Chapter 3052: ??? Strange ???

ated for hundreds of years. They were extremely vicious, devouring people and consuming their souls was child's play.>The only problem with the Three Corpse Demon is that it's extremely prone to backf...For example, in two instances of breaking through the formation, from beginning to end, Xinhong's consumption of Xian Yuan and Shen Shi was significantly less than Zhao Qifeng and Xu Suqin.

Hearing this from Xinhong, both Zhao Qifeng and Xu Suqin closed their mouths. With Xinhong's current performance, the two of them could barely stand against her if they joined forces, but the back-and-forth would be a heavy drain on both. Even if they clashed, it was more than likely that neither of them would gain an advantage, and they might even suffer losses. Moreover, what the two couldn't deny was that in this current situation, Lu Xiaottian was truly indispensable. Otherwise, even if they were several True Immortals, they would inevitably be trapped within the formation, and it would be difficult to predict when they could break free.

And at this time, Lu Xiaitian's Ice Demon Cauldron was in his hand. It was significantly more unpredictable than before.

"Fellow cultivator from the East, how much use could this Ice Demon Jar be in your hands" Zhao Qifeng and Xu Suqin did not dwell on this matter. However, Xin Hong secretly sent a voice transmission to Lu Xia Tian.

“The exact extent of its power is hard to say for sure, but it should be more than enough to imprison either Zhao Qifeng or Xu Suqin within the Ice Demon Cauldron,” Lu Xiaoteng responded with a chuckle. He had put a lot of thought and effort into this plan, and now he was finally reaping the rewards. It wasn't a wasted effort after all.”

Xinhong was taken aback, obviously not expecting the Ice Demon Vase to be so powerful. After all, even the most powerful immortal artifact depends on the user. Under normal circumstances, no matter how powerful an immortal artifact is, it cannot unleash its full potential in the hands of a mere mortal. It's like giving a peerless blade to a three-year-old child; they could easily be injured by it if they are not careful.

To say that a fairy suddenly gained the ability to deal with true immortals after obtaining a certain immortal artifact, under normal circumstances, Xinhong would not believe it. However, when it came to Lu Xiaoteng, along the way, Lu Xiaoteng's performance was quite strange, especially in his astonishing attainments in formations, which made Xinhong unable to completely disbelieve it.

In fact, after Lu Xiaoteng obtained this Bing Yao Hu, he couldn't say that he controlled it. This Bing Yao Hu had existed in this misty place for many years. As a magic artifact, it already had a set of self-operating tracks. Lu Xiaoteng hadn't completely refined it, and he couldn't even say how he used the magic artifact. More precisely, he utilized the Bing Yao Hu's inertia from its existence in this place for many years, following the path of least resistance. After all, the Bing Yao Hu itself running was enough to trap a true immortal-realm expert.

"Very good, Eastern friend. Your strength has increased considerably, giving us more room to maneuver." Xinhong replied to Lu Xia Tian again.

“Of course.” Lu Xia Tian nodded. With the Bing Yao Hu in hand, he felt much more at ease in this misty place. At least, even if he lost his way from these True Immortals, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't worry about being unable to protect himself. Even for Lu Xia Tian, if no other dangers appeared, this place might be even more suitable than staying elsewhere.

"Uh oh," the two exchanged glances, and suddenly from the distant mist came a faint cry, sounding very familiar. It was Yunxia Fairy and her companions.

“How could they be here” Xinhong was surprised. Yunxia Xianzi and the others had been staying on the periphery all along, how could they have ventured into the depths of this mist Even these True Immortals were treading carefully in this place, how dare Yunxia Xianzi and the others come in

"Perhaps it was something else entirely. Let's go take a look and see, what do you think, Daoist Dongfang"

Zhao Qifeng looked towards Lu Xiaodao. With his previous experience, Zhao Qifeng had already realized that in this kind of place, it wasn't just his cultivation level that allowed him to venture freely. The slightest carelessness could lead him into danger, and Lu Xiaodao, who was capable of saving him, might not necessarily have the willingness to do so.

“Since Cloud-Mist Fairy is my friend, I naturally have to go and see,” Lu Xia Tian nodded. Several True Immortals had not sensed the presence of Cloud-Mist Fairy and her companions beforehand, but now, the sound of fighting suddenly erupted, as if Cloud-Mist Fairy and her group had appeared out of thin air. Something was amiss; there must be something peculiar going on.

Just as everyone was about to take action, the commotion that had just arrived mysteriously disappeared again. Even Xinhong and Zhao Qifeng, despite their wealth of experience, couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment.

“It seems that the Yunjia are quite far from our position, but this mist must be channeling their movements here through some kind of barrier. However, this barrier is quite peculiar, appearing and disappearing intermittently, as if affected by some external force.” Xinhong frowned and looked at Lu Xiaodao.

“Perhaps it’s not too far away, just this restriction is quite peculiar.” Zhao Qifeng nodded.

"You're all right, but we have to be even more careful from now on. Not only might news from other places reach us, but I'm afraid the few of us have already caught the attention of others." Lu Xiaottian looked around for a moment, his expression grave.

"What" The three of them were startled. They hadn't noticed it before, but now that Lu Xiaoteng had mentioned it, they felt as if someone was indeed watching them from the sidelines.

“What in the world is this place” Zhao Qifeng muttered under his breath. Lu Xiaoteng had broken through two formations in a row, but this misty place seemed to be a series of endless rings, with difficulties and dangers following one after another. They didn’t even have time to catch their breath.

"Daoist Zhao, there is no need to be anxious. The situation here has changed. It's not just for us, but also for others who want the Dream Stone. Most of those who came here, besides a few immortals who were accidentally pulled in, have cultivation levels similar to yours and your companions. There is only one Dream Stone, even if others travel in groups, their numbers won't be significant. Daoist Zhao fears others, but perhaps after learning about our situation, they will fear us even more."

Lu Xia Tian smiled when he heard this.

“The fellow Daoist from the East is right, I have been a bit impetuous.” Zhao Qifeng felt quite reasonable after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said and nodded, “This restriction is indeed extraordinary. The task of breaking the next layer of restriction falls to the fellow Daoist from the East. What should we do next”

“Perhaps we should find Cloud Mist Fairy and the others first.” Lu Xia Tian trailed his chin, his eyes gleaming like sharp arrows, trying to pierce through the mist before him.

Xinhong visibly relaxed upon hearing this. From Lu Xiaoteng's tone, there seemed to be a way out after all. The three of them saw Lu Xiaoteng in deep thought, and couldn't help but hold their breath, fearing they might disrupt his train of thought. Unconsciously, the three had developed a strange sense of trust in Lu Xiaoteng. Even Zhao Qifeng and Xu Suqin, who previously looked favorably upon Lu Xiaoteng, at most saw him as a rather outstanding late-stage Immortal Cultivator.

After obtaining the Ice Demon Cauldron, Lu Xia Tian's aura changed drastically. Zhao Qifeng and the others couldn't help but treat Lu Xia Tian as an equal.
