Chapter 292

But since she could use the token to obtain information,

she naturally didn't want to waste any more time gathering news on the Xuanming Sect herself.

In other words,

she could hardly wait any longer!!

"Please! Please, this way upstairs!"

At the sight of the token,

the Shopkeeper, who had been somewhat careless a moment ago, instantly changed his expression.

Although he quickly returned to normal,

his tone and demeanor inevitably became respectful.

After speaking,

he quickly stepped out from behind the counter.

Gesturing with one hand, he began leading the way ahead.

Putting away the token,

Lu Linxuan said nothing and quietly followed behind him.

Before long,

the two of them arrived at the third floor, one behind the other.

Once they entered the room and closed the door,

the Shopkeeper bowed respectfully and said,

"Wang Qian, head of the Yuzhou City branch under the Third Hall of the Qinglong Society in the Great Tang, greets my lord."

"No need for such ceremony."

Though somewhat unused to this,

Lu Linxuan still forced herself to keep her composure and waved a hand.

Then, shifting the topic, she asked,

"Do you have information on the Xuanming Sect's branch in Yuzhou City?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Your subordinate will fetch it right away."

Shopkeeper Wang replied without hesitation.

Saying so,

he scurried off.

Shortly after,

he hurried back.

In his hands, he carried a thin 'ledger.'

"All the information on the Xuanming Sect's branch in Yuzhou City is recorded here."

"Address, member profiles, cultivation levels, their interpersonal relationships, background information—everything is included."

"Please, my lord, have a look."

After explaining,

Shopkeeper Wang presented the 'ledger.'

"Thank you."

Clutching the 'ledger' tightly,

Lu Linxuan spoke her thanks.

"My lord is too kind."

"Might I ask if there is anything else your subordinate can do for you?"

Shopkeeper Wang smiled, his tone full of humility.

"Just have the kitchen prepare some food and bring it over."

"If I need anything else, I'll call for you."

Lu Linxuan thought for a moment, then shook her head.

She did not choose to go take her revenge immediately.

After all,

she had rushed here without a moment's rest.

Weary from the journey, both she and her mount were exhausted.

To go seek revenge in such a state—

if she let the enemy escape, there'd be nowhere left to cry.

"Yes, your subordinate will arrange it at once."

Shopkeeper Wang acknowledged and respectfully withdrew.

As the door closed behind him,

Lu Linxuan stretched her limbs.

She walked over to a nearby table and sat down.

Picking up the 'ledger' in her hands, she slowly began to flip through it.

Carefully studying the detailed information on the Xuanming Sect's branch in Yuzhou City.

A moment later,

she had just finished reading the materials.

A knock came at the door.

It was Shopkeeper Wang who personally brought up the food.

She ate and drank her fill.

Lu Linxuan sat cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, cultivating to restore her condition.

Time slipped by swiftly...

Before she realized it.

The sunset sank, the bright moon hung high.

The once noisy city of Yuzhou

gradually grew quiet.

Meanwhile,

in the third-floor chamber,

Lu Linxuan, who had just been tightly shut-eyed,

suddenly opened her eyes.

In an instant,

two shards of cold light flashed through her pupils.

She rolled off the bed.

Snatched up the treasure sword lying beside her.

Lu Linxuan's expression grew steadily colder.

The killing intent all over her body intensified at this moment.

"Twelve years!"

"Father, I'm coming to avenge you!!"

She tightened her grip on the treasure sword.

Lu Linxuan forced out her words, syllable by syllable, through clenched teeth.

Immediately after,

she arrived beside the window.

She pushed open the window at random.

Her entire figure vanished swiftly into the night.

At the same moment,

Yuzhou City, Xuanming Sect branch headquarters.
