第两千六百三十三章 乌大少爷

The voice was utterly unfamiliar. With a cultivator's unforgettive prowess, Lin Xuan could be certain that he had never heard it before. In other words, the owner of this voice was someone he did not recognize.

Who on earth was making such a ruckus?

Lin Xuan was still in shock, his expression bewildered. The silver-eyed maiden beside him looked equally embarrassed.

The two exchanged glances, and eventually, it was the Dragon-named youth who spoke up: "Cough, younger brother, don't take offense. Big Master Wu's identity is no small matter; he happens to have a stubborn and arrogant nature..."

"Big Master Wu?"

Lin Xuan frowned, confirming that this name was one he had never heard before. He then smiled. "Brother, if you say so, it must be someone of considerable background. What exactly happened?"

Seeing Lin Xuan's calm demeanor, both the silver-eyed maiden and the Dragon-named youth breathed a sigh of relief. They feared that Lin Xuan, whose strength far surpassed his peers, would take offense at such an insult, leading to an irreparable situation.

After all, Big Master Wu not only had formidable power himself but also came from the sole lineage of Fire Spirit Immortal in the secular world. Fire Spirit Immortal was a major figure among the Tribulation Transcenders, and his status could not be compared to that of the Heaven-Extinguishing Monstrous Beast. The Cloud Hidden Sect naturally could not afford to offend him.

To say that Big Master Wu had no grudge against Lin Xuan would be a lie; they had never met in their lives. However, as the saying goes, money brings trouble, and so does fame.

A hundred years ago, during the battle in Star Moon City, Lin Xuan defeated the Heaven-Extinguishing Monstrous Beast, earning him the title of the top Tribulation Transcender in Nael Dragon Realm. His reputation was well-deserved, bringing countless benefits to his sect, such as its current development.

However, with great fame came great risks. Ordinary Spirit Formation stage cultivators merely envied Lin Xuan's name and did not dare to provoke him. But this did not mean that Big Master Wu would be intimidated either.

Over a hundred years ago, during the battle between Lin Xuan and the Heaven-Extinguishing Monstrous Beast, Big Master Wu was in seclusion, striving for Spirit Formation late stage. When he emerged from his seclusion, the entire cultivation world buzzed with talk about it. Lin Xuan's reputation was so well-known that it echoed like thunder.

But Big Master Wu was not pleased.

Behind him stood Fire Spirit Immortal, and although this young master had a bit of an air of superiority, his innate talent was undeniable. He worked hard at cultivation, earning praise from even Fire Spirit Immortal himself.

Originally, he was someone who looked down on others. His initial plan was to challenge the Heaven-Extinguishing Monstrous Beast after breaking through to late stage Spirit Formation.

The title of top Tribulation Transcender in this realm had long been coveted by him.

However, fate intervened at a critical moment when Lin Xuan defeated the Heaven-Extinguishing Monstrous Beast and gained widespread fame. This arrogance and domineering young master could not easily swallow his pride.

Now that the Heaven-Extinguishing Monstrous Beast was defeated, his new target naturally became Lin Xuan. Thus, this fellow decided to come straight to the Cloud Hidden Sect's main base to challenge Lin Xuan. However, at that time, Lin Xuan had already left for Ice Sea Realm.

Initially, Big Master Wu did not believe it, thinking that Lin Xuan was too afraid of him and hiding like a timid turtle. He even tried to forcibly enter, which would have been highly disrespectful to the Cloud Hidden Sect.

Although aware of his unapproachable status, the silver-eyed maiden had no choice but to intervene. Both were at late stage Spirit Formation, on par in cultivation level. However, Big Master Wu's family background was rich, and although he had a bit of an arrogant nature, his abilities were not to be underestimated. The silver-eyed maiden quickly fell behind, after which Big Master Wu entered the main base of the Cloud Hidden Sect, searching for Lin Xuan.

But by then, Lin Xuan had already left; how could he find him?

Fortunately, this person was not inherently violent and did not indiscriminately kill anyone despite his harsh words.

However, the matter was far from over. This fellow was a stickler for principles and would come to the Cloud Hidden Sect regularly to seek out Lin Xuan.

It was impossible to stop him. While the sect could deal with a lone cultivator if they activated their protective array and set up numerous traps and prohibitions, it was not worth risking the wrath of Fire Spirit Immortal.

Moreover, Big Master Wu's nature was not inherently bad; although he had caused much trouble for the Cloud Hidden Sect, at least he did not randomly kill any sect members when he could not find Lin Xuan.

Thus, the silver-eyed maiden issued a decree: if Big Master Wu came to their sect again, there would be no need to block him.

"Ah, I see."

After hearing both of them explain, Lin Xuan finally understood the whole story. He looked thoughtful for a moment before saying, "Regardless, since this young master has come looking for us, we can only go and meet him."

Lin Xuan knew that his return was witnessed by thousands of eyes, so denying it or avoiding it would be meaningless. Besides, he had no intention of doing so.

"Alright, but when Big Master Wu proposes a duel..." the Dragon-named youth said with some concern.

Such a cultivator like Lin Xuan was undoubtedly arrogant. A casual disagreement might lead to a friendly sparring match, but what if Lin Xuan's actions caused trouble for their sect...

He did not want to suffer the same fate as his success and failure. The wrath of Fire Spirit Immortal was something the Cloud Hidden Sect could not bear.

"Brother, rest assured; I have it under control," Lin Xuan said with a smile.

With that, he emitted a green glow and flew out from the hall.

The Dragon-named youth and silver-eyed maiden exchanged glances before following closely behind.

Lin Xuan's speed was incredible, and soon enough, a figure came into view.
