Chapter 419: Visitors from the Xuanyuan Family

Lin Chuan told Shangguan Qing about the forging of the Sword of All Beings.

"Not cutting living beings, only cutting Black Mist?"

Shangguan Qing was shocked.

He thought Lin Chuan was a Demon Cultivator, but after seeing the prototype of the Sword of All Beings, he was stunned.

What kind of enlightenment can forge such a sword?

Because it is not understood, it becomes seen as a demon by the world?

At this moment, Shangguan Qing truly let go.

If he could truly become a towering great hero, Shangguan Meng would know and be proud of him, right?

Even if the way to become a hero is a bit different,

it still genuinely protects the people he wishes to protect.

If one day Black Mist invades, for his sister, he would certainly charge in without hesitation; she is his only remaining family.

For this, he can give everything.

"If I can truly help the Pavilion Master, I am willing to merge into the sword spirit and become one aspect of the Sword of All Beings."

Shangguan Qing had a strong warrior's willingness to die.

Lin Chuan also genuinely felt Shangguan Qing's change of mindset, all of which stemmed from Shangguan Meng's improved condition.

"Cherish the remaining time."

But he will not abandon his plan because of the bond between the Shangguan siblings.

The deal has been concluded.

Shangguan Qing must still fulfill what they are to fulfill.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Shangguan Qing clasped hands and thanked, "I will arrange a time to leave; please, Pavilion Master, take good care of my little sister."

"Hmm." Lin Chuan nodded, "As long as I am here for a day, she will surely be safe."

"Alright! I trust you!"

Shangguan Qing believes that anyone capable of forging the Sword of All Beings would never be a treacherous scoundrel.

Perhaps many people in the world do not accept the Myriad Symbol Pavilion's philosophy.

But for a person like him, when facing worldly injustice and oppression, only those who can lay down their life.

The Myriad Symbol Pavilion is hope.

He willingly does all this.

…

Several days later.

The flying boat returned to the Daoist training hall where the Myriad Symbol Pavilion resides.

Before it landed, Lin Chuan sensed a terrifying aura locking onto the flying boat; Shangguan Qing, standing beside Lin Chuan, felt it equally clearly, and his complexion changed abruptly.

"Members of the Xuanyuan Family have arrived!"

Shangguan Qing's body trembled uncontrollably.

Yet the younger sister, Shangguan Meng, felt nothing at all.

"Leave it to me."

Lin Chuan spoke lightly and calmly, his voice steady, carrying a strange magical power that quickly steadied Shangguan Qing's emotions.

The flying boat landed.

Lin Chuan led the Shangguan siblings out.

Looking ahead, he saw two people standing before the Myriad Symbol Pavilion gate.

One was a servant of the Xuanyuan Family, the Tiechu Xiuzhe, who now stood respectfully behind another person.

The other was an elderly man, slightly stooped, exuding a calm and resolute demeanor forged by countless hardships; his snow‑white hair fell loosely over his shoulders, and the wrinkles on his face were like valleys carved by time.

Beside the elder leaned a massive sword.

Its blade was simple yet heavy, and even ununsheathed it radiated a sharp aura.

Faint scratches on the blade seemed like medals earned in countless battles.

The elder's hand rested lightly on the hilt, his rough fingers contrasting starkly with the cold metal.

Sensing Lin Chuan's arrival, he lifted his head, his deep eyes meeting Lin Chuan's gaze as if trying to see through the young man.

But he found that no matter how he looked, the young man resembled an ocean; he saw a calm sea surface,

and waves that could at any moment engulf him.

"Hmm?"

The elder frowned, his expression suddenly growing heavy.

No wonder he dares to openly challenge the Xuanyuan Family; indeed, he had never seen such an unusual young man—so young yet exuding a weight of ages.

"I am the 72nd‑generation elder of the Xuanyuan Family, Xuanyuan Jinglan, and I have come to demand an explanation for my family's guardianship."

"Why does the Myriad Symbol Pavilion involve itself in the personal feud between Shangguan Qing and my Xuanyuan Family?"

Xuanyuan Jinglan knew Lin Chuan was no ordinary person.

So he did not strike immediately.

But it was merely surprise; it did not mean he would be fearful.

The Xuanyuan Family fears no power.

He came not to ransom anyone, but to demand an apology.

Otherwise, everyone would think the Xuanyuan Family is easy to bully; if they bow today, won't everyone want to ride on their heads in the future?

"I don't care about any grudges you have."

Lin Chuan said coldly, "The Shangguan siblings are already members of my Myriad Symbol Pavilion; anyone who dares to move them is crossing me."

Xuanyuan Jinglan was startled; he hadn't expected this young Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion to be so forceful.

What exactly is the other's background?

Otherwise, a mere legend—on what grounds does he dare speak to him like that?

He is indeed a strong practitioner of the True God Realm.

Within the super powers, he belongs to the upper echelons; who would dare disrespect him?

"Little Daoist Friend, don't be so arrogant."

Xuanyuan Jinglan replied with a cold laugh, "Even if your family's elders arrive, they wouldn't dare treat me this way. In fact, the matter of the Shangguan siblings isn't a big issue; I can let it go."

"If your Myriad Symbol Pavilion offers a token of apology to my Xuanyuan Family, this matter will be considered settled."

Xuanyuan Jinglan didn't want to make a move.

He already sensed a protective aura on Lin Chuan, even the presence of more than one super power.

Such a talent, placed in any super power, would be an absolute core disciple.

The kind whose behind-the-scenes forces would fight desperately if killed.

"A token of apology?"

Lin Chuan sneered, "On what grounds should I apologize? It's you who should apologize for smashing my Myriad Symbol Pavilion. It was built by my beloved, a thousand Chaos Stones; missing even one is unacceptable."

Lin Chuan's forcefulness is meant to leverage the Xuanyuan Family's rise and completely tarnish the Myriad Symbol Pavilion's reputation.

"Kid, do you really think that having some background lets you do whatever you want?"

Xuanyuan Jinglan was utterly enraged.

All are super powers; the Xuanyuan Family is neither the strongest nor the weakest among them.

"Will you apologize or not?"

Lin Chuan continued to question.

Xuanyuan Jinglan, unable to bear any longer, was about to act when he saw Lin Chuan pull out a Jade Talisman.

A familiar aura spread over the Jade Talisman.

"This is..."

Xuanyuan Jinglan's expression changed, "The aura of Chang Haoge?"

Who is Chang Haoge?

He was the previous founder of the Purple Star Emperor Sect, a man who dominated an era, and now the most Wangxian Realm‑close great being of this age.

When the next Immortal seat becomes vacant, Chang Haoge will surely ascend to Immortal.

This is already a universally acknowledged fact in the Wangxian Realm.

This Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion actually carries Chang Haoge's protective Dao talisman? That means he is Chang Haoge's direct disciple?

Given Chang Haoge's pride, he could let such an ancient monster, after living for millennia, return to teach a junior.

It is enough to prove how terrifying the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion's talent is.

The fact is the same; he observed the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion's realm, merely the legendary Third Realm, yet he could instantly subdue the legendary Fourth Realm's Tie Chui.

With such bearing, even the old Chang Haoge could not achieve it.

Of course, these are not the point.

The point is the Purple Star Emperor Sect's protective calf characteristic, which irrationally shields its own offspring; would they dare move the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion?

People of the Purple Star Emperor Sect would absolutely cause a massive uproar!

"This—"

At this moment, it is Xuanyuan Jinglan who finds himself on a tiger he cannot dismount.
