If they used the name of the Chi Family, one of the seven high clans, the Lu Family, a middle-class clan, will have to obediently follow their orders!

Lu Shaoyun would have to give up on helping their target and going against them!

Moreover, the Lu Family might even get rid of Lu Shaoyun to quell the fury of the Chi Family!

This was power.

When the power between two sides wasn’t equal, the weaker side would have to admit defeat or wait to suffer a heavy blow.

Someone realized a problem and asked, “What about Stone Cauldron Alms?”

Chi Cangmei scrunched her brows contemptuously. Her contempt wasn’t directed towards Stone Cauldron Alms, but at the person who asked the question.

“Do you think that Lu Shaoyun can tear apart the Chi Family and Stone Cauldron Alms? You think too highly of Lu Shaoyun!”

Chi Cangmei\'s voice was cold and filled with indescribable sarcasm. Her response made the asker redden with embarrassment and feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, she was indeed right. Although Lu Shaoyun\'s father, Lu Tianzhao, was one of the attendant elders of Stone Cauldron Alms, anyone with a brain would know that Lu Shaoyun was an incompetent and arrogant young master. Why would Stone Cauldron Alms stand up for him?

Lu Shaoyun was just trying to take advantage of his father’s power.

“Okay, let’s end the discussion here. Lu Shaoyun is a clown not worth mentioning. What we need to do is deal with the target!” Chi Cangmei took a deep breath and began to issue orders.

“Dispatch some people to stand guard on the periphery of Yellow Dragon City. When the target appears, no matter what means are used, we must capture him!”

“In addition, dispatch the five remaining Violet Hero Battleships and launch a full-scale air attack on the target!”

All assistants trembled inwardly. Chi Cangmei’s arrangement was no different from putting all their eggs in one basket!

Their previous operations ended in failure, but they only lost a few hundred cultivators in total.

In other words, they still had over two thousand unscathed soldiers on their side.

However, Chi Cangmei planned to dispatch all people and all five Violet Hero Battleships to the periphery of Yellow Dragon City! It seemed that she planned to fight to the death!

It was too crazy.

It was almost the same as giving up on all tactics and strategies and carrying out a full frontal attack.

However, after careful thought, the hope of success would be higher than their current situation.

Even the thought was terrifying. Over two thousand elite cultivators and five Violet Hero Battleships would be dispatched to crush the target! How terrifying would the scene be?

Regardless of what heaven-defying powers their target had, the waves of attacks would likely drown him!

“We are burning our boats in this operation. If we win, I will hold a grand celebration feast to celebrate.” Chi Cangmei ran her eyes across everyone. “But if we fail…”

Everyone shuddered as an inexplicable sense of pressure filled their hearts.

“I can’t explain to the clan and I can never forgive you all!” Chi Cangmei said each word loud and clear like the ring of a bell.

After a pause, her expression returned to its usual calm indifference. “Of course, the target has a slim chance of surviving under such a full-scale attack. Everyone, don’t worry too much. We will no doubt win if we don’t make any mistakes.”

……

After giving the orders, Chi Cangmei left the mansion and walked alone in the streets late at night.

She decided to launch a full-scale attack because she already knew that they would have little chance of succeeding once their target reached Yellow Dragon City.

Yellow Dragon City was situated in the center of the empire and was less than one thousand miles from the Forbidden City. Additionally, many forces would be guarding the road to the imperial capital.

The majority of the cities between Yellow Dragon City and the Forbidden City were prosperous and populated places with powerful cultivators.

In other words, it would be very difficult to find an opportunity to dispatch forces to suppress the target without causing disturbances to others.

Therefore, a showdown outside Yellow Dragon City was undoubtedly the best decision!

“Lin Xun...where did that guy come from?”

Chi Cangmei had asked herself this question more than once in the past few days. Although she had been appointed to be in charge of the operation, she was unsure why the clan made such a decision.

It’s too unbelievable.

He’s just a teenager at the Human Dipper Stage. Why would the Chi Family make such an arrangement just for him?

“After killing you, maybe, I can get my answer...”

Chi Cangmei murmured as her slender and tall figure drifted along the long street in the dark.

……

Meanwhile—

Yellow Dragon City, Rune Master Association.

A black-robed man with half his face concealed by a hat walked into the Rune Master Association in the dark of the night.

After taking out a bronze badge, which represented an initial junior rune master, the man was respectfully led into a quiet room.

Only verified rune masters could enjoy such treatment.

When the attendant left, the man took off the hat covering his face and revealed his handsome and sharp face. Naturally, it was Lin Xun.

“Fortunately, everything went well.” Lin Xun sat down cross-legged, looking relaxed.

From the moment he entered Yellow Dragon City, he had sensed that he was being watched. Of course, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to go into closed-door cultivation in Auspicious Inn.

He had used Lu Shaoyun as a guise and deliberately expressed his plan of going into closed-door cultivation to divert the attention of his enemies.

Then, he dug up the floor of his room in the inn and opened up a secret passage using a blade and left the inn without anyone knowing.

In the end, he came to the Rune Master Association.

The Rune Master Association was undoubtedly the safest place. With the initial Rune Master badge he had received from Chu Feng, he would receive the highest standard of treatment and protection.

In other words, Lin Xun didn’t need to worry about being disturbed or attacked when he went into closed-door cultivation to attempt to break through into the Earth Dipper Stage.

After a short rest, Lin Xun didn’t waste any more time. He straightened his back, sat down cross-legged, and began to focus on his cultivation.

He had already sensed that he was close to breaking through to the Earth Dipper Stage when he left Qingliu Town. He didn’t want to be disturbed by the outside world during his breakthrough.

He began to mobilize his solid and ocean-deep cultivation, and pure aeth dipper power roared out his body like waves.

Soon, he fell into a deep cultivation state.

Meanwhile, Lu Shaoyun was drinking leisurely in the Auspicious Inn. With one leg crossed over the other, he fantasized about his plan for revenge. The more he thought about it, the more delighted he looked.

He was unaware that a group of descendants from the wealthy clans in the Forbidden City had directed their hatred towards him and that Chi Cangmei had issued an ultimatum to his Lu Clan.

All these misunderstandings arose because he was with Lin Xun.

If he didn’t contact the people in Stone Cauldron Alms in Yellow Dragon City, it wouldn’t have led to the string of misunderstandings and made his situation worse.

Unfortunately, Lu Shaoyun was still unaware of his situation. He was only thinking about how to save himself and had never thought that he would be seen as helping Lin Xun.

“No!”

Suddenly, Lu Shaoyun seemed to realize something. He scrunched his brows and fell into deep contemplation. “That damn guy said he is going into closed-door cultivation. Could he actually be watching me secretly?”

“No, I can’t act too abnormally. I have to pretend and put on a good show!”

Lu Shaoyun got up and walked out of his room. He stopped in front of Lin Xun’s closed door, took a deep breath, and donned an expression full of grief. “What do you actually want? I have cooperated with you already. Can’t you just give me a clear answer?” he wailed, his voice hoarse.

“Bastard! Tell me, what the hell do you want from me?” He lowered his voice as he didn’t want to attract attention.

Otherwise, other people would think that he was crazy.

Although his wailing didn’t seem to attract much attention, in truth, someone was secretly watching him in the dark. And soon, the news about Lu Shaoyun’s late-night visit to Lin Xun’s room spread out.

“He said he has already cooperated with the target? And he wants the target to give him a clear answer?”

Outside the Auspicious Inn, the bamboo hat man’s face darkened when he heard the report from his subordinates.

He gnashed his teeth and said, “Lu Shaoyun is indeed on the same side as the target! Go, keep watching him. I want to know what he and the target are planning”

Lu Shaoyun returned to his room after his emotional performance, and he couldn’t help but smile triumphantly.

He thought his performance would deceive Lin Xun and not draw suspicion from him.

The more he thought about it, the more complacent he became. My plan is simply perfect.

So, he planned to ‘perform’ at Lin Xun’s door every day for the next few days.

He was as obsessed as a maniac. On the other hand, the cultivators sent by the Chi Family were all convinced that Lu Shaoyun was on the same side as Lin Xun. No one would believe him even if he could bring out any evidence.

One day, the bamboo hat man suddenly realized a problem, and his expression dramatically changed.

He had only been watching Lu Shaoyun’s movements these days and had overlooked one thing.

Their target hadn’t appeared ever since he went into the inn!
