第三卷 幽州乱 第四百四十五章 太虚真人

Also, it was a misfortune for the sect. With Zhang Taibai as a traitor, he fell to his own degradation and aligned with spirits...”

Ouyang Qinxin整理了一下思绪,缓缓开口说道。Lin Xuan scratched his head in surprise; how did this connection with Master White Sword come about again?

To be honest, while the man's character was questionable, his ability to stir up the Green Cloud Mountain certainly made him a formidable figure. Lin Xuan remained silent and listened intently.

Ouyang Qinxin briefly recounted how Zhang Taibai had colluded with阴魂, but did not go into too much detail. Lin Xuan understood; after all, this was an internal matter of the Green Cloud Mountain, so she naturally didn’t want to delve into it in front of a stranger.

"Master Tai Xu was extremely angry. Moreover, that rogue's cultivation level was indeed formidable. Thus, he decided to personally intervene and apprehend the traitor. Zhang Taibai, however, was incredibly cunning and managed to escape from our main force with some luck. Master Tai Xu naturally wouldn’t give up so easily and followed him here..."

"Could there have been a change in circumstances?" Lin Xuan wondered curiously. Logically speaking, an Incarnation Stage cultivator shouldn't face any issues. Even if he encountered the Ghost Emperor, he could escape without hindrance.

"There were not just those阴魂 creatures; the main culprit was a transformed-stage妖修." Ouyang Qinxin bit her teeth, anger evident on her face.

"A transformed-stage妖修? Could it be the Fairy孔雀?" Lin Xuan had his suspicions but didn’t show any surprise.

To be fair, only Master Tai Xu’s luck could have been so bad. A few days ago, he had tracked down Master White Sword to this area, though it was a conquered territory. His Incarnation Stage strength meant nothing to him.

On that day, he received reliable intelligence about his disciple locking onto the trail of Master White Sword. He rejoiced and was about to go eliminate the target when disaster struck unexpectedly.

He encountered Fairy孔雀 head-on; originally, they had no grudge against each other. However, this transformed-stage妖修 was in a foul mood.

The root cause was that Lin Xuan and the Ghost Emperor had both escaped from her hands earlier.

Lin Xuan didn’t need to say anything; when she and the Ghost Emperor argued, it allowed that cunning little rogue to exploit their disagreement.

But then, although the Ghost Emperor’s strength was slightly inferior, he was the most cunning of the four Ghost Emperors. After fighting Fairy孔雀 for several hours, knowing his chances of winning were slim, he resorted to trickery and fled.

Fairy孔雀's evasion techniques were also top-notch; she chased him tirelessly but eventually lost track in the Ku Yin Mountains. As a local lord there, such an incident had never happened before—being toyed with twice in a row.

The frustration was palpable. Just as he couldn’t find a way to vent his anger, Fairy Tai Xu encountered Master Tai Xu. The woman, known for her tendency to take out her frustrations on others, immediately attacked without hesitation.

Master Tai Xu was taken aback but had no choice; under the circumstances, he summoned his法宝...

However, what frustrated him most was that despite not knowing this person, Fairy孔雀 seemed to have an unbreakable grudge against him. Her attacks were relentless and deadly.

Moreover, her strength was still above his own, having reached the middle stage of transformation.

After a fierce battle, Master Tai Xu gradually found himself at a disadvantage, growing increasingly panicked as the atmosphere around him grew thick with killing intent. If this continued, he might die mysteriously.

Of course, he didn’t want to perish before even setting foot out. Since they were strangers, there was no need for him to fight to the death; he tried to escape.

However, Fairy孔雀 learned from her previous encounter and stuck close to him, repeatedly foiling his attempts to slip away.

As time passed, Master Tai Xu’s situation worsened. Desperate, he resorted to a secret technique that would severely damage his元气, finally escaping Fairy孔雀's pursuit.

But the matter wasn’t over. When one is unlucky, even drinking cold water can cause problems. After running for several thousand miles, Master Tai Xu was just about to rest and recover when he encountered the Ghost Emperor again.

The Ghost Emperor had originally set out to settle accounts with Fairy孔雀; a transformed-stage妖修 posed significant threats. Besides him, there were also Li Dayu and over ten ghost kings.

However, they narrowly missed each other on their way out.

The outcome was predictable.

Both sides fought fiercely, but the disparity in strength made it difficult for Master Tai Xu to escape despite his侥幸. He managed to return home but suffered severe injuries.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but sigh. This Incarnation Stage old monster’s misfortune was also a form of skill.

Of course, strictly speaking, he owed it to himself. If he knew the truth, would he have died from anger?

While feeling pleased at his misfortune, Lin Xuan didn’t show any outward reaction. After some thought, he spoke slowly: "Fortunately, Master Tai Xu has been blessed with good fortune. What does Fairy want me to do? I can offer no assistance; I am not a match for the Ghost Kings."

"Minor Sect Leader, you are too modest. We have no such unreasonable demands," Ouyang Qinxin’s face showed a hint of pleading.

"Oh, please tell me what you need."

"It's like this." Ouyang Qinxin hesitated: "Master Tai Xu managed to escape in the end but was severely injured by the Ghost Emperor’s power. At the last moment, he received a ghost claw from the Sky Ghost. Initially, it seemed minor, but later we discovered that the阴气 had entered his body and even began to erode his元婴."

Lin Xuan was naturally shocked; this power could directly harm one's元婴—something he hadn’t seen in ancient texts. The soul truly lived up to its reputation as a monster from another world.

"Is there any way to treat Master Tai Xu now? Can't it be cured?"

"There is a method, but we had to consult many典籍 before finding the solution. According to records of a great battle ten thousand years ago, a brilliant predecessor invented a 'Nine Yang Revival Pill' that could remove the阴气."

"A Nine Yang Revival Pill?" Lin Xuan scratched his head; he hadn’t heard of it before but didn’t find it strange. Although Spirit Medicine Mountain was one of the top alchemy sects in the Ghost Realm, they couldn't have collected every possible formula.

"Since we found a solution, your sect can follow suit. Could it be that such medicinal materials are hard to obtain?" Lin Xuan’s expression showed some confusion.
