第四卷 七星岛 第七百九十三章 雪狐王与大长老

A shattered crash echoed as Ah E fell onto the ground, her face covered in dust. Fortunately, she was a demon race. If it were a human, she might have already been reduced to ashes.

However, with his power restrained, the expression of this Snow Fox Clan's princess was also somewhat panicked. Suddenly, streaks of purple light burst from those bamboo stalks and enveloped her.

After the light dissipated, Nu Ran had vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, the demon race and cultivators were engaged in fierce combat. This small disturbance did not draw any attention from either side.

Lin Xuan was now thoroughly searching the entire valley. His expression was rather grim because he found nothing.

Could it be that the intelligence was incorrect?

Even the former Immortal Phoenix Fairy's den, Lin Xuan had visited. However, inside, everything was very simple and plain except for the dense demon aura. There were no special features at all.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel speechless.

After expending such great effort, he still hadn't found any clues about The Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Art. What should he do now?

Moon was also anxious, scratching her head. Although this girl's cultivation wasn't weak, her quick thinking didn't match Lin Xuan's.

A while later, Lin Xuan turned his gaze to the small lake beside him. There was only one place left that hadn’t been searched. Could it be...

However, although this cold spring appeared calm on the surface, Lin Xuan felt some resistance in entering it.

There was an indescribable feeling. Although an婴期 cultivator's power wasn't enough to penetrate the veil of fate, he still didn't want to push his luck.

Lin Xuan began searching slowly.

Outside, the battle raged on. The Immortal Phoenix Sect was clearly at a disadvantage but as an ancient lineage, their底蕴was beyond what ordinary people could imagine. Even though their protective array had been broken, other prohibitions continued to emerge. Leveraging their terrain advantage, they still firmly guarded the main hall.

The Snow Fox King was currently in full swing, with two old monsters of the元婴期 and several dozen condensation period disciples. With the help of阵旗, he couldn't block the opponent's fierce attacks.

The two old monsters were secretly groaning. They had the urge to retreat; if they persisted, they might fall here. The first line could be abandoned, as conditions inside the sect would be slightly better.

"Brother Hu, we should withdraw and use the Heaven Wielder’s Immortal Sealing Array later," said a long-bearded elder. A faint trace of blood was visible at the corner of his mouth; he had clearly been injured.

"Agreed!" another old man nodded. His condition was equally dire. As for the other condensation period disciples, they were more than eager to retreat after receiving the transmission. Several of their companions had already fallen in the previous battle and couldn't bear facing this formidable opponent any longer.

"Alright, follow my command and withdraw! Retreat!" The long-bearded elder issued a solemn order through his transmission. Although several condensation period disciples would be killed, there was no perfect solution to such matters.

Various streaks of light flashed as cultivators scattered in all directions. The fastest were naturally the two old monsters of the元婴期. With reduced pressure, the Snow Fox King sneered and didn't hesitate to attack the slower condensation period disciples.

To his surprise, he didn’t attempt to kill them; those insignificant creatures weren't worth his time.

Instead, he moved swiftly and cast a shortcut spell.

A flash of white light appeared as he blocked the long-bearded elder's path. He reached out and suddenly a silver-white giant claw appeared from mid-air, grabbing downward with tremendous force.

The long-bearded elder’s face turned pale as he quickly spat out an orange-yellow wooden ruler.

A trace of mockery flashed in the Snow Fox King's eyes as the claw collided with the wooden ruler. The long-bearded elder's treasure couldn't withstand it; countless cracks appeared and shattered into fragments, scattering across space.

This was the power of a later-stage demon race. The long-bearded elder grimaced; it was too late to dodge. His body fell under his opponent’s control.

However, this person had successfully cultivated an元婴, showing he was decisive. A baby with a similar appearance crawled out from his skull.

In the infant's hand was a small sword. He hastily cast a spell and vanished into the distance.

Instant teleportation!

If it were a common transformed demon race, they wouldn't be able to catch up. However, how could the Snow Fox King be treated as an ordinary one? With a cold laugh, he took out a pouch-like treasure from his chest and unleashed it.

Demon mists surged as a large net appeared in mid-air. The infant's face showed fear; he realized he was caught inside.

Suddenly, a brilliant sword energy slashed through the air, creating a crackling sound as a fissure appeared.

The infant was overjoyed and quickly teleported away. A familiar face appeared before him.

"Senior Brother!"

Seeing this person, he visibly relaxed, knowing his life was safe now.

Meanwhile, the Snow Fox King's eyes narrowed into a serious expression but remained calm: "I believe you are the Immortal Phoenix Sect’s Senior Elder. I have long admired your name."

"Yes, it is me, Yue. I have long admired the Snow Fox King's name. However, we haven't had the chance to meet. Our sect has no grudge against yours. Why do you persist in such a manner?"

"Indeed, there is no grudge between us. As long as Senior Friend Yue hands over his daughter, I will immediately stop," said the Snow Fox King calmly.

"I have never seen your princess. I believe our disciples would also not kidnap her. Are you mistaken or enticed by some bandits?" Yue Xiangfeng spoke politely despite his intense anger.

The situation was unfavorable; continuing to fight wouldn't be beneficial. He hoped to clarify the matter and resolve this feud.

Unfortunately, the Snow Fox King only sneered in response.

If it were someone else missing, they might have been able to negotiate, but Shang'er was different. She was not only his own flesh and blood but also the hope of their race on Demon Spirit Island.

Born with three tails, even a demon king in the spirit realm would be envious. How could he not take her seriously?

However, at this moment, he was also puzzled.

According to logic, they had already engaged in battle; the opponent wasn't foolish and should have handed over Shang'er after weighing the pros and cons.

But they still stubbornly refused.

Unless... Shang'er really wasn’t in their hands...

The Snow Fox King shook his head. No, that couldn’t be right. Ah Er had clearly smelled her sister's scent just now; otherwise, she wouldn't have run away so urgently.

Another possibility existed, but the Snow Fox King dared not and didn't want to think about it—his daughter might already have been killed by them.

With this thought, a heavy aura of resentment emanated from his body as he gritted his teeth: "I won’t listen to your empty words. Hand over my daughter if you know what’s good for you; otherwise..."

"How so?"

"I will massacre the Immortal Phoenix Sect and extract your souls."

"Oh? I look forward to it, but don't think you have such power," Yue Xiangfeng was also furious inside. His sect had already investigated and found no one who had seen that dogp princess of his. The other side was clearly being unreasonable.

As the saying goes, even a clay figure has three sparks of anger. He was an advanced cultivator in the后期stage; how could he be easily bullied by demon beasts?

The saying went: "Words are meaningless when not to your liking." Initially, he wanted to resolve this matter but found their behavior too unreasonable.

With his hopes dashed, Yue Xiangfeng flicked his sleeves and summoned two treasures. One was a flying sword, the other an iron ring.

Though they didn't look impressive, great cultivators' tools certainly had many secrets within them.

He then activated his power, exuding a divine aura. A heavy spiritual pressure descended from the heavens.

Even though he tried to focus, the area around him of several thousand feet was affected. Cultivators were fine, but demon races all showed signs of alarm and their movements became sluggish. In this moment’s hesitation, many were already killed.

Mostly low-level demon races, but the Snow Fox King's expression wasn't pleasant either. With a cold snort, he released a powerful pressure that made everyone feel as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

When the city gate is on fire, even fish in the pond are affected. Both sides' leaders were engaged in combat; nearby demons and cultivators all showed fear and retreated.

Suddenly, an open space was cleared around them.

Compared to the Snow Fox King's elegant demeanor, Yue Xiangfeng appeared calm on the surface but was actually somewhat nervous. He had only recently entered the后期stage and hadn't fully stabilized his realm. The opponent was a renowned demon race with thousands of years of experience; their combat skills far surpassed his own.
