Chapter 1020: Killing Intent Reappears!
"Disperse, I'll take Mr. Lin for a tour, we'll be back soon."
Murong Qian said coldly, then turned to Lin Xuan and spoke softly, "Mr. Lin, this way please."
Everyone felt a bit dizzy watching this. Murong Qian's attitude towards Lin Xuan and others was completely opposite. If there was nothing fishy going on, no one would believe it, no matter what.
However, Murong Qian was, after all, a person from Red Moon City. Now that they were in Red Moon City, they dared not spread any rumors.
The disciples of Red Moon City were even shaking their heads, knowing Murong Qian's notorious reputation too well to say anything.
So, everyone dispersed, suppressing their curiosity within.
Next, Lin Xuan wandered around several mountain peaks, this time not only with Murong Qian but also with many martial artists nearby.
Suddenly, the snow-white little fox lightly tugged on Lin Xuan's hair, starting to gesture "woo-gee woo-gee."
"You say someone is following us?" Seeing the gestures of the snow-white little monkey, Lin Xuan frowned.
"Can you find him?" Lin Xuan asked.
Woo xi woo xi
The snow-white little monkey turned, with its black gem-like eyes scanning all directions. But the next moment, it scratched its head with its little snow-white paw, looking confused.
Woo gee woo gee
The little white monkey started gesturing again.
This time, Lin Xuan found it somewhat dizzying.
"Ah, let this emperor translate for you." The Dark Red Divine Dragon at the side couldn't stand it anymore.
"The little guy means that person disappeared, it can't find him now."
"Disappeared? Can't find him?" Lin Xuan's frown deepened.
Woo xi woo xi
The snow-white little monkey nodded, starting to gesture again.
The Dark Red Divine Dragon continued explaining, "It said that person often hides among the crowd, appearing with different faces, always within a distance of thirty feet or so."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan's expression turned extremely grim.
Because with his outstanding soul power, he didn't detect any abnormalities from the other party, didn't even feel any danger; this was a very bad signal for him.
One must know, his soul power was very formidable, even comparable to a fifth or sixth-level Venerate expert, yet even so, he couldn't sense the other party, which made one realize how terrifying the other party was.
The Dark Red Divine Dragon also frowned, "That person might not be as powerful as you think, otherwise he would just suppress you with his strength. Probably, he hasn't grasped a sure victory over you."
"However, his concealment skills are quite impressive, even I didn't notice for a moment."
"Fortunately, the little guy was able to detect the anomaly, otherwise the consequences might be unimaginable."
"Zero, can you detect the anomaly?" Lin Xuan had no other option but to inquire about the Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod within him.
"Indeed, there's someone tracking you; he's a very ordinary man, ordinary enough that when you see him, you wouldn't notice. That person is likely a highly professional assassin."
"Fortunately, the little monkey beside you has much spirituality, surprisingly able to detect the anomaly."
Zero's voice was ice-cold.
"Can you help me point out who it is?"
Lin Xuan asked in a deep voice, the current situation was very unfavorable to him because he had no idea where the danger was hiding.
"Not for the moment, because I have just woken up, not as powerful as you imagine. But when that person comes within ten feet of you, I can alert you."
"Ten feet, that's enough."
Though for people of their level, ten feet was merely a blink away, it was better than having no warning.
With Zero's warning, Lin Xuan felt a bit relieved, but his face was still grim.
"Kid, judging from the looks of the opponent, it seems to be an assassin. Could it be related to those who attempted to assassinate you before?" the Dark Red Divine Dragon chimed in from the side.
"It's possible."
Lin Xuan furrowed his brows, indeed, not long ago, he was besieged by two assassins, and those assassins' concealment skills were extremely formidable, even he almost fell for it back then.
And now, another more formidable assassin appeared, following them, making it impossible not to connect the two matters.
Who on earth was so determined to go to great lengths to kill him?
Moreover, to his horror, this assassin even followed him to Red Moon City. If he was assassinated here, it would be a shocking event.
This time, he was representing the Immortal Martial Academy, and if he died at the Murong Family, it would probably cause great turmoil at the Immortal Martial Academy.
"Humph! You better not let me catch you!" Lin Xuan's expression was ice-cold.
"Let's go, leave this place."
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, speaking to Murong Qian ahead.
"Okay."
Murong Qian was also relieved, she felt immense pressure following Lin Xuan.
"Let's head to the Red Moon Palace, I think the banquet is about to start."
Murong Qian thought for a moment, then said.
"Sure, you lead the way." Lin Xuan nodded, assuming the Red Moon Palace must host many martial artists and elders, so surely the assassin wouldn't dare to act there.
Admittedly, the strength of the Murong Family's elder was formidable indeed, countless powerful individuals attended this banquet.
Lin Xuan saw many Fifth-layered Heaven Venerables, and even Sixth-layered Heaven experts.
The aura of these people was so overwhelming, with their qi-blood like the Heaven and Earth Furnace, exuding powerful vitality, bearing a terrifying aura with every move.
Obviously, these people should also be elders of some powerful factions.
Even some experts before whom Shen Yulong and Liu Lie had to respectfully greet, which spoke volumes about their terrifying power.
All those experts were invited into the grand hall, seated on the dais, while the likes of Shen Yulong and Liu Lie, the younger generation, could only sit afar.
The entire grand hall was imposing and bustling with excitement.
And when everyone saw Lin Xuan with the leading Murong Qian, they froze for a moment.
Because Murong Qian was wearing the attire of elite disciples from Red Moon City, not ordinary disciples, and such people could never work as guides.
But now, Murong Qian was actually guiding a young man, and her attitude was very respectful, which puzzled many people.
Liu Lie, Shen Yulong, and others were filled with surprise seeing these scenes, while Murong Qingshu's face turned stern.
Earlier, he heard reports from his subordinates about this matter; originally, he thought it was just a rumor, but seeing it now made him look extremely unpleased.
Facing so many gazes, Murong Qian finally couldn't bear it, ignoring Lin Xuan, quickly walking towards the front to stand beside Murong Qingshu.
"Hey, you're finally here."
At this moment, a gentle and melodic voice came, followed by a breathtakingly beautiful figure approaching Lin Xuan from afar.
Seeing this figure, everyone froze, staring intently, even their breaths becoming slightly intense.
This breathtakingly beautiful figure was naturally Murong Qingcheng, descending like a fairy from heaven, unrivaled in beauty, untouched by mortal smoke.
