Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 718: Chapter 716: The Demoness’s Tactics!

The martial artists holding torches quickly rushed over and surrounded Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan’s expression darkened. He said coldly, "Are you blind? She’s clearly a demoness from the Demon Sect. How could you fail to see it?"

"Young Master, don’t listen to his nonsense," Blood Shadow hurriedly explained. "I am not a demoness from the Demon Sect at all. I am just a martial artist from Lion Moon City. This man saw my beauty and had improper designs on me, so I fled all the way here. Please, Young Master, you must save me."

Hearing this, the man in the green robe was even more furious. How could there be such a depraved person! He said, "Miss, don’t worry. As long as I am here, no one can harm you. Men, seize him!"

The man in the green robe waved his hand, and the surrounding martial artists drew their swords from their waists, preparing to attack.

Lin Xuan was also enraged. He took a step forward and said coldly, "Who dares make a move? I am a Saint Academy Disciple." With that, Lin Xuan produced his disciple token.

The surrounding martial artists looked at each other in dismay. One of the middle-aged martial artists said, "Young Master, this token seems to be real. It seems he really is a Saint Academy Disciple."

"So what if he’s a Saint Academy Disciple?" the man in the green robe snorted coldly. "Are there no scoundrels among the Saint Academy Disciples? Attack!"

Hearing this, the surrounding martial artists no longer hesitated and launched their attacks. A terrifying torrent of blade light surged toward Lin Xuan like a tidal wave. Lin Xuan activated the Myriad Dragon Physique to withstand the assault. The blades struck his body, creating a deafening roar, but they didn’t harm him in the slightest.

What? How is this possible? The surrounding martial artists were dumbfounded. What kind of physique was this? It was too terrifying! There were more than a dozen of them, yet they couldn’t even break through his defense. This was completely beyond their expectations.

Lin Xuan snorted coldly and stomped his foot. The ground trembled violently as cracks spread in all directions, sending the dozen or so martial artists stumbling and falling to the ground. Then, Lin Xuan strode forward. He was not going to let Blood Shadow escape.

"Young Master, save me!" Blood Shadow feigned a pitiful look and cried out again.

"Boy, stop right there!" the man in the green robe shouted angrily. He drew his sword and slashed forward. The sword strike was a flash of green and red light, carrying immense power! This man was actually a three-star Grandmaster.

Lin Xuan raised a hand and swatted the green-red Sword Qi away. A boom resounded as the Sword Qi was sent flying back, forcing the green-robed man to retreat continuously.

How is this possible? I’m at the mid-stage of a three-star Grandmaster, yet I still can’t handle him. Are the disciples of the Holy Abyss really this strong? But so what? This is my family’s estate, my territory!

He roared at the top of his lungs, "Guards! Guards!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

In the distance, lights flickered on in the palaces and pavilions, and figures rushed out. A large number of martial artists flooded the courtyard, sealing the area completely.

A middle-aged man strode over and asked coldly, "Who dares to cause trouble in my Yu Mansion?"

"Father, you’ve come at the perfect time!" The green-robed man, Yu Fei, grew excited at the sight. He pointed at Lin Xuan and said, "This kid is guilty of countless evils! He tried to abduct a woman in broad daylight. He deserves to die!"

This middle-aged man was the Patriarch of the Yu Family, Yu Qingshan. Hearing this, his face darkened. Could he be a remnant of the Demon Sect? With this thought, he looked at Lin Xuan, killing intent rising in his eyes. Remnants of the Demon Sect were a target for all righteous people. Although they wouldn’t dare to go out and directly confront the Demon Sect, if someone from the Demon Sect dared to break into their Yu Mansion, they would not let them leave alive.

"I am not from the Demon Sect." Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back and declared loudly, "I am a Saint Academy Disciple, Lin Xuan. I pursued a remnant of the Demon Sect to this place. That woman is the real remnant of the Demon Sect."

What? The moment he said this, the entire crowd was in an uproar. Countless gazes turned toward Blood Shadow.

Blood Shadow, however, was very calm. Her Phantom Mask was enough to completely change her appearance. Even a King wouldn’t be able to see her true face, so she wasn’t worried at all. She continued her act, saying pitifully, "Senior, please see the truth. I am not a remnant of the Demon Sect at all."

She raised her delicate, tear-streaked face, looking utterly pitiful. Seeing this, the people around couldn’t help but soften. How could such a pitiful, beautiful celestial maiden be a remnant of the Demon Sect? This kid was clearly spouting nonsense.

Yu Fei added, "Father, so what if this kid is a Saint Academy Disciple? He’s probably just using that status as a cover to abduct a beautiful woman. We must not let him off today!"

The other martial artists were also seething.

"Just because he’s a Saint Academy Disciple, he can do whatever he wants?"

"Exactly! Aren’t there scoundrels among the Saint Academy Disciples? I think this kid is one of them!"

"So many Saint Academy Disciples are out there fighting the Demon Race, but he’s here trying to snatch a young woman. How shameless!"

"He’s ruining the reputation of the Sacred Institute!"

These people looked at him with utter contempt.

Yu Qingshan also frowned. The status of a Saint Academy Disciple was nothing to scoff at, so he didn’t dare make a fatal move. However, he wouldn’t let the boy act with impunity either. He stared at Lin Xuan and said coldly, "You claim she is a remnant of the Demon Sect. Do you have any proof?"

Lin Xuan replied coldly, "That is not her real appearance. She is wearing a mask that changes her face and aura. You’ll know once you inspect it."

After hearing this, Yu Qingshan looked at Blood Shadow and said solemnly, "Miss, would you permit us to inspect you?"

"I will," Blood Shadow nodded meekly. She then looked toward Yu Fei, slightly raising her delicate face.

"Should I be the one to check?" Yu Fei’s heart skipped a beat. He raised his hand and reached for her exquisite face. The moment his hand touched her skin, as smooth as ice and jade, he couldn’t help but tremble inwardly. "My apologies," Yu Fei murmured before quickly conducting his inspection. Soon, he withdrew his hand. "Father, I’ve checked. There are no traces of a mask on her face. This kid is obviously talking nonsense."

What? Lin Xuan was stunned. He had clearly seen her put on a mask with his own eyes. How could it not be detected? Could it be that Yu Fei has been completely bewitched?

"Let me inspect her," Lin Xuan said, striding forward.

"Enough!" Yu Qingshan barked, taking a step forward as his power erupted, shaking the heavens and the earth. Even Lin Xuan was startled; he hadn’t expected Yu Qingshan to be such a powerful expert. Yu Qingshan said coldly, "Young Master Lin, that is quite enough. My son has already checked and found no problem. Moreover, I used my Soul Power to investigate just now, and I did not detect any trace of a demonic aura from this young lady. All of this proves she is merely an ordinary martial artist, not a remnant of the Demon Sect."

"Are you sure you investigated thoroughly?" Lin Xuan asked with a frown.

"Insolence!" Yu Fei roared. "How dare you question my father? My father is a fourth-rank Alchemy Master! His Soul Power is extremely formidable. How could his senses be wrong?"

Indeed, the other martial artists nodded in agreement. In their eyes, Lin Xuan was just stirring up trouble and twisting the truth. Thus, they glared at him with extreme hostility.

Yu Qingshan then issued an order for him to leave. "Young Master Lin, please depart now. Otherwise, we will not be so courteous."

Lin Xuan frowned. "Are you certain you want to protect this demoness from the Demon Sect? I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the consequences."

Yu Qingshan replied coldly, "Whatever the consequences, the Yu Family will bear them all. Now leave, quickly."

"Fine, fine, fine. Remember what you’ve said. Don’t regret it."

Lin Xuan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and departed.

Watching Lin Xuan’s retreating figure, Blood Shadow was ecstatic. Hmph, I finally got rid of that boy. Next, I’ll recover properly here in the Yu Mansion. Once my vitality and blood have returned, I’ll find that boy and take my revenge.

"Rest assured, Miss. You may stay in the Yu Mansion. No one will be able to harm you," Yu Qingshan said solemnly. He then arranged for accommodations for Blood Shadow.

As for Yu Fei, he was even more attentive. He personally escorted Blood Shadow to her quarters and brought her several bottles of Healing Elixirs.

Thus, Blood Shadow settled in. After consuming the elixirs, her injuries gradually healed, but her vitality and blood were far from fully recovered. After all, her previous consecutive use of life-saving techniques had consumed a great deal of her life force, which was not something ordinary elixirs could restore. She had to devour the vitality and blood of other martial artists.

If I devour the vitality and blood of these martial artists in the Yu Mansion, not only will I recover, I might even be able to break through and become a four-star Grandmaster. After all, the Yu Family’s Clan Leader is a powerful expert; his vitality and blood would be a magnificent supplement. However, he is far too strong. I’m no match for him. I’ll have to use a ploy. These people trust me completely, so I’ll take advantage of that trust, find an opportunity, and poison them! I have an incredibly terrifying poison in my possession. Once someone is afflicted, not even a fourth-rank Alchemy Master can cure it. Using this poison against the Yu Family is absolutely foolproof.
