The incident shook the entire Qixia Sword Palace.
Two of their most prominent disciples had been forced to kneel in front of their home. This was no different from being punched in the face at the door.
For a time, streaks of rainbows fell like rain as numerous older generation experts stormed out. Each one was a powerful Cyclic Derivation expert.
In the Cyclic Derivation World, such experts would be considered pinnacle existences.
At the sight of the crippled Ouyang Qing and Lan Yingxue kneeling on the ground with a bleak expression, the bigwigs from Qixia Sword Palace revealed stormy and furious expressions.
All of their gazes immediately homed in on a single person.
Lan Yingxue cried out like a drowning person who suddenly found a ray of hope, “Elders, save me!”
It was a distressing scene to witness for the bigwigs, causing them to grow increasingly enraged as murder filled their eyes.
However, Lin Xun softly said, “They can't save you either. Or rather, no one in this world can save you.”
There was a tone of absolute confidence in his voice.
“How arrogant!”
A short-tempered elder could no longer hold back and lunged forward ferociously. With a wave of his sleeve, a thick wave of sword qi rose up and tore through the air.
This was the power of a Cyclic Derivation expert. Even a single sword from one would produce an astonishing sight.
Lin Xun didn't try to dodge. Instead, he moved his hand as if drawing a sword.
Sword draw art - Three Inches of Eternal Silence!
Power equivalent to several thousand feet of sword qi erupted from the three-inch blade. Space was abruptly torn apart like a canvas as the approaching sword wave was effortlessly pulverized.
Plop!
The elder was sent flying by the force. His clothes were ripped apart and the armor beneath was cracked as sword qi invaded his body, seriously injuring his internal organs.
Blood gushed from his mouth and nose as he crashed into the ground, revealing a horrified expression.
Complete silence smothered the area.
A single sword move had gravely injured a Cyclic Derivation expert!
Fear flooded the Qixia Sword Palace bigwigs as their expressions changed one after another. Only now did they finally realize that the plainly-dressed young man possessed the aura of the perfect Heaven Ascension Stage.
The realization made their hearts twitch violently and filled them with even more shock. After all, the difference between the Heaven Ascension Stage and the Cyclic Derivation Stage was an entire greater cultivation stage!
Who was this youngster?
How could someone so young possess perfect Heaven Ascension cultivation while also being capable of one-shotting an opponent an entire greater cultivation stage higher?!
It was horrifying to even think about.
One must know that youths like Lan Yingxue and Ouyang Qing were already considered top talents in the Ning Province. However, even geniuses like them were only at the Spirit Sea Stage.
Lan Yingxue was also so frightened and shocked by this revelation that her mind went blank. How could a lowly youth from a rural village possibly possess such strength?
“I'm only here to seek justice on a matter that has nothing to do with all of you. Of course, feel free to try me if you aren’t afraid of death.”
Lin Xun’s expression was chillingly composed. Although he was but one person, he gave off the aura of someone who was capable of facing a thousand men alone.
His words were met by deathly silence.
The elders looked conflicted and uncertain while the younger generation disciples looked as if their souls had been frightened out of them.
Suddenly, the dignified voice of a middle-aged man sounded, “If word spreads that we allowed you to get away with this crime in front of my Qixia Sword Palace, how can we show our face again in Ning Province?”
Clang!
A dazzling blue flying sword emerged from between his brows, surrounded by a rose-tinted glow.
The dignified middle-aged man declared, “This humble one is called Yue Hengfeng and I’m the master of Qixia Sword Palace. If you manage to stop my sword, Qixia Sword Palace will admit defeat and allow you to do as you please with the two of them!”
Everyone’s expressions changed. The palace master wanted to decide the victor with one sword!
“Smart man.”
Lin Xun glanced at Yue Hengfeng. Although his current body looked like a teenager, he had remarked as if he was commenting about a junior, which triggered everyone present. Such an attitude was simply too arrogant!
Was there anyone who didn’t know that the master of their Qixia Sword Palace was the fourth most powerful sword cultivator in Ning Province?
However, Yue Hengfeng didn't appear to be offended. With a deep breath, boiling and vigorous sword intent surged from him and soared into the sky.
The surrounding space buzzed loudly while the weaker disciples were so frightened that they nearly fell on their butts.
The scene also made Lan Yingxue see a glimmer of hope. Yue Hengfeng was her master and a perfect Cyclic Derivation Stage sword cultivator.
Only a handful of people in this world were capable of stopping his sword.
“Rise!”
The flying sword in front of Yue Hengfeng rose. Dreadful sword qi undulations flowed along it, stirring the wind and clouds as if it were a divine dragon.
Everyone from Qixia Sword Palace was in shock and awe. Only now did they discover how unfathomable their palace master’s sword mastery had grown.
In fact, he could probably challenge the top three spots among the great sword cultivators of Ning Province!
The sword finally aroused a sliver of Lin Xun’s interest.
He didn’t hold anything back and attacked with the full invincible might of history’s number one Heaven Ascension expert. The move was the same sword drawing art inherited from the number one sword exalt of the Ancient Nebula Underworld.
Three Inches of Eternal Silence!
Slash!
Meanwhile, the flying sword in front of Yue Hengfeng rushed forth like a blue rainbow. It furiously slashed downwards like a world-destroying bolt of blue lightning.
However, the dazzling, unrivaled, and terrifying sword qi was easily cut in half in the blink of an eye as if it were but a piece of cloth.
At the same time, the flying sword struck down from the air. With a bang, it was embedded into the ground, shuddering violently as a crack appeared on its blade.
Plop!
Yue Hengfeng coughed blood and trembled, his face full of horror.
A young Heaven Ascension expert had easily crushed his most prided and strongest sword!
Deathly silence hung in the frozen air and everyone was rooted to the spot, unable to believe their eyes.
The glimmer of hope Yang Yingxue had just seen shattered, leaving nothing but darkness in her sight. How was this possible...
“I told you that no one in this world can save you.” Lin Xun softly said, still unnervingly calm and composed.
“Qixia Sword Palace acknowledges our defeat!”
With these words, Yue Hengfeng turned away with a flourish of his sleeves.
“See, your master can't save you either.”
Every word from Lin Xun struck Lan Yingxue's heart like a heavy hammer, making her lose control and scream, “Yun Changkong, you liar. Why did you never tell me that you're also a cultivator? Do you know how much I suffered to cultivate over the past three years? I can’t believe that you’ve been lying to me from the start!”
Lin Xun was truly stunned this time. He never expected that Lan Yingxue would still act so self-righteous at this juncture.
Had she never...considered that she was at fault?
After a moment of silence, Lin Xun said, “Let me ask you, when you were a child wandering and begging on the streets, who was it who took you in, raised you, and treated you as one of their own?”
Lan Yingxue sneered, “You must be referring to your mother. Why do you think that old thing treated me well? Wasn’t she planning from the very beginning to make me marry you when I grew up?”
Lin Xun’s eyes glowed with cold indifference. He said, “Let me ask you again. Three years ago, who spent all of their savings to send you to Qixia Sword Palace to cultivate?”
Lan Yingxue displayed a disdainful expression, “Yun Changkong, are you saying this to make me repent? Let me tell you that I will never admit it even if I die!”
Lin Xun couldn't help but feel sorry for Yun Changkong and his mother. They had scrimped and saved for so many years only to raise a selfish and extremely vicious wolf.
If not for him, Lan Yingxue would probably still be a proud daughter of the heavens in the eyes of the world, enjoying the envy and admiration of countless people.
Meanwhile, the infatuated country bumpkin Yun Changkong would still be dreaming about bringing his childhood sweetheart home to marry her. In the end, he would be poisoned by his beloved...
How devastated would his old mother be to know that her son would never return?
It was such a cruel and unjust world.
However, since Lin Xun had encountered this matter, he would ensure that it was settled well.
“I'm not going to kill you.”
Lin Xun indifferently said, “However, I'll take everything from you. Your prided looks, your cultivation, your status, your fame...from now on, none of these shall belong to you.
“I'd like to see who in this world will still view you as a prided daughter of the heavens. I wonder how those who flattered and fawned over you in the past will act after you’ve been reduced to trash.”
Word after word was ruthlessly stabbed into Lan Yingxue's heart like sharp knives. Her expression drastically changed, feeling utterly terrified.
Over the past three years, she had been a moon surrounded by stars everywhere she went. Her appearance alone made many women depressed, and she was even the Qixia Sword Palace master’s disciple who enjoyed superior status in Ning Province.
But if all of this was taken away...
That would be worse than killing her!
“Nooo, noo, I was wrong, Changkong, please, I beg you, spare me on account that we grew up together.”
In a dishevelled state, Lan Yingxue cried and begged, “Weren't you going to take me home to get married? I'll go with you now. Your mother will be my mother in the future. I will definitely be a hundred times kinder to her. So please, please don't be so heartless...”
She was truly afraid at this moment.
The sight of their goddess Lan Yingxue begging so desperately made the Qixia Sword Palace disciples’ admiration and adoration crumble to pieces.
However, not the slightest trace of pity was visible in Lin Xun’s eyes.
On this day, a dazzling individual from the younger generation and the Qixia Sword Palace Master’s disciple, Lan Yingxue, had her cultivation crippled and her face disfigured.
On this day, the young clan leader of the Ouyang Clan, Ouyang Qing, also had his cultivation crippled.
On this day, the master of Qixia Sword Palace was wounded by a single sword.
On this day, news of this incident shook Ning Province and drew the attention of the entire world, causing countless cultivators to shudder.
Meanwhile, Qixia Sword Palace was disgraced and their prestige plummeted.
On this day, the name Yun Changkong resounded across the heavens.
However, none of this had anything to do with Lin Xun. When he left Qixia Sword Palace, he took away the Yun family's ancestral heirloom.
To his surprise, he felt a familiar law power fluctuation the moment he laid eyes on the jade pendant!
