Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 17 Master Yan

Early the next morning, Lin Langtian rode on a giant sword formed from his spiritual energy and roared towards Yan City.

Near the city gate.

Instead of obediently going down to the main gate, Lin Langtian leaped directly over the tall city wall.

Its imposing presence, now completely unmasked, drew gasps of amazement from many.

The guards on the city gate didn't dare to utter a sound.

The strong naturally have privileges; the rules are made for the weak. If someone were killed for obstructing Lin Langtian, the city lord would probably clap his hands and say it was a good thing...

Within the city of Yan.

Lin Langtian, high in the sky, immediately noticed an exceptionally magnificent pavilion. Upon closer inspection, he saw the three ancient characters "Qiwu Lou" (奇物楼, Pavilion of Wonders) prominently displayed on it.

Then, with a flash, he leaped down onto the giant sword.

……

The Building of Curious Things.

Several figures were sweeping in a plaza in front of the building, but because of the powerful pressure emanating from a figure high in the sky, they were all trembling with fear, hoping that the figure would leave as soon as possible.

"Brother, is this guy here for revenge? I've heard that our Qiwu Tower has offended quite a few people in the past."

A servant boy said worriedly.

"Who knows? Judging by that imposing aura, even Master Yan might be..."

"Slap! Slap!"

"What are you saying! How dare you two servants discuss Master Yan?" A man who looked like a steward slapped each of them hard on the head.

"Sweep the floor!" the steward ordered sternly.

"Yes!" The two walked to the side with their heads hanging low.

They had only taken a few steps when one of the servants heard a gentle young voice.

"Excuse me, is this the Pavilion of Curious Objects?"

"Nonsense... Of course, are you alone?" According to his usual habit, the servant would have said something pointless and then mocked the other party for being blind and illiterate, but today he suddenly stopped talking and his tone was extremely polite.

As if she had thought of something...

"Oh, is Master Iwa inside?"

The young man in white robes smiled like a naive and inexperienced youth.

"Yes, yes, I saw him this morning."

"Thank you very much then."

After saying that, the white-robed youth headed straight for the Pavilion of Curious Objects.

Watching his departing figure, the servant swallowed hard, his back soaked with cold sweat, as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.

The steward breathed a sigh of relief and said to the servant indifferently, "It's alright, continue!" After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the Curious Treasures Pavilion. Upon closer inspection, his back also seemed to be wet.

In the air, the figure had vanished, and the oppressive aura it had emitted had also dissipated...

……

Inside the Pavilion of Curious Things, Lin Langtian did not deliberately seek out Master Yan.

Since there was plenty of time, they wandered around the area. After all, Yan City could be considered a beginner's village, and if they found some treasures, they would definitely make a profit.

Inside the hall, various counters were evenly spaced, and countless treasures, elixirs, and weapons were neatly displayed for guests to choose from.

After looking around, Lin Langtian only bought a jade-green hairpin, which was exquisite and translucent, a fine treasure.

I didn't tell that little girl I was going out this time, and I don't know if she'll cause a scene. I guess showing her this hairpin will calm her down...

"Um?"

Lin Langtian frowned. Someone had come looking for him. Judging from their appearance, their mental strength was not weak. It was probably Master Na Yan.

Sure enough, several people appeared not far away and hurried towards this place. Among them was an old man in gray clothes, a middle-aged man leading the way, and some guards around them.

He recognized the middle-aged man at a glance as the manager from the square. He hadn't bothered to hide himself, so finding him wasn't difficult.

"Is that Master Iwa?"

"What happened to the Curiosities Pavilion?"

"Could it be related to the aura that appeared earlier?"

A commotion arose among the crowd around Lin Langtian. Master Yan had been stationed at the Pavilion of Rare Items for many years, so naturally many people recognized him.

However, everyone was bewildered to see that Master Yan, who was usually indifferent to everyone, was actually looking anxious as he walked towards them.

Seeing the group of people walking straight towards him, Lin Langtian slowly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Lin Langtian of the Lin Clan greets Master Yan!"
