Chapter 1415: The Shadow of Death Spreads

The slap was heavy and full of power, setting off a whistling roar.

If Lin Xun were a mortal, then he would have been seriously injured or killed.

But he was not.

Bang!

The slap landed, not on its intended target, but on the very guard executing it with a much more terrifying force than it had at the beginning.

The guards head was shattered into pieces by his own hand!

The scene was bloody and hair-raising. There was nothing more bizarre than seeing someone slapping himself to death.

The other guards were stupefied. They gawked in utter disbelief, wondering if they were hallucinating.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was already walking toward the grand gate.

Stop! A guard drew his saber and angrily slashed out.

This was an instinctive reaction.

Pff!

The saber suddenly went backward and stabbed into the throat of its owner. Blood spurted out in a stream.

The gruesome scene caused the other guards to quiver in fear. Their faces all twisted like they had seen ghosts.

At this moment, Lin Xun had already stepped through the gate of the Wang Familys residence.

He had never once looked back.

The guards were elite soldiers of the Wang Family. Upon realizing that the situation wasnt right, they immediately wanted to shout and alert others.

But when they opened their mouths, a buzz echoed in their minds, as if they were struck by lightning.

The next second, the entrance of the Wang Familys mansion was full of corpses laying all over the ground. Their eyes were wide open, but their breathing had stopped. Although their bodies were still intact, their spirits had all turned into dust.

From beginning to end, Lin Xun had not once raised his hands nor looked back.

Even though watching from a distance, the baffling scene of death made Xiaocaos scalp tingle, and her soul almost flew off.

She had seen battles between cultivators before, but not once had she seen such a bizarre way of killing people.

Lin Xun was like a god of death from hell. Wherever he passed, the shadow of death spread, leaving no survivor!

It was too horrifying!

Impossible He wouldnt walk out alive A disoriented Xiaocao was acting out of complete instinct as she stumbled toward the Wang Familys mansion.

Today, the Wang Familys residence was filled with high-profile guests, looking extremely lively with lights and colorful decorations everywhere.

Agile servants and maids shuttled through the crowd, offering the guests their most punctilious service.

Elite guards were stationed throughout the mansion. There was a guard in every five steps and one sentry in every ten steps for tight control and to avoid any possibility of accidents.

Who are you? Who let you in?

The moment an unfamiliar face walked in, it immediately drew wary gazes.

Unfortunately, before they could even do anything, they fell to the ground, paralyzed, and died without a sound.

If one were to look from a bird eyes view, then they would see the Wang Clans escorts and guards along Lin Xuns path fall one after another like reaped grass.

No one had been able to utter a sound of warning!

Following Lin Xuns trail, all Xiaocao saw was a cold and silent path littered with dead bodies.

Her heart tightened, her lips turned pale, and her mind trembled in shock. She found it unbelievable. She couldnt bring herself to believe this.

How could this be?

No blood, no screams, no collisions. How could so many soundlessly die?

Was this still the monstrous Wang Clan that she knew as the number one power in Yujing City?

Before long, a boisterous noise could be heard from the distance.

Only then did Xiaocao realize that she had arrived at the central area of importance of the Wang Family, standing not far away from the Welcome Hall for receiving guests.

It was brightly lit and full with the unceasing sound of chatter and laughter.

Obviously, the bigwigs in the welcoming hall had yet to notice that the god of death was approaching them!

A chill ran through every single one of Xiaocaos bones.

The Wang Family was full of experts and protected by a strict defensive force, but Lin Xun walked all over it like he was in no mans land!

This was simply unimaginable and utterly horrifying!

Welcome Hall.

Wang Tianxing, the head of the Wang Family, was sitting on the seat of honor with a reserved smile on his ruddy face.

The hall was packed with noble guests. All the big names in Yujing City had gathered here today, and every face was wearing a humble or even slightly flattering smile.

This pleased him.

Over ten years ago, his Wang Clan had only been a mediocre force in the city. When facing the big shots, he had had to keep his tail between his legs and fawningly smile while listening to them talk.

But everything was different now!

His clan could blot out the sky of this city with one hand!

The turning point had been when his daughter had gotten married to a good son-in-law.

Thinking of this, Wang Tianxing glanced at a handsome young man who wore a satin gown with a four-clawed dragon belt around his waist and a feathered crown on his head.

Huangfu Shao Yu!

He was the core disciple of Qingyun Sect. Thanks to his stunning and unrivaled aptitude for cultivation, he had been tacitly appointed the next sect leader!

It could be said Huangfu Shao Yu was the reason why the Wang Clan had the power and status they had today.

In a few more years, when Shao Yu takes charge of Qingyun Sect, my clan can start planning for territory expansion

Wang Tianxings heart was on fire at the thought. Dominating Yujing City alone could no longer satisfy his ambitions!

Clan Leader, news has just come in that a bloody incident happened at a restaurant and quite a few juniors of various forces were killed. A steward hurriedly arrived and reported through voice transmission, Some people suspect the culprit to be the Lin Family because only their juniors werent harmed at that party.

Wang Tianxing frowned. The Lin Clan? Havent they long since declined beyond recognition? How are they still capable of such a thing?

The steward also looked puzzled as he transmitted his voice, I wonder this as well, so I sent people to investigate this as soon as I received the news. However, only one thing has been determined.

Which is?

Around the time of the incident, someone clearly saw Lin Xun, the youngest son who was expelled from the Lin Clan, outside the building.

And you suspect that the murderer was that fool? Wang Tianxing snorted like he heard the stupidest joke ever. Keep investigating this. Todays gathering is of great importance, so dont let this matter spoil everyones joy.

The steward nodded and excused himself.

Wang Tianxing fell into a deep thought, wondering who would dare to kill all the noble playboys in the city while sparing only the children of the Lin Clan.

Dont tell me its really someone related to the Lin Clan?

Subconsciously, he ignored the possibility that it could be Lin Xun, because how could such a frail idiot be capable of something like this?

Meanwhile, Huangfu Shao Yu was talking to his beautiful wife next to him.

How did it go?

What? Wang Ziluan was stunned.

You forgot? Huangfu Shao Yu frowned.

Wang Ziluan thought briefly before realizing what he was talking about. She couldnt help but laugh, You neednt worry about such a small matter. As long as nothing unexpected happens, that fool will never appear ever again.

Huangfu Shao Yu seemed a little upset. I just received a report that something shocking just happened half an hour ago in the city. The playboy group were killed, and someone saw that fool right outside the restaurant.

Impossible! Wang Ziluans expression changed. You dont think that those playboys were killed by that fool, do you? Im very clear that he has never set foot on the path of cultivation at all.

Huangfu Shao Yu frowned, But hes still alive, and he even appeared in the city, unlike what you just said.

Huangfu Shao Yus dissatisfaction flustered Wang Ziluan. She immediately summoned her personal maid and asked, Has that lowly servant Xiaocao returned?

The maid shook her head. No, maam.

Wang Ziluan was startled. A long time has passed, but she hasnt come back? There has really been an accident?

Shao Yu, wait a moment, I will personally go and check. Wang Ziluan got up and hurriedly left.

She gritted her teeth. Xiaocao, you waste of space! Asking for my trust when you failed to do such a small thing? Keep dreaming!

Furiously walking out of the hall, she almost bumped into an oncoming figure.

Are you blind? Get out of my way! shouted Wang Ziluan.

When she raised her head, she saw a young man dressed in a thin, white garment blocking her path. He seemed to have no intention of stepping aside at all, which made her even more irritated.

Wang Ziluan? said the young man indifferently, as if wanting to confirm it.

After all, he had only met the other party once, and it had already been over ten years ago. Back then, Wang Ziluan was only a girl around thirteen or fourteen years of age.

Who are you? How dare you call me by my name? Guards! Are they all dead, letting a stranger appear here?!

Wang Ziluans willow brows shot up in fury. As Huangfu Shao Yus wife, she had been living a pampered life and was respected and flattered wherever she went.

No one dared to call her by her name like this!

The white-clothed youth looked calm as he watched the beautiful woman in front of him throwing a tantrum. Had he not seen it with his own eyes, then he would not have dared to believe that this was the young girl who had come to him and haughtily broken off their engagement.

Although her appearance had changed tremendously, her arrogant temper seemed to have intensified after all these years.

Xiaocao appeared behind them and said through quivering lips, Madam, heheis Lin Xun.

What Lin Xun complained Wang Ziluan. Then, her eyes abruptly widened. You said hehe is Lin Xun?!

Obviously, after over a decade of not seeing Lin Xun, the change in his appearance caused her to fail to recognize him as well.

She subconsciously blurted out, Why is this fool here? Xiaocao, you lowly servant, you brought him here?! Didnt I say I never wanted to see him again?!

As Wang Ziluan was beside herself with rage, her voice grew high-pitched and shrill at the end.

This disturbed the lively Welcome Hall behind her. Instantly, many gazes were directed to the entrance.
