第三千九百九十六章 魔焰鸟

"Alas, what use is it to talk about this now? Who could have thought that the Three Realms would face such calamities at once. Even with a boundary-crossing teleportation array, there's no point in using it now. In my humble opinion, we should head to Cloud Concealment Sect," said the white-faced elder, his expression full of hesitation, but he ultimately sighed and spoke.

"Head to Cloud Concealment Sect?" The white-haired old woman looked puzzled. "But isn't that place under siege by域外天魔?"

"I know this well. However, hasn't their main stronghold not been breached yet?"

"The performance of Senior Lin Xuan is commendable. Though it doesn't reach the level of extraordinary talent, he has managed to thwart the schemes of the域外天魔 several times, ensuring that Cloud Concealment Sect remains unscathed. With these powerful outsiders now in great numbers, aside from Cloud Concealment Sect and Penglai Immortal Island, I can hardly think of another place that could withstand the overwhelming attacks by the域外天魔."

The other elders present also wore expressions of deep thought.

After a long while, the red-faced elder nodded. "Brother's words are reasonable. This is our only option. Let's head to Cloud Concealment Sect."

"Agreed," said the white-haired old woman. "Compared to Penglai Immortal Island, Cloud Concealment Sect is much closer. We should be able to leave this desert in about a month." They all nodded in agreement after discussing.

"Now that we have no objections from our fellow disciples, let's rest tonight and gather our strength. Tomorrow morning, we'll depart from this desert," said the white-faced elder, though he hinted at his intention to step down, he was still the head of Lingshui Sect, both emotionally and logically, it was only fitting for him to make the final decision.

The others agreed loudly.

Thus, these senior elders no longer gathered but each sat cross-legged, restoring their spiritual energy by consuming pills.

...

At the same time, several million miles away,

In the dim sky, golden lightning suddenly appeared. Dark clouds swirled overhead, and thunder rumbled continuously in his ears.

Then a spatial rift appeared, and several fireballs shot out from it like meteors, crashing onto the ground with force.

But soon, their momentum slowed down as they revealed hazy figures.

"Phew, returning to the Spirit Realm feels great. Without the constraints of the laws, compared to the Little Immortal Domain, I feel much lighter."

Lin Xuan stretched his arms, his face full of joy.

Please follow my WeChat friend, Huanyu. This novel is nearing its end. Today, Huanyu will post an article on WeChat for a summary and reflection. It's very important. Please pay attention to it. You can search "Hundred Refinements to Immortality Huanyu" in WeChat.

"Haha, Third Brother, this is natural. Although your strength has improved, since you haven't passed the ascension trials, you naturally feel various restraints and discomforts in the Little Immortal Domain," said Dailong with a cheerful laugh, still looking lighthearted.

After much effort, they directly returned from the Little Immortal Domain.

However, unlike when they left alone, this time it was bustling with people.

Moon Butterfly wasn't mentioned. Dailong True Man naturally traveled together. The most annoying part was that the Eight-Tailed Fairy Fox also followed them.

Remember how she had sworn to Lin Xuan and Dailong to leave the Little Immortal Domain quickly? But in such a short time, she herself turned into a persistent pest, insisting on following no matter what.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Lin Xuan. It was all Dailong True Man's fault.

Mystics knew that an Eight-Tailed Fairy Fox could bewitch anyone. This was her innate divine power, and it wasn't wrong for her to be so captivating. Logically, Dailong True Man should have been the one enchanted by her.

But mystic affairs couldn't be judged by common sense. Even with nine tails, Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's charm might not match that of an Eight-Tailed Fairy Fox. In just a few months, the Eight-Tailed Fairy Fox had already ensnared Spirit Realm's top playboy. Looking at her determined expression, Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh inside… Would Dailong True Man be punished by Qianqian Immortal Maiden with kneeling and scrubbing clothes?

He decided to stay out of it. Although they swore to share both good times and bad when they became sworn brothers, he didn't want to get involved in such matters.

Thus, the group returned to the Domain of Dailong. But looking around, everything was unfamiliar.

But that wasn't a problem for them.

This wasn't the Little Immortal Domain; Lin Xuan could easily command the laws of nature and his divine sense wouldn't be suppressed here either.

So he closed his eyes and released his divine sense to seek out someone who could guide him. Whether it was a cultivator, a beast, or an outsider, as long as they could tell him where they were, that would suffice.

"Ugh..."

He soon received some information, though the distance was too great for clear communication. Lin Xuan's face showed signs of thoughtfulness.

...

Meanwhile, the members of Lingshui Sect were meditating.

After a long journey, their spiritual energy had been depleted.

They seized this opportunity to rest as tightly as possible.

As time passed, the sky grew darker.

A dark cloud drifted overhead.

Initially, they didn't pay attention. But suddenly, an unpleasant "cackling" sound reached their ears.

The clouds parted, revealing hundreds of monstrous birds.

These birds varied in size; some were over ten zhang tall, while others were a dozen feet high. Regardless of their size, all were hideous, with red flesh crests on their heads, sharp beaks and claws, emitting faint black light, and eyes glowing with ferocity.

They didn't immediately attack but surrounded the Lingshui Sect cultivators from all sides.

"They are Fiery Demon Birds," said Cloud Senior Brother. "You said that the域外天魔 stationed here were transferred elsewhere. Where did these demonic birds come from?" The white-haired old woman was furious, turning her head to the left in indignation.

"I don't know where you got this idea! Are you accusing me of conspiring with those outsider demons?" The red-robed, bearded elder also grew angry, his panic evident as he retorted instinctively.

"Hmph. That's hard to say."

"You..."

"Enough, enough. It's late now; what are you arguing about? I trust Cloud Senior Brother won't betray the heavens. These outsiders are cunning; Cloud Senior Brother likely fell into their trap. The pressing issue is how we can break through and protect our sect's legacy," said the white-faced elder, interrupting their argument with a loud shout.

"Cack!"

The cackling sound echoed in their ears.

These Fiery Demon Birds had completed their formation and swooped down.

"Die!"

The Lingshui Sect cultivators wouldn't sit idly by. They raised their spiritual treasures to counter the attack.
