Chapter 273: Difficult to Subdue

Before Lin Fan could speak, Wang Xuan waved away the people around him and stood on the wooden bridge, watching the gurgling water, feeling quite relaxed.

Lin Fan was in a state of confusion. He knew that he had been exposed and it was impossible for him to hide in the martial arts gym and disguise himself as an ordinary person as before.

The reason why he entered the martial arts hall was because he valued the safety of the Xianwu Battle Hall. Other forces would not think that he was here. This was indeed the case. No one had noticed his abnormality in the past few months.

Unfortunately, he did not expect that Wang Xuan would arrive at this time, and be so powerful.

"Are you conflicted?" Wang Xuan asked. Although he was confident in his own strength, he still needed help, not to mention that Lin Fan knew this area well enough.

"Senior, you have great cultivation and have discovered me. If you have anything to say, just talk to Lin Fan directly." Lin Fan said with a wry smile, but the hidden weapon in his hand was ready to be fired at any time, and the sword ball in his mouth was ready to move.

He did not intend to hand over his life to others to decide, and he would not let himself be slaughtered. If he faced death, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.

"Are you afraid of me? As long as you don't harm the Xianwu Battle Hall, there won't be much conflict of interest between you and me. What is there to worry about?" Wang Xuan chuckled and asked Lin Fan to sit down. The two of them drank tea in the pavilion.

Lin Fan was not afraid, but was in awe of the strong. As an assassin, he certainly believed in strength. Sometimes, strength was indeed everything.

Wang Xuan said, "Are you a killer from the Assassin's League? I know you killed someone in the alley before. Your moves were clean and sharp, and your sword strikes were fast, accurate and ruthless.

To have achieved such success at the age of only twenty, you are considered a promising talent in the mountain gate. However, I can see that your practice is a bit rough, and your current strength is entirely due to your talent and hard work.

Unfortunately, if you continue like this, your path will be cut off sooner or later. You know the risks of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and you also know that your practice has many flaws and misunderstandings. "

He knew that Lin Fan was a casual cultivator with obvious shortcomings and was very eager for skills and guidance, but the young man was afraid of others getting close to him and was obviously worried.

Lin Fan was cautious and did not trust Wang Xuan just because of what he said. He was a man who could bend and stretch himself, and Wang Xuan felt that he had the potential to be a hidden dragon.

"If you want me to help you, we can treat it as a deal. We can talk about the rest later." Lin Fan said.

He was unwilling to answer many of Wang Xuan's questions. This was the rule of survival for an assassin. Only by being cautious enough could one live long.

"Since you are unwilling to join my army and only want to trade, then let's make a deal." Wang Xuan did not force it, or he did not care.

There are some problems with independent cultivators, such as being overly cautious because they have no capital to make mistakes, being frugal because they lack resources for cultivation, and not trusting others because too many people only talk about benefits.

"I need to do something in Changming City. Xianwu Battle Hall should become a pillar in this area, not an insignificant force." Wang Xuan said, "You know the local area well enough, which is what I need. At the same time, there are some things here that are inconvenient for me to do.

As long as your performance satisfies me, I can teach you a thing or two about swordsmanship, which can be regarded as a reward for you."

Wang Xuan blew a breath, and a magical power transformed into a magic sword and stabbed at Lin Fan. This was exactly Lin Fan's weakness.

"How is this possible!" Lin Fan exclaimed. He didn't expect Wang Xuan's vision and insight to be so sharp that he could easily point out his flaws.

His body kept moving and dodging, but the magic sword could find his loopholes every time. As long as the speed and strength were enough, it could take advantage of these loopholes to seriously injure him.

These loopholes that he normally finds difficult to spot are now clearly visible to Wang Xuan. These loopholes stem from his shortcomings and are areas that need to be remedied.

He kept dodging, and if he relaxed a little, the magic sword would pierce his body. He was so exhausted that he had no chance to fight back. Although Lin Fan didn't know how big the gap between him and Wang Xuan was, he thought that Wang Xuan, who could not handle a magic sword, could probably be suppressed by one hand.

"Senior, your cultivation is far superior to mine. If you can give me some guidance, I will definitely benefit a lot. I am willing to do my best to serve you." Lin Fan said solemnly.

He believed that the strong are respected, but he did not expect that Wang Xuan was not as arrogant or overbearing as he had imagined. Instead, he was very principled, which made him feel more at ease.

"This is a wise choice." Wang Xuan said with a smile.

He asked about Lin Fan's cultivation path. When he was in the Body Refining Realm, this young man took some detours and took a lot of elixirs. He entered the Meridian Opening Level at the age of thirteen or fourteen, which was too early. When he was in the Human Immortal Realm, he had no good choice of cultivation method and could only practice a magic skill. He changed to practice it when he reached the Divine Hidden Realm.

Until now, when he reached the peak of flying, Lin Fan had spent a huge amount of resources, all of which were earned from taking missions in the Assassin's League. It was the rough training that made him feel that his foundation was not solid enough. His combat power was entirely based on studying swordsmanship, and his instantaneous burst of combat power far exceeded the means of the same realm.

"It's a pity. If you were in the mountain gate, you could become a true immortal in the future. But your foundation is a bit rough now. It will take a lot of opportunities to become a celestial immortal." Wang Xuan shook his head. "However, as a casual cultivator, you can reach the peak of flying at the age of 22 or 23. Your talent is indeed beyond doubt."

Wang Xuan could feel that when he mentioned his age and cultivation, Lin Fan seemed unnatural and worried that he would discover his secrets.

To be able to achieve this at this age, there must obviously be some secret. Unfortunately, Wang Xuan did not have a strong desire to explore. Instead, he felt that Lin Fan was a promising talent. It was not easy for a wild genius to reach this level.

"I'm lucky to have achieved this. I've gained a lot of insights between life and death, and the pressure is enormous. Those who don't break through in their cultivation will die." Lin Fan smiled bitterly.

Wang Xuan was too lazy to explore. He didn't need much other things except the source of power. He asked, "Who was the earthly immortal who died on the street? What was in his storage treasure?"

Lin Fan also knew something about the assassination, so it was okay to reveal it: "He came from the Demon City to deliver the goods. There are ten tons of diluted psychotropic drugs in the storage treasures. They were originally used by the Shenzang and Vajra monks to temper and strengthen their souls. Ordinary people cannot resist the mental hallucinations after taking them, and their brains are easily damaged.

This stuff is actually drugs, and the value of the goods is billions. Someone has revealed his whereabouts and offered a reward of 1 billion star dollars for his head. "

In addition to the 1 billion bounty, the drugs and the storage treasure are also of great value. With the proceeds from this mission alone, Lin Fan can become a billionaire and exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources.

"Is that so?" Wang Xuan knew that there were powerful demons who liked to build cities. In such areas, there was almost no legal supervision between humans and demons, and they could only rely on their personal strength and power background.

Things like the drug business are rampant here. Life on the mother planet is too good, and many people have nothing to do so they seek excitement, and end up leaving and never coming back, embarking on a path of no return.

There are so many businesses in the black area, including prostitution, gambling, drugs, human trafficking, dueling arenas, arms trade, money laundering, smuggling, killer business, banned drugs, etc. The profits are extremely huge, and many forces are controlling them behind the scenes. They get the benefits themselves and the spokespersons take the blame.

Lin Fan and Wang Xuan talked about the mixed forces in Changming City, and analyzed it in detail. He grew up in Southeast Asia and lived in the black zone, so he knew too much.

Wang Xuan made drastic changes to the Changming City Xianwu Battle Hall. He introduced some famous local cultivators as instructors, and many service staff were also local people. The majesty of the martial arts hall's gate was maintained, while the luxury of the facade was reduced. Wang Xuan made plans based on local conditions.

"Recruit a group of students first. The cost is lower. We need to train talents, win honors in some competitions, and open up the market with reputation." Wang Xuan ordered.

The martial arts hall was renovated, and Wang Xuan, under the guidance of Lin Fan, went to greet the local tyrants in Changming City.

The so-called strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake, it’s just that the dragon is not strong enough. Wang Xuan will use his own strength to win a living space for the Changming City Xianwu Battle Hall.
