第两千九百九十七章 红绫仙子

Three entered were extremely anxious, and thus neither offense nor defense was held back. A burst of intense light flashed through the air as various colored spiritual lights interwove in mid-air.

Together with the venomous snakes that the whip shadows had transformed into, they spiraled towards the dazzling lightning.

Boom!

The next moment, a thunderous explosion echoed in their ears.

A fiery red beam of light emerged, but it was quickly overshadowed by gray-white light nearby. The beam shattered and revealed the face of the woman dressed in court attire.

Her complexion was pale, like a falling meteor that crashed onto the ground with great force.

A large crater appeared before them.

Despite her protective spiritual light, this woman had suffered significant damage from the attack, almost unable to move. She could be said to have been thoroughly injured.

"Idiot, refusing to accept gifts and taking punishment instead. If you had given up the Nine Spirit Immortal Fungus just now, why would you end up in such a dire situation?"

The cultivator wearing a large gray robe spoke with an icy tone that reached their ears. He then raised his right hand without hesitation and swung it down. The whip shadow struck the woman from above like a venomous snake.

Although she was beautiful, there was no怜香惜玉in the cultivation world. Since she had stolen someone else's treasure, she naturally needed to be eliminated completely.

However, at this moment, a thunderous roar echoed in their ears, followed by space distortion as a vortex appeared before them.

This triggered spatial laws, and the whip, affected by the residual shockwave, deviated from its path. It landed with a "thud" somewhere else.

The woman's luck was truly remarkable; she managed to dodge this calamity at the last moment. Whether or not she would have good fortune after surviving such a great peril remained to be seen.

The sudden change left several cultivators stunned.

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, the spatial force emanating from the vortex made them tremble with fear. The fear came from deep within their souls; they couldn't explain it clearly, like mice caught by a cat.

Several pale-faced individuals turned to see an ordinary-looking youth emerge from the dark and deep vortex.

He moved leisurely as if strolling through a garden, as if he had just come out of a place where there was no spatial vortex but simply after dinner in some other location.

Gulp!

The several individuals simultaneously swallowed their saliva. Their expressions were not merely shocked; they looked like they had seen a ghost.

"Finally out."

The youth muttered to himself and then turned his head, surveying the others.

His gaze wasn't sharp; it was rather calm. However, under his gaze, Three entered broke into cold sweats as if their secrets had been exposed.

No wonder, this mysterious youth was Lin Xuan. At his level of power, even an unintentional glance could bring great pressure to low-ranking cultivators.

Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the scene, and he saw everything clearly. His expression showed no concern; a few low-level cultivators' fight meant nothing to him with his current status and strength.

"Eh?"

At this moment, a weak but clear voice rang out. Lin Xuan could hear it despite its weakness.

The voice was filled with surprise and seemed to contain some indescribable emotions. Lin Xuan paused in confusion as he followed the sound with his gaze.

A woman dressed in court attire appeared before him.

Her lips were like pearls, her skin like water, and her eyebrows and eyes were strikingly beautiful. However, there was an underlying aura of ferocity that indicated she was a very strong-willed woman.

She lay at the bottom of the large crater, unable to move, but her expression of surprise could not be concealed.

It seemed as if she had seen a ghost!

"You, you..."

Even speaking coherently became difficult. This wasn't due to injuries but sheer shock that left her tongue-tied.

"Are you? Red Silk, how did you end up here?"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but blurt out.

No wonder Lin Xuan was speechless. She turned out to be one of his 1rìshí (day of recognition) figures: Fairy Red Silk.

Their encounter had been quite convoluted. They met through mutual respect after a fight and eventually became friends. Before ascending to the spirit realm, Lin Xuan had even helped her by recommending her for a position in the Eagle Nest Pavilion as an influential external affairs elder.

Later, due to a mix-up with the transmission, Lin Xuan returned to the 1rìshí once more. Coincidentally, he encountered the interface portal opening and countless ancient demons invading.

Lin Xuan wouldn't have stood idly by; he fought valiantly.

However, in the Eagle Nest Pavilion, there was no sign of Fairy Red Silk's whereabouts. Upon inquiry, it turned out that long before the invasion of ancient demons, she had mysteriously disappeared while traveling outside.

Even Lu Ying'er sent people to search for her but found nothing.

This wasn't surprising; the cultivation world could be treacherous. Although Fairy Red Silk was formidable, encountering a stronger opponent and perishing was normal.

After hearing Lu Ying'er's account, Lin Xuan sighed deeply, assuming that Red Silk had passed away. He never imagined they would meet again after thousands of years in this lost interface.

Why was Red Silk here?

What kind of extraordinary experiences did she have on her body?

Lin Xuan was still stunned when a sound broke the silence.

Turning his head, he saw spiritual lights flashing as the other cultivators fled.

This wasn't unusual; the mysterious youth's cultivation level was unfathomable. Although they didn't know exactly what it was, clearly, they couldn't match him. Four entered had been hesitant about their fate but were now too scared to act rashly, fearing that the old monster might be displeased and eliminate them.

Initially, they were already nervous, but this misfortune seemed to follow them like rain on a leaky roof. The mysterious old monster turned out to know Red Silk, and it sounded as if their relationship was quite close.

Four entered paled; nothing could be worse than this. Their fear led them to realize that staying here was even more dangerous. Weighing the pros and cons, they gritted their teeth, determined to take a chance at survival. At this moment, they dared not hesitate or hide their strength, opening up their full speed in different directions. If luck favored them, they might get a chance for survival.
