After collecting the soul essence of the deep sea demonic ape, Lu Xiaotian didn't even have time to collect the materials from the demonic ape's body before he felt dozens of auras of various sizes rushing towards him from all directions.
It was the smell of blood that had attracted other demonic beasts. Previously, these demonic beasts were afraid of being caught in the crossfire because the demonic ape's aura was too frightening. Now, they finally couldn't resist the temptation of the smell of blood and rushed over from all directions. Lu Xiaotian sighed inwardly. He only took one Yao Dan and didn't even have time to take the other Yao Dan before he hurriedly left. The demonic beasts that rushed over from all directions had varying strengths. As a human, it was very likely that he would be besieged by all kinds of demonic beasts in the sea. Lu Xiaotian didn't want to take this risk. Furthermore, it was already a pleasant surprise to be able to obtain such a tyrannical eighth rank demonic beast's soul essence. Now was not the time to be greedy.
However, ever since he obtained the soul essence of the deep sea demonic ape, Lu Xiaotian's luck wasn't as good as it was now. Even the number of times he encountered seventh rank demonic beasts was extremely few.
However, Lu Xiaotian didn't care. In this way, four years passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Lu Xiaotian had already been in the Jin Dan stage for thirty years. He was still limited to the early stage of the Jin Dan stage. However, in terms of the density of his transcendence energy, it couldn't be compared to when he had just formed his Gold Core. Every movement he made had a more condensed aura. At this time, the Eight Trigrams Demon Sealing Formation had also been completed. However, even until now, he still hadn't encountered the rumored Misty Hall.
Lu Xiaotian wasn't anxious because he noticed that during this period of time, the number of human cultivators he encountered seemed to have increased. In the past, he might not even encounter one in several months. After all, the sea was endless. Although there were many cultivators hunting demonic beasts, when divided among the vast sea, they were as insignificant as a drop in the ocean. Lu Xiaotian had also been trying his best to avoid meeting other cultivators.
However, during this period of time, the number of cultivators that appeared seemed to have increased. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but be moved. Could it be that these people also came for the rumored Misty Hall?
If that was the case, it meant that waiting here was just right. Unexpectedly, there were more people than he imagined.
"Hmm?" After evading several cultivators in a row, Lu Xiaotian sensed another cultivator heading towards him. Frowning, Lu Xiaotian changed his direction. It did not take long for him to encounter another cultivator. Coincidentally, that cultivator had appeared right in front of him.
"Are these people coming for me?" Lu Xiaotian's expression sank. He pulled out the Earth Splitter and was about to attack when the other party sent out several people to surround him. He couldn't let them completely surround him before attacking. He had to break through the encirclement first.
"Lu Daoyou, wait a moment. We can be considered old friends," a grey-robed cultivator hurriedly shouted from the side.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Zhao. It's a pleasure to meet you." Lu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect to meet Heavenly Sea Pavilion's Zhao Nanxing here. Back when he was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was invited by Fu Dongming to compete in his place. Because of his attainments in array formations, Zhao Nanxing appreciated him. Later, Zhao Nanxing wanted to invite him to explore a secret realm. However, Lu Xiaotian waited for more than twenty years in Blue Nether City and didn't receive any news from Zhao Nanxing, so he could only take it as a failure. Later on, he also ran around to increase his strength, so he put this matter aside. After all, Zhao Nanxing didn't want to invite him, so he must have made other preparations. If he insisted on going, it might arouse Zhao Nanxing's killing intent. Zhao Nanxing was from Heavenly Sea Pavilion. Although Heavenly Sea Pavilion's influence wasn't great, it wasn't small either. It wasn't something he could afford to provoke.
However, he didn't expect that after thirty years, the two of them would meet here. It was a bit strange. What was even stranger was that the secret realm Zhao Nanxing wanted to explore was very likely the Misty Hall.
"I didn't expect to meet Lu Daoyou here. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and Lu Daoyou has already become a Jin Dan cultivator. His cultivation doesn't seem to be shallow either. It seems that Lu Daoyou's talent is not bad. He has a high chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future." Lu Xiaotian was surprised. At this time, Zhao Nanxing was even more amazed. After all, when he first met Lu Xiaotian, Lu Xiaotian had to call him senior. Now, they were on the same level. Moreover, he couldn't sense any fluctuations in the magic power on Lu Xiaotian's body. This made Zhao Nanxing even more shocked.
"Old Zhao, you're so long-winded. Where did this kid come from? If he's just a chance acquaintance, I'll finish him off first. " A bare-chested middle-aged man with a large green birthmark covering half of his face looked at Lu Xiaotian with an unfriendly expression. He held a magic tool that looked like a fisherman's fishing hairpin in his hand.
Lu Xiaotian's expression didn't change. He was carefully sizing up the other five people surrounding him. He was thinking about which direction he should take to break out of the encirclement if a fight broke out. But soon, Lu Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat. Another green-robed old man with long red eyebrows shot over like a shooting star. It was actually Scarlet Cloud Sang, a late Jin Dan cultivator who had been teleported to Lishui City with him from Lanming City four years ago!
After Scarlet Cloud Sang appeared, Lu Xiaotian calmed down. Scarlet Cloud Sang's speed was much faster than his. Even if he used the black and white alms bowls, it would be difficult to completely escape from him.
"Fellow Daoist, we seem to have met before." Scarlet Cloud Sang frowned as he glanced at Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian respectfully said, "Fellow Daoist Scarlet is very busy. Four years ago, I was teleported to Lishui City with Fellow Daoist Scarlet from Lanming City."
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Fellow Daoist looked so familiar. Fellow Daoist Zhao, our group is already quite large. It's not worthwhile to add one more person. Tell me, why did you have everyone go through so much trouble to intercept this person? "Scarlet Cloud Sang's hands were tucked into the wide sleeves of his robe as he glanced at Zhao Nanxing.
Lu Xiaotian's heart sank. Not only was Scarlet Cloud Sang powerful, but he was also extremely shrewd. He didn't feel anything just because they had come to Lishui City together. Instead, he said that he was unnecessary. However, he didn't say how he would deal with him, which made Lu Xiaotian's heart beat like a drum. The feeling of having one's life and death in the hands of others was truly unpleasant.
Facing Scarlet Cloud Sang's question, Zhao Nanxing quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Scarlet might not know, but although this Lu Daoyou is young, his attainments in formations are not low. He far surpasses us."
