Chapter 196

"Lin Xia, it's you again?"

As soon as the words fell, the nine-headed bird tore open space and fled into the distance.

Back then, Lin Xia had single-handedly fought his way into the Heavenly Court, trampled the Demon Emperor Palace, and washed the heavens in blood, making countless demon clans tremble with fear.

Seeing Lin Xia again at this moment, the nine-headed bird couldn't summon any desire to resist; there was only boundless panic in its heart.

It knew that this god of slaughter was hard to deal with, even if the two Heavenly Emperors joined forces.

Let alone itself?

If it fled a moment too late, it would likely face disaster.

But waking up at this moment was ultimately too late.

Lin Xia didn't waste words; the Kongtong Seal appeared in his palm, and he slapped it down like a brick. Immediately, the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers appeared, evolving into a world of mountains and rivers that enveloped the nine-headed bird.

The nine-headed bird's expression changed drastically; it didn't even let out a scream before it was turned into ashes.

At this time, the cultivator in the white Daoist robe also looked at Lin Xia, stunned and lost in thought.

This nine-headed bird was a demon god of the Heavenly Court, with an early-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation, and its strength was extremely formidable; it had long been a notorious existence in the Honghuang, shaking the world.

Now, seeing Lin Xia, it didn't even have the slightest desire to resist and fled directly.

Even so, it was instantly killed without any power to fight back.

This kind of strength was truly terrifying.

Where exactly did this child come from?

Subsequently, the white-robed cultivator suddenly remembered the name the nine-headed bird had just uttered, and his heart stirred, his expression becoming excited as he said to Lin Xia.

"Is the Fellow Daoist the Human Saint Venerable?"

Lin Xia nodded with a cold expression.

Just now, this cultivator had suddenly rushed toward him, though it was only an instinctive survival reaction in a moment of crisis.

But speaking of it, this behavior was no different from bringing disaster to others.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would likely have been implicated by him, not even knowing how they died.

Therefore, he did not have much favor for such people.

Seeing Lin Xia's cold expression, the white-robed cultivator's expression was also somewhat awkward.

He knew that what he had just done was somewhat dishonorable.

Fearing that Lin Xia would develop a bad impression of him, he quickly explained:

"Saint Venerable, the fault just now was all mine. Many thanks for your life-saving grace."

"This spiritual root was obtained by me and that great demon in a struggle, so I will gift it to the Saint Venerable."

As he spoke, he directly took out a spiritual root and handed it to Lin Xia.

Lin Xia looked over and saw that the spiritual root was flowing with brilliant luster, and vast immortal charm was gushing out.

It was actually a top-grade innate spiritual root, the Huang Zhongli tree.

Huang Zhongli was one of the ten great top-grade innate spiritual roots; legend had it that an ordinary cultivator could achieve Daluo by eating just one fruit. Its miraculous nature went without saying.

But Lin Xia did not accept it immediately, his gaze showing some hesitation.

He could naturally see that the Huang Zhongli tree before him had no damage to its origin.

Even a Honghuang powerhouse would be unable to resist being tempted upon seeing it.

He didn't understand why the cultivator before him would suddenly take out this item as a gift.

After all, such a treasure was too precious, and it was something the other party had risked their life to snatch; he didn't believe the other party was doing it purely out of kindness.

Seeing the hesitation on Lin Xia's face, Chen Xuan quickly explained.

"Saint Venerable, to tell you the truth, my name is Chen Xuan, a cultivator from Zifu Continent, under the seat of Emperor Donghua."

"The Emperor has always admired the Saint Venerable extremely, but has had no chance to meet."

"Meeting the Saint Venerable today is truly a great honor. A mere spiritual root is far from enough to repay the life-saving grace. I dare to implore the Saint Venerable to go to Zifu Continent; the Emperor will surely thank you heavily." ===== CHAPTER 198 =====
