The Sword Tasting Assembly would be held tomorrow, but they had only sent an invitation today. For someone with a bit of status, this was an extremely rude action. It was as if they had caught someone to make up the numbers.
However, considering the tense relationship between Lin Xuan and the Sword Maste, it seemed to make sense.
"Dao Master, the Sword Maste's actions aren't sincere at all. How about this subordinate go in your place and see what the Sword Maste's intentions are," Yan Hui said.
"No need. I'll make the trip myself," Lin Xuan said. Lin Xuan frowned.
He bowed and dissuaded him, "Dao Master, this subordinate believes that it's not appropriate for you to go. The Sword Maste has recently been spreading unfavorable rumors about you, saying that you've colluded with the Dragons clan to harm fellow humans and bring chaos to the world. They've also called upon the entire martial arts world to punish you and view you as an enemy.
Today, the Sword Maste has invited you to the Sword Tasting Assembly, so they must have ulterior motives. If the Sword Maste sets an ambush, I'm afraid you'll be in danger! "
"It doesn't matter. I can avoid it for a while, but I can't avoid it forever. If I don't show myself, perhaps they'll be satisfied," Lin Xuan said with a faint smile.
Because of his misdirection, the Dragons clan and the Sword Maste had both suffered heavy losses. In a fit of anger, the Sword Maste had used their influence to spread many unfavorable rumors about him.
To the Lin Xuan of the past, these rumors wouldn't have hurt him and he wouldn't have paid them any mind.
But now, as the master of the Human Sovereign Sword, he needed to have a grand and upright image in order to gather the hearts of the people. He couldn't allow others to smear his name.
Otherwise, those old fellows from the Human Path would be disappointed in him.
Of course, the most important thing was that he had enough confidence in his own strength.
Now that his Golden Body had reached large success, he had the Human Sovereign Sword, the Dragon Sovereign Golden Book, the Ancient Bluestone Spear, and other divine weapons by his side, he had also refined the son of the Dragon God and cultivated the great ability Dragon God Transformation. His strength had reached a terrifying level.
It wasn't the slightest bit modest to say that as long as it wasn't a Divine Transformation realm powerhouse, he didn't fear them at all.
As for those at the Divine Transformation realm or above, he didn't fear them at all. This was because there would be those old freaks from the path of humanity to deal with them for him.
It was also because of this that Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel inflated.
However, when he quietly observed his martial arts fate, he suddenly raised an eyebrow.
After he made the decision to attend the Sword Tasting Conference, his martial fate quickly turned black and gray.
This undoubtedly meant that he would be doomed in the Sword Evaluation Assembly tomorrow, and it was even to the extent that his life might be in danger.
"Even when the Sword Maste was fighting against the Dragons clan, they didn't send out any heaven-defying experts, nor did they use any heaven-defying techniques. Could it be that they were deliberately holding back in order to deal with me?" Lin Xuan thought to himself.
When the Dragons clan and the Sword Maste were fighting, although he wasn't present, there were many spies from the Taiyi Path among the various forces that went to help the Sword Maste. This allowed him to know the entire process like the back of his hand.
According to the spies' reports, the Sword Maste didn't send out any peerless powerhouses from the beginning to the end. Although they took out several terrifying sword formations and killed countless Dragons clan members, and even killed two Dragon Kings, they still didn't surpass the fifth rank.
As for the Sword Maste's most famous Myriad Sword Demon Slaughtering Formation, he stole the Holy Ground scabbard that was used as the eye of the formation, so it wasn't able to display its power.
Lin Xuan really couldn't figure out how the Sword Maste would deal with him and threaten his life.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he would just have to do some divination.
Lin Xuan casually took out a hemp rope, closed his eyes, and began to skillfully tie knots.
The movements of his hands were natural and smooth, exuding a mysterious charm.
Yan Hui and Lin Fan only glanced at him curiously, but they felt dazzled and dizzy. Their faces were a little pale, and they hurriedly looked away.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
They could be considered rare martial arts prodigies in the world. Their cultivation speed had increased by leaps and bounds over the years, and they were usually quite proud of it.
But at this moment, they discovered that no matter how fast their cultivation speed was, the gap between them and Lin Xuan was getting bigger and bigger.
In their eyes, Lin Xuan was becoming more and more mysterious, more and more unattainable. They could only look up to him and respect him.
In a short while, Lin Xuan finished his divination. He slowly opened his eyes, and two cold lights flashed.
In the process of his divination, he vaguely saw a giant black crow with wings covering the sky flying over from the sky. It let out an irritating crow's cry, disrupting his fortune …
"It's actually a Chaotic Life Crow! Didn't they say that this kind of demon bird is all dead? "
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, his expression extremely solemn.
The Chaotic Life Crow was a legendary Desolate Ancient Beast that possessed the heaven-defying ability to disrupt fate. Even in the Desolate Ancient World, it caused people to tremble in fear. All the creatures in the world hated it, but they were also incomparably fearful of it.
And to Lin Xuan, the Chaotic Life Crow was no stranger to him at all.
This was because he had suffered from the Chaotic Life Crow many times in the inheritance world of the Spiritual Rhino's Horn. Fortunately, he finally killed the Chaotic Life Crow and fused with the Chaotic Life Crow.
Until today, the Chaotic Life Divine Art was still his strongest trump card. Although it was rarely used, only three times in total, every time it was used, it was always successful.
And now, a living Chaotic Life Crow had actually appeared, and it was obviously coming for him, so he couldn't help but be on high alert.
Although he also knew the Chaotic Life Divine Art, he had no solution.
After thinking for a while, Lin Xuan's eyes moved, and he took out a hemp rope again and began to knot divination.
This time, what he divined was the way to solve the problem.
Since there was a Chaotic Life Crow that was about to become his enemy, whether he went to the Sword Tasting Conference or not, he would not be able to avoid it.
Moreover, if that damn crow came to Greater One Holy Mountain, it would probably bring even more trouble to Greater One Sect.
Since he couldn't avoid it, he would do everything he could to solve it.
However, this time, just as Lin Xuan was about to complete the knot, his movements suddenly stopped, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of golden blood.
Puff — —
"Sect Master!"
"Sect Master! What's wrong with you? "
Yan Hui and Lin Fan's expressions changed, and they hurriedly asked with concern.
Lin Xuan straightened up and waved his hand lightly, "I'm fine."
Although he said that he was fine, his face was very ugly, as if he was seriously ill, and his entire aura had weakened by 30%.
There was no doubt that he had suffered a backlash.
However, his divination was not a complete failure, because a moment before he failed, he vaguely saw a silver tortoise swimming in the river. The tortoise shell was somewhat familiar.
"F * ck! I didn't expect that I, who had been wise all my life, would actually suffer a loss at the hands of that tortoise! I can't let it go just like that! "
Lin Xuan cursed unhappily. He stood up and gave a few instructions to Yan Hui before floating out of the hall and returning to the Greater One Secret Realm.
Returning to his exclusive cultivation room, Lin Xuan waved his hand and threw a huge silver tortoise shell on the ground with a loud bang.
This tortoise shell, to be exact, was a destiny tortoise that was not completely dead. It was obtained from a disciple of the Ji family, and the tortoise shell was more than 30 meters in diameter.
Ever since he had obtained it, this tortoise shell had made considerable contributions to Lin Xuan with its powerful defense.
For a long time, Lin Xuan had regarded it as a failed artifact, a dead object.
However, in the Sword Maste's Sword Prison, the Sword Maste powerhouse Chu Jianhun's divine skill, the Nine Nether Curved Light, had exposed a flaw in this tortoise shell.
The sword hole on the tortoise shell had already healed, and no trace of it could be seen anymore. However, that scream was still fresh in Lin Xuan's memory.
It was also because of this that Lin Xuan realized that this thing was actually alive, or at least, not completely dead.
"Hey! Brother Tortoise, come out and talk, stop pretending. "
Lin Xuan took out a pot of Drunken Dragon Rising to the Heavens wine, and leisurely said as he drank a mouthful of it.
After speaking, there was no response for a long time.
Lin Xuan frowned and said, "If you continue to pretend to be dead, I won't be polite anymore."
However, the tortoise shell still did not move.
Lin Xuan drank another mouthful of wine and put away the jug. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
He took out a sheathed sword, the Profound Sky Divine Sword and the Holy Ground Scabbard.
He did not draw the divine sword, but only used the end of the scabbard to slowly draw across the tortoise shell, producing a sharp and ear-piercing sound.
He actually did not use any strength, but the tortoise shell clearly trembled.
Whether it was the Profound Sky Divine Sword or the Holy Ground Scabbard, they both possessed great power.
The reason Lin Xuan showed them was to tell this cowardly tortoise that he had the ability to decide its life and death.
"Sigh, little brother, this old man's shell, if you want to use it, then go ahead and use it. Why must you disturb this old man's slumber?"
A voice that was not old, but claimed to be old slowly came from the tortoise shell, as if it came from a deep cave. There was a hint of laziness in the voice, but there was no fear or nervousness.
Lin Xuan smiled playfully. "Brother Tortoise, you make it sound so easy. Who can truly feel at ease when an expert of mysterious origins and unknown strength is hiding by their side?"
"If you really can't feel at ease, then just throw this old man away," the voice from the tortoise shell said lazily.
"Haha, how can I be willing to just throw me away when treasures are right in front of me?" Lin Xuan said.
"Sigh, I can't do this, I can't do that. Just what do you want?" the tortoise shell sighed.
Lin Xuan said, "I was just about to ask you, just what will it take for you to be willing to acknowledge me as your master and be used by me?"
"Hehe, young man of the human race, your tone is quite big. Back in the day, even that little fellow from the human race called Ji Chang didn't dare to make such a request. You're far inferior to Ji Chang, but your tone is much more arrogant than his, "the voice from the turtle shell said mockingly.
"Ji Chang?"
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the Human Emperor's name was Ji Chang, right?
Holy shit, this damn tortoise was bragging, right?
The Human Emperor was someone from a hundred thousand years ago. Could this tortoise of destiny have lived for a hundred thousand years? How was that possible!
Alright, Lin Xuan was indeed a little hesitant.
As long as there was even the slightest possibility, this was not an old monster that Lin Xuan could afford to provoke.
Moreover, his intuition told him that this tortoise was very likely not bragging.
