Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 474: Fang Zimo Seeks Revenge!

"Then take a look at this." Lin Xuan formed a sword seal and waved his arm. Immediately, a ray of sword light flew out, swirling in the air. It was the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword.

Seeing this, Yunxi’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Heavens, this divine sword has really been controlled by Lin Xuan! This is unbelievable! How did he manage it? Could he really be a Dragon Warrior?

"Alright, you don’t need to stay here any longer. You can go back now." After speaking, Lin Xuan rode his sword away from the lake.

Fairy Yunxi left as well. She returned excitedly to the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion, stunning everyone there.

Why is Yunxi back? Did something happen at Dragon Spirit Lake?

They knew that as a Dragon-Seeking Envoy, Yunxi was specifically responsible for guarding Dragon Spirit Lake. Her return at this time definitely meant something was afoot. Even the Pavilion Master was alarmed. He came out and asked, "Is there a problem with the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword?"

Yunxi reported, "Pavilion Master, the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword has been subdued by the Young Master. There is no longer any need for me to stay there."

"What?" Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master was stunned, as were all the surrounding elders.

The Young Master subdued the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword! Is that for real? It’s too unbelievable!

Soon, however, they all frowned, feeling it was highly unlikely. The Pavilion Master even exclaimed, "Utter nonsense! The Young Master’s status may be extraordinary, but he lacks the strength to subdue the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword."

He himself was a Grandmaster, and even he had failed in the past. How could Lin Xuan possibly succeed? According to the Pavilion Master’s calculations, the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword was at least a sixth-grade Spiritual Artifact. This meant that one would need to reach the Martial Emperor realm or be a Dragon Warrior to even have a chance of subduing it. Lin Xuan met neither of these conditions; it should have been impossible for him.

The surrounding elders murmured in agreement. The Young Master is merely a nine-star Martial General. How could he succeed? Unless he’s a Dragon Warrior... but the path of the Dragon Warrior was severed long ago. No one in this world can become one anymore. The Young Master isn’t a Dragon Warrior and his cultivation is weak. How could he possibly subdue the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword? Yunxi is clearly lying.

The Pavilion Master’s voice turned stern. "Yunxi, I know that guarding Dragon Spirit Lake for all these years has been incredibly dull, but that is no reason for you to lie."

"I’m not lying!" Yunxi protested. "Everything I said is true!"

The Pavilion Master’s face darkened. "The Young Master really subdued the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword?" he asked coldly. "Stop spouting nonsense and hurry back to your post at Dragon Spirit Lake."

With that, the Pavilion Master stormed off in a rage. The other elders shook their heads and sighed.

One tried to console her, "Yunxi, don’t worry. We will select other Dragon-Seeking Envoys soon to help guard Dragon Spirit Lake. Then you’ll be free."

"Yes," another added. "If you didn’t want to guard the lake, you could have just told us. There’s no need to make up a lie like this."

"I’m not lying! I’m telling the truth!" Yunxi cried out in exasperation. Why wouldn’t any of these people believe her?

「...」

Lin Xuan was unaware of the commotion at the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion. He rode his sword back to the Ye Family estate. The members of the Ye Family saw him return and greeted him with excitement and gratitude, for they knew it was he who had brought back the Divine Soul Recovery Pill.

An elder smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, Madam Ye has already started to improve after taking the Divine Soul Recovery Pill. She will surely make a full recovery this time. You have done our Ye Family a great service. We have prepared a generous gift and had it delivered to your courtyard. Please do not refuse it."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded and returned to his courtyard. Sure enough, there was a Treasure Chest sitting in the yard. Inside were many Spirit Stones, cultivation Elixirs, and other items. Lin Xuan put them all away.

Afterward, Lin Xuan walked into his room, preparing to enter secluded cultivation once more. Before that, however, he had one more thing to do. With a wave of his hand, he took out more than ten Storage Rings. These had belonged to the geniuses he had defeated, and one of them was Fang Zimo’s.

Lin Xuan emptied the rings and did a simple sorting of the contents, placing the Spirit Stones and Elixirs in their own piles. It was another substantial hoard of cultivation resources. Whether he absorbed them for his own use or exchanged them for other Treasures, they were invaluable. This left Lin Xuan quite satisfied.

Hmm, what’s this?

In Fang Zimo’s Storage Ring, Lin Xuan discovered a box. It was crafted from stone and was only about the size of his palm. He gave it a squeeze but was shocked to find he couldn’t crush it. One had to understand how formidable Lin Xuan’s physique was; an average Grandmaster couldn’t withstand a single blow from him. Yet this stone box remained perfectly intact. It was truly incredible. It seemed the stone used to craft it was of an extraordinary grade. What could possibly be inside?

Lin Xuan began to examine it carefully. The stone box looked ancient and unadorned, its surface marked only by the natural texture of the stone. He decided against using his Cyan Dragon Sky-Hunting Hand, fearing that forcibly breaking the box might damage whatever was inside.

Lin Xuan asked the big black dog if there was any way to open it.

The dog glanced at it and said, "There’s an Array seal on it. That’s why you can’t open it. You just need to break the seal."

The big black dog then began to instruct Lin Xuan on how to do just that.

「Meanwhile, at the Fang family estate.」

News of Fang Zimo being thrown out had reached the Fang family, and they were furious.

Who dares to throw out the young master of the Fang family? Do they have a death wish? This is a provocation against our family!

They launched an investigation in a fury and discovered that the incident was once again related to the Ye family. Damn it all! First, Fang Fan’s death was connected to the Ye family, and now Fang Zimo’s humiliation was as well. The Ye family was truly audacious. Many were ready to attack and annihilate them.

But Fang Zimo spoke up, "It wasn’t the Ye family. The one who acted was Fairy Yunxi."

In reality, he had been defeated by Lin Xuan, but he was too embarrassed to admit it. After all, Lin Xuan was just a nine-star Martial General. Being defeated by someone of that level was far too disgraceful. So, he lied and claimed he had been defeated by Fairy Yunxi. She was a guardian of Dragon Spirit Lake and a six-star Grandmaster. Losing to her wasn’t shameful.

Hearing this, the Fang family elders frowned. Fairy Yunxi’s status was not ordinary; she was from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion, a power no weaker than their own Fang family. They truly didn’t dare to make a move against the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion so easily. It seemed they would have to swallow this loss.

A middle-aged man, Fang Zimo’s father, spoke. "Zimo, you should stay in for a while. Focus on recovering." His son’s injury was a disgrace for him as well.

However, Fang Zimo shook his head. "Father, I still have unfinished business."

"Please, Father, grant me one more third-rank Spiritual Artifact."

"What are you planning to do?" the middle-aged man asked, startled. "Are you going to attack Fairy Yunxi? You are no match for her. The gap between you is too vast."

"Not Fairy Yunxi. It’s someone else."

Fang Zimo promised he wouldn’t make a move against Fairy Yunxi. Only then did his father breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, he sighed, took out a high-grade, third-rank Spiritual Artifact, and gave it to his son.

A sharp, murderous glint flashed in Fang Zimo’s eyes. He would make his move again. He would defeat Lin Xuan and take his revenge!

Not only that, but Lin Xuan had also taken his Storage Ring, and inside that ring was a stone box. The family ancestor had personally tasked him with finding it. If it was lost, the ancestor would surely punish him, and his fate would be miserable. He absolutely had to get that stone box back!

As for how to defeat Lin Xuan, he had a plan. His previous Blood Dragon Blade, a mid-grade, third-rank Spiritual Artifact, had allowed him to fight opponents of a higher level. Now that he had a high-grade, third-rank Spiritual Artifact, fighting above his rank would be even more effortless.

This time, he was certain he could defeat Lin Xuan
