"Who is the person outside?" Ling Jin asked.
"Sikong Qing, the Patriarch of the Sikong Family." Lu Xuan answered in a deep voice. At the same time, his mind was racing. The current situation was even more dangerous than when he was surrounded by Sikong Dong.
Previously, he had been in the dark while the other party had been in the open. Now that Sikong Qing had personally come, it was clear that he had come prepared. He could only travel on foot, but the Sikong Family could easily use the Teleportation Array to block his path. There would most likely be quite a number of enemies ahead.
When Ling Jin heard that it was the Patriarch of the Sikong Family, she was quite surprised. "The Patriarch of the Sikong Family? Doesn't that mean he's even stronger than the person from before? "
"His strength is slightly inferior, but he must have quite a few powerhouses by his side. I hope we haven't alerted Sikong Zhengqing. Otherwise, even if we put our lives on the line, we won't be able to escape alive."
"Is he that powerful?" Ling Jin asked in disbelief. She was one of the few powerhouses on the Demon Sealing Continent who had cultivated for over a hundred years. It was normal to say that she couldn't beat the other party, but it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that she couldn't even escape with her life.
Lu Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile. "Sikong Zhengqing can be considered a true top-notch powerhouse on the Heavenly Sword Continent. If it weren't for the barrier of the Heavenly Sword Continent, I'm afraid he would have broken through to the Transcendent Realm long ago. Although your strength isn't bad, you won't be able to display your full strength on the Heavenly Sword Continent. Against him, your chances of winning are less than twenty percent."
Although Ling Jin was a little unconvinced, she knew that what Lu Xuan said was the truth. Her strength had indeed been greatly affected on the Heavenly Sword Continent. If Sikong Zhengqing really was a top-notch powerhouse on the Heavenly Sword Continent, she would indeed be no match for him.
At that moment, Sikong Qing's voice rang out once more. "Young Union Master Lu, if you have anything to say, why don't you come out and say it? Or do you want me to go in and find you?"
Lu Xuan sneered. No matter how stupid he was, he wouldn't foolishly rush out and enter the enemy's encirclement. In comparison, this forest with a more complicated terrain was naturally safer than the outside.
"You are too ugly. I don't want to see you."
Sikong Qing snorted coldly when he heard that. It wasn't easy for him to capture Lu Xuan today, so no matter what, he had to capture him. A single Lu Xuan had caused them so much trouble. Not to mention the others, three out of the Sikong Clan's Four Great Elders had actually died at the hands of Lu Xuan. If he didn't take revenge for this, how would his Sikong Clan continue to stand? How were they going to intimidate the other families?
"Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for making you drink the forfeit!" As soon as Sikong Qing finished speaking, he waved his hand and all the experts of the Sikong Clan immediately flew up and sped towards Lu Xuan's location at lightning speed.
Lu Xuan's heart went cold when he noticed the movements of everyone from the Sikong Clan. He really didn't guess wrongly, every single move of his was actually completely within Sikong Qing's grasp, and it was as if a pair of eyes were staring at him from the unseen world.
"Prepare for battle! They're coming in! " Lu Xuan lightly shouted. At the same time, he quickly glanced at his surroundings. His hands quickly formed seals and runes condensed in the air.
Countless lines that were invisible to the naked eye filled the forest around Lu Xuan, connecting with the trees one after another, stringing the entire forest into a huge net. Streams of wood-elemental energy were constantly being emitted from the many giant trees, flowing through the lines of runes and growing endlessly.
The instant the cultivators from the Sikong Clan charged into the forest, they suddenly felt their speed slow down. It was as if they were fettered by invisible thorns.
"There's a formation, be careful." An old man with half white hair behind Sikong Qing shouted in a deep voice. Hearing this, all the cultivators stopped in their tracks, not daring to rashly advance.
Whether it was the commotion Lu Xuan caused in the Sikong Clan or the news of Sikong Dong's death, they didn't dare to underestimate Lu Xuan at all. If they were careless, they might end up dead. After all, even an expert like Sikong Dong, who was at the pinnacle of the Absolute Void Stage and had the help of the Inescapable Snare Golden Bell Array, had died.
Just as the old man with half white hair tried to break the formation, he quickly frowned. Only now did he realize that it wasn't a formation at all.
"This isn't a formation, it's a world of talismans." The old man with half white hair looked ahead and said, "I didn't expect Lu Xuan's attainments in talismans to have reached such a level. He used the rich wood-attributed energy in the forest to construct a talisman world, which greatly increased the toughness of this talisman world. Unless one uses an extremely strong force to forcefully tear this world apart, or raze this forest to the ground, there's no way to break it."
"They're moving, they're trying to escape!" Sikong Qing said coldly, "The few of you, go out and block them. The rest, follow me! Who cares what kind of world it is, I don't believe that we can't take down a mere Lu Xuan without the help of the old ancestor! "
This time, Sikong Qing really didn't alarm Sikong Zhengqing again. Sikong Zhengqing was already very dissatisfied with Sikong Zhengqing's ability the last time he asked Sikong Zhengqing to take action. If he still needed Sikong Zhengqing to take action for the sake of Lu Xuan this time, Sikong Qing's position as the Patriarch would probably come to an end.
However, even if he didn't alarm Sikong Zhengqing, it didn't mean that Sikong Qing would look down on Lu Xuan. This time, he brought four current elders of the Sikong Clan who were at level eight of the Grand Void Stage, two reclusive elders who were at the pinnacle of the Grand Void Stage, and many experts with extraordinary battle strength. As long as he caught up with Lu Xuan, there was absolutely no reason for Lu Xuan to escape!
"Run, that old man's strength is extraordinary. I'm afraid my talisman world won't be able to hold them for long." Lu Xuan and Ling Jin quickly broke out of the encirclement on the other side. He could feel that the gray-haired old man was already trying to destroy his talisman world.
Different from the last time he dealt with Sikong Dong and the others, the gray-haired old man that Sikong Qing brought with him this time was obviously very accomplished in the Talisman Dao. His talisman world might have a miraculous effect on Sikong Dong and the others, but Lu Xuan's method was not too troublesome in front of an expert in the Talisman Dao. However, Lu Xuan deliberately used the wood energy of the entire forest to obstruct the old man.
Sensing that Lu Xuan and Ling Jin were running for their lives, the gray-haired old man sneered and said, "Since you've displayed your talisman world, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man waved his hand and took out a pitch-black wooden staff. He waved it lightly, and in an instant, the branches of the trees in the entire forest swayed along with his wooden staff. The shadows of the countless branches flickered like a group of demons dancing in a frenzy. It was a frightening sight.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan's heart sank slightly. He had actually forgotten that the Sikong Clan was not only proficient in Gu Insects, but they were even more proficient in the wood energy. Now that he was fighting in this forest, he was afraid that he had really fallen into the enemy's trap.
