第四卷 七星岛 第五百九十章 敌踪

Chapter 409 - Enemy's Trail

Lin Xuan squinted his eyes and reached out, tapping on the storage bag. He reactivated the newly obtained item with a slight mental command. Simultaneously, his divine consciousness emitted, causing the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring to emerge from his sleeve.

The moonlight also wasn't idle. With her jade hand, she formed a spell, and the Beast Soul Flag appeared in her palm.

It was no wonder that both master and servant were on high alert. These demonic bees possessed formidable strength. If it had been just one or two, Lin Xuan wouldn’t have feared them, but with more of them, even an old monster at the Core Formation stage would find it troublesome. Had it not been for the presence of a treasure, he might have already fled. Now, he was unwilling to retreat so easily; all he hoped was that there weren't too many bees in the hive.

Just as Lin Xuan was on edge, buzzing sounds entered his ears, and more demonic bees appeared before him.

However, unlike the previous ones, these two new bees were much smaller, with less vibrant patterns on their bodies.

Lin Xuan paused, a thoughtful expression on his face. Could it be...

Without hesitation, he injected mana into the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring. The ring emitted silver light, and several crescent-shaped moonlight blades separated from it.

"!"

With a soft command, those blades, laden with endless coldness, shot forward.

Three bees were quickly blocked by these attacks. However, the power of the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring far surpassed ordinary sword lights. Despite having already injected their venom through their tails, the bees couldn't stop them. With a 'puff,' the hive was split into several pieces, revealing countless yellowish-white worms.

Sure enough...

Seeing this scene, even Lin Xuan's composure couldn’t hide his excitement.

If they were young larvae, they hadn't recognized him yet and could be tamed slowly.

"Little Moon."

"Master knows," the little girl giggled, her hands moving like butterflies. Instantly, countless demonic mists poured out from the Beast Soul Flag, enveloping those mature bees.

With such a small number, her cultivation level was sufficient to handle them.

Lin Xuan walked forward fearlessly.

Arriving under an ancient willow tree, he shook his hand and a bag appeared in his palm. Unlike ordinary storage bags, this one was specifically designed for raising spirit beasts and strange insects by the Immortal Realm.

Though not the best, Lin Xuan's bag was worth several thousand crystal stones.

He cast a spell on it, activating the spirit beast bag. A brilliant light emerged from its mouth, instantly vanishing the demonic larvae within.

Lin Xuan’s face showed satisfaction as he turned to look at her.

Only three venomous insects, and two of them were clearly not fully mature, yet they proved so difficult to handle?

However, Lin Xuan felt no disappointment; instead, he was pleased. The stronger these bees became, the more his combat power would increase once he tamed their young larvae.

Lin Xuan didn’t intend to help. Little Moon could handle it herself, and intervening might hurt her self-esteem.

Thus, he began collecting spirit herbs from the garden.

These rare flowers and plants were nearly extinct in today’s cultivation world. Lin Xuan cherished them greatly, placing them in specially designed boxes with protective talismans to prevent their medicinal properties from fading before carefully storing them in his storage bag.

After completing all this, Lin Xuan turned around again. Little Moon had finally killed the three bees.

The master and servant smiled at each other. Little Moon transformed into a streak of light, returning to Lin Xuan’s sleeve.

Lin Xuan scanned with his divine sense, ensuring nothing was missed before leaving the garden and continuing forward.

But as he took his first step, his expression changed slightly. A frown appeared on his face. He shook his sleeve, revealing an jade pendant taken from a sharp-eared cultivator.

However, this jade continued to tremble, emitting faint blue light.

Seeing such an odd scene, Lin Xuan’s expression didn’t improve much.

He clenched his right hand and injected mana into it, but the jade remained unchanged. Sighing, he realized that without learning its cultivation method, he couldn't fully utilize the pendant's power.

However, logically speaking, he should still be able to grasp some of its functions. With this in mind, he continued to input mana until the jade stopped trembling and emitted a beam of light.

That light hovered before Lin Xuan for a moment before transforming into something resembling a mirror. Its surface rippled, revealing scenes inside.

"What..."

Lin Xuan only glanced at it, his expression turning grim.

In front of the Eternal Hall’s entrance, divine light flickered as someone continuously attacked.

Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted. Was there another cultivator besides himself?

The cultivation level of this person and the demon was even more shocking—old monsters at the Core Formation stage?

"Master," Little Moon's voice also sounded surprised.

Lin Xuan’s expression changed several times before he suddenly reached out, putting the jade back into his storage bag. Without hesitation, he transformed into a streak of light and ran forward.

Even with intruders, there was no reason to give up on the treasure at hand; now, it was all about timing…

Lin Xuan already knew their presence, but the two old monsters didn’t know that a young man had beaten them to it.

At this moment, both displayed their abilities, weakening the current restrictions.

After all, they lacked the master’s command talisman to breach the barrier.

A yellow light and a black aura continuously struck at the light shield. An old monster's attack was no small matter; the light shield dimmed significantly.

However, Master Kǔ’s expression wasn’t good. He finally understood why the turtle demon had dragged him here. For barriers like this one, if they were alone, it would indeed require considerable effort.

But with their cunning, they wouldn’t use full strength. Once they found the treasure, both sides would turn against each other. So, he preserved his strength.

The turtle demon’s thoughts weren't much different—working together on the surface but pursuing their own goals in secret.

This precisely gave Lin Xuan valuable time.

About half an hour later, a loud noise echoed as the light shield suddenly emitted extremely bright divine light. Unfortunately, this was just a last-ditch effort; it quickly faded like a bubble.

Master Kǔ’s face showed a hint of joy: "Finally broke through."

The ugly demon's face also revealed an excited smile as he licked his lips and looked at the building before him.
