第三卷 幽州乱 第四百三十六章 再遇琴心

The situation in front was unclear. The two practitioners were hidden behind the clouds, with a pink mist on one side and white cloud vapor on the other. Each area covered about an acre.

What amazed Lin Xuan was that he vaguely recognized the fluctuations of spiritual energy within the red mist, but he knew few high-ranking cultivators. Suddenly, a pleasant melody drifted into his ears.

Lin Xuan was taken aback but quickly showed signs of joy as he finally identified one of them. It was the Sound Wave Art!

This technique was renowned in Yanzhou's cultivation world, being a top-grade method. However, only one practitioner was known for it: Fairy Ouyang Yun from Biyun Mountain.

Lin Xuan had little affection for Ouyang Yunchen at Yuanshi, but he and Ouyang Qinxin were close friends. She had once helped him greatly in the past. Lin Xuan naturally didn't intend to stand idly by.

With a thought, he was about to summon his treasure when a streak of white light shot out from the cloud mist, crashing into the pink mist with astonishing force.

Ouyang Qinxin clearly sensed danger and sped up her melody as a colorful light shield appeared.

Boom!

The spiritual light flickered. The power of that streak far exceeded Lin Xuan's expectations. The colorful shield shattered after just a few seconds, like a soap bubble bursting.

The streak slowed slightly but still mercilessly pierced the mist.

Then, red mist surged violently, with white light occasionally flashing through it. After a moment, the area shrank significantly.

"Ouyang Junior Sister truly isn't ordinary; even condensation core后期 cultivators struggle to withstand my full power. She managed to turn danger into safety," a cheerful laugh echoed as the white cloud vapor dispersed towards all sides. Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed. This was indeed an formidable opponent.

No wonder Ouyang Qinxen had advanced to condensation core中期 yet still faced such a predicament. The one who initiated this attack must be someone else.

Indeed, it made sense now.

This was a middle-aged cultivator in his forties, handsome and graceful, but with only one arm. He had met Lin Xuan several times before; he was the renowned Senior Sword Immortal of Tai Bai.

He too came from Biyun Mountain, yet his fame far exceeded Ouyang Qinxin's. Apart from the two Primordial Period Supreme Elders, it was rumored that even the current patriarch of Biyun Mountain fell slightly short in terms of cultivation and power compared to him.

This man had a great reputation but hated evil with a passion. However, Lin Xuan knew he was nothing more than a hypocrite. During the siege on the Heavenly Demon Lord, they had secretly exchanged glances with the魔道. But due to various considerations, he ultimately chose to stay at Biyun Mountain.

Not for the sake of his ancestral duties but for ulterior motives. In short, this guy was undoubtedly shameless. However, regardless of his character, Senior Sword Immortal Tai Bai's strength could not be doubted. After years apart, he had reached the peak of condensation core stage, and Lin Xuan dared to bet that his cultivation and power far surpassed those of his peers.

棘手!

However, after several changes in expression, Lin Xuan still showed no signs of retreating. The pink mist swirled, revealing a young woman's figure.

She was tall and beautiful, her appearance unchanged despite decades apart. Ouyang Qinxin not only retained her youthful beauty but seemed even more radiant.

Her eyes flickered with blood traces on her lips, indicating the severity of her injuries from that attack.

Senior Sword Immortal Tai Bai also muttered to himself. The difficulty posed by Ouyang Qinxin exceeded his expectations. None of the few condensation core后期 cultivators he had faced before were this difficult to handle. Despite its renowned reputation, Sound Wave Art wasn't a fluke.

The longer they lingered, the more trouble it could cause. It was better to resolve her quickly; otherwise, other reinforcements might arrive and complicate matters. With that thought, he scanned his surroundings. Within several miles, there were over ten cultivators of varying strengths.

Fortunately, these weren't dispatched by Biyun Mountain but rather some onlookers who wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

A cruel look flashed in his eyes as Tai Bai raised his hand. A flying sword emerged from his sleeve and split into more than a dozen streaks of light.

"Shoot!"

With a soft command, those streaks of light seemed to come alive, vanishing instantly.

Lin Xuan's heart tightened, and he no longer concealed his form. His body was enveloped in green light as the Nine Heaven Qi Shield activated.

The other onlookers, though weaker, had seen enough to realize their danger. They opened their mouths and took out their protective spiritual artifacts.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The first target was an old man with flowing white beard, whose cultivation level was at the late foundation stage. His reaction was swift; before the sword could reach him, he raised a small, white shield.

However, this item couldn't withstand the power of the treasure's strike and split in two easily. The old man's head shot up into the air.

The others were greatly alarmed. It was too late to escape as their spiritual artifacts turned into mere iron under the sword light, falling from the sky, and they themselves became cold corpses with blood splattering five steps away.

"Finally rid myself of annoying pests," Tai Bai waved his hand, and those streaks of light returned to him. However, he suddenly changed expression, showing surprise: "Eh? There's still one alive. You... you're a condensation core cultivator."

A streak of green light flew over, revealing a young man with an ordinary appearance but familiar faces to both.

"You are Lin Xuan?"

Tai Bai's face was filled with shock. He had met Lin Xuan several times before, and this youth had managed to form a golden core in just ten years?

His expression turned grim.

In contrast, Ouyang Qinxin was both surprised and delighted as her eyes sparkled.

It felt like a dream!

Lin Xuan said little; it wasn't the time for old acquaintances. Although they were in a remote area of the occupied zone, such a commotion could attract ghosts and spirits.

Fortunately, Emperor Ghost wouldn't be here by coincidence, but several ghost kings would indeed cause trouble.

Lin Xuan didn't ask why they had turned against each other; he just needed to help Ouyang Qinxin take down Tai Bai.

With that thought, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve. The Snowfall Sword of Bifeng Mountain flew out, lowering the temperature around him several degrees.

Ancient Treasure!

Senior Sword Immortal Tai Bai's expression turned grim as well. Originally, he had intended to use smooth talk; if this young master of Spirit Medicine Mountain could remain neutral, it would be ideal. But Lin Xuan didn't ask for reasons and attacked him without hesitation.

Surprised and angry, he pointed at the Snowfall Sword with no second thought. The suspended streaks of light suddenly vanished as they met the Snowfall Sword head-on.
