But soon, this hope was shattered, the other party had no intention of leaving, and the Spiritual Sense still lingered around.

It did not seem like he was completely exposed, but the other party should be slightly suspicious. Although Lin Xuan’s analysis was correct, he hesitated on what to do next.

Should I run?

His speed couldn’t be compared to a Core Formation Stage expert, and once he did that, it would mean immediate exposure.

Or, continue to lurk?

Such a choice had a good point in taking a quiet break, but the thing about that was that one would have to leave himself to fate, which was by praying that the other party wouldn’t find him. What Lin Xuan hated the most were things that were out of his control.

He was now in a dilemma.

After a short while, the confusion in Lin Xuan’s eyes disappeared, and he took out a Spirit Tool from his storage bracelet. After serious consideration, he still felt that he could not stay here stupidly. Of course, it was not advisable to fly away directly since he also held a talisman.

The spell sealed inside was the Imperial Wind Art.

To put it simply, it was a Movement Technique and an entry-level spell, which Lin Xuan had not used for a long time.

However, low-level spells also have the benefit of being low-level spells. The Spiritual Qi fluctuations were small, and the possibility of being discovered was lower if it was activated with a talisman.

Lin Xuan waved his hand, and the talisman ignited spontaneously without wind. A golden character flew out of it and plunged into his body.

The spiritual response was minimal, but before Lin Xuan had the time to celebrate, he felt that the Spiritual Sense which had been lurking outside was locked into him.

Damn, I still underestimated the cultivators in the Core Formation Stage!

Lin Xuan was shocked. He didn’t have the time to think about it. He activated the Spirit Tool with a whirl and was about to flee. But a voice made him stop, “Don’t panic, it’s me!”

The voice is crisp and clear. With a little bit of tenderness, Lin Xuan turned back and saw a beautiful woman who unknowingly appeared behind him at some point.

Her lips like pearls, her skin like water, and her beautiful hair swaying like a waterfall.

This was a stunning female cultivator and a master of the Core Formation Stage.

“Fairy Ouyang.”

Lin Xuan stood still in surprise, Ouyang Qin was an important figure in Blue Cloud Mountain, but she had a close relationship with him and would not do something disadvantageous to himself.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect that you would be here.”

Ouyang Qin’s expression was both upset and happy, and she said with a smile, “Why are you here Lin Xuan, are you also interested in the Heavenly Dust Pill?”

“Sorry to embarrass myself, I just happened to hear about the Demon Lord by chance, so I came here to join the fun.”

Although Lin Xuan was sure that Ouyang Qin would not harm him, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing in the world. Therefore, he naturally can’t tell the truth. This remark is a half-truth.

“Is that so?”

Ouyang Qin didn’t express her opinion, but her smile showed a hint of playfulness!

It seems that the other party is not convinced, but with this expression. There is no malice.

“Fairy, can I ask you something?” After chatting for a while, Lin Xuan finally hesitated to speak.

“You don’t have to be so polite, go ahead.”

“How did Fairy Ouyang find out?” Logically. There should be no flaw in the Qi Concealing method of the Hidden Spirit Pill and the Nine Heavens Profound Art!

“Oh, your method is also strange. How did you hide your presence? I dare to say that among cultivators of the same level, my Spiritual Sense is quite outstanding. If my keepsake to you didn’t contain a trace of my Spiritual Sense. I would’ve hardly found you.”

“Keepsake?”

Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then a wisp of undetectable haze flashed across his eyes, and he took out a guqin carved from jade, “Is it this?”

During the last parting, Ouyang Qin gave this gift to him, saying that if he was in an emergency, or if he encountered any problems, he could rely on this object to ask for help from Blue Cloud Mountain.

Unexpectedly, there was a trace of her Spiritual Sense on it.

However, Lin Xuan was not sure whether it’s intentional or unintentional, because many cultivators were used to leaving a trace of Spiritual Sense on their own belongings. So that it would be easy to find when lost.

It was very likely done unintentionally.

Lin Xuan secretly scolded himself for being careless. Fortunately, there weren’t any losses. He has decided that after Ouyang Qin left,  he would immediately wipe out that trace of Spiritual Sense from it.

The two chatted for a while, from the words of Ouyang Qin, Lin Xuan even heard some secrets about the Demon Lord.

“Haha, I didn’t think that the famous Fairy Ouyang would be here secretly dating her little lover!”

Strange laughter of grinding metal came into his ears, and a dark cloud flew from the far side of the sky. In the cloud, the figure of a big man could be seen.

This person was extremely tall and sturdy, but what impressed people were his eyes. His left eye was large and his right eye was small, and they were glowing with blood-red light.

“Red-eyed Ghost!” Ouyang Qin’s face was cold.

This person was a well-known master of the Ghost Valley, a demonic cultivator who has entered the late stage of Core Formation.

“Oh, you recognize this me, I just hope that Fairy Ouyang can make me move my hands and feet,” The red-eyed old man’s cultivation was quite profound, so it was not baseless arrogance.

Although the strength of the Three Sects of the Righteous Dao is strong, this time, those who entered the Kuyin Mountains, except for the Grand Snow Sword Immortal, no one was his opponent.

The corner of Lin Xuan’s mouth showed a bitter smile. He didn’t provoke him but actually met the most difficult to deal with the old monster of the Demonic Dao.

Ouyang Qin’s Sound Wave Technique was a top-level method and was extremely powerful, but her own cultivation was only in the early stages of Core Formation, and it was impossible to fight this eccentric old man.

Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qin have both seen through this situation clearly, and surrender was impossible, so they could only fight!

She waved her hand, and a glimmer of light rose into the sky, Red-eyed Ghost’s expression changed, “You want to send a signal to call your companions, don’t even think about it!”

However, Ouyang Qin moved faster. Her jade-like finger slammed onto the broken zither that she was holding and countless blades of light appeared in the sky immediately.

Although a single light blade is only a low-level spell, with a few thousand combined, the momentum was very amazing.

The Red-eyed Ghost sneered. His body turned around and he brought a blood-red cloud and rushed over.
