Inverse Sword Mad God

The Dark Red Divine Dragon frowned and said, "Kid, I’m afraid someone’s about to steal your girl."

Lin Xuan’s face also darkened. That guy actually dared to come here: "Courting death! I let him off last time—next time I see him, I definitely won’t spare him."

On the side, Dugu Old Monster’s eyeballs were about to pop out when he heard this.

"What, you won’t spare the Ten Thousand Thunder Saint?"

"Heaven above, little ancestor, do you even know what you’re saying?"

That’s the Ten Thousand Thunder Saint!

Among the younger generation, he’s one of the absolute Peak existences. Aside from the Saint Heirs of the other Holy Lands, there are hardly any young people who can match him.

Do you actually want to make a move against the Ten Thousand Thunder Saint? Dugu Old Monster simply couldn’t believe it.

In truth, Dugu Old Monster didn’t know; this was nothing.

It’s not like Lin Xuan hadn’t beaten the Ten Thousand Thunder Saint before, and he’d beaten him like a dog driven from its home.

If not for the Guardian, the Ten Thousand Thunder Saint would probably have died long ago.

Lin Xuan said nothing more and once again looked at the few stones ahead.

This time, his expression was incomparably solemn, and mysterious Dao Patterns surfaced in his eyes.

The Heavenly Mechanism Divine Pupil was activated by him, exuding a mysterious aura.

However, the more he observed, the more shocked he became.

Each of these stones contained a wondrous power. Fortunately, he had the Heavenly Mechanism Divine Pupil; with any other Pupil Skill, he probably wouldn’t be able to see a thing.

"These stones are really not simple. Where exactly were they brought from? They actually contain a mysterious power!"

"You can see that?" The little maid at the side was even more surprised. No wonder you could cut out Divine Crystals.

"Actually, it’s fine to tell you. These few stones were taken from the Taichu Ancient Mine."

What?

"Taken from the Taichu Ancient Mine!" Hearing this, Lin Xuan’s expression changed.

Beside him, the Dark Red Divine Dragon and Dugu Old Monster were even more utterly shocked.

The Taichu Ancient Mine is a Life Forbidden Zone, a Forbidden Land for humans. How did they get them out?

The Dark Red Divine Dragon was even more excited. As expected of the Yaochi Sacred Land, such grand handiwork—they even brought out stones like these.

He had lived for several thousand years and naturally knew much more.

Some Holy Lands each possessed a few stones transported from the Taichu Ancient Mine, but very few ever brought them out.

He hadn’t expected that this time the Yaochi Sacred Land would actually take the initiative to bring them out.

That pretty little maid stared at Lin Xuan and asked carefully, "What can you see? Is there anything inside?"

She was extremely curious as well.

Lin Xuan gently shook his head. "For now I can’t see clearly. It’s shrouded by a mass of Demonic Qi."

"Is that so? If even you can’t see clearly, I’m afraid very few people will be able to probe it."

"Unless they’re those living fossils or Heavenly Spirit Masters."

Lin Xuan wasn’t lying. At the moment, he truly couldn’t see clearly.

Of course, this was also because he hadn’t fully unleashed the Heavenly Mechanism Divine Pupil.

If he went all out with the Heavenly Mechanism Divine Pupil, it might not be impossible to see what was inside.

However, he didn’t dare to fully activate it now, because once he did, he wouldn’t be able to suppress those golden rays of light.

When the time came, golden light would shine from his eyes and those strange Runes would flicker; it would definitely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

A bit of deduction would be enough for them to know that his eyes were the Heavenly Mechanism Divine Pupil.

And once the news leaked, the Five Great Holy Lands would probably be the first to make a move against him.

So he would not go all out.

Of course, even if he did, he would have to completely isolate everything.

At the side, the Dark Red Divine Dragon once again spoke. "Little girl, we’ve said so much that our mouths are dry."

"Aren’t you going to invite us in for a cup of tea?"

"You wish! Want to go in and drink tea? No way!" the little maid said angrily.

"Unless you can cut out a Treasure from these stones. Otherwise, you’d better go back."

Hearing this, Dugu Old Monster sighed. Cutting a Treasure from these stones of the Taichu Ancient Mine—easier said than done.

He had heard of these stones as well. They were extremely sinister; even those powerful Spirit Seeking Masters frequently failed.

Very few people could cut out anything real, and these stones were extremely expensive—one could say they defied Heaven.

Ordinary people simply couldn’t afford them.

Lin Xuan wasn’t planning to cut any stones right now, but he still said calmly, "Let us in. Who knows, your young lady and I might be old acquaintances?"

"What old acquaintance? Don’t even think about currying favor with my lady. My lady doesn’t have any so-called old acquaintances."

"No way, your lady isn’t the Murong Girl?" The Dark Red Divine Dragon laughed from the side.

"What, how do you know my lady’s boudoir name?"

This time, the little maid was completely stunned.

She was full of doubt, staring at the three of them, her expression somewhat hostile.

"Who on earth are you people? Leave at once, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

Just then, a cool, clear voice came from inside the bamboo house. "Shuang’er, do not be rude."

"My lady."

Hearing this, the little maid fell silent and instead stood off to the side with her hands at her sides.

However, her expression was still somewhat unfriendly as she glared at the three of them.

Inside the bamboo house, that voice sounded again. "I don’t know which old acquaintance you’re talking about?"

"I do have a few old acquaintances."

"Naturally, an old acquaintance from Sky Martial," Lin Xuan said.

What!

At these words, a startled cry came from within the bamboo house, and the melodious sound of the zither abruptly stopped.

After a while, that voice rang out again. "I do have a few old acquaintances. I don’t know which one you mean?"

"Murong Girl, what, you can’t even recognize us anymore?" The Dark Red Divine Dragon said from the side. "Why don’t you come out and take a look?"

A figure walked out from the house ahead.

She wore a white floor-length dress, its broad hem embroidered with pink patterns.

A Smoke-Luo purple gauze over a zhang long was draped across her arms. Her slender, willowy waist was cinched with a Purple sash woven with jade-inlaid brocade.

Her jet-black hair was tied up with a light Purple silk ribbon.

A few mischievous locks fell over her shoulders, setting off her skin—fair as polished jade—to appear even more lustrous.

There was no powder on her face, yet she was fresh and enchanting.

To the side, Dugu Old Monster was already dumbfounded. So this was the Yaochi Saintess? Truly a peerless beauty of the mortal world!

In Lin Xuan’s eyes as well, a trace of excitement appeared. It was indeed Murong Qingcheng.

It had been so long since they last met; she had become even more outstanding.

Yes, the one who came out was precisely Murong Qingcheng. Her gaze was as gentle as Water as it swept over the three of them, then she frowned slightly.

She had never seen these three faces before, but for some reason, that young man in front gave her a very familiar feeling.

And the Flame Dragon Horse beside him carried a roguish air she was all too familiar with.

"What is it, Qingcheng, you don’t recognize me?" Lin Xuan smiled and raised his hand, sending out a strand of Dragon-shaped Sword Energy.

Seeing that Dragon-shaped Sword Energy, Murong Qingcheng’s body trembled.

She could naturally sense clearly the power of the Great Dragon Sword Soul contained in that Sword Qi.

This kind of power could not be imitated by anyone else; only Lin Xuan possessed it.
