Chapter 538
However, he exuded an extremely terrifying aura. Even if he was just standing there, Dao fluctuations endlessly circulated his body like swirling flames.
The moment he stepped into the room everyone, except the unconscious black-robed youngster, stood up to greet him, including the severely wounded Huang Shi.
“We pay our respects to Young Master Xingfeng!”
The servants bowed humbly. The arrogance and conceit previously on their faces completely faded.
Lin Xun also couldn’t help but narrow his eyes when he saw the red-robed man.
Su Xingfeng!
Before he set off, Zhao Jingxuan had mentioned to him that Su Xingfeng was one of the representative disciples of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land. He was extremely talented and had reached the initial Heaven Ascension Stage despite being only nineteen years old.
Su Xingfeng’s powerful aura alone astonished Lin Xun and made him feel a little oppressed.
Lin Xun had previously slaughtered Heaven Ascension cultivators and fought powerful Heaven Ascension cultivators such as Yao Tuohai. But none of them could compare with Su Xingfeng.
He was an extraordinarily talented genius figure from an ancient Daoist sect in the Ancient Wasteland Domain!
“What’s the matter?” Su Xingfeng asked in a low voice, putting his hands behind his back.
His eyes scanned the crowd like a flash of lightning.
He was attacked when he stepped into the room, so how would he not be annoyed?
One of the servants hurriedly stepped forward and explained.
Suddenly, Su Xingfeng raised his eyebrows and shot an indifferent look at Lin Xun. “Are you a servant of Junior Sister Zhao?”
He didn’t mean to berate Lin Xun, but the Dao ripples surrounding his body made Lin Xun feel oppressed.
“Correct.” Lin Xun nodded.
Su Xingfeng nodded and suddenly stretched out his right arm. With a flick of his sleeve, a beam of flame light shot out like a whip.
To everyone’s surprise, it was aimed at Huang Shi!
PA!
The splendid flame whip tore apart Huang Shi’s skin and flesh in just one strike. The fire imago power contained within the lash marks burned through his skin and penetrated his bones. He dropped to the ground and writhed in agony.
Even so, he didn’t utter a word of complaint. He clenched his teeth tight and endured the pain.
Everyone shivered all over. Huang Shi was Su Xingfeng’s personal servant, but he was ruthlessly punished!
They could tell that Su Xingfeng didn’t hold back at all!
“Trash, you made me lose face! You lost to a cultivator from a lower domain world!”
Su Xingfeng’s handsome face was ice-cold, and his voice was like a gust of icy wind. The others felt their backs become soaked with cold sweat. They finally understood the reason why Su Xingfeng was teaching Huang Shi a lesson.
Only Lin Xun thought that Su Xingfeng was too harsh. Is it that embarrassing to lose to me?
“Please forgive me!” Huang Shi pleaded as he knelt on the ground.
Su Xingfeng turned to look at Lin Xun again. “I don’t care what the reason is. You wounded my servant, so you will have to pay the price for it. Since you are Junior Sister Zhao’s servant, I will give you a chance to kneel and apologize and I will spare you death.” His voice was full of contempt like a high and mighty emperor issuing an order that had to be obeyed.
The servants’ eyes lit up with excitement. Even Huang Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, was no exception.
Lin Xun stared at him blankly as though he thought he heard it wrong. “Do you want me to kneel and apologize?”
Su Xingfeng’s ice-cold eyes were as threatening as sharp blades. “I don’t like to repeat myself!”
Lin Xun didn’t think that Su Xingfeng would be so domineering. From beginning to end, he was aggressive and overbearing, and now, he wanted to force him to kneel!
He was a bully and he didn’t try to hide it.
What was tyrannical?
That was.
“You should get your facts right first. Your subordinate started trouble first. I did nothing wrong.”
Lin Xun decided to tolerate him and didn’t resort to violence right away.
After he finished his sentence, he turned around to leave.
All the servants gasped. That guy is just a servant from the lower domain world, but he disregarded Young Master Su Xingfeng?
Even Su Xingfeng was a little taken aback. He never expected to meet a guy who dared to disobey him.
His eyes immediately flashed a murderous light. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, a beam of fiery light shot out straight towards Lin Xun like a bolt of lightning. It was swift, fierce and filled with terrifying blazing power.
So fast!
It was too fast. It perfectly demonstrated a young Heaven Ascension genius’ control of power, and could make many other cultivators of the same cultivation level feel ashamed.
Lin Xun’s dark eyes narrowed slightly as a tinge of anger flickered across them. He sensed danger. Su Xingfeng was a fierce and tyrannical character.
Bang!
However, before Lin Xun counterattacked, Zhao Jingxuan unknowingly appeared in front of him. She stretched out her delicate and soft hand and, with a gentle motion, dispelled the flame light.
“Senior Brother Su, please be respectful.”
Zhao Jingxuan’s appearance was as calm and pure as still water, and her beauty was out of the world.
“Junior Sister Zhao, your servant is so daring. I just want to teach him a lesson. Is there a need to stop me?” Su Xingfeng frowned.
“He is my servant, so even if it’s a lesson, it should be taught by me. Senior Brother Su, you have overstepped, and I don’t want to see it happen again. Goodbye.” Zhao Jingxuan walked out of the room with Lin Xun.
“Junior Sister Zhao, do you want to ruin friendly relationships with me just because of a servant?”
Flames blazed within Su Xingfeng’s eyes, and imperceptible murderous intent flickered across his handsome face.
“Depends on what you want to do,” Zhao Jingxuan said indifferently without looking back. If you want to teach Lin Xun a lesson, you have to get past me first!
Su Xingfeng didn’t take action in the end. He quietly watched Zhao Jingxuan and Lin Xun disappear, but his face was terrifyingly ice-cold, and his eyes were blazing with killing intent.
The aura exuding from his body alone turned the atmosphere in the room so oppressive and stifling that the servants in the room felt they couldn’t breathe. Their bodies became drenched in cold sweat again.
Su Xingfeng smiled slightly, and his eyes turned calm and emotionless. He then said ruminatively, “It seems that in Junior Sister Zhao’s heart the servant called Lin Xuan is very important.”
……
Zhao Jingxuan and Lin Xun stood side by side on the deck of the ship, gazing into the distance. The mountains and rivers resembled flickering lights and shadows as the treasure ship sped past them.
The clouds were agitated by the strong wind blowing.
Dressed in purple. Zhao Jingxuan looked particularly beautiful and ethereal.
“Sorry you had to suffer.” Her voice was as pleasant as a clear stream.
“It’s fine.” Lin Xun smiled.
“Are you sure?”
“You can’t bite a dog back if it bites you, right?” Lin Xun said with a smile.
“Of course not, but I will slaughter the vicious dog.” Zhao Jingxuan laughed out loud and blinked her eyes.
Her red lips were curled upwards in a captivating smile and coupled with her graceful demeanor, she exuded an alluring charm
“Hahaha, that sounds good, but unfortunately I am just a servant and can’t eat meat.” Lin Xun laughed. He had grown rather fond of Zhao Jingxuan.
Despite being the daughter of the current emperor, she showed not the slightest bit of arrogance. On the contrary, she was gentle, easy-going, and graceful. Moreover, she was not inferior to any man in the world in terms of aspiration and vision.
“Endure it a little longer. When we get to the Deva Secret Domain, I will split up with the other senior brothers and take action alone. We will each use our own strength to compete for opportunities in the secret realm. At that time, you can also show your strength.”
Zhao Jingxuan tucked her hair behind her ears.
Lin Xun nodded.
Both of them were using voice transmission for fear of others overhearing their conversation.
At that moment, melodious sounds rang from the end of the jeweled ship.
Lin Xun turned his head and saw a man sitting cross-legged on the deck with a guqin in front of his knees. He was plucking the strings leisurely, weaving notes as pleasant and calming as the sound of nature.
The man was slender and looked to be around twenty-four years old. His plain white robe fluttering in the wind added an ethereal elegance to him.
When Lin Xun looked over, the man raised his head and gave him a friendly and warm smile.
Lin Xun was stunned for a moment, but when he looked again, the man had already retracted his gaze and returned to playing the guqin.
“That's my third senior brother Xiao Ran.”
Zhao Jingxuan introduced the man, “He is an extraordinary genius. Among the official disciples of Spirit Treasure Holy Land, he is the one I admire the most.”
“He was shrouded in mysterious great dao divine light when he was born, and he was brought to train in Spirit Treasure Holy Land when he was three years old. At the age of fifteen, he became one of the top three disciples within the sect.”
“He has only been cultivating for twenty-odd years, but no one among the official disciples of the thirty-six peaks of Spirit Treasure Holy Land can compare with him.”
“There are rumors that Senior Brother Xiao Ran is strong enough to be ranked at the top even compared with geniuses from other ancient holy lands. He likes to keep a low profile and doesn’t like conflict, so not many people know how powerful he is now.”
Lin Xun couldn’t help but feel awe and admiration. He knew how impressive Zhao Jingxuan’s foundation and talent were, so he never thought that she would admire someone so strongly. Imaginably, Xiao Ran was amazing!
