Qin Xuan’s heart sank, but then he just sneered and stood up from the tree with an understatement.
“This Young Master truly has sharp eyes to be able to discover my location.”
Qin Xuan said as he cupped his hands towards the other party.
Looking at Qin Xuan standing on a high perch, the young man disdainfully shook his head.
Before he could even speak, several of his followers surrounding Qin Xuan started shouting.
“What a joke! What doesn’t our Young Master Lin Xiao know? Do you, kid, think you can muddle through by hiding in the dark? How laughable!”
“Exactly! If it weren’t for Young Master’s keen insight, we really would have let a rat like you sneak past.”
A group of followers kept yelling at Qin Xuan, but Qin Xuan ignored them, only looking at Lin Xiao.
This place is still very close to Xuanlong City, could it be the Lin family from Xuanlong City?
Qin Xuan frowned.
Among the Four Great Families of Xuanlong City, the Lin family’s influence was no less than that of the Zhao Family.
The power behind this person was probably not small.
“Your Excellency hid so well, of course I couldn’t discover you; it was my Treasure Seeking Spirit Rat that found you.”
Lin Xiao said with a smile, slowly taking out a pure white rat from his sleeve.
“This is a Spirit Communicating Rat!”
Upon seeing this rat, Han Ye exclaimed in Qin Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.
“Spirit Communicating Rat? What’s that?”
Qin Xuan wasn’t clear about what a Spirit Communicating Rat was.
“A Spirit Communicating Rat is also called a Treasure Seeking Spirit Rat. This type of Spirit Rat is naturally sensitive to all kinds of treasures. It is said that as long as you possess a Treasure Seeking Spirit Rat, it can determine where there are treasures nearby.”
“Qin Xuan, it seems you were discovered by this Treasure Seeking Spirit Rat when you were hiding in the tree just now.”
He was actually discovered by this kind of thing.
Qin Xuan was also a bit speechless for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and looked at the other party indifferently.
“Young Master Lin Xiao, I am merely passing by here and have no intention of touching your prey. Please ask your people to make way so I can leave.”
There were powerful Spirit Beasts in the valley, and Qin Xuan didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
However, Lin Xiao clearly didn’t think so.
“Alright, Your Excellency, it’s fine if you want to leave, as long as you hand over the treasure on your person, I can naturally let you go.”
Lin Xiao said arrogantly, as if he had already regarded Qin Xuan as fish on a chopping board.
Treasure on his person?
Qin Xuan was stunned, what treasure?
Then he immediately reacted.
Could it be the Refining God Cauldron?
What a joke, this was something he relied on for survival, how could he hand it over to them?
With a sneer, Qin Xuan looked at Lin Xiao indifferently.
“Is Your Excellency joking? What treasure? I don’t have Your Excellency’s treasure on me. What do you want, Your Excellency?”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao immediately sneered.
“Kid, stop pretending. I’m talking about the treasure on your person. I advise you to obediently hand over the item. That way, you might still keep your life, otherwise…”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan’s face also showed a hint of mockery.
“Young Lord, now is a critical moment for the Family Head to hunt the Wind-Thunder Beast. It’s better for us not to cause extra trouble, after all, the Wu Family seems to be interested in this area as well.”
Just then, the Tianxuan Realm guard walked up to Lin Xiao and spoke to him.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao sneered and shook his head.
“It’s fine. Today is the day the Wind-Thunder Beast advances. It won’t care about the fighting here. Besides, this kid is just a greenhorn, he’s nothing at all. Getting rid of him couldn’t be easier.”
“Alright, you don’t need to persuade me. After we kill him, we’ll go support Father.”
Lin Xiao rejected the suggestion not to cause extra trouble. He stared coldly at Qin Xuan, clearly intending to make a move on him.
On one hand, Qin Xuan’s sudden appearance in this valley likely meant he was from the Lin family’s rival, the Wu Family.
On the other hand, it was because the Treasure Seeking Spirit Rat in his hand was extremely agitated at this moment.
He had not had this Treasure Seeking Rat for a short time.
Ordinary treasures wouldn’t elicit any reaction from this Treasure Seeking Rat; only ore veins or Spiritual Artifact-grade weapons could attract its attention.
However, this time the Treasure Seeking Rat was extremely agitated, so it seemed the treasure on this person was definitely not ordinary.
He must obtain this treasure.
He didn’t know why, but Lin Xiao just felt that the treasure on this person was definitely not simple.
With this thought, Lin Xiao stared intently at Qin Xuan, wishing he could eliminate him with just his gaze.
While Lin Xiao and the guard were discussing, Qin Xuan also heard their words.
Wind-Thunder Beast, so the beast in this valley was called a Wind-Thunder Beast, and it sounded like this Wind-Thunder Beast was on the verge of advancing.
It sounded like the Lin family’s Family Head wanted to get his hands on the Wind-Thunder Beast.
What concerned Qin Xuan the most was what they had just said: the Wind-Thunder Beast was about to advance and wouldn’t care about the situation here at all.
For Lin Xiao, this was a good opportunity to get rid of Qin Xuan.
But Qin Xuan also had the same intention; in fact, at this moment, Qin Xuan was looking at the other party with a half-smile.
For him, how could this not be a good opportunity?
“So, you gentlemen are planning something like this? You want to kill people for their treasures?”
Qin Xuan spoke indifferently. Hearing this, Lin Xiao stopped pretending. He threw his head back and laughed loudly.
“You’re right, I do want to kill people for their treasures. You don’t think that with your current strength, you can deal with us, do you?”
“Now, hand over the item, and I can give you a quick death.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded.
“So, you’re not even willing to spare my life, huh?”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao playfully stroked his chin.
“Sparing your life is absolutely impossible…”
The moment his words fell, Qin Xuan immediately made his move.
“Boom!”
Qin Xuan stomped on the tree with force, and Spiritual Qi instantly erupted, directly shattering the tree.
Borrowing this force, Qin Xuan shot towards Lin Xiao like an arrow.
“Protect the Young Lord!”
The others hadn’t reacted yet, but the Tianxuan Realm expert immediately realized Qin Xuan’s intention and instantly lunged towards Qin Xuan, trying to stop him.
“A mere Profound Earth Fourth Stage actually thinks he can overturn the heavens!”
Hearing this person’s mockery, Qin Xuan completely ignored him. He raised the Wu Feng Sword and smashed it down towards the opponent.
“Boom!”
The Tianxuan Realm expert initially didn’t take it seriously, directly trying to grab the Wu Feng Sword with his bare hands.
But the moment their hands met, he realized how terribly wrong he was. He hurriedly turned and roared at the other side.
“Everyone, be careful! This kid is not simple…”
Before he finished speaking, a crisp sound of bones shattering was heard.
The expression on the Tianxuan Realm expert’s face instantly twisted.
This single sword strike directly shattered his hand bones.
Having struck successfully, Qin Xuan didn’t linger in combat. Using this momentum, he instantly shot off in another direction, rushing towards another person who had originally intended to intercept him.
This person had originally intended to come and support this side, but when he rushed over, he found that Qin Xuan, who was originally attacking the Young Lord, was now moving against him.
“Courting death!”
A Profound Earth Fourth Stage, instead of thinking about escaping, actually wanted to counterattack!
This guard instantly flew into a rage and immediately drew his saber, slashing towards Qin Xuan.
“Clang!”
Saber and sword clashed. Qin Xuan exerted a slight force, instantly shattering the long saber in the guard’s hand, while the Wu Feng Sword cleaved down overhead.
“No!”
Watching this scene in terror, the guard let out a loud cry, desperately dodging the Wu Feng Sword’s strike.
But before he could celebrate, Qin Xuan rushed behind him, changing his palm into a claw, and fiercely tore down at the person’s Dantian.
“Rip!”
This person’s Dantian was ripped open by Qin Xuan.
Immediately, the Primordial Divinity Refining Art circulated, absorbing all of this person’s Spiritual Qi.
Patting this person’s head, Qin Xuan didn’t even spare this person’s Mental Energy, absorbing it all as well.
After doing all this, Qin Xuan sneered and turned, instantly rushing towards his next target.
“This kid is not simple, stop him for me!”
Lin Xiao realized something was wrong at the first instant. He hurriedly ordered the others to move, trying to stop Qin Xuan.
“Stop me? Is it too late now?”
Qin Xuan snorted coldly, instantly rushing towards them.
Along the way, the other few people tried to block Qin Xuan.
However, relying on his speed and Spiritual Qi advantage, these people not only failed to stop Qin Xuan, but were instead defeated one by one by Qin Xuan, having their Mental Energy and Spiritual Qi drained.
For a time, Lin Xiao’s side was in chaos, yet they had no way to deal with Qin Xuan. Watching this scene, the few people present also felt their scalps tingle.
This kid was too terrifying. Was this really a Cultivator at the Profound Earth Fourth Stage?
Only Lin Xiao was excited at this moment.
Qin Xuan was merely a Cultivator at the Profound Earth Fourth Stage, yet his combat performance already surpassed that of a Cultivator at the Early Stage of Tianxuan.
The only explanation was that the treasure on this person was powerful enough to allow him to easily fight above his cultivation level.
The treasure on this person must be obtained.
“Kill him for me! As long as you can kill him, I’ll reward him with a thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones!”
A thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones!
The remaining few people immediately stirred, and many who were originally a bit fearful suddenly had the idea of giving it a try.
After all, this was a thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones! One High-Grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to ten thousand ordinary Spirit Stones, so a thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones was equivalent to ten million ordinary Spirit Stones.
With such a sum of money, they could completely leave the Lin family and establish their own sect.
Thinking of this, many guards immediately turned red-eyed, wanting to rush towards Qin Xuan.
Only the Tianxuan Realm guard hurriedly pulled Lin Xiao, as he had already realized that the strength of the person in front of them was simply not something they could deal with.
“Young Lord, let’s go, it’ll be too late if we don’t…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Xuan on the side burst into laughter.
“It’s too late if you don’t? You’re already too late!”
Before his words finished, Qin Xuan had already rushed over and dealt with another person.
In just over ten breaths, Qin Xuan had killed most of the nearby guards, leaving only the Tianxuan Realm Cultivator and Lin Xiao.
By this point, Lin Xiao was finally frightened by the impending crisis, and his greed immediately disappeared by more than half.
“Damn it, these useless trash, they’re truly good for nothing!”
Lin Xiao cursed fiercely, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.
Even he understood at this moment that he was truly in trouble now.
“Go!”
Seeing this, Lin Xiao hurriedly spoke to the Tianxuan Realm guard.
“Go? Can you even leave?”
