第四卷 七星岛 第七百四十章 乱之初始

Lin Xuan closed his eyes, a look of contemplation on his face. When he opened them again, an ominous aura emanated from him: "Since you all are unwilling to compromise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Before the words were fully out of his mouth, he raised his left hand and flicked his fingers, sending several streaks of clear sword light that cut through the air like lightning towards his opponents.

"Are you daring to attack?"

The others were both shocked and angry. The leading cultivator quickly reached out and pointed at a floating treasure in front of him, while the other cultivators also rushed to deploy their spiritual artifacts. Facing such an ordinary condensation core stage cultivator, they were practically asking for death.

Despite the surrounding attacks from multiple cultivators, Lin Xuan remained indifferent. A trace of mockery appeared on his lips; it was now unnecessary to hide his strength any longer.

With a slightoperation of his internal power, a terrifying spiritual pressure spread outwards. Lin Xuan's body was enveloped in green light, and just the aura alone made several enemies visibly nervous.

"You are an Incarnation Stage expert!" The leading condensation core stage cultivator could not believe what he heard.

Lin Xuan did not respond but slowly raised his left hand.

"Wait, Senior, this is all a misunderstanding. Please let me leave; how dare you stop me?"

"Yes, hold your ground," the other foundation establishment stage cultivators also changed their expressions to one of shock and fear. But it was too late; once Lin Xuan recognized them, he would not let them go.

A true gentleman does not harbor grudges, a man of courage does not fear poison. Lin Xuan would not leave any potential threats behind due to mercy.

With a wave of his sleeve, a large number of sword lights flew out. This time, both the quantity and scale far surpassed what had happened before.

The cultivators were terrified; fighting an Incarnation Stage expert was akin to suicide. They naturally did not want to do such foolish things. At this moment, no one would heed their orders; they all scattered, prioritizing their own survival over anything else.

They fled in every direction, but it wasn't that easy to escape. Lin Xuan cast a spell and the sword lights swept across everyone like a storm.

Loud, agonized screams filled the air as several foundation establishment stage cultivators were instantly obliterated.

Even the sole condensation core stage cultivator was surrounded by seven or eight sword lights, struggling desperately but barely holding on.

"Senior, please have mercy. If you spare my life, I will serve and obey you," the man pleaded with fear in his eyes.

Lin Xuan showed no reaction to this; instead, he poured more spiritual energy into the sword lights.

A crisp breaking sound echoed as the ordinary treasure item finally couldn't withstand the onslaught of so many sword lights and was split in half.

Amidst the blood, a large head flew up, its eyes still wide open, not closed even in death.

Lin Xuan reached out with his hand, and a streak of light shot forth, enveloping the storage bracelet. The corpse was then incinerated by fireballs into ashes.

With his divine sense probing inside, Lin Xuan rubbed his palm, and a white light flew out from the storage bracelet—a palm-sized command talisman. His face lit up as he grabbed it.

Found!

He looked at the screen in front of him. While such a level of restriction could be broken with brute force, that would take too much time.

With this control command talisman, the process would be much faster and easier.

Lin Xuan poured his internal power into the talisman; it trembled in his palm as if alive. This was because the opponent had once consecrated it.

But such a level of difficulty did not pose any challenge to Lin Xuan. With a slight thought, an egg-sized strange flame appeared in his palm.

Bilu Illusory Fire!

The trembling stopped. Utilizing the power of the demonic flames, Lin Xuan erased the divine sense imprint from the command talisman. A red light shot out, and the restriction was lifted.

Relieved, Lin Xuan did not linger any longer; he enveloped his body in green light and quickly left the scene.

Just a short while later, several streaks of colorful lights flew over from afar. The lights faded to reveal several cultivators.

Three men and two women, one of whom Lin Xuan recognized—White Deer Immortal Child—and the remaining four were all Incarnation Stage experts.

This incident was unprecedented in the history of Mount Yinshan; it had even alarmed all the Incarnation Stage enforcers.

Although the bodies had been destroyed by fireballs, the battle scars remained clear.

"There are traces of blood and residual spiritual energy. This kind of damage could only be caused by an Incarnation Stage cultivator," White Deer Immortal Child released his divine sense to carefully scan the area, and he said with a grim face.

"Indeed, the fight seemed to end in an instant. If the enemy was a condensation core stage cultivator, they would not have the strength to kill several disciples so quickly," another woman in red robes nodded in agreement.

"So you think the murderer wasn't that fellow who disrupted the exchange meeting?" A hoarse voice echoed as an old man with a hunchback spoke. His appearance was peculiar; despite being an Incarnation Stage cultivator, he wore tattered clothes, giving him a beggar-like appearance.

"It's hard to say," White Deer Immortal Child showed signs of contemplation on his face and hesitated before mumbling: "He appeared as a condensation core stage cultivator, but now that I think about it, there are many suspicious points. Perhaps he is like us, an Incarnation Stage expert who conceals his cultivation level."

"That's impossible," the woman in red robes covered her mouth with her hand and looked incredulous. "There were nearly two hundred Incarnation Stage experts participating in this exchange meeting, including such a great cultivator as Yellow Eyebrow Sage. How could he deceive so many people?"

"It is not necessarily so; there are so many cultivation methods in the world that it's hard to guarantee none of them are miraculous secrets. Besides, Lady Zhang forgot how the disciples guarding the teleportation array reported," the hunchback old man's expression changed and rebutted with a sinister tone.

"You mean...?" The woman in red robes frowned as she was also intrigued by this: "The disciples said that their opponent could control an Incarnation Stage corpse."

"Indeed, I used the Heart-Searching Technique to confirm they were telling the truth. Lady Zhang, do you think a mere condensation core stage cultivator has the ability to control an Incarnation Stage corpse?"

"Yes, in that case, it might really be the same person. Since this is the case, why are we still standing here? Let's chase him," the woman in red robes said with some urgency.

"Chase? That isn't necessary." The hunchback old man shook his head: "Now that Mount Yinshan has lost its reputation and fallen into chaos, even if we catch this person, it won't help. Besides, as an Incarnation Stage expert concealing his cultivation level, he is likely a senior from some great sect. In such times, there's no need to make enemies."

"Can we just give up?" The woman in red robes said unwillingly.

"In strict terms, the chaos wasn't caused by him; it was due to the precious Longevity Pill. This matter not only involves late-stage Incarnation Stage experts but also resulted in the loss of a top-grade crystal for the Demon King. I'm worried that this will ignite war between humans and monsters,"
