CHAPTER 565: CHAPTER 564: THE HEAVENLY MASTER ORDER DESCENDS

Lin Xiaosu stood on the balcony, his long sword nowhere to be seen. In his hand, he still held a teacup. Facing the renowned Master of Luanyun, his expression did not change in the slightest.

Beside him, Feng Ji’s face had already changed.

Her fingers rested on her waist.

At her waist was her sword.

"Lin Xiaosu, storming my Luanyun Heaven and injuring my beloved son-in-law, aren’t you going too far?" Chi Lian said in a deep voice.

Lin Xiaosu responded calmly, "Sect Master Chi, you seem very calm right now, so I don’t mind conversing peacefully. You should know that it’s not me intentionally destroying your son-in-law, but your son-in-law who first tried to kill me. In the Jianghu, one responds to a killing attempt with a counter-kill. This is an eternal truth. I did not decapitate him with a sword; I only crippled his cultivation, out of respect for you."

The words were absolutely composed and dignified.

This was his typical attitude when facing giants of the Enlightenment Realm.

Chi Lian’s pupils contracted, "I really want to know, what kind of support do you have that makes you dare to be reckless in front of me?"

Lin Xiaosu smiled...

He actually smiled!

Chi Lian’s pupils constricted, locking tightly onto him. Everyone in the tavern, even the fearless Feng Ji, felt as if they were locked in by a giant poisonous dragon, making it hard to breathe.

However, Lin Xiaosu’s smile was unexpectedly relaxed and peaceful. "Sect Master Chi, I imagine that Master Zheng and Master Yin Jiuyou are also pondering what reliance I, Lin Xiaosu, have that allows me to be reckless before giants of the Enlightenment Realm."

In the northwest of the city, a person showed a change of expression—it was Yin Jiuyou.

In the southeast of the city, another person’s expression changed—it was Zheng Tianyan.

Yes, both great Enlightenment Realm figures had entered Luanyun Heaven.

Even though Lin Xiaosu hadn’t noticed them, wasn’t this remark just their derision?

Usually, hearing such mockery, the giants of the Enlightenment Realm would strike out without delay, intending to kill him.

But the current situation was not normal.

As he spoke rashly, the giants of the Enlightenment Realm didn’t dare to appear, at least in Zheng Tianyan and Yin Jiuyou’s eyes. Letting Chi Lian confront his super trump card was far superior to appearing themselves.

Chi Lian said sternly, "I have no need to ponder! I will directly shatter all your bones, so my son-in-law can have a good mood for healing!"

As his voice fell, he struck out with one palm.

This palm, vast and obscuring the sun!

With a swish, Feng Ji’s long sword was unsheathed...

On the long sword, a Qinghua flower swayed dramatically because she panicked!

The concept of a super trump card, which she had pondered the most along the way, indeed had great deterrence against Enlightenment Realm giants plotting within Kun Cang. He calculated accurately that all giants hoped others would stand out and test, rather than testing personally.

However, Chi Lian was different.

He had a reckless character.

With his kin killed and Luanyun Heaven’s top forces decreased, he was already angry enough. Today, Lin Xiaosu came to Luanyun Heaven and crippled his son-in-law, and his stubborn temper flared, wanting to kill Lin Xiaosu on the spot.

This reckless style truly is the enemy of the empty city strategy.

Junior brother, do you... do you really have a trump card?

If not, both of us are probably going to be killed by your damn empty city strategy.

Even if you do, it might not be enough to kill Chi Lian.

Even if it really could kill him, if the trump card is used once, what then?

No matter how optimistic she might be, she knew the current situation was already a deadly trap.

Suddenly, a wisp of light smoke swept across the sky.

Silently, another person appeared beside Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji.

A young woman!

She raised her hand, a Black Wood Token facing the descending giant True Essence Palm.

The strong wind roared, her hair blew fiercely backward as if she was bearing a thousand-pound pressure, but her voice rang out clearly, "Sect Master Chi, my master asks you to stop!"

Whoosh!

The giant True Essence Palm abruptly halted.

The swirling gusts made the tavern seem like a small boat on tumultuous waves, swinging back and forth.

Chi Lian’s pupils contracted, focusing on the token in her hand.

In Lin Xiaosu’s eyes, an unusual ripple like a wave spread out. He also focused on the woman’s half-side face, his heartbeat quickening for a moment.

Dawa!

She appeared!

Just when he was about to launch a deadly strike, she appeared...

"Heavenly Master... what do you mean?" Chi Lian said in a deep voice.

Heavenly Master!

Feng Ji’s heart skipped a beat, gaze landing on this token. This token, made of black wood and ancient in appearance, had a coffin carved on it.

Is this the Heavenly Master Order?

Is this the other great power—Heavenly Master, in the legends of Luanyun Heaven?

Dawa bowed deeply, "My master does not wish to be enemies with the sect master, but this young gentleman and my master have unresolved ties and need to meet and discuss!"

Chi Lian’s face clouded with uncertainty, "I had promised those days, with three Heavenly Master Orders, I would carry out three tasks for him. Today’s matter counts as the second!"

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Dawa raised her hand, tossing the Heavenly Master Order to Chi Lian.

Chi Lian raised his hand, the Heavenly Master Order shattered into powder.

With one step, he strode out of the city.

With the second step, he ascended the mountain.

The third step, his figure transformed, dissipating the True Essence Transformation, vanished without a trace.

The people in the city glanced at each other...

In the southeast tavern, an old man let out a long sigh, "To actually use the Heavenly Master Order, is this mysterious Heavenly Master his backing?"

"Uncle Master, what is the Heavenly Master Order?" a young person beside him asked.

The old man replied, "It is said this Heavenly Master helped Luanyun Heaven a lot, so, the two sect masters of Luanyun Heaven gave him three Heavenly Master Orders, also equivalent to promising him three tasks. As long as the Heavenly Master Order is presented, no matter how incredible the matter is, both sect masters must unconditionally agree."

"Then... doesn’t the Heavenly Master Order hold more weight than the Sect Leader Token?"

"Indeed, this boy actually made the Heavenly Master willing to forsake a Heavenly Master Order. What kind of relationship does he have with the Heavenly Master?"

Above the restaurant, Dawa finally faced Lin Xiaosu: "Come with me!"

"Alright!"

With a swoosh, Dawa jumped off the restaurant, the wind stirred around, and Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji also jumped at the same time. The three figures flickered and set off in the direction of the Two Realms Mountain.

The Two Realms Mountain is actually the headquarters of Luanyun Heaven.

Feng Ji felt deeply uneasy, a voice transmitted into the depths of Lin Xiaosu’s ear: "Do we really have to enter the Luanyun Mountain Gate? I think it might be better to leave now, maybe..."

"Senior sister, don’t be too optimistic! Chi Lian is watching us, perhaps more than one giant of the Enlightenment Realm is watching us too. If we run now, it would appear we lack confidence, even those who are hesitant to make a move wouldn’t hesitate anymore." Lin Xiaosu replied with a secret transmission: "We should still enter the Luanyun Mountain Gate, and meet this mysterious Heavenly Master."

Feng Ji’s heart was pounding.

Going there was like delivering herself directly into Chi Lian’s palm.

However, with her experience in Jianghu, she had to admit Lin Xiaosu was right.

He was likely playing an empty fort strategy.

The biggest fear of the one bluffing is losing their cool.

If he was scared by Chi Lian and fled the opportunity.

Then whether it was Chi Lian or other Enlightenment Realm observers, they would see through his facade. Those hesitant to act would dare to strike.

In that case, they would die without suspense.

Even if he did have some sort of trump card, it wouldn’t handle so many of the Enlightenment Realm...

Besides, whether he even had a trump card was still uncertain.

They could only follow through to the end.

Hopefully, this mysterious Heavenly Master would be a turning point in fate.

This conversation was conducted via secret transmission.

Dawa did not speak.

She was businesslike the entire time.

Her movement technique was swift, like Qing Yan.

A movement technique that hadn’t been shown on Miyan Road that day.

Judging by this meeting, there was a noticeable difference from the Dawa of that day.

However, in the domain of tigers and wolves, in such a special scenario, the real side couldn’t be seen.

Until they bypassed the mountain gate with ’Luanyun Heaven’ written on it and took a small mountain path to the side, the Dawa of old seemed to make a slight return.

At least, occasionally gazing at Lin Xiaosu, her eyes always held that bashful shyness. Oh, and today she also seemed a bit delighted.

Ahead was a peak.

At the halfway point of the peak, a row of small houses.

In the shape of an arching moon.

Small houses with courtyards, several disciples.

Seeing Dawa bringing in two people, these faces showed some surprise.

"Dawa, who are they?" an elder came around the corner of the eaves.

Dawa said: "Old friends from the outside world, wanting to stay here for a few days. Uncle Ding, is it okay?"

"You’ve already agreed to it, what can I say?" Uncle Ding sighed lightly: "Keep quiet! Don’t go out unless necessary."

"Alright! Thank you, Uncle Ding!" Dawa said.

Then, she led Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji to push open the door of a small room.

Once the door was closed, Lin Xiaosu suddenly felt the surroundings become incredibly silent.

He lifted his gaze, staring at several green stone tiles on the courtyard wall.

These green stone tiles, under his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, clearly stirred up ripples in the air.

This kind of air ripple couldn’t be touched by hand, but it had a soundproofing effect, it wasn’t an array path, yet it surpassed an array path.

This Heavenly Master had some unique skills.

That was Lin Xiaosu’s reflection.

Feng Ji’s feelings were more complex.

Because once Dawa was here, faced with this person in charge’s inquiries, she merely said, "Old friends are here to stay for a few days," without mentioning the "Heavenly Master Order."

Outside, she openly flaunted the Heavenly Master Order, telling Chi Lian "my master invites."

Back here, it was a different story.

Could it be that "the Heavenly Master has ordered" was actually a lie? Could it be that this little girl was actually trying to save him?

What kind of relationship did they have?

Dawa finally raised her head in front of Lin Xiaosu, on her cheeks were two small blushes, her eyes were full of joy: "Brother, I really didn’t expect you would come."

Brother...

Feng Ji’s heart fluttered wildly.

Having lived in Li City for a while, she deliberately sought out some knowledge about marriage and love from the outside world. She knew outsiders were quite complex. For example, the name for one’s husband varied. Most Han people called them husband, while many minority people called them brother.

This girl reportedly belonged to a minority, and now she blurted out "brother"...

My heavens, could it be that she’s his little wife from the outside?

Lin Xiaosu’s behavior was also highly suspicious: "Dawa, my purpose in coming to Luanyun Heaven this time was mainly to find you."

"Ah? Really?" Dawa’s cheeks were red, two small blush clouds almost floated away.

"Mm, really!"

"What do you want with me?"

As soon as Dawa spoke, Feng Ji suddenly felt a bit redundant, am I the legendary third wheel?

However, Lin Xiaosu’s response was unexpectedly proper: "You told me last time that you were worried about bringing disaster to your family and didn’t dare to go home. Now I want to tell you that you should try going home and see for yourself."

Dawa was slightly startled: "Why does brother think... I... I can go home now?"

Saying this, her heartbeat quickened.

Could it be that Brother went to her hometown?

Could it be that Brother saw through her lie that day?
