Chapter 373 - Jiang Jian

“Who are you calling a beast?” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

“Calling you, beast,” Jiang Feng gritted his teeth.

As soon as his words ended, several nearby disciples who were watching laughed, and the servants also struggled to suppress their amusement.

Jiang Feng instantly understood the meaning of the sentence and his face immediately darkened with a menacing terror.

“Boy, even at the brink of death you dare to play tricks, I will cut off your tongue and chop it into eighteen pieces!”

“I warn you, I am now a distinguished guest of the Jiang Mansion, you had better not provoke me, otherwise you won’t be able to bear the consequences,” Lin Xuan said slowly.

“Distinguished guest?” Jiang Feng scoffed.

“What kind of distinguished guest can a country bumpkin like you be?

You are no better than the servants here!”

“That’s right, I’m sure you’ve deceived the Jiang Family with some lies.

Today, I will execute you on the spot to prevent you from deceiving others in the future!”

The several Jiang Family disciples nearby sneered as well; they couldn’t fathom how someone like Lin Xuan, a mere rustic, could possibly be connected with the Jiang Family.

Seeing the expressions of these Jiang Family disciples, the nearby green-clothed servants almost cried.

Before coming here, Elder Jiang Song had repeatedly told them to take great care of Lin Xuan, to serve him attentively.

From his words, it was clear that Lin Xuan was indeed a distinguished guest, at least in the eyes of Elder Jiang Song.

If anything happened to Lin Xuan, it was the servants who would suffer the consequences.

The green-clothed servant’s eyes darted around; he took the chance while others were not paying attention to sneak away.

Everyone’s attention on the scene was focused on Lin Xuan; no one noticed a servant leaving.

“Boy, I will break your limbs first, cripple your martial arts, and let you live like a dog!” Jiang Feng’s presence grew terrifying as he stepped forward.

The surrounding disciples also drew their sharp weapons and charged towards Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan, with his powerful soul, had already sensed a strong presence approaching, so he was not afraid at all.

Indeed, just as Jiang Feng and the others flashed their weapons, a thunderous shout rang out.

“Stop!”

This voice exploded like a thunder shock above the corridor, causing the surrounding disciples’ eardrums to tremble and their bodies to shake uncontrollably.

Everyone except Lin Xuan circulated their spiritual power to resist the impact of the sound waves.

When they managed to withstand it and looked forward, their faces changed drastically.

There in the corridor, an ancient figure had appeared out of nowhere, radiating an awe-inspiring aura.

“Elder Jiang Song!” The crowd was shocked, unable to imagine why Elder Jiang Song would be here.

“Elder, you’ve arrived just in time.

This boy has repeatedly deceived the Jiang Family and even injured our people grievously.

Today, we must tear his body into thousands of pieces!”

“Yes, he must be killed!” The surrounding disciples stated coldly, all brought by Jiang Feng; they stared fiercely at Ling Xuan.

“A bunch of useless fools, you don’t practice your martial arts well and only know how to bully others.

Now get back immediately!” Elder Jiang Song shouted coldly.

“What?” The crowd was stunned, seemingly unable to believe that Elder Jiang Song would scold them.

That wasn’t right; they were the disciples of the Jiang Family, and Lin Xuan was the outsider who had offended them!

“Why exactly?

Elder, have you been deceived by this boy’s words?”

“He is a swindler, do not believe his words!” Jiang Feng and others shouted frantically.

“What more do you want to argue?

Do I need your lessons on my matters?” Elder Jiang Song’s face darkened slightly, his icy gaze turning towards Jiang Feng and others.

These disciples were truly detestable.

It was bad enough that they misbehaved outside, but now they dared to lay hands on his guest.

If Lin Xuan was harmed, he feared his Three-Striped Void Spirit Pill would be doomed!

A powerful aura spread through the air, like a giant mountain pressing down, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

“If it weren’t for the family conference about to start, I certainly wouldn’t let you off so easily!”

“Now get lost!”

A group of people, frightened, all left dejectedly.

Jiang Feng’s body trembled, his eyes filled with reluctance, he glared fiercely at Lin Xuan a few times, but ultimately he could only grit his teeth and retreat.

He knew that at this critical juncture, angering the elder would bring severe consequences.

“I don’t know what he said to make the elder trust him so much!” Jiang Feng clenched his fists, frantic in his heart.

Seeing everyone leave, Elder Jiang Song finally said with a smile, “Young Hero Lin, please don’t take offense, these disciples are usually spoiled.”

“No worries,” Lin Xuan smiled, he naturally wouldn’t lower himself to contend with these people.

If it really came to a fight, he was confident that he could resolve these people within three moves.

“Are the herbs ready?” Lin Xuan asked.

“They are ready, Young Hero Lin, please follow me.”

Under Elder Jiang Tao’s guidance, Lin Xuan arrived in a splendid hall.

Looking at the table full of herbs, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, smiling in satisfaction.

“Young Hero Lin, are these herbs sufficient?” Elder Jiang Tao asked nearby.

With a sweeping glance, Lin Xuan immediately had his answer.

“It is worthy of Jiang Mansion to gather these precious herbs in such a short time!”

“Heh.” Upon hearing Lin Xuan’s response, Elder Jiang Tao laughed,

“When can Young Hero Lin start?

I have felt my Spiritual Power becoming more and more erratic lately.”

“We can start now,” Lin Xuan said, “Elder, rest assured, I will first help you refine the Clearing Pill.”

Actually, Lin Xuan had planned to first refine the Clearing Pill from the beginning, since the Three-Striped Void Spirit Pill required extremely precious herbs, and without showing his capabilities, Elder Jiang Tao might not let him refine it easily.

This could be seen from the order of the placement of the herbs on the table.

The herbs needed for the Clearing Pill were placed at the very front, while those for the Three-Striped Void Spirit Pill were in the corner.

Hearing Lin Xuan’s response, Elder Jiang Tao nodded in satisfaction.

“Very well, Young Hero Lin, please wait, I will prepare a top-notch Alchemy Room for you.”

While Elder Jiang Tao was preparing these, Jiang Feng and others had found another handsome young man.

“Cousin, you must stand up for me!” Jiang Feng cried out.

That young man was sitting on the bed; upon hearing Jiang Feng’s cry, he finally opened his eyes.

His sharp gaze, like Sword Light and Sword Shadow, pierced through the void.

“What’s the matter, why the panic?” the young man’s tone was icy.

So, Jiang Feng told him all about Lin Xuan.

In doing so, he even exaggerated, painting Lin Feng as a heinous villain.

“Cousin, this Lin Xuan somehow deceived Elder Jiang Tao.

I fear he will do something detrimental to Jiang Mansion; you must stop him!”

Jiang Feng’s cousin, the cold young man named Jiang Jian, held a much higher status than Jiang Feng.

Furthermore, his grandfather was also an elder of Jiang Mansion.

“Don’t worry, no one can run amok in Jiangsu, nor can anyone deceive a Jiang Family elder!” Jiang Jian said in a cold voice.

Inside the Jiang Mansion hall, Lin Xuan sat in a vermilion chair, sipping on fine Spiritual Tea, quietly waiting.

Suddenly, several figures appeared at the entrance of the great hall, their movements bold and aggressive, clearly there to cause trouble.
