Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 449: Commanding the Dragon Seekers!

Seeing the members of Black Snake Manor act so arrogantly, Lin Xuan snorted. "Show yourselves."

RUMBLE...

The void trembled as figures descended from the sky. They landed beside Lin Xuan, their formidable auras intimidating everyone present. The experts from Black Snake Manor, who had been sneering just moments before, found the smiles wiped from their faces. In their place was utter shock.

What’s going on? Why is this different from what we imagined? The arrivals aren’t from the Ye Family! They’re from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion! How can this be? Why would the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion be here? Does this kid actually know them?

The men from Black Snake Manor were completely dumbfounded. Many of them were trembling so violently they were on the verge of collapsing to their knees. They were no match for the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion.

"Everyone, don’t panic! This is just a coincidence," the leader of the Black Snake Manor group, a Seven-star Grandmaster, said quickly. "This kid has nothing to do with the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion; they just happened to come here. They’re probably after the Spirit Vein, too. The Ye Family is in decline, so naturally many have their eyes on the Spirit Vein. The Dragon-Seeking Pavilion must be one of them."

Upon hearing this, the others came to a sudden realization. So that was it. They had been scared to death, truly believing the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion had come because of this kid.

Hmph, the kid just got lucky and happened to run into the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion. Does he think he can bluff us by borrowing the tiger’s might? Dream on!

The Seven-star Grandmaster from Black Snake Manor walked over, cupped his fists, and said, "So, you are friends from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion. I take it you’re also here for the Spirit Vein, right? How about this? We split it. A sixty-forty split. You take sixty percent, we’ll take forty. We can divide this Spirit Vein between us."

The people from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion remained stone-faced, ignoring him completely.

The Seven-star Grandmaster frowned. "What? Not satisfied? Then let’s make it a seventy-thirty split. You take seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent is ours."

In his mind, he had already shown immense sincerity. The other party would surely agree. However, the members of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion remained unmoved.

At this moment, Lin Xuan spoke. "Wipe them out."

"As you command," the members of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion replied respectfully. Then, they raised their heads and fixed their gazes on the men from Black Snake Manor. "Attack!"

With a cold shout, the experts from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion moved swiftly.

"What?" The faces of the Black Snake Manor members drained of all color. This kid can really command the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion! Did he actually bring these experts here himself? How is that possible? The Dragon-Seeking Pavilion is a first-rate power, a lofty and supreme existence. Who could possibly command them? What in the world is the relationship between this kid and the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion?

This is insane! At that moment, they completely lost their minds. The faces of the Black Snake Manor Grandmasters turned pale with fright. Many dropped directly to their knees.

"We were wrong! Young Master, spare our lives! We are willing to submit! We’ll hand over the Spirit Vein right now!"

The men from Black Snake Manor hurriedly begged for mercy, but it was too late. The forces of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion had already charged forward. In an instant, several of Black Snake Manor’s Grandmasters fell to the ground.

"Run! Run for your lives!" The remaining survivors fled in a mad panic. They were no match for the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion; all they could do was flee for their lives.

"Don’t let a single one escape," Lin Xuan said coldly.

The people from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion attacked with even greater ferocity. The battle was over in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. An elder from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion returned and reported respectfully, "Young Master, we have eliminated everyone from Black Snake Manor."

"Very good," Lin Xuan said indifferently. "Clean up the battlefield."

He then turned his gaze to the side, where Spirit Stones were piled up like a small mountain. He planned to cultivate right here. Lin Xuan sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the power from the Spirit Stones, while the others from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xuan opened his eyes as a sky-shaking dragon’s roar erupted from within him. The power in his body surged at an incredible speed. His cultivation had reached the level of a Nine-star Martial General!

Excellent! Lin Xuan stood up, thrilled. After his cultivation breakthrough, his strength had increased yet again. Previously, as an Eight-star Martial General, his combat power was equivalent to a Four-star Grandmaster. But now, after breaking through to Nine-star Martial General, his combat power was equivalent to a Five-star Grandmaster. If he were to encounter that Four-star elder again, he could easily finish him off instantly.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Young Master!" the surrounding experts from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, then looked around. He found that the area had been completely cleaned up; the bodies from Black Snake Manor had all been removed.

Very good. The Spirit Vein has been successfully reclaimed, and my cultivation improved on top of that. Killing two birds with one stone. Lin Xuan was very satisfied.

"Move out!" Lin Xuan waved his hand, leading the people from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion away. As they exited the Spirit Vein, he instructed them to return to the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion first and continue searching for Dragon Dao Treasures. He, on the other hand, would return to the Ye Family.

「The Ye Family」

Madam Ye inquired, "The ten days are up. Has that boy returned yet?"

Ye Ruxue shook her head. "Not yet. If he doesn’t come back today, he’ll have exceeded the agreed-upon time. Then, we can rightfully expel him."

Madam Ye breathed a sigh of relief. They could finally drive that boy away. That way, the Fang Family wouldn’t trouble their family anymore. It was just a shame to lose a Spirit Vein like that. *Sigh*... Madam Ye let out a soft sigh. Next, I need to gather more Elixirs as quickly as possible to help my husband recover. Only when he has recovered can our Ye Family return to its peak.

「Meanwhile...」

Bai Qian Qian came looking for Lin Xuan again, but couldn’t find him. She found Ye Qingwu and asked about his situation.

Ye Qingwu was puzzled. "Wasn’t Lin Xuan with you?"

"Lin Xuan hasn’t looked for me," Bai Qian Qian replied.

Ye Qingwu was stunned. What? She had originally assumed Lin Xuan would ask Bai Qian Qian for help, leveraging the power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower to fight Black Snake Manor. But now it seemed that wasn’t the case at all. Lin Xuan hadn’t used the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower’s power.

Did Lin Xuan go alone? It’s over... Ye Qingwu fell into despair. No matter how talented Lin Xuan is, he can’t possibly fight Black Snake Manor on his own! He’s doomed!

Ye Qingwu was crying bitterly. She confronted Madam Ye, "Mother, you’ve killed Young Master Lin! It’s all your fault! He was our family’s savior! How could you be so heartless?"

"What? That boy is dead?" Madam Ye was also taken aback. Lin Xuan wouldn’t be foolish enough to clash head-on with Black Snake Manor, right? As long as he wasn’t an idiot, he would have just run back here. Could he have actually died inside the Spirit Vein?

Just as she was thinking this, the butler rushed in. "Young Master Lin has returned!"

"Really? He’s still alive? That’s wonderful!" Ye Qingwu smiled through her tears. She had been worried sick just now.

Madam Ye let out a sigh of relief. It was good that he wasn’t dead. But surely he failed, right?

"That’s for sure," Ye Ruxue said, a hint of excitement in her voice. "How could he possibly defeat Black Snake Manor all by himself?" At this, they both grew excited. They finally had an excuse to expel Lin Xuan.

Soon, Lin Xuan returned.

When Ye Qingwu saw him, she ran over excitedly. "Junior Brother Lin, you’re okay! That’s wonderful! You scared me to death! Didn’t you say you were going to borrow the strength of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower? Why did you go alone? Don’t you know how dangerous that was?"

"Who said I was going to use the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower’s strength?" Lin Xuan said with a smile. "Regardless, I’ve already reclaimed the Spirit Vein. I consider the task completed."

What?!

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwu froze.

Madam Ye froze.

Ye Ruxue also froze.

This kid actually reclaimed the Spirit Vein? Is he telling the truth? He must be boasting again.

Madam Ye’s face darkened, and she spoke in a cold voice, "Young Master Lin, are you lying to deceive us again? If you couldn’t do it, you should have just said so. Why boast and lie to us? Young Master Lin, you truly are not suited to stay with our Ye Family. Please, leave at once."

Madam Ye gave the order for him to leave.

Nearby, Ye Ruxue sneered, "Kid, do you really take us for fools? How could you defeat Black Snake Manor by yourself? We won’t be deceived. You failed the task, so you should just leave."

Ye Qingwu tried to persuade him, "Junior Brother Lin, let’s just leave Dragon Island. I’ll go back to the Heavenly Dao Tower with you." She didn’t believe Lin Xuan could have defeated Black Snake Manor either. After all, Black Snake Manor was a second-rate power, a true colossus. It wasn’t something a young man like Lin Xuan could challenge. It was already incredibly lucky that he had returned alive this time. As for defeating Black Snake Manor, that was simply impossible.

Lin Xuan, however, shook his head. "Leave? I reclaimed the Spirit Vein! I completed the task! Why should I leave?"
