Chapter 26: That’s Right! He Must Be Punished!

The eastern sky showed the white of a fish’s belly, still carrying the faint red clouds left by the morning sun.

“Pfft…”

Figures tumbled out of the void one after another. Clutching their chests, they couldn’t hold it in and all spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The Black Dragon Sect’s Master, Long Shigeng, had a pale face, not only because of his injuries, but also because of the Black Dragon Sect’s losses this time!

Apart from the Upper Five Realms cultivators left to guard the Black Dragon Sect’s headquarters and the Upper Five Realms elders who were far from returning, Long Shigeng had brought out all the other Upper Five Realms cultivators!

For the sake of seizing the demonic sword, they had been certain of victory. Those fools dispatched by the Violet Mist Holy Land had even been ambushed by him, among them the Violet Mist Holy Land’s Immortal realm cultivator, Fang Jianqiu!

For the Ascension realm Long Shigeng, he was absolutely confident he could capture Fang Jianqiu alive, and perhaps even exchange him for the demonic sword’s scabbard.

But who would have thought.

All of this! Was actually destroyed by that one man!
He had easily controlled the demonic sword, and under a single strike, he, an Ascension realm cultivator, could only flee in disarray!
Even his son had died a violent death.

“It seems I can only have another one…” Long Shigeng thought with grief.

However, Long Shigeng was already seriously injured. Even the Upper Five Realms elders he had brought out, only half had returned with him now. The rest of the disciples had all been turned to ash. This was a huge loss of top-tier combat power!
To say that the Black Dragon Sect’s overall strength had been reduced by a quarter would be an understatement!

“Sect Master! Who on earth was that masked man!” an elder said, still shaken with fear.

He felt that he had already used up a lifetime’s worth of luck just by surviving.

As for revenge?

He didn’t even think about it!
It would be good enough if the other party didn’t come looking for trouble.

“Sigh…”

Long Shigeng shook his head and also let out a light sigh.

One of the main reasons the demonic sword was called a demonic sword was that it devoured a person’s mind! In the end, it wasn’t the person controlling the demonic sword, but they were turned into a sword slave.

Therefore, controlling the demonic sword was no easy task.

But when he thought of that man easily gripping the demonic sword, then slapping the demonic sword’s scabbard like giving a naughty child a spank, and the demonic sword actually acting like a fawning child, circling around him…
Moreover, if it were just a demonic sword held by someone of a low realm, he wouldn’t have had to flee in such a state.

But that person was able to wield the demonic sword to such an extent! It wasn’t just the demonic sword’s power; his realm was not low either. He was at least at the Ascension realm!
Especially that pair of eyes under the mask when he looked at him…
Could it be!

Suddenly, that feeling of cold spreading throughout his body once again surged into Long Shigeng’s heart.

【Black Dragon Sect’s Master? That’s it?】

He would never forget the despair of that black spear pointed at his throat.

“Could it be him? But how is that possible? He suffered a backlash from the Great Dao, how could he still have such a realm?”

Long Shigeng muttered to himself.

“Does the Sect Master know who he is?”

“Do you all… still remember Lin Xun?”

As soon as Long Shigeng’s words came out, all the elders of the Black Dragon Sect’s assholes clenched.

Lin Xun!

How could they forget that name?

Back then, he had single-handedly fought his way through the Black Dragon Sect from front to back, coming and going as he pleased. Who dared to stop him?

“Sigh…” Long Shigeng sighed. “This is just my guess. After returning to the sect this time, the entire sect will go into hibernation to recuperate. The Violet Mist Holy Land will not let us go.”

“Yes!” The various elders accepted the order.

“In addition…” The weariness and powerlessness in Long Shigeng’s eyes reappeared, as if he had aged a thousand years in an instant. “Have the Black Dragon Sect disciples spread a piece of news to the world.”

“Just say… Lin Xun has appeared, in Luo City of the Qian Kingdom.”

“Yes!”

Everyone understood Long Shigeng’s purpose.

Whether that man was Lin Xun or not, the matter of the Black Dragon Sect’s great loss of strength could not be hidden. Since that was the case, they would use Lin Xun to attract some attention.

Luo City, this small, ordinary town, was probably going to become the focus…
Luo City. Lin Xun was walking on the street towards home.

He wasn’t worried about anything happening to Qing’er.

Although the hairpin in his wife’s hair was very “ordinary,” so “ordinary” that even an Ascension realm cultivator couldn’t see through it, it was actually a small world. It was the only magic treasure Lin Xun used to carry with him at all times, which showed its importance.

If Qing’er was in mortal danger, the hairpin would activate on its own and pull Qing’er into that small world, so it was impossible for there to be any danger.

Lin Xun felt that Qing’er must have been evacuated from the city. As soon as she entered the city, she would definitely rush home to see if he was there.

At that time, he would first make a breakfast for Qing’er to soothe her worried mood. It would be perfect.

However, while Lin Xun was leisurely, Jiang Qingshang was not.

After that “woman” gave the demonic sword to Wangxing, Jiang Qingshang had Wangxing go back with the disciples of the Violet Mist Holy Land, and then she continued to search in Luo City.

Although she also knew that the crisis in Luo City had been resolved and there was basically no danger, she still couldn’t rest easy.

After the battle of the blood moon, Jiang Qingshang had protected the entire city. The price, naturally, was the exhaustion of her spiritual power. Her body was so tired that she couldn’t even release her divine sense. She could only rely on her body’s instinct to run ceaselessly through the streets.

Looking at the people coming and going, returning from outside the city, her pair of beautiful eyes constantly searched for her husband’s figure.

But when the crowd dispersed, Jiang Qingshang still hadn’t found her husband, so she went around asking everywhere.

And Lin Xun, who had already prepared a meal at home, waited and waited, but still couldn’t wait for Qing’er to come home…
“Could it be that Qing’er is looking for me?”

With this question in mind, Lin Xun decisively left the courtyard.

As a result, as soon as he reached the main street next door, he saw a slender and graceful woman with an extremely beautiful face and a pale complexion, anxiously asking about something.

But the other person just shook their head.

The girl didn’t dawdle either, turning to run towards the next street.

It was just that when the girl turned, she froze on the spot, tears welling up in her shimmering eyes.

Lin Xun slowly approached and gently wiped the corners of her eyes. Although his heart ached, he still teased her heartlessly, “Miss, why are you in such a hurry?”

“Looking for someone.” The girl lowered her head, letting his large, calloused hand gently caress her cheek.

“Who are you looking for? Maybe I can help you, miss.”

“A stinky man! A stinky man who didn’t come home all night, left his wife in the city, and doesn’t even know how to comfort his wife when he sees her crying, and is still thinking of teasing her!”

“This man is actually such a scumbag! Miss, you must teach him a lesson! He must be punished!”

“That’s right! He must be punished!”

As she spoke, the young woman had already hugged Lin Xun tightly, her cheek pressed firmly against his chest.

“Punish him by making him stay with me for a lifetime! And never leave me!
