Chapter 540: Chapter 540: To Deal with You, No Need for the Divine Sword!

Everyone was speechless. They had never seen someone so arrogant.

They wanted to see who this person was, so audacious and unaware of their own limits. When they all looked toward Lin Xuan, they were stunned.

"It’s that Young Emperor!"

"So it’s him."

"I knew it. No one else would dare to be so arrogant."

"I heard this kid can fight across seven cultivation realms. Could he have defeated Wu Chen?"

"Impossible. Wu Chen isn’t just any ordinary Seven-Star Grandmaster."

"He’s a mid-stage Seven-Star Grandmaster! Plus, the Wu Family is a top-tier family, so Wu Chen must possess powerful treasures. His true strength definitely surpasses that of a mid-stage Seven-Star cultivator."

"No matter how strong Lin Xuan is, he couldn’t have beaten Wu Chen."

"Exactly. If this were on the Ye Family’s territory, this Lin Xuan could use their Ancient Tower to suppress everything. He’d be invincible. But here in this Ancient Relic, he can’t use the Ancient Tower. Without that tower, what gives him the right to be so arrogant?"

"If you ask me, the kid’s ego has just gotten the better of him. He’s too ignorant of his own limits."

"He really thinks he’s invincible, daring to order Wu Chen around!"

"Just watch. Wu Chen will definitely fly into a rage and crush this guy!"

"For sure. Haven’t you seen? Even Huo Yuner, a late-stage Seven-Star Grandmaster, only allies with Wu Chen and wouldn’t dare order him around. What makes Lin Xuan think he can command Wu Chen? It’s ridiculous."

"Wu Chen will never agree to it."

A cold smile played on Huo Yuner’s lips. So this is the legendary Young Emperor? He’s truly overestimating himself! Wu Chen doesn’t even give me face, so why would he ever give any to Lin Xuan?

But in the very next moment, Wu Chen respectfully responded, "As you command!"

What?

Huo Yuner’s eyes went wide. Wu Chen actually agreed! How was that possible?

Those watching from a distance were also stunned. Their minds went blank, each of them feeling as if they had been struck by lightning.

Heavens, what were they seeing? He agreed! Wu Chen had actually agreed!

"Damn, I’m not dreaming, am I?"

"Am I hallucinating?"

"Wu Chen actually obeyed Lin Xuan’s order? You’ve got to be kidding me!"

"Can someone please tell me what on earth is going on?"

They were going mad. At that moment, everyone was losing their minds. Even the people from the True Dragon Sect were bewildered.

Mo Feng frowned. What was this situation?

Beside him, Chasing Wind was also dumbfounded. Judging by Wu Chen’s respectful attitude, could it be that he has also submitted to Lin Xuan? Damn, Lin Xuan is too heaven-defying! He actually made the Wu Family’s number one prodigy submit. Just how powerful must his true strength be? I used to think submitting to Lin Xuan was disgraceful, but now, it doesn’t seem so bad. After all, even Wu Chen submitted.

Amidst the shocked uproar, Wu Chen raised his head and locked his eyes on Huo Yuner. "From now on, I am your opponent."

Huo Yuner’s mind buzzed, her face a mask of shock. She demanded, "Why? Why are you listening to this kid? Have you really submitted to him? What a joke! Even if his talent is great, his current strength is no match for yours. Why are you afraid of him?"

"The Young Master’s strength is greater than mine," Wu Chen said bluntly, drawing a broken sword. Though it was shattered, the blade still radiated a destructive aura.

Huo Yuner frowned. "You intend to fight me with a broken sword? How naive!"

Wu Chen was only a mid-stage Seven-Star, while she was a late-stage Seven-Star. There was an entire minor realm between them. If Wu Chen had produced a powerful weapon, he might have been able to contend with her. But he wanted to challenge her with a broken sword? How absurd!

With a grave expression, Wu Chen said coldly, "The Thunder Sword may be broken, but its power remains. Defeating you is impossible, but holding you back shouldn’t be a problem."

What? The Thunder Sword?

Huo Yuner was dumbfounded. She knew of the Thunder Sword; it was a famed Treasure Sword of the Wu Family and a Grandmaster-level weapon said to possess immense power. It was a fourth-grade weapon. How could it be broken?

Wu Chen looked down at the broken sword in his hand, a hint of terror surfacing in his eyes. He said, "This sword... was shattered by the Young Master. The Young Master wields a Divine Sword. He can sweep away all opposition. Forget me—you, Mo Feng, none of you are a match for the Young Master."

What?

Huo Yuner froze at his words. The crowd erupted into another uproar.

The renowned Thunder Sword was shattered by Lin Xuan! Lin Xuan could actually break a fourth-grade Treasure Sword! Heavens, that was just too unbelievable! No wonder Wu Chen had submitted. With his family’s prized Treasure Sword broken, he had no other choice.

It suddenly dawned on everyone. They finally understood why Wu Chen had submitted. But then, they all frowned, wondering what kind of weapon could possibly break the Thunder Sword.

"Could it be? Does Lin Xuan really possess a Divine Sword?"

"Impossible! How could a kid like him have a Divine Sword? He doesn’t come from a powerful family. Where would he get such a weapon?"

"Could the Ye Family have given it to him?"

"Impossible. The Ye Family is a second-tier family. How could they possess a Divine Sword?"

"That’s not necessarily true. The Ye Family has the Ancient Tower. Don’t forget, that tower annihilated the Fang Family’s entire army. Though the Ye Family is only second-tier, I feel their foundation is incredibly deep. I’d guess the Ye Family was once a top-tier family of extraordinary origin that has since declined. But they should still have some Divine Weapons left over. If the Ye Family has one Divine Weapon, the Ancient Tower, it’s possible they have a Divine Sword as well. This Lin Xuan is their son-in-law, so he could be carrying the Ye Family’s Divine Sword."

As everyone discussed this fervently, a sense of understanding dawned on them. So that was it. The weapon this kid was holding was the Ye Family’s Divine Sword! With a blade like that in hand, no wonder he was so arrogant.

The crowd’s gaze toward Lin Xuan changed. The boy had excellent talent and a Divine Sword. He might just be truly invincible.

Huo Yuner stood there in a daze. She had never taken Lin Xuan seriously before, but she never imagined his trump card would be this powerful. It seems this kid is a peerless foe.

She turned to Mo Feng and said, "Let’s team up and deal with this kid first."

"Your opponent is me!" Wu Chen snorted coldly, stepping forward as the broken sword in his hand radiated a piercing light, its tip pointed directly at Huo Yuner.

On the other side of the clearing, Mo Feng frowned. He glanced at Huo Yuner, then at Wu Chen, before finally shaking his head. "There’s no need to team up," he declared. "So what if the kid has a powerful weapon? I refuse to believe he can defeat me."

Mo Feng stepped forward to face Lin Xuan and said coldly, "Come on, kid. Let me see just how strong this so-called Divine Sword of yours really is."

The surrounding crowd hastily retreated, clearing a large space. An epic battle was about to begin. Filled with curiosity, they all stared wide-eyed at Lin Xuan, eager to see what his Divine Sword looked like.

However, Lin Xuan simply smiled. "To deal with you, I have no need for a Divine Sword!"
