第四卷 七星岛 第八百一十五章 同门相煎

Lin Xuan's face lit up as he flicked his wrist, and the large green hand transformed into a little boy, carrying the treasure in front of him.

The object was roughly the size of a fist. It wasn't made of metal or jade; although it appeared dull gray, it exuded an eerie yet beautiful aura that contained unbelievable妖力. Even top-grade crystal stones couldn’t compare to this.

It was indeed one of the Ten Treasures of the Demon Realm.

Demon veins in the human world were rare and hard to come by. If he could carry such a treasure with him, his cultivation of the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique would be much more efficient. Lin Xuan felt elated but kept a poker face as he carefully placed it inside an jade box from his storage bracelet.

His attention was mostly focused on the Snow Fox Princess behind him. Seeing no signs of movement from her, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, turning hostile now would be bad for everyone involved.

Carefully placing the jade box in his storage belt, Lin Xuan turned to the princess: "Princess, let's continue searching for an exit and explore this space further. There might be more gains."

"Agreed," Nu He said without hesitation. "Let’s start by searching around here; we can split up."

Before she could finish speaking, a series of explosions echoed in their ears. The ground trembled, and the air grew unusually chaotic.

Both Lin Xuan and Nu He were taken aback, looking at each other with surprise.

Could there be another cultivator here?

"It might also be demons or monsters," Nu He said after some thought. "I was attacked by one before entering this black hole."

"Regardless, let’s check it out; we might find a way to leave." Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and spoke seriously.

"Agreed, but be careful. It would be best if you conceal your aura. We can try finding the exit first, or at least avoid unnecessary conflicts," Nu He said with a frown.

Lin Xuan had no objections; in fact, he was quite impressed by her caution.

He then flicked his hands and used a technique from the Nine Heavens Profound Art to conceal his aura. His presence became almost undetectable, even masking his heartbeat and blood flow.

"Brother Lin has great abilities."

Nu He’s face showed surprise as she secretly rejoiced that she hadn’t acted earlier. The young man had endless tricks up his sleeve.

After a light chuckle, Nu He first placed her sister in the spirit beast pouch on her waist before opening her mouth to emit a stream of energy that wrapped around her body, vanishing from sight.

The Snow Fox Clan was naturally adept at illusion techniques; hiding their form was nothing new for her.

A faint black aura enveloped Lin Xuan, blending seamlessly with the demon fog. Together, they flew towards the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

Meanwhile, in a vast hall, dark magic clouds swirled and formed a pitch-black demonic cloud. Inside it, a figure flickered—Ga Luo’s ancient demon spirit possessing Master Tianxiu.

With a smug expression, Ga Luo's head was adorned with numerous snake-like tentacles that had already clamped onto the body of an cultivator. By appearance, this was none other than the current patriarch of the Xuanfeng Sect, Yue Xianfeng!

It seemed fate was against Master Yue; after separating from Snow Fox Princess to search independently, he found himself ambushed by Ga Luo’s ancient demon spirit.

As a late-stage元婴 cultivator, Yue Xianfeng had formidable power. However, before entering this place, he had fought the Snow Fox Princess and exhausted most of his energy, leaving him with little time to recover. His mental state was also affected, making it easier for the demon to attack.

Despite being at a disadvantage, Master Yue’s abilities still far surpassed those of two early-stage transformed demons. At the critical moment, he managed to escape using his元婴 technique.

Ga Luo wouldn’t let this opportunity slip. The demonic cloud swirled and formed several dozen-meter-long dragons that viciously attacked Master Yue's元婴.

The元婴's face was filled with hatred as it spat out a green bead the size of a millet grain, which grew rapidly into a dazzling light.

Unlike earlier-stage cultivators, late-stage元婴 were more solid. Even without their bodies, they could still exert significant power.

Master Yue’s anger and disappointment at being ambushed by an opponent he couldn’t see were palpable.

With gritted teeth, he drove his treasure towards the demon.

The magic energy transformed into dragons didn't back down, lunging fiercely. Almost as soon as they touched, the demonic dragons gained the upper hand.

The元婴's expression darkened as it saw its body being absorbed by those tentacles without a trace left behind.

"Consuming flesh and blood—could you be Ga Luo’s ancient demon spirit?" Master Yue suddenly exclaimed, his face changing dramatically.

According to their sect’s records, only one demon enjoyed consuming cultivators' bodies—the most vicious Ga Luo. "Oh, do you know me?" the ancient demon asked with a sinister tone. "Your abilities are not weak; you must be an advanced-stage cultivator. Hmph, Xuanfeng Sect's patriarch—how many generations have passed? If I didn’t need your元婴 for my current needs, I might consider sparing you. But now" hmpf, boy, it’s your bad luck."

Before he could finish, a stream of pure demonic energy shot out.

The dragon became even more fierce and quickly shattered the green bead into pieces.

"What did you say?"

Confusion flashed in Master Yue's eyes as he wondered if the demon was trying to confuse him. Suddenly, his treasure vanished, and he panicked without further thought, using瞬移 techniques to disappear from sight.

"Instant transmission?" Ga Luo’s eyes narrowed as he shot out a dark light with his left hand. The元婴 appeared, full of fear: "Impossible—your instant transmission can be broken."

"Hmph, what a joke of an instant transmission; you’re only using a simplified version. True instantaneous teleportation is a secret technique that only upper realm cultivators can master. I may not be fully integrated yet, but breaking your pseudo-instant transmission is easy," the ancient demon sneered.

"Body, integration? Are you not truly Ga Luo’s ancient demon spirit?" Master Yue's expression changed dramatically as he asked.
