"Where was he?"
"It was the Veil Rune. He stole the Veil Rune."
"Damn it, damn it!"
Everyone who had realized what happened turned pale.
The black-robed peak Inner Core assassin who had just ambushed Lin Xuan was a jade-token-bearing killer from the Bloodshadow Fiendlands.
With the Middle Concealment Rune and a special concealment technique, his mission success rate had reached one hundred percent. He had never failed.
He was known as the life-reaping Grim Reaper in the darkness, and had even assassinated Golden Core Realm experts before.
That Golden Core Realm expert had been slaughtered before he could even react.
Yet such a man had now died, unable to react at all, crushed beneath absolute power.
Most crucially, his Middle Concealment Rune had changed hands.
It was hard to imagine just how dangerous Lin Xuan would become now that he possessed the Veil Rune.
Countless people had already begun to tremble inwardly.
From the instant Lin Xuan vanished, they had remained on guard.
"Feiyu, watch out!"
Suddenly, Xiang Baiwei's voice rang out, and Xiang Feiyu's eyes flew wide open.
A battle saber gleaming with brilliant white immortal light suddenly stabbed toward his kidney...
"Feiyu, watch out!"
As Xiang Baiwei's shout spread, Xiang Feiyu's eyes widened sharply as well.
He clearly sensed Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan had obviously activated the Veil Rune and silently appeared behind him, revealing himself only when he attacked.
At that moment, nearly everyone was stunned, their hearts seized by terror.
No one had expected that the first thing Lin Xuan would do after seizing the Veil Rune was directly attack an Adamant Realm mighty figure.
A Nascent Core Realm cultivator attacking an Adamant Realm cultivator—those were two entirely different major realms, separated by a whole great realm.
How dared he?
Even Liu Lubai was shaken.
