第三千四百七十七章 火云仙子

Money and treasures can stir the heart!

The strength of a Spirit Dividing Realm cultivator was naturally far from being able to compare with those who had passed through tribulation.

But those who could reach this level were not easily dismissed either.

When faced with stronger opponents, it's the wisest choice to avoid them if possible. The Ten Thousand Mountains covered vast areas and there were many paths into the mountains. Although the Poison Clan was a local power, even their formidable abilities couldn't block all the mountain entrances.

Once inside the rugged terrain, the complex geography would further weaken one’s spirit sense, making it difficult to locate them again.

The most important thing in cultivation was opportunity. While strength was crucial, luck played an equally significant role.

That's why, despite the perilous situation, few Spirit Dividing Realm cultivators were willing to give up.

Lin Xuan didn't know any of this. When he arrived at the Ten Thousand Mountains, what met him was a chaotic scene.

Almost without warning, as Lin Xuan saw the outline of the mountains, an ambush and sneak attack came just as expected.

The attack was so sudden that Lin Xuan had no time to prepare. The attacker was someone skilled in concealment.

Sizzle...

As if a piece of silk had been torn, before the sharp sound of breaking air could reach his ears, a brilliant blade light slashed through the sky and aimed directly at Lin Xuan.

The situation had changed suddenly!

For an ordinary cultivator, it might have been possible to fall victim to this attack.

But Lin Xuan's reaction was swift. Without hesitation, he waved his sleeves against the blade light.

Instantly, silver light flowed out like mercury spilling from a container, colliding with the dazzling blade light.

Boom!

Despite the suddenness of the confrontation, the power was shocking.

A mysterious aura filled with five-colored runes suddenly appeared in mid-air, not particularly bright but its spiritual pressure left people awestruck.

An old monster at the tribulation stage!

Lin Xuan immediately made his prediction. He had a hundred percent certainty about it.

Encountering an ambush here was truly unexpected.

Had he been so careful on his journey that his identity was still exposed?

Lin Xuan was both surprised and angry, his expression of astonishment clearly visible. But with his personality, he wouldn't panic.

A terrifying spiritual pressure burst forth.

Moon's jade hand turned, and she also grasped the Profound Yin Treasure Box.

The opponent had set up an ambush here, so there must be more than one person. There was a high likelihood that they would use terrain advantages to set up restrictions as auxiliary measures.

With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan released his powerful spirit sense.

Regardless of what happened, he needed to determine the enemy before making any decisions.

Lin Xuan had such thoughts.

However, his spiritual sense hadn't yet yielded results when a sharp rebuke rang out: "What? You two are also at the tribulation stage. Why hide your strength? Are you crazy or have mental issues?"

This rebuke was so sudden that even with his rich combat experience, Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned.

His combat experience was indeed rich, but he had never faced such criticism from an enemy before.

Crazy?

How to explain it!

Cultivators are usually low-key and hiding their strength is normal.

Lin Xuan was confused for a moment; he didn't know the current situation in the Ten Thousand Mountains—Spirit Dividing Realm cultivators were already being cleared, and major tribulation stage cultivators wanted no conflict until the treasure appeared.

Hiding his strength now would only cause misunderstandings.

Following the sound, Lin Xuan turned to see a female cultivator. She wore a fiery red robe that stood out even in the darkness.

No, this wasn't ordinary clothing; flames danced on its surface, making it an expensive treasure all by itself.

The woman was petite and seemed no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. However, appearances can be deceiving; there wouldn't be any tribulation stage cultivators so young across the entire Three Realms.

Lin Xuan had already achieved such a level in just a few thousand years, which was already quite extraordinary. Other great cultivators were all at least several tens of thousands of years old.

This woman wasn't an exception either; her youthfulness was merely due to anti-aging techniques.

She was a tribulation stage cultivator at the peak of her abilities. Her expression was a mix of surprise and anger, looking at Lin Xuan and Moon. One was on par with her level while the other was even higher.

If she had known their cultivation levels earlier, she wouldn't have tried to ambush them...

"Insane!"

The Fire Cloud Fairy stomped her jade foot, displaying an expression of resentment as she spat fiercely. Her body was enveloped in a red glow before she transformed into a streak of lightning and flew away.

"What's going on?"

Lin Xuan and Moon exchanged glances, bewildered but not pursuing the matter further. It seemed like they had been misjudged.

Following the principle that it’s better to avoid trouble, Lin Xuan didn't want to engage in combat with an equal opponent.

"Let's go!"

Although he was unclear about the situation, he guessed it might be related to his hidden strength. Given how remote and secluded the Ten Thousand Mountains were, there was no need to worry about being discovered by Princess Serpent’s subordinates.

So Lin Xuan stopped hiding his aura. Indeed, things went smoothly from then on.

The gloomy mood of being ambushed dissipated, leaving him in high spirits.

...

On one side, he felt good, but on the other, Fire Cloud Fairy was furious. She had come here for treasures and clearing out Spirit Dividing Realm cultivators was a common choice among tribulation stage cultivators.

She couldn't avoid this either; she made the same move.

But unexpectedly, her mission didn’t go well as she encountered two mysterious figures.

Hiding strength in such circumstances was truly insane.

Fire Cloud Fairy wasn't weak. Her cultivation method had immense power, but it also made her extremely irritable.

This small incident had filled her with a lot of resentment.

Suddenly, another streak of light entered his vision.

The Fire Cloud Fairy released her spirit sense.

Spirit Dividing Realm!

She couldn’t have someone else hiding their strength too; she was delighted and didn't think twice before rushing forward.

It was the most normal choice for her. It would help alleviate her mood.

This time, she didn’t use an ambush but faced him openly in broad daylight.

The cultivator hidden within the streak of light was also very young, around twenty years old, similar to Lin Xuan's age and build. However, his appearance was much more handsome than Lin Xuan’s; he could be considered a graceful gentleman.

There might indeed be coincidences in this world. Tian Xiaojian had arrived here at just the right moment.
