Chapter 314 - Plotting for the Great Dragon Sword

Not only was the Netherworld General curious, but other martial artists were also intrigued.

Logically speaking, Lin Xuan was not an important person, and there was really no need to go to such lengths to capture him.

Lord Yan’s face was gloomy, and he looked at the Netherworld General with an icy stare, devoid of any emotion.

The Netherworld General’s heart skipped a beat, feeling as if a sharp sword had pierced through his heart.

“Please, temper your anger, my lord.

I will command them to take action immediately,” the Netherworld General said, bowing his head.

“All you need to know is that the object is requested by those above us, and even the Hall Master is just following orders.”

“Following orders, the Hall Master?” The crowd was shocked and didn’t dare to speculate wildly.

“Rest assured, Lord Yan.

We will definitely capture that boy with all our might!” a group of people quickly said.

In the great forest of Skyhawk Country,

Lin Xuan opened his eyes.

After a day and a night of recuperation, his body had completely recovered.

He picked up the Red Flame Greatsword from the ground and summoned Little Gold, then sprinted off into the distance.

Three days later, he was surrounded and attacked again.

This time, the battle ended quickly, but Lin Xuan managed to control a martial artist and used his Pupil Skill to gather information.

“Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artists!” When he learned that a peerless master had arrived in Xia Country, his entire heart was on edge.

“Xia Country has completely fallen, it seems I can’t return there any time soon,” Lin Xuan said with a grim expression.

What infuriated him even more was that the Spirit Communication Realm martial artist had issued an order to capture him fully.

“Damn it, why is he going to such lengths to capture me?”

“Remember, those people from Netherworld Hall also wanted to enter our ancestral land that day.

Are they searching for something?” Lin Xuan wondered.

“Don’t forget where you got your first Big Dragon Seal!” Lord of Wine reminded him.

Lin Xuan touched his chin, remembering clearly that he had obtained the first Big Dragon Seal from a bronze coffin.

And within that coffin, a man from the Black Dragon Sect was buried.

“Could it be that they know there is a Big Dragon Seal in the ancestral land?” Lin Xuan speculated.

“Yes, that’s right!

It seems they are after the Great Dragon Sword!”

Lin Xuan pieced together various clues and came to this conclusion.

“You must be careful not to let the news of the Great Dragon Sword leak, or you’ll be in great trouble,” said Lord of Wine, “and you must not let anyone know you possess the Big Dragon Seal!”

Lin Xuan nodded, he naturally understood this.

Just dealing with the Netherworld Hall gave him enough headaches, let alone if others found out, this world might no longer have a place for him.

“We can’t stay here, we must reach Dan King Valley as soon as possible.”

He patted Little Gold, and Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of gold, rushing towards the distance.

Little Gold had grown rapidly; it was now three meters tall, covered in golden threads like a small golden mountain.

Its speed was already comparable to that of a Middle-stage Fusion Spirit Realm martial artist, and as a demon beast, its stamina was even stronger.

Chirp chirp chirp

The Snow White Monkey sat on top of Little Gold’s head, continuously giving directions.

The group swiftly departed, heading towards Heavenly Mountain Country.

Apart from Lin Xuan, disciples from Xia Country and its surrounding sects were also fleeing.

Leng Yidao, Ice and Snow Fairy, and others were also being pursued and had fled Xia Country, escaping to even stronger countries.

A month and a half later, Lin Xuan finally arrived at the border of Skyhawk Country.

The raging Yin Xuan River, eerie and terrifying, emitted a dreadful aura.

Standing on the riverbank, he could not see the opposite shore; all he saw was the turbid yellow water.

Beside the riverbank stood an impressive dock, where dozens of people waited.

This was the official ferry, guarded by the protectors of Skyhawk Country.

Lin Xuan didn’t want to go to a private ferry, but for some reason, several nearby private ferries also had many people waiting, and if they had to queue, they might have to wait until next month.

Lin Xuan was currently being pursued.

He simply couldn’t wait.

In that case, he might as well take an official ship.

At the border of Skyhawk Country, there were temporarily no people from Netherworld Hall.

Besides, the things he had done in Heavenly Mountain Country had been half a year ago, and those people had probably given up by now.

After paying the fare, Lin Xuan entered the waiting area.

He concealed all his aura, appearing very ordinary, and didn’t attract anyone’s attention.

Standing to the side, Lin Xuan scanned the nearby martial artists and noticed that several of them were Melt Spirit Realm martial artists, while the others were either half-step melt spirit, or ordinary Spirit Sea Realm martial artists.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Xuan closed his eyes in thought.

Before long, the vicinity suddenly became noisy; something seemed to have happened.

Lin Xuan opened his eyes and looked around.

In the mainland behind, a large bird, entirely red as blood, was flying rapidly toward them, its wings shaking and stirring the winds from all directions.

“How terrifying, this bird can actually mobilize the spiritual energy of all directions, could it be a Sixth Rank Demon Beast?”

“Sixth Rank Demon Beast, isn’t that equivalent to a Melt Spirit Realm martial artist?”

“Look, there’s someone on top!”

Everyone concentrated and looked, indeed seeing several figures seated on it.

Flap!

Flap!

The fiery red feathers, like agate, were clear and translucent, the terrifying demon bird’s speed slowed down, eventually landing on the ground.

Whoosh!

With a flap of its wings, a wave of heat swept over, spreading like a sea of fire.

Everyone felt a heat flush on their face as though immersed in molten lava, the terrifying temperature grilling everyone’s bodies.

Many martial artists quickly circulated their spiritual power to form spirit armors for defense, and instinctively stepped back a few paces.

This level of temperature was nothing to Lin Xuan; he didn’t dodge but curiously watched the fiery red large bird.

“Eh, it’s actually a Vermilion Bird!” an older Melt Spirit Realm martial artist recognized it.

“Legend has it that the Vermilion Bird possesses a thin Vermilion Bird Bloodline, a precious and rare demon bird!”

Everyone was enlightened, their gazes filling with envy.

On the back of the Vermilion Bird, three martial artists descended.

The person in the middle was a beautiful girl in red, her figure graceful, her skin fair, and her face peerless.

However, she appeared proud and didn’t regard the people in front of her.

Beside the girl stood two elderly men, one tall and one short.

The tall one was thin as a bamboo pole, the short one round as a ball, making a very unusual pair.

However, no one dared to underestimate these two, as they both radiated the terrifying aura of Melt Spirit Realm martial artists.

The two peculiar old men stood beside the girl, appearing like servants.

“Who is this lady who not only possesses a rare demon bird but also has Melt Spirit Realm subordinates!”

“I don’t know, she must be a disciple from some major power out for leisure!”

People discussed spiritedly, many casting stealing glances at the red-clothed girl.

Unexpectedly, the red-clothed girl turned her head and fiercely glared at those peeking disciples.

The few peeking martial artists felt a stinging pain in their eyes, as if their bodies had been grilled by flames.

Knowing the severity, they all lowered their heads, daring not to look again.

Lin Xuan, standing aside, saw clearly; the red-clothed girl had probably also reached the Melt Spirit Realm; she was no simple character.

Nevertheless, all this had nothing to do with him; his main task at the moment was to cross the river.

Half an hour later, a black silhouette of a ship appeared on the river ahead.
