There seemed to be no one on the quiet and deserted street, but spies from various ns had long been hiding across the street, paying close attention to the situation.
From the day that Lin Xun returned to the Forbidden City to him storming the coteral branches of the Lin n alone and fearlessly tearing the faces of the Zuo and the Qin ns, the Forbidden City had erupted withmotion countless times.
The storm continued to rage, keeping every major n on tenterhooks. Everyone was paying close attention to what was going to happen to Lin Xun and when he was going to stop.
Additionally, everyone was interested in what sort of counterattacks would the Zuo and Qin nunch in response to the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin n’s provocation and challenge.
Now that the situation had reached such a state, they were close to receiving an answer.
This was because today, the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin n had reimed all the properties that originally belonged to the Lin n. Like a whirlwind, they swept back everything that belonged to them from the hands of the Zuo and Qin ns.
Now, only the Auspicious Sun Treasure Pavilion remained to be seized back.
If the Lin n captured the remaining property, then the prestige of the Zuo n and the Qin n would suffer a severe blow.
However, would that happen?
Definitely not!
The Zuo and Qin ns, as part of the seven high ns in the Forbidden City, would never allow such a shameful loss to happen.
If they wanted to strike back and wash away the humiliation, then they would do everything to stop Lin Xun from taking the Auspicious Sun Treasure Pavilion!
“The Zuo and Qin ns are so calm. They hadn’t made any movements sincest night. It’s as though theypletely dismissed Lin Xun’s provocation.”
Secretly, spies from different ns exchanged their opinions.
“Perhaps they are just conserving their strength. Once they make a move, it will be a fatal one!”
Many people shared the same thought.
After all, they were the high ns. They wielded mighty powers. They held a powerful status in the empire. No one would believe they would tolerate such provocations.
“The Lin n is too crazy. Even if they desperately want revenge, what makes them think they are strong enough to challenge the high ns now?”
“Lin Xun is the crazy one. He just solved the internal strife of the Lin nst night, but before the n has fully integrated, he is already challenging the Zuo and Qin ns. Only someone as fearless and arrogant as Lin Xun would dare to do that.”
Lin Xun was known for his courage and boldness in the Forbidden City, but no one could imagine why he dared to do such a thing.
Some ns even gave Lin Xun the title of Lin the Brave!
The way that Lin Xun behaved was indeed too fearless and brazen. Everything that he had done made their jaws drop with disbelief.
When the Lin n directly challenged the Zuo and Qin n, the title Lin the Brave was bing known by more and more people.
He was indeed too brave!
He could be described as crazy. No one would object to him being called Lin the Crazy.
After all, never had something so outrageous had ever happened in the thousands of years of the empire. The Lin n wasn’t even regarded as an aristocratic family yet. Despite that, under the leadership of a fearless young man, it challenged the high ns. Only a lunatic would do something so crazy.
Not only that, but he also challenged more than one high n, horrifying everyone!
“Does he want to die?”
“Lin the Brave will no doubt be badly beaten this time and might even cause the Lin n to be struck off from the empire! Once the high ns unleash their powers, how can one Lin n be able to withstand it?”
“What a pity! If Lin the Brave gets rid of his ruthless and tyrannical habit, then he could make earthshaking achievements in the future based on his title as a young rune founder. Unfortunately, he has to suffer for his arrogance and fearlessness.”
Voices rang throughout the city, many not sounding too optimistic about Lin Xun’s situation.
All eyes in the city were gathered on the Auspicious Sun Treasure Pavilion, paying close attention to every move there.
They all knew that a storm was about to break out there. Regardless of who won or lost, the entire Forbidden City, and even the entire empire, would be shaken.
“He’s here!”
“Hey, Lin the Brave hase in person! Is he going to put all his eggs in one basket?”
“There is going to be a good show!”
Secretly, countless eyes shifted to the end of the quiet and empty street.
……
“It seems that this ce isn’t as deserted as it appears.” The moment Lin Xun set foot onto the street, he detected spies hiding in many dark corners with his tremendous spirit-sensing powers.
“Don’t worry about them. They are just some little mice sent by the various ns,” Zhao Tai sounded unconcerned.
“Why do I have a feeling that a storm ising...” Lin Huaiyuan sensed an indescribable urgency and oppressive aura.
Lin Xun smiled withoutmenting.
The moment he went against the Zuo n and the Qin n, he had already expected to face such a situation, so he didn’t feel the slightest bit nervous or worried.
It was unknown what Zhao Tai sensed, but he shot a re at Lin Xun. “It seems like I can’t escape the task of cleaning up after your mess today...”
“Elder, able men always do more work.” Lin Xun grinned.
The three calmly strolled along the deserted street, surprising the many spies who were secretly observing everything.
“Zhao Tai? The owner of Sky Martial Arena? He is said to be a member of the imperial family. Could Lin Xun want his help to reupy the Auspicious Sun Treasure Pavilion in a gentler way?” a spy spected.
They knew very little about Zhao Tai. Other than that he was the boss of the Sky Martial Arena and a part of the imperial family, they didn’t know anything else.
"It seems that Lin the Brave has also realized that the situation isn’t good, so he doesn’t dare to push on.”
Some spies sighed in disappointment. They thought that Lin Xun would act tough until the end. Who would have imagined that he would bring in help?
“Hmph! Who is Zhao Tai? No one can save them when the higher-ups of the Zuo and Qin ne, unless it is a noble person!”
More spies sneered. They were more and more certain that Lin Xun could no longer withstand the pressure of the two high ns.
As they discussed and spected, their gazes never shifted from the battlefield, lest they miss any details.
They all knew that the unprecedented storm sweeping through the Forbidden City would finally erupt in full at the Auspicious Sun Treasure Pavilion!
“Young Master, why did youe?” Lin Zhong, Third Old Zhu and Xiaoke were all surprised to see Lin Xune in person.
“I came to take a look,” Lin Xun indifferently responded before he turned his eyes to the main hall of the Auspicious Sun Treasure Pavilion and saw Qin Ziming and Zhao Yunzhi sitting inside.
“Lin Xun?” At the same time, Qin Ziming and Zhao Yunzhi also noticed Lin Xun.
They were taken aback at first, but immediately after that, their eyes zed with excitement. The kid actually came to die!
Zhao Yunzhi was the first to speak. “Are you Lin Xun? You have guts. Do you think that the Forbidden City is just a yground for you to do whatever you want?”
She had a graceful demeanor, but when she raised her chin as she spoke, she oozed arrogance. “No one dealt with you in the past because they didn’t want to fuss about insignificant people like you. But since you provoked the imperial family and the high ns, you will have to face the consequences and die!”
A smile of confidence and superiority spread across Zhao Yunzhi’s face. The Zuo and Qin ns had already dispatched their forces. Furthermore, her father, Prince Yunyong, would alsoe as promised.
“I thought it would be a remarkable and important character, but it turned out to be someone like the Marquis of Rising Sky and Princess Linghuang.” Lin Xun smiled calmly.
He turned to Zhao Tai, asking curiously, “Elder, by the way, what kind of role does this woman have in the imperial family? Why do I feel that she is inferior to even the Marquis of Rising Sky and Princess Linghuang?”
“Your intuition is correct.” Zhao Tai nodded.
Lin Xun’s smile widened.
His words, coupled with his mocking smile, felt like a knife stabbing into Zhao Yunzhi''s heart. She flew into a rage, unable to remain calm anymore.
“You…you…have a sharp tongue. Do you not want to live anymore?!” she exasperatedly snapped.
“Just you wait, soon you will cry and beg for mercy!” she screamed in fury.
Qin Ziming frowned and stepped forward to speak, “Lin Xun, you might not understand your current situation yet. Your Lin n haspletely infuriated the Qin and Zuo ns with what you have done. They have already dispatched forces here to deal with you. How can you still act so arrogant at such a time?” The threat seemed too brusque and direct.
However, the spies hiding in the shadows perked up. Their guesses were correct. The Zuo and Qin ns indeed nned tounch a thunderous blow at Lin Xun here!
Lin Zhong and Lin Huaiyuan trembled inwardly. The situation was more serious than they had thought.
Only Lin Xun remained incredibly calm, or rather, he never wavered from the beginning. “If that’s the case, it’s even better. I have long wanted to experience the abilities of the Zuo and Qin ns.”
So arrogant!
Everyone, including Qin Ziming, Zhao Yunzhi and the spies in the shadows, had the same thought. Lin Xun was as arrogant and wild as rumored!
He dared to say that he wants to take a look at the abilities of the Zuo and Qin ns!
He has a death wish!
As though Lin Xun didn’t notice their change of expression, he continued, “But, before that, on behalf of the Lin n, I will take back what originally belonged to us!”
Before his voice faded, Zhao Yunzhi couldn’t stand it anymore. She shrieked, “How dare you! When did the Auspicious Sun Treasure Pavilion be your Lin n’s? I dare you to try taking it!”
“It’s about to begin!”
The spies opened their eyes wide, palpitating with excitement. The show was about to kick off!
