Chapter 30 - 30 29 One Move

30: Chapter 29: One Move 30: Chapter 29: One Move “Going to such a dangerous place, how can you go without a weapon by your side?” After thinking it over, Lin Xuan finally bought a fine steel long sword. In addition, he purchased some body tempering ointment. After finishing his purchases, Lin Xuan went to find Tang Yu, only to discover she was in a standoff with another girl. “What’s going on?” Lin Xuan walked up to Tang Yu’s side. “Oh, you even brought a pretty boy!” The girl opposite spoke unceremoniously. “Tang Xiaoling, mind your language!” Tang Yu spoke in a huff. “What, I can’t even speak now?” The girl named Tang Xiaoling sneered, “Looks like you’re not that young anymore; it’s about time someone arranged a marriage for you, to stop you from chasing after men everywhere!” “I think the second young master of the Ding family is quite suitable. I’ll introduce him to you someday.” “You!” Tang Yu bared her teeth and brandished her claws, as if she wished she could pounce right then and there. Fortunately, Lin Xuan was there to intervene. There were many people around, and he was worried Tang Yu might be at a disadvantage. And he had pretty much guessed the identity of that girl as someone from the Tang family; he was all too familiar with these kinds of family feuds, having faced such daily life when he was at Sword Pond Prefecture. “Since you hold the Second Young Master Ding in such high regard, why don’t you marry him yourself!” Lin Xuan said with a smile, pulling Tang Yu aside. “What did you say?” Tang Xiaoling’s expression changed, “A mere Xuantian Sect Outer Disciple like you has no right to speak here!” As soon as Tang Xiaoling spoke up, the youths behind her also started to mock, and a Fourth-stage Congealing Veins Disciple dared to be so insolent here: “Believe it or not, this young master can crush you with one hand!” “How dare you bully Xiaoling! Apologize now, or I’ll make you crawl out of here!” Without a doubt, these youths must have been Tang Xiaoling’s followers. They were burning with rage, eager to duel with Lin Xuan immediately. “Thinking of starting a fight? With just you lot?” Lin Xuan said indifferently, looking carefree and completely disregarding the group in front of him. “Hmph! Tang Yu, your taste is really something, picking such an idiot! A little Spirit Warrior at the Fourth Rank of the Mystical Realm dares to challenge us from the Purple Mist Sect!” Tang Xiaoling snorted coldly. “If you’re so capable, then fight! He alone can take on ten of you! These little shrimps behind you, he can handle them with one hand!” Tang Yu exclaimed, waving her small fists. Lin Xuan felt extremely pleased as Tang Yu praised him, and he studied the group in front of him one by one. They were all dressed in purple clothes with a pattern of an auspicious cloud on the sleeves, the emblem of the Purple Mist Sect. Just like the Xuantian Sect, the Purple Mist Sect was one of the three major sects in Yunzhou and was also an overlord in its own right. It was just unclear why disciples of the Purple Mist Sect would come near the Xuantian Sect. Feeling Lin Xuan’s gaze, the disciples of the Purple Mist Sect stared back furiously, their eyes filled with provocative glares. Lin Xuan didn’t care; the strength of the people opposite was indeed not bad, all around the Fifth Rank of the Mystical Realm, but as Tang Yu had said, these people didn’t pose a threat at all. “Perfect timing, I’ve just bought a weapon. Who wants to step up?” Lin Xuan shouldered his long sword, looking devil-may-care. “Hmph, idiot!” Tang Xiaoling sneered, not believing for a moment that a little Spirit Warrior at the Fourth Rank of the Mystical Realm could defeat her companions. “If you’re looking for death, I’ll oblige you!” A handsome young man in purple stepped forward from behind Tang Xiaoling. “Sorry, fighting is not allowed in Ten Thousand Treasure Tower!” Just as the purple-clad youth was about to take action, a quick-moving steward intervened to stop the fight. The purple-clad youth was irritated, but he didn’t dare to strike at the employees of Ten Thousand Treasure Tower, and could only say coldly, “If you’re a man, come outside!” Lin Xuan shrugged his shoulders and walked out with Tang Yu. The disciples of the Purple Mist Sect all had cold smiles on their faces; to them, defeating a Fourth Rank Disciple of the Mystical Realm was a matter of minutes. “With just you, you need a sword? Let me show you what swordsmanship is!” The purple-clad youth said disdainfully with a laugh. “Feiyu Sword Technique!” The moment the young man swung his sword, a purple halo formed in the air, and strands of purple Sword Qi turned into feathers, flying towards Lin Xuan. “Great swordsmanship!” exclaimed a disciple from the Purple Mist Sect behind him. Although these young people seemed arrogant, they were certainly not foolish—they had sent their best swordsman to face the challenge. While they exhibited an arrogance on the surface, when it came to confrontation, they deployed their strongest combatant—a truly sly bunch of youths. Lin Xuan still wore a smile on his face. Only when the sword light reached him did he make a move. Executing the Instant Shadow Step, Lin Xuan took a step forward, appearing directly in front of the boy in purple. His fine steel sword struck like lightning, hitting his opponent’s weak spot precisely. Clang! The crowd saw only a flash of white light, and then the longsword from the boy in purple flew out of his hand, skewering the ground at an angle, while he looked on in horror and confusion at Lin Xuan. One move, it took just one move for him to be defeated! “Impossible!” Tang Xiaoling’s beautiful eyes bulged in shock as she exclaimed.

The group of young men behind her were even more dismayed, their faces turning a particularly ugly shade. Their looks toward Lin Xuan now carried a hint of fear. “Anyone else want to try?” Lin Xuan sheathed his long sword and asked indifferently. His tall figure, clad in white, fluttered with the wind, his black hair cascading like a waterfall, exuding a vibrant aura. No one dared to respond. Many young girls around cast admiring glances toward Lin Xuan. This was the kind of young man they idolized. Even Tang Yu was blushing with excitement, waving her small fists in support. Tang Xiaoling’s face turned dark, and she cursed under her breath, though her eyes still burned with an indomitable spirit. “Brother Ding is nearby. After you defeat him, then you can be proud!” With that said, she left with a scowl. “Feeling better now?” Lin Xuan turned to Tang Yu and asked. “Yes, much better!” Tang Yu smiled like a sly fox. “Let’s go, I’ll walk you back,” said Lin Xuan. Tang Yu gave him a look: “How about exploring? Are you coming?” “No time,” Lin Xuan declined. He still had to visit the Demon Pit. “Hmph, scaredy-cat, not fun at all! You go back then, I’ll go to the Demon Pit by myself!” Tang Yu huffed. “What? You’re going to the Demon Pit?” Now it was Lin Xuan’s turn to be surprised. “Such a dangerous place, what do you want to go there for?” Tang Yu tilted her head to look at him: “Don’t you know? Some strange stones have appeared on the outskirts of the Demon Pit, rumored to be swept in from the depths of Taihang Mountain. Many disciples from the sect, including those from the Inner Sect, have been disturbed.” “Damn!” Lin Xuan cursed inwardly. If everyone already knew, there was no point in him going! “Little Xuanzi, you must hurry, or you won’t even get a taste of the soup!” Lord of Wine urged in his mind. “It’s too dangerous. I’ll go take a look. You should head back,” Lin Xuan tried to persuade her, as taking her along would be too inconvenient. “Don’t worry, people from the Battle Group will be there, and my brother will go too, I’ll be safe,” Tang Yu stated confidently, patting her chest. “Your brother?” Lin Xuan took a deep breath. Tang Yu’s brother was an expert from the Inner Sect. Even someone of that caliber was agitated—could it be that something incredible was about to emerge? “Lord of Wine, do you know what those stones are and why they’ve attracted so many people?” Lin Xuan asked in his mind.
