Chapter 847: Chapter 845: Show-Off or Stirring Up Hatred?

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since Lin Xuan left Wind-Seeking City.

During these three days, various factions frantically searched for Lin Xuan, hoping to find him, but all efforts ended in vain.

Many people wore grim faces, despair creeping into their hearts, thinking that perhaps such a treasure as the half Earth-grade artifact was destined to slip through their fingers.

Moreover, what made them even more regretful was that to this day, they still didn’t know which faction Lin Xuan belonged to.

The Wanxiang Auction, upon hearing the news of Lin Xuan’s departure, was furious beyond belief.

Although they were like an overlord in Wind-Seeking City, beyond its borders, they found themselves somewhat powerless.

After all, the Blood Domain was vast, with countless powers, not something that Wanxiang Auction could dominate single-handedly.

However, what they couldn’t do, the forces behind them certainly could.

Shangguan Xian didn’t hesitate; she quickly reported upwards, asking for support.

She reported to her superiors, putting all efforts into tracking down Lin Xuan’s whereabouts, and soon they were rewarded with results.

Holding the jade scroll in her hand, Shangguan Xian read carefully, her pupils suddenly contracted, showing a hint of surprise.

“Immortal Martial Academy!”

She took a deep breath, her expression extremely solemn, never expecting Lin Xuan to be a disciple of Immortal Martial Academy!

The Immortal Martial Academy was very famous in the Blood Domain, and if Lin Xuan hid inside the academy, it would be difficult for them to act.

The Yan Family had many disciples in the Immortal Martial Academy, so it might be better to let them explore first.

Shangguan Xian made her decision and quickly issued the orders.

At the same time, she waited for the strong reinforcements sent from above, preparing to capture Lin Xuan.

In the Immortal Martial Academy, spiritual energy floated like an Immortal Realm.

After a few days of travel, Lin Xuan finally returned.

“Brother Xuan!”

Wang Li and other members of the Dragon Sword Pavilion saw Lin Xuan return safely, and each of them cried out excitedly.

Lin Xuan spent half a day with them and then returned to his courtyard for secluded cultivation.

This time he went into seclusion mainly to carefully study the Lonely Star Sword.

However, after a whole day of research, he found he couldn’t sense the Earth-grade weapon fragment within the Lonely Star Sword at all.

“Kid, although your current strength is strong, your cultivation is too low. To sense the fragment, you need at least the strength of a Third Level Venerate.”

“Still, if you keep wearing it closely, perhaps you might sense it earlier.”

“Wear it closely?”

Hearing this, the corner of Lin Xuan’s mouth twitched. This was a half Earth-grade artifact, and it contained the secret of an Earth-grade fragment inside. Wearing it closely seemed quite an obnoxious move.

However, to be able to perceive the Earth-grade weapon fragment earlier, Lin Xuan endured.

“I’ll wear it closely!”

Lin Xuan inserted the Lonely Star Sword back behind his back, deciding to never take it off, no matter the situation, until he died.

After setting aside the Lonely Star Sword, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and organized his recent gains.

The biggest harvest, besides the Lonely Star Sword, was the Blood Sword Inheritance, which had reached the Third Level, and he had also comprehended a clone technique.

Besides these, he also acquired several storage rings, which was a significant gain.

As for his cultivation, it had reached a kind of Venerable Peak, and he believed it wouldn’t be long before he broke through to a Second-level Venerate.

By then, his strength would greatly increase again.

Having done all that, Lin Xuan pushed open the door and walked out of the courtyard.

“You’re back, I heard you gained quite a bit this time.”

A gentle voice came, Murong Qingcheng stood not far away, smiling at him.

“I heard you acquired a half Earth-grade artifact?” Murong Qingcheng tilted her head, examining Lin Xuan, quickly noticing the blue ancient sword behind him.

“You really like to show off, just carrying a half Earth-grade artifact on your back like that?” Murong Qingcheng was also speechless; this seemed very much like asking for trouble.

“Although I don’t know what you went through outside, there are countless geniuses in this academy. If one of them sees and robs you, you might not even have a place to cry.”

Lin Xuan was speechless, scratching his head.

He didn’t want to be so flashy either, but to sense the Earth-grade fragment earlier, he had to do this.

“How about covering it with a cloth?”

“Forget it, that would attract even more trouble!” Murong Qingcheng said, covering her mouth with a chuckle.

“Alright then, let’s leave it be.” Lin Xuan shrugged, “After all, it’s my thing. If anyone dares to eye it, I wouldn’t mind teaching them a lesson.”

“Besides, this isn’t the first time I’m making enemies of everyone.”

“Back when I was with you, didn’t I also become a public enemy? Now I’m still doing just fine.”

“Pah, who was with you!” Murong Qingcheng’s cheeks turned red, giving Lin Xuan a sideways glance.

“Weren’t you? Then I must have remembered wrong.” Lin Xuan chuckled dryly and walked forward.

“You really deserve a beating.”

Following behind him, Murong Qingcheng said in a teasing voice, “You better be careful. I heard Yan Qingqingfeng is back.”

“Yan Qingfeng.”

Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, sounding as if it was the elder brother of Yan Qingyang.

He naturally wouldn’t forget the grudge between him and the Dao Ling Association; it wouldn’t be long before they came looking.

“Sigh, it really is troublesome.”

Lin Xuan sighed helplessly, finding that the Yan Family was like annoying flies, always buzzing around him.

However, if they dared to cause trouble, he would show them the power of the Lonely Star Sword.

Lin Xuan patted the ancient sword behind him, a cold smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

Soon enough, the news of Lin Xuan returning to the academy spread, along with the news of the half Earth-grade artifact.

After all, Lin Xuan made such a big commotion in Wind-Seeking City; it couldn’t be hidden.

“What did you say? Lin Xuan acquired a half Earth-grade artifact!”

“Heavens, how did he come across such a worldly treasure?”

“What, bought for ten billion Spirit Stones! And battled the whole of Wind-Seeking City!”

In no time, Lin Xuan and the half Earth-grade artifact, the Lonely Star Sword, became the talk of the town.

Countless people were envious, wishing to capture Lin Xuan and ask about it. Some even had designs on the Lonely Star Sword.

Such treasures could tempt any martial artist.

Immortal Martial Academy, Dao Ling Association.

Yan Qingyang’s injuries had healed, yet his face remained grim as he listened to his subordinates report.

“Lin Xuan, this guy, managed to have the luck to get a half Earth-grade artifact, damn it!”

Yan Qingyang’s eyes were full of rage, his once handsome face now twisted beyond recognition.

He was fast becoming crazed with jealousy!

What abilities did Lin Xuan have to possess so many good things?

First, he won the favor of a heavenly lady like Murong Qingcheng, and then he obtained a half Earth-grade artifact. Each of these things made countless people green with envy.

Gritting his teeth, Yan Qingyang growled in his heart, believing these treasures should all belong to him.

Soon, when he learned other news, he trembled with anger.

It was during this rest that his family informed him about the Yan Family disciples being killed in Wind-Seeking City.

Among them was a squad of Yan Family elites, wiped out for attempting to kill Lin Xuan in Wind-Seeking City.

“Damn rascal, does he think my Yan Family has no one!” Yan Qingyang roared in fury.
