Lin Xun asked directly, Where is Lian Fei?

Wu Chaoquns face paled with terror. Although he felt extremely humiliated, he knew he had to answer Lin Xun. He will show up tomorrow. Before that, no one knows where he is.

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. How do you contact him?

Wu Chaoqun shook his head. He always contacted us when needed.

Lin Xun scrunched his brows. To be honest, you are a bunch of trash in my eyes. I believe that as long as Lian Fei isnt stupid, he wouldnt think that you guys can deal with me. But he still chose to work with you guys, why is that?

Those words seemed harsh and humiliating to Wu Chaoqun and the others, but they had to admit that they were no match for Lin Xun. Even if everyone in the Wu Clan worked together, they couldnt possibly kill Lin Xun.

That was the terror of the Spirit Sea Stage. Its strength might be considered nothing in the Forbidden City, but it was terrifying in a small city on the southwestern border of the empire.

Because he knows that there is enmity between us, answered Wu Chaoqun with a dark and unpleasant expression. In truth, they were also puzzled. Lian Fei was Yao Tuohais son-in-law, so it would be a wiser choice to work with stronger forces, but Lian Fei went to find the Wu Clan instead. Perhaps, it was indeed due to their hatred towards Lin Xun.

Wu Chaoqun wasnt sure of the real reason.

However, his answer made Lin Xun realize that Lian Fei was using the Wu Clan as chess pieces, but Wu Chaoqun and the others still hadnt realized the truth.

Then, do you know where Lian Fei imprisoned the villagers of Feiyun Village? Lin Xun asked the question he was most concerned about.

Wu Chaoqun shook his head.

Really? A murderous glint flashed in Lin Xuns dark eyes.

Wu Chaoqun summoned the courage and answered, Yes.

Bang!

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and suddenly slapped Second Elder Wu Yushans head. His head resembled a broken watermelon as blood trickled down. Wu Chaoqun and Third Elder Wu Lanshan screamed in horror.

In their eyes, Lin Xun was like a devil. He killed ruthlessly and without wavering.

I will ask you for the last time. If you dont give me a satisfying answer, the entire Wu Clan will be buried with you.

Lin Xuns indifferent words echoed in Wu Chaoquns ears like a rumble of lightning in the clear sky. He felt like he was having a breakdown.

Under the forbidden area in the back of our Wu Clans residence...

The Four Coiling Dragon Pillars were withdrawn, and corpses were strewn across the ground.

Lin Xun had wiped out the entire Wu Clan including Wu Chaoqun and Wu Lanshan. He wasnt ruthless and cruel, but their hatred towards him had to be retaliated and deterred.

Shua!

In a flash, Lin Xun appeared in the forbidden area at the rear of the Wu Clans residence. He searched around and found an underground entrance covered with rune arrays.

That puny level of rune arrays, of course, couldnt stop Lin Xun. He effortlessly passed through them without needing to decipher them.

He disguised himself as Wu Chaoqun and adopted his behavior and demeanor.

Every Blood Kill Camp student had to master the disguise skill, so Lin Xun was very proficient in it.

Through the entrance was a tunnel that led into the underground. It was paved with stone steps, and both sides of the wall were hung with lamps, creating a soft glow in the dark tunnel.

Lin Xun released his Spirit power and didnt sense any danger. Only then did he believe Wu Chaoqun. This place is indeed not a trap; its actually a secret chamber for the Wu Clan to store treasures.

At the end of the tunnel stood an underground hall. It was brightly lit and very spacious inside.

According to Wu Chaoqun, all the villagers of Feiyun Village were imprisoned inside the hall, and it was guarded by Lian Feis right-hand man. He wouldnt easily let anyone near the hall.

Who is it? someone shouted just as Lin Xun arrived.

Its me. Lin Xuns expression didnt ripple in the slightest as he approached the underground hall.

But then his eyes narrowed when he saw the person who asked the question.

The man had a dark beard and dark hair and a dignified face. He was Yu Canglin, the principal of Donglin Academy!

He was known for being old-fashioned, inflexible, serious, and never smiling. Many years ago, he became one of the most well-known Spirit Sea cultivators in Donglin City.

Lin Xun knew that besides Yao Tuohai suppressing him in the district examination three years ago, there was also Yu Canglin!

However, Lin Xun never thought that Yu Canglin, the well-respected principal of Donglin Academy, would appear in the Wu Clans underground hall.

He found it extremely strange. When he interrogated Wu Chaoqun, he never mentioned that Yu Canglin was also there!

It seems like that old thing wanted to plot against me even before he died. He wants to use Yu Canglins hand to deal with meLin Xun had figured out the reason right away.

Fellow Cultivator Wu, why are you here? Yu Canglin asked in surprise.

Lin Xun breathed an inward sigh of relief, knowing that Yu Canglin hadnt seen through his disguise. I came to take a look, he said in a hoarse voice. Although we are going to get rid of the kid tomorrow, I still feel uneasy.

Yu Canglin nodded and reassured, Master Yao Tuohai has personally planned this operation, so I believe Lin Xun wont be able to do anything. You dont need to worry.

Lin Xun nodded as he inadvertently darted his eyes around the hall. He found that it was empty apart from some chairs and tables.

Where are they? Lin Xun frowned, a bad feeling surging in his heart. Either Wu Chaoqun was lying or something unexpected had already happened.

Patriarch Wu, is there something? Suddenly, a young man in a gorgeous robe walked out from a side door in the hall. Didnt I say to not come here for no reason?

Lin Xun, who was in Wu Chaoquns disguise, smiled in embarrassment. Im just too worried.

Dont worry. Nothing will happen if I am guarding those country bumpkins, nothing will happen, the young man said disdainfully, seemingly despising Wu Chaoquns cowardness.

Can Igo in and take a look?

The fake Wu Chaoqun said hesitantly, Im worried an accident will happen since we are going to take action tomorrow.

The young man stared at Lin Xun strangely. After a long moment, he burst into laughter, Lin Xun, stop acting! My lord has already anticipated your arrival.

What are you talking about? Yu Canglins eyes went wide. You meanyou mean he is Lin Xun? He pointed at Lin Xun.

The gorgeous-robed young man smiled. Yes, Wu Chaoqun swore that he would never set foot here before tomorrow. I believe he would never go back on his words!

Yu Canglins face instantly turned cold as he swept a glance over at Lin Xun.

You knew I would come but you are still so calm. You must be prepared, am I right?

Lin Xun raised his hand to remove his disguise, revealing his true face. But his heart sank as he realized the whole operation was a little strange.

It really is you! Yu Canglins pupils shrank in disbelief.

Yes, according to my lords prediction, you wouldnt obediently submit and would take action. So he specially arranged for me to wait for you here. Indeed, you came as predicted, the gorgeous-robed young man said confidently.

Lin Xun composed himself right away. What if I hadnt come today?

The gorgeous-robed young man smiled. We would have sent someone to invite you here tomorrow.

They had been planning for a long time, so their plan was very cautious and took every possibility into account.

It seems like you only worked with the Wu Clan to divert my attention. Lin Xuns expression became calmer and calmer.

Youre too polite. Strictly speaking, the Wu Clan is just cannon fodder. I believe you have already slaughtered them all, am I right? Well, does the feeling of revenge make you feel better?

Lin Xun smiled. You just said that they are cannon fodder. If I want to vent the hatred in my heart, killing them wont be enough for that.

Yao Qing, if the Wu Clan is cannon fodder then what am I? Yu Canglin, who had been silent for a while, suddenly asked aloud. His voice quivered with undisguised anger. He had never thought that he would also be deceived!

Elder, calm down, you are a friend of my lord. The Wu Clan cant be compared to you. In this operation, you will personally escort Lin Xun to Qingfeng County, the young man called Yao Qing apologetically explained.

Hmph! Yu Canglin snorted. Although he was infuriated, he knew his priority should be to deal with Lin Xun.

Qingfeng County? Lin Xun scrunched his brows.

Haha, did you think we will deal with you in Donglin City? Yao Qing laughed contemptuously.

Then, he sighed, We have no other choice. Lin Xun, you are so famous now. The whole empire knows about you, and many powerful forces are close to you. If someone helps you in secret, there are too many variables we need to take account of.

Since thats the case, its better to lure you to Donglin City and then make you follow us obediently to Qingfeng County without anyone knowing. At that time, we wont need to worry about any accidents happening.

Yao Qing smirked at Lin Xun like watching a prey fall into a trap.

What a deceptive plan! Yao Tuohai thinks too highly of me. Lin Xun had to admire Yao Tuohais scheming mind. His arrangement was almost flawless.

Buthow do you know that I will just sit still and do nothing? Lin Xun asked in puzzlement.
