The other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators have decided to stay here. But if Lin Xuan wanted to follow, although, under the care of Ouyang Qin and his identity as the junior Sect Master of Spirit Pill Mountain, he would not be excluded. But he would have no chance of grabbing the Heavenly Dust Pill from right under their noses.

Instead of this, it would be better to pretend to retreat, quietly follow behind, and act when the opportunity came.

Lin Xuan flipped his hand, and a Spirit Beast Bag appeared in his palm. He opened the bag and a small bird similar to a skylark flew out.

Lin Xuan fed it a bit of bird food and said lightly, “Go!”

The bird spread its wings and circled around him, then with a clear chirp, it moved towards the direction where the two demonic cultivators flew away at an astonishing speed.

Lin Xuan showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, without hesitating, he turned into a red light, and then followed.

Although this Piercing Cloud Bird was a Level-1 Low-grade Spirit Beast and was not worth mentioning, it had a special feature. It liked to eat something called a Red Water Fruit.

Moreover, it was extremely sensitive to this thing, and even if it was thousands of miles away, it could still smell its aroma.

Lin Xuan gave Ouyang Qin’s three Spirit Replenishing Pills, which were mixed with this kind of fruit. Of course, it had no effect on the Spirit Medicine itself and the Red Water Fruit could even help a cultivator keep fit after consumption.

With the Piercing Cloud Bird leading the way, Lin Xuan was not afraid of losing her. Of course, he was not willing to be too close, as the Spiritual Sense of a Core Formation Stage cultivator was not something trivial. Lin Xuan’s idea was to ??fish in troubled waters.

In this way, he flew for a few hours. Fortunately, he did not meet any Spirit Beast, he didn’t know whether it was due to luck, or that they were removed by the demonic experts in front of him.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan stopped, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then with a wave of his hand, he placed the Piercing Cloud Bird back into the Spirit Beast Bag. Turning around, he found a dense forest under his feet and he dived into it to hid.

Almost as soon as he hid, there was a black light coming from the horizon. The light dispersed, revealing the face of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord.

Lin Xuan was shocked, and at the same time secretly glad, but fortunately, he had taken the Hidden Spirit Pill. He also used his Spiritual Sense to discover the other party in advance without revealing his tracks.

Otherwise, encountering the Sky Fiend Demon Lord head-on will definitely result in him suffering ten deaths.

But the other party was obviously flying towards the front, how could he suddenly turn around and return? And those cultivators who were tracking the Demon Lord, where did they go? Lin Xuan’s heart was full of doubt.

He didn’t dare move and stayed motionless, just staring at the old monster who had lived for countless years.

The Sky Fiend Demon Lord stretched his limbs and his face was full of pride. He muttered to himself, “Taibai Sword Immortal, Blood Demon Ancestor, do you think I didn’t know that you wouldn’t give up on the Heavenly Dust Pill? Want to know what the Sword Thorn Tiger tastes like? You guys can enjoy it! “

Sword Thorn Tiger?

When Lin Xuan heard it, he broke out in a cold sweat. This Spirit Beast was quite famous in the Cultivation World. Did the Sky Fiend Demon Lord sneak away, after deceiving the Core Formation Stage experts by leading them into the Sword Thorn Tiger’s nest?

Lin Xuan was right…

At the same time, in a canyon about a few hundred miles away.

It was called a canyon, but in fact, it was extremely wide with steep cliffs on both sides. Looking up, the mountain peak actually penetrated into the sky.

And at the entrance of this canyon. The Core Formation Stage experts of the two sects all gathered there. They either had livid faces and angry expressions. In short, they all looked very uncomfortable.

But the strange thing was that at this moment, there didn’t seem to be much hostility between the two sides.

And just about ten meters away from them. Numerous Spirit Beasts gathered in a dense formation. At first glance, there were nearly a thousand.

This Spirit Beast’s appearance looked similar to a tiger of the Mortal World, but with sharp steel thorns all over its body, which looked quite fierce.

Sword Thorn Tiger, Level-2 Top Grade Spirit Beast.

Although its level was already quite high, it stands to reason that it shouldn’t cause any trouble for Core Formation Stage experts. But this Spirit Beast was different, it was a rare high-level Spirit Beast that lived in groups.

And each population is huge, with thousands of them.

At the moment, the Spirit Beasts have surrounded several Core Formation Stage experts.

“Senior Brother Taibai, what do you think we should do?” Master Feng Lei worriedly looked at the Spirit Beasts glaring at him.

“This…” Taibai Sword Immortal was stunned, and for a while, he couldn’t think of a good idea.

“I didn’t expect that Sky Fiend Demon Lord to be so abominable. He actually used his avatar to lead us here, and then shed the golden cicada’s shell1Make the appearance of doing one thing while doing another. Use camouflage, dummies, small forces, or other means to create an illusion that captures attention while your real intent and actions lie hidden. to escape by himself” The female cultivator surnamed Cheng said angrily.

“You’re right, I originally still didn’t completely believe Fairy Ouyang when she talked about his Spiritual Powers. But I didn’t expect his Stealth Technique to be this weird. So many of us were actually fooled by his body incarnation.”

Ouyang Qin was silent, holding a zither in her arms, and he didn’t know what she was thinking.

“Well, let’s stop complaining, it doesn’t help. The most urgent matter is how to get out of here.”

“Senior Brother Taibai is right.”

“Let’s figure it out together.”

…

When the people of the Righteous Path were discussing a good strategy for getting out of trouble, the Demonic Path’s Core Formation Stage experts were also not idle and gathered together.

“Brother Lan, your Poison Technique should be the most suitable for dealing with large groups of enemies, why not use it?” The Blood Demon Ancestor said as his eyes flashed with red light.

“Brother Qian misunderstood, it’s not that I don’t want to use it, but this Sword Thorn Tiger not only has great defensive capabilities but also inherently born unafraid of all kinds of poison. It is my nemesis!”

“Is there such a thing?” The Blood Demon Ancestor was taken aback, “Then I’ve misunderstood you brother.”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not like we met each other one or two days ago. How can we be estranged by such a small matter? It’s just that brother Qian. Do you have any good way of getting out of this trouble?” The Hundred Poison Boy said seriously.

“What about this…” The Blood Demon Ancestor pondered for a bit, and his eyes flashed with a strange light, “The only way is to temporarily cooperate with the Righteous Path’s people.”

“What, working with those people?”The Hundred Poison Boy was shocked, “Brother Qian, what are you talking about?”

“I made a good point,” The Blood Demon Ancestor waved his hand and interrupted the other party’s words, “Brother Lan, look at those Sword Thorn Tigers, there are thousands of them. Only the Extreme Demon Venerable or the Righteous Path’s Nascent Soul Stage old monsters would be able to kill these animals on their own. As for us, although we’re Core Formation Stage Experts, with our Spiritual Powers, we can at best protect ourselves. But if we want to break out of this siege, it’s not easy. “

The Hundred Poison Boy was silent.

“Not to mention, even if we are finally able to get out of trouble, we don’t know how much time it will take, and the Sky Fiend Demon Lord Would have already escaped without a trace.”

“What brother Qian said makes sense. I won’t persist, just do whatever you want.”

The Blood Demon Ancestor was overjoyed. In his early years, the Hundred Poison Boy had forged a big feud with Yixian Valley and had suffered a big loss in the hands of a powerful Elder of that sect. He has always hated the Righteous Path. Fortunately, the other party was not being unreasonable.

“Be careful, the Blood Demon Ancestor is coming over, I don’t know what this old demon wants to do?”

Before the voice of Master Feng Lei fell, the Blood Demon Ancestor turned into a red light, and appeared in front of the people of the Righteous Path, they looked at him in a hostile manner.

“Taibai Sword Immortal, I have something to say.”

“Old Demon, no matter what tricks you have, it’s useless.”

Zhang Taibai waved his hand to stop the provocative words of the woman surnamed Cheng, “Lord Blood Demon, please speak.”

“Do you have a good idea of solving this problem?”

“What a joke, why should we tell you?” Master Feng Lei’s people also hated the Demonic Cultivators. It’s unknown if he had suffered from them in his early years.

“Just a little cultivator of the Core Formation Initial Stage, there is no place for you to talk here.”

Hearing the Blood Demon’s provocative words, Master Feng Lei was about to get angry, but as soon as he gazed at the opponent’s eyes, he saw a strange red light flashing across his pupils, and Master Feng Lei felt the blood surging up his chest. Shocked greatly, he quickly circulated his Spiritual Qi according to his Cultivation Technique and the feeling of discomfort was suppressed.

“This old demon’s Cultivation Technique is weird.” The Cultivation World speaks with strength, and Master Feng Lei who suffered a loss shut his mouth and knew to be quiet.

“I’ll say it frankly!” The Blood Demon looked at the Taibai Sword Immortal. Among the people in the Righteous Path, he had the highest strength and is also the leader, “Unless it’s an old monster of the Nascent Soul Stage, although, with our Spiritual Powers, we can preserve our lives. But if we wanted to break out from the siege of thousands of Sword Thorn Tiger, it would not be easy. The only way out is to join forces.”

“Join forces?”

“That’s right.”

“Okay, we agree,” Unexpectedly, Taibai Sword Immortal had not yet opened his mouth, but Ouyang Qin’s voice suddenly sounded out. This stunned her allies. The Blood  Ancestor also showed an unexpected expression.

However, no one had any objection. Although Ouyang Qin was only at the Core Formation Initial Stage, the Sound Wave Technique was an extremely valuable top-level Cultivation Method. It was extremely powerful, and there’s no problem defeating a Core Formation Middle Stage cultivation.

Secondly, they heard that this woman had a very good innate talent. In the list of cultivators who were most likely to form Nascent Soul, this woman was also on the list. Of course, it was still a little early to talk about, but no one would like to offend a future Nascent Soul Stage cultivator for no reason. Even if it was just a possibility.

Furthermore, the proposal of the Blood Demon Ancestor is not unreasonable, so they all accepted the suggestion by default.
