Chapter 1186: Possibly a Trap
Ba'er, come back." Xiong Ao's ferocious eyes flashed, and he commanded loudly.Bear-ty immediately withdrew after hearing this, his round eyes staring daggers at Lu Xiaoteng.At this time, after being f..."You've fallen for my trick." Lu Xia Tian's face turned cold. The direction Xiang Yi Hang was taking him now led to Fei Lu Lake, an even more vast expanse than last time. The lake was thick with spiritual energy, and various demonic birds soared through the air. As they traveled, their auras were easily dispersed. If anything happened, as long as the opponent was dealt with in a very short time, the powerful figures on Xiang's side wouldn't notice until it was too late to help. Lu Xia Tian had personally experienced Zhao Clan's extraordinary illusions and understood them deeply.
"How did you see through it, Lu brother" Xiang Yihang asked in confusion.
“I’ve met that old woman you’re talking about, and even fought her. I was surrounded by several people back then. The Zhao clan is renowned throughout the world for their illusionary arts, and I’ve seen firsthand how skilled she is at hiding within water as a Yuan Ying cultivator.” Lu Xiaodao said.
"The other party lured me over, was it to take advantage of me What you say does hold some truth. These days, I've been privately investigating the Lingxu Secret Realm and the hidden treasures of the pre-Qin dynasty, trying my best to avoid the royal family's eyes. I am somewhat familiar with the methods of the royal family, but I know little about the Zhao clan. My actions falling into their eyes could very well be misinterpreted." Xiang Yihang said thoughtfully.
"They just led me here, what for Could it be..."
"I wouldn't say I don't want your blood," Lu Xia Tian glanced at Xiang Yi Hang, "Your current strength is probably comparable to Yuan Jing's back then, and you've likely caught his eye."Xiang Yi Hang was already a formidable opponent, with Yuan Jing possessing the Shadowless Corpse. Xiang Yi Hang had the Blood Ding Refining Demon Array. As long as he had enough Nascent Souls, he could potentially give Yuan Jing a run for his money. Now, with their fusion, his strength has skyrocketed. Just how much stronger he is remains to be seen.
“This is a scheme, with such meticulous planning. This royal family member must have a deep connection to the rumored hidden treasure.” Xiang Yihang’s eyes glinted with murderous intent. “Wanting to keep me won't be so easy. But since it's a trap, what do you think, Lu brother Should we go or not”
Although he had some confidence, when thinking back to the scene where several forces besieged Yuan Jing, Xiang Yi-hang also felt a chill down his spine. Yuan Jing's strength was undeniable, wasn't he ultimately defeated and resentful
"Go, why not go. Let's investigate the truth of the other party. Besides, our combined strength is something we need to test. Otherwise, if we encounter danger in the future, we won't know our own limits." Lu Xia Tian smiled slightly and said, "If we were near this area, we wouldn't dare to venture in. This Lingxu Secret Realm, it's better not to go if we're not going to."
“Haha, good. Brother Lu looks calm and collected, but inside you're full of ambition. Since Brother Lu isn't afraid, how could I, Xiang Yihang, be timid” Xiang Yihang laughed loudly. “But let me make it clear beforehand, if we kill the opponent, the Nascent Soul will belong to both of us, split equally. With your teleportation technique, you're better at snatching Nascent Souls than me.”
Upon mentioning the teleportation technique, Xiang Yihang’s face couldn't hide a hint of envy. He secretly thought that Lu Xiaoteng had fought both the three-headed snake demon Biqiong and other great cultivators, so he must have some understanding of their cultivation levels. There was a way to escape. If that were the case, there wasn't much to fear.
"Okay." Lu Xia Tian nodded crisply, but silently contacted another person using the Lingxi Conch.
Yu Ya was cultivating in a small garden when she suddenly felt a tremor from the Lingxi conch. She took it out and saw a glimmer of joy in her beautiful eyes. Having followed her master for so long, this was the first time he had asked her to participate personally. She secretly thought that her days of hard cultivation hadn't been wasted. Originally, Yu Ya and Changning County King practiced a dual cultivation method, which made it relatively easier to advance in rank. Moreover, as the respected County Princess, she had lived a life of comfort for a long time, and her cultivation was not slow compared to ordinary people. However, after seeing Lu Xiaotian's cultivation, she felt ashamed of herself. After several encounters, Yu Ya also deeply felt the weakness of her own strength. In addition, after spending more time with Lu Xiaotian, Yu Ya had been subtly influenced by his habits. Her cultivation became much more diligent than before. Yu Ya was naturally a kind and intelligent person. With her focused cultivation, she occasionally encountered difficulties, but she received guidance from Lu Xiaotian, so her progress in strength was significantly faster than before.
Upon receiving a tip from Lu Xia Tian, Yu Ya stepped out and headed towards a courtyard in Xiang Du - a place where fish and dragons were mixed.
"Well, well, if it isn't a delicate beauty. What brings you here" Niu Kun, the strongest of their group, was the first to spot Yu Ya upon her arrival at the courtyard. Seeing Yu Ya, his eyes lit up as he greeted her.
"You must be the demon cultivator rescued from the Black Prison by your master. My master has ordered me to bring you to Flying Deer Lake to await his arrival." Yu Ya said softly.
“Lu Ge’s instructions” Niu Kun's face immediately turned serious.
At this time, Lu Qian and Qiao Lan also walked out of their respective rooms, "Master went to Feiluh Lake"
Yu Ya took out the Lingxi conch shell and confirmed this matter.
"Since that's the case, we shouldn't delay. Let's go to Flying Deer Lake right away. Damn it, after waiting for so long, we can finally let loose and have a good time." Niu Kun excitedly rubbed his hands together.
"Big Man Niu, Lu Xiong has instructed us to follow Ya's arrangements all the way. He didn't say there would definitely be a chance for a fight. We are Lu Xiong's secret weapon, and we can't expose ourselves easily." Qiao Lan reminded him.
"Well then, whatever Yu Ya says, I'll do. I won't cause any trouble," Niu Kun said with a bored voice.
“Taken by the Yuan family and imprisoned in the Black Prison for several years, you still haven't been subdued. It seems that only Brother Lu can control you.” Qiao Lan and Luo Qian’s faces lit up with a smile. Back when the three of them first entered the Chiyan Continent, if Niu Kun had been this obedient, they wouldn't have suffered the consequences that followed.
"Lu brothers, Lao Niu, I just can't accept this. As for the two of you, if you have the guts, make Lao Niu submit!" Niu Kun snorted.
“Lu Ge is here to take care of you.” Qiao Ran snorted, and the three of them, led by Yu Ya, went straight to Feiluh Lake.
Flying Deer Lake, if viewed from the sky, takes on the shape of a flying deer. The lake's surface mist shimmers and swirls under the sunlight, like delicate strands of gauze. It creates an otherworldly scene, a fairyland on earth. Occasionally, a few ethereal fish leap out of the water, splashing back down with a "whoosh." Sometimes, an unlucky one is caught by a swift-flying spirit bird, struck down mid-air and pinned to nearby aquatic plants or onto a reef for a feast.
A figure in flowing robes arrived from the sky. It was none other than Xiang Yihang, adorned in a python robe, golden crown, jade plume headdress, and luxurious attire.
Soon after Xiang Yi-hang entered Feiluh Lake, a figure submerged into the water, making almost no sound. After that figure disappeared into the lake, it blended seamlessly with the water, completely vanishing without a trace.Xiang Qingcheng's eyes were filled with endless melancholy. Her gaze was clear and sharp, yet unintentionally revealing a myriad of sorrows. 。
