第一千八百一十九章 脱险与伤愈

"How could it be that you, Fellow Daoist, think I am just blabbering nonsense?"

The King Jellyfish turned its head, and a sharp light flashed in its eyes. Usually, his ordinariness was the best disguise. Since the other party recognized him, there was no need to continue pretending.

"Haha, how could I dare have such thoughts? It's just that I'm curious—why did you say this?"

"The strength of the cultivation world in the Eastern Sea. We both know it well; none of those old fellows possess the talent to train such a master. At mere Separation and Union stage, his power has already reached such an extent, especially with his treasures..." Here, the King Jellyfish's eyes actually showed some trepidation: "Do you know how he broke through my illusion?"

The bald man with golden hair shook his head. The scene in the illusion was unseen by outsiders; how could he possibly know?

In that boy's hand, there was a long spear-shaped treasure that could manipulate spatial laws.

"Manipulate spatial laws?"

The bald man with golden hair was greatly alarmed. He noticed the King Jellyfish's choice of words—manipulating rather than borrowing. Such an item...

"Fellow Daoist, are you sure you didn't see wrong?" he said seriously.

"I'm not sure either." The King Jellyfish's face showed a hint of a bitter smile: "After all, such things I have never seen before; only some vague descriptions in ancient texts."

The bald man with golden hair nodded. He was also an Inner Profound cultivator and naturally understood the King Jellyfish's predicament. After all, compared to the entire Spirit Realm, the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea was still too low.

Such level treasures were impossible to come into contact with.

"Even if we can't be certain, there should be more than a fifty percent chance." The King Jellyfish's voice continued.

The bald man sighed and then changed his tone, speaking words that left the old man speechless.

However, he had to admit that what the other party said was reasonable. After all, no one wanted to provoke such formidable enemies, but what should he do? The Unscrupulous Venerable had fallen here—going back, it would be hard for him to explain his actions before the King.

That fellow, though despicable and shameless, was very good at flattering; he said many flattering words to the Lion King, who was delighted and adopted him as a foster son. He seemed quite favored.

But in any case, even if that mysterious figure's illusion couldn't trap him, it wasn't his fault.

The bald man with golden hair didn't send out hands to search anymore. Finding them wouldn't help; they could still escape easily.

On the other side, two Inner Profound cultivators from the Human race watched this scene with glee.

One had a square face and looked distinguished; he was probably around fifty years old. The other was an elderly Daoist in robes, with a Taoist air about him. What was peculiar was that there was a long sword on his back—carried openly.

Clearly, it was a precious item, but not stored in a storage bag, which was rare.

Both were Inner Profound middle-stage cultivators and did not fall short of the King Jellyfish's strength.

The situation had developed to this point; with the Sea and Demonic races sending people, how could humans lag behind? Actually, they arrived at the Nine Immortals Palace much earlier.

"Old Man翁, what do you think about this person? A mere Separation and Union stage, yet it made that old King Jellyfish fall." The square-faced cultivator said indifferently, but his eyes showed a hint of excitement.

Cultivators of their level were enemies with the Sea race to the death. Seeing them humiliated was particularly satisfying.

"I'm not sure either," the Daoist in robes shook his head; Lin轩's face was too unfamiliar.

"Anyway, tell your subordinates to keep an eye on this young fellow. He has great potential; if you can recruit him, do so. Do not let him fall into the hands of the Demonic or Sea races."

"I understand. Even without Old Man翁 saying it, I would have done so anyway," said the square-faced cultivator with a frown. "But his movements are unpredictable, and finding him might be difficult."

"Hmm, just do your best; there's no need to force anything. Regardless, this young fellow is a Human race cultivator, which is already enough to make us happy." The Daoist in robes stroked his beard, smiling.

Lin轩 was unaware of all this. At this moment, he was tens of thousands of miles away.

Lin轩's face was as pale as paper; even with the strength of his physical body, repeatedly using the Illusionary Escape Technique for over twenty times was no easy feat, and his mana nearly depleted. Fortunately, there was a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Nectar. Even so, it would take some time to recover after consuming such a holy substance.

Lin轩 released his divine sense; within several thousand miles, he saw no suspicious figures, and the pursuers were nowhere to be found. This was normal; using Illusionary Escape Technique to escape meant that even Inner Profound cultivators could only sigh helplessly.

However, in all honesty, this time was indeed very dangerous. The mysterious figure lurking in the shadows used an illusion array to trap him. Although he never saw his true face, there were obvious guesses. This was clearly a high-level expert from the Sea race's Jellyfish faction—Inner Profound middle-stage. If his guess was correct, this mysterious expert might be none other than the King Jellyfish himself.

The Six Kings of the Sea race were top-notch experts in the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea.

Thinking about it, Lin轩 felt a bit relieved. The Jellyfish faction excelled in assassination; fortunately, he had escaped quickly like oil on water. Otherwise, even without the Lion race's formidable figure lurking nearby, he would not be his match in a one-on-one fight.

Lin轩 was never an arrogant person. Although his mana and abilities far surpassed those of his peers, compared to the Six Kings of the Sea race, there was still a significant gap. The two were not on the same level; escaping from the illusion array this time involved some luck.

Firstly, he had obtained the spear from the Snow Fox King. Even though he knew it was a spatial treasure, its involvement with spatial laws was an unexpected bonus.

Secondly, although the King Jellyfish did intervene, there seemed to be no intention of holding back; otherwise, he would not have escaped so easily and comfortably now.

Lin轩 had self-awareness. This time, he clearly caused a major disaster. The Unscrupulous Venerable was likely an important figure in the Lion race. Killing him brought endless trouble. However, Lin轩 did not regret it. If given another chance, he would do the same. He was never one to shy away from trouble; who let that guy snatch his Nine Yang True Iron?

Everyone has to pay a price for their actions.

As for the consequences of killing him? There's an old saying: too many lice don't itch, and too much debt doesn't worry you. Anyway, he had already killed the son of the Shark King; offending the Lion race now would not matter much.

Even if they wanted revenge, they needed to find him first; otherwise, it was just dry eyes.

With his mind made up, Lin轩 confirmed that he was safe. At this moment, he was in a vast wilderness where neither cultivators nor ordinary people could be seen.

This desolate place suited him perfectly. He quickly found a secluded valley and flew over to establish a small cave there. Then, Lin轩 entered the cave to meditate.

Time passed like a white horse; before long, it had been a month. The tranquility here was never disturbed. Until one day, Lin轩 finally left the valley, completely recovered from both the energy depletion caused by using the Illusionary Escape Technique and his injuries sustained in battle.

Feeling good, Lin轩 transformed into a streak of lightning that soon disappeared on the horizon.

Lin轩 did not return to Black Wind Island; he had yet to buy the medicinal herbs for Shangguan Muduyu. Lin轩 was not one to break promises, but he also didn't plan to risk returning to Nine Immortals City, as it would be like throwing himself into a trap. Fortunately, the chaotic sea area wasn't just controlled by Nine Immortals Palace.

It was the largest and actually the controller of the chaotic sea region, forcing other cultivation sects and families to live at his whim.

Actually, there were many islands nearby, large and small, scattered like stars; it was hard to count them all.

Lin轩 didn't need to know about them but urgently needed a map of the seas to understand which forces existed in this area so he could make a well-informed choice.

Lin轩 closed his eyes and released an extremely powerful divine sense. Soon, he lifted his head with a hint of satisfaction on his lips; clearly, he had gained something.

Then, Lin轩's body emitted a green glow as he flew towards the left side.

A streak of lightning was traveling, but it was thicker than usual, indicating multiple people were driving it. In the faint light, two men and one woman could be seen—clearly a couple with their son.

Lin轩 blocked their path without any warning!~!
