第三千七百二十章 居心叵测

Silently, flames and sword energy intertwined in mid-air. The scene was beyond description; the void kept collapsing and falling apart, with chaos everywhere.

Sure enough, this域外魔君 was no ordinary opponent. He managed to block Lin Xuan’s full-strength attack, Nine Palaces Musty Sword, leaving them evenly matched.

This guy's strength was something to be reckoned with.

But Lin Xuan had no time to waste here; dragging out the battle would only attract unwanted attention.

With this thought in mind, he flicked his sleeves. However, instead of summoning any treasure, two beautiful maidens appeared in mid-air.

One had a refined appearance, while the other was charming and witty.

No doubt, they were Mo'er and Phantasmal Moon Moth.

In the cultivation world, strength reigned supreme; fairness was a concept that didn’t exist. Lin Xuan wouldn’t be foolish enough to engage in a duel with this guy; he called for reinforcements instead.

Mo'er’s strength was weak, but the secret techniques of Apsara Art were incredibly powerful, making self-defense trivially easy.

As for Little Butterfly, she hadn’t yet mastered time control, but as a savage insect from the primeval wilderness, her power far exceeded that of her peers.

One-on-one, Lin Xuan wasn’t sure he could win.

Clearly, having superpowered allies was a great idea.

The域外魔君’s eyes widened in shock. He never expected this outcome; with only one opponent, how did it suddenly turn into three?

"You’re too dishonorable. This is supposed to be a duel, and you called for reinforcements, turning it into a three-on-one fight. Even if we win, there's nothing to boast about."

The celestial demon seemed on the verge of losing his composure.

"Hmph! You initiated an ambush; now you claim this as a fair duel, acting like the innocent victim. Do you think Lin Xuan would fall for such a simple trick? Moreover, any域外天魔 is a target for all. Mo'er and Little Butterfly, don’t waste your time with him—extract his soul and refine it," Lin Xuan said with disdain.

"Agreed."

The two girls didn’t object; they launched their attacks in unison.

Their cooperation was seamless, combining the玄阴宝盒’s power with illusions. The effect was not only dazzling but flawless. Lin Xuan was taken aback by how well-coordinated their actions were—clearly, the two had practiced together and could execute such a perfect plan on their first try.

It was an unexpected surprise, but Lin Xuan reacted swiftly.

He retracted his main treasure and instead pulled out an ancient scroll.

Suddenly, sword energy flowed freely in mid-air. At this level of cultivation, even if he couldn’t fully unleash the power of先天之宝, at least eight-tenths of its might was unleashed.

A master’s first move revealed their true strength; it was a far cry from his usual performance.

"You..."

The域外天魔 was both shocked and enraged. He never expected that one kick would land him in such trouble.

He regretted his decision to provoke this little monster.

But regrets were useless now. The situation had reached its peak, and there was no turning back.

Despite the dire circumstances, he had no choice but to fight Lin Xuan to the end.

Could it be that he would fall here?

His heart was filled with不甘.

...

However, the battle wasn’t over yet. What Lin Xuan didn’t know was that chaos reigned throughout the entire valley.

It was like a pot of boiling porridge—utterly chaotic.

Battle cries echoed everywhere, light and magic flying in all directions. Multicolored beams pierced through the air, and域外天魔’s dark energy spread unchecked.

Who would have thought that at the Peach Blossom Banquet, where the strongest from the three realms gathered, there would be域外天魔 intruding?

No, they didn’t intrude; they simply appeared out of nowhere in great numbers.

Their forms were diverse—some had实体, others were ethereal. Some resembled humans, while others were far more exotic than ancient demons.

Worse still, some participants’ souls were taken over by域外魔念, though such cases were rare. Once ensnared, they faced eternal damnation.

...

In this situation, the Peach Blossom Banquet was in shambles—something that had never happened even in ancient times.

The far-off travelers were bewildered and disoriented, while the Rain Mist Commercial Alliance, as organizers, lost face badly. They could say they had lost their honor.

The Two Elders of Heaven and Earth were furious and unleashed their domains to suppress the demons.

Though unwilling to get involved, the participants couldn’t ignore the域外天魔’s threats.

...

The battle reached its peak. The suddenness of it all was shocking, but with the three realms’ top experts gathered here, they should have easily outmatched the域外天魔 in strength.

However, relations among the three realms were not always harmonious, and there might be grudges or rivalries between these powerful figures.

Though forced to act, many remained wary of each other. Unless they were old friends, no one was willing to lend a hand.

Everyone focused on their own affairs, leaving the域外天魔 an open door.

Even some great powers, with past grievances, attacked each other without regard for the bigger picture...

Despite the presence of wandering immortals and true demons, they didn’t want to intervene. Figures like Jinyue Corpse King and Heaven’s Fiendish Brightness sat back and watched.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed in their ears.

Angry as he was, Tiantxuan Senior Immortal unleashed his domain.

The strange demon before him with three heads and six arms was instantly immobilized and split in two by a single sword strike.

But it was useless; there were too many enemies. The outsiders, harboring hidden intentions, fought alone. Unless forced to the brink, few actually contributed their strength.

Worse still, Rain桐仙子 had disappeared.

Li Yutong, the top cultivator of the Spirit Realm and host of this event, vanished in chaos.

Had she encountered danger?

The thought was absurd, but if she hadn’t, why wouldn’t she come out to take charge?

Without Rain桐仙子, the Rain Mist Commercial Alliance seemed to have lost its backbone. Despite their many experts, they struggled to function properly.

"Relay this order: quickly mobilize the Shadow Guards here."

Tiantxuan Senior Immortal was worried but not panicking. Without Rain桐仙子, he had to take charge now.

These outsiders were unreliable—like a pile of sand. Fortunately, Rain Mist Commercial Alliance had three thousand Iron Guards who could stabilize the situation.

No matter what trouble Rain桐仙子 encountered, she would surely come soon.
