Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 53: Who Did the Killing?

In their eyes, Lin Xuan was certainly dead. It was impossible for him to still be alive. These people all laughed, taking pleasure in his misfortune.

Feng Qingxue, however, was utterly despairing. Lin Xuan had saved her before, and she’d grown fond of him. She never expected him to die here. She was heartbroken, but no matter what, she had to go and search for him.

Just as she was preparing to go find Lin Xuan, a figure came speeding from afar. When the person arrived nearby, he stopped and said with a smile, "Qingxue, where are you going?"

Hearing this voice, Feng Qingxue paused and suddenly raised her head. The next moment, her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Lin Xuan, you’re back?"

"Lin Xuan is back? What?" Up ahead, Sun Hao and Zhao Feiyan were resting. Upon hearing this, they shook their heads and sneered. How could Lin Xuan possibly come back? That guy is already dead. Is Feng Qingxue hallucinating?

Thinking this, Sun Hao sneered and glanced back.

But that one glance left him frozen on the spot. The next moment, he leaped up from the ground. "Lin Xuan, how can you still be alive?"

He was truly stunned.

Zhao Feiyan also looked back, and her expression changed drastically as well. The other senior and new disciples were also frozen in place, feeling as if they had just seen a ghost.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" Wu Ming’s voice even trembled as he spoke.

"What, you’re not happy that I’m alive?" Lin Xuan glanced at them and sneered. He then turned to Feng Qingxue and said, "You’re not hurt, are you?"

"I’m fine." Feng Qingxue shook her head, wiped away a tear, and asked, "But what about you? Where did you go? You had me worried to death."

"Me? I went to kill some Demon Sect geniuses," Lin Xuan chuckled.

"Bragging again." Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but smile through her tears, thinking Lin Xuan was just trying to cheer her up.

Behind them, Zhao Feiyan and Sun Hao didn’t believe it either. You went to kill a Demon Sect genius? In your dreams. Who do you think you are? As if you could kill a three-star genius. They refused to believe it, but Lin Xuan’s survival was certainly a shock.

Sun Hao gritted his teeth. Damn it! Couldn’t even that kill the little brat?

Zhao Feiyan’s expression was also grim. "He was probably just lucky," she said. "Didn’t Brother Shen Xiaoyao arrive earlier? He swung his blade and killed a lot of Demon Beasts. Lin Xuan was probably saved then. He must have found a place to hide afterward, which is how he survived."

The other senior disciples nodded, feeling that this was a reasonable explanation.

Zhao Feiyan sighed. She had originally planned to use another’s hand to kill him, but she hadn’t expected him to be so lucky as to survive. It looks like I’ll just have to wait for another chance in the future!

Sun Hao thought the same.

Wu Ming, however, sneered. So what if he’s alive? He must have hidden away, so he definitely didn’t get any points. Meanwhile, I earned a ton of points this time. I’ll definitely be able to exchange them for some great treasures when I get back. Once I break through to the Martial General realm, defeating Lin Xuan will be as easy as flipping my hand.

As he was thinking, a few more figures flew over from the distance. These were third-year disciples. They had been pursuing Demon Sect geniuses earlier, but after chasing them into the forest, the geniuses had vanished without a trace, forcing them to return empty-handed.

Returning to the vicinity of the Spirit Vein, they began to take a headcount and ask the second-year disciples and new students about the situation and the number of casualties. A few of the third-year disciples approached Zhao Feiyan’s group to inquire.

Zhao Feiyan said, "We’ve all sustained some injuries, but no disciples have died."

The senior disciple leading them nodded. "Then you’re quite lucky. Other groups have had disciples die. By the way, do you know anything about Wei Wuya’s situation?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Zhao Feiyan asked, "You mean the Demon Sect genius? What happened to him?"

The senior disciple explained, "Earlier, it was this Wei Wuya who was controlling the Demon Beasts and driving them into a frenzy. But later, the beasts calmed down. It’s clear something happened to Wei Wuya. We think he might have been killed. We wanted to ask if any of you knew what happened."

A Demon Sect genius was really killed? Zhao Feiyan and Sun Hao were utterly shocked to hear this. Feng Qingxue was also full of surprise.

Then, a memory surfaced in their minds: a figure sweeping across the battlefield with a Battle Blade. They said, "Earlier, Brother Shen Xiaoyao came and went to hunt down Wei Wuya. Perhaps Brother Shen killed him."

"Shen Xiaoyao?" The senior disciple nodded upon hearing the name. He certainly has the power to kill a Demon Sect genius. It looks like Shen Xiaoyao is quite lucky this time; he’ll be able to get a Celestial Spirit Fruit.

The few senior disciples turned and left. The others began to buzz with discussion.

"Brother Shen is so impressive! He really killed a Demon Sect genius!"

"Of course! Brother Shen is a top prodigy."

"Brother Shen will probably get a Celestial Spirit Fruit for this."

"With that Celestial Spirit Fruit, Brother Shen’s power will become even stronger."

As the crowd discussed, their voices were filled with envy for Brother Shen.

Lin Xuan sneered inwardly when he heard this. Shen Xiaoyao killed Wei Wuya? It was clearly me who killed him. That Shen Xiaoyao is still unconscious in the forest right now.

But he just shook his head and didn’t offer an explanation. What he needed to do now was return to Heavenly Dao Academy as quickly as possible, turn in his mission, and exchange his points for the Celestial Spirit Fruit.

After half a day, once Feng Qingxue was well-rested, Lin Xuan said, "Let’s head back."

Feng Qingxue nodded, got up, and they departed. The other disciples also began to gradually leave the Dragon Concealment Spiritual Vein and return to Heavenly Dao Academy. On the way back, everyone was in high spirits, excitedly discussing what treasures they would exchange for next. After all, they had all earned a significant amount of points this time.

Feng Qingxue was also pondering what to exchange for, and she asked Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan replied, "I don’t need anything else. I just need to go to the Enlightenment Cliff."

「Meanwhile, in the forest.」

Shen Xiaoyao opened his eyes.

Where am I? What happened to me? Ugh, my head hurts.

Shen Xiaoyao was dazed for a moment before he jolted awake, sitting up and looking around warily. He remembered now—he had been fighting Wei Wuya but had fainted after being poisoned.

What happened after that? Am I not dead?

He found no one around and sighed in relief. After checking his condition, he found that his body was extremely weak, but his life wasn’t in danger.

Strange... this is really strange. Did Wei Wuya not kill me? Shen Xiaoyao was extremely puzzled; he’d thought he was a goner. Did other third-year disciples arrive? Did Wei Wuya have to fight other geniuses, leaving him no chance to kill me?

Shen Xiaoyao thought for a moment and concluded that must have been what happened. Looks like my luck isn’t too bad.

He stood up to leave, but after taking only a few steps, he noticed a large amount of bloodstains on the ground. It looked like someone had been injured, or perhaps even killed.

Whose is it? It definitely wasn’t Wei Wuya’s.

Thinking about it, Shen Xiaoyao recalled that a freshman had come here just before he fainted—a freshman who didn’t know his own limits and had tried to kill Wei Wuya.

He was probably killed by Wei Wuya in return. This blood must be from that freshman. Sigh, that freshman was truly foolish.

Shen Xiaoyao shook his head with a sigh and turned to leave.
