Chapter 840: Repay Kindness with Ingratitude



But the only thing was…

Lin Xun felt a bit of rage rising within his heart.

At that time, he had no ulterior motives when he had agreed to Lin Wenjun’s request to escort Xia Xiaochong here.

However, once he arrived, he was warned by someone and told to basically get lost.

How could he not be angry?

Just what kind of person were they taking him for?

In the end, Lin Xun endured the insult. After all, the person in question was Xia Xiaochong’s elder. Although she was being very rude to him, it was all for Xia Xiaochong’s sake, so Lin Xun didn’t feel that there was a need to quibble about it.

Lin Xun finally said, “Don’t worry. There’s nothing between us.”

Lin Taizhen made a noise in assent and continued, “If that’s the case, just tell me whatever you want. Take it as the clan’s way of repaying you.”

There was no gratitude or even any politeness. The only attitude she had towards him was apathy and a hint of warning. She was simply going through the motions of a business transaction.

All of this told Lin Xun that it was better not to have any other intentions.

Lin Xun frowned as the disgust deepened within his heart. During their whole journey here, he had repeatedly encountered members of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, who were chasing to kill. It could even be said that he had almost lost his life and encountered numerous difficult and dangerous situations. Only by surviving through those trials was he able to safely escort Xia Xiaochong here.

But what did he get in return? No gratitude and instead this cold and wary reception. How could he not be disappointed and disgusted?

Lin Xun immediately replied, “There’s no need to repay me. I will leave very soon.”

He felt incredibly disappointed and angry, and didn’t want to bother to find out how to get to East Victory World. He wasn’t convinced that he needed to rely on the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan to get East Victory World.

Who would have thought that his response would only make Lin Taizhen’s face become even darker? She frowned as she said, “Young man, are you still unwilling to give up? My clan must repay favors, so we absolutely cannot allow this debt to stay.”

Evidently, she believed Lin Xun was trying to use this to threaten them, so her tone became even more unfriendly. Her expression was also cold and threatening.

She absolutely could not allow any outsider to have any messy entanglements with the Saintess of the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan.

Lin Xun smiled and replied, “I’m afraid that your clan would not be able to afford it if I really wanted repayment. Let’s just let bygones be bygones.”

He wasn’t saying this out of anger. On the entire journey to escort Xia Xiaochong, he had slaughtered an unknown number of experts from the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.

Furthermore, he was also the reason why the mysterious woman had made an appearance. She had flattened the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan’s headquarters in the West Infinity World, causing a disastrous calamity for them. Who knew how many king level experts from the clan had been slaughtered then?

Because of that, this had removed a hidden danger for the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan!

If he really demanded repayment for something like this, how could they give back enough in return?

Unfortunately, Lin Taizhen’s face became even darker and gloomier. She believed that Lin Xun was aiming too high and failed to appreciate their kindness. She also didn’t have the patience to dally more, so she bluntly said, “Since you are at the Cyclic Derivation Stage, I will give you a secret sky level treasure. These are not much worse than king level treasures. That should be enough to repay you.”

Her so-called charitable attitude held a hint that refusal would not be accepted. It was as if she was granting Lin Xun a giant favor by doing this.

Lin Xun almost couldn’t control the rage within him as he was now incredibly disgusted by her attitude.

He not only had heaven-defying treasures like the Grand Universe Ark and Broken Blade, but he also had the No-Nonsense Bow, Biluo Arrow, and Nameless Pagoda. In fact, the pagoda was also suppressing numerous other true treasures, so why would he care about a secret sky level treasure?

However, when he saw Xia Xiaochong happily chatting in the distance, Lin Xun couldn’t bear to make a fuss now. He sighed quietly and said, “Alright, thank you.”

Lin Taizhen immediately revealed a victorious sneer, and her expression became even more arrogant. She casually took out a jade box and handed it over to him as she said, “After receiving this treasure, our clan’s debt to you is repaid. Best wishes in the future.”

Lin Xun couldn’t bother to reply at this point. He simply took the jade box and stuffed it into his storage ring without even looking at it.

After that, he turned around and arrived next to Xia Xiaochong, completely ignoring Lin Taizhen’s death glare. He said, “Xiaochong, I’m going to leave now.”

Xia Xiaochong was startled and immediately got up. “Older Brother Lin Xun, I want to go with you.”

When Lin Taizhen saw this, her expression morphed indefinitely before settling into a dark haze as rage built within her heart.

Yet this youngster claimed that there was nothing between them?

“There\'s something urgent I need to handle. If I have some free time later, I’ll come back and visit you.” Lin Xun stroked the little lass’ head. After the whole journey together, he also felt a bit reluctant to part with her.

In the end, he steeled his heart and turned away.

“Older Brother Lin Xun!”

Xia Xiaochong wanted to chase after him but was stopped by Lin Taizhen. This made her quite angry and annoyed, so she screamed and made a fuss. She watched as Lin Xun’s figure disappeared into the distance. On her innocent little face, tears rolled down her cheeks and fell to the ground.

When Lin Taizhen saw this, the storm between her brows became even darker.

She had lived for a long time, so it was easy for her to tell that the lass had already become incredibly dependent on the young man. It was quite likely that she already had some unsaid feelings for him!

“Xiaochong, you must be fatigued from the journey. Why don’t you rest for a little bit?”

As Lin Taizhen said this, she used a secret art to hypnotize Xia Xiaochong to sleep.

Following that, she looked in the direction that Lin Xun had left with an icy, cold expression.

……

On the way out, Lin Xun felt a bit depressed. Life was hard to predict, and he truly didn’t expect to meet someone so disgusting at Azure Hill Mountain.

“If it weren’t for Xiaochong’s sake, do you think I’d put up with an old biddy like you?”

Lin Xun raised up his wine gourd as he moodily drank some alcohol by himself.

Before long, his eyes narrowed as he felt an incredibly intense killing intent aiming for him.

At the same time, an icy, cold voice echoed in his ears, “Young man, after thinking about it, I think that it’s better for you to stay than leave at this point.”

Accompanying that voice was a person. She had hair as white as snow, and her stunningly beautiful face was ice cold. Surprisingly, it was Lin Taizhen, who he had just met!

“Give me a reason to.”

Lin Xun’s face quickly became apathetic and calm. The gloomy anger he had held within his heart could no longer be suppressed. He had repeatedly shown restraint throughout all of this, but this old hag instead decided to take things to the extreme and try to kill him!

“Originally, you have given my clan a great favor, so I should have rewarded you greatly. Unfortunately, if I let you leave, then the secret of our clan living on Azure Hill Mountain would be leaked.”

Lin Taizhen had an arrogant and cold expression as she continued to explain, “The most important thing is, if I’m not mistaken, that you know how to use my clan’s secret technique, the Great Formless Art. Do you think…I’d really ignore that and let you go?”

She blocked his way with intense killing intent.

“Aren’t you repaying my kindness with ingratitude?”

Lin Xun’s black eyes were chilly as he revealed a rage-filled smile. “From the day I started cultivating, I have yet to meet anyone who is as shameless as you, stupid old fool!”

“Young man, I know you have a lot of grievances towards me, but who’s at fault for this? Whether it’s my clan’s Saintess or the fact I can’t let our secret technique get leaked, the fact remains that you cannot live anymore.”

Lin Taizhen’s face was expressionless as her killing intent became even more icy cold.

Right as she finished, she attacked without the slightest bit of hesitation.

Bang!

A large, purple handprint appeared, covering the sky as it oppressed the void. Rumbling sounds echoed through the air as it traveled toward Lin Xun in an attempt to extinguish him.

The surrounding mountain terrain was unable to bear this kind of terrible force and immediately began to explode and break down. Nearby rocks transformed into powder. Lin Taizhen’s might was quite frightful as she was at the half-step king stage. Furthermore, she had activated a killing might to destroy Lin Xun on the spot.

Lin Xun’s face looked indifferent as a furious light ignited in the depths of his eyes. He flashed as the giant handprint loudly fell down, crashing into the ground noisily. A giant pit had formed from the impact, and cracks spread from the center.

“Young man, there’s no point in struggling now. Your fate was decided the moment you learned the Great Formless Art.”

Lin Taizhen’s white hair began to float while her expression stayed apathetic and arrogant. She fully activated her secret art and moved the giant handprint. Purple divine light whistled and roared as it traveled through the void, and it was a truly frightening sight.

“Aren’t you afraid that Xiaochong will be bitterly disappointed by your actions?” asked Lin Xun coldly as he continued to dodge the attacks in the sky.

“Xiaochong is still young and doesn’t understand the dark side of people’s hearts. As long as you disappear, she’ll naturally won’t know what has happened to you.”

Lin Taizhen waved her finger like a sword, shooting out purple-colored sword light that covered the area. The entire sky was covered by this brilliant, sharp light and the killing intent was incredibly frightful.

Lin Xun inhaled deeply but still didn’t fight back. He activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step and continued to dodge as he asked, “Is this the will of the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan or was this something you decided on your own?”

Sharp blade rain ripped countless, shocking holes into the void. The scene was incredibly terrifying, but nothing had injured Lin Xun so far.

This made Lin Taizhen realize that something was not quite right. Her desire to kill soared up as she answered, “You are at death’s door, so why do you have so many questions? Just die, I’ll make sure it’s quick!”

Rumble!

She fluttered in the air and drew a line with her hand. Strands of divine purple light transformed into terrible sword light that was infused with the power of lightning. There were too many to count as they clustered and began to soar toward Lin Xun.

This was truly an awful sight. If this had happened before Lin Xun had recently transformed himself, then he absolutely would not be able to counter it easily.

“Old hag, do you really believe I’m scared out of my wits here?”

Lin Xun clenched his jaw as he could no longer restrain the hatred bursting inside of him. This old biddy was insistent on repaying his kindness with ingratitude and also wanted to murder him to keep her clan’s secrets safe. Even if Xia Xiaochong appeared now, he wouldn\'t be able to stop himself from acting.

Bang!

Suddenly, Lin Xun’s entire demeanor and appearance changed as if he was a sleeping giant awakening. There was a sense that he had the power to engulf the heavens and the earth with the ability to look down disdainfully upon all others.

Compared to how he was before, he felt like a completely different person. Splendorous light surrounded him completely, and the sound of his power exploded. Behind his head, the image of a divine wheel appeared, putting out immeasurable light that looked like it was enough to illuminate the entire world!

Eh?

Lin Taizhen’s pupils shrank as she was a bit surprised. The fact that a young man at the Cyclic Derivation Stage could have such an imposing aura was quite unexpected for her.

Shortly thereafter, she coldly snorted. As a half-step king expert, she didn’t fear a junior!

She gathered her strength, using both of her hands to grab, filling the entire sky with purple sword intent filled with lightning. It resembled a giant waterfall falling from the Ninth Heaven.

However, at that moment, Lin Xun’s brows emitted a lustrous white light that resembled a dreamy tip of a blade. It then blossomed into a magnificent divine flower.

Swish!

The tip of the blade appeared, drawing a curve resembling a divine rainbow. It looked as if it was cutting apart the Ninth Heaven and severing it!

“Ah——”

Lin Taizhen screeched as her right arm had been immediately sliced off and had flown away. In fact, the right part of her body had also been injured, ripping open a deep wound that revealed bone. She had almost been eviscerated, so she raised her head and fell from the void.
