The voice, clear and sonorous, echoed across the hall.
Why did someone come to look for Lin Xun?
Startled, the audience all stopped what they were doing and turned their heads towards the hall entrance.
A slender and elegant young woman strode into the hall. Her fiery red cloak accentuated her stunning but frosty face.
Her aura was imposing and powerful like thunder, and her movements were swift and direct like the wind. Her face was filled with arrogance and superiority like a dazzling wild flame.
Hua Wuyou!
Why is she here?
Many people identified her at once and their hearts uncontrollably tensed up.
Hua Wuyou was a fierce figure in the younger generation of the Hua Clan, one of the seven high clans. Last year, the Qinglu Academy accepted her due to her outstanding achievements and qualifications.
Within just one year, she became a formal student of the Qinglu Academy’s Dao Martial Department because of her extraordinary talent!She was cold, haughty, and always behaved in an unruly manner. Nothing good would happen to anyone who dared to anger her. She was known as the Demoness among the aristocratic clan youngsters.
For example, a young master from a middle-class aristocratic clan was almost beaten to death and lost his cultivation because he had harassed her at a banquet.
Since then, Hua Wuyou received the title Demoness.
No one could have imagined that the Demoness would suddenly appear and demand to see Lin Xun seconds after Song Chonghe and Song Zhe had been dealt with.
This is too bizarre. What is Lin Xun doing? He not only angered the young masters of the mighty Song Clan but also Demoness Hua Wuyou from the Hua Clan?
Those are two top aristocratic clans!
Ordinary cultivators would have trouble resting and eating if they offended any one of them. They would be in a constant state of anxiety, but Lin Xun had angered the descendants of two top aristocratic clans! It was hard to believe!
Most importantly, Song Chonghe couldn’t be compared to Hua Wuyou because she always behaved in an unruly manner, and the consequences of angering her compared to Song Chonghe were much more severe.
“Second Elder Sister, it’s him!” an angry voice rang out.
Only then did everyone notice that a flowery-robed youngster behind Hua Wuyou was glaring maliciously at Lin Xun.
The youngster’s face was bruised, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered with blood stains. He looked very discomposed and had suffered a recent beating.
It was Hua Wuhen!
It dawned on everyone that Lin Xun had violently beat up Hua Wuhen and ended up angering Demoness Hua Wuyou!
On the other hand, when Lin Xuefeng saw Hua Wuhen and Hua Wuyou aggressively storming into the hall and pointing their fingers at Lin Xun, his expression changed.
He never thought that the Hua Family’s retaliation would come so fast. He even more didn’t think that Hua Wuhen would rush over here to get revenge in his wounded state.
For a moment, guilt and self-blame flooded Lin Xuefeng. If It wasn’t for me, how would this happen?
“You’re Lin Xun?”
Hua Wuyou’s eyes flashed like lightning as she coldly fixed them on Lin Xun while killing intent spread across her frosty face.
PA!
In the blink of an eye, a fiery red whip tore through the air like a thunderbolt and brought down frightening aeth power.
It was aiming for the top of Lin Xun’s head!
The attack was as swift as lightning but with a thunderous force that could slaughter demons and crush mountains.
So terrifying!
So strong!
The moment she stepped into the hall, she swung her whip to kill. She didn’t care about anything, and she simply regarded everyone as nothing!
What was acting unruly and wildly?
That was!
She had lived up to the name Demoness with that attack.
No one could react in time, and they could only watch as the whip aimed at Lin Xun’s head. Caught off guard, Lin Xun could only bring his fist up to meet the danger head-on.
With a deafening boom, the table in front of Lin Xun smashed into smithereens, and he staggered back several steps. Although Lin Xun had managed to block the attack, his right hand was split open with a bloody wound, and his bones were exposed to the air. His right arm throbbed with burning pain. If his body hadn’t been tempered to an incredibly solid state, the whip would have crippled his right arm!
Instantly, Lin Xun’s expression turned ice-cold and his face was terrifying; a chilling glint emerged in his dark eyes. This woman is domineering!
Everyone’s expressions dramatically changed. It never crossed their minds that Hua Wuyou would attack so ruthlessly.
However, Hua Wuyou wrinkled her brows as though she was a little surprised. Then she snorted coldly. “No wonder you dared bully my younger brother in the street. It turns out that you’re quite capable. But you still have to atone for your sins with death today!”
PA!
Before her voice died away, she launched another attack. The dazzling, fiery red whip shattered the space like a bolt of lightning and produced an explosive noise.
Based on imposing manners alone, Song Chonghe and Song Zhe couldn’t compare to Hua Wuyou!
Hua Wuhen was wild with excitement, and his eyes were filled with triumph and malice. He went to look for Hua Wuyou right away because he knew that only she would stand up for him without any scruples!
”Hua Wuyou, you have gone too far!”
Before Hua Wuyou’s whip landed, Shi Yu rushed over and brought out a pair of bronze truncheons.
Ning Meng also acted at the same time. His mighty figure glowed like a sacred mountain as he thrust his fist forward with lightning speed!
However, although Shi Yu and Ning Meng were frighteningly quick, someone was quicker!
Clang!
Bai Lingxi, who had been sitting indifferently, rose to her feet and pointed her transparent, snow-white sword directly at Hua Wuyou from afar.
The sword tip was shrouded in starry light and spewed out an incomparably terrifying sword qi. It was mysterious and ethereal like a star!
“Stop!”
However, Hua Wuyou was even more mighty and forceful. Her flame-like whip danced like a gust of wind. Then, a series of ear-piercing explosions resounded in the air.
Shi Yu’s bronze truncheon was blasted away.
Ning Meng’s punch collapsed.
The star-like glow from Bai Lingxi’s sword was also dissolved.
Hua Wuyou was not inferior in any respect while facing the joint attack of three dazzling figures of the younger generation.
However, after countering those attacks, her body stumbled back several steps and her frosty face flushed.
Everyone stood up, horrified. Hua Wuyou remained calm and composed in the face of joint attacks from three different people. Her strength is terrifying.
Of course, no one could be sure whether Shi Yu, Ning Meng and Bai Lingxi had mobilized their true strength, but Hua Wuyou was no doubt extraordinary.
However, many people were most amazed by Bai Lingxi’s chilling sword light. It was as though starry light had swept across the void. It was not only powerful but also stunning.
Of course, more importantly, no one had imagined that Bai Lingxi would suddenly take action, including Zhao Yin!
His expression subtly changed, and his face clouded over. She stood up for Lin Xun again! What exactly is this about?
“Hua Wuyou, I am the host of this banquet. You not only broke in without invitation, but also started to attack people. Do you think this is your Hua Family’s place?” Shi Yu clasped his hands behind his back and didn’t try to disguise his anger.
“Of course, I have my reasons to kill him. Why do I need to explain to you?” Hua Wuyou uttered coldly, her face full of arrogance.
She then ran her eyes across the people in the hall and her gaze paused at Bai Lingxi.
Immediately, her eyes returned to Lin Xun. “I will give you a chance. In three days, I will wait for you at Sky Martial Arena in the Forbidden City. If you don’t come, I guarantee I will destroy everything you have!”
Hua Wuyou found it difficult to attack Lin Xun again, and so she quickly decided to challenge him to a duel. She turned around and dragged Hua Wuhen away despite his reluctance. She was swift and decisive and wasted no time.
“You want to leave after all that?” Shi Yu’s face was dark and unpleasant.
“What? You want me to stay?” Hua Wuyou asked indifferently without turning her head around.
“Bitch! You are too arrogant!” Ning Meng roared.
“So what?” she retorted.
Shi Yu was clearly infuriated. However, before he and Ning Meng could say anything more, Lin Xun interrupted, “Okay, let them go. I will take care of this matter.”
His expression remained calm and there wasn’t a ripple of emotion in his dark eyes. It was impossible to read his mind, but there was an unquestionable authority in his voice.
Shi Yu and Ning Meng exchanged looks, let out a sigh, and said nothing else.
Hua Wuyou seemed to expect their response as she sneered contemptuously. Then, she quickly disappeared with her younger brother Hua Wuhen.
She came quickly and left quickly. She resorted to violence the moment she stepped into Ninth Heaven Pavilion, but when the situation was not in her favor, she quickly decided to leave. She did whatever she wanted.
The faces of Shi Yu, Ning Meng and the others were overcast.
“Apologies everyone, the banquet is over. Let’s arrange it for another day.”
The successive events had ruined Shi Yu’s mood, and he couldn’t continue the banquet.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, got up one after another, and took their leave.
They also felt that the series of events had ruined the banquet’s atmosphere. It wouldn’t be enjoyable even if they stayed any longer.
Soon, most of the youngsters in the hall had left. Bai Lingxi also quickly got up and said goodbye.
Surprisingly, she never said another word to Lin Xun. It was as though everything she had previously done was out of righteousness and not specifically for Lin Xun.
However, that also wasn’t her usual style. Her actions puzzled everyone.
As soon as Bai Lingxi left, Zhao Yin also said goodbye. But when he was about to leave, he said to Lin Xun with a smile, “Lingxi is that kind of person. She won’t tolerate anything unfair. Don’t think too much about it.”
After saying that, he took a deep look at Lin Xun and drifted away.
“Hey, he’s reminding you not to think about Bai Lingxi, otherwise he will be angry,” Ning Meng snickered.
Only he, Shi Yu, Lin Xun and Lin Xuefeng remained in the hall, so he spoke freely.
