Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 87 Bo Xuan's shock and recognition
"Your Excellency Bo Xuan, thank you for your praise. Lin Xuan just happens to be more sensitive to auras and happens to know the name of the Dark Ancestral Talisman!"

Lin Xuan clasped his fists and bowed to Bo Xuan, the Lord of the Dark Temple who showed up on his own initiative. Then, he looked at Lin Qingtan who was standing behind Bo Xuan and nodded slightly.

Chen Kui on the opposite side couldn't help but tremble when he heard Lin Xuan's words "just right" and "coincidentally".

Chen Kui knew that his master had just activated the power of the Dark Ancestral Talisman to conceal his body. You know, among the eight ancestral talismans, the Dark Ancestral Talisman is one of the best in terms of concealing the body, and it can be compared with the Space Ancestral Talisman.

Not to mention, the person who activated it was his master, the Palace Master Bo Xuan of the Dark Palace. He was a top-notch powerhouse famous throughout the Tianxuan Continent, a powerful being who had reached the Wheel of Reincarnation and the controller of the Ancestral Talisman.

With such strength, no one among the eight super sects in Dongxuan Territory can match it.

Such a top-notch expert and such a divine object are unable to hide in front of Lin Xuan. Can this be explained by the word "coincidentally"?

Bo Xuan ignored Chen Kui who was doubting his life. Compared to his own useless disciple, he was more interested in the truly amazing talent in front of him.

Even the perfect disciple he had just found seemed a little bland compared to the peerless sword in front of him.

“Haha, you know, before you, no one has ever sensed my existence just because they happened to know the name of the Dark Ancestral Talisman.”

Bo Xuan said with a smile, his eyes full of admiration. Those eyes, which were not big but very bright, kept looking Lin Xuan up and down. The more he looked, the more Bo Xuan liked him.

“If Master Bo Xuan had not used the power of the ancestral talisman to conceal Qingtan’s aura, Lin Xuan might not have been able to detect Master Bo Xuan’s existence.”

Looking at Lin Xuan's serious expression, Bo Xuan's smile became even more intense. Although it was the first time he met Lin Xuan, Bo Xuan already had some understanding of what Lin Xuan said.

This may not be detected, on the other hand, doesn't it mean that it is still possible to detect it? In addition to the humility of this little guy, it is estimated that he is also confident to a certain extent that he can detect his existence without knowing the Dark Ancestral Talisman.

However, just as Bo Xuan was about to speak, the next moment, those old eyes suddenly focused, and the sharp gaze was instantly locked on Lin Xuan. A huge momentum, like an endless ocean, locked the entire space.

"Buzz!"

The moment that enormous momentum descended, an astonishing sword intent instantly rose from Lin Xuan's body. Although it was unable to withstand that terrifying momentum, it was like a reef, standing firm despite being hit by the waves.

"Master!"

At this moment, Lin Qingtan, who was standing behind Bo Xuan, reached out and pulled Bo Xuan's sleeve. Bo Xuan then reacted and quickly retracted his aura. At the same time, he also released the blockade of this space.

Turning his head to look at Lin Qingtan, whose face was somewhat pale, Bo Xuan had no mood to coax his beloved disciple at this moment, and gave instructions to Chen Kui.

"Chen Kui, look after your little junior sister."

After saying that, Bo Xuan locked his gaze on Lin Xuan and spoke softly.

"Chat?"

"It is Lin Xuan's honor to be invited by Lord Bo Xuan!"

Lin Xuan said this, glanced at Chen Kui and Lin Qingtan, nodded, and followed Bo Xuan to the top of a mountain.

After the two men sat opposite each other, Bo Xuan raised his hand and a special dark force completely blocked the surrounding space. Then he asked Lin Xuan with a solemn expression.

"Have you ever seen a demon?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan slowly took out a pot of wine and two wine glasses from his Qiankun bag, and while pouring wine for Bo Xuan and himself, he responded softly.

"I have seen it. That demon calls himself the Nine Kings Palace of the Demon Prison."

Bo Xuan, who had just taken the wine glass and took a sip, spat out the wine in his mouth instantly after hearing Lin Xuan's words.

"Pfft! Ahem!!"

After coughing lightly several times, Bo Xuan wiped the wine stains and looked at Lin Xuan, who was pouring wine for him with a calm expression. He couldn't help but admire the other party's calm and composed temperament.

The Palace of the Nine Kings of the Demonic Prison, such a ruthless character, even if he encountered it himself, although he would not be frightened, it would be impossible for him to be as calm as Lin Xuan, as if nothing had happened.

"I don't know, could you tell me more about it?"

After taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Bo Xuan asked Lin Xuan softly, picking up his wine glass again while speaking.

After taking a sip and putting down the glass, Lin Xuan still had a calm expression on his face, but he spoke in a shocking manner.

"In the ruins of an ancient sect, I fought with the clone of the Nine Kings Palace. Luckily, Lin Xuan won with one sword and sealed it back again."

“Puff!! Cough cough cough cough!!!”

Bo Xuan felt like his tears were about to choke out, but his pair of eyes filled with tears were still fixed on the young man in front of him, whose face was calm and without a trace of pride.

Lin Xuan removed the back of his hand from the mouth of the wine bottle and continued his story in a calm tone under Bo Xuan's gaze.

"It's a pity that Lin Xuan is not well-trained and lacks strength. Even though the seal has been reinforced, it won't last long. I'm afraid it will be eroded again in a few years."

The corner of Bo Xuan's mouth twitched. This guy kept saying that he was not well-trained and not strong enough, and it would be difficult for him to last long. However, Bo Xuan dared to guarantee that the seal set by this guy took a lot of effort.

"Ahem, can you tell me in detail? Then, I will go and investigate it myself."

After all, it is the Palace of the Nine Kings of the Demon Prison. For such a ruthless character, Bo Xuan still needs to go there in person to feel at ease. Although he believes in Lin Xuan, there is a saying that goes, "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, be afraid of one." If the news is leaked by chance and the people of the Demon Prison know about it, and then rescue the Palace of the Nine Kings, it will become a big trouble.

"The last time the Great Desolation Sect ruins and the Great Desolation Ancient Monument were opened, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman was taken away, causing the Sealing Formation to lose its center, giving the Nine Kings Palace a chance to catch its breath. Therefore, when it was opened this time, the Nine Kings Palace happened to be revived, intending to transmit the demonic energy out of the Great Desolation Ancient Monument."

Lin Xuan briefly explained the cause of the incident. There was nothing much to say about the specific process. While speaking, Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and handed over a special talisman.

“Sir Bo Xuan, please go to Dahuang County and explore the Great Wilderness Ancient Monument, and you will know the answer. This is the talisman for entering and exiting the formation.” The accidental intrusion of the old man in hemp robe had caused Lin Xuan to specially modify the seal formation of the Great Wilderness Ancient Monument when he reinforced the seal later. Except for the time it is opened every three years, if one wants to enter the ancient monument, one must either know how to open the seal formation or break it by force.

Although Lin Xuan is not good at sword formations, if he wants to break the formation by force, even a strong man in the realm of life and death will need some time to do it.

Facing the Nine Kings Palace of the Demon Prison, Lin Xuan was extremely serious. Sometimes, the more polite one is, the more importance one attaches.

Looking at the unusually mysterious sword talisman in Lin Xuan's hand, Bo Xuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes, looked up at Lin Xuan, then put down the empty wine bottle and took the sword talisman.

"To be honest, if I didn't have a conscience and didn't want to delay your future, I would have to take you back to my Dark Palace today."

After looking at the sword symbol for two seconds, Bo Xuan shook his head and sighed, saying that the more he looked at Lin Xuan's talent, the more he liked him, especially his personality, which was exactly what he liked.

It’s a pity that Lin Xuan’s path is incompatible with the practice inherited by their Dark Temple. Otherwise, even if he wants to go to war with the Dongxuan Territory, Bo Xuan will have to take the person in front of him back.

"Lin Xuan's talent is mediocre, not worthy of your efforts. Compared with Lin Xuan, your two disciples are even more talented, especially Lin Qingtan. If Lin Xuan is not mistaken, he should be an extremely rare evil demon body."

Lin Xuan took a sip leisurely and had to admit that wine was indeed an interesting thing, especially when drunk with the right person, it could calm one's heart.

Hearing Lin Xuan's praise, although he knew it was out of politeness, Bo Xuan still smiled happily. If we put aside Lin Xuan in front of him, Lin Qingtan was the most perfect disciple in his eyes.

"Although Chen Kui's talent is a little lacking, Qing Tan's talent is indeed excellent. Haha, at least, there will be no problem in inheriting my legacy."

Not far away, Chen Kui, who had received Bo Xuan's message and came with Lin Qingtan, looked at Lin Xuan and his master sitting at the same table and drinking on the top of the mountain, and a complex emotion surged up in his heart.

Before today, Chen Kui actually had some disdain for the so-called Sword Saint. Although Lin Xuan was the young patriarch of his junior sister's family clan, Chen Kui was, after all, a core disciple of the Dark Temple, the only overlord in the Northern Xuan Territory. Naturally, he was extremely arrogant.

Simply defeating Ling Qingzhu, who had not yet entered the Nirvana realm, was at most enough to make Chen Kui look at him in the eye, indicating that the other party had potential and would have the opportunity to become a core disciple of one of the eight super sects in Dongxuan Territory in the future.

However, when they met for the first time, Chen Kuike directly overturned his previous opinion. He had nothing but admiration for Lin Xuan. Among his peers, Lin Xuan was definitely an existence that could never be compared to those of them who claimed to be the chosen ones of heaven.

But in just a moment, the previous view was overturned again.

Chen Kui knew his master Bo Xuan very well. He was an extremely proud man. Ordinary people, even the leaders of the eight super sects, might not be worthy of his attention.

But now, Bo Xuan, who has never been fond of drinking, is willing to sit and drink with Lin Xuan. This shows that Bo Xuan does not treat Lin Xuan as a junior at all, but regards him as a person of the same status as himself.

So, after just two short meetings, he, Chen Kui, felt half a generation inferior to a peer whom he had looked down upon before. This made Chen Kui feel indescribably bitter.

What made Chen Kui feel even more bitter was what his master said to Lin Xuan. However, Chen Kui was unable to refute it. Compared with Lin Xuan and Lin Qingtan, his qualifications seemed to be just barely acceptable.

"Master, Sword Master!"

Fortunately, Chen Kui had a clear understanding of himself in his heart, so he didn't feel anything. He clasped his fists and said to Bo Xuan and Lin Xuan.

Lin Qingtan on the side was not so reserved. He ran directly to Bo Xuan, picked up the wine jug beside him obediently, and filled Bo Xuan and Lin Xuan's glasses respectively. Then he blinked and asked Lin Xuan.

"Young Clan Leader, do you know how Brother Lin Dong is doing now?"

"Lin Dong? He's doing fine. He just got married two days ago. Lin Xuan came here today to deliver the wedding invitation."

As Lin Xuan spoke, he took out a big red wedding invitation from his Qiankun bag and prepared to hand it to Lin Qingtan, but he saw that Lin Qingtan's face turned pale instantly.

The hand holding the wine jug trembled slightly. Lin Qingtan tried hard to force a smile on his pale face, but he couldn't do it. Seeing this, Bo Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, girl, that's all for today's homework. Go back and have a good rest. It just so happens that your teacher needs to go out for a while today."

Bo Xuan said this and winked at Chen Kui who was standing beside him. Upon seeing this, Chen Kui immediately took Lin Qingtan away and took the wedding invitation that Lin Xuan handed over.

Looking at the departing backs of Chen Kui and Lin Qingtan, Bo Xuan couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

“Alas, this girl, I have long seen that her feelings towards Lin Dong are somewhat different, but I did not expect that it has reached this point now.”

Bo Xuan has been here for some time and naturally has a better understanding of the Lin family's situation. As an experienced man, how could he not see that Lin Qingtan has special feelings for Lin Dong.

This girl's eyes were different every time she talked about Lin Dong. She was usually very well-behaved, but as long as it was related to Lin Dong, she would become extremely stubborn. Many times, Bo Xuan was so angry that he wanted to go to Yuanmen to find someone to fight.

Looking at Lin Qingtan's distraught back, Lin Xuan subconsciously drank the wine in the glass. After pouring another glass, he spoke in a low voice as if asking himself.

“I think I did something wrong.”

Bo Xuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He turned around and looked at Lin Xuan with a strange expression, as if he was talking nonsense. His eyes became weird. He only heard Lin Xuan shaking his head again and said.

"I thought that marriage is a major event in life, and they should be regretful because of their absence, but unexpectedly, there are more sad people."

Lin Xuan said with emotion, looking down at the clear spiritual wine in the clear wine jar.

"Swords and wine are still interesting. Love and women are too complicated."

"Hahaha!!"

Bo Xuan burst into laughter upon hearing this, and looked at Lin Xuan with an extremely pleased look. He raised the wine bottle and quickly spoke.

"I think so too. Come on, have a drink!"

After drinking a pot of wine, Bo Xuan set off directly for Dahuang County. He would go today and return tomorrow, just in time to continue teaching his disciples tomorrow. As for Lin Xuan, he stayed in Yancheng for one night and told everyone in the Lin family about this matter, because he felt that Lin Qingtan might not have the time to tell him now.
