After the figure of the crane disappeared, the other cultivators also acted separately.

When Lin Xuan was about to walk into the valley, he heard a bright voice beside him, “Brother Lin, how about we go together?”

“No, I always like to be alone when I go shopping” Lin Xuan looked at the young man who was full of expectation and faintly shied away.

“Oh…” Tian Xiaojian’s face flashed a hint of disappointment, but he didn’t insist. He just frowned and said, “It doesn’t matter, the trade fair will last for three days anyway, and later it is, the more precious things the Heavenly Vision Sect will take out to exchange. I heard that some rare spirit herbs will appear on the last day. I believe that Brother Lin won’t leave so soon, we should have the opportunity to go shopping together.”

Tian Xiaojian’s smile was very innocent, but his words were aggressive and had a different meaning. Lin Xuan’s heart “thundered” a bit, and the murderous intent all over his body was about to burst out. Fortunately, he was very sophisticated and adjusted his feeling in time without showing the slightest flaw on his face. He still had a faint smiling expression, “Oh, brother Tian, do you want to buy some Spirit Herbs? If we have time, I can accompany you for a stroll.”

“Well, I’m sure it will bother you. After all, I hate loneliness the most.”

“Haha, It’s easy to say.”

Lin Xuan also smiled kindly. Then the two of them cupped their hands and said goodbye. And they were quite reluctant to part as if they had been friends for many years.

Lin Xuan followed the other cultivators into the valley. When he arrived at a place where no one was around, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace. The indifference between his eyebrows was replaced by a haze, and even a trace of murderousness was faintly exposed.

Tian Xiaojian’s behavior was too suspicious.

At first, he had almost fooled him, but he didn’t know if the guy was too proud. His later performance was a bit too much. To put it simply, he was overdoing it.

Therefore, Lin Xuan began to suspect.

How could an ordinary member of an aristocratic clan have such insight? Not to mention, although his verbal behavior looked innocent and seemed unsophisticated, it hid many secrets and had a lot of different meanings.

Too smart for one’s own good, Lin Xuan’s face showed a bit of sarcasm, but it quickly became very dignified. He used his Spiritual Sense to sneakily scan him when he was not paying attention. As a result, there was a strangely swaying Spiritual Power fluctuation on that guy’s body.

Obviously, he also hid his cultivation base with a special Cultivation Method.

This guy was not just a rookie who had just stepped onto the Foundation Establishment Stage. What made Lin Xuan frown even more was that he was somewhat familiar with his strange Spiritual Power. But he just couldn’t remember it for the time being.

From the very beginning, Tian Xiaojian had been deliberately approaching him. Although he didn’t know what his purpose was, he was sure that he was up to something!

“Humph! You want to grab my attention?” Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness. But his expression soon returned to normal and he continued to swagger towards the depths of the valley.

…

“Night Demon, don’t you think it’s very interesting?”

Outside the valley, Lu Yu, who was responsible for the reception had also left. There was only a handsome young man left at the entrance of the vast valley.

At this time, Tian Xiaojian’s body revealed none of his childish foolishness. There was also a smile on his face, but that smile was frightening, and his whole person also gave people a sense of eerie horror.

Even more bizarre, was that he wasn’t talking to himself, but was facing his own arm. He rolled up his left sleeve.

On it, there was actually a face, eyes, nose, and mouth that are both vivid and lifelike. Like a human being and a Spirit Beast.

“Young Master, are you really planning to do it yourself?” The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, but his tone sounded a bit worried.

“Night Devil. What do you mean?” Tian Xiaojian frowned slightly. An expression of dissatisfaction was clearly revealed, “Do you think I can’t deal with a mere Lin Xuan?”

“But…..”

“Needless to say. I understand what you’re trying to say. You’re worried that this guy is the junior sect master of Spirit Pill Mountain, and is worried that he’s difficult to deal with. I have already checked it out. He had only been in Spirit Pill Mountain for more than ten years. What can he even learn? Even if its waters run deep, and even if there is really an old monster in the Nascent Soul Stage, I don’t believe that he can compare with my grandfather.”

“The original purpose of this trip was for Heavenly Vision Mountain. Those people actually want to stir up trouble in the fire and sway between our Demonic Path and the Righteous Path. All they hold is this Cloud-Splitting Light Array, which is amazingly powerful and makes us have some scruples.”

Tian Xiaojian sneered, “But these idiots don’t even need to think about it. Since my grandfather wants to recover it, and with the power of the Cloud-Splitting Light Array being so amazing, how could we not be prepared? As early as decades ago, grandfather had used his network to get a famous array master teacher under his command and painstakingly studied the shortcomings of the array.”

“Young Master, I also know about what you said. It’s not advisable to attack the Cloud-Splitting Light Array unless several Nascent Soul cultivators are working together in unison and break it with astonishing Spiritual Power. Otherwise, we can only sneak into Heavenly Vision Mountain and destroy the Spirit Veins at this place. Because this array was originally built on the underground Spirit Veins, if the Spirit Veins are destroyed, its power would be greatly reduced even if the array isn’t broken immediately.” The strange face known as Night Demon sighed, “But young master, why did you come here in person? Don’t you still have many disciples under the old master? This is too dangerous.”

“Cut the crap, do you think that I don’t know the risks? but don’t forget, although the Core Formation Stage cultivators in the cave are respectful to me on the surface, they’re only respectful because of my grandfather. There’s even a lot of gossip behind my back. They say that I’m just an ignorant child, and can only rely on the blessings of my grandfather.”

“Young Master, you want to…”

“That’s right. This time I’m going to show it to those arrogant Core Formation Stage cultivators that I’m not just a useless second generation. Although this task is dangerous, I can make a great contribution as long as I can complete it. You should know that without the protection of the Cloud-Splitting Light Array, old man Ku Mu would have no choice but to attach himself to us. With the addition of the Heavenly Vision Sect, the strength of the Extreme Demon Cave would be greatly increased. I can also impress those old guys and establish my prestige.”
