Chapter 1232 1232: The Battle in the Courtyard

Lin Fei asked, "I wonder what major affair the Second Young Master wishes to accomplish?"

Wan Jingxuan's face immediately turned serious, replacing his carefree demeanor with solemnity, and his eyes shone with undisguised sharpness as he said, "I want you to help me ascend to the position of City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City."

"Frankly, ten days from now is the day of our entire city's grand competition. If you help me defeat my brother Wan Jingyuan, I can make you the Vice City Lord."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fei finally understood Wan Jingxuan's intentions.

It turns out he wants to use my hand to eliminate his brother; obviously, once his brother is gone, Wan Jingxuan can become the City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City.

But just the mere title of Vice City Lord, how could it possibly entice Lin Fei?

Not to mention, Wan Jingxuan is someone who can even kill his own brother; such a wolf-hearted, ruthless person would certainly harm Lin Fei after aiding him in becoming City Lord.

In short, Lin Fei would not associate with someone like the wolf-hearted Wan Jingxuan.

Lin Fei faintly smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Young Master, for valuing me so much. However, in the grand competition, each major family and each great saint's expert will participate, and with my weak strength, I fear I will quickly be defeated and unable to fulfill Second Young Master's important wish."

"Young Master Lin, I'm not boasting, but even with your strength, the Patriarch of the fifth-ranked Yue family in Ten Thousand Swords City, Yue Yunsheng, is no match for you; among the other ten families, they may not be your match either," Wan Jingxuan said confidently.

"Between us, five of the ten families secretly stand on my side, supporting me to become City Lord; only four support my brother Wan Jingyuan, so all you need to defeat is my brother. As for the experts from the other four families, I will defeat them myself."

Wan Jingxuan's intentions were very clear: he wants to eliminate the only obstacle to becoming City Lord—his brother—without bearing the infamous reputation for murdering his sibling, thus needing Lin Fei to do what he cannot.

Indeed, Wan Jingxuan is truly vicious.

Actually, the reason why Wan Jingxuan attempted to recruit Lin Fei and wanted him to be used is because Lin Fei fought against the Yue family, easily defeating them, showcasing his immense strength.

Such strength would surely be enough to aid Wan Jingxuan in clearing all obstacles to ascend to the position of City Lord.

Of course, once he takes the position of City Lord, he certainly will not truly make Lin Fei Vice City Lord.

Lin Fei, young as he is, displaying such powerful strength now, would inevitably pose a threat to Wan Jingxuan given time.

Thus, Wan Jingxuan would not tolerate Lin Fei; once he becomes City Lord, he would use schemes to eliminate Lin Fei.

Lin Fei's facial expression did not shift much, and he said, "Second Young Master praises me too much. Regarding the Ten Thousand Swords City's struggles, I have no interest, and I have other matters, so I will not linger in Ten Thousand Swords City. Second Young Master should seek someone else."

Lin Fei's words were crystal clear, indicating that Wan Jingxuan must find another to fulfill his ambition of becoming City Lord.

Wan Jingxuan's expression darkened, evidently not expecting Lin Fei to refuse him, but he quickly masked it with a smile, saying, "Lin Fei, pardon my bluntness, but right now, the entire Thousand Dragon City is searching for you.

The only person who can ensure your safety and departure is me; without my assistance, you will never escape the encirclement of the City Lord of Thousand Dragon City and the nine families."

Needless to say, the happenings outside the manor, within Thousand Dragon City, were already known to Wan Jingxuan.

And he used this information to discreetly warn Lin Fei.

Yet Lin Fei remained indifferent, saying, "Thank you, Second Young Master, for your concern, but please don't worry about me. I will find a way to leave here; it is getting late, Second Young Master, please rest."

Wan Jingxuan did not expect Lin Fei to ignore his warning, and yet have the composure to rest at this time.

Indeed, his heart is very bold.

"Lin Fei, you refuse the toast only to drink the punishment; since you are unwilling to serve me and know my plans, keeping you will only ruin my big affairs." Wan Jingxuan's eyes revealed a vicious gleam as he intended to eliminate Lin Fei.

Moreover, the Sword Light flickered in his hand, revealing the Golden Thread Sword that had just killed Huang Shutong.

An astonishingly lethal intent emanated from Wan Jingxuan.

Facing Wan Jingxuan's blatant intent to kill to silence him, Lin Fei's expression remained entirely unfazed, showing no sign of fear.

But Qiu Qiming appeared shocked, saying to Wan Jingxuan, "Second Young Master, clearly it was you who voluntarily shared your plans with Lin Fei; Lin Fei did not ask you to divulge anything. Why must Lin Fei die simply for knowing your plan?"

"Do you mean to say that since I heard all you said, I too must die?"

Lin Fei had not anticipated Qiu Qiming's straightforwardness; in such moments, others would fear being implicated and retreat, yet Qiu Qiming chose to intervene, even at the risk of trouble.

This, in Lin Fei's view, showed that Qiu Qiming was indeed a very principled friend.

At least in this moment, Lin Fei considered Qiu Qiming as a friend.

Wan Jingxuan coldly smiled, "Qiu Qiming, if it weren't for your father secretly supporting me to become the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City, I wouldn't spare you, but you best distance yourself from Lin Fei or else don't blame me for being ruthless."

Qiu Qiming angrily said, "My father is truly muddled, how could he support you as the new City Lord? It's ridiculous."

Lin Fei said to Qiu Qiming, "Young Master Qiu, thank you for speaking up for me, but this matter is between me and this Young Master Wan; you should not intervene."

Qiu Qiming persistently warned Lin Fei, "But Lin Fei, be careful; he is a renowned Saint Heir of Ten Thousand Swords City."

Lin Fei nodded, "Hm, I will be cautious."

Having said this, Lin Fei exited the tower, arriving in the courtyard, standing with hands behind his back, exuding an aura of sovereign majesty.

This gave Wan Jingxuan the illusion that compared to Lin Fei, he seemed as an ordinary mortal facing a deity—making him feel insignificant, his aura paling in comparison to Lin Fei's.

This enraged Wan Jingxuan immensely; being the ambitious Second Young Master of the City Lord, Wan Jingxuan hated seeing anyone surpass him or overshadow him.

This is why he wanted to eliminate his brother Wan Jingyuan to become the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City; only upon reaching the summit could he make everyone submit to him.

"Lin Fei, die for me!" Wan Jingxuan's eyes burst with brilliance; the next moment, man and sword fused, transforming into a radiant beam, suddenly striking towards Lin Fei.

Instantly, in the courtyard, fierce winds rose, sweeping sands and fallen leaves, murderous aura pervading, amidst the violent air currents, Wan Jingxuan's fused man and sword beam had already reached Lin Fei.

Within the beam, the sharp gaze like blades of Wan Jingxuan and the fierce sword from his hand became visible.

Swish.

Wan Jingxuan's Golden Thread Sword, resembling a poison snake flicking its tongue, aimed at Lin Fei's chest, directly targeting his heart.

In the critical moment of life and death, Lin Fei still kept both hands behind him. When the astonishing Sword Qi lifted his hair and clothes, Lin Fei just slightly moved his body, evading Wan Jingxuan's thrust with incredible speed and precision.
