"Going to such a dangerous place, how can you do without a weapon?" After thinking for a long time, Lin Xuan finally bought a fine steel longsword. In addition, he also bought some body-strengthening ointment.

After buying the items, Lin Xuan went to find Tang Yu, only to find her facing off against a young girl.

"What's going on?" Lin Xuan walked up to Tang Yu.

"Hey, you even brought a pretty boy!" The girl on the other side said rudely.

"Tang Xiaoling, watch your words!" Tang Yu said angrily.

"What, can't I speak?" The girl named Tang Xiaoling sneered, "You're not young anymore, it's time to arrange a marriage for you, so you don't go around chasing men!"

"I think the second son of the Ding family is quite good, I'll introduce him to you someday."

"You!" Tang Yu bared her teeth, ready to pounce.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan held her back, worried that she might get hurt. He had a good idea of the girl's identity; she was likely from the Tang family. He was all too familiar with such internal family conflicts, having faced them daily when he was in the Sword Pool Manor.

"Since you praise the second son of the Ding family so much, why don't you marry him yourself!" Lin Xuan pulled Tang Yu and said with a smile.

"What did you say?" Tang Xiaoling's face changed, "A mere outer disciple of the Xuantian Sect, what right do you have to speak here!"

As soon as Tang Xiaoling spoke, some of the young men behind her started to jeer. A fourth-stage Condensation Pulse disciple dared to speak so boldly: "Do you believe I can crush you with one hand!"

"Who dares to bully Xiaoling, apologize now or crawl out of here!"

No need to guess, these young men were definitely Tang Xiaoling's followers. Their eyes burned with anger, ready to fight Lin Xuan at any moment.

"Want to fight? Just you?" Lin Xuan said casually, completely disregarding the people in front of him.

"Hmph! Tang Yu, your taste is really bad, to choose such an idiot! A fourth-stage Condensation Pulse Spirit Scholar dares to challenge our Zixia Sect!" Tang Xiaoling sneered.

"If you have the guts, fight! He can take on ten of you! Those shrimp behind you, he can handle with one hand!" Tang Yu waved her small fists.

Lin Xuan felt very comfortable being praised by Tang Yu. He observed the group in front of him; they were all dressed in purple, with a cloud pattern on their sleeves, the symbol of the Zixia Sect.

The Zixia Sect, like the Xuantian Sect, was one of the three major sects in Yunzhou, a dominant force. He wondered why Zixia Sect disciples would come near the Xuantian Sect.

Feeling Lin Xuan's gaze, the Zixia Sect disciples glared at him, their eyes full of challenge. Lin Xuan didn't care; their strength was indeed good, all around the fifth stage of Condensation Pulse, but as Tang Yu said, they posed no real threat.

"Since I just bought a weapon, who wants to try?" Lin Xuan slung the longsword over his shoulder, looking carefree.

"Hmph, idiot!" Tang Xiaoling sneered, not believing a fourth-stage Condensation Pulse Spirit Scholar could defeat her followers.

"I'll finish you off!" A purple-clothed young man stepped out, looking somewhat handsome.

"Sorry, the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower doesn't allow fighting!" Just as the purple-clothed young man was about to attack, an attendant quickly stopped the conflict.

The purple-clothed young man was frustrated but didn't dare to attack the attendant. He could only say coldly, "If you're a man, come out!"

Lin Xuan shrugged and walked out with Tang Yu. The Zixia Sect disciples all wore smirks, thinking it would be easy to defeat a fourth-stage Condensation Pulse disciple.

"Is that all you've got? Let me show you what swordsmanship is!" The purple-clothed young man sneered.

"Feather Sword Technique!" The purple-clothed young man swung his sword, creating a purple aura in the air. Purple sword qi turned into feathers, flying toward Lin Xuan.

"Great swordsmanship!" The Zixia Sect disciples behind him cheered. These people looked arrogant, but they weren't stupid. They sent out their best swordsman.

Arrogant on the surface, but using their strongest fighter in the fight, these were indeed cunning young men.

Lin Xuan still had a smile on his face. When the sword aura reached him, he finally moved.

Instant Shadow Step activated, Lin Xuan took a step and appeared right in front of the purple-clothed young man. His fine steel sword stabbed out like lightning, hitting the young man's weak spot.

Clang!

Everyone saw a flash of white light, then the purple-clothed young man's sword flew out of his hand and landed on the ground. The young man looked at Lin Xuan with fear and panic.

One move, just one move, and he was defeated!

"Impossible!" Tang Xiaoling's beautiful eyes widened, and she exclaimed. The group of young men behind her looked even worse, their faces pale with fear.

"Anyone else want to try?" Lin Xuan sheathed his sword and asked casually.

His tall figure, dressed in white, his hair flowing like a waterfall, exuded a vibrant aura.

No one dared to answer.

Many of the young women around looked at Lin Xuan, such a young man was their ideal. Even Tang Yu was excited, her face flushed red as she cheered him on.

Tang Xiaoling's face turned black, and she muttered, but her eyes still showed defiance. "Brother Ding is nearby, wait until you beat him before you get cocky!"

With that, she left with a black face.

"Feeling better?" Lin Xuan turned to Tang Yu and asked.

"Yes, very comfortable!" Tang Yu smiled like a little fox.

"Let's go, I'll take you back." Lin Xuan said.

Tang Yu gave him a glare: "Adventure, coming or not?"

"No time." Lin Xuan refused; he still had to go to the Demon Pit.

"Hmph, coward, no fun! You go back, I'll go to the Demon Pit myself!" Tang Yu huffed.

"What? You're going to the Demon Pit?" Lin Xuan was surprised, "Such a dangerous place, why are you going?"

Tang Yu tilted her head and looked at him: "Don't you know? Some strange stones have appeared around the Demon Pit, supposedly from deep within the Taihang Mountains. Many disciples have gone, even inner disciples have been alerted."

"Damn!" Lin Xuan cursed in his heart. Everyone knew, so why was he still playing around!

"Xuanzi, hurry up, or you won't even get a taste!" Old Wine urged in his mind.

"Such a dangerous place, I'll go take a look, but you should go back." Lin Xuan advised, it would be too inconvenient to bring her.

"Don't worry, the combat team will be there, and my brother will be there too, I'll be safe." Tang Yu patted her developing chest.

"Your brother?" Lin Xuan took a deep breath. Tang Yu's brother was an inner sect expert. If even he was involved, there must be something significant.

"Old Wine, do you know what these stones are and why they attract so many people?" Lin Xuan asked in his mind.
