Chapter 1823: Murder in the City

Right away, his mind-sea captured the auras of experts hiding in different areas.

He ignored them and continued onwards.

Whirlwind Ship was huge like a floating city with crisscrossing lanes, busy streets, and numerous buildings.

For example, the courtyard where Lin Xun resided was built on a mountain that was specially reserved for distinguished guests of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion. Many courtyards were also in the area.

“Brother, it seems like you’re in a bad situation.”

When Lin Xun passed by a courtyard, a figure suddenly appeared, lying leisurely on the wall, resting his chin on his hands and staring at Lin Xun with a smile.

“Oh, how did you know?”

Lin Xun swept a glance over the person. He appeared to be a youth and was dressed in a hemp robe. He had unkempt hair, but his face was quite handsome, and when he smiled, he showed a set of pearly white teeth.

The youth rolled his eyes. “Even a blind man can tell. Why do you still need to ask? Brother, let me guess, are you planning to fight with your life?”

“Fight with my life? Not quite.” Lin Xun walked away.

The fact that the hemp-clothed youth lived on this mountain meant that he was no ordinary person, but Lin Xun did not bother to care.

“Tsk tsk, there’s a thunderstorm raging in your heart, but your face is as calm as a lake. You might have fully suppressed your murderous intent, but can I still smell it.” The youth laughed merrily on the wall as he stared in the direction where Lin Xun left.

“Young Master, please don’t meddle in other people’s business. Your father has reminded me to not let you cause any trouble along the way. Otherwise, I will not be spared.”

A doddering granny was standing by the wall of the inner courtyard, smiling at the youth who was lying on the wall. Her milky eyes were full of kindness.

“Granny, if you smiled at me with your true face, I would be very happy, but I can’t stand your terrible face.” The hemp-clothed youth turned his head, stuck his tongue out and pretended to retch.

The old woman laughed so hard that her eyes closed. “Little rascal, you are just like your father when he was young, unserious, shameless and stinky!”

The youth did not feel ashamed, but instead smiled proudly and triumphantly.

However, when he looked in the direction where Lin Xun left again, a strange expression flashed across his eyes, and he muttered to himself, “That guy is clearly pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Whoever angers him will be in trouble.”

The youth then asked, “Granny, do you want to go see what’s going on? That guy seems very interesting.”

The old woman quickly objected, “You can’t.”

The youth pulled a long face and let out a long sigh.

……

Not far away from the path down the mountain were bustling streets filled with people threading their way through the crowd.

Lin Xun walked into the streets as if he was strolling in the garden.

Almost all the people he saw along the way were disciples of famous sects. There were both men and women, some traveling in groups, and some were accompanied by many servants.

There were also lone cultivators, but very few.

After all, not anybody could afford to travel across the starry sky on the Whirlwind Ship.

Among the crowd, no one was in the lower five cultivation stages, and longevity tribulation kings were also very rare. Most of them were just errand boys. On the contrary, Saints and Big Saints were not uncommon at all.

There were some Saint-Kings, but they were all seniors and elders of top sects and wealthy ancient clans, and they played the role of guardians.

This was the scenery on Whirlwind Ship.

In the vast Ziheng Star Field, of the billions of people, only a handful had the capital to board Whirlwind Ship.

Lin Xun wandered the streets like a tourist, browsing the various businesses.

Every time he walked out of a store, he acquired many rare treasures, magical items, precious herbs and elixirs from all over the world.

Lin Xun had to admit that those businesses were very unique and stocked various rare items and treasures unique to certain worlds in the Ancient Nebula Road. It was an eye-opening experience for him.

Of course, Lin Xun spent dao crystals like water.

An hour later.

Lin Xun entered a martial training hall and paid three thousand dao crystals for the sole use of a quiet training room for three hours.

It was called a training room, but in truth it was no different from a small paradise world. It was abundant in aeth qi and enveloped in restriction arrays to prevent disturbance from the outside world.

Three hours cost three thousand dao crystals. It was a huge expense that ordinary people could not afford.

Not long after Lin Xun entered the training room, a group of experts also came to the martial training hall.

They were led by a young man in a bright red robe and a white jade belt around his waist. His long and narrow eyes were like a pair of blades.

An old man in a gray robe who had been waiting for their arrival came forward to greet them. He was a Saint-King elder of Heavenly Sound Pavilion and also the manager of the martial training hall.

People who were familiar with him call him Old Man Tang.

“Here’s the badge. The target has entered training hall number 3.”

Old Man Tang stepped forward and respectfully handed a badge to the red-robed young man.

“Good.”

The red-robed young man nodded and led the group towards training hall number 3.

“The fellow from the Yu Clan is really looking for death.”

Old Man Tang’s expression turned cold as he watched the red-robed young man and his comrades leave.

A disciple of Heavenly Sound Pavilion came over and asked in a worried tone, “Elder, we handed over the training hall badge without permission. If Elder Zhuang Yanzhi finds out about this...”

Old Man Tang interrupted, “Elder Zhuang Yunzhi can’t even protect herself right now. No need to worry. Besides, even if the Yu fellow is dead, it has nothing to do with Heavenly Sound Pavilion. Alright, go do your work, I will keep watch over this place.”

……

Training hall number 3.

Buzz—

Following the rippling of the restriction array, the door of the training hall opened from the outside.

The red-robed man and the others stormed in with frightening speed and immediately closed the door, letting the restriction power re-envelop the hall.

After doing all this, they were shocked to find that the target showed not a shred of surprise or panic.

He was sitting at a wooden table, drinking leisurely from a green gourd, as if he had been waiting for them.

“Yu Xuan?” The red-robed man uttered, his narrow eyes glowing a menacing light.

“This place is isolated from the outside world, and can withstand the destructive power of the Supreme Saint-King Stage. It can be said to be the perfect place to kill. What do you think of this burial place that I have chosen for you all?” Lin Xun spoke nonchalantly as he stood up.

His black eyes were unfathomable and without a ripple of expression.

The red-robed man’s face darkened, and the others’ were full of disbelief. Is this guy from the Imperial Yu Clan out of his mind?

He’s just a Saint-King, how dare he speak so arrogantly!

“Did you know we are here to deal with you?” The red-robed man raised his brows.

“I only know that whoever comes today will be buried here.” Lin Xun disappeared from the spot the moment his voice rang out.

“Act now!” The red-robed man’s pupils condensed, and he erupted with a rush of terrifying aura belonging to the Saint-King Stage. Unhesitatingly, he launched a palm strike.

The palm power was vast and powerful, like a blast of force from the primeval era descending upon the world, capable of destroying all beings in every direction.

“Die!” When Lin Xun lightly spat out that word, he reappeared in front of the red-robed man and thrust his palm in the same way.

It was a simple and elegant strike, without any spark or fireworks.

Yet, under this palm strike, the red-robed man’s tyrannical palm power was silently swallowed up like a clay ox entering the sea. He felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, everything darkened before him and he was unable to move at all, like he had been imprisoned.

When the palm landed…

Bang!

The red-robed man was crushed into a pile of flesh. Blood splattered and he was wiped out from the world.

His great dao power was completely devoured.

A palm strike killed a supreme Saint-King!

It happened so terrifyingly fast that the experts who were about to take action froze with horror. A chill went down their spine and their souls almost left their bodies.

That…is that power that a Saint-King would possess?

Amidst a deathly silent atmosphere, everyone’s countenance changed.

The red-robed man was a disciple of Primordial Dao Court. Although he was far inferior to Kong Yu in terms of status and identity, he was unquestionably strong.

Being able to step into the supreme Saint-King Stage was the best proof of this.

But now, he was killed by a palm strike, like a fly being swatted to death...

Lin Xun swept a glance over them and said indifferently, “Everyone, I need to ask you some questions. If you cooperate with me, you can die more comfortably. Otherwise, your fate will be worse than death.”

As he spoke, he already took action without hesitation.

……

“Why aren’t they out yet?” Old Man Tang scrunched his brows.

As time went by, he became more and more uneasy seeing that the red-robed man and the others still had not come out of training hall number 3.

“They are just here to kill a Saint-King, why is it taking so long? Could something have happened?”

His expression became overcast.

Just when he was considering whether to check on them, a figure strode out of training hall number 3.

But his eyes went wide as if he was struck by lightning, or like he had seen a ghost.

Why…would it be him?

The man was in black clothes and had sparse brows and long hair. It was Yu Xuan, who Old Man Tang believed was doomed!

“Are you surprised?

Lin Xun teleported in front of him, looking at him with deep, unfathomable eyes that were like an abyss.

Beads of sweat rolled down Old Man Tang’s forehead as he smiled stiffly. “What are you talking about, Fellow Daoist? I...I don’t understand.”

“Don’t worry if you don’t understand. I will come back to you later.” Lin Xun clapped Old Man Tang’s shoulder as he spoke.

The old man felt a terrifying power bear down on him, restraining all his strength to the point that he could not even struggle.

Then, Lin Xun picked him up like a little chick and stuffed him into the Dao Endless Pagoda.

The next moment, with a flash, Lin Xun disappeared from the martial training hall. From beginning to end, no one noticed his movements except Old Man Tang.

This was because he had activated the Suanni Qi from the moment he took action, thereby completely concealed both his body and aura. It was as though he had turned into nothingness!
