Hearing the transmission, Lin Dong's eyes lit up. He retreated into the forest amid the crowd's distraction, donned the black robe suit, stepped on the Ice Profound Sword, and flew low to pursue the injured Wang Yan.
Lin Xuan continued one against two, six flying swords trapping the gray-robed elder and Qin Shi.
He swallowed a pill, spiritual power surging. Three swords formed the Heaven Sword Array, countless spiritual sword qi besieging the elder. Lin Xuan also set a mission to defeat the Wang elder in his mind.
Under Lin Xuan's fierce assault, the gray-robed elder retreated steadily.
Seeing Wang Yan gone, the elder disengaged, fleeing swiftly, leaving Qin Shi to bear the pressure.
"Damn!"
Qin Shi cursed inwardly. Already injured, the Wind Luan Bird's aid let him barely hold on, but with the elder gone, he was doomed.
[Mission: Hunt the Wind Luan Bird. Reward: One bag of eighth-grade Yao Ling Dan.]
Lin Xuan drew the Xiao Yu Sword, unleashing a major move—a Jade and Stone Annihilation strike, piercing the Wind Luan Bird's body with a golden beam.
One sword ended the Wind Luan Bird's life!
"Roar!"
Qing Tianpeng finally flew over, excitedly clawing the falling Wind Luan Bird.
Without aid, Qin Shi lost resistance; six swords aimed at him, leaving him breathless.
"Stop! Lin Xuan, don't kill me. Killing me, the Qin Clan won't let you off."
Qin Shi shouted, face pale, swallowing nervously.
He was truly scared, regretting coming.
Rushing to break the seal, charging into the tomb, trapped in the fire sea array and scorched half-dead, gaining nothing. Worse, humiliated before goddess Ling Qingzhu. The matter settled, but a verbal spat led to conflict with Lin Xuan, embarrassing himself and costing the family's Wind Luan Bird.
Now, the instigators Lin Langtian and Wang Yan escaped unscathed, leaving him the unluckiest!
"Just for words, no need to kill, right!" Qin Shi licked his lips, softening. "I apologize; I was blind, shouldn't have joined in belittling you."
"You killed my Wind Luan Bird; isn't that enough? I swear, let me go, and the Qin Clan won't pursue this."
He feared Lin Xuan might kill him recklessly. Even if the clan avenged him later, it'd be too late.
"Leave your Qiankun Bag, and spare your life!" Lin Xuan said indifferently.
Killing wasn't worthwhile; profit was key.
Killing Qin Shi would utterly offend the Qin Clan, possibly drawing their Nirvana Realm patriarch for revenge.
The four clans' patriarchs were Nirvana Realm experts; Lin Xuan couldn't afford that yet.
So, not worth it!
Robbing some items might bring Creation Realm pursuers, manageable.
Moderate hatred, moderate aggro for missions—avoid bosses.
"Good!"
Qin Shi gritted his teeth, painfully handing over the Qiankun Bag.
"Scram. Next time you oppose me, the Wind Luan Bird's fate awaits you."
Lin Xuan took the Qiankun Bag, withdrawing the swords.
"Thanks!" Qin Shi bowed obediently, then fled quickly.
Lin Xuan smirked. Defeated foes like Qin Shi posed no threat; next encounter, he'd be the one they looked up to.
Seeing Qin Shi slink away, the crowd below sighed.
Earlier, Lin Langtian, Wang Yan, and Qin Shi dominated the scene, arrogant and domineering, as if from another world.
Emerging from the tomb, crushed by Lin Xuan like dogs fleeing—previously boastful, now pathetic.
Lin Xuan, however, drew gazes of awe!
One against three, crushing three clan geniuses!
After this battle, Lin Xuan's name would spread across the Great Yan Dynasty, causing a sensation!
Lin Xuan swallowed another handful of pills, steadily replenishing the energy he had expended.
Only then did he descend gracefully, rejoining the group from the Myriad Gold Chamber of Commerce.
"Brother Lin Xuan, that was incredible!"
Qing Tan, perched atop Little Flame, stared at him with wide, sparkling eyes full of admiration.
She didn't fully understand why he had clashed with those people, but the sheer dominance he displayed....utterly crushing the most celebrated geniuses of the Great Yan Dynasty....left no room for doubt. His brilliance spoke for itself.
Even Xia Wanjin's attitude had shifted. The appreciation in his eyes was now laced with unmistakable reverence.
Before this, he had treated Lin Xuan as an equal. Now, he wouldn't dream of it.
The power Lin Xuan had revealed demanded respect....even the City Lord had never insp
ired such awe in him.
"You've made enemies of all three great clans this time," Xuan Su said softly, a trace of worry creasing her brow.
As a mature and thoughtful woman who cared deeply for Lin Xuan, she couldn't help but see the danger lurking beneath his triumph.
