427: Chapter 426: Is Jiang Sanfeng Dead?

Lord Iron Hand escorted Lin Xuan to a living room and said politely, “Please enjoy the tea, Mr.

Lin.

I will go and notify Lord Iron Hand immediately.”

Lin Xuan nodded slightly and sat down slowly.

Soon, a beautiful maid brought some Spiritual Tea and served it with care.

Lin Xuan sat in contemplation, waiting, and it wasn’t long before he lifted his head.

Because his Soul Power had detected a presence approaching rapidly.

“Mr.

Lin, please follow me to the study,” the guard said politely.

Under his guidance, Lin Xuan arrived in front of a stand-alone pavilion.

“You may go up to the third floor,” he was instructed.

Lin Xuan nodded and pushed the door to enter.

He walked steadily, moving toward the second floor.

Indeed, in the second-floor study, he saw a majestic figure.

Dressed in a black robe, with a face as sharp as cut stone and radiating the authoritative presence of a superior, it was indeed Lord Iron Hand.

“Greetings, Senior,” Lin Xuan said with a slight bow.

“You have arrived,” Lord Iron Hand nodded slightly, “The crimson flag you helped me retrieve truly aided me greatly, so feel free to make any request.”

“I am here to thank Senior,” Lin Xuan said with a smile, then spoke, “I would like to ask Senior to help me find someone.”

“Oh?

Who might this person be?” Lord Iron Hand asked, visibly surprised.

He had originally thought Lin Xuan would ask for treasures, martial arts techniques, or similar things, but instead, he was asking him to find someone.

“This person’s name is Jiang Sanfeng, aged over fifty, and has been to Heavenly Mountain Country.”

Upon hearing this, Lord Iron Hand stiffened, and a fierce aura burst forth from him, shattering the nearby tables and chairs.

However, his expression soon returned to normal, and the raging aura disappeared as quickly as it came.

Lin Xuan was taken aback, unsure why Lord Iron Hand had such a violent reaction.

Could this Jiang Sanfeng be an enemy of his?

For a moment, Lin Xuan was filled with trepidation.

This was almost his last chance, for the remaining time did not permit him to seek alternatives.

If this didn’t work out, he would have to try the Dragon Ascension Platform.

Lord Iron Hand slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was startled; even though Lord Iron Hand wasn’t emitting any aura at the moment, he felt as if there was a mountain looming before him, oppressive and suffocating.

Yet, he had seen his fair share of grand scenes and possessed the Great Dragon Sword Intent, which gave him an innate immunity to such pressure.

Therefore, in front of Lord Iron Hand, he managed to remain composed and calm.

Seeing Lin Xuan’s demeanor, Lord Iron Hand was slightly surprised.

To have such composure at such a young age was truly commendable.

“Who sent you, and what is your purpose in finding Jiang Sanfeng?”

“I was sent by Master Han Lei, the Elixir Master from Heavenly Mountain Country,” Lin Xuan said as he took out the token given to him by Old Man Di Que.

“I am here to find Jiang Sanfeng to obtain a spot at the Azure Dragon Society.”

Seeing the token in Lin Xuan’s hand, Lord Iron Hand’s gaze sharpened as if he fell into deep thought.

After a while, he sighed and slowly said, “Do not seek this person anymore, Jiang Sanfeng is already dead.”

“Dead?” Lin Xuan was taken aback, the person he was looking for was actually dead!

What about his spot?

However, what Lord Iron Hand said next eased his worries considerably.

“Although I cannot help you find Jiang Sanfeng,” he continued, “I can assist you somewhat with securing a spot for the Azure Dragon Society.”

“Really?” Lin Xuan was delighted; his goal in finding Jiang Sanfeng was indeed for a spot in the Azure Dragon Society.

Now that Lord Iron Hand could help, that was the best outcome for him.

Lord Iron Hand spoke gravely, “Big Banner Sect, as one of the six top powers in Dragon Star Country, has some predetermined spots for each meeting of the Azure Dragon Society.”

“I can recommend you to the competition for a spot, but you must demonstrate your strength; otherwise, I cannot assist you.”

“The corresponding strength?” Lin Xuan wondered, “What kind of strength is needed?”

Although he was unaware of the top combat power among the younger generation in Dragon Star Country, he was very confident in his own strength.

“I want your name to be known throughout Desolate Flame City,” said Lord Iron Hand, “If you can’t even manage that, then I can’t help you.”

“Known throughout Desolate Flame City!” Lin Xuan murmured, then his eyes burst with astonishing brilliance.

“I promise you!”

“Lately, there has been a tea garden competition in the city, would you like to try your hand at it?”

“Yun Duo!” Lord Iron Hand called out sternly.

Immediately, a young maid entered the study and respectfully said, “Lord, please give your instructions.”

“Take him down and arrange a place for him to stay.”

“Besides, take him to the Tea Garden Meeting in two days.”

Yun Duo first glanced in surprise at the shattered table and chairs on the floor, then she respectfully agreed.

“This way, Mr.

Lin.”

After bidding farewell to Lord Iron Hand, Lin Xuan followed Yun Duo out of the pavilion and into the depths of the palace complex.

“This is your room, just stay inside if there’s nothing else, don’t wander around.

In three days, I’ll take you to the Tea Garden Meeting.”

After saying this, Yun Duo turned and left.

“Wait a moment?” Lin Xuan said.

“What is it?” Yun Duo turned around, irritation in her eyes.

She had seen the broken furniture on the floor of the study and figured it must have been caused by Lord Iron Hand’s rage.

Anyone who could make Lord Iron Hand so angry surely wasn’t a good person!

Therefore, Yun Duo had not the slightest positive attitude towards Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan didn’t mind and asked in a solemn voice, “May I know what the Tea Garden Meeting is exactly about?”

“You don’t know?” Yun Duo asked in surprise, then she looked at him seriously.

Noticing that Lin Xuan was at the middle stage of the Spirit Merging Realm and observing his simple clothes, she shook her head slightly.

His cultivation was decent, but it would be difficult to achieve much in the tea garden bouts, and she wondered why Lord Iron Hand would let such a person participate in the Tea Garden Meeting.

Wasn’t this tarnishing the reputation of the Big Banner Sect?

Yun Duo coldly replied, “The tea garden bouts are a small gathering held regularly amongst the young generation of Tianhuang County.

It gathers the young talents of Tianhuang County.”

“I see,” Lin Xuan understood – this was an exchange meeting among young Martial Artists.

“Is there anything else?” Yun Duo asked coldly, “If you have any questions, it’s best to ask them all at once to avoid further trouble.”

“That’s all,” Lin Xuan shook his head.

He didn’t care about Yun Duo’s attitude.

He didn’t need to be upset over a little girl; what he needed to do now was to adjust his state and prepare wholeheartedly for the upcoming tea garden bouts in three days.

During these three days, Lin Xuan fully immersed himself in understanding the Earth-grade Martial Arts, Void Spirit Illusion Demon Step.

With his keen comprehension and Lord of Wine’s guidance, he managed to grasp the basics of this step technique.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the tea garden competition arrived.

That day, Desolate Flame City was exceptionally lively as countless young and promising individuals flocked to Qingfeng Tea Garden in the northern part of the city.

It was a grand event, a contest between the younger generation of Tianhuang County.

The Tea Garden Meeting was hosted by two of the top forces.

Star Sea Sect and the Duan Family.

Star Sea Sect was one of the Three Sects of Dragon Star Country, ranking among the six top forces.

And the Duan Family was also one of the Four Great Families, with a distinguished status.

These two forces were of considerable significance; their Tea Garden Meeting attracted nearly ninety percent of the young talents from Tianhuang County.
