Chapter 587 - 585: Step Forward If You Disagree!

Lin Xuan’s question stunned the two Core Disciples for a moment. They glanced at each other, wondering if they had just run into an idiot, or perhaps a Cultivator who had recently joined from the outside.

’This is Qingcheng Mansion’s domain. Anyone who dares to speak ill of Qingcheng Mansion can get the hell out!’

"Sigh, that young man seems capable, but I can’t believe he’s so reckless. This is Qingcheng Mansion’s domain..."

"He provoked two Core Disciples. He’s a dead man for sure. The last person who did this ended up..."

"We’ve been sick of this for a long time, but..."

"Hush! If they hear you, you’re just asking to die!"

...

The surrounding bystanders sighed. They were deeply unhappy with Qingcheng Mansion, but what could they do besides complain? They were all weak, and the weak have no say.

Such complaints were usually reserved for spoiled young masters, but now they were being directed at Qingcheng Mansion itself. It was a true sign of society’s decline.

"Kid, are you stupid? This is Qingcheng Mansion’s territory," Zhang Qing Pill sneered. "If you really want to join, you’d better do exactly as we say. Otherwise, forget joining—you won’t even make it through the gates!"

"Why waste your breath on him? It’s a complete waste of time. I’ll go teach him a lesson he won’t forget!" Without another word, Li Yong unleashed the aura of his Essence Pill Stage and charged at Lin Xuan.

Because Lin Xuan had his Cultivation suppressed, they assumed his power wasn’t high—at most, he was at the Spirit Refining Stage. Thus, they paid him no mind.

"Die!"

Li Yong’s face twisted with ferocity as he threw a punch at Lin Xuan. To the onlookers, the fist was as fast as lightning, but in Lin Xuan’s eyes, it was as slow as a snail.

BAM!

Lin Xuan caught the punch with ease, not moving an inch. Then, with a sudden jerk, he yanked Li Yong downward and slammed him hard onto the ground. At the same time, he squeezed. CRACK! Li Yong’s fist was crushed.

"AAAAAH!" Li Yong shrieked in agony as a horrific, piercing pain shot through him. He tried to struggle, but was pinned firmly to the ground by a foot, unable to move an inch.

"Decent strength, decent talent, but your character is abysmal!" Lin Xuan snorted. ’I was ruthless, but just crushing his fist is getting off easy. How could I not teach them a lesson they’ll never forget?’

’If it were anyone else, that punch would have been a death sentence. That being the case, why shouldn’t I be ruthless?’

"You... who the hell are you? How dare you cause trouble here!" Zhang Qing Pill was stunned. His Cultivation was on par with Li Yong’s. ’If Li Yong could be defeated that easily,’ he thought, ’the same would happen to me.’

BANG!

Suddenly, a flare shot out from his hand and exploded in the sky. It was the distress signal for Core Disciples! It would quickly attract any nearby Law Enforcers, including the closest Elders.

"You’re dead meat. Even if you’re a dragon, you’ll have to coil up on our turf!" Zhang Qing Pill sneered, looking at Lin Xuan as if he were already a corpse.

A clamor rose from the surrounding crowd. While they were shocked by Lin Xuan’s strength, they lamented that his future was now ruined. When you offended someone from Qingcheng Mansion, being in the right was useless.

"Is that so? Then I’d like to see you try and make me," Lin Xuan replied with a cold smile, completely unafraid.

’This time,’ he thought, ’I need to clean out the trash in Qingcheng Mansion. They get this arrogant with just a little power. If they ever went out into the real world, they wouldn’t even know what killed them.’

"What’s going on?"

Just then, a group of Law Enforcers rushed over. All of them were at the Essence Pill Stage Level, and their leader was at the Spirit Pill Stage Level. Their expressions changed the moment they saw Lin Xuan with his foot on a Core Disciple.

"Zhao Enforcer! He blocked our path for no reason, preventing us from returning to the Core Hall! He injured Li Yong and crushed his fist—he’s seriously wounded! Quick, rescue him and teach this brat a lesson!" Zhang Qing Pill shouted, pointing angrily at Lin Xuan.

"Oh, I blocked you for no reason?" Lin Xuan sneered. "You were rampaging through here on horseback, injuring innocent people. I stopped you to prevent you from causing more harm, and you claim I did it for no reason? It seems you have no remorse at all!" ’These people are beyond saving.’

"This is not for you to manage. Let him go and cripple both of your hands, and I will allow you to leave," Zhao Enforcer said, his gaze turning cold. He unleashed his Spirit Pill Stage aura, directing it toward Lin Xuan. ’If a Core Disciple is harmed on my watch, I won’t be able to escape responsibility when it’s investigated.’

"I can’t believe that in the time I’ve been away, Qingcheng Mansion has become this corrupt..." Lin Xuan shook his head, truly disappointed. Qingcheng Mansion had always been decent before, or at least not so tyrannical. Now, they were completely arrogant and looked down on everyone.

"You dare speak ill of Qingcheng Mansion? You’re courting death!" Zhao Enforcer snorted. He stomped the ground and lunged at Lin Xuan, swinging his palm. A fierce palm strike swept forward, blanketing the entire area.

It was undoubtedly a killing blow, one that left no room for survival.

Lin Xuan’s gaze turned cold. Releasing the man under his foot, he flew up to meet the attack. His fist transformed into a streak of red light that shot forward, effortlessly shattering the fierce palm strike. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Zhao Enforcer. A red light glinted in his eyes. His opponent froze, stunned; he had never imagined Lin Xuan’s strength would be so terrifying.

"Get lost!"

Lin Xuan threw a heavy punch. BOOM! Zhao Enforcer was sent flying backward. He traveled a great distance before crashing hard onto the ground, where he rolled over several times, coughing up blood without end.

Seriously injured! With a single punch, Lin Xuan had grievously wounded Zhao Enforcer. He had nearly been blown to pieces, and that was with Lin Xuan holding back.

Everyone stared, stunned by the scene. This young man, who looked to be in his early twenties at most, had overwhelmed a Law Enforcer with a single punch. It was utterly unbelievable.

Zhang Qing Pill was dumbfounded. He had felt completely secure when Zhao Enforcer arrived, certain that Lin Xuan was a dead man. Who would have thought that instead of Lin Xuan, it would be a proper Law Enforcer who was now left half-dead?

The crowd gasped. This young man was truly ruthless, showing no regard for Qingcheng Mansion whatsoever. Did he intend to make an enemy of the entire organization?

"Does anyone else object? If so, step forward now!" Lin Xuan snorted, his voice booming throughout the Imperial Capital. "I have judged them guilty of recklessly harming the innocent. Anyone who dares say I’m wrong, come out and face me!" He didn’t care in the slightest if the nearby Elders heard him.
