第五卷 天云十二州 第九百二十三章 欧阳的消息

Xiao Xuanxuan's move this time did not employ any treasure artifacts or dazzling secret techniques. His entire palm was enveloped in a layer of emerald green flames, showing no extraordinary features.

Old Scrooge was taken aback; his expression naturally revealed some surprise. However, at this moment, he dared not underestimate Lin Xuan even slightly. A sinister look flashed across his eyes as he opened his mouth and spat out a bolt of lightning about the size of an arm. It attached itself to the yellow light curtain.

Lin Xuan paid it no heed and pressed his palm onto it anyway.

Old Scrooge was overjoyed, thinking that since Lin Xuan's Blood-Sucking Heavenly Thunder had such immense power, this opponent must be so arrogant as to think he could lose an arm. However, in the next moment, his eyes widened in shock. Sweet Mr. Xuanyin

Not only did the thunder not work, but even the ancient treasure's light curtain seemed like paper, easily pierced through by Lin Xuan... The Green Illusory Fiery Flame was incredibly powerful; even late-stage cultivators would find it difficult to resist, let alone someone with such a minor technique.

Old Scrooge's gaze was filled with terror. However, at this moment, there was no way he could escape. Lin Xuan's palm had already pressed down on his chest.

With a loud explosion, Old Scrooge did not feel any pain; instead, he turned into a green fireball and let out a painful scream. But before that, Lin Xuan had already taken the opportunity to send him off by using a piece of paper with a golden escape technique and an illusionary effect.

"Good move, but even such minor tricks can't save you," Lin Xuan sneered.

He waved his sleeves, sending out a green sword energy that circled around the second shadow on his left side. Blood splattered everywhere as a large head rolled off like a watermelon.

Helping someone is like delivering a Buddha to the West; Lin Xuan had no qualms about cutting down Old Scrooge. The rest was obvious: from Tianxuan Sect's sect master to ordinary disciples of the灵动期, all felt grateful towards Lin Xuan. The entire cloud mountain rang with expressions of gratitude.

An hour later, two streaks of light landed behind the main peak of Green Cloud Mountain. The air here was more concentrated than on the front mountain; the radiance dimmed as a man revealed his appearance.

The man was Lin Xuan, and the woman was Dixin, the wife of the sect master of Tianxuan Sect.

Since this was an old place for him, after killing Old Scrooge, he did not leave immediately. He had gathered many treasures in the Jiuyin Mountains and planned to stay here to practice his newly acquired techniques and treasure artifacts.

In the grand hall, Lin Xuan casually revealed his intention of staying here. The entire Tianxuan Sect was overjoyed at this news.

Apart from the great favor he had done for them, having an Immortal cultivator living here would be beneficial; they no longer needed to worry about other forces coveting their place.

Since Dixin and Lin Xuan were old friends, she took on the responsibility of hosting him.

"Senior Lin, this is where the Green Cloud Mountain's spirit veins spring forth. The air here is the most concentrated. In the past, Senior Taixiu's cave was located here. If you do not mind, you can settle down temporarily and I will make it a forbidden area for my disciples to disturb your cultivation," Dixin spoke respectfully.

Though they had some acquaintance before, their current statuses were vastly different; she did not dare to treat him as an equal or show any disrespect.

Lin Xuan released his divine sense. This place was indeed an excellent place for cultivation with air ten times more concentrated than the front mountain. The environment was serene and filled with ancient trees.

"Good. I will establish a cave here, thank you, Little Sister Dixin."

"You are too kind," Dixin said humbly. "If it weren't for your timely assistance, our sect would not only lose its place to cultivate but also risk losing my daughter to that Old Scrooge." Thinking of this, she shuddered with gratitude towards Lin Xuan.

"I have already told you, it is a small matter; no need to mention it. At least we are related, so I will not abandon someone in such dire straits," Lin Xuan waved his hand dismissively and continued: "There's another thing I want to ask."

"Senior, please speak your mind."

"There isn't much, but do you know why the Green Cloud Mountain moved from here to Yunzhou?"

"I am sorry, Senior, but I truly don't know." Dixin lowered her head with an apologetic look. Lin Xuan did not blame her.

After all, for a sect or family, the main base was always the most important place, and there must be significant reasons behind such a move; ordinary disciples would rarely know about it. Lin Xuan asked this out of a chance to learn more.

So Dixin's lack of knowledge was normal, and he wasn't disappointed.

"Then do you know anything about Ouyang Qinxin?"

"Do you mean Senior Ouyang?"

"Yes," Lin Xuan nodded. "How is she doing recently?"

"She and I are not familiar; I have only heard some legends." Dixin hesitated before answering honestly.

"Legends, could something have happened to her?" Lin Xuan's eyebrows furrowed as he asked anxiously.

"No, that’s not the case," Dixin was smart enough to realize that this Senior Lin cared deeply about Ouyang. Her face turned awkward; she quickly lowered her head: "Senior Ouyang is well. The rumors are because roughly ten years ago, she advanced to the peak of condensation phase and is now over two hundred and twenty years old. Such a cultivation speed makes even those with divine roots seem inferior. Therefore, there are many rumors that the Green Cloud Mountain will soon have another Immortal cultivator as an elder."

"What? Ouyang has already reached the peak of the condensation phase," Lin Xuan was stunned; he felt both surprised and delighted. He had only met her not long ago when she was just entering the condensation phase, but in less than a hundred years, reaching the peak of that stage would be considered extraordinary. This was even more impressive than his own expectations.

Of course, he did not include himself or Yue'er's cultivation speed; after all, they had experienced so many strange and dangerous situations throughout history, making it hard to find anyone who could compare with them.

Lin Xuan asked a few more questions, and Dixin spoke without reserve. Half an hour passed before Lin Xuan nodded: "Alright, you can go down now."

"Yes." Dixin turned around but suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Senior..."

"What is it?" Lin Xuan frowned, slightly annoyed as he wanted to rest in peace.

"The Green Cloud Mountain moved to Yunzhou, so I don't know about Senior Ouyang's recent situation, but her cave is still well preserved. Would you like to see it?" Dixin smiled subtly.

"Do you mean that the cave is still used by someone?"

Lin Xuan was surprised; after all, Ouyang Qinxin had a high status in the Green Cloud Mountain, and the area where her cave was located should have been quite good. Why would Tianxuan Sect leave such a place idle?

"Senior, you don't know that our sect has thousands of cultivators, but compared to the past, we are still lacking. Especially those above the condensation phase; there are only about ten or so. The Green Cloud Mountain's spirit veins are too large for us, so not only Ouyang Senior, but some good spirit veins have also been left idle," Dixin explained.

Lin Xuan nodded without showing any surprise. In the cultivation world, resources were tied to power, and these good places would rather be left empty than given to a Foundation Establishment cultivator; otherwise, it would disrupt the hierarchy of seniority.

Clearly, they had guessed their close relationship with Ouyang Qinxin. Since that was the case, Lin Xuan did not pretend: "Alright, I will go see."

"I will lead you," Dixin said obediently.

"No need, just give me the location and I can find it myself."

Dixin nodded and took out a blank jade tube from her pocket, pressing it to her forehead. Her divine sense quickly lifted as she respectfully handed the jade tube to Lin Xuan: "Senior, everything is inside."
