第三千九百三十九章 黄雀在后

"Oh!"

The silver-eyed maiden nodded, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face.

"Since we now know Sister Yue's whereabouts, from both reason and emotion, my lord has no further excuse to delay. When do you plan to depart?"

Ouyang Qixin's voice entered his ears.

"This is naturally the sooner the better, so I called you all here to discuss it. If nothing unexpected happens, I plan to leave tomorrow with Daoist Ling Ji."

"Tomorrow."

Before Ouyang Qixin could speak, Lady Gong孙 Yu'er stood up and gave Lin Xuan a deep bow as if greeting him.

"Why are you doing this, Yu'er?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised.

"Master, I am disrespectful, but there are some things that must be said," Gong孙 Yu'er's face was extremely serious.

"Do not worry about it; just speak your mind."

Since Master has learned of Mother's whereabouts and intends to seek her out, this is naturally his duty. However, you have only recently become the head of the Daoist Alliance, and Cloud Concealment Sect has become a target for many. If you leave now, I am worried..."

"Stupid girl, your concerns are well-founded. Indeed, it is a critical time, and leaving Cloud Concealment Sect would be seen as irresponsible. However, my plan is already in place." Lin Xuan turned his head and smiled.

"A complete plan?"

Gong孙 Yu'er was speechless, while the silver-eyed maiden's expression revealed her immense joy. She had indeed anticipated Yu'er's concerns but could not voice them from her position. Hearing Lin Xuan say they have a应对 strategy, how could she not feel relieved?

"What method do you have, my lord?"

Ouyang Qixin was also curious.

The other girls did not speak, but their eyes were fixed on Lin Xuan with anticipation.

Curiosity is universal.

"Look!"

Lin Xuan smiled as he stood up. He did not perform any extra actions; instead, he merely shook his shoulders, and his body split into two.

Two Lin Xuans appeared. Both had incredibly powerful auras, identical in appearance except for their skin tone.

The left Lin Xuan's skin was noticeably darker.

"This is my second avatar, just like the original, also at late-stage tribulation. Although I cannot match its strength, it will still have an advantage over peers," Lin Xuan said with a hint of pride on his face: "Leaving him in charge naturally eliminates any fear of someone taking advantage."

By the way, there's something you might be interested in: "Bailianchengxian Hanyu" (Refined by a Hundred Forges and Rain). You can add me on WeChat for updates and more information. Thanks.

"Junior brother truly is remarkable."

The silver-eyed maiden's expression was naturally one of extreme satisfaction.

This way, it truly achieves both goals: they can find their younger sister without worrying about the sect facing unnecessary dangers during this period.

As Lin Xuan himself, he had his own plans.

Although leaving a clone here would slightly affect his strength, it wasn't significant. He still had his main yuan and demon core to rely on. Meanwhile, the second yuan could take advantage of this opportunity to refine itself while guarding the sect.

After all, the Snow Shadow True Demon Technique he practiced was already too weak for current circumstances. Moreover, by chance at the Peach Blossom Festival, he defeated a powerful enemy and obtained the Chaos True Demon Technique manual.

This technique is vast and profound; although it doesn't match the Black Moon Sky Witch Art in power, it's still incredibly formidable. With this time, he could properly comprehend and refine it.

With plans set, the girls bid farewell one by one...

The next morning, just as dawn broke, a streak of light left Cloud Concealment Sect. After several flashes, it vanished into the mist.

It was a flying boat with Lin Xuan and Daoist Ling Ji at the helm. The second avatar remained in his cave.

His skin had turned much lighter now, making him indistinguishable from the original. Thus, outsiders would not notice any discrepancy.

He held an ancient jade cylinder in his hand and lowered his head to immerse himself fully within it.

The Chaos True Demon Technique was obscure and ancient. Even with Lin Xuan's talent, it couldn't be grasped overnight. Some subtle nuances required careful contemplation.

A hair's breadth difference could lead to a mile-wide error; thus, he must not rush the process.

Meanwhile, one Lin Xuan left his cave while another silently pondered the technique. Neither knew that a pair of eyes was quietly watching their every move.

"Humph! That young man actually left the main sect at this time. It seems there's something important he needs to handle."

Not far from Cloud Concealment Mountains, an elderly man in his forties hid among the woods.

He wore a brocade robe and jade belt, with a green jade crown atop his head. His long beard flowed gently in the breeze; truly impressive.

From afar, he looked like a king or nobleman of the secular world.

Count Tianyuan was secretly observing Cloud Concealment Sect from behind.

"Humph! I say you're utterly useless. To seek revenge against a mere mortal, just go and kill him. Why waste time with such pretense?" A cold voice echoed in Count Tianyuan's mind, filled with mockery.

"Humph! What do you know? If it weren't for your interference last time, my old enemy might have already been avenged. There was no need to wait until now," Count Tianyuan snarled, clearly not on good terms with the elderly voice's owner.

"Last time... Last time, I let you miss a golden opportunity. But it's not too late for you to rush in and take revenge; I just don't understand why you're hiding here, wasting your time," the true immortal's voice was extremely old.

"It’s not that simple. That young man is no ordinary cultivator. A thousand years ago, he was only at the spirit realm, but now he has become one of the top three realms and even the head of the Daoist Alliance. How can I be careless about such an existence? Instead of avenging my grudge, I might end up stealing chickens and losing eggs," Count Tianyuan's voice was grave, as he had considerable respect for Lin Xuan at the same level.

"You're right; that young man’s cultivation speed is indeed strange. But since you've received this true immortal's inheritance, how could you possibly lose to him?" The old voice still showed a dismissive attitude. True immortals naturally have their pride.

He did not believe that an existence from another realm could surpass his combat power under the same conditions.

"Humph! Being cautious is always right," Count Tianyuan remained unmoved.

"Very well, you can be careful if you wish. But now that your opponent has left the main sect, what do you plan to do? Should we go and destroy Cloud Concealment Sect first?"

"I have no such boredom; a mere sect isn't worth my time. Without Lin Xuan, I can crush or reshape it as I please," Count Tianyuan said with his beard in hand, pondering aloud.
