WDQK: Divorcing Ling Qingzhu

As several major sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, including Ling Qingzhu, gathered in Huangpu City one after another in search of Chen Xuan's whereabouts, he had already arrived in Lin City.

As he appeared, Lin Fan—who was just preparing to enter seclusion—suddenly sensed a terrifying aura approaching the Lin clan.

A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he immediately flew into the sky above the clan grounds. His sudden, uncharacteristic reaction caught the attention of all the clan members, who looked up at him in surprise.

"Isn't that the clan leader?"

"Yes, and it's been a long time since he's looked this shaken!"

"Right, not even when the Wang clan's leader visited did he react like this!"

"It must be a powerful enemy!"

"Oh no, everyone hide!"

"Hide? Run for your lives, kids!"

In the sky, Lin Fan's gaze grew increasingly serious.

This aura was so frightening that it made his entire body tense, as though his very soul was trembling.

Just as Lin Fan was feeling uneasy, a flash of white light streaked across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared before him, as if he had passed through space itself. The young man before him seemed to materialize out of nowhere.

Staring at the young figure in front of him, Lin Fan froze in shock.

How could someone so young possess such terrifying strength?

Jealousy, admiration, and all manner of emotions surged within Lin Fan. He wasn't sure if the newcomer was friend or foe.

"Are you Lin Fan?" the newcomer asked directly.

It was Chen Xuan.

Lin Fan quickly replied respectfully, "Yes, I am Lin Fan, the current leader of the Lin clan. May I ask what brings you here?"

Chen Xuan responded, "I need you to do something."

With such power, he still needs me?

Though puzzled, Lin Fan answered respectfully, "Please, tell me what senior need. If it's within my power, I'll do my best!"

Despite the young man's age, Lin Fan had no hesitation or discomfort in addressing him as "senior."

In fact, he was beginning to suspect that this mysterious figure was the very powerful young man he had been searching for. Unfortunately, he had no concrete proof.

Chen Xuan stated, "The Lin clan's competition will be held in the Tianyan Mountains. No objections, I assume?"

This was not a request—it was an order.

"Ah?" Lin Fan was momentarily stunned.

Chen Xuan raised his hand, and an orb of powerful energy appeared in his palm as he added indifferently, "If you're unwilling, the Lin clan will be erased from the Great Yan Dynasty."

Seeing the orb of terrifying energy, Lin Fan shivered and quickly bowed, saying, "Rest assured, I'll notify the clan immediately. The competition will take place in the Tianyan Mountains."

As he looked at the young man before him, Lin Fan felt a sense of familiarity.

Then, he remembered the description he'd heard in Yan City of Chen Xuan's appearance—it matched perfectly with the person in front of him.

Could it be? This was the mysterious, powerful youth he had been seeking all along!

Lin Fan was elated. Searching high and low, only to find him here so effortlessly!

However, he couldn't help but wonder why the competition needed to be moved to the vast Tianyan Mountains. "Senior," he asked, "the Tianyan Mountains are vast. Where exactly should the event be held?"

Chen Xuan answered without hesitation, "In the Nirvana ancient tomb within the Tianyan Mountains."

The ancient tomb? Lin Fan was baffled. A clan competition held in a Nirvana ancient tomb?

How strange.

The reason Chen Xuan had chosen the Tianyan Mountains was because that was where Lin Dong had once taken Ling Qingzhu's purity and was later humiliated by Lin Langtian.

This time, Chen Xuan intended not only for Lin Dong to suffer defeat there once more but also to witness the grand spectacle he had prepared just for him.

Chen Xuan left immediately after giving his instructions.

Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did Lin Langtian and the others, who had been hiding, feel safe enough to relax.

Master Mu's shocked voice echoed in Lin Langtian's mind, "Lin...Lin Langtian, this man's power is far greater than before."

Even from a distance, Master Mu could sense the overwhelming aura emanating from Chen Xuan, an aura so intense it made his soul tremble with unease.

"M-Master Mu, are you certain?" Lin Langtian was in disbelief.

"It hasn't been that long, has it?"

Master Mu, slightly annoyed, replied, "Lin Langtian, I speak only the truth. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to test him yourself."

Testing him would be like courting death!

Lin Langtian thought. He was no fool.

Meanwhile, Lin Langtian and the others who had glimpsed Chen Xuan's terrifying power were left trembling, their faces pale.

Lin Fan noticed this and asked, "Lin Langtian, what's wrong with you all?"

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Langtian replied, "Clan Leader! That man… he was the supreme expert who once saved us in the Ancient Monument of the Great Desolate County!"

What? It was him! Lin Fan felt a mix of surprise and relief—relief that he was still alive.

He also recalled how Wang Lei and the others had come seeking him, wanting to meet this mysterious powerhouse in person.

Wang Lei, you brought this on yourself. Don't blame me!

Lin Fan then instructed, "Pass it down—the location of next year's clan competition will be changed to the ancient tomb in the Tianyan Mountains."

"Why?" Lin Langtian asked, puzzled.

"Go ask him yourself," Lin Fan replied.

Lin Langtian fell silent.

Ask him? That's a death sentence!

Tiandu County, Yan City.

"Wow! This woman is absolutely stunning!"

"She makes the three beauties of Yan City look like a joke!"

"Wonder which lucky guy will win her favor."

"If I could spend just one night with her, I'd give up ten years of my life!"

"You? Dream on!"

Amid the crowd's whispers, a beautiful woman dressed in simple attire with a veil over her face and lotus flowers beneath her feet entered the Thousand Gold Association.

She was none other than Ling Qingzhu.

She'd come after hearing rumors of someone at the association who was close to Chen Xuan. And she has the intent on breaking them up.

Upon entering, Ling Qingzhu asked coolly, "Is your head manager, Xuan Su, here?"

Hearing the voice, a pretty girl working nearby looked up, only to be captivated by the woman's unparalleled beauty.

She stammered slightly, "M-Miss Xuan Su is...preparing for today's auction. Please...please wait here for a moment."

"Alright," Ling Qingzhu replied with a calm nod.

Not long after, Xuan Su, dressed in a red gown and surrounded by attendants, came out from the auction's backstage area.

After being informed about Ling Qingzhu's arrival, she looked over at her, unable to hide a flash of envy.

For years, Xuan Su had been known as one of Yan City's three great beauties. But upon seeing this woman, she realized there was always someone better.

Composing herself, Xuan Su approached the beautiful woman and asked softly, "Is there something you need from me?"

Ling Qingzhu replied in a cold tone, "One Divine Martial Art. Leave him."

"What?" Xuan Su's expression froze in shock.
