第四卷 七星岛 第七百九十章 妖眼舍利

Lin Xuan's lips curled into a bitter smile. But the few people present wouldn't be foolish enough to stand there idly. With a wave of his令旗, accompanied by a low incantation, a small patch of purple mist shot out and transformed mid-air into a snake about ten feet thick. Its eyes turned blood red as it fiercely bit at the lotus.

"Hmph!"

Yuanke's eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips. She pointed with her hand, and beams of spirit light spread outward from the center of the lotus.

The snake's eyes showed signs of pain as its body began to melt like ice under the sun…

What terrifying divine power!

Even if it was those few Purple Robe Condensation Core cultivators, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit awed by this Snow Fox Clan’s princess.

Opportunity knocked but once; he had to take advantage of her being trapped and slip away quietly. After applying the flower's juice to his body, he had already masked his scent from Little Snow Fox.

Lin Xuan transformed into an inconspicuous gray-white lightning streak and slowly left.

He flew very slowly, trying to conceal his spirit energy as much as possible. Lin Xuan didn't want anyone to spot him again.

"Master, where's the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Art?"

"I don’t know."

"Well then, should we search the entire main hall of the Azure Phoenix Sect?" Yue'er supported her head with her hand and showed a look of difficulty on her face.

"Ugh, that would be too dumb." Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh. This girl was really cute when she was naive: "The Azure Phoenix Sect is so vast; important places must still have arrays set up. Searching the entire place would be as difficult as climbing a mountain."

"Master, you must have another way. Don’t keep us in suspense!"

"It’s simple—grab someone and use soul-searching techniques." Lin Xuan said calmly.

Yue'er nodded, agreeing that it was indeed a good idea, though slightly cruel. There were no other methods to resolve the current crisis.

Just as he thought this, Lin Xuan's aura dimmed and he landed behind some stone walls.

After a while, a cultivator appeared in his line of sight. He wore Azure Phoenix Sect attire but looked nervous, acting suspiciously.

His cultivation wasn't low; he was at mid-Condensation Core stage.

Finding the needle in the haystack, Lin Xuan quickly released his divine sense. There were no other cultivators nearby. Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he raised his hand, and a green light shot out silently.

He approached the man from behind, transforming into a giant sword. However, to Lin Xuan’s surprise, the person turned around, spitting out a short fork-shaped treasure that blocked the sword.

"Hmm?"

Lin Xuan's expression revealed some astonishment. The other party handled it so casually; he didn’t seem like an ordinary Condensation Core cultivator.

Then, Lin Xuan sensed an eerie aura from him.

Extremely refined妖力!

It was well known that although cultivators imitated the powers of beasts, they were still humans and thus had妖灵力in their bodies.

Although it sounded similar to妖力with just one character difference, it was fundamentally different.

"Hmph. The spirit form old monster's fragment soul I met is unlucky."

Lin Xuan coldly snorted, no longer holding back. A green illusory flame shot out and transformed into a fireball the size of his head, crashing down on him.

The cultivator’s face turned pale as he glared at Lin Xuan. Extremely refined妖力spewed from his body, transforming into a large black hand to catch the fireball. The power of the green illusory flame was formidable; even compared to top-grade treasures, it wouldn’t be inferior.

Not only did the妖气not stop the fireball, but it quickly eroded and ignited…

"Ahh!"

A scream filled his ears as the flames rapidly spread over him. He fell down from exhaustion, but a black ray shot out of his body.

Trying to run?

Lin Xuan’s face showed a sneer. With his left hand, he cast a Binding Immortal Ball that spun endlessly, forming a net with countless silver threads, blocking all escape routes.

Then, Lin Xuan grabbed the air and formed a green giant claw, which scooped up the black figure in its palm.

The opponent struggled desperately but to no avail. Just as Lin Xuan was about to use soul-searching techniques on him, a loud explosion filled his ears; it turned out that the black figure had self-destructed.

Lin Xuan froze, his expression turning very unpleasant.

Meanwhile, approximately one hundred miles away, in a small mountain, at its waist, there was a hidden cave where several beast races stood. There were eight of them, and two were at the Spirit Formation stage.

Suddenly, a tiger-headed human monster let out an angry roar, clutching his head with his claws.

"Brother Wang, what happened?" A dark-faced brute beside him asked concernedly.

"My fragment soul was destroyed." The tiger monster’s face showed pain as he said fiercely.

"A fragment soul being destroyed? How is that possible? With your power, the替身shouldn’t have been discovered by Azure Phoenix Sect cultivators. Could it be an old monster of the元婴stage?" The dark-faced brute had two sharp fangs and a very ugly nose; his true form should be some kind of wild boar.

"Yes!" The tiger monster nodded. He took a deep breath, calming down his anger as he looked puzzled: "That guy seemed not to be an Azure Phoenix Sect cultivator. He was hiding in the shadows, searching for something…"

"You mean the other sect’s old monster wanted to take advantage of the chaos?" The dark-faced brute's expression was extremely ugly: "What is their purpose? Could it be that someone else besides us has interest in the妖眼舍利, or did some information leak?"

"Brother Hei, you doubt me; I have always kept my mouth shut," the tiger monster’s eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion as he hurriedly defended himself.

"Haha, Brother Wang, why would I say such a thing? We’ve known each other for ten thousand years. How could I not trust you? But this妖眼舍利is no trivial matter; it is one of the Ten Treasures of the Beast Realm. With it, we can carry an upper-grade妖脉at all times and boost our cultivation at any moment. It benefits both cultivators and us beast races. That’s why we spent decades here, using a fragment soul to steal bodies from cultivators and infiltrate the Azure Phoenix Sect."

"Right." The tiger monster nodded: "Unfortunately, that treasure is too well hidden; despite ten years of effort, we have no leads. Fortunately, with the current crisis at the Azure Phoenix Sect, we can search thoroughly this time. But speaking of which, is Little Princess of the Snow Fox Clan really there? If so, we could…"
