In the distance, there were countless martial artists rushing over in a frenzy, surrounding the area so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
The five black-clothed men sneered, and one of them, a tall man, shouted coldly and attacked.
Immediately, the five of them attacked the core elder in front of them.
The great battle erupted, and it was abnormally intense. The core elder of the Duan family was full of confidence. But very soon, he let out a cry of surprise: "You guys are actually all ninth level Supremacies!"
He was simply too shocked, to think that the five people who killed him were actually all ninth level Supremacies. Although they were only at the initial ninth level, their strength was still very terrifying.
Under normal circumstances, a mid-stage ninth level martial artist could contend against three initial stage Supremacies, at most four. If there were five, they could not contend at all and could only retreat.
Now, the Duan family's elder was facing such a situation.
"Old man, today is the day you die!"
The five of them roared, erupting with energy that could tear heaven and earth.
After a great battle, the Duan family's core elder fought with all his strength, but he still could not escape and finally lost his life here.
Seeing the strongest core elder being killed, the surrounding martial artists were all scared out of their wits and fled one after another.
Similar things were happening in many places of the Duan family.
Of course, some succeeded, and some failed. But no matter what, the Duan family suffered heavy losses, and even a few core elders were killed.
For a time, it set off a huge uproar in the entire Tianwu continent.
The Duan family was incomparably furious, and fought back with all their might, but there were too many assassins, and they were very scattered, so the effect they achieved was minimal.
In the end, the Duan family had no choice but to recall all the important elders and martial artists.
However, they did not sit still and wait for death, but quickly sought an alliance, preparing to counterattack again.
For a time, there were also many forces that joined.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and the situation in Tianwu continent became more and more tense, while Lin Xuan's side was rather quiet.
With the help of the illusory array, Shen Jingqiu finally overcame her heart demon, and awakened the power of bloodline again.
And on Lin Xuan's side, he also successfully refined an armor.
That armor was bright red all over, emitting light, and engraved on it was very complicated and profound.
Lin Xuan tested it out and found that this armor alone could block 70% of the attacks.
In other words, if a Ninth Heaven Venerate attacked him, the armor would be able to block seventy percent of the attack. As for the remaining thirty percent, he could rely on his powerful body and defense to block it.
It had to be said that this was a good way to save one's life.
After coming out of seclusion, Lin Xuan called Yu Fei over and asked about the situation outside.
After learning about Qiang Kuang of the Duan Clan, he nodded in satisfaction.
Not bad. In a month's time, a few core elders of the Duan Clan were killed. However, these people were killed by different forces.
Therefore, no one had been able to gather the heads of three core elders, and no one had been able to exchange them for the Longevity Pill.
However, Lin Xuan was in no hurry.
It had only been a month. As time passed, someone would definitely succeed in a sneak attack.
"Where's the Ninth Elder?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Ninth Elder returned to War God Palace. I heard that he had something important to do." Yu Fei said.
"Returned to the Palace of Ares? Forget it. Let me know when he comes back. "
"Also, continue to monitor the Duan Clan's actions. If there's anything unusual, report to me immediately."
After arranging the following matters, Lin Xuan accompanied Shen Jingqiu to cultivate in the Immortal Martial Academy.
Shen Jingqiu had recovered her bloodline power, and her cultivation had also increased rapidly. Now, she had already reached the Fourth Heaven Venerate Realm.
Lin Xuan felt that the outside world was too chaotic, so he decided to let Shen Jingqiu cultivate in the Immortal Martial Academy. Anyway, it was very safe here, and the outside world couldn't attack.
Moreover, there were many people of the same age here, and they could interact with each other.
Shen Jingqiu happily agreed to this suggestion.
In the next few days, Lin Xuan continued to cultivate. Of course, the most important thing was still to cultivate Firmament Nine and Void Shattering Finger.
Now, he could already form two Void Shattering Finger, and he could use three types of seals with Firmament Transformation.
Not only that, but his cultivation had also been increasing. Now, he was about to reach the peak of the Venerable Realm.
Lin Xuan's side was going smoothly, but the Duan Clan didn't have it easy.
They were completely targeted, and now, they didn't even dare to leave their house.
Facing this situation, the Duan Clan's Patriarch and Martial Venerable could still keep calm and cultivate silently. However, Young Master Ling Feng couldn't tolerate it at all.
He was young and arrogant, and didn't put anyone in his eyes. But now, he was suppressed by a Seventh Heaven Venerate Realm brat to the point that he couldn't leave his house. This was a great humiliation to him.
Therefore, he decided to retaliate fiercely.
"Where is that brat now?" Young Master Ling Feng asked.
"Young Master, that brat is now in the Immortal Martial Academy. We can't enter at all."
"Damn that brat, he hid very well. But does he think he's safe now?!"
"Young Master Ling Feng's expression was cold. How many people can we mobilize?"
"Our Duan Clan's people are completely targeted, especially those core elders. I'm afraid that they will be assassinated the moment they leave."
"Moreover, Lin Xuan's side is definitely watching us, so we can't mobilize the forces of our Duan Clan." The subordinate said.
"In that case, only the subordinate clans and Skynet are left."
"Inform the assassins of the Eight Great Clans and Skynet to gather. Tell them that there's a mission for them." Young Master Ling Feng said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The subordinate's expression turned cold.
Young Master Ling Feng said in a deep voice, "Since that brat is hiding in Tianwu Academy, we'll lure him out."
"Young Master, you mean …"
"It's simple. Arrange three fake assassinations and spread the news that three of our core elders have been killed. After that, arrange for our men to bring the fake heads to exchange for Longevity Pills."
"Young Master, could it be that you want the Longevity Pills? But the other party will definitely check it. "
"Fool! I don't want the Longevity Pills. Can't you think of a way to lure that brat out and check the goods somewhere else? "
"When he falls into our trap, his life and death will be up to me."
"Young Master is wise. If that brat really falls into our trap, he's definitely dead."
"Remember, send more Ninth Heaven Venerate Realm experts. The Eighth Heaven Venerate Realm experts must be the elites. It's best if they can use combination formations."
"This time, we must succeed!"
"Yes!" The subordinate replied and left quickly.
Seeing his subordinate leave, a cruel smile appeared on Young Master Ling Feng's face.
"No one can make me suffer. Lin Xuan, you're the first. However, you'll have to pay a painful price for it!"
Following which, Young Master Ling Feng's plan began to unfold.
Soon, the news of the assassination of the core elders of the Duan Clan spread. There were even many cultivators who witnessed it.
