第五卷 天云十二州 第九百零三章 碧蚕蛊

Lin Xuan nodded. Although Moon did not successfully form an infant, her cultivation had increased significantly.

Just moments ago, he narrowly avoided being tricked. Now that Lin Xuan was no longer in a mood to be polite, his hands lightly clasped as he began to use Soul Searching Technique.

In just half a cup of tea time, Lin Xuan's head tilted slightly and his face turned grim. Then with a forceful grip on his fingers, flames erupted, reducing the person to ashes. "Young Master, what happened?" Moon's face showed some curiosity.

Lin Xuan did not speak but instead closed his eyes. A flash of spiritual light passed through his body as he fully released his immensely powerful divine consciousness...

With the cultivation of an Incubus, Lin Xuan could cover a range of about one hundred miles if he deliberately extended his divine sense. His divine consciousness was much stronger, covering around two hundred miles with some fuzziness but still allowing him to roughly feel any movement or disturbance. Although he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, the slightest change would be clear.

Soon enough, Lin Xuan sensed intense fluctuations of essence energy in the southwest direction, about two hundred miles away—precisely the outer regions of Cangming Mountain.

Lin Xuan frowned deeply and did not hesitate to release a torrent of green light. He wrapped Moon with it, turning into a streak of green light that broke through the air and flew off.

"Young Master, what exactly happened? You can tell me now," Moon's curiosity grew as she thought.

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and began to narrate to her like he would a young maiden. These fellows turned out to be cultivators from Li Hai Valley.

Before this, Lin Xuan had already exterminated two ghost cultivators of the sect through Soul Searching Technique. He also knew they were planning to accompany several elders into Quinyun Mountain.

At that time, although Lin Xuan was curious, he did not take it seriously. After all, better to avoid trouble than seek it out. Li Hai Valley was one of the seven major sects in the Twelve Provinces under Heavenly Cloud, with countless powerful experts, including two or three late-stage old monsters. Although Lin Xuan had formidable abilities, he would not provoke such a force.

He had already forgotten about this matter when he encountered cultivators from Li Hai Valley again at Cangming Mountain, acting suspiciously. The results of Soul Searching further alarmed him.

Their goal was to hunt down Fairy Peacock and take herdemon pill.

Though the details were unclear, as just a Condensation Core stage cultivator, Lin Xuan did not know much about their intentions. But this news was enough to make Lin Xuan take notice—his friend, Peacock, could certainly be considered one… albeit an acquaintance made through mutual combat.

Moreover, he had benefited significantly from her without even realizing it. Without her injecting her essence light into his body, he would still have been trapped on the Spirit Beast Island. He always regarded Peacock as a red-haired confidante.

Hearing that she was in danger, Lin Xuan naturally could not sit idly by.

From Soul Searching, Lin Xuan learned that there were more than just minor minions involved; three Incubus experts had appeared.

One of them he knew very well—Heavenly Day Ghost Emperor! What a coincidence. The thought of this old bastard made Lin Xuan's teeth itch with anger. In Youzhou Province, he almost perished several times at his hands due to insufficient strength back then.

Back then, it was merely a source of silent frustration. But as the saying goes, "Thirty years east, thirty years west." Over sixty years later, after much hardship, Lin Xuan had reaped rich rewards—successfully forming an infant and advancing from the late stage to the middle stage due to consuming the Heart-Devouring Demon Peach.

Such opportunities were rare, but not non-existent. The initial stage of Incubus cultivation was extremely slow, while Heavenly Day Ghost Emperor still lingered in the early stage.

Given his nature, Lin Xuan would naturally not let this hateful old fellow go easily. At the same time, he could help Peacock out, killing two birds with one stone. There was no need for him to hesitate over such matters.

As for Black Tiger Demon King, Lin Xuan did not rush to deal with him. Although the Corpse Spirit realm was slightly lower, after receiving an ancient demon's arm, it should still be able to hold its own in close combat.

Dark winds ravaged and demonic energy surged, leaving no trace of flying creatures or beasts within a dozen miles. The battle between several Incubus experts had already frightened off all the lesser beings who could run away.

Hearing that her husband was being soul-robbed, one can imagine the pain in Miao You's heart. Filled with vengeance, she fought desperately, using not only her own innate treasure but also a dark green poison flag.

There were many schools of cultivation techniques, and witchcraft had survived to this day due to its unique advantages, especially in the use of poisons.

Inside that banner was a poisonous mist called Green Silkworm Pupa. Unfortunately, it was still immature. However, Miao You did not care at this moment as she sought revenge for her husband. The dark green fog revealed countless transparent-winged silkworms.

The Ghost Emperor was taken aback. He had only intended to avoid a direct confrontation with Peacock, but he now realized that this woman was no pushover either. Green Silkworm Pupa—this could be troublesome.

This was one of the ancient strange insects. Although it ranked far below Jade Net Weaver Bees, it was still quite troublesome. Fortunately, it was not fully mature...

The Ghost Emperor took a deep breath and released three small skulls. Each about the size of his fist, they were crystal clear and did not look menacing but rather like artistic skull bones! Miao You's face turned pale as she was an Incubus expert who had spent most of her time in Quinyun Mountain. She had read numerous ancient texts.

Her ancestors had also fought against yin ghosts before, and these crystal skull bones were extremely powerful treasures with rare materials for their creation. How could a mere early-stage Ghost Emperor gather the necessary components? Although Miao You was puzzled, she did not have time to think about it. After the Ghost Emperor released the crystal skulls, he immediately cast a spell with both hands.

A white light shone from each skull's empty eye sockets, cold and devoid of warmth! Simultaneously, their bodies grew larger, chomping wildly before suddenly opening wide, releasing three pure white flames from different directions.

Unlike ordinary ghost fire, these white flames, though emitted by the skulls, did not carry any aura. They collided with the dark green fog with a hiss. The Green Silkworm Pupa, originally a fierce poison in the primeval wilderness, was frozen upon contact with this strange flame.
