第四千零七章 暗度陈仓

Qin Yan was furious and embarrassed, yet there was nothing she could do about it. [..com

She glared at the other with a fierce look. "All you ever know is nonsense! Is this the time to talk about personal matters? The situation is serious; I need to return and discuss how we should deal with the Void."

Before her words were fully out, Qin Yan was enveloped by a bright magical aura that transformed her into a streak of light, vanishing from sight.

Watching as the Fairy among the Clouds disappeared, the smile on the Winged Fairy's face gradually faded. Her expression turned cold once more before she sighed softly: "Silly sister, do you really think I wanted to tease you? Sister did this only to prevent you from repeating your past mistakes. Whether it be immortality or power, the path of eternal life is merely a pursuit of happiness. In your previous life, you missed out on your destiny; in this life, I just don't want you to make the same mistake."

She shook her head and tucked away the strange weapon she held. A dazzling aura enveloped her as magical energy surged forth, wrapping around her body like a dark cloud before drifting off into the distance.

...

Lin Xuan was unaware of all that transpired.

At this moment, his avatar was stationed at the main hall of Cloud Conceal Sect while he himself was rushing to aid elsewhere. He was filled with frustration, having learned from the Spirit Water Sect about the current crisis and splitting up to support both sides.

However, in his haste, he had somehow gotten the directions mixed up.

It sounded absurd, but even sages make mistakes; true immortals were not immune to lapses either. After all, Lin Xuan had been too eager, so a small mistake was inevitable.

By the time he realized it, several days had already passed.

With his speed, he had traveled countless miles by then. When he finally turned around and rushed back to the main hall, the delay had cost him precious time.

Lin Xuan considered other options, like breaking through the void to go to another plane first before returning to Cloud Conceal Sect.

He had done something similar when Cloud Conceal Sect was facing a crisis during the Immortal Alliance Conference. But that was out of necessity; at the time, the situation for Cloud Conceal Sect was dire, and failure would mean the end of their lineage.

With no other choice, Lin Xuan had to take a chance.

After all, while breaking through the void might be easy, inter-dimensional teleportation could go awry. Even a small mistake could send him anywhere.

This time, he was indeed lucky; his teleportation was precise. But such an outcome was rare, and Lin Xuan had no confidence in repeating it.

In any case, the situation was different this time; Cloud Conceal Sect had been under siege for years, but they were still holding on despite unfavorable odds.

So why rush? It wouldn't make sense to risk everything just to arrive a few days later.

Mishaps could backfire. He might not find anyone to cry to if things went wrong.

In any case, such risky ventures should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Better to take it slow and steady.

But his journey was far from smooth; he encountered域外天魔 (foreign heavenly demons) at every turn.

Lin Xuan had no time for these minor pests but the demons attacked recklessly nonetheless.

He couldn't run away, especially since this area was already under their control. A detour would only waste more time, so it made sense to charge through.

So Lin Xuan didn't hold back; he killed every foreign demon in sight without mercy. He didn’t want his identity exposed and the attackers to be on guard. Thus, no demons survived his encounters.

This slowed down their journey somewhat.

...

Meanwhile, battle cries echoed continuously as法宝 (magical treasures) and spiritual lights flew everywhere. Hundreds of域外天魔 (foreign heavenly demons) and cultivators fought fiercely in the sky, creating a chaotic scene.

Occasionally,惨叫声 (cries of pain) could be heard amidst the bloodshed, as both sides engaged in intense combat.

This was outside Cloud Conceal Mountains.

Every day, such scenes played out between the two opposing forces. At first glance, it seemed intense, but for those involved, it was merely a nuisance and probing attack.

At least a hundred skirmishes occurred daily.

Thus, one could imagine how brutal the actual battles were.

After their last epic confrontation, both sides were now regrouping and strengthening their power.

Everything appeared normal.

No one knew that four women from Cloud Conceal Sect had secretly left using a hidden teleportation array.

...

About fifty million miles west of Cloud Conceal Sect, there was a vast wilderness with various poisonous insects and strange beasts. The vegetation here was more abundant than elsewhere.

Amidst the rugged mountains, countless valleys and caves dotted the landscape, with underground rivers winding through them.

The complex terrain provided excellent cover; even the divine consciousness of late-stage渡劫 (transcending tribulation) cultivators would struggle to search every inch of it thoroughly.

In a deep valley, some caves were scattered along the mountain walls. Suddenly, one of these caves emitted a faint glow before quickly disappearing again.

Then, a tinkling laugh reached their ears as four graceful women emerged from the cave.

They appeared no older than twenty, but each had a distinct appearance and temperament.

On the left was particularly youthful; her black hair cascaded like a waterfall. Her face was oval-shaped with a small nose, and her eyes were especially striking—almost as if they could speak, exuding vitality.

Beside her was another woman who looked similar but had a more rounder face, giving off an infantile appearance.

Despite their youthful beauty, both women exuded a certain air of bravery and vigor.

These were Lin Xuan's beloved disciples, Shangguan Ling and Shangguan Yan.

A person should be judged anew after three days; despite their unchanged appearances, their strength had far surpassed what it was before. Just recently, they had both advanced to the late-stage 分神 (divine spirit) realm.

Their rapid progress owed much to their innate talents and hard work but also to Lin Xuan's guidance. His teachings had saved them from many detours.
