第四卷 七星岛 第五百五十六章 圣地与玉盒

"Alright."

After a moment's thought, Lin Xuan nodded.

With that, the master and servant set off. They transformed into two different colored streaks of light, like icebergs flying away.

Speaking of this mountain, although Lin Xuan had never explored it, he had observed it from afar.

Of course, it wasn't constantly erupting. Most of the time, it was calm.

Generally speaking, it would erupt every few months or so, lasting three to four days at a time.

This frequency was much higher than that of an ordinary volcano.

However, what surprised Lin Xuan was that the lava only flowed down to the base of the iceberg and then stopped. Otherwise, his den wouldn't be more than a few miles away from there. Although it had protective禁制, it would still cause trouble.

Not long ago, fire had erupted once, so now it was in a calm period. From afar, it looked like a huge body of water, dazzling and beautiful.

At this distance, with Lin Xuan's Moonlight's speed, it naturally took only an instant to arrive.

Lin Xuan stared at the volcano's mouth, frowning slightly.

The entrance was enormous, round-shaped, about ten or more丈in diameter. However, the entire cave opening was dark, filled with a strange mist.

This way, he couldn't see what lay below.

Lin Xuan released his divine sense, but it could only penetrate to around thirty or forty丈before the scenery became blurry.

"Master, what's going on?"

Moonlight wrinkled her delicate nose, showing a hint of frustration on her face.

Lin Xuan didn't answer. He raised his right hand and cast a spell. Whispering under his breath, he aimed at the ground below. A flash of green light appeared, and a ten-meter-long wind dragon emerged, roaring as it rushed down.

Wind Dragon术.

This was an intermediate-grade five-element Dao technique. However, Lin Xuan performed it effortlessly, showing no signs of strain. Even condensation core stage cultivators might not be able to achieve such proficiency.

With the wind dragon leading the way, the mist quickly parted. A green glow enveloped Moonlight as she activated her Nine Heavens Spirit Shield and jumped down without hesitation.

Moonlight's movements were swift; she had already flown into her master's sleeve.

Lin Xuan began his exploration...

At the same time, several dozen miles away from Icefire Island in a cloud sea, a group of cultivators was flying slowly. Their speed wasn't fast, and they were spread out wide as if searching for something.

The cultivators' realms varied widely, but the lowest were at the base foundation stage. The two leaders were high-stage condensation core cultivators.

One male and one female.

The man had prominent ears and a dignified appearance, giving off an air of authority. He was about forty years old.

The woman was much younger, in her twenties, wearing a red robe with bare feet. Her beauty could be described as plain but not ugly; she had some appeal, though barely two or three points of attractiveness.

"Brother耿, that guy really escaped here. We've been out for three days now. If we don't get any news, it won't be easy to explain to the大小姐," said the red-robed woman, frowning with worry.

"Second sister, even if I'm not clear on this, you and I are indeed too careless. We didn't expect a mere base foundation cultivator to have such courage. Fortunately, he has a坤明虫 planted by me. We can track him down from there. He did escape here; that much is certain."

"Alright. Regardless of how it goes, we must capture the traitor as soon as possible. Only then will大小姐 be willing to forgive us."

Before the red-robed woman's words had finished, a sudden cry of pain entered their ears. Then light began to flicker before settling down. A blood mist exploded in the air.

"What happened?"

The two exchanged glances and quickly flew towards the scene.

"This is..."

Seeing the enormous creature before them, the red-robed woman gasped in shock. The man with the surname also looked astonished.

In front of them was a ten-meter-long giant fish.

Not only was it huge, but its appearance was completely unnatural. Its head alone took up about one-third of its body.

With an open maw filled with razor-sharp teeth, like sharp needles.

"Scissor Fish. How is that possible? This is a genuine three-stage cloud beast. There's only one second-level Cangui Island nearby; it shouldn't be here," said the red-robed woman, covering her mouth as she widened her bright eyes.

The man with the surname's face turned pale. Indeed, this was suspicious.

However, before he could react, a massive spiritual pressure came from his side. He turned around to see a giant octopus.

Each tentacle was twice or three times thicker than a water bucket. Its entire body resembled a small hill. Its eyes were about a foot in diameter, expressionless and coldly staring at the prey.

The man's heart sank. The霸王魔章, although only an intermediate-grade three-stage cloud beast, had immense strength and thick skin. Usually, condensation core后期 cultivators would flee upon encountering it.

One scissor fish could be considered coincidental, but a霸王魔章 was different. Could he have fallen into someone else's trap?

His mind raced as his reaction was quick.

"Disciples, return. Set up the Three Talents Water Wave Array."

If they were to fight alone, they couldn't match two three-stage cloud beasts. Fortunately, they had a set of powerful array flags with them, giving them some hope of a fight.

However, the traitor had escaped here; was he planning this all along?

What the man with the surname didn't know was that several dozen miles away, a man with pointed ears and a monkey-like face had approached the small island. His cultivation level was only base foundation后期, holding an exquisite box in his hand, unwilling to put it into his storage bag.

Seeing the mist-covered small island ahead, the man with the pointed ears and monkey-like face showed signs of joy, especially when he saw the huge ice peak on top. The fatigue on his face vanished as excitement shone in his eyes.

"Haha. The legend is true. I never thought that Saint would be found in such a remote place, where not even birds can nest."

He clutched the box tightly.

Like finding a needle in a haystack without effort. He had been chased by several people like a stray dog, running around aimlessly. Unexpectedly, he found Saint here.

The man's mana began to flow as he prepared to speed up. Suddenly, his body slowed down, and he turned to look at the surroundings, showing shock on his face.

From the left, right, and behind him, considerable spiritual pressure came. Dark shadows moved in the cloud sea, several second-stage monsters appearing nearby.

At the same time, inside Lin Xuan's den, in the spirit beast room,

The little guy who had been wrapped up in silk for years finally woke up. Lin Xuan had come to check on it many times but found no signs of movement. Now that his master was exploring the iceberg, the little guy suddenly opened its eyes and sniffed the air as if sensing something.

The cocoon stood upright, and the little guy's gaze fell upon the man with pointed ears and monkey-like face holding a secret box in his hand.
