± At this time, Emperor Sheng Hui¡¯s rage reached its peak. Even his voice became hoarse. ¡°Qingyang, let¡¯s kill him together!¡± After all, Lin Xuan had cut off his arm with a single blade strike, making it so that even Emperor Sheng Hui didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. He used a deep voice to seek help from Patriarch Qing Yang! ¡°Please rest assured, Your Majesty. This brat will definitely not escape death today. The Imperial Armaments in his hand will also belong to the Holy Glory Empire!¡± After saying that, Patriarch Qing Yang and Emperor Sheng Hui stepped on lightning and ran in the air step by step. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Every step he took tore through the air like a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived right in front of Lin Xuan! BOOM! BOOM! Just how strong were these two Sacred Solar Realm powerhouses? The next major realm of the Divine Sea Realm was the Sacred Solar Realm, and it was the martial grandmaster realm. If an empire had a Sacred Solar Realm grandmaster overseeing it, then it would be a high-level empire. If there were two Sacred Solar Realm grandmasters overseeing it, then it would be a super empire! In other words, Lin Xuan was facing a super empire! Patriarch Qing Yang flicked his sleeves. With just a raise of his hand, he was able to cause the Milky Way to explode. Bolts of thunder rang out in the sky. Even the clouds in the sky were blown away by the explosion. Facing the attacks of two Sacred Solar Realm grandmasters, Lin Xuan was able to defend against them. However, he still retreated rapidly. As Lin Xuan was retreating, he could clearly feel the power of thunder around him becoming increasingly thick! ¡°When we came to this immortal palace earlier, we already sensed this power of lightning. Could it be that there are some mysterious mechanisms in the surroundings?¡± Very quickly, the three people fighting in the sky came to the side of a lightning pool! The lightning pool was extremely huge, with countless bolts of lightning crackling within it. Even Patriarch Qing Yang was stunned by the berserk power! At this moment, Lin Xuan also discovered that there was a huge golden gourd at the center of the lightning pool. The gourd was completely golden, as if it was made of gold! However, this gourd was terrifyingly large. It was large enough to hold an adult. Lin Xuan quickly focused his eyes! [Origin Spirit Tool: Thunder Calabash] [Hidden information: The power of lightning has accumulated in the gourd for 10,000 years. If one enters the gourd and cultivates with the power of lightning, one¡¯s body can be tempered into a body of heavenly lightning!] ¡°What?¡± Looking at the scene before him, Lin Xuan was overwhelmed with joy. An Original Spiritual Treasure! Even though it wasn¡¯t comparable to an Imperial Armament, it was still an extremely powerful existence. More importantly, it was able to refine a divine body within the Heavenly Thunder Calabash! Once his body matured, the two people in front of him would no longer be his match! ¡°Hmph! Heaven always leaves a way out!¡± Lin Xuan laughed coldly before transforming into a streak of light and flying straight into the Heavenly Thunder Calabash! ¡°This brat, he actually wants to commit suicide!¡± Patriarch Qing Yang roared when he saw this scene. When he saw Lin Xuan charging towards the lightning pool, he thought that Lin Xuan was going to commit suicide! ¡°Hurry up and stop him!¡± the emperor roared out. However, he was still a step too slow. By the time they could react, Lin Xuan had already drilled his way into the golden gourd! ¡°This¡­¡± When the two saw this, they were instantly stunned! ¡°He actually jumped into that¡­ gourd!¡± Emperor Sheng Hui¡¯s expression became extremely twisted. ¡°That golden gourd contains an extremely powerful lightning sword energy. Even a powerhouse at the perfected stage of the Sacred Solar Realm would be blasted into a wisp of smoke if they dared to approach it!¡± ¡°This boy is truly ruthless!¡± Patriarch Qing Yang was nearly angered to death by Lin Xuan. He could only watch helplessly as Lin Xuan¡¯s two Emperor Armaments entered the divine gourd! ¡°Hmph, he must have some special spell that can temporarily protect him!¡± In the end, the ashen-faced Emperor Sheng Hui made this judgment. ¡°However, such a special spell usually has a time limit. We only need to wait here for a moment. When he comes out, we will kill him on the spot!¡± In the middle of the golden gourd was a sea. However, what surged in the sea was not seawater but the surging power of lightning. Lin Xuan entered the gourd and hurriedly used his own Supreme Bloodline to protect his body. Then, he was surprised to discover that when the lightning touched him, not only did it not cause him any harm, it turned into pure energy and entered his body. Immediately after, his body was tempered by the lightning! ¡°This lightning really can temper one¡¯s divine body!¡± Lin Xuan began to meditate atop the sea of thunder, crazily devouring the power of thunder around him. He could faintly feel that this sea of thunder was the true inheritance of this Holy Land! Who would have thought that he would almost miss this chance! As Lin Xuan¡¯s cultivation gradually reached perfection, a Great God was quietly born into this world! Within that massive Heavenly Thunder Calabash, Lin Xuan was quietly sitting in a sea of lightning! To Lin Xuan, time had long since lost its concept. Bolts of lightning continued to temper his body. At this moment, Lin Xuan¡¯s body began to glow with a greenish-golden light. It was as if there were 10,000 bolts of lightning flashing across his body, just like a thunder god! At the same time, the lightning within the Heavenly Thunder Calabash was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as if all the lightning in the world was converging onto Lin Xuan¡¯s body! ¡°My lightning body is about to be cultivated!¡± Lin Xuan continued to meditate. He could clearly feel his body being tempered by the lightning, becoming stronger and stronger! ¡°Retrieve!¡± At a certain moment, as he absorbed all the lightning within the lightning gourd, Lin Xuan¡¯s eyes slowly opened! The moment he opened his eyes, a bolt of lightning shot out. It was time to leave! Chapter 33 - Killed with a Step Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Right at this moment, outside the calabash, Emperor Sheng Hui and Patriarch Qing Yang were sitting quietly at the side. It had been a week since Lin Xuan entered the Heavenly Thunder Calabash! ¡°It¡¯s already been a week. The kid is probably dead!¡± Patriarch Qing Yang frowned and said in a low voice. Emperor Sheng Hui, who was sitting beside him, had an extremely ugly expression. At this time, everyone in the mystic realm discovered a lightning light beam that shot out from the Heavenly Thunder Calabash. Even the clouds in the sky were instantly scattered. ¡°What¡­ what¡¯s going on?¡± The expressions of Emperor Sheng Hui and Patriarch Qing Yang changed drastically. Before they could even react, they heard a ripping sound. In the next instant, a figure instantly flew out from the Heavenly Thunder Calabash. Following that, it transformed into a bolt of lightning that shot into the sky. It was Lin Xuan. At this moment, Lin Xuan was standing in the sky with a calm expression on his face. Waving his hand, he called out, ¡°Come over here!¡± With a swoosh, the unruly Heavenly Thunder Calabash shot out like an obedient child, flying towards Lin Xuan¡¯s hand. In the end, the Heavenly Thunder Calabash became the size of Lin Xuan¡¯s palm! ¡°Very good!¡± Lin Xuan smiled as he looked at the Heavenly Thunder Calabash in his hands. Then, he hung it on his waist! ¡°This kid has finally come out!¡± As Lin Xuan flew out from the Heavenly Thunder Calabash, everyone in the mystic realm raised their head and looked towards the sky. At this moment, Lin Xuan was standing in the sky with his hands behind his back. When Emperor Sheng Hui and Patriarch Qing Yang caught sight of Lin Xuan, both of them chuckled and slowly stood up. After waiting for so long, Lin Xuan had finally appeared! ¡°Hehe, you¡¯ve finally come out. I thought you were going to hide in that golden gourd for the rest of your life. Since that¡¯s the case, you should die as well!¡± The emperor let out a sinister laugh. Looking at Lin Xuan, who was above him, his expression turned into one of extreme rage. In fact, his voice had already turned hoarse. This Lin Xuan had killed his beloved daughter and had even chopped off one of his arms. Such a huge grudge had to be paid with Lin Xuan¡¯s blood, as well as the blood of his family and even his empire! ¡°Who¡¯s making a ruckus over there?¡± Lin Xuan lowered his head and saw Emperor Sheng Hui and Patriarch Qing Yang below him. They were like two ants! ¡°Then you can go to hell as well!¡± After he finished speaking, there was still no expression on his face. Step by step, he soared through the air, heading towards Emperor Sheng Hui! Boom, boom, boom! With every step Lin Xuan took, a bolt of green lightning would explode out from beneath his feet, shaking the heavens and earth. Lin Xuan stood in the sky and stomped down with his foot. An incomparably huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky and exploded. In an instant, it turned into a 10,000 foot long bolt of lightning that ruthlessly struck the emperor! Emperor Sheng Hui¡¯s face was originally filled with pride because he had thought that Lin Xuan was about to die. At that time, Lin Xuan¡¯s Imperial Armament would also belong to him. However, in the next second, Lin Xuan crushed Emperor Sheng Hui to death with a single stomp, turning him into ashes in an instant. Lin Xuan then turned into a wisp of smoke and left. Before he could even let out a scream, Lin Xuan had stepped on a Sacred Solar Realm martial grandmaster to death! It was like stepping on an ant! All of the martial artists in the mystic realm were stunned. A cold chill spread through their bodies. This was far too shocking, and many of them had even fainted from fear. ¡°Emperor Sheng Hui was actually trampled to death by someone?!¡± Lin Xuan was expressionless as he stepped on the lightning and approached Patriarch Qing Yang! Patriarch Azure Yang, who was experienced and knowledgeable, was also dumbfounded. Especially when he saw his emperor, a living person, being stepped into a wisp of smoke in front of him. Not even a trace was left behind! ¡°How is this person so strong? How is this possible? This is definitely impossible!¡± Even though Patriarch Qingyang had roamed the eastern wasteland for many years, his legs were trembling at this moment. In the next moment, he actually knelt on the ground! ¡°I am only an elder of the Holy Glory Empire. I have nothing to do with the royal family. I was blind and offended an immortal. Please forgive me!¡± Lin Xuan shook his head and stomped down without hesitation! Lin Xuan smiled and turned around to leave the mystic realm, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded people! Outside the mystic realm, the surviving martial artists began to gather again. After more than a month of plundering, all of the treasures in the mystic realm had basically been swept clean. Everyone was preparing to leave one after another! In the midst of these people who were preparing to leave, a legend began to spread. It was Lin Xuan¡¯s legend, and everyone was talking about it! ¡°Hey, have you heard? In the depths of the secret ground, there is a person called Lin Xuan who killed the geniuses of the three super empires.¡± ¡°Not only that, even the emperor of the Holy Glory Empire and Patriarch Qing Yang, whose names shook the entire eastern wasteland, were killed by him. I have never heard of such a thing since I was born!¡± ¡°This is impossible¡­ It must be fake!¡± ¡°Who were Emperor Sheng Hui and Patriarch Qing Yang? They are peerless experts who supported an empire! How could they be killed so easily?¡± ¡°It¡¯s up to you whether you believe me or not. It¡¯s said that that person killed them very easily. He actually stepped on them like they were ants. With a single kick, he killed two people!¡± ¡°Eh? What¡¯s the benefit of bragging like that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s precisely because there are no benefits that I won¡¯t brag about this. This is true!¡± Outside the mystic realm, Lin Xuan¡¯s deeds had already been spread out. This news immediately caused an uproar in the audience. Countless people began to discuss amongst themselves, all of them incomparably shocked! ¡°This¡­¡± At this moment, the royal daughter of the Heavenly Flame Empire, Dongfang Yue, was also stunned when she heard this news! Dongfang Yue and the others had entered the mystic realm together with Lin Xuan, and they left the mystic realm before him. At this time, they had set up camp at the entrance of the mystic realm, waiting for Lin Xuan to come out! ¡°That Lin Xuan they were talking about earlier, is that Lin Xuan from our team?¡± a guard from Saint Emperor¡¯s team asked curiously. Even Dongfang Yue¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with doubt! ¡°Haha, that won¡¯t happen!¡± At this moment, Sheng Shenyuan, who was accompanying the Heavenly Flame Kingdom team, smiled faintly. ¡°Although Young Hero Lin Xuan is very powerful, his cultivation is still at the Stygian Realm.. How could it be him?¡± Chapter 34 - Time to Settle Old Scores Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Furthermore, the emperor of the Holy Glory Empire and Patriarch Qing Yang were both Great Grandmasters. Let alone these two, even the elites of the three empires weren¡¯t his match!¡± ¡°This legendary Immortal Lin is probably just as famous as Lin Xuan, who we brought here!¡± Dongfang Yue nodded in agreement. She didn¡¯t seem to have the mood to think about anything else and could only shake her head with a bitter smile. She had come to this secret realm this time to search for opportunities and see if she could remove her curse. But now, it seemed that she was still too young. In this secret realm, there were countless powerhouses, and the people of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom had only obtained some insignificant gains at the edge of the mystic realm! ¡°What opportunity? Hehe, we are still too naive!¡± Dongfang Yue bit her red lips and laughed self-deprecatingly. She was now eighteen years old, which was the best age. Originally, her talent was astonishing, and she even dreamed that she would one day enter a Holy Land to train. Now, it seemed that everything was just a dream. ¡°I only have less than a month left to live. I just need to spend some time with my family!¡± Dongfang Yue shook her head and made a decision in her heart. It was already late at night, and countless people had set up camp in front of this mystic realm to rest, preparing to leave this place tomorrow morning. Suddenly, the crowd burst into an uproar. ¡°Greetings, Immortal!¡± ¡°Greetings, Immortal!¡± Countless proud sons of heaven were filled with admiration, but most of them were respect from powerful people! ¡°Greetings, Immortal Lin!¡± In the camp of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom, many people were also very curious. What kind of person was this Immortal Lin, who could instantly kill the geniuses of the three super empires and trample two grandmasters? However, when they looked into the distance, they were immediately completely dumbfounded. Especially Dongfang Yue, she covered her small mouth in shock as she looked at the figure walking over step by step from afar. That green-clothed figure had a purple-gold gourd hanging on his waist! Wasn¡¯t that Lin Xuan? ¡°This¡­¡± Elder Shengyuan, who was beside Dongfang Yue, broke out in a cold sweat. It was unbelievable. They had never expected that the legendary Immortal Lin was really Heavenly Flame Kingdom¡¯s Lin Xuan! Lin Xuan walked out from the crowd, his eyes sweeping over the crowd. He discovered the people from Heavenly Flame Kingdom and took several steps forward! ¡°Elder, what is Lin Xuan¡¯s current strength like?¡± Elder Shengyuan shook his head and said, ¡°Right now, his strength has already surpassed mine by 10,000 points. It seems that the greatest destiny within this mystic realm has actually been obtained by him. This is truly a blessing from the heavens. My Heavenly Flame Kingdom has actually given birth to such a proud son of heaven!¡± At this moment, Dongfang Yue hurried over and smiled. ¡°Congratulations, Lin Xuan!¡± Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan stretched out two fingers and gently tapped on Dongfang Yue¡¯s head! Dongfang Yue blushed slightly at his intimate actions. Just as she was about to speak, she remembered that she did not have much time left and became extremely disappointed! Suddenly, a martial skill secret manual appeared in her mind. She cultivated for a while, and after just a cycle, the Frozen Shadow Curse in the depths of her dantian actually loosened a little. Even though it was only slightly, she could clearly feel it! ¡°What is this?¡± Lin Xuan smiled, ¡°Your Highness, you brought me into this mystic realm, allowing me to obtain such a lucky chance. This is my gift to you, and it can remove the curse of frost within your body!¡± Dongfang Yue¡¯s mind rumbled, and she was practically on the verge of fainting from shock! She originally thought that she didn¡¯t have much time left and was destined to die; she never imagined that she would obtain such a fortuitous encounter here. This was what she had been bitterly searching for all these years! She had originally thought that she would die without a doubt. She had originally already given up all hope, thinking that she would pass away in this great age, leaving her parents, friends, relatives, and all the important people in her life! The person in front of her definitely not only saved her life, but he also gave her a new life. Dongfang Yue disregarded her status as a princess and knelt down in front of Lin Xuan with a thump! ¡°Master, please accept this disciple¡¯s bow. Thank you for granting me a new life. In this life, I, Dongfang Yue, will follow your lead!¡± Seeing the princess¡¯ reaction, Lin Xuan was also a bit afraid. When he remembered that this person in front of him would become the future Frost Queen, he felt a bit of pressure! In the main residence of the Ye Family in the East River City, a banquet was being held. After Lin Xuan and his men left the mystic realm, they passed by River City and were resting in the city. In the main hall of the Ye Family, a banquet was being held! ¡°Grandmaster¡­ How do you do, Senior-apprentice Sister!¡± Dongfang Yue looked at Black Sparrow, who was much smaller than her, and her face flushed red. But, in the end, she still called her Senior-apprentice Sister. After all, Black Sparrow was the first disciple to enter Lin Xuan¡¯s tutelage and could be considered Lin Xuan¡¯s senior disciple. ¡°Uh¡­ Junior Sister is good too!¡± Due to their previous encounter, Black Sparrow was still rather wary of her and agreed rather reluctantly. Previously, Black Sparrow had been cultivating in seclusion and had now successfully reached the Qi Condensation Realm. Now, she had also completely activated her Blood Demon Eyes. Dongfang Yue had removed the curse that threatened her life. Of these two people, one would be the future Blood Demon Queen and the other would be the Frost Empress. With such talent, it would not be long before the entire Eastern Wasteland respected these two! After three rounds of drinking, Lin Xuan¡¯s face suddenly turned cold. He then said, ¡°Black Sparrow, you and Dongfang Yue can return to the Heavenly Flame Kingdom tomorrow!¡± Dongfang Yue hurriedly asked, ¡°Master, where are you going?¡± Lin Xuan coldly said, ¡°There are some matters of the past that should be resolved now. We will meet at the Saint Sword Sect in a few days!¡± After he finished speaking, he didn¡¯t wait for the others to react before he directly stood up and left the Ye Clan. He left swiftly, leaving only the members of the Ye Clan behind. They looked at each other in confusion! At this moment, Black Sparrow said, ¡°My master has always come and gone without a trace. If we want to follow him, he will have to work hard!¡± Hearing Black Sparrow¡¯s words, Dongfang Yue clenched her fists as if she had made up her mind! After leaving the Ye Family, Lin Xuan rushed towards the Saint Sword Sect. By this time, it was already close to dawn. Lin Xuan was walking along a quiet path in Linluo City. As he walked, he suddenly said coldly, ¡°You have been following me for such a long time, don¡¯t you want to come out and meet me after half a year?¡± Just as Lin Xuan¡¯s voice fell¡­ Swish! Swish! Swish! From the surrounding forest, in the small alley, and even from the hotel building far away, there were actually dozens of black figures jumping out with cold smiles! This time, there were at least fifty to sixty people, all of whom Lin Xuan recognized.. Chapter 35 - Surrounded Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations They were all people from the Saint Sword Sect, including the four protectors, the eight commanders, and ten zealots. The formation before him could be said to be the core power of the sect. The four protectors were all at Great Perfection of the Divine Sea Realm. Thinking back to when Lin Xuan was still in the Saint Sword Sect, it was rare to see them. These people appeared and disappeared unpredictably! While the 10 zealots were within the Saint Sword Sect, they were people who did dirty work! These people were all from the Saint Sword Sect, and they would remain as people of Saint Sword Sect even in death. They were the absolute pawns that the Grand Elder of the Saint Sword Sect had raised! These ten people only listened to the Grand Elder and his daughter, Lin Xuerou. As for the eight commanders, Lin Xuan was someone they were familiar with! One of the eight commanders walked out. His name was Lin Sen, and he said with a cold smile, ¡°You¡¯re really lucky. However, you can¡¯t afford to court death like this. Since you escaped from the Saint Sword Sect and didn¡¯t die, why did you come back? Do you know that we had our eyes on you the moment you returned to the Heavenly Flame Empire?!¡± This Lin Sen had once been one of Lin Xuan¡¯s good friends! However, after Lin Xuan had fallen, even though Lin Sen hadn¡¯t abused Lin Xuan as much as Zhang Long had, he had still made things difficult for him! ¡°I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t know that the Saint Sword Sect has already issued a Blood Slaughter Order on you. We have eyes all over the entire Heavenly Flame Kingdom. As long as you appear in the country, we will discover you. Do you think we won¡¯t be able to see you if you disguise yourself as a businessman?¡± Lin Sen was so excited that his saliva was flying all over the place. It was as though finding Lin Xuan was an extremely lucky thing for him. Lin Xuan¡¯s face was getting colder by the second. By the looks of it, the eight commanders were all out to kill him. Seemed like this was Lin Xuerou¡¯s order. Lin Xuan sighed. ¡°It seems like you guys were responsible for the death of the old sect master¡­¡± Lin Xuan still remembered that it was the old sect master who had taken him in as a disciple of the Saint Sword Sect. At that time, the Saint Sword Sect was still flourishing with people. However, three years ago, the old sect master suddenly disappeared. Since then, the Saint Sword Sect was no longer the same! Lin Sen sneered, as if mocking Lin Xuan¡¯s ignorance. ¡°Hahahaha, that old bastard deserved to die! You¡¯re right, it was the Great Elder and the Sect Master who killed the old Sect Master with our cooperation!¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t know this, Lin Xuan. Actually, there are many elders in the sect who do not wish for you to die. It¡¯s just that Miss Lin Xuerou has personally issued a Blood Slaughter Order on you.¡± ¡°As long as we can kill you, we will be able to obtain a generous reward!¡± The other leader was also an old acquaintance of Lin Xuan¡¯s. His name was Chen Ang, and he smiled maliciously as he said, ¡°So, my old friend, this time you will still die in our hands, and we will be rewarded! This is a rare and wonderful thing!¡± Lin Xuan asked curiously, ¡°In that case, I would like to know, how much is my head worth?¡± ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll let you know since you¡¯re about to die. Miss Xue Rou said that as long as your head is cut off, we will be rewarded with one million Spirit Stones and we can become an inner elder. If your heart is removed, we will be rewarded with one million Spirit Stones and become an inner elder. If your limbs are chopped off, we will be rewarded with five hundred thousand Spirit Stones and become an outer elder! ¡°That¡¯s why your cheap life is still very valuable!¡± Another Saint Sword Sect disciple said, ¡°There¡¯s another thing that I think I have to tell you now. The day after tomorrow is Young Mistress Xue Rou and the Young Sect Master of the Green Leaf Sect¡¯s wedding¡­ And the few of us also plan to give Young Mistress Xue Rou some gifts. Your head is the best gift!¡± Hearing these words, Lin Xuan slowly shook his head. ¡°I thought that you guys still had a shred of humanity left in you. But now, it seems like I was wrong. Completely wrong!¡± Currently, Lin Xuan¡¯s hands were trembling with rage! ¡°Hahaha, looks like you finally know fear!¡± Lin Sen laughed maliciously. He was extremely arrogant, as if Lin Xuan knew he was going to die and was afraid! Lin Xuan shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m just so excited that I¡¯m about to die! You inhumane beasts, it¡¯s finally time for you to go to hell!¡± As these words were spoken, the entire audience fell into a deathly silence. Everyone looked at Lin Xuan as if they were looking at a fool. Was this man crazy? ¡°Hahahaha!! Kill us?¡± Lin Sen laughed maniacally. ¡°Lin Xuan, are you scared silly?¡± However, just as he finished speaking, he heard a ripping sound. His voice stopped, and his smile froze on his face! His body didn¡¯t move at all. It was as if he had frozen. It wasn¡¯t just him; even Chen Ang and the other commanders beside him seemed to have frozen! ¡°Commander Lin Sen?¡± one of the subordinates behind him asked cautiously. Right after he finished speaking, a clang resounded as Lin Sen¡¯s head fell off his body, followed by Chen Ang¡¯s head. The remaining heads of the other commanders rolled down as well! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Their heads were like dominoes. One by one, they fell to the ground. Blood sprayed onto the spot! There were over 10 of them, and it was especially so for Lin Sen. Fresh blood sprayed from his headless corpse like a fountain! ¡°Oh my god¡­ All eight commanders are dead!¡± Everyone present was dumbfounded. Then, a bone-chilling cold crept over their bodies. Lin Xuan asked coldly, ¡°You people, why do you want to harm me?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed at the air and threw out a sword aura. With a sudden swing, the heads of the four protectors flew out! ¡°I have no grievances with you in the past, nor do I have any enmity with you in the past, yet all of you want to kill me!¡± Another piercing sound rang out, and all the disciples of the Saint Sword Sect present were dumbstruck! ¡°Heavens!!!¡± Countless disciples and guards cried out. Even the four protectors and eight protectors had their heads chopped off by Lin Xuan, causing everyone to scream out in pain. They were scared out of their wits, as if they had seen a monster. Their nerves were on the verge of breaking down! However, before they could react, their necks were all cut open, and their heads fell off. In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire alley was silent. On the faces of those who had died, frozen expressions of fear, shock, and disbelief were twisted to the extreme! Even at the brink of death, they could not believe that what they were facing was actually real! ¡°Hah¡­¡± Lin Xuan let out a long sigh as he looked into the distance. Slowly, he said, ¡°Looks like it¡¯s time to return to the Saint Sword Sect. There are some debts that need to be settled, and there are some people that need to be killed!¡± At this moment, the Saint Sword Sect of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom was exceptionally lively. It was an extremely important day for the entire Saint Sword Sect. This was because the Saintess, Lin Xuerou, was going to marry the young master of the Green Leaf Sect! For this wedding, they had invited thousands and thousands of reputable people from the surrounding empires and families! What kind of genius was Xue Rou? Chapter 36 - Its Time to Settle Some Debts Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At 18 years of age, he had already reached the Stygian Realm. Not only that, but his progress was extremely fast. It was even possible that he would break through to the Divine Sea Realm before 30 years of age and enter the Sacred Solar Realm before 100 years of age. As for the young master of the Green Leaf Sect, he was already at the late stages of the Stygian Realm. It was only a matter of time before he stepped into the Divine Sea Realm and became a grandmaster! It could even be said that in less than a hundred years, the Heavenly Flame Kingdom would definitely be ranked amongst the super empires! The main hall of the Saint Sword Sect had gathered countless disciples and elders. All the core members of the Saint Sword Sect were gathered here, including the sect masters of the other factions. In the center of the banquet sat a young girl. She wore a long green dress, and her gorgeous face looked even more stunning under the light! Because of her years of cultivation, Lin Xuerou¡¯s figure was extremely perfect, and she wasn¡¯t as delicate and charming as other an ordinary women. On the contrary, her disposition was like that of a celestial being. It even caused many people from the surrounding sects to look at her and sigh incessantly! The current Holy Maiden of the Saint Sword Sect, Lin Xuerou, was truly a celestial maiden! ¡°This Lin Xuerou is indeed one of the top ten beauties in the Heavenly Flame Kingdom. She has such looks at such a young age, and her temperament is so extraordinary!¡± ¡°The Holy Maiden is a prodigy of her generation. She is worthy of the young master of the Green Leaf Sect. This is truly a golden opportunity¡­¡± ¡°With such a beauty, if I can get engaged to him, I am willing to lose ten years of my life!¡± In the midst of these discussions, Lin Xuerou gently combed her hair. Looking at her own face in the mirror, she asked worriedly, ¡°Is there any news from the people we sent out? I don¡¯t want to see Lin Xuan alive!¡± To the current her, the top bloodline within her was Lin Xuan¡¯s. In the past, she had even considered Lin Xuan as her own brother. Right now, she viewed this as her greatest stain. She had to completely erase this. She was young and ignorant back then, and she didn¡¯t know that in this world, status and strength were the most important! As long as she could marry the young master of the Green Leaf Sect, she would be able to enjoy the most core resources of the two sects. As for Lin Xuan, he was only an inner sect disciple with a bit of talent. What could he bring Lin Xuerou? Reputation or status? Strength or resources? There was nothing he would not do. In this world, there was no lack of such things. However, there were some foolish young men who believed themselves to be the chosen ones due to their talents! ¡°Holy Lady, please rest assured. I heard that the trash, Lin Xuan, disguised himself as a merchant. Now that he has been discovered by us, we should be able to reveal his head to you within the next two days!¡± A female disciple beside the Lin Xuerou said with a smile! Although Lin Xuerou only smiled faintly, she was also overjoyed! It was already late at night, and the wedding banquet of the Saint Sword Sect had officially begun. Rows of red lanterns dyed the streets around the Saint Sword Sect red. Right at this moment, a heroic figure slowly walked out from the end of the outer streets of the Saint Sword Sect. He strode towards the entrance of the Saint Sword Sect. All one could see was a figure wearing green clothes with a golden gourd hanging from his waist! This person was Lin Xuan! As Lin Xuan approached, the Heavenly Thunder Calabash on his waist seemed to sense the rage burning in his heart. Weng, weng, weng! It began to tremble violently, emitting rings of golden light! Lin Xuan patted the gourd on his waist and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the show is starting soon!¡± At this moment, the members of the Saint Sword Sect were completely unaware. A group of outer court disciples and elders were drinking happily in the outer court. They were all laughing and chatting happily and were completely unaware that death was at hand! With a creak, the door was slowly pushed open by someone! ¡°Who is that outside?¡± Being disturbed by outsiders, one of the elders was enraged. He turned his head and saw the door was open. Standing outside was Lin Xuan! ¡°Lin Xuan? Lin Xuan?¡± At this moment, the elder¡¯s face was filled with confusion! ¡°You piece of trash, how dare you come back!¡± Lin Xuan frowned when he heard the elder¡¯s words. ¡°How noisy!¡± As he said that, Lin Xuan patted the golden gourd on his waist. With a buzzing sound, a golden beam of light shot out from the gourd, turning into a golden sword qi that shot forth. With a ripping sound, that golden sword qi drew a circle on that elder¡¯s neck! With a bang, that elder¡¯s body trembled slightly. Gulp, gulp. His head instantly fell down and rolled in front of the courtyard¡¯s door! Lin Xuan kicked the head away. ¡°One.¡± ¡°Lin Xuan, you piece of trash, how dare you to come back and kill an elder of my sect!!¡± Another elder rushed over with a towering rage! ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he pointed with his finger once more, and with another crack, another flick of his finger, a red hole instantly appeared on the old man, causing him to instantly die! ¡°Two!¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s voice spread throughout the entire outer sect! This time, all the other outer sect disciples were dumbfounded. They had just seen a demon return! ¡°One, two!¡± Lin Xuan flicked his fingers and killed two outer sect elders. However, there was no expression on his face as he continued walking forwards! ¡°Lin Xuan! Lin Xuan!¡± How could the countless disciples, elders, and guards not recognize Lin Xuan? He was once a core disciple of the Saint Sword Sect, and he possessed a top bloodline as well. He even had the qualifications to become a saint of the sect. But later on, his bloodline vanished, and he was completely reduced to a piece of trash. At the beginning, everyone was extremely friendly towards Lin Xuan! After everyone knew that the upper echelons of the Saint Sword Sect had abandoned Lin Xuan, the only thing that awaited Lin Xuan was a cold, mocking, and mocking smile! Drip, drip, drip. The entire courtyard was very quiet. There was only the sound of blood dripping on the ground and the rolling heads of the two elders. This scene was extremely shocking! ¡°Not good, hurry up and run!¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s cold gaze swept across the group of people before him. He could even call out their names! ¡°Zhang San, when you entered the sect all those years ago, you were only a nominal disciple. Because you were discovered stealing the sect¡¯s secret technique, you were nearly driven out. It was I who pleaded with the sect elders to save you! ¡°Lin Hai, back when you were seriously injured, you were just an outer sect disciple. Originally, you weren¡¯t qualified to consume Inner Sect medicinal pills, but I secretly gave them to you. That¡¯s why you didn¡¯t lose your cultivation base and become permanently disabled! ¡°Lin Qiang, when you were out on a mission, you were almost surrounded and killed. Who led the team to save you? It was me!¡± ¡°And the two of you, Wang Qiang and Zhou Kai¡­¡± Lin Xuan said coldly. He could call out the names of every elder in front of him.. He might not have been as generous when it came to everyone else, but he had done what he had to do as a senior brother! Chapter 37 - Three Hundred and Two Peoples Lives Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The expressions on these people¡¯s faces were naturally quite ugly, and their faces were full of shame! ¡°How did you repay kindness with ingratitude?¡± ¡°When I was down and out, none of you stood up to help me. When I was sent to the outer sect, you outer sect elders and disciples didn¡¯t even arrange a decent place for me to live. You let a severely injured person like me live in a straw hut! ¡°In the end, you guys didn¡¯t even give me any food, leaving me to fend for myself. Say¡­ how could you guys not die?¡± As Lin Xuan finished speaking, under the fearful gazes of countless people, he waved his hand once more. With a ripping sound, a golden light shot out from the Heavenly Thunder Calabash around Lin Xuan¡¯s waist. As the golden light burst forth, it transformed into a golden beam of light. The men rushed towards Lin Xuan! In the blink of an eye, all the figures in front of Lin Xuan froze. Immediately after, blood-red lines appeared on their necks! The blood-red lines became thicker and thicker, and with a ripping sound, blood spurted out into the sky! The heads fell one after another as if they had agreed on it! ¡°You, how dare you!¡± The elders were shocked and furious. However, just as they were about to speak, they suddenly felt something wet on their necks. It was blood! Clang! Following that, those few people, as well as the other people in the courtyard who were planning to escape, were horrified! There were even a few people who pissed their pants on the spot. All of them stopped as though time had stopped! ¡°Retrieve!¡± Lin Xuan called out softly. The golden sword of light in the air returned to the Heavenly Thunder Calabash. One by one, heads fell to the ground. There were at least two to three hundred of them! Blood splattered across the entire courtyard! ¡°Hmph, 302!¡± When the last person¡¯s head fell to the ground, the entire outer sect was instantly quiet. With just one glance, he had killed all 302 core elders and disciples of the Saint Sword Sect. He had only killed the entire outer sect until blood flowed like rivers! Inside the inner sect¡¯s courtyard, it was still as lively as before. They were completely unaware of what was happening outside! This was the core area of the entire Saint Sword Sect, and it included all the core disciples and elders. A few elders of the Saint Sword Sect were seated around a table! ¡°I heard that an Immortal Lin has recently appeared in our Eastern Wasteland!¡± a seductive woman suddenly said. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± At the mention of this name, the other inner court disciples became interested as well. ¡°I heard that in the mystic realm, Immortal Lin actually killed the chosen ones of the three super empires, as well as the two Sacred Solar Realm martial grandmasters of the Holy Glory Empire. In the end, he just left. He¡¯s really a god!¡± ¡°The current Holy Glory Empire has suffered great losses and has become a medium-sized empire. It is said that their enemies have come knocking on their doors. The current Holy Glory Empire can be said to be in a state of misery and suffering!¡± ¡°This is too scary. All the surrounding empires know about the rumors about Immortal Lin!¡± At this time, another elder laughed. ¡°Two days ago, our four protectors sent a message back saying that they had found that cripple! Haha, think about how Miss Lin Xuerou will deal with Lin Xuan and let him die!¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t know who would be lucky enough to catch him. It¡¯s said that his head is worth a million spirit stones!¡± The elder who spoke was called Bai Tao. He was also a respected elder in the inner sect. Although he might not be very virtuous, he was still an elder with very high status. He was also a subordinate of the old sect master back then. However, after the old sect master was killed, he followed the current Great Elder! Clang! Clang! Clang! As they were speaking, someone knocked on the inner sect¡¯s door twice! Elder Bai Tao, who was closest to the door, cursed! However, when he stood up and opened the door, he was completely dumbfounded. ¡°It¡¯s actually¡­ it¡¯s actually¡­¡± Lin Xuan opened his mouth and said, ¡°Elder Bai Tao, how have you been? You should recognize me, Lin Xuan! ¡°However, I have a new identity now. I am the Immortal Lin that you all speak of!¡± Lin Xuan flicked his finger and tapped Elder Bai Tao¡¯s head. With a loud bang, Elder Bai Tao¡¯s head exploded like a rotten watermelon. His body flew more than ten meters away. With a loud explosion, he turned into a pile of meat paste and died on the spot! The lively scene that had just taken place suddenly quieted down! With a loud bang, Elder Bai Tao was killed by Lin Xuan with a single finger. His body was sent flying dozens of meters away, turning into a pile of meat paste! He died on the spot! This was too fast! Everyone in the inner court thought: It was too fast! Bai Tao had just opened the door a second ago, but in the next second, he turned into a corpse. Ah, it was more accurate to say that it was a pile of mush! ¡°Lin¡­ Lin Xuan?¡± At this moment within the inner court, countless elders and disciples felt as if they had seen a demon! ¡°How are you still alive? You¡¯re actually not dead!¡± ¡°How is this possible?¡± If the elders remembered correctly, the four protectors, the eight commanders, and the ten zealots had all gone to kill Lin Xuan! How could they have survived the encirclement of so many people? ¡°Indeed, I, Lin Xuan, am also very curious. You guys wanted to kill me so badly, how did I end up here?¡± Lin Xuan asked as he walked towards the courtyard. He casually picked a banquet and sat down! Lin Xuan smiled as he picked up a cup of wine, downing it in one gulp. His face was still as expressionless as ever! It was as if he had truly come to attend the banquet, as if he had treated everyone from the Saint Sword Sect as family! ¡°What are you all standing there for? Everyone should eat and drink. Don¡¯t worry about me, I just came back to catch up with you all and attend my little sister Lin Xuerou¡¯s wedding!¡± Hearing Lin Xuan¡¯s words, all of the inner court elders present didn¡¯t dare to act recklessly. They looked at Lin Xuan with fear written all over their faces! They didn¡¯t believe that Lin Xuan was just here to reminisce about the past. Elder Bai Tao had a perfected Stygian Realm cultivation and could be considered an expert in the entire sect. However, he didn¡¯t even have the chance to scream before he was blasted into meat paste! The lively atmosphere instantly fell to the freezing point.. Chapter 38 - Complete Annihilation of the Inner Sect Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Hmph!¡± Just at this moment, a female inner sect elder sitting across from the banquet coldly smiled. That female elder looked to be around forty years old and could be considered a standard beauty. She looked at Lin Xuan with a cold smile. ¡°How can a forsaken disciple of our sect be allowed to attend Miss Xue Rou¡¯s wedding? Hurry up and kneel down! If you dare to kill someone in the Saint Sword Sect, you will have to pay the price!¡± The female elder¡¯s name was Chen Yan, and she had just entered the inner court not too long ago. At this moment, she did not sense the strange atmosphere within the inner court. She had thought that she could rely on the prestige of the Saint Sword Sect to berate Lin Xuan and establish her might amongst the inner court disciples! ¡°Shut up, Chen Yan. You¡¯re just a newly promoted elder. What right do you have to say such things?¡± At this moment, the Sect Elder Ma Kun, who was standing at the side, had an ugly expression on his face. This Lin Xuan had clearly returned to the Saint Sword Sect to seek revenge! Wasn¡¯t this Chen Yan courting death by saying such words? After saying that, Ma Kun hurriedly cupped his hands towards Lin Xuan and apologized, ¡°Immortal Lin, Chen Yan is just an ignorant woman. She lacks knowledge. She doesn¡¯t know how to speak and has offended you. Please don¡¯t hold it against her!¡± Lin Xuan paid no attention to Ma Kun, and his expression didn¡¯t change in the slightest. He just placed the wine cup in his hand on the table and gazed at Chen Yan with an indeterminate expression as he asked. ¡°I really don¡¯t know what sort of price I have to pay!¡± ¡°You, you!¡± Chen Yan hadn¡¯t expected Lin Xuan to turn around and ask her this question. She was rendered speechless! ¡°Since you can¡¯t answer me, then let me tell you what the price of speaking too much is. That is death!¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s voice had just fallen when he flicked his finger once more, sending out another strike! With another ripping sound, a blood-red sword energy pierced through Chen Yan¡¯s neck, leaving behind a massive red hole! With a loud crash, Chen Yan fell to the ground, dead on the spot! That Chen Yan was Elder Ma Kun¡¯s woman, but now that he saw Lin Xuan¡¯s godly abilities, his entire body trembled, unable to utter a single word! ¡°My god!¡± Following Elder Chen Yan¡¯s death, the entire inner court courtyard exploded into an uproar. Everyone was terrified to the point of almost fainting! Lin Xuan frowned as he continued, ¡°Didn¡¯t I already say that everyone should eat and drink? If you don¡¯t give me any face then don¡¯t blame me for being rude!¡± ¡°All of you, quiet down!¡± After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he spread open his fingers and slammed them down on the table, causing the wine table to be sent flying! Bang! In that instant, Lin Xuan¡¯s golden gourd trembled slightly, and then a sharp whistling sound erupted! Next, a golden sword light flew into the sky and turned into a golden ray of light that quickly flew into the crowd! In the blink of an eye, it drew a circle on everyone¡¯s neck! Then, the golden light returned to the gourd! The inner sect elders who were making a racket and preparing to leave in fear sat down again! They tilted their heads like puppets and did not move! Lin Xuan sighed and said, ¡°Originally, I came back this time to reminisce about old times, ask for a few cups of wine, and listen to a few songs. Wouldn¡¯t that be wonderful? What¡¯s the point of doing this? It really makes my heart ache!¡± Although that was what he said, the moment he finished speaking, the heads of all those sitting around the table fell to the ground! Lin Xuan had slashed out with his sword, decapitating everyone in the inner court! He smiled as he looked towards the grand hall not too far away, muttering to himself, ¡°Next is the main event!¡± Lin Xuan had only used a single sword strike to wipe out the entire inner sect! Lin Xuan kept his longsword and was just about to leave when he heard the sound of dripping water from a nearby table. Along with the smell of urine, he turned around and saw Elder Ma Kun lying on the ground, trembling. Seeing that Lin Xuan had already discovered him, Elder Ma Kun¡¯s voice began to tremble. ¡°Spare me, Immortal Lin! Spare me! It was the Saint Sword Sect who harmed you! I had nothing to do with your previous abuse!¡± It was only then that Lin Xuan realized that Elder Ma Kun was kneeling on the floor beneath the table. His entire body was trembling. He was completely dumbfounded. It had only taken Lin Xuan a few seconds to kill over three hundred elders and disciples. This was simply a demon. The God of Death was crazily reaping lives! Lin Xuan nodded his head and said, ¡°Indeed, you weren¡¯t amongst the people who abused me back then!¡± Elder Ma Kun was overjoyed at Lin Xuan¡¯s words. He even believed that he had been saved. However, Lin Xuan¡¯s next words caused him to feel an incomparable despair! Lin Xuan said slowly, ¡°However, you were the one who suggested for me to be expelled from the sect, so you deserve to die!¡± ¡°What?¡± This time, Ma Kun was completely dumbfounded. He looked up at Lin Xuan. At this time, Lin Xuan was calm and unhurried, without a single trace of the past! Ma Kun¡¯s legs trembled as he kowtowed. However, the moment he kowtowed, he never lifted his head again! It fell from his neck! At this moment, within the Central Hall of the Divine Temple, the wedding banquet had already been held until the wee hours of the morning, yet there was no intention of stopping. On the contrary, the atmosphere was getting more and more heated. Within the main hall, the young master of the Green Leaf Sect, Qing Tianyang, and Lin Xuerou had become the main focus. Lin Xuerou was dressed in a white dress. Paired with her top-grade looks and her cheeks that were slightly red from her drunken state, she was even more charming! Qing Tianyang was also wearing a white robe. He carried a long sword on his back. It was a level-eight secret treasure. It was the heirloom of their Green Leaf Sect. He always carried it with him. He was young and handsome and could be considered a hero of a region! Sitting beside the two of them was the sect master of the Saint Sword Sect, Xu Lei, the Grand Elder of the Saint Sword Sect, Lin Aofeng, and the leader representative of the Green Leaf Sect,Qing Xuanzi. It could be said that these few people present were all top figures in the entire Heavenly Flame Empire! ¡°Sect Master Qing, have you heard of a famous Immortal Lin recently?¡± the sect master asked at the banquet. ¡°Of course I¡¯ve heard of that person. However, the level of that Immortal is still too far away from us!¡± Qing Xuanzi replied. According to the rumors, that Immortal Lin could spit out lightning and instantly kill a Divine Sea Realm powerhouse.. With a sword light, he could chop off the head of a Sacred Solar Realm martial grandmaster! Chapter 39 - Gift Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations His name had spread throughout the entire world! Upon hearing the rumored Immortal Lin, even Lin Xuerou¡¯s expression changed slightly. After all, who wouldn¡¯t want to know more about an expert of this level? ¡°I heard that Immortal Lin isn¡¯t from the Holy Land. He has the cultivation of a Divine Sea Mirror grandmaster at such a young age and can even kill a Sacred Solar Realm martial grandmaster!¡± ¡°Compared to this person, what is a Saintess of an unremarkable empire like me?¡± Lin Xuerou yearned for that Immortal Lin. After all, that kind of prodigy would be extremely dazzling in the future. However, she knew that that kind of immortal would be very far away from her! ¡°Oh right, Xuerou, I heard that you have an older brother who has been good to you since you were young. He even saved your life. Why isn¡¯t he here today?¡± Lin Xuerou smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°Those are just rumors. It¡¯s just that we were close when we were young. However, our backgrounds are too different. Now that we¡¯re older, we naturally drift apart. I really don¡¯t know where he is now.¡± Inwardly, Lin Xuerou thought, ¡°He¡¯s probably already dead. After all, I sent out the four protectors, the eight great commanders, and the ten zealots. He won¡¯t be able to escape death. As for saving my life, hmph, in my opinion, he¡¯s just someone who wants to punch above one¡¯s weight!¡± However, at this moment, someone knocked on the door of the hall. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the Holy Daughter of the Saint Sword Sect, Lin Xuerou, is having a grand wedding with the young master of the Green Leaf Sect today. I, Lin Xuan, have come to send you off with a grand gift!¡± Lin Xuan? And a grand gift? The moment they heard this name, the entire great hall burst into an uproar! ¡°Lin Xuan, that cripple, didn¡¯t he die in the back mountain? Why is he back today?¡± All the members of the Saint Sword Sect who were present could not make heads or tails of what was going on. Immediately, discussions broke out all around! As for Lin Xuerou, her expression turned incomparably dark. How was this possible? She had already sent out so many powerhouses to assassinate Lin Xuan. How could he still be alive?! ¡°Hmph! He¡¯s just a discarded pawn. My Saint Sword Sect doesn¡¯t welcome him, yet he still dares to return today!¡± At this moment, the sect master of the Saint Sword Sect, Xu Lei, had an extremely cold expression on his face! Today was such an important day and countless sects of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom were gathered here. How dare a piece of trash like him to come back? Wasn¡¯t this embarrassing him? ¡°But since he brought a gift back, let him come in. Tell him to scram immediately after handing over the gift!¡± Xu Lei said indignantly! Following that, the door to the main hall opened and a figure walked in. He was dressed in green clothes and had a huge golden gourd hanging on his waist. He walked in calmly with an indifferent expression! ¡°Lin Xuan! Lin Xun! You¡¯re actually fine!¡± Lin Xuerou looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief as her voice began to tremble. For some unknown reason, she suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this Lin Xuan. Not only that, he was a stranger to her. Lin Xuan ignored Lin Xuerou and tossed out the ring in his hand! ¡°The congratulatory gift is inside, please take a look, Sect Master!¡± After speaking, the ring flashed in midair, and then bloody heads rolled out one after another! There were over a hundred of them! ¡°My god!¡± When they saw those bloody heads, everyone present was terrified to the point of crying out in shock, whereas the sect master of the Saint Sword Sect, Xu Lei, was completely dumbstruck, and his expression started to become even more warped! ¡°That¡¯s the Grand Protector Sun Kai, that¡¯s the Grand Commander Lin Sen, that¡¯s the Second Commander Chen Ang!¡± These heads belonged to those who had been sent by Lin Xuerou to assassinate Lin Xuan! This included almost all of the elite disciples! ¡°My four protectors and eight commanders are all dead?!¡± When the Great Elder saw this scene, his heart ached so much that tears almost flowed out! The Grand Elder was on the verge of going completely insane. These people were the core strengths of his Saint Sword Sect. He had spent years of painstaking effort and resources to nurture them, yet they were all dead! This was a devastating blow to the entire Saint Sword Sect! ¡°How is it? Are you satisfied with my gift?¡± Lin Xuan¡¯s voice was as calm as ever, spreading throughout the entire hall. The entire hall fell into a strange silence! The Great Elder had truly gone mad. After these people died, the status of their Saint Sword Sect would be affected. They would completely lose their status as one of the three great sects of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom. They might even become a third-grade sect! The most shocked person in the crowd was Lin Xuerou. At this moment, her brows were furrowed as she gritted her teeth and shouted out to Lin Xuan, ¡°Lin Xuan! Did you kill all these people?¡± Lin Xuan nodded his head, as if nothing had happened. ¡°So what if it¡¯s me?¡± Disbelief was written all over Lin Xuerou¡¯s face, and her delicate body was trembling non-stop! This was simply impossible! Lin Xuan was just a cripple; how could he have killed so many masters from the Saint Sword Sect!? A vicious expression appeared on Lin Xuerou¡¯s face as she coldly ordered, ¡°Someone, hurry up and kill him! He killed so many people from our Saint Sword Sect! We must eliminate him!¡± Hearing Lin Xuerou¡¯s command, several elders of the Saint Sword Sect flew out from the hall and rushed towards Lin Xuan! Lin Xuan¡¯s gaze was as if he was looking at an idiot. Shaking his head, he sighed, ¡°It seems that you still don¡¯t understand!¡± With that said, Lin Xuan made a grabbing motion in the air, and a surge of blood energy burst forth! Looking at the elders and disciples in the Saint Sword Sect, all of them had sinister expressions on their faces. They had treated Lin Xuan as a thorn in their side. Blood energy surged within Lin Xuan¡¯s body. With a flick of his finger, it gathered into a blood blade. With a ripping sound, countless blood blades shot out, as if they were a zither. In front of Lin Xuan, a blood-red line shot out, weaving through the air like a spider web! Just this single blood blade had pierced into the body of an elder that was rushing over! ¡°Second Elder, your legs and waist!¡± A disciple of the Saint Sword Sect by his side had a savage expression as he spoke with a trembling voice. This was because he noticed that Second Elder¡¯s legs and waist had actually started to evaporate into thin air! In the end, his entire body had vanished into thin air from his limbs to his torso! Only a wisp of red smoke was left in the air, as if this person had never existed in this world! ¡°What¡­ what kind of sorcery is this?¡± The sect leader of the Saint Sword Sect, Xu Lei, and the Grand Elder, Lin Aofeng, were also sweating profusely! A living person had evaporated right in front of them. This was beyond their imagination! Lin Xuan walked forward step by step in the great hall as he slowly said in a cold and bone-piercing voice, ¡°You people are too cruel. I have always been a kind person, always helping others. Even if it was an ant, I wouldn¡¯t have the heart to trample it to death. I only hope that this world can be peaceful. I only hope that I can cultivate well and marry and have children. What wrong have I done? You all caused me to lose my top bloodline and even expelled me!¡± The more Lin Xuan spoke, the angrier he became. Even his entire body began to tremble from the overwhelming rage he felt!
