Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 434: Young Master Lin! Spare My Life!

The onlookers were completely stunned. So, a Supreme VIP really does exist! And to think, the status is so unbelievably honorable! This kid is just a minor Martial General, how could he possibly be compared to such a powerful figure? He’s definitely not a Supreme VIP! This Bai Qianqian is a terrible liar!

Wu Yuan sneered coldly. "Father, cripple him first! I want to torture him to death!"

"Tower Master Wu, are you insane?" Bai Qianqian shouted angrily. "If you dare lay a hand on a Supreme VIP, you will be expelled from the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower! You might even have your cultivation crippled, condemning you to a life worse than death!"

Wu Qiming laughed heartily. "Nonsense! How could he possibly be a Supreme VIP? Bai Qianqian, you have the audacity to conspire with an outsider to impersonate a Supreme VIP and deceive me. Do you have any respect for me, the Master of this Tower? Today, I’ll teach you a proper lesson!"

After speaking, the spiritual power within him erupted. His palm enlarged, descending like a great mountain as it aimed to suppress both Lin Xuan and Bai Qianqian.

Seeing this, the crowd was in an uproar.

"Alas, is Tower Master Bai going to be defeated?" someone murmured.

"She’s so foolish! Why would she lie for that boy?"

"She must be a lovesick fool, completely infatuated with him."

"Sigh, how utterly stupid."

The crowd shook their heads and sighed, all of them certain that the two were doomed.

But at this critical moment, Lin Xuan produced a black card. His calm voice rang out, "Open your eyes and take a good look. What is this?"

The black card shimmered with a deep, black light, mysterious and dazzling like a black jewel.

Wu Qiming’s hand froze in mid-air. His eyes bulged as he stared intently at the black card, exclaiming in shock, "That’s a Supreme VIP card!"

The onlookers were all stunned. Wu Yuan was speechless. They all stared dumbly at the black card as if they were in a dream.

A Supreme VIP card... That kid actually has a Supreme VIP card! Could he really be a Supreme VIP? This is just too incredible!

Everyone gasped in unison. This kid’s background was truly significant.

Wu Yuan, however, roared frantically, "Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible! It’s a fake! He can’t be a Supreme VIP!"

As he spoke, he lunged forward to snatch the card, but Wu Qiming stopped him, sending him flying with a single kick. Wu Qiming’s expression had turned exceedingly ugly. He had recognized it at a glance—the Supreme VIP card was real.

Bai Qianqian hadn’t been lying. This young man was truly a Supreme VIP.

Heavens, what have I done? I actually tried to attack a Supreme VIP... I was courting death!

"My greetings, Young Master." Wu Qiming quickly retracted his palm and bowed deeply. "Please forgive me, Young Master. I was blind and failed to recognize your esteemed status. I have offended you, and for that, I offer my deepest apologies."

The crowd was once again in an uproar. No one could have imagined that the previously domineering Tower Master would now be so servile. It was beyond belief.

Wu Yuan was even more bewildered. "Father, why are you apologizing to him? He’s a con man! That VIP card is a fake! Hurry up and kill them!"

"Shut your mouth!" Wu Qiming was practically bursting with fury. He slapped Wu Yuan fiercely across the face again, then dragged him over and forced him to kneel before Lin Xuan. "Kowtow and apologize to the Young Master now!"

"I won’t kowtow!" Wu Yuan remained defiant.

Wu Qiming resorted to force. "If you don’t kowtow, I’ll beat you to death!"

After two heavy punches, Wu Yuan grew fearful. His father was truly enraged. He hurriedly begged for his life, "Spare me! I was wrong!" Turning to Lin Xuan, he pleaded, "I beg for your magnanimity, Young Master. Please forgive me this one time."

Wu Qiming bowed deeply to Lin Xuan again, his face a mask of terror and anxiety. He had no choice. A Supreme VIP was an existence akin to a god. The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower was an ancient organization, rumored to have existed for over ten thousand years, but in all that time, very few Supreme VIP cards had ever been issued. Every person who received one was an unparalleled existence, a being who could make the entire world tremble with a single stomp of their foot. He was a mere Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower on Dragon Island; he could not afford to offend such a person. Even if he had ten thousand lives, it would not be enough. He had to beg for mercy, apologize, and do whatever it took to quell the other’s anger.

"Scared now? It’s too late. Kill them," Lin Xuan said coolly.

Hearing this, Wu Qiming’s vision went black, and he nearly fainted from sheer terror.

Fortunately, Bai Qianqian spoke up from the side. "Lin Xuan, for my sake, please spare them this one time."

"Alright. For your sake, Qian Qian, I’ll spare them this time."

"Thank you, Young Master Lin! Thank you, Tower Master Bai!" Wu Qiming hurriedly expressed his gratitude, his attitude impossibly respectful.

Nearby, Wu Yuan kowtowed repeatedly. Only now did he understand how terrifying Lin Xuan truly was—a single word from him could decide their life or death. How could he have ever dared to offend such a person? He was incredibly lucky to still be alive.

"Everyone, rise," Bai Qianqian said with a wave of her hand. She then turned to the surrounding guards and said in a cold voice, "Not a single word of what happened today is to be spoken outside these walls, on pain of death."

The guards immediately dropped to one knee, cupped their fists, and replied, "As you command!"

Seeing how respectful the guards were, Wu Qiming felt a bitter taste in his mouth. It seems that from now on, I will no longer be the one in charge of this Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. It probably won’t be long before Bai Qianqian replaces me. Yet, he felt no jealousy, only immense envy. Bai Qianqian actually knows a Supreme VIP. Her future achievements will be limitless. Perhaps she’ll even get the chance to go to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower one day.

As he was thinking this, Bai Qianqian suddenly asked, "Tower Master Wu, why did you withhold the Ye Family’s auction item?"

"The Ye Family’s auction item?" Wu Qiming was momentarily stunned.

"Ye Qingwu of the Ye Family is Lin Xuan’s Senior Sister," Bai Qianqian explained. "Lin Xuan came here this time for the Ye Family."

"What?" Wu Qiming’s eyes widened. "So that’s how it is. This was all because of the Ye Family." He began to apologize once more.

Lin Xuan simply waved his hand. "Just bring out the Ye Family’s things."

"Well... the item isn’t with me," Wu Qiming said, wiping sweat from his brow.

"Then where is it?"

"It’s with Young Master Fang."

"Then just have him bring it out," Lin Xuan remarked nonchalantly.

"About that..." Wu Qiming hesitated. "I’m afraid I don’t have the authority to make that happen."

Bai Qianqian frowned. "What’s the problem? Is this Young Master Fang from some significant background? Is he even more formidable than a Supreme VIP?"

Seeing that Bai Qianqian was getting angry, Wu Qiming quickly explained, "Young Master Lin is a Supreme VIP, an unparalleled and esteemed existence, a mighty dragon. However, Young Master Fang is the young master of the Fang Family. On Dragon Island, the Fang Family is a first-rate power, the local tyrants. As the saying goes, a mighty dragon cannot crush a local snake. Getting Young Master Fang to hand over the item will not be so simple."

"So that’s how it is." Bai Qianqian’s frown deepened. "Why is the Fang Family targeting the Ye Family?"

"You don’t know?" Now it was Wu Qiming’s turn to be surprised. "This is a major affair that everyone on Dragon Island knows about!"

Bai Qianqian shook her head. "I’ve only been on Dragon Island for a few days, and Young Master Lin just arrived. We aren’t very familiar with the local situation."

Wu Qiming immediately elaborated, "The situation is this: the Clan Leader of the Ye Family has been poisoned. They’ve hired many Alchemy Masters, but none have been able to cure him. It’s estimated that only a fourth-rank Alchemy Master could succeed. The Fang Family happens to have a fourth-rank Alchemy Master, so the Ye Family sought their help. Young Master Fang used this as an opportunity to make a demand—he wishes to marry Ye Qingwu. However, Ye Qingwu has consistently refused, so the matter is at a stalemate. The Ye Family has been searching for other ways to save their Clan Leader. The elixir they won at the auction, the Five-Colored Glazed Elixir, is a very famous Antitoxic Elixir. Young Master Fang deliberately confiscated it to pressure the Ye Family and force Ye Qingwu into his hands."

"Despicable! Shameless!" Bai Qianqian was furious.

Lin Xuan’s expression turned even darker. He dares to have designs on Senior Sister Ye? He’s truly courting death!

"Where is this Young Master Fang?" Lin Xuan asked coldly.

Tower Master Wu hurriedly tried to dissuade him. "Young Master Lin, please don’t be rash! The Fang Family is a first-rate power, with Grandmasters presiding over it. You are no match for them. You absolutely must not offend them!"

"Grandmasters are nothing!" Lin Xuan scoffed. "Even a King cannot harm me. What can a mere Grandmaster possibly do? Lead the way. Now!"
