第三卷 幽州乱 第四百一十三章 孔雀仙子

The lake surface split apart, and a light ball slowly emerged from within. After much hesitation, it finally returned to the ground.

Now Lin Xuan had to find a demon core, but its quality couldn't be too low. Since this was for ultra-long-distance teleportation, he needed at least a third-stage demon beast.

Though there were many mountains in Cangming Range, killing one with his current cultivation wasn't difficult. However, acting here wouldn't be wise; it could attract the Fairy Peacock, making him hard to escape.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xuan decided to seek out other places for a demon core. If all else failed, he might even buy one from the market, though that would take more time but was safer.

With his decision made, Lin Xuan left the lake bottom, carefully hiding his tracks as he headed down the mountain...

This departure took over half a month.

Knowing that the Fairy Peacock had already advanced to mid-transformation stage in this area, Lin Xuan naturally didn't dare cause trouble on her territory. He ran several thousand miles away and found a third-stage water attribute demon bird, killing it for its core.

Everything went smoothly.

Then Lin Xuan cautiously returned to the ancient teleportation array's location, encased himself in a protective shield, and sank back into the lake.

He took out his Water-Repelling Pearl and scanned the surroundings with his divine sense. Suddenly, Lin Xuan's face changed as he grew alert.

Strange traces appeared around the teleportation array. Could someone have been here before?

Though Lin Xuan didn't summon a treasure, his hand was already on his storage bracelet. He opened his divine sense to search the entire lake.

There were no signs of danger. Lin Xuan sighed in relief and bowed: "Junior meets Fairy Peacock."

"Recognize me?" The beautiful demoness's face showed some confusion.

"Haha, you jest, your fame is widespread. You are the lord of this Cangming Range area; I've heard much about you long ago. Today to see your beauty, it truly feels like a stroke of luck in three lifetimes."

"Three lifetimes of good fortune?" The Fairy Peacock's face showed a half-smile: "Humans love to be hypocritical. You fear me more than anything... Well, let's not talk about this. If you do one thing for me, I won't make things difficult for you."

Lin Xuan was overjoyed; his bet had paid off. The relationship between demons and humans wasn't exactly harmonious, but since the Fairy Peacock had reached transformation stage, she couldn't be judged by low-level demon beasts. Lin Xuan's confidence came from her lack of murderous intent.

"What do you wish me to do?"

"Nothing severe; I just want to know where this teleportation array leads." The Fairy Peacock smiled charmingly: "This vast plain is the heartland of Youzhou, right?"

Lin Xuan wasn't sure why she asked but answered truthfully: "I'm not certain, but it's definitely outside the Quinyi Mountains."

"That's good," the Fairy Peacock smiled. "Take me there."

"Are you leaving?" Lin Xuan was curious.

But her expression turned grim: "Why talk so much? Don't you know that祸从口出?"

"I apologize; I spoke out of turn." Lin Xuan didn't dare argue, knowing that strength was the ultimate truth.

He felt uneasy but had no choice. With such formidable power, he might survive, and since there were no other options, he could only take things as they came.

"Please step onto the array."

"Hmm," the beautiful demoness's expression softened as she approached the teleportation array.

Lin Xuan cast several spells into it, making the colorful light even more dazzling. He didn't dare be careless and joined the Fairy Peacock on one side.

The female demon frowned but said nothing.

In a flash of noise, both vanished without a trace.

...

The world spun as Lin Xuan had experienced long-distance teleportation before. He had already opened his protective shield beforehand, but the immense spatial tearing force still made him inject all his spirit energy to resist it.

The Fairy Peacock, however, was impressive; her face paled slightly, but she showed no signs of disarray. She scanned their surroundings: "This is the heartland of Youzhou?"

Lin Xuan looked up and strained to sense around them: They were in a vast plain with dense green grass. Some low shrubs surrounded it, but Lin Xuan wasn't sure where exactly they were—certainly outside Quinyi Mountains.

The Great Demon Lord Hundred Toxins hadn't lied, but thinking of the old bastard made Lin Xuan's anger flare up. If not for his stubbornness in refusing to hand over that map and forcing him to find this damn teleportation array, he wouldn't be in this predicament.

Lin Xuan cautiously glanced at the Fairy Peacock before them. Although she said she would let him go if she brought her here, Lin Xuan was still uneasy.

His fate rested solely on her whim.

Of course, Lin Xuan wasn't a passive person; despite knowing her immense power, he didn't plan to wait and see. If she intended to betray him, he'd have no choice but to fight back.

The spirit energy in his dantian was already调动起来,蓄势待发。

这时,灵凤转过头来,两人眼神一接触,林轩打了个冷战,仿佛心底的秘密被看穿了。

“怎么,道友想动手?”灵凤的眼角眉梢尽是嘲讽。

“呵呵,仙子开玩笑了,晚辈怎敢冒犯虎威。”林轩干笑道。

灵凤没说话,但林轩感觉身上的压力骤然增加。他心中骇然,只得调动全身的灵力拼命抵挡。

“咦,没想到你貌不惊人,法力却远在同阶修士之上。”短短几秒内,灵凤似乎就试出了林轩的实力。她依然没有动手,但在额头正中出现了一抹指甲盖大小的金芒。

那光芒璀璨夺目,让人不敢直视,并逐渐散开,化为第三只眼,金色的眼睛。

林轩暗叫不好,明知不敌却也不愿坐以待毙,正想祭出飘云落雪剑,却感觉浑身被某种力量束缚住,动弹不得。

这是什么神通?

林轩心中惊骇不已。看来自己低估了眼前的妖修,没想到事到临头连出手的机会也没有。

难道自己会陨落在这里?

这可能是林轩遇到的最大危机。

灵凤的表情阴沉下来,秀美的脸上杀机隐现,缓缓抬起一只手。刹那间,林轩感觉呼吸不畅,四周的空气拼命挤压着他。

这种巧妙的风属性灵气控制足以置他于死地。

林轩连一根手指头都动不了,只能咬牙运转丹田中的灵力,苦苦抵挡四周气流的挤压。

“徒劳!”

灵凤伸出纤细的手指,正要施展别的神通。突然,她脸色一变,像是感应到什么似的抬头望了东南方向一眼,随即收回手,化为一道遁光,几闪后消失在天边。

“呼!”

林轩长长地吐出一口气,毫无形象地坐在地上,心中庆幸不已。好险,差一点就命丧于此。但庆幸之余,他有些疑惑:刚才灵凤明明对他动了杀机,为何突然改变主意并头也不回地转身离去?

林轩望向东南方向,那里肯定发生了什么大事。他心中好奇,但更明白小命才是最重要的道理,不等恢复体力,化为一道惊虹消失在远方的天际。
