The Ninth Young Master clapped his hands happily: "Rest assured, once this task is completed, I certainly won't treat you poorly."

"Thank you, Ninth Young Master!" A group of martial artists rejoiced.

They had no choice, although they were Shen Family disciples, their status greatly differed from that of the Ninth Young Master.

If they could help the Ninth Young Master fulfill this crucial mission, their family standing would significantly rise after returning.

Thinking of this, many felt a surge of excitement.

The middle-aged man who had spoken earlier also employed a secret technique, and instantly, a series of crackling sounds emerged from within him.

Under the amazed gazes of everyone, the middle-aged man transformed into the likeness of Lin Xuan.

His height and appearance were exactly the same.

Upon close inspection, it was impossible to tell the true from the false.

The Ninth Young Master clapped again in approval, then reminded once more.

"The lad is a swordsman, you must pay attention to this point."

"Also, his cultivation is not high, so you also have to conceal part of your cultivation, but when you strike, you must demonstrate the strength of Seventh Layer Heaven."

"Don't worry, Young Master, the task will be accomplished."

Soon after, the fake Lin Xuan let out a sly smile, quickly used his movement technique, and dashed toward the distance.

In front of a palace, several elders were swiftly striking a defensive light curtain.

Behind them were many martial artists, among them, a stunning woman in a purple long dress.

Unexpectedly, Cold Light Iron was discovered here, truly a delightful surprise.

This woman was naturally Murong Qingcheng, and at this moment, she smiled as she gazed at the metal blocks within the light curtain.

Beside her, the silver-haired old woman chuckled, indeed, Cold Light Iron is an excellent material for artifact refining, and it has already vanished in the outside world, yet unexpectedly found here.

And judging by the looks, the amount is considerable.

Those several pieces inside, if refined, could at least produce three half Earth-grade treasures.

This would be a massive wealth for any family.

In the front, the elders were exhaustively attacking the light curtain, these elders were strong, joining forces to make the curtain tremble.

The curtain didn't last long, soon emitting a cracking sound, and finally shattered like glass.

"Great! The seal is broken!"

The disciples of the Murong Family cheered, and Murong Qingcheng also smiled.

Yet at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared, quick as lightning, rushing towards those pieces of Cold Light Iron.

"What person?"

"Courting death!"

The elders at the front were furious, unable to believe someone dared to take their Murong Family's belongings.

Suddenly, many people hurried to attack.

However, that silhouette was quite strange, unexpectedly evading all attacks, swiftly seizing two pieces of Cold Light Iron.

On the ground were four pieces in total, now half were taken, this directly agitated the Murong Family members.

"Damn, leave it behind!"

An elder shouted angrily, unleashing a terrifying giant hand, covering a section of the sky.

The surrounding martial artists also moved quickly, forming an encirclement to block that person.

The sky-covering giant hand mercilessly descended, like countless giant mountains, rumbling in the sky.

At the critical moment, that person snorted coldly, then an astounding sword light shone forth.

The dazzling sword qi fiercely cut down on the sky-covering giant hand.

Instantly, the elder was forced back several steps, while the silhouette also manifested from the void.

"What? It's you!"

Everyone around froze upon seeing the silhouette.

Even Murong Qingcheng was stunned for a moment.

"Lin Xuan, why are you here?"

Murong Qingcheng was very surprised, not expecting Lin Xuan to act against their Murong Family.

Yet that Lin Xuan chuckled lightly, wherever there are treasures, I naturally appear.

After speaking, he swiftly stored the two pieces of Cold Light Iron into a storage ring.

Seeing this scene, those Murong Family martial artists were enraged.

"Boy, though you've helped our Murong Family, it's impossible to snatch our belongings!"

"If you need these things, you just need to say a word to our family, we'd give you a piece, but your current behavior is indeed chilling."

"Hmph, do I need to ask you for what I want?"

That Lin Xuan coldly snorted: "For Murong Qingcheng's sake, I won't kill you, quickly leave, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Presumptuous!"

"Alright, alright, I must see for myself, what skills do you have to dare go against our Murong Family!"

A group of elders were furious, while Murong Qingcheng furrowed her brows.

She quickly stepped forward, stopping those elders, then turned to Lin Xuan: "Do you have any difficulties, tell me, and I can help you."

"Difficulties, what difficulties."

"My Lonely Star Sword needs to increase its rank, this Cold Light Iron is useful to me, if you want to help, give me those remaining two pieces as well."

"Miss, don't be deceived by this boy, he's clearly a greedy fellow."

"Indeed, initially thought he was a good person, now it seems not a good thing at all!"

The group looked at Lin Xuan, their eyes burning with anger.

Yet Murong Qingcheng furrowed her brows tighter, because in her impression, Lin Xuan was not like this.

She even suspected that this Lin Xuan was fake, yet couldn't find a flaw, except for the difference in personality.

"Miss, don't waste words with him, capture that boy!"

Several elders roared, and quickly attacked Lin Xuan.

But Lin Xuan sneered coldly, used his movement technique, and then countless sword lights slashed out, forcibly breaking a path.

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

Everyone watched that escaping silhouette, infuriated.

Yet Murong Qingcheng furrowed her brows tightly, she absolutely didn't believe that was Lin Xuan.

Although she didn't believe it, others were deeply convinced, and those people held a grudge against Lin Xuan.

This made Murong Qingcheng's face very unpleasant, as she keenly sensed that someone seemed to be trying to destabilize her relationship with Lin Xuan.

However, she had no evidence at the moment, so couldn't persuade others.

It seemed that she could only wait to catch that person next time, then reveal him in public, so everyone would believe.

According to Murong Qingcheng's guess, if someone wanted to ruin her relationship with Lin Xuan, it wouldn't just be a one-time act, meaning that person would return.

Indeed, not long after, when they found another treasure spot, that Lin Xuan came again.

This time, Murong Qingcheng also personally acted, but the opponent still managed to escape because he didn't engage her, relying on movement techniques to quickly dodge.

Of course, this time he also snatched quite a few good things.

This drove the Murong Family people even more furious.

When that Lin Xuan stole from the Murong Family a third time, the Murong Family members utterly exploded, vowing to capture that boy.

This matter wasn't concealed at all, and soon spread throughout the Azure Pine Hall.
