But Wen Xiang understood right away. The fact that Lin Xun had survived six stages of lightning tribulation and performed extraordinarily was enough to deter Su Xingfeng from doing anything.

That guy is too strong. He launched a bloodbath against the cultivators of all clans. He is simply invincible. Even Saint-level figures don’t have the guts to face him head-on. Based on that, if I was Su Xingfeng, I also wouldn’t recklessly go up against him.

He sighed emotionally. “Indeed, after Lin Xuan broke through to the Heaven Ascension Stage, he is no longer the same as before. I also somehow feel oppressed when I face him.”

“Have you heard of the strongest Supreme Path of ancient times?” asked Su Xingfeng.

“You mean, Lin Xuan has embarked on such a path? Isn’t it said that such a path no longer exists?”

“A hundred years from now, an unprecedented Great Dao catastrophe will descend and a battle of the great age will break out. Under those circumstances, it’s not unusual for the Supreme Path to reappear.”

Su Xingfeng’s usual cold and aloof expression was mixed with graveness. “It’s just that I never thought that a little cultivator from a lower domain world would be able to embark on such a path. It’s too unbelievable.”

From what he knew, the Supreme Path was a collective term for the strongest path of cultivation. It was extremely rare in ancient times, and very few people could set foot on it.

Lin Xuan had to be extraordinary if he could embark on that path.

“In that case, Senior Brother Su, should we give up our plan to seize that pagoda?” Wen Xiang’s expression morphed indefinitely.

“Give up?” Su Xingfeng shook his head, flames pulsing in his eyes. “How can we give up on the pagoda just like that?”

Wen Xiang’s eyes narrowed. “Then, Senior Brother Su, what do you plan to do?”

“Did you recognize the assassin that attacked Lin Xuan just now? If my guess is correct, that guy is Senior Brother Xiao Ran!”

Wen Xiang’s heart leapt to his chest and his expression dramatically changed. “Could it be Senior Brother Gong Yangyu? Senior Brother Xiao Ran is currently guarding Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain, waiting for the great opportunity of the Deva Secret Realm to appear. He wouldn’t...come here just to deal with Lin Xuan, right?”

“Gong Yangyu? Haha, he doesn’t know the Myriad Apparition Art!” Su Xingfeng snorted.

The Myriad Apparition Art!

Wen Xiang cried out, “A few years ago, wasn’t it proven that this ancient art does not exist?”

A few years ago, it was rumored that a long-lost ancient art appeared in a forbidden area of Spirit Treasure Holy Land, and it was obtained by a disciple of the sect. It caused a great commotion at the time.

However, no one knew which disciple acquired the unique cultivation art.

Later, the sect master of Spirit Treasure Holy land personally came forward to calm the chaos.

“It’s not that it doesn’t exist. Instead, that unique cultivation art is too extraordinary so it would bring endless trouble once exposed to the world. The influential figures unanimously decided to block the news to protect Xiao Ran. They didn’t want others to be jealous and attack Xiao Ran for the cultivation art.”

A cold glint flashed in Su Xingfeng’s eyes. “At first, I wasn’t sure, but after seeing the secret art that the assassin performed just now, I am absolutely certain that it’s the Myriad Apparition Art!”

“Only such a mysterious art can transform the use into thousands of flawless figures!”

Su Xingfeng suddenly gritted his teeth and said, “Do you know why I have always been afraid of Xiao Ran? It’s because he’s too shrewd. He seems carefree and detaches himself from worldly affairs, but I know that he is the most scheming and terrifying among everyone in Spirit Treasure Holy Land!” His voice was laced with envy, jealousy and indescribable hatred.

“Senior Brother Su, even if the assassin was using the Myriad Apparition Art, that can’t prove he’s Senior Brother Xiao Ran, right?” Wen Xiang still couldn’t believe it.

In his mind, Xiao Ran was a gentle, humble and kind man. He was as detached and carefree as the clouds floating in the sky.

He couldn’t associate the words scheming and shrewd with Xiao Ran.

“Hmph, it is impossible to judge a man’s heart from his exterior. There are some things that I can’t explain to you, but I can tell you with absolute confidence that the man in black who tried to assassinate Lin Xuan is Xiao Ran!” Su Xingfeng was too lazy to explain anymore.

“But...what does this have to do with our plan to seize Lin Xuan’s pagoda?” asked Wen Xiang

“We can work together!” Su Xingfeng answered directly. “Let’s find Xiao Ran and ask him to work with us. I believe he won’t refuse since he also wants to seize the treasures of Lin Xuan!”

“But what if Senior Brother Xiao Ran also wants the pagoda?” Wen Xiang said with worry. He wasn’t confident that he could compete with Xiao Ran.

“Haha, Lin Xun has more than that pagoda. He also has blessings he won from the Five Elements Holy Island. Since it’s a cooperation, Xiao Ran can’t take everything, right?”

Su Xingfeng smiled. “Also, if he refuses to work with us, I will expose his identity and tell Junior Sister Jingxuan that Senior Brother Xiao Ran, whom she respects and admires the most, is the real culprit who repeatedly tried to assassinate Lin Xuan!”

Wen Xiang gasped audibly. This plan...is ruthless!

……

Lin Xun dug out a cave in the depths of a mountain and set up a rune array to conceal his aura. Only then could he rest and recuperate.

“It’s not Su Xingfeng and Wen Xiang. Then it has to be either Xiao Ran, Gong Yangyu or Yun Che.”

“Yun Che practices the Murder Dao. Although he has extremely terrifying strength, he is still only at the Spirit Sea Stage. Even if he has broken through to the Heaven Ascension Stage like I have, he can’t possibly possess a remarkable unique art that can transform thousands of bodies.”

“That leaves Xiao Ran and Gong Yangyu. So, who would it be?” Lin Xun analyzed.

He couldn’t help being vigilant after experiencing two assassination attempts. Furthemore, the assassin had escaped with ease each time.

His impression of Xiao Ran was that he was an ethereal existence who detached himself from worldly affairs and lived a simple life.

Gong Yangyu, a descendant of the Azure Goat Spirit Clan, was elegant, noble and proud.

According to Zhao Jingxuan, behind Gong Yangyu’s proud and arrogant exterior was a pure and kind heart.

No matter how he looked at it, neither Xiao Ran nor Gong Yangyu gave off the impression of a mysterious and ruthless assassin. The differences in their images were too great, so it was hard to associate them with being assassins.

However, Lin Xun didn’t dare to let his guard down because he knew that opponents skilful at disguising themselves were the most dangerous and terrifying!

“No matter who it is, when we meet again, I will make you show your true face!”

After a long moment, Lin Xun drew a deep breath, and his dark eyes flashed a resolute glint.

He brought out the Nameless Pagoda and checked on the first floor of the pagoda.

Zhao Jingxuan was motionlessly meditating. Although the injuries all over her body were healing, Lin Xun knew her condition was still not too good.

The injuries she sustained to protect Lin Xun in the previous battle were far more serious than he had thought.

Lin Xun felt both touched and guilty.

He had never thought that Zhao Jingxuan would show up to help him, let alone risk her life to stall for time for him to recover.

Because he didn’t expect that, when he learned about it, besides feeling extremely shocked, indescribable complex emotions swirled in his heart.

No matter what, from then on, he would not tolerate anyone bullying Zhao Jingxuan again!

He also hated Yu Xiaosheng and the others to the core. “Don’t let me see you all again!”

“Ahem.”

At that moment, Jin Duyi, who was also meditating cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and coughed weakly. “Lin Xun, I have been injured too badly. It’s not looking good for me.”

As soon as Toady opened his mouth, Lin Xun already knew what kind of nonsense the former wanted to spew.

He said bluntly, “I’m sorry, but I’ve already used up all the Treasure Lantern King Ginseng.”

“The Qilin Grass will do,” Toady said impatiently.

Lin Xun snapped, “Miss Zhao needs the Qilin Grass more than you!”

Old Toad coughed again and uttered helplessly, “How about this? I have an amazing medicine recipe here. You won’t need to use the Qilin Grass. You just need to gather all kinds of medicinal herbs and ingredients according to the recipe. Maybe it will help me fully recover.”

Seeing that Lin Xun wasn’t fooled, he rolled his eyes and said, “Of course, it might also be very useful for that girl’s injury. Don’t you want to give it a try? She almost lost her life because of you. Are you that heartless to not do anything for her?”

As expected, Lin Xun was tempted. He grabbed the so-called amazing medicine recipe from Toady, but his face suddenly darkened.

The hundreds of medicinal herbs and elixirs listed in the recipe were all very rare and precious. Most importantly, Lin Xun happened to have all of them on him!

He couldn’t help but wonder if Toady deliberately made up the recipe to cheat some rare medicinal herbs and elixirs from him.

“Toady, did you plan this?” Lin Xun’s face darkened.

“What do you mean? I am not that kind of person!”

Lin Xun said expressionlessly, “If you admit it now, I won’t fuss about it anymore and will immediately put together the precious medicine for you. But if you don’t admit it…then I won’t be polite to you!”

Although Toady was very loyal, he was greedy for treasures, and he always wanted to take advantage of people.

Now, he was eyeing the rare medicinal herbs and elixirs on Lin Xun. How could Lin Xun tolerate him?
