第一千八百二十六章 纤幕伊蓝的抉择

This was a cultivator at the中期 stage of Separation, his face grave as he knelt before an elder. "Disciple greets Master. There is an important development; I beg for your wisdom in deciding."

"Is it that your senior brother has fallen?" the Malevolent Yang Old Demon said with displeasure.

"Indeed, Master already knew," the man in black looked even more reverent and anxious.

"Hmph, Your senior brother's primordial spirit pearl has shattered. If my memory serves correctly, Heavenly Prosperity should be at our main sect by now. Could there really be someone so bold as to disregard the煞阳宗 entirely?" The old demon’s voice was calm, but his anger was clear even to a fool.

"Master, please do not be angry. I have already sent people to pursue them; no matter what, they won't escape. I will definitely bring the murderer of your senior brother before you for soul extraction."

". Well, that's unnecessary. Regardless if it’s a plot or some trickery, whoever caused his fall must be quite formidable. Ordinary disciples would only increase casualties in pursuit. You need not interfere; I’ll handle this myself."

"Master, are you planning to take personal action?" the man in black was surprised.

"How so? Do you have any objections to my decision?"

"I beg your forgiveness, Master. How could such disrespectful thoughts enter my mind? If you decide to act yourself, that would be perfect. I will wait here and wish for your success."

The man in black was visibly alarmed as he tried to explain respectfully.

Fortunately, the Malevolent Yang Old Demon, despite his cruel nature, still cared about his disciples. He had just said it as a show of concern; there was no intention to delve deeper into the matter.

Seeing him acknowledge this, the old demon’s face softened with satisfaction. Then, enveloped in black light, he disappeared without a trace.

The killers of his disciple still thought they could escape? These fellows were truly reckless. He had secret techniques on each of his disciples; capturing the murderer was no problem.

Fen Mu Yilan didn’t know this, but killing an important figure from the煞阳宗 wouldn’t end well for them.

Red Leaf Fairy shared the same thoughts and thus made no pause as they fled several thousand miles away. However, it wasn't enough. Within a hundred thousand li around here was the domain of the煞阳宗.

They would eventually be found if they stayed long enough.

Lin Xuan understood this too and followed from afar. His plan was to escort them safely until they reached a secure location.

Due to his quick thinking, their escape had been smooth so far; no signs of pursuers were seen.

However, Red Leaf’s face showed no relief. The calm before the storm. As long as they hadn’t escaped the煞阳宗's domain, danger could still strike at any moment.

Fen Mu Yilan remained carefree despite her usual demeanor. She seemed to enjoy playing with the dust of the world more now.

Lin Xuan pondered this when he suddenly froze and stopped his遁光, his eyes narrowing as he turned around.

"Hmph, I didn’t expect it to be the Malevolent Yang Old Demon himself," Lin Xuan muttered. "This old guy is really cautious."

His divine sense was always better than his cultivation level; after all, the blue Star Sea had honed it. His current strength wasn't inferior to a洞玄初期 cultivator and might even surpass them.

Given that he had hidden his trail, the Malevolent Yang Old Demon might not have discovered him yet.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan vanished without a trace as he appeared on a nearby barren island.

It was actually just a large rock. After scanning it, Lin Xuan found a more concealed spot and hid there, using his敛气 technique to its fullest extent. Not only did he stop all mana from leaking out, but even his heartbeat and breathing became almost imperceptible.

Knowing that an old monster of the洞玄 stage was chasing them, Lin Xuan didn’t want to reveal himself just yet. With Fen Mu Yilan in front as a shield, he would first assess this young man’s strength. If it suited him, he might wait for both sides to be evenly matched before making his move from the side...

The principle of cultivation combat was to win; how one achieved that victory—whether by outnumbering or using cunning—was not out of the question.

Lin Xuan had finished hiding when Fen Mu Yilan’s遁光 slowed suddenly, and she fell silent. Her casual expression vanished as she became serious, turning her head to look behind her.

"What's wrong?"

Red Leaf Fairy’s divine sense was much weaker; she didn’t notice anything amiss. But this woman wasn’t a fool; seeing Fen Mu Yilan’s actions made her uneasy. Could the pursuers have arrived?

"Hmph, They really think I’m worth it. The old guy himself is here."

"Old guy? What old guy?"

Red Leaf Fairy was even more alarmed. These cryptic words only increased her unease.

"Naturally, the Malevolent Yang Old Demon," Fen Mu Yilan said with a serious expression. "And to add insult to injury, Miss, this far we go no further. I’ll be on my way."

Before she could react, Fen Mu Yilan’s body was bathed in brilliance and left at an even faster speed.

"What…?"

Red Leaf Fairy couldn’t believe it. Just moments ago, Fen Mu Yilan had been boasting about protecting her; now he was leaving so quickly…

She had never seen someone turn their promise into a joke like this before.

Lin Xuan was surprised but soon recovered his composure. He sighed, realizing that he had underestimated Fen Mu Yilan.

Indeed, breaking a promise could be considered dishonorable, but it was also smart. If Lin Xuan were in the same situation, he would make the same choice.

After all, he and Red Leaf Fairy had just met; helping within his means was reasonable given her delicate nature.

But facing a洞玄 cultivator, he needed to be cautious. There was no need to put himself in danger for an unknown woman!
