第两千零一十九章 鱼饵

However, no one would use it unless absolutely necessary, as it was a technique that cost one's life.

Even Liu Ying turned pale. She suddenly stood up from her seat.

Lulingshuang was one of the ten younger brothers she had sent out to collect top-grade crystal stones and transformed demon pills. Now, he actually used the secret technique of the Heavenly Soul Transmission Talisman. Could it be...

Her expression immediately became very unpleasant.

She raised her jade hand, and a flicker of spiritual light appeared as that fireball landed in her palm.

"Senior Auntie, hurry to rescue them. My younger brothers were ordered to collect treasure crystal stones. On their way back, they were blocked by ancient demons on Tianlan Island. Although the leader wasn't at the stage of Separation and Union, there were many ancient demons at the level of Primordial Spirit. The sisters are barely holding on. My younger brother was severely injured, so he had to use the Heavenly Soul Transmission Talisman."

"Master, you're going out..."

The voice of the well-dressed woman sounded with a hint of urgency.

"How can I not go? If those crystal stones and demon pills fall into the hands of ancient demons, the Nine Palaces Instant Sword Formation won't be able to open. What are the consequences? I think everyone is clear about that," Liu Ying sighed, her voice filled with helplessness.

"Of course, Master, but jumping down might be too dangerous. What if there's an ancient demon at the Separation and Union stage lurking nearby, waiting for you to come out?" the well-dressed woman worriedly said. "After all, without the support of the main base formation, even facing the Iron Wing Demon would be very dangerous. If something happens to you, what about the Heavenly Sea Pavilion..."

"Enough, don't say any more. I've weighed the pros and cons. Even if it's extremely dangerous, this journey must be taken," Liu Ying waved her hand. Her character was sharp and unyielding. Since Fairy Yushan entered the Netherworld Gate, she had been in charge of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion for many years, making decisions with few to advise her.

"Master, since you insist on going, can we pick a few powerful sisters to accompany you..." The well-dressed woman proposed another suggestion. She was trying to find a compromise. Ever since hearing about the incident at Tianlan Island, she had a bad feeling, but in this situation, there was no one to advise her.

"Unnecessary. More people might attract more attention from ancient demons. I'll be easier to move alone," Liu Ying knew her apprentice's intentions and softened slightly. "However, after my departure, the pressure on Yu Zhou Island will increase immensely. You must guard the main base well; don't give ancient demons any opportunity."

"Senior Auntie, please rest assured. We will follow your orders and carefully guard against ancient demons," the female cultivators in the hall knelt down with solemn expressions.

"Hmm."

Liu Ying nodded. Saving people was like saving a burning building. She didn't dare delay and flew out of the hall with a green glow enveloping her.

Soon, she disappeared into the distant horizon. With her departure, the female cultivators left the hall in small groups. A major battle was about to begin, and no one dared to carry anything.

Moreover, Senior Auntie's warning wasn't without reason. If ancient demons learned of her departure, the pressure on the Heavenly Sea Pavilion would increase by several times. The opponent wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

The future battle might be even more brutal than imagined. Since they knew the situation was severe, it was better to make preparations in advance.

On another side,

Leaving the ruins of the Inland City, Lin Xuan flew towards Yu Zhou Island.

Although he hadn't been here for several hundred years, as a cultivator who practiced the Five Elements Technique, his memory was sharp. He didn't dare delay; the scene of the Inland City's destruction still lingered in his mind. If the Heavenly Sea Pavilion had fallen into the hands of ancient demons, it would end up like the Inland City—no one spared. This wasn't what he wanted to see.

He sincerely hoped that Yu Zhou Island hadn't been captured yet as he flew, silently praying.

Due to his concern, his concealment technique became even more swift.

Amidst the light, Fairy Wang's face was filled with worry about whether the main base was still in the hands of her sisters.

She didn't know or couldn't be certain.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan slowed down and stopped, turning his head towards the left side.

"Senior Ancestor, what happened?"

The well-dressed woman was taken aback. She knew that this senior wouldn't make such a move without reason.

"About ten thousand miles ahead, the primordial energy is extremely chaotic, with ancient demon aura surging. If I'm not mistaken, there are cultivators fighting against ancient demons over there. It's not just one or two; it seems to be on a larger scale," Lin Xuan said slowly.

"Senior Ancestor, Yu Zhou Island's situation is critical now. Please allow your younger brother to make a suggestion. We shouldn't interfere in this matter," the well-dressed woman hesitated and spoke with some trepidation.

"Oh, if the cultivators ahead are also from the Heavenly Sea Pavilion?"

"Yes..." The well-dressed woman was taken aback but bit her lips: "We can't worry about so many things now. There's a difference between light and heavy matters. The safety of Yu Zhou Island is most important."

"Humph."

Lin Xuan showed an expression of disapproval, his gaze becoming sharp: "What do you mean by that? Do you want to influence my decisions?"

"Of course not,"

Fairy Wang was shocked and quickly knelt down: "Senior Ancestor, forgive me. Your younger brother doesn't have thecourageto make such a suggestion. I'm just worried about our sect's safety."

"Alright, get up. I only said that."

"Thank you, Senior Ancestor!"

The well-dressed woman stood up obediently but still had some trepidation on her face. As people say, great cultivators are unpredictable. This was indeed true.

Initially, seeing Lin Xuan's amiable personality, she became bolder, but after this setback, she became more cautious. After all, the gap between them in terms of identity and strength was unbridgeable.

Lin Xuan still turned his head to look into the distance, his expression fluctuating.

Of course, he knew that there were light and heavy matters. However, the spiritual energy fluctuations from afar had a faint familiarity that Lin Xuan couldn't shake off.

This made him feel somewhat surprised.

Familiar!

But after careful thought, it was still unclear.

After some hesitation, Lin Xuan couldn't resist his curiosity and flashed over to the scene.

Ten thousand miles wasn't far for him; it was just an instant.

Soon, thunderous explosions filled his ears. In front of him, spiritual light flickered as ancient demon aura surged. Countless ancient demons were surrounding a group of cultivators in the center.

Although most of these ancient demons were cannon fodder, there were many at the Primordial Spirit stage. The seven female cultivators surrounded by them were all at the Primordial Spirit level.

Sure enough, they were from the Heavenly Sea Pavilion.

And only seven of them.

While these seven female cultivators were all at the Primordial Spirit stage, their strength was negligible compared to the surrounding ancient demons.

Logically, they should have returned to the underworld long ago. However, at this moment, they were still holding on.

It wasn't because the Seven Goddesses had passed away; it was that the ancient demons intentionally let them live. After all, a bait must stay alive for the big fish to bite.

"Sir, are you sure that the Heavenly Sea Pavilion's Supreme Elder will definitely come here?"

In an unnoticeable cloud, two ancient demons hid.

One of them had long ears and green eyes, covered in thick scales. Particularly eye-catching was his pair of eagle-like wings on his back, though the feathers seemed to be made of metal, giving off a strange metallic luster. His cultivation level was non-trivial; he was the highest among the ancient demons present—Late Separation and Union.
