Duan Nianwei and the others came after that sharp Sword Intent.
They had just split up and walked a short distance when they noticed fluctuations of Spiritual Power coming from the direction Lin Xuan had gone.
Almost instantly, everyone realized that Lin Xuan must have encountered remnants of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult.
Therefore, Duan Nianwei rushed over, fearing that if she was too slow, she would find Lin Xuan's corpse.
The woman in yellow followed closely behind.
When the group arrived at the place where the Spiritual Power fluctuations were the most intense, they realized that a great battle had taken place there.
"... This feeling of Spiritual Power is indeed consistent with the cultivation Cultivation Method practiced by the Karmic Fire Demon Cult."
Duan Nianwei examined the remaining Spiritual Power at the scene, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.
But soon, a look of shock flashed across her eyes.
"Wrong..."
How could that be?
After the investigation was completed, Duan Nianwei was utterly astonished.
One side that once fought a great battle here was indeed their target, but the other side was an unparalleled sword cultivator!
Duan Nianwei is known as the Sword Fairy.
He is a sword cultivator.
She could sense that there was still an unparalleled Sword Intent remaining in this place, and that Sword Intent was extremely sharp, far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.
Even though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, and only felt a lingering trace of it, Duan Nianwei's shock remained undiminished.
Such Sword Intent...
How terrifying!
She had never sensed this even among the sword-wielding saint masters of the Supreme Institute.
In an instant, Duan Nianwei made a decision.
That remnant of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult must be dead. He was indeed talented, but he would have no chance against a swordsman like him.
at the same time.
Duan Nianwei felt a sense of relief.
This was because she sensed the lingering presence of the remnants of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult in this place.
Even just a breath was enough to make her heart pound.
It's easy to imagine that this young master of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult is probably much stronger than described in the mission!
If I were to encounter him, I fear the odds would be against me.
That was close...
She pursed her lips slightly and followed the lingering scent of the scene to the small courtyard.
Before even stepping into the courtyard, Duan Nianwei noticed the broken array around it.
At the same time, she also saw the corpse of the young master of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult, who had died tragically in the courtyard.
Duan Nianwei was not surprised at all by his death.
But when she looked around, she couldn't find any trace of the supreme swordsman, and couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
Despite her disappointment, Duan Nianwei waved her hand, put the corpse of the remnant of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult into her Storage Bag, and turned to look at the woman in yellow beside her.
"Let's split up and search around to see where the other three are."
"If we can find it, we'll return together; if we can't..."
Duan Nianwei hesitated, then shook her head.
The woman in yellow pursed her lips and nodded.
The gray-robed student and the black-robed student weren't in this direction, so there shouldn't be any major problems, but Lin Xuan...
She sighed immediately.
There's no trace of Lin Xuan here; I'm afraid it's...
well.
Just as they had expected, the two stayed an extra half day, searching all over Ten Thousand Paths City, but still couldn't find Lin Xuan.
The appearance of that mysterious swordsman they had never met was a huge stroke of luck for them.
If it weren't for the other party, their trip would likely have ended in grave danger.
Even though they didn't officially fight the young master of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult, on their return journey, there were still only Duan Nianwei and the woman in yellow.
Lin Xuan is probably dead; his fate is likely sealed, and we haven't even seen his body.
The gray-robed and black-robed students were even more unlucky.
The two suggested splitting up, intending to trick Lin Xuan, but in the end, they ended up getting themselves into trouble.
Although the two of them did not encounter the remnant young master, they did encounter other members of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult Sect.
Unfortunately, he was killed by members of a demonic cult.
When Duan Nianwei arrived, it was too late. She only saw the bodies of two people who had just died, and some members of the Demonic Sect who hadn't had time to leave.
She suppressed her anger and killed the member of the demonic sect, but she couldn't save the lives of the other two.
The reason Lin Xuan wasn't in the courtyard was that when he saw Duan Nianwei and the other person appear, he immediately decided to throw out the corpse of the young master of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult to attract their attention.
He himself fled quickly into the distance.
Duan Nianwei and her companion arrived rather quickly. He hadn't had time to deal with the Holy Spirit aura in his sleeve. If it were detected, it would surely cause unnecessary trouble.
It's best not to reveal certain things before you've fully recovered your strength.
Therefore, Lin Xuan briefly avoided the area, and only reappeared after sealing the Holy Spirit aura in his sleeve.
At this moment, Duan Nianwei and the woman in yellow had already left Ten Thousand Paths City and were walking towards the city gate, about to board the flying boat, when they saw Lin Xuan appear near the flying boat.
Originally, Duan Nianwei felt somewhat sad.
She even gave Lin Xuan some pointers once.
Unexpectedly, despite promising to protect him, he still perished during this mission...
But before this sadness could even take hold, she saw Lin Xuan in person.
For a moment, Duan Nianwei was stunned.
She blurted it out almost without thinking.
You're not dead?
Lin Xuan shrugged helplessly.
"No... By the way, why are there only the two of you? Where are the other two?"
Duan Nianwei originally wanted to ask something, but Lin Xuan's words immediately diverted her attention.
She shook her head heavily, her expression returning to its usual coldness.
"They were both unlucky; they were killed by members of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised, yet also found it amusing.
Before this, the two had deliberately tried to separate and frame him.
Unexpectedly, he brought trouble upon himself, shooting himself in Stone foot.
If they hadn't been separated on this trip, the two of them might not have died.
All I can say is...
That's fate.
Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves.
The young master of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult is dead, and his body is in Duan Nianwei's hands. As long as he dies, anyone in the team can receive the reward, so it is not limited to whoever is carrying the body.
The reason Lin Xuan threw away the corpse of the young master of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult earlier was for this reason. In any case, all the members who took on the mission would receive rewards, so he didn't need to keep them all for himself. Moreover, although he didn't need them, Duan Nianwei and the woman in yellow had taken good care of him along the way.
The airship was fast. Without the two people, one in gray and one in black, although they were of questionable character, they were still students from the same academy, and they were somewhat silent on the way back.
As they approached the Supreme Institute, Lin Xuan stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes suddenly flashing.
He waved, slowing the speed of the flying boat, and slowly spoke, meeting the somewhat puzzled gazes of the other two.
"You two go back first. I have some things to take care of and need to go to Supreme City."
Why so suddenly?
Sword Fairy Duan Nianwei frowned in confusion, a hint of doubt rising in her heart.
Now, the flying boat has officially arrived at the area where Supreme City is located.
Supreme City is a city located outside Supreme Institute, not far from Supreme Institute, and is under the jurisdiction of Supreme Institute.
Even though she had doubts, Duan Nianwei didn't ask any further questions. After all, it was Lin Xuan's business, and she and he were just nodding acquaintances.
She nodded coolly, stopped the flying boat, watched Lin Xuan disembark, and then left with the woman in yellow.
Lin Xuan watched the departing flying boat, a slight smile playing on his lips, but he did not head towards the nearby Supreme City.
He walked slowly towards the nearby dense forest, his steps leisurely, and in a short time, his figure disappeared into the secluded woods.
Upon seeing this, those who had been observing Lin Xuan from the shadows were overjoyed almost instantly!
They had been waiting for Lin Xuan for a long time!
Originally, when they saw that Lin Xuan had actually returned with the Sword Fairy, they all hesitated and dared not make a move.
Everyone in the academy knew of the Sword Fairy's fame.
She was exceptionally talented and had a cool and aloof personality, but she despised petty thieves and scoundrels the most, and they dared not provoke her.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan's luck was so good that he was able to go on a mission with the Sword Fairy and even return together with her...
The person lying in wait for Lin Xuan, Jin Yunchao, was already extremely annoyed and disappointed, thinking that he would return empty-handed this time.
But fate had other plans. Just as they were about to arrive at the Supreme Institute, Lin Xuan suddenly stopped, left the flying boat, and parted ways with the Sword Fairy!
He was instantly overjoyed, and even couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.
"It's truly a case of fate decrees your death, and you have no choice but to die!"
"You've chosen the path to heaven but refused to take it, so you're barging into hell! Come with me!"
Seeing the spot where Lin Xuan's figure disappeared, he panicked and immediately summoned his men to chase after him.
However, when he chased into the secluded dense forest, he found a young man in white already waiting in the same spot, who had not gone far.
Lin Xuan stopped here because he sensed a familiar aura. He had long intended to resolve some troubles within the academy, which is why he suddenly changed his mind.
Seeing that they actually dared to chase after him, Lin Xuan slowly turned around, looked at the group of people who had caught up, and grinned.
"You actually dared to chase after us."
Lin Xuan smiled.
Jin Yunchao also sneered, looking at Lin Xuan with a mocking expression, his eyes full of confidence.
"I should be the one saying that, kid! You actually dared to leave the academy!"
"You think you can look down on everyone just because you've reached the Perfect Emperor Realm? Heh!"
"In the Supreme Institute, Perfect Emperor Realm is really nothing special."
As Jin Yunchao spoke, he gestured with his chin toward his back.
"Go, teach this kid a lesson!"
The two students following closely behind him also revealed mocking smiles, no longer suppressing their strength. The aura of the Venerable Realm surged out, releasing their pressure, and together they fiercely pressed down on Lin Xuan!
Jin Yunchao's eyes were filled only with smugness and pleasure.
He laughed loudly.
"I told you long ago not to leave the academy and not to let me run into you outside. Although my cultivation level is lower than yours, do you really think that a mere Perfect Emperor Realm cultivator can do whatever they want?"
That victorious grin, which looked like a clown's, made Lin Xuan laugh out loud, and he nodded casually.
"I certainly don't feel like I can do whatever I want."
After all, he still cannot fight against spatial rifts.
Jin Yunchao misunderstood after hearing this, and smiled cruelly, "So, you regret it?"
Lin Xuan nodded gently in agreement, the smile on her face never changing.
He spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Yes, I do regret it."
"I regret not... killing you sooner!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xuan made a sudden move.
I didn't see how he moved, but I saw him grip his sword with one hand and gently draw it.
The cold white Sword-Ray drew an extremely smooth crescent arc in mid-air, bypassing Jin Yunchao and directly slashing towards the two Venerable Realm experts behind him.
Seeing this, Jin Yunchao's smile became even more sarcastic.
What's this?
Is this the last struggle of an ant?
Does a mere Perfect Emperor Realm cultivator really think he can kill two Venerable Realm?
They are all exceptional talents!
How could this be...
Jin Yunchao hadn't even finished thinking when he heard two soft "pfft" sounds.
Warm liquid splashed onto his back from behind, soaking his head and making his eyes watery and red.
Two muffled thuds were heard.
When Jin Yunchao realized what was happening, he suddenly froze. He trembled as he reached out and touched his face, and sure enough, he saw that his hand was covered in bright red blood.
Suddenly, Jin Yunchao turned around.
Behind him, the two Venerable Realm students had already been separated from their bodies.
He died a swift and decisive death!
Completely wiped out instantly!
They were completely powerless to fight back!
Jin Yunchao froze in shock, utterly stunned by what he saw.
How is that possible?
The two Venerable-level Venerable Realm he specially brought were just killed like that!?
Lin Xuan... isn't he already at the Perfect Emperor Realm?
What kind of strength is this?!
That's Venerable One!
Even among the students in the academy, his strength could be considered absolute power, yet he was instantly killed with One Sword strike?
Shocking!
An overwhelming sense of shock washed over Jin Yunchao.
He felt numb all over, and after regaining his senses, he quickly realized something even more serious.
Even those at the Venerable Realm are dead, so what about him?
he...
Jin Yunchao was covered in cold sweat, and his legs were trembling.
He looked at Lin Xuan, who had already walked not far from him, and when his gaze fell on the mocking smile on the other's face, he suddenly realized what was happening, and his pupils widened in an instant.
Jin Yunchao suddenly understood.
Now I understand why Lin Xuan had to part ways with the Sword Fairy here out of the blue.
"You... you did this on purpose!"
He was filled with grief and indignation, staring intently at Lin Xuan, his back teeth clenched tightly.
So he's the only idiot?
He had foolishly thought this was a golden opportunity and chased after them.
Little did he know that this was a trap set for him!
But...
But!!
Jin Yunchao couldn't understand it at all.
Lin Xuan is clearly a freshman, and his cultivation level is only at the Perfect Emperor Realm. How could he be so strong?
Even the Sword Fairy isn't this monstrous, is she?
Perfect Emperor Realm instantly killed two Venerable?
Moreover, one of them was a being close to the Earth Venerable level...
How can he be so strong?
Jin Yunchao couldn't figure it out, but Lin Xuan had no intention of giving him more time to think it through.
He glanced at Jin Yunchao indifferently and spoke with a mocking tone.
"Don't let me run into you outside?"
Now that we've met, what can you do to me?
"But you're lucky, you lived a little longer."
Lin Xuan looked at Jin Yunchao with some pity and shook his head.
certainly.
Pity doesn't mean he'll let Jin Yunchao go.
Lin Xuan has never had the habit of leaving himself enemies.
Jin Yunchao suddenly realized what was about to happen and spoke, his lips trembling.
"I... won't... forgive..."
But before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan drew his sword and effortlessly ended his life.
One Emperor Realm, Two Venerable.
How did they get here? Now they're just lying on the ground, dead swiftly and decisively, all killed in One Sword strike.
They actually dared to ambush him with such strength...
Lin Xuan chuckled and gently blew out a breath, sending a wisp of fire flying out.
The tiny spark landed on the three corpses and instantly ignited a raging Dahuo, burning their bones to ashes in just a few seconds.
at the same time.
Jin Yunyi, while in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes, clutched his chest, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.
What happened?
He was instinctively taken aback, sensing something was wrong, and took out a life tablet from his Storage Bag.
That was a life tablet he made for his own younger brother, containing a wisp of Jin Yunchao's aura, allowing him to quickly discern the other's condition.
But when he took out the life tablet, it spontaneously combusted and turned to ash in his grief-stricken eyes.
" Yunchao!!!"
"Who! Who killed my brother!?"
A startled and furious roar suddenly pierced the sky.
