Chapter 828: Chapter 826: Invitation

“Let’s go back to the courtyard first.”

Lin Xuan said, although the Lonely Star Sword was now in his possession, he didn’t know who had bought the Phoenix Blood Red Gold. He needed to find out.

The auction had just ended, which was a prime time to gather information, and those people hadn’t gone far. If he managed to find out, he could take action immediately.

If he waited until they had all left, it would be much harder to discover anything.

Originally, with the Lonely Star Sword in hand, staying an extra day in Wind-Seeking City increased his risk, but for the Phoenix Blood Red Gold, he had to take such a risk.

“Let’s do this, Dongfang, you lead the people away first. I will stay for a while and return to the academy once I have news.”

“Brother Xuan, we won’t leave!” Wang Li and the others said determinedly.

“No, you must leave immediately!”

“The matter of the Lonely Star Sword involves many people. It’s possible some terrifying figures might appear later, which makes it too dangerous for you to stay here.”

Besides, acting alone is more convenient. Even if they manage to fight, they won’t be able to stop me.

Lin Xuan had immense confidence, equipped with Earth Rank Body Technique and Mystic Jade Platform; even if his opponent was strong, he could easily escape.

After learning about Lin Xuan’s life-saving techniques, they agreed to return to the academy first.

Yu Fei went out to gather information, while Lin Xuan stayed hidden in Wind-Seeking City. Meanwhile, East Wind Bear and Wang Li led fifty Dragon Sword Pavilion disciples back to the academy overnight.

The fifty Venerables were indeed a powerful force. Even Lin Xuan was quite moved, but this matter was too dangerous.

The appearance of a Supreme Treasure Sword like the Lonely Star Sword was likely to attract terrifying martial artists. If any Dragon Sword Pavilion disciples were injured in the battle, it would be a great loss for him.

These people are all geniuses with extraordinary talent, not yet fully grown, so he didn’t want them to take such risks.

Moreover, he could move more freely alone. Firstly, with his Earth Rank Body Technique, even Third Level Venerables could not match his speed.

Furthermore, he had the Heavenly Transformation Technique, a unique means of concealment.

If he wanted to leave, hardly anyone could stop him.

As for the blood-red mark within him, it had already been eradicated by the Great Dragon Sword Soul.

At night, Lin Xuan meditated silently in the courtyard, cultivating.

The past few days had been filled with intense battles and dangers. He killed more Venerables in these days than his total in the past.

Although it was risky, the benefits were enormous. His Blood Sword Slaughter Inheritance successfully broke through to the Second Level and had now reached the Second Layer Peak. It might not be long before he reaches the Third Level.

This speed of breakthrough was astonishing; the Blood Sword Slaughter Inheritance is a King’s Inheritance, its rarity and difficulty comparable to Earth-grade Martial Arts.

Yet, in such a short time, Lin Xuan was nearing the Third Level. His cultivation speed was indeed shocking.

Of course, this was related to his battles. So much Essence Blood from Venerables was absorbed by the Blood Sword, which was why the Blood Sword Slaughter Inheritance could quickly break through.

Now, everyone had gone, and Lin Xuan was alone in the courtyard.

The night breeze gently rustled the leaves, casting a veil of moonlight.

At this moment, outside the courtyard, a figure appeared like a ghostly mist, quickly emerging.

This was a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard. His eyes sparkled as he looked towards the courtyard.

Inside, Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp sword light flashed from them.

“Since you’re here, why not come in?”

Lin Xuan said calmly.

Outside the courtyard, the middle-aged man showed a trace of surprise, then laughed aloud: “Mr. Lin truly deserves to be a youthful Heavenly Pride. Luo admires you.”

As his laughter was still echoing, the middle-aged man transformed into light and entered the courtyard.

“Though I don’t know who you are, surely you’re not here just to say some complimentary words?”

Lin Xuan said seriously, “If you have a purpose, speak directly.”

“Mr. Lin is indeed straightforward.”

Luo Qingqiu smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll be direct.”

“I wonder if Mr. Lin is interested in joining our Wanxiang Auction House?”

“Although today’s events were a misunderstanding, our Wanxiang Auction House sincerely invites you this time.”

“If you are willing, you will receive an abundance of cultivation resources and limitless martial arts prospects.”

“Wanxiang Auction House?” Lin Xuan’s gaze darkened, but he was very surprised.

The courtyard he rented may not be extremely secret, but ordinary people couldn’t easily find it either.

At least, earlier, both the Huang Family and Leng Family couldn’t locate it.

Yet now, in just half a day, Wanxiang Auction House had pinpointed his location. Such power was truly astonishing.

Wanxiang Auction House, worthy of being a dominant force in Wind-Seeking City!

If such an opportunity were presented to ordinary people, they would surely be ecstatic.

But Lin Xuan wouldn’t. He wouldn’t join any forces.

However, he also wouldn’t immediately refuse; he had to first gather information about Wanxiang Auction House.

“What you mentioned, I can achieve on my own. Why should I join Wanxiang Auction House?”

Upon hearing Lin Xuan’s words, the middle-aged man smiled, his laugh carrying confidence.

“Mr. Lin, you might not know, Wanxiang Auction House isn’t just what appears on the surface.”

“I can’t say much about specifics, but I can reveal a little.”

“Joining us will definitely benefit you, and you’ll have ten times what you have now!”

This opportunity is precious; hopefully, Mr. Lin won’t miss it.

“Let me think about it,” Lin Xuan said calmly, “If there’s nothing else, please leave. I need to cultivate.”

Lin Xuan’s voice was calm, but the rejection within it was clear.

The middle-aged man’s pupils shrank, showing disbelief.

However, as an important figure in the auction house, he had control. Quickly, he returned to his regular demeanor.

He said solemnly, “Young hero, you now have a Half Earth-grade Treasure. You might be beset by troubles. If you join us, I can guarantee that these troubles will disappear instantly.”

This was indeed a tempting offer.

Knowing that Lin Xuan was currently facing a dangerous situation, where a single mistake could lead to his demise.

And now, the middle-aged man offered protection, targeting Lin Xuan’s vulnerability.

If it were anyone else, they might agree immediately, but Lin Xuan still wasn’t swayed.

He had his own plans and had already established his own force. He wouldn’t join another.

So, when hearing that tempting offer, he showed no emotion.

“My response remains the same; let me consider it. If I have thoughts, I’ll reach out to you.”

Lin Xuan’s voice held no inflection.
