Chapter 0001: Lu Xuan

Upon receiving Long Yang's command, several servants immediately began to mercilessly beat the unconscious Lu Xuan. These servants had done such things for Long Yang numerous times before, and they were very skilled in their approach, knowing precisely where to strike to inflict the most pain without causing death. Even though Lu Xuan had already lost consciousness, the immense agony still caused him to display a look of suffering.

Several strong and robust servants stood in a row blocking Lu Xuan's direct path. A seemingly carefree young man, flamboyantly waving a folding fan, approached Lu Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Longyang could not help but let out a sneer. With a snap, he closed his folding fan and disdainfully remarked: "Over the years, have you ever seen a woman that my third brother has set his sights on in Qingshan Town that he hasn't managed to obtain? Your sister is no exception... Who knows, perhaps when my third brother grows tired of her, I might also get a chance to enjoy her beauty... Hahaha!"

It is precisely for this reason that the Lu family's life has not been easy, especially recently, as Long Tai, the third young master of the Long family, has taken a liking to Lu Xuan's elder sister and wishes to forcibly marry her

Long Yang's status in the Long family is not very high; most of the time, he relies on Long Tai's influence to assert himself. Now that he is not by Long Tai's side, he does not dare to be too arrogant. If it comes to actually taking action against Lu Xuan, he still lacks the courage to do so

Blocking Lu Xuan's path was none other than a collateral descendant of the Long family, Long Yang

Riding swiftly, before long, Longyang arrived at a desolate area outside the city accompanied by several servants.

While recording this information, he glanced up at Lu Xuan. The middle-aged man shook his head inwardly, realizing that the number of outer sect disciples recruited by the sect today was not large. Even those at the third level of body refinement might not have a chance, and those at the second level of body refinement had basically no hope

Meanwhile, Lu Xuan had already engaged with several of the servants. The disparity in strength was too great; Lu Xuan managed to resist for only a short while before one of the servants struck him on the back of the head with a palm, rendering him unconscious

Thank you, esteemed examiner, " Lu Xuan said respectfully

Seeing Long Yang seemingly wanting to take action, Lu Xuan couldn't help but take a step back. He only possessed the strength of a mere second level in body refinement, while the servants of the Long family were all at least at the third level or above. In a one-on-one situation, Lu Xuan was not a match for them, let alone when there were three or four on the opposing side.

However, a mere declining Lu family, in the face of the first noble family, the Long family, in Qingshan Town, has no ability to resist at all. The only turning point is that Lu Xuan can enter the Fengjian Sect; even if he only becomes an outer disciple, the Long family would absolutely not dare to act against the members of the Lu family.

Having said that, Longyang gave a knowing glance to several of his servants nearby, who immediately understood and swiftly approached Lu Xuan.

There are still fifteen days left, and perhaps my own abilities can be further improved, which would provide greater assurance.

Hearing Long Yang's unrestrained laughter, Lu Xuan snorted coldly: "Long Yang, you might as well give up on that idea. No matter what, I will never allow my sister to marry into the Long family."

Lu Xuan stood in the midst of the crowd, slowly moving forward with the flow of people. As the last person in front of him disappeared, it was finally his turn. He adjusted his clothes and nervously looked at the examiner before him

Lu Xuan cannot be considered a resident of Lincheng; rather, he is the only son of a small family in Qingshan Town, which is located on the outskirts of Lincheng. To refer to it as a family is, in fact, an overstatement for the Lu family, as it has long since fallen into decline. Apart from him, his father, and his sister, there are hardly any servants left in the household.

Although all he needed to do was simple registration work, the number of people coming to sign up was truly overwhelming. The continuous registration over several days naturally led to impatience

"Young master, should we take care of him? This is a desolate wilderness; if he dies, no one will know," suggested one of the servants.

Sixteen, Body Refinement Second Layer

After waiting in line for several hours, he finally succeeded in registering. Whether he can join the Wind Sword Sect will depend on the assessment in fifteen days. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the number plate in his hand; this was his last chance

Whether you can succeed is not for you to decide; I fear you are still pinning your hopes on entering the Wind Sword Sect, aren't you? Very well, then, I shall simply cut off that hope of yours.

With a firm resolve in his heart, Lu Xuan quickly walked towards the outside.

Upon hearing the question, Lu Xuan quickly reported his name

The middle-aged man waved his hand casually, signaling Lu Xuan to leave; a mere kid at the second level of body refinement could not possibly capture his interest.

In recent days, the Fengjian Sect, a third-tier sect, has been holding its annual recruitment ceremony for outer disciples, attracting nearly all eligible youths from the vicinity of Lin City to register, creating an exceptionally lively atmosphere. It is well known that once one joins the Fengjian Sect, even as just an outer disciple, it can be considered a significant leap in one's prospects.

Lu Xuan was not unfamiliar with Long Yang. On ordinary days, Long Yang often mingled with Long Tai. Moreover, Lu Xuan's sister was mentioned by Long Yang to Long Tai. His hatred for Long Yang was no less than that for Long Tai.

Therefore, Lu Xuan's participation in the assessment of the Wind Sword Sect this time is not for himself, but for his sister, and this is also the only opportunity left

Alright, your number is 828. Come here to wait for the assessment in fifteen days

The conflict between Lu Xuan and Long Yang was naturally witnessed by some passersby. However, it was evident at a glance that it was a scenario of a young master from a prominent family bullying a commoner. Consequently, the crowd kept their distance, as no one wished to invite trouble upon themselves

"As long as I am here for a day, you shall not succeed!" Hearing Long Yang blaspheming against his best sister, Lu Xuan could not help but shout in anger

"Young Master, how should we deal with this fellow?" The strongest servant respectfully inquired of Long Yang.

Glancing around, Longyang noticed that there were quite a few pedestrians on the road. He frowned and said, "Take them outside the city first."

Heavenly Sword Continent, Lin City, Sword Testing Hall

If someone else were to take her place, it would be natural for a man to marry and a woman to be wed, and marrying would simply be a matter of course. However, in the entire Qingshan Town, who does not know the infamous reputation of the three young masters of the Long family? Lu Xuan would absolutely not allow his sister to step into a pit of fire.

Name. A middle-aged man, holding a jade tablet, sat behind a desk and asked somewhat impatiently.

Lu Xuan

Having completed all of this, Long Yang abandoned Lu Xuan in this wilderness and left with his subordinates. As for whether Lu Xuan would be eaten by passing wild beasts, that was no longer his concern

If it were in Qingshan Town, following Longtai, one could kill openly in the streets, and Longyang would dare to do so. However, now this is Lincheng, and Longyang does not dare to be too arrogant. Compared to a prominent family in Lincheng, a mere noble family from Qingshan Town is truly insignificant

Upon hearing this, Longyang pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Hmph, this kid is lucky. Let's spare him this time. Just beat him up so that he can't get out of bed for ten to fifteen days. Doesn't he want to participate in the assessment? I want to see how he plans to attend."

Age, strength

Lu Xuan, you really came to register for the assessment of the Wind Sword Sect? Do you really think that with your limited strength, you can still be noticed by them? Hahaha...

Dozens of long lines extended from the hall to the outside, and upon closer inspection, the people in line were mostly young boys and girls of not much age.

Having received the identification number that represented his identity, Lu Xuan let out a sigh and stepped out from the long queue

However, not far from just exiting the Sword Testing Hall, Lu Xuan's path was blocked by someone
