"Your Excellency Bo Xuan is too kind, Lin Xuan is just more sensitive to aura and happened to know the great name of the Darkness Ancestor Symbol!"
Lin Xuan cupped his fist in salute to Bo Xuan, the Hall Master of the Darkness Hall who had taken the initiative to show himself, and then nodded slightly towards Lin Qingtan standing behind Bo Xuan.
Chen Kui, on the opposite side, couldn't help but twitch his face when he heard Lin Xuan's words 'just' and 'happened'.
Chen Kui knew that his master had just activated the power of the Darkness Ancestor Symbol to conceal his figure. It should be known that among the eight Ancestor Symbols, the Darkness Ancestor Symbol can be said to be second to none in concealing one's figure, comparable to the Space Ancestor Symbol.
Not to mention, the person who activated it was his master, Hall Master Bo Xuan of the Darkness Hall, a top powerhouse who shook the Tianxuan Continent, a Revolving Wheel Realm mighty figure who had touched the Reincarnation, and a master of the Ancestor Symbol.
With such strength, to say nothing else, none of the eight super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region could match it.
Such a top powerhouse, such a divine object, could not conceal his figure in front of Lin Xuan. Could this be explained by a simple 'happened'?
Bo Xuan ignored Chen Kui, who was doubting his life. Compared to his unpromising disciple, he was more interested in this true peerless genius in front of him.
Even his newly found, perfect treasure disciple felt somewhat dull in comparison to this peerless Divine Sword in front of him.
"Haha, you know, before you, no one has ever happened to sense my existence just because they happened to know the name of the Darkness Ancestor Symbol."
Bo Xuan said with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation. His eyes, which were not very big but very bright, kept sizing Lin Xuan up and down. The more Bo Xuan looked, the more he liked him.
"If Your Excellency Bo Xuan hadn't used the power of the Ancestor Symbol to conceal Qingtan's aura as well, Lin Xuan might not have been able to detect Your Excellency Bo Xuan's existence."
Looking at Lin Xuan's serious face, the smile on Bo Xuan's face grew even stronger. Although it was the first time he had met Lin Xuan, Bo Xuan already had some understanding of what Lin Xuan said.
This 'might not be able to detect' means, conversely, that it is still possible to detect it? Coupled with this little guy's modesty, he probably has a certain degree of confidence in his heart that he can detect his existence even without knowing about the Darkness Ancestor Symbol.
However, just as Bo Xuan was about to speak, the next moment, his old eyes suddenly narrowed, and his sharp gaze instantly locked onto Lin Xuan. A vast aura, like an endless ocean, locked down the entire space.
"Buzz!"
The moment that vast aura descended, an astonishing Sword Intent instantly rose from Lin Xuan's body. Although it could not resist the terrifying aura, it was like a reef, standing firm despite the waves crashing against it.
"Master!"
At this moment, Lin Qingtan, who was standing behind Bo Xuan, reached out and tugged at Bo Xuan's sleeve. Only then did Bo Xuan react and quickly withdraw his aura, while also releasing the blockade of this space.
Turning his head to look at Lin Qingtan, whose face was a little pale, Bo Xuan didn't have the mind to coax his precious disciple at the moment, and instructed Chen Kui.
"Chen Kui, take care of your little junior sister."
After saying that, Bo Xuan locked his gaze on Lin Xuan and said softly.
"Chat?"
"It is Lin Xuan's honor to be invited by Your Excellency Bo Xuan!"
Lin Xuan said, glanced at Chen Kui and Lin Qingtan, nodded, and followed behind Bo Xuan to a mountain top.
After the two sat down facing each other, Bo Xuan raised his hand, and a special dark force completely sealed off the surrounding space, before he solemnly asked Lin Xuan.
"Have you ever seen an Otherworldly Demon?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan unhurriedly took out a pot of wine and two wine cups from his Universe Bag, poured wine for Bo Xuan and himself, and responded softly.
"I have seen them. That Otherworldly Demon claimed to be from the Demon Prison Nine Kings Hall."
Bo Xuan, who had just taken the wine cup and took a sip, spat out the wine in his mouth instantly after hearing Lin Xuan's words.
"Poof! Cough cough!!"
After coughing lightly a few times, Bo Xuan wiped away the wine stains and looked at Lin Xuan, who was still calmly pouring wine for himself across from him. He couldn't help but admire the other party's calm and composed nature.
The Nine Kings Hall of the Demon Prison, such a ruthless character, even if he encountered them himself, although he wouldn't be terrified, he definitely couldn't be as calm as Lin Xuan, as if nothing had happened.
"I wonder, could you tell me more about it?"
After taking a deep breath and calming his mind, Bo Xuan softly asked Lin Xuan, and as he spoke, he picked up his wine glass again.
After taking a sip and putting down the wine glass, Lin Xuan still had a calm expression, but he spoke words that were shocking.
"In an Ancient Sect's ruins, I fought with an avatar of the Nine Kings Hall. Lin Xuan was fortunate enough to win by a sword, and sealed it back again."
"Poof!! Cough cough cough cough!!"
Bo Xuan felt like his tears were about to choke him, but his eyes, filled with tears, were still fixed on the calm-faced young man in front of him, who didn't have a trace of pride.
Lin Xuan moved the back of his hand away from the mouth of the wine pot, and under Bo Xuan's gaze, he continued to narrate in a calm tone.
"It's just a pity that Lin Xuan's skills are not good enough, and his strength is insufficient. Although the seal has been reinforced again, it is difficult to last for a long time. I'm afraid it will be eroded again in a few years."
Bo Xuan's mouth twitched. This guy kept saying that his skills were not good enough, his strength was insufficient, and it was difficult to last for a long time, but Bo Xuan dared to guarantee that the seal arranged by this guy was definitely done with great effort.
"Cough cough, could you tell me more about it? When the time comes, I will personally investigate it."
After all, it was the Nine Kings Hall of the Demon Prison, such a ruthless character. Bo Xuan still needed to make a trip himself to be at ease. Although he believed in Lin Xuan, there was a saying that it was better to be safe than sorry. If the news was leaked and the people from the Demon Prison found out, and rescued the Nine Kings Hall, it would be a big trouble.
"The last time the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet of the Ancient Great Desolate Sect ruins was opened, the Devouring Ancestor Symbol was taken away, causing the sealing formation to lose its formation eye, giving the Nine Kings Hall a chance to breathe. Therefore, when it was opened this time, the Nine Kings Hall happened to recover, intending to spread the demonic energy out of the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet."
Lin Xuan briefly explained the cause of the matter. There was nothing to say about the specific process. While speaking, Lin Xuan reached out and handed over a special talisman seal.
"Your Excellency Bo Xuan, go to the Great Desolate Province and investigate the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet, and you will know. This is the talisman seal for entering and exiting the great formation."
The accidental intrusion of the old man in the linen robe made Lin Xuan specially modify the sealing formation of the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet when he reinforced the seal later. Except for the opening every three years, if you want to enter the Ancient Tablet, you either have to know how to open the sealing formation, or you can only forcibly break through the great formation.
Although Lin Xuan was not good at the way of sword formations, if you want to forcibly break through the great formation, even a powerhouse in the Life and Death Profound Realm would need to spend some time to do it.
Facing the Nine Kings Hall of the Demon Prison, Lin Xuan was extremely serious. Sometimes, the more polite you are, the more you value it.
Looking at the mysterious sword talisman in Lin Xuan's hand, Bo Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked up at Lin Xuan, then put down the empty wine pot and took the sword talisman.
"To be honest, if I didn't have a bit of conscience and couldn't bear to delay your future, I would have to take you back to my Darkness Hall today."
After examining the sword talisman for a while, Bo Xuan shook his head and sighed. He liked Lin Xuan's talent more and more, especially his character, which was very much to his liking.
It's just a pity that Lin Xuan's path is different from the cultivation inherited by their Darkness Hall. Otherwise, even if they had to start a war with the Eastern Xuan Region, Bo Xuan would have to bring this person back.
"Lin Xuan's aptitude is mediocre, not worth your Excellency's attention. Compared to Lin Xuan, your two disciples are even more amazingly talented, especially Lin Qingtan. If Lin Xuan didn't sense it wrong, she should have the extremely rare Fiend Devil Body."
Lin Xuan leisurely took a sip. He had to say that wine was indeed an interesting thing, especially with the right people, it could make the heart feel at peace.
Hearing Lin Xuan's praise, although he knew it was out of politeness, Bo Xuan still smiled very happily. If he didn't consider Lin Xuan in front of him, Lin Qingtan was the most perfect treasure disciple in his eyes.
"Although Chen Kui's talent is a bit lacking, Qing Tan's talent is indeed excellent, haha, at least, inheriting my mantle is not a problem."
Not far away, Chen Kui, who was brought by Bo Xuan's voice transmission with Lin Qingtan, looked at Lin Xuan and his master sitting together and drinking on the top of the mountain, and a complex emotion surged up.
Before today, Chen Kui actually sneered at the so-called Sword Saint. Although Lin Xuan was the Young Clan Leader of the younger sister's family clan, Chen Kui was also a core disciple of the Darkness Hall, the only overlord in the Northern Xuan Region, so he naturally had a very high sense of pride in his heart.
Merely defeating Ling Qingzhu, who hadn't even reached the Nirvana Realm at the time, would at most earn Chen Kui's attention, indicating potential and a future opportunity to become a core disciple of one of the Eastern Xuan Region's eight super sects.
However, upon their first meeting, Chen Kui directly overturned his previous assessment, filled with admiration for Lin Xuan. Among their peers, Lin Xuan was undoubtedly someone they, who prided themselves as the favored children of heaven, could hardly hope to match.
Yet, in just a short while, his previous assessment was overturned once more.
Chen Kui understood his master, Bo Xuan, very well. He knew that his master was an extremely proud person at heart. Ordinary people, even the leaders of the eight super sects, might not necessarily catch his eye.
But now, Bo Xuan, who usually didn't enjoy alcohol, was willing to sit and drink with Lin Xuan, indicating that Bo Xuan didn't treat Lin Xuan as a junior at all, but rather regarded him as someone of equal standing.
Therefore, in just two brief encounters, he, Chen Kui, had directly fallen behind a peer he had previously looked down upon, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.
What made Chen Kui even more sour was his master's words to Lin Xuan, which he couldn't refute. Compared to Lin Xuan and Lin Qingtan, his talent seemed only barely passable.
"Master, Sword Saint!"
Fortunately, Chen Kui had a clear understanding of himself, so he didn't feel much. He cupped his fist and addressed Bo Xuan and Lin Xuan.
Lin Qingtan, on the other hand, wasn't so reserved. She ran directly to Bo Xuan's side, obediently picked up the wine pot, filled Bo Xuan's and Lin Xuan's cups, and then blinked her eyes as she asked Lin Xuan.
"Young Clan Leader, do you know how Lin Dong is doing now?"
"Lin Dong? He's doing well. He just got married a couple of days ago. Lin Xuan came here today to deliver the wedding invitation."
As Lin Xuan spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a bright red wedding invitation from his Universe Bag, preparing to hand it to Lin Qingtan, but he saw Lin Qingtan's face turn pale instantly.
Her hand holding the wine pot trembled slightly. On her pale face, she tried to force a smile, but couldn't manage it. Bo Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Alright, girl, that's enough practice for today. Go back and rest well. Coincidentally, I need to go out today as well."
As Bo Xuan spoke, he winked at Chen Kui. Chen Kui immediately took Lin Qingtan away, and also took the wedding invitation that Lin Xuan handed over.
Watching Chen Kui and Lin Qingtan's departing figures, Bo Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh softly.
"Alas, this girl, I've long seen that her feelings for Lin Dong are somewhat different, but I didn't expect it to have reached this point."
Bo Xuan had been here for some time and naturally understood the Lin Family's situation quite well. As an experienced old man, how could he not see Lin Qingtan's special feelings for Lin Dong?
This girl's eyes were different every time she mentioned Lin Dong. She was usually very obedient, but as long as it was related to that Lin Dong, she would become stubborn. Several times, Bo Xuan was so angry that he wanted to go to Yuan Gate to pick a fight.
Looking at Lin Qingtan's dispirited figure, Lin Xuan subconsciously drained the wine in his cup, poured another cup, and said in a low voice, as if questioning himself.
"I seem to have made a mistake."
Bo Xuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, turning his head to look at Lin Xuan, who seemed to be talking nonsense, with a strange expression. He only heard Lin Xuan shake his head again and say.
"I thought that marriage is a major event in life, and they should regret being absent, but I didn't expect it to add to the sadness of others."
Looking down at the clear spiritual wine in the clear wine glass, Lin Xuan said with emotion.
"Swords and wine are still more interesting. Feelings and women are too complicated."
"Hahaha!!"
Bo Xuan burst out laughing when he heard this, and his eyes towards Lin Xuan became even more fond. He raised his wine glass and quickly said.
"I think so too, come, let's have a drink!"
After finishing a pot of wine, Bo Xuan set off directly to the Great Desolate Province. He would go today and return tomorrow, just in time to continue teaching his disciples tomorrow. As for Lin Xuan, he stayed in Flame City for one night and told the Lin Family about it, because he felt that Lin Qingtan might not have time to say it now.
