第两千三百六十九章 这才叫移山倒海

"What happened?"

Lin Xuan was shocked. Such a sudden change was something he never expected, and there were no signs of it beforehand at all. The three ancient demons beside him exchanged glances, utterly baffled.

"Let's leave this place first," Lin Xuan instructed.

The scattered rocks that fell down couldn't harm him in the slightest, but staying here clearly wasn't a wise choice. They should leave for now and reassess their situation later.

With his mind racing, he acted swiftly without hesitation. He closed his hands and resealed the treasure map inside. Then, he stuffed the wooden box into his robe.

Lin Xuan's body was soon enveloped in a blue glow as he flew outwards through the falling rocks.

The response of the Three Demons of Immortal Cloud Sect was slower than Lin Xuan's. They were both shocked and angry. After all their efforts to reclaim their main base, they had encountered another unexpected threat.

The Thunder Eagle Gang had been destroyed; could there be new enemies?

Despite their confusion, they didn't panic. Master Senior Lin was the backbone of their group. He was a powerful existence at the Spirit Cultivation Stage, and he seemed even more formidable than his peers. With him in charge here, who would dare to play any tricks on them?

The Three Demons were not stupid. They could see from Lin Xuan's expression that they weren't confident either.

"Master Senior doesn't seem to have much confidence," one of the demons muttered silently.

They wouldn't dare voice their thoughts aloud. For now, Master Senior would be their primary target before considering any other threats.

Lin Xuan was indeed in a difficult situation. If he could leave, he certainly wanted to. But he couldn't.

He sensed that a powerful aura had locked onto him. Even though he appeared motionless, his spirit and energy were already engaged in battle from the start. If he tried to flee, it would reveal weaknesses that the enemy wouldn't hesitate to exploit with deadly attacks.

"Master Senior, where are you?"

A woman in formal attire spoke up after a moment. The other two demons looked up as well, realizing they had forgotten about their leader.

Lin Xuan was not far away, only a hundred paces or so. He hovered mid-air, his expression grave.

The enemy was formidable!

Despite the sudden change, Lin Xuan's response was swift. He immediately recognized that this opponent was no ordinary foe.

He kept his eyes narrowed, occasionally flashing with sharp glints of determination. His face was serious, even more so than when facing the Twin Demons of Heaven and岚.

Clearly, this enemy would be much harder to deal with.

Who could it be?

The Three Demons weren't stupid. They understood that Master Senior's expression indicated he wasn't confident either. Their anxiety grew as they realized just how dangerous this situation was.

"Master Senior doesn't seem to have much confidence," one of the demons muttered silently, though not aloud.

Lin Xuan released his spiritual sense towards the enemy. "Huh?" He immediately noticed something unexpected and touched his forehead in thought.

It was indeed the Heavenly Origin Saint Ancestor. But it wasn't his true form; it seemed to be an outer manifestation instead.

This realization brought Lin Xuan some relief as he became more alert. While he couldn't face a true saint ancestor, this outer manifestation might still offer him a chance to escape.

Lin Xuan didn't underestimate the situation. This manifestation was far different from their encounter on Penglai Mountain. Back then, it had only been a fragment of his soul, limited by the realm's constraints and using any body available.

But now, this outer manifestation was carefully cultivated. Ancestor Demons' manifestations were much more powerful than ordinary Spirit Cultivation Stage beings.

Lin Xuan understood this, so he remained serious despite feeling some relief. He didn't let his guard down.

The enemy crossed several dozen miles in mere moments and stopped about a hundred paces away. The two floated mid-air, facing each other silently.

No spiritual pressure or aura was released, but the air seemed to condense, creating an oppressive atmosphere that made them uncomfortable.

"Phew..."

The Three Demons of Immortal Cloud Sect simultaneously spat out blood after just looking at the confrontation. Their chests felt as if they were boiling with energy.

The Three Demons were shocked and quickly lowered their heads, avoiding further scrutiny. The fear in their hearts was like a tidal wave, surging and rolling within them.

On the other side, Lin Xuan wasn't as weak as the Three Demons. He was equally surprised by the situation.

What a cunning old man! He didn't release his aura openly, but he had two types of pressure—one subtle and one obvious.

The subtle pressure seemed to be a show, while the more hidden spiritual pressure wanted to intimidate him.

Lin Xuan wasn't easily intimidated. His spiritual sense couldn't detect the enemy's maneuvers, but his Divine Eye of Heavenly Phoenix could. He noticed something amiss first.

Thus, he defused the enemy's hidden strength without any visible action.

The expression on Heavenly Origin Saint Ancestor's face showed a hint of surprise. No wonder the Twin Demons of Heaven and岚 had fallen to this young man.

He indeed possessed remarkable abilities!
