After finally walking for some time, the trio reached a normal but luxurious inn that was northeast of the core city.
Xiao Ding took the lead as he entered the inn.
"Hello... welcome, guests!" The receptionist, a mature woman in red, with a beautiful, charming face , standing in the corner saw the three of them coming inside. She quickly walked up to them and welcomed them warmly.
"Miss, arrange three premium rooms, and arrange the food with your signature dish within half an hour," Xiao Ding said, looking at the receptionist.
"Sure... sir, wait a moment." After that, she turned back and soon came back with a young girl, around 15–16 years old, in light green cotton clothes.
The receptionist took out three tokens and handed them to Xiao Ding respectfully.
"Sir, with these three tokens, you can open your personal courtyard that is specially reserved for premium guests. Not only that, but this token will also allow you to activate the formation so that no one below the Chaos Lord Realm can spy on you."
"Xiao Ling, go and escort the guests to their rooms." She patted the back of the girl named Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling looked at them, nodded, and then walked ahead.
"Follow me to your room, sir!" Her voice was very soft, with a hint of sharpness but also ethereal.
All three followed Xiao Ling after that.
But for Shen Xuan, it was different.
When he saw Xiao Ling, he sensed familiarity with the girl in front of him.
While on the way, Xiao Ding suddenly stopped and turned back to Shen Xuan.
"Well, does the Young Master have any new clothes?"
Xiao Ding's question paused Shen Xuan for a while, then he shook his head.
"Well, most of my clothes may already be destroyed. I think it's better to have new ones."
"Oh... Miss, can you take the Young Master and help him buy new clothes?" Pondering for a while, Xiao Ding looked at Xiao Ling, who had also stopped in the middle of their conversation.
"Uhh... okay!" Xiao Ling was silent for a second, then pecked her head like a bird.
"Okay, Young Master, take this card and go buy the dress for yourself first." Xiao Ding handed over a green card to Shen Xuan, then walked toward the room marked by the token.
In the hallway, only two people were left, Shen Xuan and Xiao Ling.
"Sir, follow me!" Without waiting for Shen Xuan, Xiao Ling turned her head and walked toward the exit of the inn.
In the market of the city.
Shen Xuan and Xiao Ling were walking together, making the crowd look at them.
Even though neither Shen Xuan's nor Xiao Ling's clothes seemed extravagant, their appearance alone was enough to stand out from the crowd.
Especially his long, white-silver hair and those eyes like a starry universe, filled with pride and arrogance that were difficult to hide.
"Sir, I brought you to the store. You can buy your dress; I will wait down there," Xiao Ling said as they entered the store, which was filled with many dresses and custom accessories.
Within a few minutes, Shen Xuan chose three dresses for himself and some other accessories.
At the counter area:
"How much do these all cost?" Shen Xuan took out everything he had bought and asked the clerk.
The clerk's hands shook as he totaled the sum. "Three hundred... forty-five Heaven-Crystals, Excellency."
Shen Xuan didn't look at the card in his hand. To him, the currency of this era was merely colored pebbles. He dropped the jade slate onto the counter with the indifference of a king tossing a bone to a dog.
After that, Shen Xuan put the dress inside his storage ring.
He looked at Xiao Ling, who was sitting on a couch but was being harassed by a young man.
Not even looking at the young man, Shen Xuan spoke.
He walked up to Xiao Ling. "Miss Ling, I think I've finished my shopping. It's time to go back."
Hearing Shen Xuan's words, Xiao Ling raised her head and met those cold, calm eyes of his, then nodded.
"Stand still, brat," Ji Yu sneered, stepping into Shen Xuan's path. "Did your mother birth you without eyes? You walk as if you own the street, but you're just a pet for this girl."
Shen Xuan stopped. He didn't turn his body, only his head. His golden-purple eyes locked onto Ji Yu, and for a split second, the bully felt the weight of a billion years of stagnant blood pressing on his soul.
"Repeat the word 'Mother,'" Shen Xuan whispered, "and I will grant you the mercy of a quick death."
"Hmph... now you don't even have ears?" Ji Yu sneered at Shen Xuan arrogantly.
"But I have to say, neither did your mother give you ears nor eyes...!"
"Puuffff...!"
Space itself seemed to fold. There was no movement, no drawing of a blade: only the sudden, wet thud of steel meeting an orbit.
Ji Yu's scream was delayed, his brain unable to process that his right eye had been replaced by a shimmering needle of divine energy..
Blood started oozing from the top of his face.
"Ahh... ahhh..."
Screaming in pain, Ji Yu placed his hands over his eyes.
However, it didn't stop there; another move of the dagger gouged out his left eye, and it fell on the ground.
Shen Xuan looked at the eyeball falling on the ground and smiled coldly.
"Ahh...did you got your retribution, so quickly?"
His voice was full of the questioning and innocently, that he has done nothing.
The surrrounding fell into the silence, by just watching.
As for what happened, they didn't saw clearly. The only thing they saw, a dagger appeared thin out of the air, and then peirced the right eye of Ji Yu and then, the left eye was gouged out.
And from beginning to end, the people present there, never saw hands of the Shen Xuan was moving.
"You bastard...!"
"TAke this for me!"
Ji yu, overwhelmeed by the anger and blidness, condesed his chaotic enegry into the palm, and attacked on Shen Xuan based on the memories and hearing.
Huh...
Bang!!!
The spirtual palm, before it could even touch Shen Xuan, dissapeared miraclously.
Shen Xuan watched the eyeball roll across the floor. He didn't smile; he looked bored.
"The Dao is a mirror," he murmured. "You looked at me with filth in your eyes, so the Dao took them. Do not blame me; blame the universe for your existence."
"Ahh.....protector gui...., where you are....killl him.....for me...!" Losing his eyes, Ji Yu tunring his grief into madness, shook voilently and ascreeming his protector name.
"Ohh...a mere rat has even protector..?" HE laughed at the Ji yu appearance.
Away from here, in the centre of the city.
An old man, siping the sip of the tea, suddenly stopped and looked in the direction, where Shen Xuan and other located.
"What happened old man?"An another old man in red robe, sitting together, aasked when he saw his friend expression was right.
"Something has happened to the young master!" as he said, the old man dissapeared into the void.
The old man red was silent for a while, then also got up and followed.
In the store shop!
The blood scattering on long silver hair, shen Xuan was quite amused by this, but he still held those disgusting smell, and sat on the couch, and waited, for so called the protector Gui.
Soon, two ripple appeared in the void over the shop and the both old man enters.
"Wait...isn't that old man in red robe is city lord Hei?" Someone in the crowd outside of the store, noticed wrong and spoke in doubtful tone.
"Yeah, he is indeed our city lord Hei, but there is also another old man, although not powerful, but he has also very terrefying aura." Many poeple outside fo the store started to murmuing each other.
Inside the store.
"Young master...?" The old man, who was taking tea with the City lord Hei was the protecter gui.
"Uncle Gui...you finally came...!" After hearing his protecotr voice, the desperate Ji Yu, blidly walked toward the protector gui.
"Uncle help...my both eyes has gauged out...help....this bastred had destroyed my eyes!"
Protector Gui looked around and saw, Shen Xuan sitting on the couch without a single worry on his face, and playing with the green card in his hands, and other people ppresnt there, silently watching him, with the fear of the protector Gui.
Protector Gui was stunned for second, when he noticed, Shen xuan didn't even flinched when he tried to suprress him.
Being bored of playing card, Shen Xuan raised his eyes, looked at protector Gui, and spoke.
"you are the proctetor of him?" His voice seems asking normal, but in the eyes of the protector gui, he felt humilation.
"Are you one, who has hurt the young master?" Protector Gui din't take action quickly, because he was unable to see the realm of the Shen Xuan, even when he is the realm of the Chaos Lord, and the young man in front of him, is not even afraid of him.
"Uncle Gui, why are talking with this bastard, why dont you kill him first, then let me transplant his eyes in my eyes." Screeming at protector gui, he Ji Yu raored.
Shen Xuan leaned back, the blood splattered silver hair framing his face like a halo of death.
"A Chaos Lord?" He tilted his head. "In my era, men like you were not protectors. They were the ones who cleaned the stables of the Shen Clan. Tell me, slave... do you still feel the itch of the seal on your soul?"
"Good guy, what a courageous heart."
"This young man is too reckless....sinply insulting the chaos lord realm, is seeking death. "
"Isn't he afriad of death?"
"Could it be he has some backing, so he isn't afraid of them?"
"So what, even if he has some background, can he be stronger than the lord of Heiyun city?"
"I think, the brain of this young man has been taken by some donkey? Why is he so arrogant."
The people in the crowd, started gossiping as they saw the Shen Xuan.
However at this moment the eyes of the Shen Xuan, which was usually silvery gray suddenly lit in the golden purple, for a second, and then returned back to normal.
"Protector Gui, are you called by him? Well, I see, protector Gui, your cultivation forcefully raised to the realm of the chaos Lord realm, and even what a slave seal is placed in the sea of Chaos...."
"How pathetic....if I were you, I will never ensure this...!!"
Shen Xuan sighed and shook his head in pity.
"You.....a mere 13-14 year old baby, how dare you to humilate me..?" The shop's foundations groaned as Protector Gui's aura exploded. The air turned into a solid wall of killing intent. He didn't just punch; he threw the weight of his entire cultivation.
The force was enough to turn a Chaos Vessel into meat-paste before the fist even landed.
In just split of second, the punch of protector Gui was about to touch the fabric of clothes of Shen Xuan.....
Bang....
A huge and loud defeanig sound came, crushing everything in middle.
Who is that..?
Protector Gui shouted, as he looked in front of him.
