The sun was setting in the west, and its afterglow illuminated the world.
A group of nearly 10,000 people in black robes left Griffin Ridge and headed towards the depths of the mountains in the northwest. They cast long shadows under the setting sun, looking somewhat bleak and desolate.
In the middle of the group, Lin Xuan was riding on the back of a tall snow leopard. His back was straight, and he looked firm and proud.
He looked back at Griffin Ridge and the Heavenly Tripod City in the distance. His eyes were cold and deep.
Life was like a tide, with ups and downs.
Lin Xuan had been in the world for more than a year, but he had already experienced many exciting things that many people had never experienced in their lives.
He had once killed the son of the Dragon God, attracting the attention of the world.
He had once been blessed by the heavens, surpassing countless geniuses.
He had once been chased away by powerful enemies and was as panicked as a stray dog.
He had once looked down on his peers, gathered the masses, and taught the world.
He had once slain the true dragon and was conferred the title of Marquis. He was a role model for all the young people in the world...
But today, his dazzling life had once again taken a turn.
He had become the leader of the demons in the eyes of the world, a shining golden stepping stone.
When the imperial edict was announced to the world, all the geniuses in the world wanted to use him as a stepping stone to soar into the sky and become the king of the world.
Lin Xuan was definitely unhappy about all this, but it would be hypocritical to say that he was depressed or desperate.
"You want to capture me, Lin Xuan, and be conferred the title of King? Haha, I'll use facts to tell you that you're thinking too much. "
Lin Xuan indifferently glanced at the faintly discernible greedy gazes as the corners of his mouth curled into a wild sneer.
When he had escaped from Dragon Boundary Mountain, two super forces had placed a high bounty on his head. He had been chased by countless experts, but he had never been afraid of anyone.
Now, his strength was far beyond his peers, and he had endless means. His strength was infinitely close to the peak of the Northern Wilderness, and he had gathered tens of thousands of elites from the Magic Lotus Sect. Why would he be afraid?
It was not that he was arrogant, but even if all the forces in the Northern Wilderness joined forces to kill him, he was confident that he could deal with them calmly.
He turned back and fiercely squeezed his mount. He shouted, "Speed up. We must reach the Scarlet Mountain before dawn tomorrow!"
"Understood!"
Yan Hui cupped his hands in acknowledgement and immediately gave the order.
Rumble!
The huge troop began to accelerate, raising a cloud of dust. In a few breaths of time, they disappeared into the mottled horizon.
On Griffin Ridge, countless experts from various sects watched the Magic Lotus Sect leave from afar. Their eyes were filled with anticipation, but no one made a move in the end.
Not only were they wary of Lin Xuan and the Magic Lotus Sect, but they were also wary of the Five Paths of the Demonic Abyss.
The Demonic Abyss was filled with powerful fighters. Even if the people from the Magic Lotus Sect were excluded, they were still a powerful force that could not be ignored in the Northern Wilderness.
Ji Xueyan looked at Lin Xuan's slightly bleak and burly figure from afar. She could not help but say indignantly, "Big Brother, are we just going to watch Lin Xuan be demoted to the Evil Demon Sect and be chased away from the Northern Wilderness?
The internal rebellion of the Magic Lotus Sect is not Lin Xuan's fault. Someone is clearly framing the Magic Lotus Sect. This is unfair to Lin Xuan! "
Ji Wenfeng smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly, "Little Sister, there is no such thing as true fairness in this world. This matter has risen to another level of competition. It is not something that we can get involved in at the moment.
However, you don't have to worry about Lin Xuan. With Lin Xuan's strength and methods, as long as he doesn't court death, no one in the Northern Wilderness can kill him. Not the Keelung Sect, not the Dragons clan. As for the other forces who want to deal with Lin Xuan, haha, they are just asking for humiliation. "
"But I just can't stand it."
Ji Xueyan sighed dejectedly. Seeing Lin Xuan's bleak expression before he left, she could not help but feel a pang of heartache. If not for the fact that she still had some sense of reason, she really wanted to leave with that person and follow him to the ends of the world.
Shui Qianxun walked over and held Ji Xueyan's small hand. She smiled and advised, "Little Sister Xiao Yan, instead of worrying about Lin Xuan, why don't you worry about Lin Xuan's opponents? We have known Lin Xuan for more than half a year now. When have you ever seen him suffer a loss? Don't worry, the world is unpredictable. Who knows, we might meet Lin Xuan again very soon. At that time, you can confide in Lin Xuan. "
"Senior Sister Shui! You — what are you talking about! There's nothing between Lin Xuan and I — there's nothing between us — "
Ji Xueyan's small face instantly flushed red. She glared at Shui Qianxun in embarrassment and anger, unable to say anything for a moment.
"Hehe! Alright, Big Sister knows there's nothing between you two. "Shui Qianxun smiled playfully.
However, Ji Wenfeng couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She looked at her little sister's expression, which was somewhat uncertain.
Her little sister's current behavior clearly showed that she had feelings for Lin Xuan!
That despicable Lin Xuan! You already have so many women, yet you still dare to provoke my little sister. The next time we meet, this young master will definitely teach you a lesson!
Ji Wenfeng was inwardly furious.
At this moment, a tall youth suddenly walked out of the crowd. He raised his arms and shouted in a bewitching tone, "Fellow Daoists, although Lin Xuan and the Magic Lotus Sect were once our comrades-in-arms, they have now abandoned the human race and joined the demons. What are we waiting for?
Exterminating the demons and shaking the universe — isn't that where the righteousness of us martial artists lies?
Furthermore, didn't we come to the Northern Wilderness to kill the other races, obtain battle merits, and be bestowed the title of King?
Today, as long as we capture Lin Xuan, we can become King in one step. Is there a better shortcut than this — "
"Who are you?"
Before the young man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold female voice.
It was a beautiful girl with a cold aura who walked out of the Demon Abyss' group. It was Ji Xueyan.
The youth couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise, but then he said proudly, "I am Xu Changling, a disciple of the Controlling Spirit Sect! Miss, you should be from the Demon Abyss. Could it be that you want to protect that demon Lin Xuan? "
"You!"
Ji Xueyan was so angry that she couldn't wait to draw her sword and cut this guy into pieces.
However, logic told her that if she was really accused of protecting Lin Xuan, the Demon Abyss would probably stand on the opposite side of the martial arts world in the future. Not only would this not help Lin Xuan, but it would also put the entire Demon Abyss in an awkward position.
Seeing that his little sister was defeated, Ji Wenfeng couldn't help but snort coldly. He took a step forward and said, "So you are a disciple of the Controlling Spirit Sect! That's just right, the Demon Abyss has a debt to settle with the Controlling Spirit Sect. Today, we have found the right person! "
"Hmm? What do you mean? "Xu Changling's expression changed, and he asked warily.
Ji Wenfeng sneered sinisterly. "The founding ancestor of the Controlling Spirit Sect once borrowed the Dao weapon of one of our Demon Abyss' grandmasters and has yet to return it! Today, you will pay this debt! "
Xu Changling was dumbfounded for a moment, and then he couldn't help but fly into a rage. "Nonsense! Our Controlling Spirit Sect is one of the ten great sects of the ancient era. Why would we need to borrow from others — "
Ji Wenfeng interrupted him coldly and shouted, "It is right and proper to repay a debt! Men, take him down. Today, we must not let anyone from the Controlling Spirit Sect escape! No matter what, this debt has to be settled! "
"Understood!"
More than a dozen Demon Abyss experts immediately stepped out in response. They withdrew their weapons and aggressively pressed towards Xu Changling.
Xu Changling's expression changed greatly. He looked at the various factions behind him and said, "Fellow Daoists, the Demon Abyss clearly intends to protect the Magic Lotus Sect. Everyone, please act together and kill these demons of the Demon Abyss!"
However, after he finished speaking, he found in despair that the surrounding martial practitioners not only did not come forward to help, they all quietly retreated and drew a clear line with him.
Those pairs of eyes looked at him as though they were looking at an idiot.
Just these people wanted to kill the Demon Abyss? Haha, it was more likely that they would be killed by the Demon Abyss.
Only a young girl stood behind him. It was his junior sister, Zheng Xiu 'er.
"Senior Brother! The Demon Abyss clearly intends to bully us! We are not their match, let's retreat first! "Zheng Xiu 'er said urgently.
Seeing the Demon Abyss experts coming closer, Xu Changling was so angry that his eyes were about to crack. He roared unwillingly and turned to flee into the distance.
"People of the Demon Abyss, just you wait! I, Xu Changling, will let you know my power sooner or later! "
"Don't run if you have the guts! I will let you know my power now! "
The Demon Abyss experts chased closely.
At this moment, Xu Changling's anger was at its peak.
A while ago, he went to see Maki Cangsheng and wanted to cooperate with Maki Cangsheng to deal with Lin Xuan. However, he was sent away without even seeing Maki Cangsheng's face.
Today, he had planned to take the opportunity to incite the martial factions to hit Lin Xuan when he was down. Unexpectedly, he was easily taken care of by the Demon Abyss.
This was a huge blow to him.
At this moment, he hated the heavens, hated the earth, hated the Demon Abyss, hated Lin Xuan, and hated those cold martial practitioners.
