第三卷 幽州乱 第五百三十四章 针尖对麦芒

"Senior, please spare my life..."

Elder Hu's face was filled with terror. However, due to his earlier foolishness, he had already lost the initiative. At this moment, even if he wanted to resist, it was too late.

The ice and snow enveloped him, as if his very soul was frozen. His consciousness gradually faded, leaving a look of fear on his face before turning into an icy corpse. Lin Xuan's expression remained calm, with no hint of surprise or joy. He flicked his fingers, and several streaks of blue swordlight appeared, shattering the ice man into pieces.

Only a small bag remained in the sky. Lin Xuan casually grabbed it.

With his divine sense probing inside, an ornate box and a jade cylinder flew out. Lin Xuan's expression changed slightly as a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He pressed the jade cylinder to his forehead and flicked his fingers again, opening the box. A snow-white pill came into view. Yes, this was exactly what he had come for.

Lin Xuan glanced at the storage bag but didn't have time to examine what the unlucky soul left behind. He turned around and flew back to his room.

On the ground, countless patterns crisscrossed. Lin Xuan immediately recognized them as a complex array. His expression darkened as he released his divine sense. Soon, heavy gloom covered his brows.

The forbidden array had been tampered with by the other party. Flames churned violently below, surging upward with abundant fire essence. Although Lin Xuan wasn't entirely sure if it would explode, the situation was clearly dire!

Boom!

A few minutes later, a tremendous noise came from underground. Though not deafening, it certainly shook one's heart and soul! Lin Xuan couldn't stay here any longer but wanted to resolve the crisis of the spirit medicine. However, the array was too complex for him to tamper with recklessly.

Regardless, his own life was most important. He had no intention of sacrificing himself. After a while, he would send an audio message to Old Monster Xu.

With this thought, Lin Xuan flicked and turned into a green glow, transforming into a streak of light to return. But then he remembered something and raised his right hand slightly.

Puff...

A dull sound echoed as the golden giant hand exploded, retransforming into dazzling golden flames. The flames shrank back into a golden talisman.

Lin Xuan stored it in his storage bag; this treasure was extraordinary.

Looking up, Lin Xuan examined the huge ghostly hand above him. Without its master's control, the spirit talisman naturally lost its previous majesty.

This was one of the Ten Great Evil Talismans.

But Lin Xuan had no qualms about using it. He only valued its sharp powers. Reaching out, he summoned the ghost hand, which turned into grayish-black spirit flames before reverting to a sinister-looking talisman.

Lin Xuan carefully put it away and thought of another idea. Although Elder Hu was cunning, he was still an orthodox cultivator. Lin Xuan, on the other hand, excelled in ghostly techniques. Using this spirit talisman would surely increase its power. With this thought, a smile appeared on his lips but quickly faded.

Just as he had hesitated for a moment, the situation worsened dramatically. The ground shook violently, and some of the earth's fire began to spew out. The temperature around him continued to rise, causing nearby plants to ignite.

Lin Xuan swiftly turned, releasing a cloud of ghostly mist. In this situation, it was better to use the遁术from the Dark Magic Art.

Soon, a large cloud enveloped him as he transformed into a black streak of light, flying full speed toward his path.

As he flew, Lin Xuan regretted his actions. Even a wise person can make one mistake in a thousand. He had been meticulous with everything but had just acted hastily and killed Elder Hu too quickly.

The other party could sneakily arrive at the treasure hall; they must have known some secret passage. If he had left him alive, he could have used Soul-Scouring Techniques to search his mind for clues. Escaping would be much easier now.

Lin Xuan felt a bit frustrated but quickly put aside these emotions. Since he had already passed through once, the journey was smoother.

Soon, the poisonous river appeared before him. Lin Xuan dived into it without slowing down.

After flying for a while, the aura of spiritual energy in front suddenly became violent, like thunderous roars constantly echoing in his ears. Lin Xuan stopped and raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised.

Could it be that Fairy Peacock and that puppet hadn't separated? Lin Xuan's expression fluctuated between anger and worry. It was impossible; though the puppet was a creation from ancient times, it was merely a clay or wooden figure with only early-stage元婴 cultivation. With Fairy Peacock's power, she couldn't have been dragged into this for so long.

Lin Xuan wasn't worried about the transformed entity but knew that if either of them got hurt, he would also be affected by their perilous situation.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan released his divine sense. His expression softened as he saw what was ahead.

"Turns out it's him."

Several hundred feet ahead, two figures were engaged in a fierce battle. One figure was graceful and beautiful, emitting vibrant multicolored light. The other, a hulking one-eyed old man surrounded by dense purple mist—Ding Qing, Elder Xu.

Not far away, Lin Xuan saw the remnants of Gaya. This terrifying puppet monster had been shattered into pieces.

Fairy Peacock's figure was elusive, while her brows were raised in anger. The battle with Gaya had taken a lot of effort. After finally resolving that ancient entity, she faced an early-stage元婴 cultivator who attacked without provocation.

Fairy Peacock wasn't one to be trifled with; she unleashed all her treasures and fought head-on. After several rounds, she was not at a disadvantage but grew increasingly anxious and angry. This old man was also in the middle stage of元婴 cultivation. Though he didn't fear him, winning seemed unlikely. However, the blood参's effects were limited; he only had an hour.

This was one issue. The other was that Lin Xuan had been gone for a long time; he wasn't sure if he could handle the dangers ahead. If that young man got hurt, he wouldn't be able to obtain the Jingyang Divine Pill either. He hated this old man's relentless pursuit.

Fairy Peacock continuously used secret techniques but knew she had already expended too much妖力 in her battle with Gaya. Elder Xu Ding Qing's powers were formidable; they maintained a stalemate.

Furious, Fairy Peacock gritted her teeth. She didn't know that Elder Xu Ding Qing was equally anxious inside.
