"Hehe, you still don't know, right? Mu Qingxue came out of seclusion because of her fiancé, Lin Xuan!"
"Oh? What happened to Lin Xuan? "
"That Lin Xuan has been courting death recently. He actually escaped from the Northern Wilderness and attracted the Keelung Sect, Dragon Soul Hall, and other major sects to join forces to capture him. There are rumors that Lin Xuan has been trapped in the Iron Maple Forest two hundred miles away from the Imperial City. That forest isn't that big, so I'm afraid Lin Xuan won't be able to escape this calamity. "
"There's such a thing? That Mu Qingxue came out of seclusion. Could it be that she's leading the Mu family's experts to rescue Lin Xuan? "
"Perhaps! But I don't think the Mu family will lend a helping hand. These past few years, Lin Xuan has been listed as a criminal of the imperial court. The Mu family has long wanted to annul this engagement. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to get them to lend a hand. "
"That was in the past. Now that Lin Xuan has been conferred the title of Northern Wilderness' Sacred Ruler, his noble rank is even higher than the Mu family's Duke. Perhaps the Mu family will be willing …"
"…"
Hearing the discussions around him, Lin Xuan couldn't help but frown.
He could imagine that Mu Qingxue must have been burdened with endless pressure because of her engagement with him. This made his heart ache.
Of course, he was more concerned about another piece of news. That was the rumor that he was trapped in the Iron Maple Forest outside the city!
Vaguely, he smelled a hint of a conspiracy.
"This news has spread throughout the city. Even Mu Qingxue, who was in seclusion, was alerted. Hehe, interesting! "
Lin Xuan looked pensive. The corners of his mouth slowly curled into a sinister smile.
It was obvious that this conspiracy wasn't directed at him. Or rather, it wasn't directed at him.
It was very likely that it was directed at Mu Qingxue!
Perhaps the enemy wanted to lure Mu Qingxue out of the city, then capture Mu Qingxue and force him to show himself.
Of course, this guess might not be correct.
If the mastermind behind this scheme was the Dao Slave of Huang Dao, it might be targeting Yu Tianxing and Maki Cangsheng.
It was actually very simple to destroy the other party's scheme. As long as he appeared elsewhere, the rumors would be dispelled.
However, doing so would likely expose his whereabouts. Perhaps this was also one of the enemy's objectives.
"Hey! Brother Ning, he's already gone far. "Li Mohan joked with a smile.
"Oh." Lin Xuan snapped out of his thoughts.
"Brother Ning, Mu Qingxue is indeed a god-like figure. Ever since she returned to the capital, the number of nobles who have come to ask for her hand in marriage has almost flattened the Mu Family's doorstep. Unfortunately, the famous flower is already taken. Brother Ning, you better not think about it." Li Mohan pretended to shake her head and sigh.
"Haha, what does a brat like you know?" Lin Xuan curled his lips in disdain. With his hands behind his back, he walked away.
"What! Brother Ning, a gentleman does not speak ill of others. You actually scolded me. Hurry up and apologize to me! "
"I didn't say I was a gentleman."
"Brother Ning, where are you going? Second Sister hasn't come out yet! "
"Wait for yourself! My time is very precious. I'm not used to waiting for others. "
Under Li Mohan's gloomy gaze, Lin Xuan left alone.
After leaving Li Mohan's line of sight, Lin Xuan did not walk back to the Li Residence. Instead, he turned into an alley.
He did not want to see anything happen to Mu Qingxue. He also did not want Yu Tianxing and Maki Cangsheng to be exposed. Therefore, he had to do something.
His plan was very simple. He would go outside the city and make some noise to expose Lin Xuan's whereabouts.
Just as he was about to sink into the ground and sneak out of the city, suddenly, two powerful martial artists appeared at the entrance of the alley and surrounded him.
These two masked men were at the True Energy Realm. They were burly and had thick limbs. Their eyes were cold and calm, and their killing intent was restrained. One look and one could tell that they were experienced killers.
"Who are you?" Lin Xuan frowned slightly.
"Someone who wants your life!"
One of them said coldly.
The two of them did not stop. When they were fifty meters away from Lin Xuan, they suddenly sped up and turned into two phantoms, attacking Lin Xuan.
"Want my life? Haha, I'm afraid you can't do it! "
Lin Xuan snickered and was about to deliver a heavy blow to these two fellows to heaven.
If he was not wrong, these two guys should be Bai Yifan's subordinates.
With his current strength, he only needed to move his finger and he could easily crush the two of them without any mishaps.
However, just as he was about to attack, he suddenly stopped.
This was because a man and a woman had turned into the alley and were rushing over.
"Stop! Bai Fang, Bai Zheng! What are you two trying to do? "
Li Mojun's body was like lightning. In a few flashes, she was nearby and shouted to stop the two guys.
The two masked men stopped and looked at each other. One of them said coldly, "You've got the wrong person! We don't know any Bai Fang or Bai Zheng! If you don't want to die, don't meddle in other people's business! "
"Hmph, Bai Fang, don't deceive yourself! You think I can't recognize you just because you're masked? "Li Mojun said angrily.
Bai Fang frowned and hesitated. However, it was only for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes turned fierce and he signaled to his partner.
In the next moment, the two of them attacked with all their might. They waved their swords and sabers at Lin Xuan fiercely. They wanted to kill Lin Xuan by force.
"You bastards!"
"Stop!"
Li Mojun and her brother turned pale with fright. After all, the two of them were still far away. It was too late for them to help.
In their opinion, Lin Xuan was only a mid-level True Energy Realm martial artist. Under the siege of two True Energy Realm martial artists, it was very likely that he would be killed in an instant.
However, at this moment, Lin Xuan, who was the target of the assassination, did not show any fear on his face.
He shook his head disdainfully. When the two of them were 20 meters away from him, he suddenly took out a talisman and threw it over.
Third stage Hell King Talisman!
Boom!
A dark light exploded and instantly enveloped the two assassins.
The two of them were terrified. They did not even have time to escape before they turned into two skeletons in the dark light.
Li Mojun and Li Mohan could not help but stagnate. Looking at the two skeletons on the ground, their faces turned pale.
Especially Li Mohan, her body trembled and her eyes were filled with fear. It was obvious that this was the first time she had seen someone killed. She almost vomited.
"Ning Que! You, you actually killed them! "Li Mojun looked coldly at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan could not help but feel puzzled. He said indifferently, "Is there something wrong?"
"You!"
Li Mojun wanted to reprimand Lin Xuan, but she realized that she did not have a reason.
Just as Lin Xuan had expected, deep in her heart, she still had feelings for Bai Yifan.
The two brothers, Bai Fang and Bai Zheng, were Bai Yifan's trusted aides and were very familiar with her.
Therefore, although she did not want to see anything happen to Lin Xuan, she also did not want Bai Yifan's two subordinates to die in front of her.
At this moment, she could not help but feel even more disgusted with Lin Xuan.
She said angrily, "Ning Que, this is the Imperial Capital! If you encounter danger, you can call for patrol guards. How can you kill people at will? "
"You're crazy."
Lin Xuan muttered, shook his head, and turned to leave.
"You, you stop right there! Who are you calling crazy? "Li Mojun was so angry that her eyebrows were raised, and she said angrily.
Lin Xuan stopped, but he could not be bothered with Li Mojun. Instead, he looked at Li Mohan, who wanted to vomit but could not, and said, "Don't listen to your sister. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died in the future."
Li Mohan was slightly stunned. She looked at Lin Xuan's back as he slowly walked away. She had a thoughtful look on her face.
Li Mojun was so angry that she couldn't take it anymore. She looked at Lin Xuan as if she wanted to eat him up. She angrily stomped her feet and said to Li Mohan, "Brother Han, don't listen to that bastard! That bastard is not a good person! "
Li Mohan's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion. She hesitated and said, "Second Sister, let's not talk about whether Brother Ning is a good person first. But, if they can kill Brother Ning, why can't Brother Ning kill them? Didn't the ancient sages say that a gentleman should repay injustice with justice, and repay kindness with kindness? "
"This …" Li Mojun was speechless.
… …
Lin Xuan shook off the Li siblings and sank into the ground in a deserted corner. After a short while, he arrived outside the city.
At the city gate, there were still people from the Keelung Sect watching the people coming and going.
Lin Xuan had changed his appearance and outfit. He stood on the official road, and his cold eyes slowly swept over the several Keelung Sect disciples. His eyes were inexplicable.
For a long time, the Keelung Sect had been accustomed to seeing him as prey.
From their point of view, the prey might occasionally escape the hunter's grasp, but the final result would not be unexpected. That was, the prey would eventually die in the hands of the hunter.
If it was an ordinary Divine Aura Realm martial artist, or even a Heavenly Transformation Realm or Magical Ability Realm martial artist, when faced with a colossus like the Keelung Sect, they would naturally put themselves in the shoes of the weak.
But Lin Xuan would not.
His willpower, which had been tempered by two lifetimes, as well as his many tricks and trump cards, had long since given him the mentality of a powerhouse.
As of today, he no longer feared the Keelung Sect.
What he had to do next was very simple, and that was to counterattack! A crazy counterattack!
He wanted to let the people of the Keelung Sect understand that the prey in their eyes would eat people!
"Qing Xuan, Keelung Sect, didn't you want to catch this young master? Then this young master will play with you! "
"Mm, the next operation will be codenamed 'Gluttonous Snake'. The time limit is one month!"
Lin Xuan grinned. His body shook, and he instantly reverted to his original appearance. He strode toward the four Keelung Sect disciples in front of him.
"Senior Brother Wang, it's been so many days. Do you think the target has already left Yuzhou?" One of the Keelung Sect disciples frowned.
"Who knows? Anyway, the higher-ups have arranged for us to guard this place. We'll just do as we're told."
"I hope we can gain something from the Iron Maple Forest and catch Lin Xuan as soon as possible. Then we can return to the sect as soon as possible. I still want to go into seclusion to break through the bottleneck."
"…"
The four Keelung Sect disciples chatted as they stared at the passing crowd, not letting go of anyone suspicious.
At this moment, one of the Keelung Sect disciples suddenly widened his eyes and stared straight at a young man striding toward them.
"Lin Lin Lin … Lin Xuan?"
"Damn! It's really Lin Xuan! "
"Quick! Catch him! "
The four Keelung Sect disciples noticed Lin Xuan walking toward them at almost the same time. They couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.
Looking at that steady and resolute figure, they seemed to see their own bright future ahead of them.
