For three consecutive days, the Golden Arrow Sect's encampment was very peaceful.
It was as if the conflict on the street never happened. The Spirit King Manor also did not send anyone to settle the score. This was somewhat out of Lin Xuan's expectations.
However, Lin Xuan took advantage of these few days to refine more than fifty Condensing Essence Pills and finally raised his True Yuan cultivation to the mid-level of the Divine Astral Realm, the same level as the Demon-Buster Golden Body.
Red Stone City was also very lively these few days.
This was because the Spirit King Crown Prince, Yu Guangqi, had not only recruited a large number of unaffiliated guards, but also gave the martial arts sects a special benefit, which was to exchange Blood Essence Pills for live Ferocious Beasts.
Five Class 2 Ferocious Beasts could be exchanged for one Blood Essence Pill, and one Class 3 Ferocious Beast could be exchanged for five Blood Essence Pills.
For the various sects and clans, this was simply a huge benefit.
Currently, the Northern Wilderness did not lack Ferocious Beasts. As long as one left the city, they could encounter Ferocious Beasts alone or in groups at any time, and most of them were powerful Ferocious Beasts with the bloodline of the Dragons clan.
After killing a Ferocious Beast, a normal martial artist could only plunder a portion of the Ferocious Beast's body. As for the Ferocious Beast's blood and essence, they could only let it rot away.
Even if they brought it back to the mainland, they could only sell it to some Atman Body Realm martial artists, and the price was so low that they could not even earn back the travel expenses.
But now, these Ferocious Beasts could be sold to the Thunder Lion Army in exchange for Blood Essence Pills. This was simply a good thing that fell from the sky.
As such, within a 250-mile radius of Red Stone City, there was soon a Ferocious Beast Hunt that was a hundred times more intense than before.
Being conferred the title of King, Marquis, and the inheritance of the Human Emperor was not something that could be done overnight. It was extremely distant for normal martial artists.
However, the Blood Essence Pill was a tangible benefit.
After resting for three days, the Golden Arrow Sect finally could not wait any longer. Under the lead of a few elders, hundreds of disciples of the Golden Arrow Sect rode out of Red Stone City in a grandiose manner.
Lin Xuan, Yin Xueqiao, and the rest were also mixed in with the group.
However, most of the disciples of the Golden Arrow Sect kept a distance from Lin Xuan and the rest, as if they were deliberately drawing a line.
Lin Xuan sneered in his heart and did not mind.
After all, there were not many fools in this world. Everyone knew that Yin Xueqiao was being targeted by the Spirit King Manor.
The Spirit King Manor and the Thunder Lion Army were extremely powerful, and they were not something that these three to five hundred people could contend against.
At a time like this, the friendship between fellow disciples and the dignity of the sect could all be put aside. His own life was more important.
Even some of the guys who used to chase after Yin Xueqiao quietly distanced themselves from her.
At this moment, there was only Lin Xuan, the three senior and junior sisters who had received her kindness, and Que 'er beside her.
Yin Xueqiao rode on the back of the tall Winged Tiger. Her expression was calm but there was a faint trace of worry in the depths of her beautiful eyes. She looked at her fellow disciples in the distance and asked Que 'er beside her in a low voice, "Que' er, when will the reinforcements from the House of Marquis arrive?"
"Miss, I'm afraid the earliest would be tomorrow," Que 'er said.
"Tomorrow?"
Yin Xueqiao sighed softly with a complicated expression.
Lin Xuan rode on a snow leopard and glanced sideways at the young girl. He smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Yin Xueqiao blushed and said softly, "Senior Brother Chen, I've troubled you. After we get through this ordeal, I'll definitely thank you greatly."
Lin Xuan's eyes moved and he laughed softly, "Oh? How do you plan to thank me? "
Lin Xuan immediately regretted his words the moment they left his mouth.
Although he felt that his relationship with Yin Xueqiao was unusual, in fact, his identity as Chen Huang was not familiar with Yin Xueqiao. They had not even met in the sect before.
Indeed, Yin Xueqiao's expression changed when she heard this and she looked at him cautiously.
Lin Xuan smiled embarrassedly and quickly tried to salvage the situation, "Junior Sister Yin, I was just joking. You don't have to take it seriously. Actually, the reason why I helped you was because I have some enmity with Yu Guangqi. He must have some ulterior motive for wanting to capture you. How could I let him have his way? "
"Is that so?"
Yin Xueqiao looked at him suspiciously with a questioning gaze.
Lin Xuan rubbed his nose and smiled, "Of course, I can't bear to see Junior Sister Yin get hurt by a villain."
Yin Xueqiao looked deeply at Lin Xuan and said faintly, "No matter what, I'm very grateful to Senior Brother Chen."
Qiao 'er snorted softly and glared at Lin Xuan warily. She was like an old hen protecting her young. She opened her small mouth but did not say anything.
Gradually, the group arrived 30 kilometers east of Crimson Stone City.
Elder Zhuo Ziqian stopped in his tracks and announced loudly to the crowd, "Fellow disciples, we came to the North Barren in the first place to obtain cultivation resources and forge the foundation of our martial path.
Today, His Highness has opened up the exchange of Blood Vitality Pills. As long as we catch Fierce Beasts, we can exchange them for Blood Vitality Pills. This is a great opportunity for us. It's not easy to come across such an opportunity.
Next, everyone will split into groups and hunt freely within a radius of 500 kilometers. While preserving your own safety, try to catch as many Fierce Beasts as possible.
However, His Highness did not give us such benefits without conditions.
Seven days later, our Golden Arrow Sect must join the Thunder Lion Army and participate in the second war against the Blood Wyrm Tribe.
Therefore, before the war begins, everyone must gather at Crimson Stone City, regardless of whether or not we find anything. Do you all understand? "
"Understood."
A few voices of agreement sounded from the crowd.
"Good! Then let's split into groups and act separately! "
Zhuo Ziqian waved his hand and led a group of close disciples into the forest.
The rest of the people also split into groups of three to five people or dozens of people. They each chose a direction and scattered.
Zhuo Shaoyu looked at his second uncle who had left and smiled at Lin Xuan. "Senior Brother Chen, I'm weak. I'm afraid I won't be of much use if I follow you. I think I should …"
"Go!"
Lin Xuan waved his hand impatiently.
This kid was obviously worried that he would get into trouble if he followed Yin Xueqiao.
However, he was indeed trash and could not be counted on during a battle. Lin Xuan simply told him to get lost.
"Then I'll go!"
Zhuo Shaoyu felt as if he had been pardoned. He beamed with joy and urged his mount to chase after Zhuo Ziqian's group.
Yin Xueqiao looked over and asked, "Senior Brother Chen, if the King Manor wants to attack us, they won't let go of this opportunity. What do you plan to do?"
Before Lin Xuan could speak, a young girl said, "Senior Sister Yin, I think we should take this opportunity to escape as far as possible! The teleportation formation in Que Province is controlled by the Spirit King Manor. We can't use it, but the Spirit King Manor can't control the teleportation formations in Wu Province and Summer Province too, right? "
Yin Xueqiao's eyes flashed. She seemed to be tempted.
Lin Xuan was conflicted.
To be honest, he did not want Yin Xueqiao to leave the Northern Wilderness. If he simply wanted to escort Yin Xueqiao out of the Northern Wilderness, it would be easy for him.
But just as Zhuo Shaoyu had guessed, to open the Dayin Relic, they might need the royal bloodline of the Dayin Kingdom.
If the Magic Lotus Sect took over Heaven Song City in the future, but could not do anything about the treasure under their feet, it would be a little depressing.
Moreover, from a sentimental point of view, he could not bear to part with her. Even if he was looking at that delicate face from afar, it was still pleasing to the eye, making him unable to stop himself.
At this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly raised his eyebrows and felt a sense of danger.
He secretly observed his martial arts fate and realized that it had turned completely red. This undoubtedly meant that there was going to be a huge battle.
"Senior Brother Chen, what's wrong?"
Yin Xueqiao noticed that Lin Xuan's expression was not right and asked aloud.
Lin Xuan looked around and said in a low voice, "We can't stay here for long. Yu Guangqi's men might arrive in a moment. Let's leave first!"
Hearing this, everyone's expression turned serious.
"Follow me!"
Lin Xuan did not say much. He urged the Snow Leopard to charge into a dense forest in the distance.
The Spirit King Residence would strike again and it would be extremely powerful. With just a few spiritual talismans, it would be difficult for him to deal with it. He would definitely expose his true strength.
However, the situation was not very clear now and Lin Xuan did not want to expose himself yet.
Their only choice was to wipe out the enemy, and they had to choose a suitable battlefield to do so.
Yin Xueqiao and the rest looked at each other and followed behind.
Just as the six of them moved, a group of armored figures suddenly appeared on the horizon behind them. They reflected the sunlight and were dazzling.
At the same time, the iron hooves stomped on the ground and rumbled, causing the earth to shake.
"Damn it! Yu Guangqi actually mobilized the Thunder Lion Army! "
Lin Xuan looked back and his expression turned cold.
The Spirit King Residence was different from the King Qin's Residence in the Summer Region.
The King Qin's Residence had limited control over the Tianding Army and was already a mere figurehead.
However, the Spirit King Residence held the Thunder Lion Army firmly in their hands. They were like their own private army and could be mobilized at will.
Looking at the number of enemies, there were probably more than a thousand of them. They were determined to capture Yin Xueqiao!
After charging into the forest, Lin Xuan went ten miles deep. When he found a large valley, he rushed in without hesitation.
"Senior Brother Chen, this is a valley. I'm afraid there's no road ahead. Are we going to be trapped?" Yin Xueqiao asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. We won't be trapped."
Lin Xuan stopped in the valley, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
Almost as soon as they stopped, a rumbling sound of iron hooves approached the entrance of the valley, raising a cloud of dust.
At the front were 36 Inner Guards led by Gao Jin. Each of them had a strong aura and a murderous look on their faces.
Gao Jin's expression was cold as he shouted, "Everyone, we've already made a military order before we left. If we can't capture Yin Xueqiao, we'll kill ourselves as an apology! Therefore, even if we have to pay with our lives, we must complete the mission! Do you understand? "
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The cavalry behind him waved their weapons and roared in unison. Their murderous aura soared to the sky.
When they reached the entrance of the valley, Gao Jin stopped and waved his hand. "Yin Xueqiao, I only want her alive! Kill the rest without mercy! Go! "
"Kill!"
Rumble!
More than a thousand men rushed into the valley without stopping. They rushed toward Lin Xuan and the others like a tidal wave. Their murderous aura covered the sky and covered the earth. It was suffocating.
Gao Jin looked down from above and stared coldly at Lin Xuan. The corners of his mouth curled into a cruel and cold smile.
