Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Lin Xuan Is Still Alive!

No one believed the Ye Family’s exclamations. In their eyes, it was impossible for Lin Xuan to have come out alive. Even if Lin Xuan was heaven-defying, he couldn’t have possibly defeated those Grandmaster-level Demon Beasts.

Ru Meng didn’t believe it either. She had seen the entire palace get frozen over with her own eyes. Lin Xuan is probably frozen solid inside... Yet, she instinctively turned her head to take a look.

The next moment, Ru Meng was stunned, and her eyes suddenly widened. Heavens, what was she seeing?

Lin Xuan! She saw Lin Xuan!

"Lin Xuan is still alive!" she screamed excitedly.

The members of the True Dragon Sect sneered, "Another one’s gone mad." The others just laughed, not believing it either.

"It’s true," Ru Meng said quickly, but the others paid her no mind.

However, Wu Chen and Chasing Wind turned their heads to look. The next moment, their eyeballs nearly popped out. They saw Lin Xuan—he was actually still alive. They too cried out in surprise.

Upon hearing these exclamations, the crowd still refused to believe it. The True Dragon Sect was especially dismissive, with one member snorting coldly, "You lackeys, stop your nonsense. Lin Xuan is dead. There’s no way he could have come out."

"Don’t think you can deceive us again," a member of the Wu Family shouted coldly. "Wu Chen, stop talking nonsense!"

An elder from the Celestial Dream Pavilion was even more furious. "Ru Meng, get back here with me, now!"

Ru Meng stood her ground, unmoving. The Celestial Dream Pavilion elder’s expression darkened. "Ru Meng, get a grip! That boy is already dead."

Ru Meng, however, said excitedly, "Elder, Lin Xuan is still alive! Turn around and look! He’s really alive!"

"I think you’ve really gone mad," the Celestial Dream Pavilion elder said, his expression grim. I have to remove the seal on her soul quickly, or she’ll really become a lunatic.

"I’m telling the truth!" Ru Meng stamped her feet anxiously. "Elder, just glance back for a moment, and you’ll know I’m not lying. Lin Xuan is really alive!"

"I won’t look, and I don’t believe you." The Celestial Dream Pavilion elder kept a cold face. The elders from the Wu Family and the True Dragon Sect haven’t turned around. If I do, won’t that make me look foolish?

"I’m going to find the Young Master!" Ru Meng turned and ran.

"You get back here!" The Celestial Dream Pavilion elder was thoroughly enraged. Another elder turned to give chase, but the moment he turned his head, he saw the scene behind them. He was struck as if by lightning and froze in place. Heavens, what did he see?

"Damn it!" he exclaimed, leaping into the air.

The elders from the other families and sects were startled. What was going on with the Celestial Dream Pavilion? Why were even their elders shouting and making a scene?

"I must see what’s back there," a member of the Wu Family said, turning to look. He then froze in place.

Members of the Fire Dragon Sect turned, and they were rooted to the spot.

Members of the True Dragon Sect turned, their faces looking as if they had seen a ghost.

The scene suddenly fell silent. Many elders froze on the spot. Even those who were still walking up ahead noticed something was wrong and turned back to look. One by one, they all froze where they stood.

The entire area fell silent. Everyone’s eyes were wide open, and they stood as still as statues.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... after five seconds, a thunderous uproar suddenly burst forth.

"AH!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"What did I just see?"

"Lin Xuan! I saw Lin Xuan!"

"Am I hallucinating?"

"Lin Xuan actually walked out of the Ancient Relic! Lin Xuan is still alive!"

"Heavens, this is too unbelievable!"

"This is insane!"

"How did he survive?"

"Could it be... he defeated those Grandmaster-level Demon Beasts?"

They went mad.

The Wu Family went mad!

The Celestial Dream Pavilion went mad!

The Fire Dragon Sect went mad!

The True Dragon Sect went mad!

Everyone went mad!

The entire area erupted into chaos.

"I don’t believe it! This is fake!" an elder from the True Dragon Sect roared madly before rushing forward. Members of the Wu Family, the Celestial Dream Pavilion, and the others also surged forward.

「In the shadows.」

Fang Cangsong was also stunned. He had been in despair moments ago. But seeing Lin Xuan still alive, he jumped up in excitement. Thank the heavens, the kid’s still alive! This is perfect! I must kill him and seize the Dragon Pearl! Thinking this, he no longer hid and rushed forward to kill.

「Near the exit of the Ancient Relic.」

Lin Xuan stood there, surrounded by the people of the Ye Family, who were crying and laughing with excitement. At this moment, the others also rushed over, surrounding Lin Xuan tightly.

"How did you survive?" someone from the Celestial Dream Pavilion asked.

A member of the Wu Family exclaimed, "Where did you get your Divine Sword? May we take a look?"

Someone from the Fire Dragon Sect asked, "Did you obtain the Dragon Pearl?"

A member of the True Dragon Sect roared, "Are you really a Dragon Warrior? How did you become one?"

The questions came one after another. It couldn’t be helped; the miracles Lin Xuan had performed were too numerous. Each one was world-shaking and enough to drive them mad. They naturally wanted to know all the answers.

Of course, it wasn’t just curiosity. Some people’s eyes glinted with greed, and others held a sharp, murderous intent.

Before Lin Xuan could answer, a thunderous roar echoed from afar. It was followed by a murderous aura, as vast as an ocean, that swept toward them.

"Kid, hand over the Dragon Pearl! Kneel and accept your death!"

Feeling this power, the people around trembled. Oh no, this was the power of a Grandmaster! A Grandmaster had arrived.

They all turned to look, then froze.

"Fang Cangsong? Wasn’t he dead?"

"He’s actually still alive?"

"Heavens, is he here for revenge?"

"It’s over. Lin Xuan is in danger." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"He’s doomed."

Lin Xuan had a grudge against the Fang Family—a deep-seated blood feud. A Grandmaster of the Fang Family would certainly not spare him.

Lin Xuan’s expression also darkened. So this old geezer is indeed still alive. He had previously analyzed that his opponent possessed a Dragon Pearl and likely wouldn’t die so easily. It seemed his analysis was correct. However, if he thinks he can snatch my Dragon Pearl, he can dream on. Lin Xuan had many trump cards and wasn’t afraid of any Grandmaster.

He remained completely calm, a hint of mockery and disdain even flickering in his eyes. He didn’t give Fang Cangsong a second thought.

But the others didn’t think the same way, especially the Ye Family. They were frightened out of their wits. Madam Ye screamed, "Lin Xuan, flee! Quickly!"

Lin Xuan had managed to survive the Ancient Relic; he couldn’t die at Fang Cangsong’s hands now. That would be too great a loss. The Ye Family was counting on Lin Xuan for their rise to prominence.

Madam Ye stood in front of Lin Xuan, shielding him. She looked up and said, "Fang Cangsong, what do you think you’re doing? Have you forgotten the fate of the Fang Family? If you dare to make a move, we’ll see to it that you all turn to ash!"

"Are you threatening me?" Fang Cangsong snorted coldly. With a wave of his arm, a surge of power shot out and slammed into Madam Ye, sending her flying and coughing up blood.

Facing a Grandmaster, she was no match at all. The gap was simply too vast. Without a Divine Artifact, the Ye Family stood no chance.

The onlookers shook their heads and sighed, feeling a sense of pity for the Ye Family. In their eyes, the Ye Family couldn’t protect Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan’s face instantly darkened. He went to Madam Ye’s side and asked, "Madam Ye, are you alright?"

"Go! Go quickly! Don’t mind me," Madam Ye urged, her body stained with blood from her severe injuries.

Lin Xuan replied, "There’s no need to flee. This old geezer can’t do anything to me."

At these words, everyone was stunned. What kind of arrogant nonsense was this kid spouting? He actually wanted to take on a Grandmaster alone?

What a joke! The Ye Family’s Ancient Tower wasn’t here. What could he possibly use to contend with a Grandmaster?

Madam Ye was so angry she nearly fainted. "Are you trying to kill me with anger? Hurry up and leave!"
