Looking at the backs of the demonic cultivators, Taibai Sword Immortal’s expression was uncertain. After a few moments, he turned around and said, “My friends, we can’t let those demonic cultivators find the Heavenly Dust Pill first.”
“You don’t need to tell me that,” Master Feng Lei looked serious, “Although a while ago, us three sects had some disagreements, but for the past millennials we were from the same sect, so we can’t let those fiends drill a hole into the righteous path.”
“That’s right, not to mention, for the sake of this incident, the elders of the three sects have given a decree, let us work together, and we must not let the Heavenly Dust Pill fall into the hands of others,” Mrs. Cheng smiled slightly.
“There’s something odd about this,” Ouyang Qin, who had been silent the whole time, twirled her hair and said, “Why didn’t the Grand Elders of our three sects make a move? If so, with their Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, it should be easy to capture the Sky Fiend Demon Lord.”
“This… I don’t know.”
A few of the Core Formation Stage cultivators had very high positions, but they still have no knowledge of this matter. Did they reach an agreement with the Demonic Cultivators? No, the opponents only have one Nascent Soul Stage old monster. But there were four on the righteous path, so we have an absolute advantage. There is no reason to be restrained.
“Forget it, let’s not mention it for the time being. The most urgent task is to find the Soul of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord.”
“Yeah. What brother Taibai said is true,” Master Feng Lei nodded, and then he said, “Everyone, disperse and follow the traces of that demon. Once you find him, don’t act rashly, immediately give us a signal, understood?”
His last words were addressed to the lower-level disciples.
“Yes!”
The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of the three sects bowed, then instantly turned into various colors of light and disappeared into the sky.
“Let’s start too!”
“Okay!”
Several Core Formation Stage cultivators bowed, said goodbye, and flew in different directions.
“Junior sister, what’s wrong?” Seeing Ouyang Qin not in a hurry to leave, a strange look flashed across Taibai’s face.
“It’s nothing,” Ouyang Qin turned back, and her face regained its frosty look, “I’m leaving, goodbye.”
Looking at her back, Taibai retracted his smile and replaced it with a stern expression, “In the past, Ouyang Qin’s attitude towards him wasn’t like this. Did she find out… “
A trace of killing intent flashed across Zhang Taibai’s face as he looked back at the direction Ouyang Qin gazed at before leaving. Sensing nothing, he then turned into a dazzling beam of light and disappeared into the clouds.
…
Two hours later.
Somewhere in the originally empty wasteland, ripple-like water waves suddenly appeared, a young man in his early twenties and with an ordinary appearance burst out.
Lin Xuan looked around him vigilantly, after determining that there was no danger, he chose a direction without saying a word. And left at an alarming speed.
After flying for dozens of miles, Lin Xuan landed in a dense forest, breathing heavily. That was close.
It stands to reason that with the Hidden Spirit Pill, in addition to the Concealment Technique written in the Nine Heavens Profound Art. Unless it’s a monster of the Nascent Soul Stage, it would be quite unlikely for him to be discovered.
But just moments ago, Ouyang Qin glanced at his hiding spot intentionally or unintentionally, especially the smile on her lips, which made Lin Xuan sure. This beautiful female cultivator discovered him.
Lin Xuan was shocked at the time. Fortunately, Ouyang Qin’s relationship with him is quite friendly, and she had no malice.
But how did she spot him? Lin Xuan was very concerned.
He doesn’t like the feeling that things are out of control. Is there any loophole in the Hidden Spirit Pill or the Breath Concealing Art?
Lin Xuan frowned and thought deeply, but couldn’t find the reason.
Speaking of which, that affair was quite risky, Ouyang Qin would not put him in a disadvantaged situation, but Taibai Sword Immortal is quite different. In the eyes of others, Zhang Taibai is upright and just, even if he’s scheming, it is also to serve the interests of the Righteous Path.
But Lin Xuan is clear that he is simply a hypocrite who’s secretly colluding with demonic cultivators.
Moreover, this guy was quite sensitive. He did not find his whereabouts. However, the way Ouyang Qin gazed at him before leaving aroused his suspicion.
Lin Xuan’s heart reached his throat. Although in the same rank of cultivators, his strength was quite outstanding, in the face of a master of a Core Formation Stage, there would be even no chance of him escaping, let alone winning.
Fortunately, the other party was only a little confused and left after not finding anything with his Spiritual Sense.
However, Lin Xuan did not dare leave immediately. Who knew if the other party was just using a trick to lead the snake out of the hole. If he really didn’t leave, it would’ve put him in a precarious situation.
Therefore, after the Taibai Sword Immortal left, Lin Xuan did not rush to show up, but patiently stayed in the same place for two hours. Until he was determined that the other party would not come back and that no one was around waiting to ambush him, he flew for dozens of miles and was now finally considered safe.
Lin Xuan wiped the sweat and was preparing to find a place to rest for a while, when suddenly a sense of danger arose, he flew away without thinking.
Bang!
With a loud noise, an old tree behind him became a scapegoat and was blasted into pieces. Looking at the scene in front of him, a cold look flashed across Lin Xuan’s face.
“Huh!”
A slightly surprised voice was heard, Lin Xuan turned his head and saw a white-robed scholar. On the surface, he was about twenty-seven years old. He flipped his hand over, and a brick-like Spirit Tool flew back to him.
Lin Xuan’s expression was ugly, but he did not say much. He sank his Spiritual Sense into the storage bracelet, and a red light flashed. The Wu Hook had been taken out by him.
“A Top Grade Spirit Tool?”
The scholar was startled at first, and then an expression of incomparable fear appeared on his face, “Do not misunderstand fellow Daoist, just now…”
He talked endlessly. However, no matter what he said, Lin Xuan seemed to have not heard it and didn’t say anything at all. Under his control, the Wu Hook rose with amazing momentum and flew over.
The scholar’s face was as white as paper, but he was unwilling to sit still, he hurriedly uttered an incantation, and the big brick in front of him became larger and harder.
“Sss…” the Wu Hook was barely obstructed. It easily cut the golden brick into two halves. And under the desperate eyes of the scholar, chopped his head off his torso.
