Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 344: Challenge Gu Linfeng!

Upon entering the private room, Chu Yue asked, "Do you know the origin of this ring?"

The elder of the Cyan Dragon Pavilion did not answer, instead asking, "Where did you get it?"

Chu Yue frowned. "That’s none of your business. It’s mine, and I’m planning to sell it. Name a price. If it’s fair, I’ll sell it to the Cyan Dragon Pavilion. If not, I’m leaving with it."

"I certainly know what this ring is," the elder said. "It’s a symbol of status belonging to our Young Master. How did you come to possess it?"

Chu Yue was stunned. Your Young Master? I found this in the Ancient Relic. Could it be that the Young Master of the Cyan Dragon Pavilion also entered the Ancient Relic?

She snorted coldly. "I don’t know anything about a Young Master. This is mine. Give it back to me!"

With that, Chu Yue reached forward.

With a cold snort, the elder of the Cyan Dragon Pavilion repelled her.

Chu Yue’s expression changed. "Are you trying to steal my Treasure? Do you know who I am? I am a genius from Heavenly Dao Academy! My name is Chu Yue, and my brother is Chu Zhongtian. You’re dead if you cross me! Now, give it back!"

Chu Yue was incredibly arrogant, showing the Cyan Dragon Pavilion no respect whatsoever. After all, her extraordinary status allowed her to be conceited anywhere she went.

The Cyan Dragon Pavilion’s elder was also surprised. Seeing the insignia on her clothes, he figured she must be from the Heavenly Dao Academy, but he hadn’t expected her to be Chu Zhongtian’s sister.

However, he quickly let out a cold snort. So what if she’s Chu Zhongtian’s sister? Daring to take the Young Master’s property is unacceptable.

He said coldly, "Tell me, where did you get this?"

At this moment, the elder was still unaware that Lin Xuan was alive, much less that he had already arrived at the Cyan Dragon Pavilion. In his mind, Lin Xuan had died in the Ancient Relic. It was possible that this Chu Yue had ambushed the Young Master in the Ancient Relic to get the ring. He had to get to the bottom of this.

"You’d better tell me everything, or don’t blame me for being impolite," the elder said.

Chu Yue was dumbfounded. Is this guy a fool? He knows I’m Chu Zhongtian’s sister and he still dares to threaten me?

She sneered, "I’d advise you not to provoke me. Otherwise, when my brother returns, he’ll destroy your Cyan Dragon Pavilion."

SMACK.

The words had barely left her mouth before a slap sent her sprawling to the floor.

Chu Yue clutched her face, bewildered. The next moment, she shrieked, "You dare hit me?"

She was the little princess of the Heavenly Dao Academy, revered and untouchable. Who would dare to strike her, let alone slap her across the face?

She let out a scream and charged at the elder. "I’ll fight you to the death!"

The elder snorted, extended a large hand, and instantly suppressed her.

"Let me go!" Chu Yue screamed.

However, the elder completely ignored her.

"You can stay here for now." With that, he left with the Cyan Dragon Ring. He was going to see the Pavilion Master. A matter of this significance had to be reported to him immediately.

***

In a parlor within the Cyan Dragon Pavilion, Lin Xuan walked in, removed his black robe, and smiled at the man before him. "Manor Master, long time no see!"

"Young Master, it’s really you!" Tears of joy streamed down the old Cyan Dragon Manor Master’s face. "You’re alive! This is wonderful!"

He was truly overjoyed to see Lin Xuan again. He pulled Lin Xuan to sit down and began asking about his experiences.

Just then, a knock came at the parlor door, and a voice from outside called out, "Pavilion Master, we have a problem!"

The Cyan Dragon Pavilion Master, who was standing nearby, frowned. Who is that? How dare they disturb the Manor Master? Don’t they know he has much to discuss with the Young Master?

"Pavilion Master, it’s urgent!" the elder outside insisted.

"Let him in," the Cyan Dragon Manor Master said.

Only then did the Pavilion Master say to the person outside, "Come in."

Soon, the elder from before walked in and announced, "A young woman arrived with the Cyan Dragon Ring."

"The Cyan Dragon Ring?" The Cyan Dragon Manor Master was stunned. That’s the Young Master’s ring. How could it be in someone else’s hands? Could this girl have an extraordinary relationship with the Young Master? Thinking this, the Cyan Dragon Manor Master looked at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan explained, "The Cyan Dragon Ring fell off during a battle in the Ancient Relic. Someone must have picked it up."

"Who is this person?" Lin Xuan asked.

When the elder saw Lin Xuan, he was overcome with excitement. It’s the Young Master! The Young Master is alive! This is fantastic!

He quickly reported, "Her name is Chu Yue. She’s Chu Zhongtian’s sister."

"So it’s her!" Lin Xuan smiled. "Where is she?"

"I’ve subdued her and left her in the private room."

"Let’s go have a look."

Lin Xuan headed outside, taking the ring from the elder and putting it back on his hand.

The group returned to the private room, where they found Chu Yue still suppressed on the floor.

The elder asked, "Young Master, how should we deal with her?"

Hearing this, Chu Yue’s body trembled with fear. She screamed, "If you dare to touch me, my brother will never forgive you! The Heavenly Dao Academy won’t forgive you either!"

Hmph, as arrogant as ever, Lin Xuan thought with a cold snort. He then said, "Teach her a lesson and throw her out."

"As you command."

Hearing this, Chu Yue’s face paled dramatically.

"Who are you? You dare to lay a hand on me? You’re dead!" Chu Yue roared furiously. That voice is so familiar. I think I know him.

She tried to raise her head to see him, but she was held down and couldn’t move.

"Damn it! You just wait until I find out who you are, ’Young Master’! I swear I’ll never forgive you!"

Soon after, Chu Yue was thrown out.

Humiliated, she turned and fled, vowing to get her revenge. She would absolutely not let the Cyan Dragon Pavilion off, and especially not that Young Master. She was just puzzled. Who was that Young Master? Why did his voice sound so familiar?

Lin Xuan rested at the Cyan Dragon Pavilion for a day to get back into peak condition.

「The next day.」

He prepared to challenge Gu Linfeng.

When the Cyan Dragon Manor Master learned that Lin Xuan planned to make a move, he was stunned. "Young Master, you may not be aware, but this Gu Linfeng is incredibly formidable. He has defeated the top geniuses from this year’s Hidden Dragon Chart, as well as last year’s. Except for Chu Zhongtian, every genius from the last two Hidden Dragon Charts was defeated by him. His strength is at the peak of the two-star Grandmaster realm. It would be too reckless for you to challenge him."

"Indeed," Li Qiushui chimed in from the side. "Young Master, please don’t be impulsive."

Although Lin Xuan had previously slain a two-star Grandmaster, that had only been one at the early two-star stage. This Gu Linfeng was at the two-star peak. Lin Xuan was likely no match for him.

"Rest assured, I can defeat him," Lin Xuan said with confidence. "He’s just at the peak of the two-star realm. That’s nothing to me."

Li Qiushui was dumbfounded.

The Cyan Dragon Manor Master was also in shock. Could the Young Master truly possess such strength?

He carefully probed Lin Xuan’s cultivation, only to find that he was merely a seven-star Martial General. The Manor Master’s brow furrowed deeply. No matter how strong a seven-star Martial General is, he can’t possibly defeat a peak two-star. The Young Master must be boasting.

He continued to advise, "Young Master, I know you killed a two-star elder in the Ancient Relic, but he was only at the early stage. Within the two-star Grandmaster realm, the increase in strength between each minor stage is immense. A peak two-star can instantly kill anyone below that level. Young Master, you must think this through."

Lin Xuan declared, "Don’t worry. At the two-star level, I am invincible! A mere peak two-star is beneath my notice."

After speaking, Lin Xuan left the Cyan Dragon Pavilion.

He headed toward the palace where the geniuses from Liuyun Country were residing. As he approached, Lin Xuan called out in a loud voice, "Gu Linfeng, I’m here to challenge you!"

His words sent shockwaves through the entire city.
