Up next, Young Master Ling Feng swiftly initiated his plan.
Soon, news of the assassination of the Duan Family’s core elder spread, with many martial artists even witnessing it firsthand.
In an instant, rumors and gossip filled the air,
and it wasn’t long before news arrived that two core elders from the Shen Family were also killed.
Then ca the third.
"What? Another three core elders killed? Has the Duan Family gone mad, how can they let their core elders co out?"
Many were shocked, and a lot of them were skeptical.
"This is normal, many of the Duan Family’s holdings have suffered severe blows, so their resources have likely dwindled significantly. If they continue to hide, they may eventually run out of resources."
"So that’s why they took the risk to co out."
"Makes sense, but the opponent is too strong, to be able to kill the core elders of the Duan Family."
"We don’t know if it’s the work of a single faction, do we?"
"Yeah, if it’s truly the sa faction, then they can exchange the Longevity Pill."
Everyone beca excited, and countless eyes were on the Shen Family, while even more people went to the First-class Hall to investigate if a Longevity Pill had been exchanged.
At this mont, an ordinary-looking grey-clothed man walked into the First-class Hall.
The grey-clothed middle-aged man was very low-key and had a common appearance, with his aura suppressed, so no one noticed him in the crowd.
The managers of the First-class Hall didn’t pay attention either, but after the man said a sentence, they took notice.
This isn’t the place to discuss matters, follow to the back.
Soon, the grey-clothed man was brought to a lounge in the back.
"Is what you said true?" asked the steward of the First-class Hall.
"Of course it’s true, how could I lie about sothing like this," the grey-clothed man replied.
The steward of the First-class Hall said, "That may be so, but we still need to verify the goods in advance."
"I’m just the ssenger, I don’t have the goods on , of course you can verify them, just not here."
The grey-clothed man said, "After all, assassinating the Duan Family’s core elders is a big deal. Moreover, it involves three of them — if this news gets out, the Duan Family will be relentless against us."
"At that ti, we might be killed before we even leave this place."
Upon hearing this, the steward of the First-class Hall frowned: "What do you propose then?"
"The exchange can happen, but it must be in another location."
"Where to?"
"Nanshan City."
The steward of the First-class Hall thought for a mont, then said: "I can’t make this decision, I can only relay the ssage upwards, but I don’t know the outco."
"No problem, I can wait here."
"Three days, I hope to get the information I want within these three days," the grey-clothed man said calmly.
"Alright, we at the First-class Hall will arrange accommodations for you."
Soon after, the steward opened the door, called soone to prepare a room, and quickly reported the matter up the chain.
Soon, Lin Xuan received the news.
"You an soone killed three core elders of the Duan Family to exchange for a Longevity Pill, but they don’t want to exchange at the First-class Hall, preferring to go elsewhere?" Lin Xuan frowned.
"That’s what they said, Brother Xuan, I think sothing’s fishy about this, should we decline the offer?" Yu Fei asked.
"Where did they choose to trade?"
"Nanshan City."
"Has that place been investigated?"
"Yes, nothing unusual found, and Nanshan City doesn’t belong to the Duan Family’s sphere of influence, it’s not too far from Wind-Seeking City either."
"What about their strength, has it been investigated?"
"No, they didn’t reveal any signs, and we couldn’t find out," Yu Fei replied, "Brother Xuan, my work fell short."
"Never mind," Lin Xuan thought for a mont and then asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"The opponent is too mysterious, I’m worried it’s a trap, plus both the Ninth Elder and Tenth Elder aren’t here, we don’t have reliable strongn if sothing goes wrong."
"The Longevity Pill is too enticing, if we use strongn from other forces, it could go awry."
Yu Fei voiced his concerns.
Indeed, the Longevity Pill is a divine dicine defying the heavens, whether consud or sold, it’s worth a fortune. So only soone extrely trustworthy can be given the pill to exchange.
"Looks like I’ll have to go myself." Lin Xuan sighed.
"No way! Brother Xuan, it’s too dangerous, if it’s a trap by the Duan Family, the consequences would be severe." Yu Fei quickly objected.
"In truth, I think it’s a trap too, but I still want to have a look," Lin Xuan laughed, "Lately, I’ve been practicing sothing useful, just right to test its effectiveness."
"Don’t worry, even if the other side has a half-step king, I’m confident I can retreat safely."
"Really?" Yu Fei was shocked, could he retreat safely against a half-step king?
Lin Xuan gave a mysterious smile: "Tell that person, I’ll be going."
"Yes."
Seeing Lin Xuan’s confident smile, Yu Fei didn’t persuade further.
After he left, Lin Xuan also stowed his smile, looking a bit serious.
"Duan Family, let see what kind of tricks you pull!"
The Dark Red Divine Dragon beside him said, "Kid, don’t worry, with this emperor here, you’ll definitely leave safely."
"The Mystic Jade Platform I refined this ti can teleport two hundred miles, as long as it’s not a king, there won’t be any issues."
"That’s good," Lin Xuan was full of confidence.
Next, Lin Xuan prepared a bit and set off.
This ti, he didn’t bring anyone along, just the Dark Red Divine Dragon and the Snow White Monkey.
He wasn’t worried, firstly, the Red Lotus Battle Armor he just refined could mitigate seventy percent of damage, greatly increasing his safety.
Secondly, his cultivation of the two Earth Rank Techniques had advanced, significantly enhancing his strength, plus he had the Dark Red Divine Dragon as a helper.
If he really couldn’t win, there’s also the Mystic Jade Platform of the Dark Red Divine Dragon, which could teleport him away, making it quite safe.
That’s why he dared to go alone.
At the First-class Hall, the grey-clothed man received this news and smiled, but the smile had a sowhat sinister feel.
He knew the fish had taken the bait, and next was to reel it in.
The grey-clothed man stayed patiently at the First-class Hall, waiting until Lin Xuan arrived three days later.
"Greetings, Young Master Lin." The grey-clothed man slightly bowed to Lin Xuan.
"Hmm." Lin Xuan nodded, "I don’t have much ti, let’s hurry and set off."
"Alright, Young Master Lin, follow ."
The grey-clothed man didn’t delay, quickly soaring into the air. Lin Xuan’s shape flickered, following behind.
The two remained silent along the way.
After about two hours, the grey-clothed man in front suddenly spoke, "Young Master Lin, ahead is Nanshan City."
With that, he descended toward a city below.
Lin Xuan squinted his eyes slightly, glanced below, raised the corner of his mouth, and then followed suit.
Swish swish!
The two landed on the street.
Once inside the city, the footsteps of the grey-clothed man noticeably quickened, and it wasn’t long before they arrived in front of a residence.
The vermilion gate was a full three ters wide and five ters tall, magnificent, with two statues of exotic beasts at the entrance, vivid and lifelike.
"Young Master Lin, this is the place, please co inside," the grey-clothed man said.
"Hmm," Lin Xuan nodded, showing no expression.
Seeing this, the grey-clothed man said nothing more, quickly leading the way in. Once both were fully inside the residence, the grey-clothed man ahead breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s done, once the person is inside, there’s no escaping this trap!
This residence was set up with multiple arrays, both defensive and sealing, as well as ones masking auras.
In short, this is a Heaven and Earth Cage, the opponent won’t be able to escape!
