618: Chapter 616: He’s Still Alive!

The words of the Mu family again brought silence to the grand hall.

Many were alarmed, it seemed that the Mu family had clashed with the Holy Dragon Fighting Arena.

“Brother Mu is right, that guy is truly detestable, daring not to attend the banquet!” a young man snorted coldly.

Immediately, everyone was shocked, and many displayed expressions of schadenfreude.

Nangong Sheng also frowned, feeling uneasy.

Because the young man who spoke was from the City Lord Mansion, and he was a young master there, holding a revered status.

At this moment, his expression of dissatisfaction naturally placed him alongside the Mu family.

“Young Master Qi is right, I think we should capture Lin Xuan and give him a good lesson!” Hei Mu Mountain sneered.

“Don’t worry, I will send someone…” the young man said in a deep tone.

“No need, Lin Xuan has arrived!”

A calm voice resounded, and suddenly a figure appeared in the grand hall.

Everyone looked and saw that it was indeed Lin Xuan.

Sigh!

Nangong Sheng and Ma Rulong both breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts finally settled.

Hei Mu Mountain’s pupils shrank drastically, shocked to his feet.

“You, you’re alright?”

“What, you hoped something had happened to me?” Lin Xuan sneered, “Or did your plan fail?”

Hearing this, Hei Mu Mountain’s face changed: “What nonsense are you talking about, I don’t understand!”

He had indeed sent a top assassin to kill Lin Xuan, but he would never admit it.

However, Lin Xuan’s arrival was beyond his expectations.

“Damn it, how could he still be alive?” Hei Mu Mountain couldn’t understand.

It must be noted that he had hired a top assassin, a martial artist known as the Dark Hunter, normally invincible under the Venerable Realm.

And Lin Xuan had managed to escape.

Hei Mu Mountain didn’t know what had happened, but he wouldn’t let Lin Xuan go.

“Hmph, Lin Xuan, you have some nerve!

You dare to be late to the City Lord’s birthday banquet!”

“I see you are intentionally challenging the City Lord’s authority!”

Hei Mu Mountain snorted coldly, intending to intimidate Lin Xuan.

“Challenging the City Lord?” Lin Xuan looked at Hei Mu Mountain and sneered, “I’m curious if you’re a worm in my stomach, knowing my thoughts.”

“Or is this all just your wild guess!”

“Hei Mu Mountain, this is the City Lord Mansion, it’s not your place to act wildly!”

Lin Xuan’s voice was determined, like the clash of iron cavalry.

“You—”

Hei Mu Mountain’s face turned red with rage, his whole body trembling.

A Little Martial Artist, daring to scold him to his face, this was courting death!

No one had ever dared to do this to him, Hei Mu Mountain’s eyes emitted endless killing aura.

“Humph, where did this wild boy come from, this isn’t your place to act wildly, get out!”

An elder of the Mu family snorted coldly.

“What, the young isn’t working, so the old are stepping in?” Lin Xuan remained unafraid, “This is the City Lord’s grand birthday, looking for a fight, you’ve got the wrong place, haven’t you?”

“Wait until the City Lord’s birthday wishes are done, the Holy Dragon Pavilion Martial Arts Arena is always welcoming, but for now, please, do not disturb the City Lord’s birthday banquet!”

Lin Xuan’s voice was sonorous.

Immediately, the entire Mu family’s faces turned dark with anger.

The surrounding crowd was also startled, Lin Xuan was truly formidable.

Able to turn the situation around under such unfavorable conditions, truly remarkable.

In just a few words, Lin Xuan had covered over the matter of being late and instead seized the Mu family’s lapse to rapidly counterattack, truly elegant.

“Good grief, such a sharp-tongued lad, but it’s useless.

Though the Heimu family can’t handle you, I can!” Young Master Qi snorted coldly, looking at Lin Xuan with a hint of chill in his gaze.

His hostility towards Lin Xuan had two reasons.

Firstly, since he was in good terms with the Heimu family, he naturally stood with them to suppress Lin Xuan.

Furthermore, as a young, esteemed martial artist, he was very conceited.

Apart from a few Heavenly Prides, he really didn’t consider anyone else noteworthy.

Lately, the entire Quicksand City had been talking about Lin Xuan, which greatly annoyed him.

He didn’t have such fame, and why should a little martial artist from the Spirit Communication Realm get such treatment?

Therefore, upon seeing Lin Xuan today, a thought of suppression arose in his mind.

Seeing Young Master Qi’s attitude, Lin Xuan frowned; the other party was from the City Lord Mansion, so it was not suitable to openly oppose him.

Especially since today was the special day of the City Lord’s birthday.

However, Lin Xuan was not someone who suffered losses without retaliation—Young Master Qi’s attitude did not matter much to him.

What mattered to him was the attitude of the City Lord.

Yet, that City Lord was always shrouded in a murky radiance, completely indiscernible.

It was Nangong Sheng who transmitted a message, informing him about the previous matter.

After learning this, Lin Xuan felt reassured.

Since the City Lord had accepted the Thousand-year-old Peach Seed, his attitude probably wouldn’t be too bad.

With this thought, he gave a slight smile.

“You’re also from the City Lord Mansion; saying this really breaks a person’s heart.”

Lin Xuan looked pained.

“My lateness was not without reason; I had a valid reason for doing so.”

“Reason?” Young Master Qi snorted coldly.

“Of course, I have a reason.

My lateness was because I went to prepare a gift for the City Lord.”

“Gift?” Everyone was stunned—hadn’t the Holy Dragon Pavilion just given a thousand-year-old spiritual fruit seed?

What gift could there be now?

Nangong Sheng and others were also stunned, unsure of what Lin Xuan was up to.

The people from the Heimu family just sneered, full of disbelief.

Young Master Qi also snorted coldly, “With such a long preparation time for the gift, it must be a treasure, right?

If you can’t produce it, watch me chop off your head.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan revealed a mysterious smile.

Although he had been cultivating these days, he also learned from Nangong Sheng that, though the City Lord was a Venerable, he had a hobby.

That was drinking.

Thus, Lin Xuan had brewed a pot of Spiritual Wine in advance.

With this Spiritual Wine, Lin Xuan followed the teachings of the Lord of Wine, his techniques could be described as shocking and extraordinary—probably no one other than the Lord of Wine could surpass him.

With a flip of his palm, a pot of Spiritual Wine appeared in his hand.

“Knowing that the City Lord loves to drink, I brewed a pot for City Lord Qing to taste.” Lin Xuan smiled.

“Taste?” Young Master Qi snorted, “What are you to expect?

You should know the City Lord has a golden physique; how would he drink your lousy wine!”

The surrounding martial artists laughed too; they knew about the City Lord’s love for liquor but never really saw anyone gifting wine.

Because the City Lord not only loved liquor, but he was also picky.

Ordinary Spiritual Wine didn’t catch his interest, only the ones brewed by great masters of the wine path suited his taste.

Thus, although others wanted to give wine, they simply couldn’t.

“Ah, this young chap is going to be unlucky.

What good wine could a little martial artist present—probably a failed attempt to please and now troubles await!”

“Hehe, serves him right.

Giving Spiritual Wine isn’t that simple!”

Nangong Sheng and the others were surprised too, not knowing that Lin Xuan had brewed Spiritual Wine.

Heimu Shan meanwhile sneered, “Fool, truly courting death!”

Originally, he couldn’t find a way to deal with Lin Xuan, but unexpectedly, Lin Xuan had walked right into his trap.

The City Lord would definitely refuse; by then, it was very likely he’d be enraged, and that would be the end for Lin Xuan!

Lin Xuan noted everyone’s reactions but was quite confident in his heart.

With a slight smile, he opened the lid of the wine jug.
