Chapter 213 That Lin Xun, however, was an exception!

“Regarding that Lin Xun, there is news from the Tianji City side.”

Jiang Yuerou’s words slowly echoed in the Zilin Great Hall.

Hearing the name “Lin Xun,” everyone sucked in a breath of cold air again.

Whenever it concerned Lin Xun, they inevitably sucked in a breath of cold air.

It couldn’t be helped; the shock Lin Xun gave them was too great.

Especially after hearing the Holy Land Elder who followed Her Highness the Saintess to the Heiwu Secret Realm say that Lin Xun was not surrounded by a thousand Cultivators in the Heiwu Secret Realm as the newspapers claimed.

Instead, Lin Xun faced a thousand Cultivators alone; hundreds rushed at him, only to be swept away, and in the end, no one dared to step forward.

They were even more worried in their hearts!

Their own Saintess hadn’t fully developed yet and was still in the farming phase.

If Lin Xun were to emerge first, what would they do?

“No need to worry.”

Seeing their heavy expressions, Jiang Yuerou sighed.

Speaking of which, I was the one tied in a ribbon back then; why are you all so solemn?

Jiang Yuerou spoke slowly, “Lin Xun was originally in the first stage of the Spirit Refining Realm, yet in the Heiwu Secret Realm, he was still restricted to the Dragon Gate Realm. It’s clear that Lin Xun has indeed fallen in realm, and the drop caused by the great dao injury is extremely severe. Lin Xun’s current strength won’t be that great.”

“So that’s how it is.”

“I knew it; that Devil Head Lin Xun is intolerable to the Great Dao!”

“The Spirit Refining Realm was already in a league of its own, yet this Lin Xun wanted to unite with the heavens and earth, to stand shoulder to shoulder with the heavens. Such arrogance.”

“If that Lin Xun comes, we will surely ensure he never returns!”

Hearing Jiang Yuerou’s words, everyone felt a surge of relief, suddenly feeling like they were capable again.

“In short.”

Jiang Yuerou ignored their bursting confidence and continued.

“Last time Lin Xun appeared, he left behind too many traces. Moreover, Lin Xun ‘kidnapped’ the Saintess of Tianji City as a hostage and placed a Love Gu on her. Tianji City is very furious, and their Elders have been continuously calculating the heavenly secrets.

Yesterday, Tianji City sent me a secret report. They finally concluded that Lin Xun is currently in the Qian Kingdom, disguised as a Mortal scholar.”

As she finished speaking, Jiang Yuerou looked coldly at everyone. “Next, I don’t need to say anything more, do I?”

“Yes!” The Hall Master of Rakshasa Hall quickly stepped forward. “My Rakshasa Hall will definitely investigate every scholar in the Qian Kingdom in the shortest time possible! Even if that Lin Xun is disguised as a woman, I will drag him out!”

The Hall Master of Dafeng Hall, Yaosuo, also quickly expressed his stance: “Since we know that Lin Xun is in the Qian Kingdom and is a scholar, we will surely lock onto the target in the shortest time!”

“Very good.” Jiang Yuerou nodded. “But be careful not to alert the enemy.”

“Yes!” everyone responded in unison.

Knowing Lin Xun is in the Qian Kingdom and knowing his occupation, isn’t this simple?

If they couldn’t even find him with this, they might as well jump off the Nether Abyss cliff.

“Qingshang, Luo City is the fief given to you by your sister. I’ll leave the screening of the scholars to you.”

“Yes. If that Lin Xun is in Luo City, this Disciple will surely bring Lin Xun’s head to Master!”

Jiang Qingshang knew that Master had entrusted Luo City to her because she feared that if Zilin Holy Land found her husband, she would be implicated and her identity would be exposed.

One day, she would surely tell the world about her relationship with her husband, but it couldn’t be now. Otherwise, her husband, as a Mortal, would face immense pressure, and it would be difficult to arrange for him to enter Zilin Holy Land in the future.

“We will also do our utmost! We shall present the head of the Devil Head Lin Xun to the Holy Lord.”

“Head?”

Jiang Yuerou’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes shifting slightly.

Indeed, that Demon Son Lin Xun was very annoying—so annoying that she wished she could tie him in a ribbon every day and trample him under her feet.

To repay him double for what he had done to her! To break her Heart Demon and reclaim the dignity she had lost back then!

To make him never dare call her ‘Auntie’ or ‘Old Lady’ again!

But she hadn’t actually thought about killing that guy.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

Jiang Yuerou coughed, straightened her expression, scanned the Zilin Great Hall, and said seriously.

“That Lin Xun, I want him alive!”

“…Yes!”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood their Holy Lord’s meaning!

Want him alive?!

That meant their Holy Lord wanted to make that Lin Xun wish he were dead!

After all, since the Holy Lord began her cultivation, she had never tasted defeat!

Just like the current Saintess, the Holy Lord was also a favored daughter of heaven two thousand years ago, topping both the Qingyun Ranking and the se jia ranking! Countless young talents pursued her in vain.

Back then, the Holy Lord’s saying, ‘If you want me, defeat the sword in my hand first,’ was widely circulated! Countless people fantasized about defeating their Holy Lord and winning the beauty.

But in the end? Weren’t all of them hung up and beaten by their Holy Lord?

But that Lin Xun was an exception!

Not only was the Holy Lord defeated by Lin Xun, but she was even tied into a ribbon and left on a tree!

Such humiliation! How could the Holy Lord, with her extremely strong self-esteem, endure it?

For a moment, the Hall Masters and Peak Masters of Zilin Holy Land had already imagined scenes of Lin Xun being tortured day and night by the Holy Lord, his screams never-ending.

“Rest assured, Holy Lord! In less than half a year, my Rakshasa Hall and others will surely deliver that Demon Son Lin Xun, bound hand and foot, before the Holy Lord!” the Hall Master of Rakshasa Hall said confidently!

“Hmm, very good.” Jiang Yuerou nodded. “By the way, Hall Master Luo, I heard you have a daughter named Hua Lengyue who is exceptionally beautiful?”

“Yes.” Luo Hansan was a bit puzzled, not knowing why the Holy Lord was asking. “Lengyue previously went to the battlefield between Zilin Holy Land and the demonic sect Diexue Pavilion. The battle is over now, and she will return in a month.”

Jiang Yuerou nodded, feeling that everything was going according to plan. “Then for the recruitment and selection of Zilin Holy Land’s introductory Disciples the year after next, let Lengyue be in charge?”

“Yes!” Luo Hansan was very excited!

In charge of introductory Disciple selection! That meant Lengyue would become the Mentor for the introductory Disciples the year after next! This was a massive benefit for Rakshasa Hall!

Luo Hansan decided! He would work harder tonight! He’d strive to have a few more daughters next year!

Others also looked at Luo Hansan with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hate.

But what could be done? That child Hua Lengyue was truly excellent; even they liked her.

But Hua Lengyue was good in every way, except for the misfortune of having a father like Luo Hansan…

“Master, Qingshang feels this matter is open to discussion.”

Right then, Jiang Qingshang spoke. It even felt like the Saintess’s tone was slightly anxious, but they thought they must have been mistaken.

When the Holy Lord was trapped, the Saintess was incredibly calm. How could she have an emotional outburst over the selection of introductory Disciples?

“Oh? Does Qingshang have a suggestion?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Qingshang looked directly at her Master.

“Qingshang wants to be in charge of the Disciple selection the year after next!”
