第五卷 天云十二州 第一千零八十一章 奇怪的书生

Lin Xuan sighed and said, "I can't figure it out either. The easiest explanation would be that he's after her beauty, but she isn't that beautiful."

"Then why did he say something about a '同类'?" Mo'er asked curiously.

"A同类? He must mean the same kind of spirit," Lin Xuan replied, his expression turning strange as he thought about it. Mo'er was a ghost, and if she said "同类", it could only refer to creatures from the阴司界. But Lin Xuan couldn't see any signs that this man wasn't human.

He had experienced the snowworm mountain incident before, and Mo'er's identity was still shrouded in mystery. Although he didn't say anything, he never forgot about her identity. That was why he worked so hard to strengthen his power. One day, it might bring trouble, but only by becoming stronger could he protect himself and his beloved girl.

After a while, Lin Xuan looked around and found that the scenery had become more desolate. The grass on the ground was withered yellow, and occasionally some low shrubs could be seen.

"Friend, do you have no end? Even if you want to kill someone and take their treasure, there's no one here to disturb us," Lin Xuan said impatiently.

The man changed his flight path and stopped. He looked relaxed as he said, "It seems that Brother understands the situation. You know very well that I just want to kill and take something. From the beginning, you didn't plan on giving up this girl."

Lin Xuan smiled. Today's incident was indeed interesting. If he could really defeat a peer in combat, it would be quite amusing.

After all, although many元婴期 cultivators had died at Lin Xuan's hands, that was due to his extraordinary power and not a standard for comparison. In the cultivation world, most元婴期 cultivators didn't die from fighting; they mostly expired naturally after their lifespan ended.

Each元婴期 cultivator possessed hidden techniques, and low-rank cultivators couldn't pose an effective threat. Between peers, if you couldn't defeat them, there was usually a way to escape.

Only later-stage cultivators with the goal of breaking through to离合期 had the ability to kill an元婴期 cultivator, but such individuals were few and far between.

Between mid-rank and mid-rank cultivators, defeating one wasn't difficult, but killing them was almost impossible. This man was interesting.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Let's be straightforward. This girl is the daughter of my old friend, and also a descendant of mine. I will not hide anything. If you want her so badly, it's beyond me."

The man still wore a pleasant expression as he said, "I understand. We can't negotiate this matter. Since there's no room for negotiation, we'll have to settle this with our hands."

"Before we start, I'd like to ask one question," Lin Xuan said.

"Why do you need her so badly?"

"Yes, that's the reason." Lin Xuan nodded. "I will not tell you why. I have a bad habit of making my enemies confused."

"Then it's your own fault. I think you're a decent person and didn't plan to kill you. Since you insist on this soul-searching torture, don't blame me for being ruthless," Lin Xuan said with a light tone.

"Oh, so you also like to search souls after killing someone? It was nice meeting you. We are still friends. Unfortunately, I have my eyes set on her, and since you won't let go, we can only find somewhere else to drink together." The man sighed, his face filled with regret.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but be speechless. He had seen many things in his life, but such an interesting opponent was something he had never encountered before.

Interesting. Lin Xuan put away his contempt and began to carefully observe this strange cultivator.
