二拜表面不动声煮但暗地里却悄然卑起了耳朵对…逊冰次想要什么心中也是有几分好奇的。
Lin Xuan hesitated slightly. With his nearly peerless divine consciousness and the secret techniques he had learned, it was not impossible for him to eavesdrop on their conversation even if they were using sound transmission threads. However, after considering, he decided against it.
kě xī bìng méi yǒu tīng dào shén me duì fāng tóng yàng shǐ yòng le chuán yīn máo shù 。
可惜并没有听到什么对方同样使用了传音毛术。
After all, he didn't know anything about Fang's background, and that old monster wasn't someone one could easily deal with. If Fang somehow detected his attempt at eavesdropping, it would be a case of making things worse by trying to improve them.

在简短的说了几句之后白袍老者眉头一皱脸上隐现惊容随后两人便不停的传音对答起来了。
He decided not to take the risk. After all, this time, he had prepared to eliminate the Fang guy anyway. If there was an opportunity, he would use Soul-Pricking Technique on him.

林轩不由得略感犹豫以他几乎不下于大修士的神识再配合所学的几种秘术想要偷听时方传音也并非办不到的事情。
With his curiosity fading, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and began to rest. A meal's worth of time passed by.
kě xiǎng le xiǎng hái shì fàng qì
可想了想还是放弃
"Senior Elder Hai, since you've agreed to our request, I have no choice but to go around and check the area," a clear voice said with evident joy.
bì jìng bù zhī dào shí fāng de dǐ xì ér wù yīng lǎo guài wù kě méi yǒu hǎo xiāng yǔ de nǎ ge méi yǒu jǐ shǒu jué huó wàn yī shí fāng yǒu shén me gǔ guài shén tōng jìng chá jué dào zì jǐ zài tōu tīng kě jiù nòng qiǎo chéng zhuō 。
毕竟不知道时方的底细而兀婴老怪物可没有好相与的哪个没有几手绝活万一时方有什么古怪神通竟察觉到自己在偷听可就弄巧成拙。
"I won't break my promise; I will fulfill your commitment when I return. But I wonder when you two plan to depart."
xiǎng le xiǎng hái shì bú yào mào xiǎn le 。
想了想还是不要冒险了。
"It doesn't matter to me. You can leave whenever you want."

反正这次旅途自己也准备干掉姓方的家伙如果有机会的话再像他施展拨魂之术。
"Since that's the case, why don't we make it today? Let's set off now," proposed the man named Fang.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ lín xuān liǎn shàng de hào qí yǐn qù bì shàng shuāng mù yǎng qǐ shén lái le 。
想到这里林轩脸上的好奇隐去闭上双目养起神来了。
"Very well." Lin Xuan nodded in agreement with a very agreeable expression.
zhuǎn yǎn guò qù le yī dùn fàn de gōng fu 。
转眼过去了一顿饭的功夫。
"Friends, your actions are swift and decisive. I wish you a safe journey and hope to see both of you return soon."

好大长老既然答应了在下的要求那我义不容辞也就去巡查一番好了。”清朗的声音传入耳朵里面隐现喜色。
With the Elder Hai's words, Lin Xuan left the Hailian Pavilion and flew towards Yunling Mountain alongside the man named Fang.
lǎo fū bú huì shuǎng yuē de dā yìng liǎng wèi de yāo qiú huí lái yǐ hòu zì rán huì duì xiàn chéng nuò jiù bù zhī dào nǐ men zhǔn bèi shén me shí hòu dòng shēn ”
老夫不会爽约的答应两位的要求回来以后自然会兑现承诺就不知道你们准备什么时候动身”
Their cultivation levels were so high that their light formations moved incredibly fast. In just half a day, they arrived at a vast mountain range stretching for miles in every direction. The landscape was lush with abundant spiritual energy.
lín mǒu méi yǒu guān xì suí shí yào zǒu dōu kě yǐ 。”
林某没有关系随时要走都可以。”
"This is it," Lin Xuan said with surprise as he looked at the mountains before him. He had expected this place to be deserted, but there were still many cultivators coming and going.
fāng mǒu yě shì jì rán rú cǐ yǎn rì bù rú zhuàng rì jiù xiàn zài rú hé ” fāng xìng xiū shì rú cǐ zhè bān de tí yì le 。
方某也是既然如此掩日不如撞日就现在如何”方姓修士如此这般的提议了。
"According to my map, this should be Yunling Mountain." The man named Fang observed his surroundings with a similar expression of Lin Xuan's.
hǎo 。” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu shí fēn shuǎng kuài de dā yìng dào 。
好。”林轩点了点头十分爽快的答应道。
Although they each harbored their own intentions, on the journey so far, they had been quite amiable. They hadn't revealed any hostility that might make Fang alert and suspicious.
liǎng wèi dào yǒu zhēn shì léi lì fēng xíng nà lǎo fū jiù zhù nǐ men yī lù shùn fēng zǎo rì guī lái 。” jiàn tā men yuàn yì mǎ shàng dòng shēn dà zhǎng lǎo xīn zhōng huān xǐ zuǐ shàng yě shuō le jǐ jù hǎo tīng de yán yǔ 。
两位道友真是雷厉风行那老夫就祝你们一路顺风早日归来。”见他们愿意马上动身大长老心中欢喜嘴上也说了几句好听的言语。
Lin Xuan thought to himself, both of them were cunning individuals who could be dangerous if provoked. Although he believed this was Yunling Mountain now, for safety's sake, they decided to ask others for confirmation.
lí kāi hào yān gé lín xuān jiù yǔ fāng xìng xiū shì yì qǐ xiàng nà yún lǐng shān fēi qù le 。
离开浩烟阁林轩就与方姓修士一起向那纭岭山飞去了。
With his eyes closed, Lin Xuan released his divine consciousness and quickly located a few cultivators nearby.
yǐ liǎng rén de xiū wèi dùn guāng zì rán jí wéi xùn jǐn jǐn huā le xiǎo bàn tiān de gōng fu yī piàn cāng máng de shān mài jiù yìng rù yǎn lián le kǒu
以两人的修为遁光自然极为迅仅仅花了小半天的功夫一片苍茫的山脉就映入眼帘了口
His figure flashed into a streak of light as it flew towards the left side.
yuǎn yuǎn wàng qù mián yán qǐ fú dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de shān mài bīn fēn cuò luò fāng yuán zú yǒu wàn lǐ zhī guǎng líng qì jiàn yě bù cuò 。
远远望去绵延起伏大大小小的山脉缤纷错落方圆足有万里之广灵气件也不错。
Meanwhile, the man named Fang, who had remained in place, wore an aura of righteousness that vanished, replaced by a hint of malice: "Back then, you ruined my plans in Youzhou. I never thought we would meet again in Yunzhou. This is fate's way of saying your luck has run out."
jiù shì cǐ chù ” wàng zhuó yǎn qián de shān fēng lín xuān yǎn zhōng liú lù chū jǐ xǔ jīng yà zhī sè tīng le dà zhǎng lǎo de miáo shù tā hái yǐ wéi zhè lǐ rén jì hǎn zhì le méi xiǎng dào fàng yǎn wàng qù jìn jìn chū chū de xiū shì réng shì jí duō 。
就是此处”望着眼前的山峰林轩眼中流露出几许惊讶之色听了大长老的描述他还以为这里人迹罕至了没想到放眼望去进进出出的修士仍是极多。
Lin Xuan was surprised to find this old man was the Blood Demon Sovereign and Red Silk Fairy from ancient times.
zhè lǐ fāng mǒu suī rán wèi céng lái guò bù guò àn zhào dì tú yīng gāi shì cuò bù liǎo de 。” fāng xìng xiū shì yóu mù sì gù biǎo qíng yě yǔ lín xuān chà bu duō 。
这里方某虽然未曾来过不过按照地图应该是错不了的。”方姓修士游目四顾表情也与林轩差不多。
This person had a unique demonic technique that involved fusing his body with that of a beast, becoming half-human and half-beast.
shuō qǐ lái liǎng rén suī gè huái guǐ tāi bù guò zhè yī lù shàng xiāng chǔ què shí fēn hé mù hái méi dào zuì jiā de dòng shǒu shí jī dāng rán bù lóu liú lù dí yì ér ràng shí fāng yǒu le jǐng tì 。
说起来两人虽各怀鬼胎不过这一路上相处却十分和睦还没到最佳的动手时机当然不髅流露敌意而让时方有了警惕。
After some reason, he had been sealed for a million years. When he woke up, unable to move, he used the Soul-Infusion Technique as bait to lure two condensation period elders from Lingyao Mountain into a deal where they would use low-ranking cultivators as blood sacrifices in exchange for restoring his power.
lín xuān rú shì xiǎng páng biān de lǎo guài wù yě chà bu duō zǒng ér yán zhī dōu shì xīn jī shēn chén xiào lǐ cáng dāo de rén wù 。
林轩如是想旁边的老怪物也差不多总而言之都是心机深沉笑里藏刀的人物。
However, Lin Xuan had discovered and killed them both.

虽然认定这里就是纭岭山了不过为了保险两人决定还是再找人打听一番。
Later, when Tian Xiaojian accidentally entered his lair, he was caught by the Extreme Demon Sovereign. The two old monsters had come to an agreement—using each other's strengths.
lín xuān bì shàng shuāng mù jiāng shén shí fàng chū hěn kuài biàn suǒ dìng le jǐ míng xiū xiān zhě 。
林轩闭上双目将神识放出很快便锁定了几名修仙者。
The Extreme Demon Sovereign could be considered a genius from ancient times, but the Blood Demon lived for a million years, known for his cruelty and cunning that rivaled even the Nine-Tailed Fox.
shēn xíng yī shǎn huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng fēi xiàng le zuǒ cè 。
身形一闪化为一道惊虹飞向了左侧。
After some scheming, he fell into the Blood Demon's trap. However, this man was more shameless; he had even collaborated with the Soul Phantom. If not for him, the Extreme Demon Sovereign might have been able to avoid it.
ér dú zì liú zài yuán dì de fāng xìng xiū shì mǎn liǎn de zhèng qì sà rán xiāo shī méi yǔ zhī jiān duō chū le jǐ xǔ lì qì ：“ dāng nián zài yōu zhōu zhī shí nǐ jiù huài le běn zūn de hǎo shì méi xiǎng dào shí guò jìng qiān jū rán hái néng zài yún zhōu xiāng jiàn cǐ nǎi tiān yì zhǐ néng suàn nǐ mìng bù hǎo le 。”
而独自留在原地的方姓修士满脸的正气飒然消失眉宇之间多出了几许戾气：“当年在幽州之时你就坏了本尊的好事没想到时过境迁居然还能在云州相见此乃天意只能算你命不好了。”
Though they hadn't met in person, Lin Xuan knew what he looked like through the two Lingyao Mountain elders who were controlled by this old man. On that day, when they met again at the Spiritless Temple, Lin Xuan was startled.
yuán lái zhè lǎo jiā huǒ jū rán shì xuè mó zūn zhě yǔ hóng líng xiān zi yī yàng tā yě shì shàng gǔ shí qī de xiū shì le 。
原来这老家伙居然是血魔尊者与红绫仙子一样他也是上古时期的修士了。
After a hundred years, he remembered the Blood Demon had been just a condensation period cultivator back then. Now, however, he was an advanced Soul-Infusion Stage.
cǐ rén mó gōng qí tè nǎi shì jiāng yāo shòu de shēn qū yǔ zì jǐ de shēn tǐ xiāng róng hé chéng wéi le yí bàn rén bàn yāo de guài wù 。
此人魔功奇特乃是将妖兽的身躯与自己的身体相融合成为了一半人半妖的怪物。
Was it possible? This guy's level of advancement was unheard of. Could this be a Golden Immortal reborn?
hòu lái yīn wèi mǒu cǐ yuán yīn bèi fēng yìn le bǎi wàn nián zhī jiǔ xǐng lái hòu dòng tán bù dé zài lún xiàn qū tā yǐ mó yīng jué zuò wèi yòu ěr ràng líng yào shān de liǎng míng níng dān qī zhǎng lǎo yǔ qí hé zuò jiāng dī jiē xiū shì zuò wèi xuè shí cóng ér huī fù fǎ lì 。
后来因为某此原因被封印了百万年之久醒来后动弹不得在沦陷区他以魔婴诀做为诱饵让灵药山的两名凝丹期长老与其合作将低阶修士做为血食从而恢复法力。
The Blood Demon was initially not planning to seek revenge on Lin Xuan; after all, the latter had become much stronger than before and didn't need such an enemy.
què bèi lín xuān zhuàng pò jiān jì zhǎn shā le pàn nì 。
却被林轩撞破奸计斩杀了叛逆。
Despite his bloodthirsty nature, the Blood Demon Sovereign knew how to assess situations.
hòu lái tián xiǎo jiàn yòu wù rù tā de mó xué zhī zhōng jīng lì zhǒng zhǒng qū zhé zhè jiā huo bèi jí è mó zūn zhuā zhù liǎng gè lǎo guài wù hái céng jīng dá chéng cǐ xié yì de 。
后来田小剑又误入他的魔穴之中经历种种曲折这家伙被极恶魔尊抓住两个老怪物还曾经达成此协议的。
However, something happened that changed his mind.
dāng rán shì hù xiāng lì yòng shuō qǐ lái jí è mó zūn yě suàn yí dài rén jié le kě xuè mó huó le bǎi wàn nián xiōng cán zàn qiě bù shuō lùn jiǎo huá chéng dù jiǎn zhí pì měi jiǔ wěi tiān hú 。
当然是互相利用说起来极恶魔尊也算一代人杰了可血魔活了百万年凶残暂且不说论狡猾程度简直媲美九尾天狐。
It turned out that Lin Xuan's Soul-Infusion Technique was obtained by prying into the minds of two traitors after he had killed them. The techniques those traitors possessed were taught by the Blood Demon himself.
yī fān suàn jì zhī hòu jí è mó zūn luò rù le tā de xiàn jǐng zhī zhōng hòu lái zhè jiā huo gèng wú chǐ de yǔ yīn hún hé zuò fǒu zé jí è mó zūn dào yě bù yí dìng huì mò bài
一番算计之后极恶魔尊落入了他的陷阱之中后来这家伙更无耻的与阴魂合作否则极恶魔尊倒也不一定会陌拜
On the surface, it seemed the Blood Demon Sovereign offered these unique techniques to buy their loyalty since his body couldn't move and he needed large amounts of cultivators' flesh to restore his strength.
dāng nián tā suī rán bìng wèi yǔ lín xuān jiàn miàn dàn tōng guò nà liǎng gè bèi tā kòng zhì de líng yào shān zhǎng lǎo zǎo yǐ zhī dào lín xuān zhǎng shén me mō yàng 。
当年他虽然并未与林轩见面但通过那两个被他控制的灵药山长老早已知道林轩长什么摸样。
However, there was more to it than that.
nà rì xuǎn zé dòng fǔ zài xū líng diàn chóng féng tā yě shì bèi xià le yī tiào 。
那日选择洞府在虚灵殿重逢他也是被吓了一跳。
In ancient times, this man was a notorious demon who had no qualms about anything. After practicing the bizarre technique that fused human and beast bodies, he became half-human and half-beast. Consuming other cultivators' golden cores and Soul-Infusion Stage bodies greatly benefited him as an evolved creature.
bì jìng hái bú dào yì bǎi nián jì de lín xuān huài tā hǎo shì zhī shí bù guò shì yī qū qū de níng dān qī xiū shì kě xiàn zài jū rán wù yīng zhōng qī 。
毕竟还不到一百年记得林轩坏他好事之时不过是一区区的凝丹期修士可现在居然兀婴中期。
However, true spiritual elixirs weren't just Soul-Infusion Stages; they were the Spirit Infusion Technique's fully matured spirit-infused entities.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò zhè zhǒng shēng jí dù jiǎn zhí wén suǒ wèi wén de mò fēi zhè xiǎo zi jìng shì shàng jiè de jīn xiān zhuǎn shì
有没有搞错这种升级度简直闻所未闻的莫非这小子竟是上界的金仙转世
This was a strange point. The spirit-infused entity was merely a clever workaround with lesser powers compared to a true Soul-Infusion Stage. Why did it have such significant benefits? The reason remained unknown.
xīn zhōng jīng yí qí zhōng zuì kāi shǐ tā dào yě méi yǒu dǎ suàn zhǎo lín xuān bào chóu bì jìng cǐ zi de xiū wèi yǐ jīn fēi xī bǐ méi bì yào wèi dāng nián de yuān chóu shù zhè me yí gè dà dí 。
心中惊疑其中最开始他到也没有打算找林轩报仇毕竟此子的修为已今非昔比没必要为当年的冤仇树这么一个大敌。
So, he had deceived those traitors by telling them to practice the Spirit Infusion Technique; his intentions were as simple as planting spiritual elixirs. Even if they didn't die at Lin Xuan's hands, once their spirit-infused entities formed, they would surely be consumed and devoured alive by the Blood Demon.
xuè mó zūn zhě suī shì yá zì … nì … zhù gé dàn yě shì hěn dǒng de shěn shí duó shì de 。
血魔尊者虽是睚眦…腻…注格但也是很懂得审时度势的。
After the world-altering changes, he had come to Yunzhou and lured several condensation period cultivators into practicing the Spirit Infusion Technique. However, only a few managed to form spirit-infused entities, and all of them eventually died at his hands.
rán ér hòu miàn yí gè xiàn ràng tā gǎi biàn le jiān yì 。
然而后面一个现让他改变了尖意。
The Blood Demon found this method too time-consuming and labor-intensive compared to seeking other spiritual elixirs with less effort.
mó yīng
魔婴
However, meeting Lin Xuan brought him great joy.
yào zhī dào lín xuān de mó yīng jué jiù shì zhǎn shā le liǎng gè pàn nì zhī hòu tōng guò bō hún zhī wèi dé dào de ér liǎng gè pàn tú shǒu zhōng de gōng fǎ què shì xuè mó chuán shòu 。
要知道林轩的魔婴诀就是斩杀了两个叛逆之后通过拨魂之未得到的而两个叛徒手中的功法却是血魔传授。
Though he had never practiced the Spirit Infusion Technique himself, he was sensitive to the effects it had on beasts. This guy not only had a mid-stage Soul-Infusion Stage but also a fully matured spirit-infused entity.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn xuè mó zūn zhě jiāng zhè qí miào de gōng fǎ ná chū shì wèi le shōu mǎi liǎng gè pàn tú bì jìng tā nà shí dòng tán bù dé shēn tǐ xiǎng yào huī fù xū yào dà liàng xiū shì xuè ròu de 。
表面上看血魔尊者将这奇妙的功法拿出是为了收买两个叛徒毕竟他那时动弹不得身体想要恢复需要大量修士血肉的。
For him, this was an irresistible temptation. A simple spirit-infused entity already greatly benefited him, and the technique clearly stated that one needed both a soul-infusion stage and spirit-infused entity to be the best candidate for such a spiritual elixir.
qí shí zhēn zhèng de yuán yīn bìng bù jǐn yú cǐ 。
其实真正的原因并不仅于此。
This elixir had no benefits for other cultivators but would have almost unimaginable effects on his half-human, half-beast form. He was stuck at mid-stage Soul-Infusion Stage for a long time, and eating this elixir could definitely advance him to the Great Immortal stage.
zài shàng gǔ zhī shí zhè jiā huo jiù shì yī zhù míng de mó chā wèi le tí shēng xiū wèi jī hū méi yǒu rèn hé gù jì wú suǒ bù yòng qí jí liàn le nà jiāng yāo zú yǔ zì jǐ de shēn tǐ róng hé de gǔ guài gōng fǎ yǐ hòu tā gèng huà wèi le bàn yāo zhī tǐ yán gé shuō lái yǐ jīng bù suàn rén lèi le 。
在上古之时这家伙就是一著名的魔叉为了提升修为几乎没有任何顾忌无所不用其极练了那将妖族与自己的身体融合的古怪功法以后他更化为了半妖之体严格说来已经不算人类了。
The thought of it was so tempting that Lin Xuan was like an elixir for him.
tūn shí xiū shì de jīn dān wù yīng duì yú huà xíng qī yāo zú dà yǒu hǎo chù tā rú jīn yě shì tóng yàng de 。
吞食修士的金丹兀婴对于化形期妖族大有好处他如今也是同样的。
After all, candidates with both soul-infusions were rare; yin-yang energy couldn't coexist in cultivators' bodies. It was said that one needed a secret technique called Yin-Yang Technique to solve this problem.
rán ér zhēn zhèng de líng dān miào yào hái bìng bú shì wù yīng 。
然而真正的灵丹妙药还并不是兀婴。
However, even during ancient times, few cultivators knew the Yin-Yang Technique, and those who did were almost all powerful. The Blood Demon himself wasn't proficient in it either.
ér shì mó yīng jué dà chéng suǒ liàn huà chū lái de mó yīng 。
而是魔婴诀大成所炼化出来的魔婴。
Over these years, he had heard that neither Youzhou nor his newly arrived world had ever heard of the Yin-Yang Technique; it seemed to have long been lost.
shuō qǐ lái zhè yì diǎn bǐ jiào qí guài mó yīng bù guò shì qǔ qiǎo de dōng xī shén tōng yǔ wù yīng xiāng bǐ míng míng yuǎn yuǎn bù jí duì tā wèi hé gōng xiào yào dà yī cǐ qí zhōng yǒu shén me yǐn mì rú jīn yǐ bù dé ér zhī 。
说起来这一点比较奇怪魔婴不过是取巧的东西神通与兀婴相比明明远远不及对他为何功效要大一此其中有什么隐秘如今已不得而知。
This elixir required both a soul-infusion stage and spirit-infused entity from the same person. After losing hope when the Yin-Yang Technique was lost, he never expected this.
suǒ yǐ tā dāng shí piàn liǎng gè pàn tú liàn mó yīng jué gēn běn jiù méi yǒu ān shén me hǎo xīn qí yì tú jiǎn zhí jiù gēn zhòng zhí líng yào chà bu duō cáo yuè zhōu miǎn jí shǐ méi yǒu sǐ zài lín xuān shǒu zhōng yí dàn mó yīng huà chéng yě kěn dìng bèi xuè mó shēng tūn huó pōu 。
所以他当时骗两个叛徒练魔婴诀根本就没有安什么好心其意图简直就跟种植灵药差不多曹月周冕即使没有死在林轩手中一旦魔婴化成也肯定被血魔生吞活剖。
Now, it was an unexpected windfall. Killing this guy would allow him to advance to Great Immortal.
tiān dì yì biàn yǐ hòu tā jiù dào le yún zhōu yě céng jiāng zhuā guò jǐ míng níng dān xiū shì piàn qí xiū liàn mó yīng jué de 。
天地异变以后他就到了云州也曾将抓过几名凝丹修士骗其修炼魔婴诀的。
Such an opportunity couldn't be missed, but he knew he shouldn't act rashly. The man before him wasn't a soft target; not only was he at the same cultivation stage as himself, but he also had both soul-infusions and spirit-infused entities.
rán ér mó yīng huà chéng suī rán bù jí zhēn zhèng níng jié wù yīng nà me jiān nán néng bàn dào de yě zhe shí bù duō shí jǐ gè xiū shì yě zhǐ huà chū lái yí gè 。
然而魔婴化成虽然不及真正凝结兀婴那么艰难能办到的也着实不多十几个修士也只化出来一个。
Although his spirit-infused entity might not match that of a true Soul-Infusion Stage cultivator in power, their combined strength couldn't be underestimated.
zuì hòu suǒ yǒu rén dāng rán dōu sǐ zài le tā de shǒu zhōng 。
最后所有人当然都死在了他的手中。
Still, given his higher cultivation level and the powerful techniques and evil artifacts he possessed, he believed he could still have a chance against this guy even if it was a mid-stage Soul-Infusion Stage.
xuè mó jué de zhè bú shì yí gè hǎo fāng fǎ tài guò hào shí hào lì hái bù rú xún zhǎo bié de líng dān miào yào qīng sōng yī cǐ 。
血魔觉得这不是一个好方法太过耗时耗力还不如寻找别的灵丹妙药轻松一此。
This old man's patience was legendary; he joined Stone City despite not knowing the reason but to make things easier for himself.
ér jiàn dào lín xuān yǐ hòu què ràng tā kuáng xǐ 。
而见到林轩以后却让他狂喜。
He waited until Lin Xuan arrived before joining, hoping to avoid unnecessary conflicts with other Soul-Infusion Stage cultivators around them. However, this time, they were alone, and the opportunity had finally come into his hands.
Lin Xuan hesitated slightly. With his nearly peerless divine consciousness and the secret techniques he had learned, it was not impossible for him to eavesdrop on their conversation even if they were using sound transmission threads. However, after considering, he decided against it.
After all, he didn't know anything about Fang's background, and that old monster wasn't someone one could easily deal with. If Fang somehow detected his attempt at eavesdropping, it would be a case of making things worse by trying to improve them.
He decided not to take the risk. After all, this time, he had prepared to eliminate the Fang guy anyway. If there was an opportunity, he would use Soul-Pricking Technique on him.
With his curiosity fading, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and began to rest. A meal's worth of time passed by.
"Senior Elder Hai, since you've agreed to our request, I have no choice but to go around and check the area," a clear voice said with evident joy.
"I won't break my promise; I will fulfill your commitment when I return. But I wonder when you two plan to depart."
"It doesn't matter to me. You can leave whenever you want."
"Since that's the case, why don't we make it today? Let's set off now," proposed the man named Fang.
"Very well." Lin Xuan nodded in agreement with a very agreeable expression.
"Friends, your actions are swift and decisive. I wish you a safe journey and hope to see both of you return soon."
With the Elder Hai's words, Lin Xuan left the Hailian Pavilion and flew towards Yunling Mountain alongside the man named Fang.
Their cultivation levels were so high that their light formations moved incredibly fast. In just half a day, they arrived at a vast mountain range stretching for miles in every direction. The landscape was lush with abundant spiritual energy.
"This is it," Lin Xuan said with surprise as he looked at the mountains before him. He had expected this place to be deserted, but there were still many cultivators coming and going.
"According to my map, this should be Yunling Mountain." The man named Fang observed his surroundings with a similar expression of Lin Xuan's.
Although they each harbored their own intentions, on the journey so far, they had been quite amiable. They hadn't revealed any hostility that might make Fang alert and suspicious.
Lin Xuan thought to himself, both of them were cunning individuals who could be dangerous if provoked. Although he believed this was Yunling Mountain now, for safety's sake, they decided to ask others for confirmation.
With his eyes closed, Lin Xuan released his divine consciousness and quickly located a few cultivators nearby.
His figure flashed into a streak of light as it flew towards the left side.
Meanwhile, the man named Fang, who had remained in place, wore an aura of righteousness that vanished, replaced by a hint of malice: "Back then, you ruined my plans in Youzhou. I never thought we would meet again in Yunzhou. This is fate's way of saying your luck has run out."
Lin Xuan was surprised to find this old man was the Blood Demon Sovereign and Red Silk Fairy from ancient times.
This person had a unique demonic technique that involved fusing his body with that of a beast, becoming half-human and half-beast.
After some reason, he had been sealed for a million years. When he woke up, unable to move, he used the Soul-Infusion Technique as bait to lure two condensation period elders from Lingyao Mountain into a deal where they would use low-ranking cultivators as blood sacrifices in exchange for restoring his power.
However, Lin Xuan had discovered and killed them both.
Later, when Tian Xiaojian accidentally entered his lair, he was caught by the Extreme Demon Sovereign. The two old monsters had come to an agreement—using each other's strengths.
The Extreme Demon Sovereign could be considered a genius from ancient times, but the Blood Demon lived for a million years, known for his cruelty and cunning that rivaled even the Nine-Tailed Fox.
After some scheming, he fell into the Blood Demon's trap. However, this man was more shameless; he had even collaborated with the Soul Phantom. If not for him, the Extreme Demon Sovereign might have been able to avoid it.
Though they hadn't met in person, Lin Xuan knew what he looked like through the two Lingyao Mountain elders who were controlled by this old man. On that day, when they met again at the Spiritless Temple, Lin Xuan was startled.
After a hundred years, he remembered the Blood Demon had been just a condensation period cultivator back then. Now, however, he was an advanced Soul-Infusion Stage.
Was it possible? This guy's level of advancement was unheard of. Could this be a Golden Immortal reborn?
The Blood Demon was initially not planning to seek revenge on Lin Xuan; after all, the latter had become much stronger than before and didn't need such an enemy.
Despite his bloodthirsty nature, the Blood Demon Sovereign knew how to assess situations.
However, something happened that changed his mind.
It turned out that Lin Xuan's Soul-Infusion Technique was obtained by prying into the minds of two traitors after he had killed them. The techniques those traitors possessed were taught by the Blood Demon himself.
On the surface, it seemed the Blood Demon Sovereign offered these unique techniques to buy their loyalty since his body couldn't move and he needed large amounts of cultivators' flesh to restore his strength.
However, there was more to it than that.
In ancient times, this man was a notorious demon who had no qualms about anything. After practicing the bizarre technique that fused human and beast bodies, he became half-human and half-beast. Consuming other cultivators' golden cores and Soul-Infusion Stage bodies greatly benefited him as an evolved creature.
However, true spiritual elixirs weren't just Soul-Infusion Stages; they were the Spirit Infusion Technique's fully matured spirit-infused entities.
This was a strange point. The spirit-infused entity was merely a clever workaround with lesser powers compared to a true Soul-Infusion Stage. Why did it have such significant benefits? The reason remained unknown.
So, he had deceived those traitors by telling them to practice the Spirit Infusion Technique; his intentions were as simple as planting spiritual elixirs. Even if they didn't die at Lin Xuan's hands, once their spirit-infused entities formed, they would surely be consumed and devoured alive by the Blood Demon.
After the world-altering changes, he had come to Yunzhou and lured several condensation period cultivators into practicing the Spirit Infusion Technique. However, only a few managed to form spirit-infused entities, and all of them eventually died at his hands.
The Blood Demon found this method too time-consuming and labor-intensive compared to seeking other spiritual elixirs with less effort.
However, meeting Lin Xuan brought him great joy.
Though he had never practiced the Spirit Infusion Technique himself, he was sensitive to the effects it had on beasts. This guy not only had a mid-stage Soul-Infusion Stage but also a fully matured spirit-infused entity.
For him, this was an irresistible temptation. A simple spirit-infused entity already greatly benefited him, and the technique clearly stated that one needed both a soul-infusion stage and spirit-infused entity to be the best candidate for such a spiritual elixir.
This elixir had no benefits for other cultivators but would have almost unimaginable effects on his half-human, half-beast form. He was stuck at mid-stage Soul-Infusion Stage for a long time, and eating this elixir could definitely advance him to the Great Immortal stage.
The thought of it was so tempting that Lin Xuan was like an elixir for him.
After all, candidates with both soul-infusions were rare; yin-yang energy couldn't coexist in cultivators' bodies. It was said that one needed a secret technique called Yin-Yang Technique to solve this problem.
However, even during ancient times, few cultivators knew the Yin-Yang Technique, and those who did were almost all powerful. The Blood Demon himself wasn't proficient in it either.
Over these years, he had heard that neither Youzhou nor his newly arrived world had ever heard of the Yin-Yang Technique; it seemed to have long been lost.
This elixir required both a soul-infusion stage and spirit-infused entity from the same person. After losing hope when the Yin-Yang Technique was lost, he never expected this.
Now, it was an unexpected windfall. Killing this guy would allow him to advance to Great Immortal.
Such an opportunity couldn't be missed, but he knew he shouldn't act rashly. The man before him wasn't a soft target; not only was he at the same cultivation stage as himself, but he also had both soul-infusions and spirit-infused entities.
Although his spirit-infused entity might not match that of a true Soul-Infusion Stage cultivator in power, their combined strength couldn't be underestimated.
Still, given his higher cultivation level and the powerful techniques and evil artifacts he possessed, he believed he could still have a chance against this guy even if it was a mid-stage Soul-Infusion Stage.
This old man's patience was legendary; he joined Stone City despite not knowing the reason but to make things easier for himself.
He waited until Lin Xuan arrived before joining, hoping to avoid unnecessary conflicts with other Soul-Infusion Stage cultivators around them. However, this time, they were alone, and the opportunity had finally come into his hands.
