第四千零一十七章 林轩援手

Previously, in the state of Lady Shangguan Yan, this punch would have been enough to block if it were directed at herself.

But with Sister and Ice Phoenix unable to move, their rescue was futile. Out of desperation, she could only use a clumsy method to hard block.

However, as a result, the two women avoided falling, but she herself spat out a mouthful of blood, like a kite without strings, flying towards the distance.

Would it collide with the mountain wall and suffer even more injuries?

But soon, she felt that she had landed. More accurately, she was caught and placed in a warm embrace.

"Idiot girl, how could I have gotten into such a mess just from going out once?"

A sigh sounded in her ears, familiar and gentle.

"What is this..."

Lady Shangguan Yan's consciousness was originally blurry, but because of that voice, her eyes suddenly opened wide.

Before her was a plain face.

Very young, yet filled with the marks of hardship.

His smile was so gentle, tinged with sorrow.

"Ma... Master!"

Lady Shangguan Yan almost couldn't believe what she saw. But the warm embrace was unmistakable; she buried herself in Lin Xuan's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

As if to vent all her sorrows and pain.

Indeed, she was now a lady of heaven, crushing her peers with ease. But before her master, she remained as innocent as when they first met, a little girl full of wonder.

Having suffered outside, she naturally sought the protection of her master.

"Enough, Yan'er, don't cry."

Lin Xuan, for his disciple, was very indulgent. Seeing his disciple severely injured, he felt both anxious and angry.

Dare to bully my disciple? You're asking for it!

With a wave of his sleeve, an jade bottle flew out. The bottle's mouth turned upside down, pouring out a crimson pill like blood.

Lin Xuan then handed the pill to the young woman.

"Thank you, Master!"

Lady Shangguan Yan swallowed it whole and felt her injuries improve instantly.

The master's elixirs truly were extraordinary.

Then Lin Xuan moved his shoulder, ignoring everyone else, and came to Lady Shangguan Ling and Ice Phoenix. Although that bald demon lord was ferocious, he was nothing but a minor troublemaker in front of Lin Xuan.

He paid no mind to him at all.

"Ma... Master!"

Lady Shangguan Ling's expression was also extremely agitated, her eyes filled with joy, and she had dropped a heavy stone from her heart.

In Lady Shangguan Ling's eyes, the master could do anything.

With him around, not even local demons or Heaven's fiends mattered; Lin Xuan could hold up the sky.

The danger was over.

"You suffered."

Seeing his disciple in such a bloody state, Lin Xuan felt immense pain and quickly fed her more elixirs.

A warm current rose from his dantian, spreading throughout his body. The medicine worked wonders. Although her injuries weren't fully healed, they were significantly reduced.

This pill almost had the power to resurrect the dead.

"Thank you, Master. The other companions also need elixirs. Please have mercy on them..."

Lady Shangguan Ling, originally severely injured and barely able to move, now recovered enough to bow respectfully to Lin Xuan and ask for more elixirs for her companions.

"Silly girl, what do you think I am? A miserly person?"

Lin Xuan spoke impatiently.

Then he waved his sleeve, sending two pills flying into the hands of Ice Phoenix and the young woman in purple.

"Thank you, Lord Alliance!"

Ice Phoenix was originally proud and haughty, but she was now humbled by Lin Xuan's grandeur. In truth, this celestial alliance lord looked extremely ordinary; there wasn't even a trace of his power.

At first glance, he seemed like an ordinary mortal, but upon closer inspection, he was unfathomable.

As Ice Phoenix, the beloved disciple of Black Phoenix Immortal, her master was a late-stage cultivator. But compared to Lin Xuan, she felt that her master was far inferior.

They were not from the same level.

But compared to Black Phoenix Immortal, she was indeed much less capable.

Knowing how obvious this difference was made her realize just how great the actual gap between them truly was.

Pride required strength as a foundation.

She was far less than Lin Xuan, which explained why she was so respectful.

As for the other young woman, holding the pill, a complex expression appeared on her face. Lin Xuan's gaze swept over her rugged and spirited face, causing him to look puzzled.

He seemed to doubt his recognition.

"Y... You are RuoXuan?"

"I bow before Lord Alliance. I didn't expect Master Senior Lin to remember me."

The young woman in purple bowed respectfully.

Lin Xuan indeed did not make a mistake. Back then, when she had just ascended to the spirit realm and met him on a small interface, they were both at low levels and had even teamed up to fight enemies together.

A thousand years later, Lin Xuan was now the celestial alliance lord renowned across three realms, while RuoXuan had become an advanced-stage cultivator.

At first glance, she lagged far behind Lin Xuan, but some things couldn't be judged by common sense.

Was Lin Xuan just a regular person?

He had countless extraordinary experiences and his cultivation speed was comparable to that of the Asura from long ago.

RuoXuan actually wasn't bad; she had already reached an advanced-stage in such a short time.

Knowing how powerful sword cultivators were, yet how slow their progress, RuoXuan's achievement was remarkable, thanks to her efforts and the Nine Spirit Sword Body she possessed.

Cultivation required both sweat and talent.

RuoXuan was already impressive, but looking at Lin Xuan still left her feeling a bit disheartened.

After all, back then their cultivation levels were evenly matched, but now it felt like they were worlds apart.

This disparity made anyone feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But RuoXuan's spirit was more robust than most men; she quickly regained composure and respectfully greeted the alliance lord before swallowing the elixir Lin Xuan had given her.

...

The entire process seemed complex when described, but in reality, it took only a short while—less than half a cup of tea.

That bald demon lord's face was already pale as he realized that the celestial alliance lord should not be here. Shouldn't he be at Cloud Concealment Sect?

Could someone have impersonated him to scare them away with an empty city strategy?

Yes, it must be that. He couldn't believe Lin Xuan would dare leave Cloud Concealment Sect during such a critical moment.

With this thought, the bald demon lord's face showed a sneer, regaining his defiant expression.

Just as Lin Xuan turned his head, their gazes met, and Lin Xuan's expression cooled down: "What are you still doing here? If I were you, I would choose to undergo a self-inflicted death. That way, you could suffer less."

"Self-inflicted death, what audacity," the celestial demon retorted: "Don't tell me you're just some fake rat. Even if that Lin kid is really here, what can he do? Do you think this demon lord would be afraid of a severely injured person?"
