Wang Clan

The group did not linger long and headed straight for the camp at the foot of the mountain. In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the campsite.

Though it was called a camp, it was really just a cluster of tents formed by the various groups that had arrived early and gathered together.

After all, this was the Sky Flame Mountain Range, the territory of demonic beasts. Even Shaping Realm experts had to be cautious when traveling through the mountain range alone, let alone this group of Core Formation Realm experts.

Thus, for the sake of safety, everyone had tacitly pitched their tents together. With so many people gathered in one place, ordinary demonic beasts would not dare attack rashly.

Lin Xuan's group naturally drew the attention of quite a few experts in the camp. Those with keen eyes saw the conspicuous Lin Clan emblems on Lin Ke'er, Lin Xue, and the others behind him, and their pupils shrank slightly.

"I didn't expect the Lin Clan to send people as well!"

Among the crowd, some experts spoke in low, wary voices. The Lin Clan was one of the Four Great Clans of the Great Yan Dynasty, a colossal force that people like them simply could not afford to provoke.

At this moment, some well-informed individuals who were eager for trouble also spoke up.

"Hehe, I heard that the Lin Clan and the Wang Clan have formed a grudge over this Ancient Tomb Mansion. The Wang Clan is in the camp right now—there's going to be a good show!"

"Huh? Who is that person? He doesn't have the Lin Clan emblem on him, so why does he dare stand at the very front of the Lin Clan's group?"

Someone in the crowd suddenly noticed that Lin Xuan's plain white coarse-cloth robe bore no Lin Clan emblem.

"So young, yet clearly of no low status... could it be that the First Genius of the Lin Clan, Lin Langtian, personally led the group?"

However, as soon as the man finished speaking, someone beside him replied.

"Doesn't look like it. Lin Langtian is arrogant to the extreme—why would he personally lead a team? Carrying a sword and dressed in coarse cloth... could that be the Lin Clan's monstrous prodigy himself?"

"Who?"

Hearing such mysterious, evasive words, someone curiously pressed for an answer. After hesitating for a moment, the man who had spoken earlier slowly said, "Lin Xuan. I heard he is the Young Clan Leader of the Lin Clan. Both his strength and status surpass Lin Langtian's!"

"Above Lin Langtian? How is that possible? Lin Langtian is the First Genius of the Lin Clan. How could anyone be stronger than him?"

Someone immediately refuted him. After all, who among those with even a little influence in the Great Yan Dynasty had not heard of Lin Langtian's name?

The man who had spoken earlier sneered disdainfully.

"Hah, Lin Langtian may be impressive, but that depends on who you compare him with. Not long ago, that monstrous prodigy of the Lin Clan killed both Nether Profound Dragons at Great Accomplishment of Creation Realm in Fallen Dragon Pool of Great Yan Prefecture by himself. With that kind of strength, he is absolutely the number one among the younger generation of the Great Yan Dynasty!"

After saying that, the young man who seemed exceptionally well-informed suddenly came to a realization.

"That's right. This Ancient Tomb Mansion was left behind by a Nirvana Realm expert. Perhaps that monstrous prodigy came here personally for the Nirvana Heart left behind by that Nirvana Realm expert!"

Lin Xuan ignored the discussions around him and directly led the Lin Clan's people into the camp, intending to find a place to set up first.

But at that moment, Lin Xuan suddenly stopped and looked to one side. Behind him, Lin Ke'er followed his gaze, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said coldly, "People from the Wang Clan!"

"The Wang Clan?"

Upon hearing Lin Ke'er's words, Lin Dong, who stood beside Wu Tao, could not help turning to look. He saw a group of young people on a nearby rise studying them.

Yet when Lin Dong looked over, he found that the expressions of those young people seemed extremely awkward and unpleasant, their gazes somewhat evasive.

Suddenly, Lin Dong's gaze locked onto one man in the middle of the group. The man wore yellow robes and had handsome features and an extraordinary bearing. At a glance, he was clearly someone of distinguished background.

More importantly, Lin Dong sensed Origin Power fluctuations from the man that were not the least bit weaker than Wu Tao's. Clearly, he was another expert at Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm—and he was very young as well!

However, the man's expression at that moment was the most absurd of all. The cold smile on his face had frozen there, cold sweat continuously seeped from his forehead, and his throat kept bobbing. Lin Dong even saw that his legs were trembling slightly.

After instinctively turning to glance at Lin Xuan, Lin Dong could not help marveling inwardly. Was this the oppressive presence of an unparalleled genius? A single look was enough to make even a genius born into one of the Four Great Clans tremble in fear.

After Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze from the man, he turned to look at a tent not far away, his face carrying a trace of disdain.

The next moment, a sharp Sword Qi rapidly condensed before Lin Xuan, forming a Three Feet Green Edge.

"Buzz!!"

The instant the sword appeared, the air between heaven and earth gained a few more chilling traces of killing intent. Every expert nearby felt immense pressure descend upon them, and all of them turned to stare intently at Lin Xuan.

Under the gazes of countless people, Lin Xuan merely flicked his sleeve calmly. Then, the Three Feet Green Edge shot straight toward that tent.

"Whoosh!"

The sword tore through the air, and an incomparably sharp aura erupted in an instant. Under that fierce Sword Qi, even the ground was left with an extremely deep sword mark.

In the blink of an eye, the Three Feet Green Edge condensed from Sword Qi had arrived before the tent. Just as it was about to tear the tent apart, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from within.

"Bang!"

Under that powerful Origin Power, the Three Feet Green Edge was directly destroyed. Yet the tent was also torn apart in the clash between Lin Xuan and that mysterious expert.

"Hiss!"

All the experts drawn over by the commotion could not help sucking in a cold breath. They were not only astonished by the force of the exchange, but even more shocked that the Wang Clan had secretly dispatched an expert here.

Moreover, from that terrifying Origin Power fluctuation just now, they could clearly sense that the expert's strength had already reached the Qi Creation Realm!

Yet even a Qi Creation Realm expert had needed to strike with full force just to barely withstand Lin Xuan's casual attack!
