Lin Shen didn’t know what Miao You was thinking. Seeing that she had already made up her mind, he didn’t say anything else.

Back then, he had only signed a soul contract with Miao You because he wanted to obtain the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit. As for Miao You herself, Lin Shen didn’t think much of it.

After all, the Nine Suns Sect wouldn’t allow him to bring a demon cultivator into Dragonside City.

“I heard that some powerful cultivator masters can open their own residences and recruit demons for their own use. I wonder if Nine Suns Sect can do the same?”

The two of them fell into deep thought and didn’t speak along the way.

Not long after.

Lin Shen and Miao You arrived at the entrance to Xuandu Mountain that day.

There were already many people gathered here.

However, compared to the sea of people that entered Xuandu Mountain that day, the number had decreased significantly.

When they entered Xuandu Mountain a month ago, there were more than 2,000 cultivators.

However, there were only about a thousand people who could walk out of Xuandu Mountain alive today.

There were no ferocious beasts in Xuandu Mountain, and all the demons were plant spirits that weren’t all that dangerous.

Then, it was obvious how over a thousand people disappeared and died.

At this moment, there was a rumbling noise.

Lin Shen looked up and saw a crack in the fog that enveloped a radius of thousands of kilometers around Xuandu Mountain.

A group of cultivators flew out.

Lin Shen and Miao You were no exception.

However, the two of them separated tacitly and didn’t stay together anymore. Lin Shen didn’t want to spend time explaining Miao You’s existence to Qu Ke and Shen Zening.

“Junior Brother Lin!”

Just as he returned to the foot of Xuandu Mountain, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. Lin Shen turned around and saw that it was Qu Ke and Shen Zening.

The two of them walked toward Lin Shen and sized him up. Seeing that he was safe and sound, they heaved a sigh of relief.

Although they were confident in Lin Shen’s strength, anything could happen in Xuandu Mountain.

They sighed inwardly when they saw that the number of people who came out had decreased so much.

“More than 2,000 people went in, but less than half came out. This Xuandu Conference is indeed dangerous!” Qu Ke sighed softly.

After some itinerant cultivators in Xuandu Mountain formed a group, they attacked lone cultivators everywhere, not even sparing the sect disciples.

Qu Ke and Shen Zening met many cultivators who wanted to snatch the Mystic Essence Liquid and fought a few dangerous battles.

Fortunately, the two of them were quite capable and had profound armaments on them. Most of the attackers were killed instead.

On the few occasions where they couldn’t defeat their enemies, they were able to use profound armaments to get away.

After a month, Qu Ke and Shen Zening obtained six drops of Mystic Essence Liquid, so each of them had three.

This was already quite rewarding.

Most of the itinerant cultivators moved in groups. Even if they found the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit in the end, there wouldn’t be enough to share among them.

Under such circumstances, they either had enough Cast Spirit Pills to split up or fight against one another.

Recovering from their joy, Qu Ke and Shen Zening glanced at Lin Shen.

In their opinion, if even they had gained a lot, then Lin Shen must have gained even more on Xuandu Mountain. He should have at least ten drops of Mystic Essence Liquid.

They would never have thought that not only had Lin Shen obtained the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit, but he had also used it to break through the cage and advance to a cultivator master. He had even killed a cultivator master.

If they knew about this, their eyes would probably pop out.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Many people noticed that the disciples of the Corpse Sect, Blood Sea Sect, and Flying Cloud Sect were nowhere to be seen.

“Did those people die in Xuandu Mountain?”

“No way. Who could have killed them? Moreover, the disciples of all three sects are gone!”

“Hey, Yin Xianbin, Yi Sufeng, and Guan Zhou haven’t come out either!”

“If you ask me, these people probably met at Xuandu Mountain and fought. In the end, they perished together!”

“That makes sense!”

Many people nodded in agreement.

After all, it was too much of a coincidence that all the sect disciples and three itinerant cultivators with extraordinary strength disappeared at the same time. Someone couldn’t have killed all these people, right?

How powerful did the attacker have to be? A cultivator master?

Hearing the discussions around them, Qu Ke and Shen Zening looked at each other and rejoiced.

Even the people from the three sects were dead. Fortunately, they weren’t implicated.

Lin Shen’s expression didn’t change. He acted as if he didn’t hear the discussion around them and said, “Senior Brothers, let’s go.”

Qu Ke and Shen Zening came back to their senses and immediately agreed.

Leaving Xuandu Mountain didn’t mean that they could rest easily.

Those who found nothing on Xuandu Mountain might take the risk and ambush other cultivators who had gained something along the way.

Even those who had obtained the Mystic Essence Liquid might do so. No one would despise too much Mystic Essence Liquid.

Without further ado, Qu Ke immediately released the Dragon Fang Flying Ship.

The appearance of a behemoth that was more than ten meters tall and thirty to forty meters long immediately attracted the attention of many people around it.

Many people looked envious.

With the disciples of the Corpse Sect, Blood Sea Sect, and Flying Cloud Sect all dead, only Lin Shen and his senior brothers could take out treasures like a flying ship.

As soon as the flying ship appeared, the malicious gazes that were originally fixed on the three of them immediately disappeared.

This was also why Qu Ke took out the Dragon Fang Flying Ship on the spot. It was to dispel some people’s ill intentions.

From the looks of it, it was quite effective.

The three of them boarded the Dragon Fang Flying Ship. As Qu Ke activated the token, the flying ship immediately soared into the sky and flew in the direction of Dragonside City.

As the Dragon Fang Flying Ship disappeared into the horizon, the surrounding discussions gradually calmed down.

A strange atmosphere gradually spread.

Some cultivators left the foot of Xuandu Mountain in a hurry.

However, as soon as they left, many people followed them sneakily.

Dragonside City.

Nine Suns Sect.

In an antique room.

Kuang Hai lay on the bed and let out a soft moan from time to time.

After more than a month, the heat poison in his body hadn’t been completely expelled.

Although his physical wounds had already healed and he seemed perfectly fine, every noon, the hot poison in his body made him burn. He felt as if his entire body was about to burn up.

Kuang Zhuo, who was sitting by the bed, felt as if needles were stabbing his heart when he saw his beloved son in pain.

“Is that kid called Lin Shen not back yet?” he asked through gritted teeth.

Han Liang said, “Uncle, the Xuandu Meeting has just ended. Lin Shen should be on his way back!”

“If that kid comes back, tell me immediately!”

Hearing this, Han Liang hesitated for a moment before saying, “Uncle, Kuang Hai, and Lin Shen had a bet. They both agreed to take the consequences. Although Kuang Hai was injured, we shouldn’t find trouble with Lin Shen. Otherwise, I’m afraid it will attract criticism, or even…”

If Lin Shen were a commoner disciple without any background, it wasn’t impossible for Kuang Zhuo to stand up for Kuang Hai.

However, Lin Shen was now famous in the sect and attracted the attention of many people. There were even elders who expressed their intention to take him in as a disciple. If Kuang Zhuo attacked Lin Shen now, it might attract interference from the higher-ups.

Kuang Zhuo said hatefully, “So what? That brat beat Hai to this state. If I don’t avenge Hai, what kind of a father would 1 be?!”

Han Liang felt helpless.

The father and son really had the same explosive temper.

If Kuang Hai had listened to his advice and not gone to find trouble with Lin Shen, how could he have ended up in this state?

But speaking of which, Lin Shen was astonishingly powerful.

From Kuang Hai’s description, Lin Shen had severely injured him in a single move!

Kuang Hai had more than twenty spiritual meridians!

To be able to defeat him in one move, Lin Shen had to have at least thirty spiritual meridians!

Was the Nine Suns Sect going to have another second-grade spiritual meridian cultivator?

Seeing that Han Liang was silent, Kuang Zhuo thought that he was worried and waved his hand.

“Just let me know when Lin Shen comes back. You don’t have to worry about anything else. This time, even if the sect punishes me for this, I’ll have to avenge Hai!

“That kid let Hai suffer from the heat poison. I’ll let him feel the same!”

Toward the end, Kuang Zhuo’s eyes were filled with coldness.

Han Liang wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he sighed and didn’t say anything else.

Since a second-level Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator master had made up his mind, there was no point in persuading him..
