C55 The Black-robed Man

Fifth chapter, Black Robed Man.

Although Lin Xuan had his eyes closed, his spiritual sense could sense the three of them. After hearing their conversation, he realized that they were not from the inn, but a group of thieves who had come to the inn under the banner of passing merchants!

"Hehe, I think this group of people has their eyes on someone else, but they decided to attack me when they found out that I am richer!"

Lin Xuan pondered in his heart.

"Alright then. We'll listen to Big Brother and Second Brother. We'll let this kid live for now!"

As he spoke, the burly man instantly walked to the front of the bed and was about to help Lin Xuan flip over.

But at this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and happened to meet the burly man!

"Big brother, bad news! This kid has woken up!"

The latter was also quick-witted. Although he was puzzled as to how Lin Xuan could wake up so quickly, his hand movements were also very sharp. He took out a dagger from his waist and prepared to stab at Lin Xuan!

Lin Xuan did not dodge. He allowed the short dagger to stab into his chest, making a metallic sound!

The brawny man's face was full of disbelief. He stabbed with all his strength again, but he could not hurt Lin Xuan at all!

At this moment, the strong man knew he had met a tough opponent. He wanted to run away and shouted. "Not good, big brother. This is a tough opponent. Quickly retreat!"

However, Lin Xuan shouted loudly, not giving them any chance. The Profound Sutra in his body rumbled, and the sound was like a thunderclap, causing their faces to turn ashen from fright!

Immediately after, Lin Xuan brought the burly man back in an instant, crippling his legs with a single kick. The latter's painful wails immediately rang out in the inn!

"Ah..."

The other two could not escape either. Lin Xuan was as easy as pinching an ant to death when dealing with them. He captured them alive!

Lin Xuan caused a huge commotion. The entire inn woke up from their deep sleep. The innkeeper of the inn also ran over with sleepy eyes and asked, "Is Young Master alright?"

"I'm fine, but these few people sneaked into my room in the middle of the night, wanting to steal my things. Fortunately, I've been practicing martial arts since I was young. These people are no match for me. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Lin Xuan did not expose his identity as a cultivator. He was afraid that if the news spread out, the traitor of his family would get wind of it and escape. It would be very difficult to find him again!

"I'm really sorry. It was my inn's negligence that disturbed young master. These three thieves will be handed over to us to watch over them. Tomorrow, we will arrest them and bring them to the government to meet with the officials!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded his head. Mortals had their own mortal system, so he did not forcefully interfere!

After such a disturbance, the entire inn no longer felt sleepy. However, after four hours, the sky was already dawn!

Lin Xuan checked out of the room and prepared to leave the inn.

But at this moment, he heard someone whispering downstairs. "You guys have heard. It is said that two days ago, a caravan also left Sunflower Water Town at dawn, but they were robbed on the mountain road. An entire group of people died, and not a single corpse was left behind. This is terrifying. We should not leave this early, right?"

"How can there be no danger on the road? However, we are 250 miles away from Wenshui City. There is not a single village along the way. If we don't hurry, we might not be able to reach Wenshui City before dark!"

"Don't worry. We have more than a dozen people, and all of them are capable of fighting. Even if we encounter bandits, they might not dare to make a move!"

When Lin Xuan heard this, his spiritual sense was suddenly greatly stirred. He looked at the shopkeeper in front of him and said, "Shopkeeper, was what they said just now true?"

"Sigh, this young master doesn't know the truth. It's true. That robber is ruthless and merciless. Not a single one of them was left alive!"

The middle-aged shopkeeper lightly stroked his mustache and sighed.

"Is that so? Then there have always been bandits. Or has it only been recently?"

Lin Xuan was puzzled and asked again.

"There can be fewer bandits on the road, and we might encounter a pair at any time. But in the past, most of them were just robbing goods. As long as the people in the merchant group do not resist, most of them would not be so vicious..."

"Sigh, evil deeds!"

" Does this mean that this vicious bandit has only appeared recently? He's obviously not in the same gang as the previous bandits?"

Lin Xuan suddenly had some thoughts and continued to ask.

"Maybe. Who knows? Because of the government's control, even if there are robbers, they are still criminals who have escaped. They did not set up camp and did not set up camp. Maybe they came from other territories!"

"Understood!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan did not continue asking. He nodded and put down a silver ingot and left the inn.

At this moment, when Lin Xuan came out, that pair of men had already set off on their way. From afar, Lin Xuan quietly followed them!

Instinct told him that anything unusual meant that there was something fishy going on!

If it was a group of bandits, they naturally wouldn't dare to stay any longer. They would have fled long ago if it wasn't a bandit. If they weren't bandits, then they might be the scum of the Lin family's family!

It was one thing for this group of people to have a safe journey, but if they really encountered bandits along the way, Lin Xuan could help them out a little!

As this group of people did not walk very fast, Lin Xuan did not use the Moon Shadow Step. He just followed them from afar, hiding his tracks and not daring to go too deep!

Because Lin Xuan still had some impression of that traitor. He had seen him on the Martial Exhibition Platform before. If he saw Lin Xuan in the caravan, he definitely wouldn't come out!

However, Lin Xuan had been escorting them for more than fifty miles. He had wasted more than half a day, but he had not seen any bandits!

"Oh, it seems like I was thinking too much!"

Lin Xuan shook his head and did not want to continue following. There were mountain ridges everywhere. Lin Xuan could just find a cave and go into seclusion to cultivate. He definitely did not need to worry about being disturbed or discovered. It was a good place!

He casted the Moon Shadow Step and flew up into the sky. However, there was no sound under his feet. His body was as light as a swallow!

However, at this moment, Lin Xuan's hearing was extremely sharp. He suddenly heard some noises coming from the caravan 500 meters behind him!

"Not good, could it be that the bandits really appeared?"

Lin Xuan thought of something and immediately turned around. He used his extreme speed and ran towards the caravan in the distance!

Before he arrived, he saw that the group of ten people had already lost a few people, and the rest were all running away!

And in the middle of the caravan, there was a figure wearing a black robe whose appearance could not be seen clearly chasing after the fleeing people!

"Is it really a person?"

"It can't be such a coincidence, right? I bumped into him just like that?"

Lin Xuan's footwork did not stop, but a few thoughts flashed through his mind.

However, Black Robed Man was also very scary. Before Lin Xuan could get close to him, he had already found his trace. The latter did not say a word and gave up on the caravan. He turned around and ran towards the mountain!

"Stop, don't run!"

Lin Xuan shouted. Although he hadn't seen the man's face clearly, he was 80% sure that he was a cultivator and had a very high realm!

Plus, the fact that he ran away the moment he saw him seemed to prove that this man had seen Lin Xuan before.

Seeing that the man also practiced movement techniques and was about to run away, Lin Xuan used the Moon Shadow Step without any reservation. With the effect of his divine ability, his body turned into a shadow, and with a leap, he was dozens of meters away, chasing after Black Robed Man!1
