Inverse Sword Mad God

However, in an ordinary inn room, Lin Xuan opened his eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Although two of his Clones had been destroyed, he had heard the information from both groups.

Two days later would actually be the time when Jiuli Tower’s defenses were at their weakest.

Looks like he could only make a move then.

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. He hadn’t expected that within the Jiuli Dynasty, there were actually people eyeing Jiuli Tower as well.

"What on earth is that thing? Even members of the Jiuli Royal Family are after it?"

Lin Xuan was indeed puzzled, because judging from that white‑clothed woman, she should be someone from the Jiuli Dynasty.

And that tall young man should also be some Prince.

As for which Dynasty he was from, Lin Xuan had no idea.

On top of that, King Liuli was from the Taiyi Dynasty. Counting it up, at least three Dynasties were setting their sights on Jiuli Tower.

It was truly unexpected.

"Could it be that Jiuli Tower hides some sort of secret?"

Sure enough, two days later, a Holy Decree descended, and the vast majority of experts of Dingxiang City’s Jiuli Tower went out to receive it.

Princess Bai Wei and that tall young man also moved into action.

But they didn’t bring the people at their sides with them. Instead, they ordered their followers to stay outside, ready to provide support at any time.

Princess Bai Wei and that tall young man entered Jiuli Tower themselves.

Of course, there was another person, and that was Lin Xuan.

With such a good opportunity, how could he possibly let it slip by? So, while the Jiuli Tower experts went to receive the Holy Decree—

Lin Xuan hid within the Void and started heading toward Jiuli Tower.

Most of the strong cultivators in Jiuli Tower had gone out, leaving the interior rather empty, so for the moment Lin Xuan was relatively safe.

He didn’t rush forward recklessly, but carefully probed in all directions, so his speed wasn’t fast.

The other two, the tall young man and Princess Bai Wei, were extremely fast. Very soon, they reached the center of Jiuli Tower.

Jiuli Tower looked grand from the outside, and inside it was even more steeped in age. Every stone, every structure had existed for endless years.

And above, there was even a trace of a Mysterious power lingering.

The tall young man arrived there and swept his gaze around, carefully sensing. Then, the corner of his mouth lifted in a smile.

He realized the information he’d received was correct.

The thing was indeed here, and there was no one around. It looked like this time he would definitely succeed.

Buzz!

But at that moment, a tremor suddenly came from the Void.

Immediately, the tall young man’s expression changed, and he turned to leave.

Yet very quickly he froze, cold sweat dripping down his face. The entire Void had been completely sealed.

It was as if a pair of invisible giant hands were firmly suppressing him.

At this moment, an aged voice came from behind the tall young man.

"Young man, your reaction is quite fast, you even sensed it in advance. But so what? In front of me, you can’t escape."

The tall young man’s face became extremely ugly, and his heart pounded wildly.

An expert—this was definitely an expert.

He had not expected that Jiuli Tower still had such a master inside.

Originally he’d thought Jiuli Tower no longer had many strong cultivators, but now it seemed he’d been wrong.

There was a peerless master guarding this place.

Judging from the other party’s aura, he should be close to a Supreme Great Power.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to pin him down so easily.

Just then, that aged voice rang out again.

"Little doll, you come out too. Do you really want me to act personally?"

Buzz!

As those words fell, the pressure in the air grew even more terrifying, as if it was about to freeze the entire Heavenly Space.

But this time, a streak of white light flashed in the Void, and then a white‑clothed woman appeared.

Roar!

Taking advantage of this moment, the tall young man let out a furious roar, and a surge of red light burst from his body.

His body abruptly expanded, and he forcibly shattered the Void’s confinement, rapidly retreating to one side.

In the next instant, he saw that the one who had bound him was a gray‑clothed old man.

The old man wasn’t tall and was hunched over.

At a glance, he looked just like an ordinary old fellow.

But the tall young man didn’t dare to be the least bit careless, because he knew that this seemingly ordinary old man possessed terrifying strength.

The gray‑clothed old man gazed at the white‑clothed woman and the tall young man and let out a faint sigh.

"This is something of my Jiuli Clan. Outsiders cannot obtain it."

So there really was that thing!

Hearing this, light burst from the tall young man’s eyes. Previously, although he’d received information, he hadn’t been certain.

But now, with this expert within Jiuli Tower saying so, he finally confirmed that Jiuli Tower really did contain that legendary item.

However, the white‑clothed woman merely snorted coldly. "The Jiuli Clan is split into eastern and western branches."

"Don’t you think this thing doesn’t belong to you people of East Jiuli?"

The atmosphere in the great hall was extremely tense.

Yet they didn’t know that while they were confronting each other, a figure was hiding in the distance.

This figure was naturally Lin Xuan. At this moment he was fully concealed within the Void, not releasing the slightest trace of aura.

He possessed the Great Dragon Sword Soul, so right now he was using the Great Dragon Sword Soul to simulate the Ancient Family’s Great Void Skill.

Although it wasn’t a perfect replica, it was seventy or eighty percent similar, which was why not a single bit of his aura had leaked.

Even so, cold sweat was dripping down his forehead.

Luckily he’d been extremely cautious. If he had rushed out recklessly, he would probably have been discovered by that gray‑clothed old man by now.

That gray‑clothed old man was terrifying, definitely not an ordinary Great Power, and was even close to a Supreme Great Power.

A person like that was unbelievably fearsome.

Moreover, what shocked him even more was that these people were indeed all here for the thing inside Jiuli Tower.

And he vaguely felt that this item might be exactly the one he was supposed to obtain.

"Damn it, that King Liuli really is vicious! The very first mission is this dangerous!"

Lin Xuan’s face darkened. No wonder all those people who had taken this mission before had failed.

Jiuli Tower was such a terrifying place that even a Supreme Great Power trying to force his way in might not succeed.

"That damn King Liuli even claimed there were no Supreme Great Powers here!"

If not for this Holy Decree, there would probably be even more terrifying experts inside Jiuli Tower.

"Hm?"

At this moment, Lin Xuan frowned.

Because he sensed several powerful auras rapidly charging in from outside Jiuli Tower.

Sure enough, in the next instant, the old man in the hall sighed, and the light in his eyes flared again.

He looked toward the long passage ahead and then said loudly, "You’ve come after all."

Buzz buzz buzz!

Sure enough, a moment later, the Void Split open and five figures appeared in the great hall.

Leading them was an old man with white hair, his aura sharp and fierce.

Behind him were three men and one woman, all middle‑aged.

Powerful light radiated from these people, and every one of them had the aura of a Great Power.
