第三千九百二十三章 化解危机

"Treasure?"

"Not bad. This treasure is no ordinary item; I inadvertently came across it, and its value is considerable. I believe the Lord of the Alliance would be interested as well. Young Lion Book Alliance."

The robed cultivator spoke excitedly, his face radiating confidence.

"Oh?"

Hearing his words, Lin Xuan's eyes showed a trace of interest: "If so, let us go to a nearby secret room for our transaction."

"There is no need for that."

"No need?"

"Your Lordship has the might of a tiger. If you have your eye on this treasure, who would dare to seize it? Besides, the origin of this treasure in my possession is not something trivial; even Your Lordship may not recognize it. The saying goes, 'many minds make for greater wisdom.' In such a case, having other fellow cultivators identify it could be an option. Why go to a secret room?"

The robed cultivator smiled slightly and did not use sound transmission. All the present cultivators heard him clearly.

This arrogance was truly outrageous.

Many old monsters at the Transcending Tribulation stage couldn't help but show interest, quietly closing in around them.

Everyone has curiosity; even cultivators at the Transcending Tribulation stage cannot escape it.

Lin Xuan frowned as he listened. For some reason, he felt something wasn't right, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what.

As time passed and more cultivators surrounded him, Lin Xuan's sense of alertness grew clearer and more distinct.

Could it be...

A vague notion formed in his mind.

Although he didn't know if the situation was truly as dire, there was no time to argue. Better safe than sorry.

"Everyone step back!"

Lin Xuan's loud voice echoed.

However, it was too late.

A gloomy expression flashed across the robed cultivator's face. His aura suddenly became violent and chaotic.

Crackling sounds filled his ears as he suddenly grew imposing, enveloped in dense demonic energy.

"What is this..."

The surrounding cultivators were shocked. A loud explosion echoed, causing the entire square to shake violently. Above them, a mysterious light circle appeared, emitting black runes that weren't dazzling but carried an overwhelming spiritual pressure and chaotic demonic energy.

It was a demon from beyond the heavens, and it had self-destructed.

The situation turned dire in a moment. With so many spectators nearby, there was nowhere to hide.

After all, the precautions for this Immortal Alliance conference were extremely strict; who could have expected those hateful celestial demons to sneak in?

A single misstep could spell disaster. The devastating energy from the explosion naturally caused significant damage.

Lin Xuan was at the forefront of it.

As the new Lord of the Alliance, if he fell here, it would deal a fatal blow to the Immortal Dao Alliance.

Thus, the terrifying energy mostly targeted Lin Xuan.

The surrounding cultivators were merely collateral damage due to the city gates burning.

Lin Xuan faced this immense crisis with no signs of panic. The cultivation world was filled with blood and gore; since he embarked on his path, Lin Xuan had endured countless trials and hardships. This small change was just a drop in the bucket.

No surprise, no joy!

He didn't even retreat.

Indeed, Lin Xuan didn't dodge or summon any treasures. Instead, he raised his right hand with an apparent slowness but struck quickly at the front.

"Screech..."

Lin Xuan's action was devoid of flamboyance; it appeared as if he merely made a casual gesture. However, between his fingers and palm, complex and indiscernible fluctuations spread.

It seemed to mix various laws, yet there were clear differences from ordinary law manipulation.

More profound!

"Is this the young Lin's domain?"

From afar, Emperor Dongyu, Black Phoenix Fairy, and Immortal Wan Xiao all narrowed their eyes, showing intense interest on their faces.

Although they had allowed Lin Xuan to become Lord of the Alliance, deep down, they were still somewhat unwilling.

This was a perfect opportunity to probe his true strength. They couldn't afford to miss it. Their divine senses fully extended as they focused intently.

However, an unbelievable scene unfolded next.

As the磅礴魔威 was about to explode in the crowd, causing severe losses, the demonic energy suddenly began to contract, squeezed by some unseen force, shrinking until it became a small black ball the size of an egg.

Solidified like a实体, its power left people speechless.

Lin Xuan's face showed a serious expression. A light flame appeared on his left hand, which he then swept forward.

Silent and swift!

A white hole appeared in his vision. This wasn't just any spatial rift; it resembled a gateway to an unknown space.

Lin Xuan pushed out with his right hand, sending the black ball inside without delay.

...

The entire process seemed complex but took only a blink of an eye.

Lin Xuan's actions flowed like water, resolving the crisis in one fluid motion.

Ordinary cultivators might still be confused, but even top-tier experts showed shock.

A master reveals their true skill with just one hand.

They had been observing Lin Xuan's domain but found no satisfactory result. Everything happened too quickly.

The abilities displayed by his domain were breathtaking.

One word: unfathomable!

Who in the three realms could confidently neutralize such a disaster at this moment?

Lin Xuan not only escaped unscathed but also saved the lives of nearby cultivators.

Without witnessing it firsthand, one couldn't imagine there was such a person in the world. Had he truly been cultivating for just a few thousand years?

Top-tier experts' faces were filled with shock, and their ambition to compete with Lin Xuan waned significantly.

However, this wasn't the end of the story.

The robed cultivator's face showed disbelief as well. He couldn't believe that his life-or-death struggle ended in such a manner.

Despite the explosion being defused, his life was still lost. Whether he was unwilling or frustrated, "Peng," a blood mist exploded from his body.

But this had no killing power.

Surviving against all odds, many cultivators breathed a sigh of relief but failed to notice a shadow that shot out from the robed cultivator's body under the cover of the blood mist, as fast as lightning, heading straight for Lin Xuan's brow.

Possession!

The hidden move was not just one killing blow; it was a series of unexpected attacks. Could Lin Xuan escape unscathed?
