checking the task information with his head down when suddenly someone ran in and shouted, “That guy named Lin Xuan is back, and he’s now in a standoff with the Divine Power Group!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shout immediately alarmed all the disciples at the Task Hall, and they put down their tasks and rushed outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they had never seen Lin Xuan, they had heard of his reputation for almost a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Outer Disciple without any backing dared to kill someone from the Divine Power Group, and the victim was the brother of Zhang Qian, an Inner Sect expert; this was definitely the hottest topic recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Dazheng had heard these stories long ago, but he was only able to fret about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he heard Lin Xuan had returned, he was even more anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a long time, he could only seek Elder Fang’s help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the repaired treasure saber and hurried towards the back mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through numerous halls, Chen Dazheng arrived in front of a quiet courtyard and gave a gesture of respect to the guarding disciple: “Brother, I have an urgent matter and need to see Elder Fang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, it’s you,” the gatekeeping disciple recognized Chen Dazheng and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait here, I’ll notify him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Dazheng waited anxiously outside; at this moment, time was life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every second, Lin Xuan might be taken away by the Divine Power Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t believe Lin Xuan could contend with the Divine Power Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Dazheng felt time ticking away interminably, the gatekeeping disciple led him in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disciple Chen Dazheng paid his respects to Elder Fang, bowing earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the matter?” Elder Fang asked indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Dazheng was anxious but spoke slowly in front of the elder: “This is your treasure saber, Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has been repaired by Lin Xuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan again?” Elder Fang stroked his beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has he returned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, Lin Xuan has indeed returned, but now he’s surrounded by people from the Divine Power Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They insist on saying that Lin Xuan killed their men and now they want to take him away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense!” Elder Fang snapped to urgency upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lead the way!” He grabbed Chen Dazheng and, using his movement technique, left a trail of afterimages in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outer Door lodging area, Tang Yu stood beside Lin Xuan with hands on her hips, glaring angrily at the people from the Divine Power Group and the Law Enforcement Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoever dares to take him away will have to go through me first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan didn’t expect this girl to defend him so fiercely and felt a warm sensation in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He whispered, “Thanks for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!” Tang Yu glanced at him and said, “We had agreed, as soon as you entered the Inner Sect, I’d look out for you, don’t worry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, I must offend you!” Captain Hua spoke coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode forward, his body radiating light, and extended a large hand aiming straight for Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yu’s face showed a chill, and just as she was about to take action, someone pulled her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan pulled her behind him and then swiftly drew his sword, the Black Iron Sword transforming into a streak of lightning as it shot out in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan struck with the Thunder Move Sword Technique, the sword light flashing like thunder, piercing towards the large palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two forces collided, creating the sound of metal striking metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan thrust out three swords, each aimed at different positions, but every strike was repelled by the Spiritual Power of the palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the palm had to halt because of these three strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this the Sixth-tier of Mystical Realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such robust Spiritual Power!” Lin Xuan could feel the strength of the opponent’s Spiritual Power and couldn’t help but admire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene, witnessed by everyone, immediately caused a burst of exclamations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t believe it, he actually withstood a hit from Captain Hua!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can someone in the Fourth-stage of Congealing Veins withstand someone in the Sixth-tier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I dreaming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That sword move was so fast, who on earth is this guy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter who he is, having offended the Divine Power Group and Law Enforcement Team, he’s as good as dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Hua’s face was frightfully dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had used thirty percent of his power in that strike, yet he hadn’t expected it to be blocked by Lin Xuan, let alone in front of so many witnesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Outer Door, where rumors flew and grew more outrageous with each telling, it wouldn’t be long before everyone knew Lin Xuan had blocked his move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his status, this was an absolute disgrace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Defying arrest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bring him in!” Captain Hua roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan pushed Tang Yu to the side and hissed, “Get out of here!” Then he gripped his longsword, ready to break through the encirclement at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of the Divine Power Group sneered as they watched Lin Xuan, knowing he couldn’t escape even if he grew wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha ha, mess with the Divine Power Group and you’ll be repenting for the rest of your life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this critical juncture, a streak of light flashed from a distance and in the blink of an eye, appeared above everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thinking of rebelling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stop!” The figure landed on the ground, and his voice rang out like a bell, quickly spreading in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did everyone get a clear look at the newcomer, an old man with white hair holding a pale-faced disciple, standing in the middle of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s an elder!” everyone exclaimed in shock, bending over to greet Elder Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assaulting disciples all stopped their attacks and stood obediently aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Causing such a commotion within the sect, you’re quite bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps I should send all of you to battle the enemy one of these days!” Elder Fang snapped coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrified, everyone shrank back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world outside was far from peaceful; several places were frequently invaded by Demon Beasts, with the Human Clan often at war with the Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being sent to the frontlines often meant not coming back alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Replying to the Elder, Lin Xuan is suspected of killing his fellow disciples, which is why we…” Captain Hua began in a tone that feigned fairness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Evidence?” Elder Fang cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hua Yangping, as the Captain of the Outer Door Law Enforcement Team, you should know your responsibilities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Hua Yangping said, “but…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, disperse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t come to arrest anyone until there’s evidence!” Elder Fang ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Yangping’s eyes flashed with resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was eager to apprehend the young man who had caused him to lose face, but he was forced to stand down for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time the Law Enforcement Team had been thwarted like this, and it drove Hua Yangping mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Yangping led the dejected members of the Law Enforcement Team away, and everyone else disbursed, knowing with Elder Fang present, Lin Xuan was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Divine Power Group looked at Lin Xuan with malice before leaving reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, what started as a dramatic arrest came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the deal, didn’t you say this kid had no backing?” Hua Yangping asked angrily once they were out of earshot, “Why would Elder Fang come?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Kong’s face was gloomy as he said gravely, “During the investigation, there was indeed no connection found between him and Elder Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what does it matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t forget that we have the support of an Inner Elder behind us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are many ways to deal with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he’s outside the sect, we can kill him directly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if he doesn’t leave the sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The sect rules prohibit killing, but there’s nothing against a spar, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A legitimate Array Platform duel, halt all his tasks, make his life in the sect as miserable as hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For us, it will be easy as pie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, the rest is up to the Divine Power Group, I’m off.” Hua Yangping left with the members of the Law Enforcement Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Kong, however, instructed the members of the Divine Power Group to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going to utterly ruin Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>",1394,"2026-06-06T00:46:40.739Z",1,"novelbin.me","ceb826125a0c83de113d5abd88a82ead75d4b044d19b26a029b3731c2a0b8cf3","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-24","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-22",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
