Lin Xuan stopped at the doorway, his divine sense covering the entire courtyard like a tidal wave.

Instantly, his gaze sharpened like a knife.

Inside the courtyard, there were three people: a young man, a maid, and a guard—a typical outing of a noble young master.

However, Lin Xuan dared not underestimate them in the slightest. All three of them were very strong, especially the young man, who should be a powerful expert at the Life and Death Realm.

The maid and guard were slightly less skilled, but they were still at the Refinement of Emptiness realm.

Such a combination forced Lin Xuan to be cautious.

"call……"

After letting out a long breath, Lin Xuan pushed open the door and strode into his courtyard.

Looking at the three people, master and servant, sitting in the pavilion in their own courtyard.

Lin Xuan said coldly, "Uninvited guests are thieves. Will the three of you leave on your own, or will I, Lin, invite you out?"

"Who would have thought that the one who killed the Niu family patriarch was actually a prison guard from the Demon Suppression Bureau..."

The young man paid no attention to Lin Xuan's words. Instead, he looked at Lin Xuan with a mocking expression and said, "No... Brother, you are no longer an executioner, but a proper demon-slaying guard."

Upon hearing the young man's words, Lin Xuan's heart trembled, and he could barely suppress the killing intent in his eyes.

A surging, malevolent aura filled the air.

In an instant, the temperature in the courtyard dropped by tens of degrees, and a thick layer of frost appeared on the ground.

Upon seeing this, the guard's expression hardened, and he immediately stepped forward, blocking the young man's path.

He stared at Lin Xuan with a wary expression.

His right hand rested on the hilt of the sword, as if he would draw his sword immediately should Lin Xuan make any unusual movement.

At this moment, Lin Xuan's heart was also unsettled.

The young man in front of him was no ordinary person; he knew exactly where he was going and even that he had just become a Demon Slayer today.

This shows that this person also has connections within the Demon Suppression Bureau.

The most important question is, how did he know that he was the one who killed Niu Zhenshan?

Lin Xuan didn't believe that anyone could recognize him that night.

Could it be because of that sorcerer?

wrong!

That demon couldn't possibly know it was him. He had disguised himself, changed his appearance, and even altered his aura.

He didn't believe that the sorcerer could see anything.

But how did this young man know that?

Or is this guy bluffing him?

Almost in the blink of an eye, a thousand thoughts flashed through Lin Xuan's mind.

His expression was icy, and he said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about. This is my home, and I don't welcome you. Leave immediately."

Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to throw you out myself.

"Hehe... Brother, are you getting angry out of embarrassment?"

The young man chuckled and said, "Brother, rest assured, I'm not here to cause trouble, but rather to cooperate with you."

"Not interested!"

Lin Xuan said coldly, "Are you leaving or not?"

He would never cooperate with this person; who knows what this old man is up to?

It's best to be careful.

“The Primordial Dao Palace is not a piece of meat that you can eat all by yourself. I don’t need you to hand over the token. The important thing is that you bring us in.”

The young man said to himself, "Brother, name your price."

Oh...right, let me introduce myself first. I am Su Wanshan, Su Wanshan of the Su family of the Great Wilderness..."

Holy crap!

Lin Xuan felt a surge of murderous intent.

This guy actually found out. How did he even know?

Many thoughts surfaced in Lin Xuan's mind.

Seeing Su Wanshan's arrogant and mocking expression, anger and killing intent surged in his heart. With a thought, he suddenly slashed out with his sword.

Clang...

The flashing blades were dazzling, and the wind and thunder roared.

Wind and Thunder Blade Technique: Sever the Body!

Lin Xuan showed no mercy from the start, immediately unleashing a killing move.

What does it matter if he's from the Su family or not? Since he's already made a move, he doesn't care about Su Wanshan's identity or background. He's an enemy anyway, so what does it matter what his background is?

"presumptuous!"

Upon Lin Xuan's move, Su Wanshan's guard roared with a ferocious expression.

His sword was also drawn.

A burst of sword energy erupted, crimson as blood, its murderous aura soaring to the heavens.

They immediately met Lin Xuan's attack head-on.

Boom... Bang...

Instantly, the two blades of energy collided, and in just one exchange, the guard's blade energy dissipated.

However, Lin Xuan's sword energy, which was imbued with the power of wind and thunder, showed no signs of weakening.

He continued to slash at Su Wanshan.

The blade's sharpness and intent were palpable, its killing intent fully revealed.

Su Wanshan's face was ashen, and he was no longer the gentle and refined man he had been before. His face was contorted with rage and his eyes were bloodthirsty.

"You're asking for it!"

He gritted his teeth and growled, then swung his hand and slammed out a palm strike.

Suddenly, a chilling power erupted.

A dark, malevolent light barrier materialized in the air, forcefully blocking Lin Xuan's terrifying strike.

Rumble... Bang...

At that moment, the sword energy and the light barrier exploded instantly.

Unparalleled energy surged in all directions. Lin Xuan's mind stirred, and his divine sense drew upon the power of heaven and earth to construct a protective shield, forcibly suppressing the violent energy.

To prevent this energy impact from destroying the courtyard.

This is the courtyard he paid for; if it's destroyed like this, who will compensate him?

Su Wanshan?

What a joke! Look at this kid's expression, he looks like he wants to tear him to pieces. How could I possibly pay him back?

"Lin Xuan, you are very good..."

Su Wanshan gritted his teeth and roared, "I'll let you go for now, but don't be too happy. I'm going to take the pass you have."
