Chapter 126: Innate Seventh Grade Xu Yunzong

Lin Jian couldn’t care less whether he had been drinking or not as he drove like lightning back to the East Lake Imperial Garden District.

He didn’t return to the Agricultural Bank District; even if someone was waiting in ambush there, they would only catch air. However, since Lin Jing lived in Donghu Imperial Garden, his mother’s safety was his top priority.

He parked his car downstairs by his apartment building and quickly extended his Thought.

WHOOSH.

In an instant, he saw the situation inside his home. Lin Jing was already asleep. The house was safe!

Seeing that his home was secure, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little. At the same time, his Thought continued to probe upwards!

With this probe, he spotted someone on the rooftop! A single person stood on the roof, looking up at the sky. This man wore a long gown, standing as straight as a javelin. His entire being seemed to merge into one with heaven and earth.

"An Inner Strength expert!"

Lin Jian could tell at a glance that the other party had Qi Gathering in the Dantian. However, he didn’t have as much Qi as Xu Fengbin, though he was quite a bit stronger than that Young Master Chu he had killed.

Lin Jian frowned. It seemed he really had to head north to the Capital City immediately, or else this would never end.

Naturally, he wasn’t in a hurry to go up just yet. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed Qin San’Er’s number! The phone rang twice before Qin San’Er answered it.

"What is it?" Qin San asked in a lowered voice.

"You don’t know?" Lin Jian asked calmly.

"Know what?" Qin San asked weirdly. "You called me just to ask something so baffling?"

"There’s an assassin on the roof of my building!" Lin Jian said coldly. "An assassin has already made it to my roof, and you didn’t know?"

"What? They arrived this fast?" Hearing Lin Jian’s words, Qin San’Er was greatly startled. After pondering for a moment, he explained, "I’m not in the Capital City, so I don’t know the exact situation, but I’ll look into it for you right now!"

With that, Qin San’Er hung up the phone.

Lin Jian still wasn’t in a hurry to go upstairs and kill the man. He had to lure him away first. If he killed him on the rooftop, the body would be difficult to dispose of. However, he was also waiting for a call, planning to see what Qin San found out first.

Yet, before Qin San’Er could call back, Xu Fengbin’s call came in.

Lin Jian quickly answered, "Mr. Xu." He was very polite. Since Xu Fengbin had personally called to warn him, he had to remember this favor.

"Master San and I are on our way to Jiang City. Who exactly did you offend? Why did Jin Er issue a Jianghu Order?"

"A Jianghu Order?" Lin Jian was puzzled.

"It’s just a kind of rallying signal, you don’t need to worry about it. Just tell me, how did you offend Master Jin Er?" Xu Fengbin asked curiously.

Lin Jian thought about it and felt there was nothing he couldn’t share.

So he spoke frankly, "A few days ago, Ms. He Yuehua, the chairwoman of Zhongshi Investment’s board of directors, hosted a charity banquet in Modu. My girlfriend and I attended. Afterwards, Su Zhiwei, the vice chairman of Xingsheng Group, kidnapped us and attempted to assault my girlfriend.

"My kick was a bit heavy at the time, and his bird and eggs were crushed.

"Later, just a few days after that, a pair of Mandarin Duck Killers named Heizi and Yanzi came to kill me. Right after that, someone named Gao Dakuan and some Young Master Chu also came to kill me."

At this point, Lin Jian paused.

"And then? What happened to those four?" Xu Fengbin asked curiously.

"I’m not exactly sure about the details. It’s just that when they saw me, they all said the same thing. They asked how there could be such a handsome man, and how they could possibly kill someone this handsome. Then they all ran away, and it seemed like they wanted to end their own lives as they fled..."

Xu Fengbin’s face turned green, and his forehead darkened!

He thought, "You little bastard, you really know how to spout nonsense."

However, Xu Fengbin was also secretly shocked. Lin Jian had killed these people without leaving a trace, and yet he could still sit here and talk nonsense with him. This kid’s psychological fortitude was terrifyingly strong!

"I know of Young Master Chu, and I’ve heard of the other three. If it were a one-on-one fight, none of them would be your match..." Xu Fengbin naturally wouldn’t entertain Lin Jian’s nonsense. Instead, he analyzed, "I understand everything now!"

"What do you understand, Mr. Xu?"

"Xingsheng Su Family..." Xu Fengbin chuckled and said, "The eldest son of the Su Family married a woman surnamed Na—the Na as in ’that’.

"And the Na clan are descendants of the Man Qing’s Nara Clan. Furthermore, this Miss Na that the Su Family married belongs to the Yehe Nara Clan. You’ve heard of the Yehe Nara Clan, right?"

Lin Jian thought for a moment. "Did someone from ’Empresses in the Palace’ time-travel here?"

Xu Fengbin suddenly had the urge to strangle the guy to death. He wondered if the bastard could ever hold a serious conversation.

"Don’t worry about how they got here. The Yehe Nara is the clan lineage of the Man Qing empresses. In other words, Su Zhiwei’s mother, Miss Na, is a descendant of the Man Qing empress clan!

"Meanwhile, Master Jin Er’s ancestors belong to the Aisin Gioro lineage. I heard that Jin Er and Miss Na were childhood sweethearts.

"So, do you understand now?" Xu Fengbin smiled.

"Heh, what a filthy couple!" Lin Jian said coldly. "Mr. Xu, there’s a guy in a long gown on my building’s rooftop. He’s about 1.7 meters tall, wears a Daoist topknot, and has a baby face that’s pale and beardless. His only distinct feature is his small eyes—so small they’re just slits. Do you know who he is?"

GASP.

Hearing Lin Jian’s words, Xu Fengbin took a sharp breath and said, "Innate Seventh Grade Xu Yunzong. This person’s Lightweight Skill is extremely formidable."

"Then would he fall to his death if he jumped from the twentieth-something floor?" Lin Jian asked in return.

Xu Fengbin grew annoyed. "Do you think someone would die falling from over twenty stories up? He can’t fly! He just has a better Lightweight Skill, do you understand?"

"Then what kind of bullshit Lightweight Skill is that? Real Lightweight Skill means you can jump from the thirtieth floor and not fall to your death. That’s Lightweight Skill!"

Xu Fengbin realized there was simply no way to have a conversation with this young man, so he angrily hung up the phone!

However, he regretted it immediately after hanging up. He needed to remind Lin Jian that aside from his Lightweight Skill, Xu Yunzong was also a powerful Seventh Grade master. If Lin Jian was careless, he might not survive!

Yet, when he tried calling back, Lin Jian’s line was actually busy!

Indeed, right after getting off the phone with Xu Fengbin, Lin Jian had answered a call from Qin San’Er.

"You still have calls this late?" Qin San’Er had to try for a long time before he finally got through!

"That guy Xu Fengbin is just too long-winded."

Qin San’Er was instantly speechless!

He wondered, "Are you for real? You can personally speak with Xu Fengbin? Stop pretending to be a big shot, you’re just full of shit!"

"Speak, what’s the situation?" Lin Jian asked directly.

"Someone issued a Jianghu Order. Nine million RMB to fetch your head and deliver it to the Capital City. So, I’m afraid many people who are short on money have accepted this Jianghu Order!"

"What the hell is a Jianghu Order? And I’m only worth nine million?" Lin Jian asked angrily.

Qin San’Er seemed to find it amusing, but he managed to hold back his laughter as he explained, "A Jianghu Order is... well... it’s a paid assassination order that only someone in the Grandmaster Realm can issue. Don’t you know Xu Fengbin? Now that he has reached Grandmaster, he can issue a Jianghu Order too.

"Naturally, the ’Jianghu’ we’re referring to isn’t the one found in novels, but rather... well... it’s a circle. Those who practice Ancient Martial Arts, those who cultivate Inner Strength, Daoist cultivators, Buddhist practitioners, people with Superpowers, and so on—all these people belong to this circle. Therefore, this circle is called Jianghu!"

"Have you ever heard of Xu Yunzong?" Lin Jian asked with a smile.

"Innate Seventh Grade Xu Yunzong. A Seventh-Grade Innate with formidable Lightweight Skill. He... don’t tell me he’s the one hunting you down?" Qin San’Er asked in profound shock.

"Not exactly!" Lin Jian shook his head. "I get the feeling Xu Yunzong wants to jump off my building’s roof. But he shouldn’t jump off my roof, that’s just bad luck. I have to go persuade him to jump off Shanghe Trade instead. That building is tall enough!"

Sitting in his car, Lin Jian could see a commercial district right across from his own. Within it stood a skyscraper named Shanghe Trade!

So, he hung up the phone, tossed his mobile onto the seat, opened the door, and hopped out of the car.
