Chapter 70: Re-visiting the dangerous land? My wind and clouds rise again

Taking one step out of the Star-Gazing Tower, the aura of the outside world rushed toward him. On the Heavenly Mandate Hall platform, there were still many cultivators lingering, either trading gains, exchanging information, or simply sitting and cultivating on the spot. When the figure of Lin Xuan (Jin Shisan) appeared again, it instantly attracted many gazes.

These gazes contained suspicion, wariness, examination, and greed, all of which were present.

Three days ago, he entered the Huangfu Tianji Pavilion's Star-Gazing Tower with the Soul-Condensing Creation Dew. Three days later, he walked out safely, his aura becoming more deep and unfathomable. What happened during this period? Had the Creation Dew been refined by him? What kind of agreement had he reached with the Huangfu Tianji Pavilion?

All kinds of questions circled in everyone's minds, but no one dared to step forward to question him. The deterrent power of the Huangfu Tianji Pavilion, as well as the strength and mystery that "Jin Shisan" had shown before, made them shrink back.

Lin Xuan ignored the surrounding gazes, his expression calm. His "Eye of Truth-Breaking" swept slightly, and he took in the expressions of everyone present. He saw the remnants of the Youming Sect hiding in the corner of the crowd, their eyes venomous but not daring to act rashly; he saw Ye Chen in the pavilion in the distance, casting a gaze carrying inquiry and fighting intent; he also felt the icy hostility from the direction of the Third Prince Li Daoyi that was not concealed at all.

He sneered in his heart, knowing that these people would never give up easily. But his strength had greatly increased, he had more trump cards, and he had the tiger skin of the Huangfu Tianji Pavilion, so as long as he didn't fall into a dead end of being besieged by late-stage or even peak Soul Formation powerhouses, he had nothing to fear.

He had no intention of staying on the platform for long. According to the secrets learned from the Huangfu Tianji Pavilion, the hidden danger of the Five Elements Demon-Suppressing Land was the real heart-worry, and he had to go and investigate again to confirm the status of the seal and see if he could find a way to further repair or deal with it.

His figure flickered, and "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch" was deployed, his speed being several times faster than when he was at the Golden Core stage! Like a twisted green smoke, he instantly swept across most of the platform and headed toward the direction he came from, the cloud and mist channel leading to other areas of the Mystical Realm.

"He's leaving!"

"What a fast speed!"

"Follow him! See where he's going!"

Some clever or ill-intentioned cultivators immediately drove their escape light and hung far behind. Among them were many Soul Formation cultivators.

Lin Xuan knew the situation behind him like the back of his hand and already had a plan in his heart. He deliberately controlled his speed, neither letting these people lose him nor letting them get too close.

Passing through the cloud and mist channel, he returned to the vast white jade square. There were still many cultivators here, and the news that "Jin Shisan" had obtained the Creation Dew and entered the Huangfu Tianji Pavilion had long since spread, and his reappearance caused another commotion.

Lin Xuan did not stop at all and galloped directly toward the Five Elements Demon-Suppressing Land.

This move made the followers behind him and the cultivators on the square suspicious.

"What is he doing going to the Five Elements Demon-Suppressing Land?"

"Didn't a great battle just happen there, and the seal was reinforced?"

"Could it be that something has changed again?"

Everyone discussed, and some cultivators who were unwilling to give up on the Creation Dew, or were interested in "Jin Shisan" himself, could not hold back, and rose one after another, turning into streams of light and following. Among them were Ye Chen, scouts under the Third Prince Li Daoyi, and Elder You Liang and others of the Youming Sect.

Ye Chen was out of curiosity about the strong and the unknown, as well as a faint sense of his own "destiny."

The Third Prince wanted more to figure out the background and purpose of "Jin Shisan" so he could plan.

And the Youming Sect was a mixture of hatred and fear, wanting to find an opportunity for revenge, but also worried that the secrets of the Five Elements Demon-Suppressing Land would be further exposed.

Thus, a strange scene appeared in the Mystical Realm: a green-robed figure in front, walking through the air at a leisurely pace, while dozens or hundreds of colorful escape lights trailed far behind, like a long tail, crossing the gloomy sky of the Mystical Realm.

Lin Xuan knew the situation behind him well, and already had a plan. He just happened to use the eyes of these people to spread the possible abnormal situation of the Five Elements Demon-Suppressing Land, causing more people to be vigilant, which might disrupt the layout of the Youming Sect or even that Ruined Abyss demon sense.

Several days later, the familiar area piled with massive beast bones appeared before his eyes. The murderous aura permeating the air seemed to be a bit denser than before, carrying a hint of uneasy restlessness.

Lin Xuan did not reduce his speed, but rushed directly into the bone forest, heading toward the entrance of the basin in his memory.

However, when he passed through the bone forest and arrived at the entrance of the valley, the scene before his eyes made his pupils shrink suddenly!

The entrance to the valley, which had been slightly messy due to the battle between him, Ye Chen, and the heroic spirits, was now shrouded in a layer of dense, rolling pitch-black demon aura! Within the demon aura, one could vaguely see countless painfully twisted faces struggling and roaring, emitting a foul, filthy, and evil aura! A powerful sealing force spread from the demon aura, preventing anyone from approaching!

The entrance to the basin was completely sealed! And it was in an extremely evil and domineering way!

"This demon aura... is of the same origin as that Ruined Abyss demon sense, but purer and more active!" Lin Xuan's heart sank. "It is indeed accelerating its recovery, and can even actively influence the outside world!"

The many cultivators who followed behind also arrived one after another, and seeing the pitch-black demon aura pillar rising into the sky, as well as the terrifying evil aura emitted from it, everyone's expression changed greatly, horrified!

"What a terrifying demon aura!"

"How did the Five Elements Demon-Suppressing Land become like this?"

"Wasn't the seal reinforced by Jin Shisan and Ye Chen before?"

Everyone discussed, and Elder You Liang and others of the Youming Sect saw this demon aura, first shocked, then a hint of secret joy flashed in their eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry. Demon aura recovery was a good thing, but being so ostentatious would probably attract bigger trouble.

Ye Chen's brows were locked, and the thunder light around his body crackled uncontrollably, showing extremely strong repulsion to this demon aura. He felt a huge threat.

The Third Prince's scouts quickly sent the news back.

Lin Xuan stood before the demon aura barrier, his "Eye of Truth-Breaking" operating at full power, trying to see through this layer of demon aura barrier and observe the situation inside. At the same time, the Nether Soul-Suppressing Order in his bosom transmitted intense throbs again, but this time, besides yearning, it carried a strong warning and repulsion!

Just as he tried to touch the demon aura barrier slightly with his spiritual sense—

"Roar!!!"

A roar that seemed to come from the nine hells, filled with endless resentment and violence, suddenly came from behind the demon aura barrier! This roar was not a sound, but acted directly on the soul level!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Some Golden Core cultivators with lower cultivation who were closer were hit as if by a heavy blow, clutching their heads and screaming, bleeding from their seven orifices, and some even had their souls collapse and fell to the ground dead!

Even some early Soul Formation cultivators felt their souls shake, their faces turning pale, and they retreated in horror!

Lin Xuan bore the brunt, feeling a cold, bone-chilling intention filled with the desire for destruction stabbing into his sea of consciousness like an ice pick!

"Hmph!"

He groaned, the Chaos Soul Formation in his dantian bloomed with clear light, the Soul Armor Art operated automatically, and the invisible soul armor on the outer layer of his sea of consciousness shone brightly! At the same time, the Nether Soul-Suppressing Order in his bosom autonomously triggered a circle of clear and peaceful Nether light, protecting his soul core.

That terrifying demon thought impact, under the dual defense of the Chaos Soul Armor and the Soul-Suppressing Nether Light, although it stirred up violent waves, failed to truly damage Lin Xuan's foundation.

But he was still shaken back half a step by this force, his face slightly pale.

This demon head... was stronger than before! And it seemed to "take special care" of him!

"Ant... ruining my good deeds... must swallow your soul..."

A thought filled with extreme malice was branded directly into Lin Xuan's perception like a curse.

Behind the demon aura barrier, the Ruined Abyss demon sense that had been suppressed had already awakened to the extent of being able to actively exert influence on the outside world, and even conduct soul attacks!

The situation instantly became incomparably severe!

All the cultivators who witnessed this scene felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet to their heads!

The change in the Five Elements Demon-Suppressing Land had already exceeded their imagination!

And the focus of all this gathered once again upon that figure in green robes, standing alone before the demonic energy barrier, resisting the impact of the demonic intent—"Jin Shisan"!
