For ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, it really is dangerous to come to Heavenly Devil City alone, but his situation is different.

In You Prefecture, the Spirit Pill Mountain stands aloof.

Apart from their hidden power, on the surface, its doors are open to everyone, and they only focus on Alchemy, so they treat all cultivators equally.

Therefore, although the Spirit Pill Mountain belongs to the category of Immortal Cultivation, it still has a good reputation among Demonic Cultivators and is widely respected.

The alchemists of Spirit Pill Mountain can travel unimpeded in the Heavenly Devil City, and Demonic Cultivators will never deliberately embarrass them.

There’s no need for Lin Xuan to form a party at all.

Moments later, Lin Xuan landed in Heavenly Devil City.

The gate in front of him was seven or eight feet high, a layer of light blue protective film envelopes it, and two cultivators with awe-inspiring expressions stood beside it.

Lin Xuan noticed that Demonic Cultivators were able to move unimpeded and that Immortality Cultivators had to stop for inspection.

The person on the left glanced at Lin Xuan, and a hint of ridicule flashed across his eyes. This kid has a good cultivation base, while also being so young, he amazingly reached the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage. But he didn’t know how tall the mountains were and dared to enter the Demonic Cultivator’s holy realm alone.

He raised his eyebrows and was about to speak. Lin Xuan smiled and spoke first: “Spirit Pill Mountain, Lin Xuan, greeting two Fellow Daoists.”

“Spirit Pill Mountain?”

The person on the left was stunned and immediately put on a friendly expression and smiled: “I didn’t mean any disrespect, does Fellow Daoist have his sect’s identity card?”

“Mm.” Lin Xuan nodded, stretched out his arm, and took out a crystal clear jade medal.

This object is carved from the finest warm jade and has a simple shape, there is a special Restriction engraved into it so that others can’t duplicate it.

The Demonic Cultivator took a look and the expression on his face suddenly became more respectful. He then said: “It turned out to be the junior Sect Master of Spirit Pill Mountain. Forgive me if I have offended you.”

“Haha, Fellow Daoist is too polite. “Lin Xuan took the jade card back: “Can I go in?”

“Of course.” The Demonic Cultivator had a flattering expression and took a black Talisman from his storage bag, powered by Spiritual Qi, with a black light it flew toward Lin Xuan’s clothes and became attached to it.

Throughout the entire process Lin Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, except for the strange light flashing in the depth of his eyes, he hesitated But did not try to hide. And said: “This is…”

“Haha, don’t mind it, junior Sect Master.” The Demonic Cultivator smiled and explained: “Presumably you know that except for the Spirit Pill Mountain’s Fellow Daoists, other Immortal Cultivators, are generally not welcome, this talisman means that you’re a distinguished guest of the city, with it. No one will deliberately cause trouble. “

“Well, thank you Fellow Daoist.”

After the strange talisman was used, Lin Xuan’s clothes emitted a strange black light. Although he believed that the other party would not go against him, Lin Xuan still used his Spiritual Sense to check it out. Confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he then walked into the city with confidence.

The Heavenly Devil City is the home of Demonic Cultivators in You Prefecture. It’s truly prosperous and the streets are full of people. Lin Xuan discovered that in addition to cultivators who pursued Immortality, there are actually a lot of mortals.

This made him very surprised.

And those cultivators, are different from what he usually sees, they all emitted a cold and suffocating aura, full of killing intent as if telling everybody not to get close.

This has something to do with techniques practiced by Demonic Cultivators. Although its progress is faster, it distorts the mind.

Well of course. In addition to Demonic Dao’s cultivators, there are many foreign Cultivators, but most of them are low-key.

In this city, from time to time quarrels can be heard, and even laying hands on each other is not uncommon. Demonic Cultivators have a more fierce temper, and if they had a disagreement, they would often take out their Spirit Tools to duel.

He heard a noise in front.

There are still many people around.

Lin Xuan didn’t care. He doesn’t like to gossip. And there was no such thing as loving to watch the excitement, so he prepared to go around.

He took two steps. But then stopped, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and his face showed a pensive expression.

After a short while, Lin Xuan seemed to have made a decision and turned around towards that lively place.

Most of the people watching the excitement were not high in cultivation. And were only around the Spirit Condensation Stage. They saw a Foundation Establishment Stage Senior. Although he was an Immortal Cultivator, the black light on his body meant that he was a distinguished guest of the city, so they immediately and reverently gave way.

Lin Xuan fixed his eyes, and a familiar figure came into view, Xu Yin, the two had once met each other.

Lin Xuan recognized her voice and changed his decision temporarily.

Although this woman’s cultivation base is not worth mentioning, she had a rather remarkable brother.

Her elder brother Xu Feng is the new generation leader of Heavenly Mountain Sect and a strong competitor for the future Sect Master position.

The strength of Heavenly Mountain in You Prefecture is only second to the Big Three.

Lin Xuan is the kind of person who moves if it’s profitable. Being in a good relationship with Xu Feng, a promising figure would definitely be good for his future cultivation.

Seeing that his sister seemed to be in trouble, Lin Xuan decided to stop and take a look.

Of course, he will not help if it’s out of his league. If it was a matter of raising his hand, Lin Xuan wouldn’t mind making a move, in which he could make Xu Feng owe him a favor.

But if he wanted to take a risk, Lin Xuan will carefully consider the pros and cons.

With this kind of psychology, Lin Xuan was confident, so he decided not to show up for the time being, and would make a decision after observing for a while.

In a conflict with Xu Yin is a tall Demonic Cultivator, bald, and with an ugly face, but his cultivation was actually of the Foundation Establishment Stage Third Layer.

After not seeing her for five years. Xu Yin’s appearance has not changed much. She still had a sweet and lovely image. However, an angry expression appeared on her pretty face, she angrily said: “I said, that I’m not interested in you, what are you trying to do? I will not dual cultivate with you.”

“Miss, don’t refuse too quickly. Brother Yuan is really sincere to you. I am now in the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage. If you dual cultivate with me, you will not suffer a loss, and I will take care of you.”

“Just you?” Xu Yin’s face was full of disdain: “I am a Heavenly Mountain Sect disciple, and my Eldest Brother already has reached the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection. Do I still need your support?”

Xu Yin was telling the truth, but the Demonic Cultivator didn’t believe it at all. If she was really a Heavenly Mountain Sect Disciple, how come she’s here alone?

And the younger sister of a Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection expert, this woman is just bluffing.

He believed that Xu Yin was a Rogue Cultivator, coveting her beauty, how could he give up easily, his eyes flashed violently, and he intended to use force.

Anyway, she’s just a Spirit Condensation Stage cultivator, so Heavenly Devil City wouldn’t really care about her.

Although Xu Yin’s character was stubborn, she’s quite clever. Seeing the other party’s expression, she was shocked. When she was feeling hesitant, she saw a familiar figure.

“Big Brother Lin.” Little Xu immediately ran over, as if she caught a life-saving straw.

“Miss Xu, long time no see, where is brother Feng?”

“I’ll talk about it later, Brother Lin, you have to save me.”

Seeing the other party’s pitiful expression, Lin Xuan smiled lightly. He had carefully observed that this Demonic Cultivator has no accomplices. He should be a Rogue Cultivator. Although his cultivation base is similar to his own, but he practices the Nine Heaven Profound Art which is extremely powerful, and even outstanding among Top-level techniques.

What’s more, he had many magical weapons on his body, and fighting against a cultivator of the same level, he’s absolutely unbeatable.

At this point, Lin Xuan decided to take action.

Of course, it was to befriend Xu Feng. And since it’s only a matter of raising his hand, Lin Xuan naturally would not mind saving her.

He hasn’t spoken yet, but the voice of the Demonic Cultivator came indifferently: “Who are you, I advise you not to be nosy.”

Lin Xuan looked up to see the man’s hostile gaze.

Although Yuan Song’s face showed a fierce expression, but in his heart, he was actually in amazement. He did not expect that halfway through his plan he’d be interrupted, so he didn’t know if he could still grab this girl to be his cultivation furnace.

This person is also a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage, and that made Yuan Song dare not act rashly. On his clothes, there was that unique Spiritual Qi fluctuation, which means he was a distinguished guest.

Although Immortal and Demonic cultivators are not in a conflict, they’re still dissatisfied with each other. This young man is clearly a person of Immortal Cultivation. How can he receive such courtesy in Heavenly Devil City?

What is his identity?

Countless doubts poured into Yuan Song’s mind.

With Lin Xuan’s cleverness, how could he not see through his stern expression, so he said indifferently: “This young girl is the sister of my old friend. I advise you not to be delusional.”

“How bold, with such a weak cultivation, you dare to be so arrogant in Heavenly Devil City!”

Yuan Song was furious, and with his cultivation method he became even more rash, and his temperament became very impatient. What’s more, with so many people around him, wouldn’t it be too shameless to be scared by the other side’s words?

He laughed angrily: “I want to see if you can back your arrogance?”

Before he finished his words, Yuan Song flicked his sleeve, from his wide sleeves, a dark green light flew out, stabbing toward Lin Xuan’s chest.

Lin Xuan snorted, he was naturally prepared. His figure shook, and turned into a white mist, he wrapped it around Xu Yin and flashed aside.
