I Must Find Him!

Lin Xuan was courting death by talking back to her at this time!

"Holy Maiden!!!" However, just as Lin Xuerou was feeling pleased with herself, a guard panicked and scrambled into the main hall!

Their breathing was rapid, and their expressions were fearful, as if they had just seen a ghost. Lin Xuerou asked directly, "What is it? Why are you so flustered?"

The guard was so anxious that he couldn't even speak properly! "Zhang… Captain Zhang Long… He's dead!

"All of his subordinates are dead! They were all beheaded!

"No survivors!

"I've already gotten someone to bring the corpse back. It's right outside the lobby!"

After hearing the guard's words, Lin Xuerou did not hesitate at all. She immediately stood up and strode out of the hall.

At that moment, the square outside the hall was already filled with corpses. Beside them was a pile of skulls that formed a small mountain!

Lin Xuerou recognized Zhang Long's head at a glance. The twisted, pained, and panicked expression before his death froze on his face, forming a mask of pain. His eyes seemed to be reflecting the shining saber! At that moment, everyone in the square gasped! After all, this scene was too terrifying!

"The body was found in Lin Xuan's courtyard," the guard said.

"Then where's Lin Xuan?"

"Gone…"

After a long while, Lin Xuerou finally spoke. She gritted her teeth and said, "Regardless of the consequences, regardless of the price, we must find him!"

"At the same time, issue a Blood Slaughter Order! Post a bounty on Lin Xuan's head! As long as anyone can bring his head to me, I will reward him with the position of an Elder of the Saint Sword Sect! And a million spirit stones!" In truth, she didn't care about Zhang Long's life or death, but one had to see who the master was before beating a dog. If her dog died, she would lose face! And looking at the corpse, Zhang Long and the others had been instantly killed! Zhang Long was an inner court guard captain and had a Qi Condensation Realm cultivation. Even Lin Xuan, who had been at the Qi Condensation Realm, shouldn't have been able to kill him so easily.

"Senior Brother Lin Xuan, have you been acting with me this entire time?"

In River City, after successfully escaping from the Saint Sword Sect, Lin Xuan headed down the mountain. He headed east, and after a few days of travel, he arrived at the Eastern Prefecture.

River City was the first city he had arrived at. As Lin Xuan entered the city, he walked along the bustling streets, keeping an eye on the movements of the people around him. Although he had successfully escaped from the Saint Sword Sect, he still had to increase his strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the people from the Saint Sword Sect were to find him, he would be in danger!

[Su Ranran: Female]

[Level: Perception Realm late stage.]

[Hidden information: In a private meeting with the young master of the Li family three days later, she was exposed by a servant and was expelled from the family. She was exiled to a remote place and was attacked by demonic beasts on the way.]

[Broken box material: Pearwood Hidden Information: After opening it, there is a martial arts book that allows you to learn low-level martial arts. [Origin Fist]]

…

[Lin Qiang: Male]

[Hidden information: in the middle stage of the Body Refinement Realm: Three days later, he will meet an old man in the pavilion in the middle of the Carp Lake and obtain a mid-level cultivation technique book.]

…

The hidden messages appeared before Lin Xuan like a lantern. However, most of the hidden messages were "none".

After all, not everyone had such a thing as good fortune or luck. Perhaps it was just that fate had not yet arrived. Furthermore, most of the ordinary good fortune of these people could not enter Lin Xuan's discerning eyes. After all, Lin Xuan was once the disciple of the Saint Sword Sect. His standards were extremely high. Some of the low-grade martial arts and cultivation techniques were not worthy of his attention.

Lin Xuan continued his journey east. As the skies darkened, it wasn't too long before dusk arrived. Lin Xuan was walking along a small road in the outskirts of the city. On his hand was a storage ring that he had taken from Zhang Long.

He used his senses to search the contents of the ring to see if he could find anything useful. Finally, his gaze stopped on a tattered ancient book.

"There's a skill within?" Lin Xuan shook his ring and took out the incomplete ancient text.

[High Grade 5 Technique: Thunder Blade Slash]

[Hidden information: Through repeated practice, you can comprehend a higher level. You can quickly grasp it!]

"Thunder Blade Slash?"

"I feel like I've heard it somewhere before. Isn't this the incomplete cultivation technique that the Sutra Pavilion lost a year ago? So it's with Zhang Long!"

Cultivation techniques were divided into nine grades! The first to third grades were the lower grades, the fourth to sixth grades were the upper grades, and the seventh grade and above were the best! Currently, their Saint Sword Sect's top cultivation technique, the "Reincarnation Sword Technique", that their Sect Master cultivated was a medium sixth grade cultivation technique!

Back then, the sect master used this cultivation technique to dominate the world and even killed three leaders of the same level. The Thunder Blade Slash was a cultivation technique that was second only to the Reincarnation Sword Technique! However, because this ancient book was old and tattered, it was incomplete, so the difficulty of cultivating it was extremely high.

Back then, the Sect Master had taken it to cultivate with great interest. Even though he had been cultivating for a few months, he had only just reached the entry stage. After that, the Sect Master had thrown it into the Sutra Pavilion! Almost no one practiced this anymore. Because the ancient books were broken, it was extremely difficult to cultivate, and it was easy to suffer from qi deviation, so no one was willing to spend effort and suffer.

"To think that it would be Zhang Long who stole it from the Sutra Pavilion." Lin Xuan chuckled. However, it was clear that Zhang Long didn't have the ability to master this skill. Otherwise, the one who would have died a few days ago would have been him and not Zhang Long.

Right now, Lin Xuan was completely unable to resist this level 5 cultivation method! At this moment, Lin Xuan's eyes burned with passion! This was a level 5 high-level cultivation method! If he could master it, he should be able to challenge the Stygian Realm!

Lin Xuan's eyes focused on the cultivation method manual, growing increasingly fervent!

Soon, Lin Xuan was surprised to discover that just by looking at this cultivation method manual, all of the cultivation method knowledge began to rush into his mind like a tide!

Now, in the depths of his mind, a figure appeared. This figure was illusory and distant, but at the same time, it seemed as if it were right in front of him. This person's entire body was transparent. From head to toe, from his meridians to his bones, to his blood vessels, even to his tiny cells, everything was clearly displayed before Lin Xuan's eyes!

Every beat of his heart, every impulse of his nerves, every movement of his meridians were all seen by him!

"This is…

"Could it be that as long as I see this cultivation technique manual, my body will automatically deduce the cultivation method of this cultivation technique?" Immediately after, Lin Xuan took out the large saber from his storage ring, the one he had snatched from Zhang Long!

"Alright, let us begin!" Lin Xuan took a few deep breaths, tightly gripping the large blade in his hands. Following the method he had just observed, he began to cultivate!
