In the next two days, the Northern Wilderness was filled with experts from foreign races hunting down their targets. From time to time, human experts would be discovered and killed.
Even Qiu Wuju was in a predicament several times. However, he relied on his top-grade Taoist Sword again and again to fight his way out.
However, his injuries were getting worse. In the past two days, he had not only consumed a large amount of Primordial Energy and Blood Qi, but also could not replenish them in time. He had aged by dozens of years.
This situation only improved slightly after he met up with dozens of his subordinates.
At this point, he did not want to fight with the foreign races anymore. He only wanted to hide and recover his strength before killing Lin Xuan. He wanted to return to the mainland as soon as possible. The Northern Wilderness was too dangerous. He did not want to stay a moment longer.
In the past two days, Lin Xuan followed Liu Ruzhen's back under the guidance of the Will Sword, ready to take action at any time.
One evening, it was raining cats and dogs. The sky was filled with mist and visibility was extremely low.
An old and thin silhouette descended from the sky like a big bird, and dove into the ruins of an old city. Then, he retracted his aura.
Liu Ruzhen found a dilapidated palace that could barely shelter him from the rain and sat down cross-legged in a clean place. He first swallowed a few elixirs and then took out a few upper-grade Primordial Stones to absorb Primordial Energy to recover his strength.
In the great battle two days ago, Liu Ruzhen had been hit by a poisonous flood dragon and had been poisoned. Fortunately, he had been prepared and had cleared the remaining poison on his way to escape. However, he had encountered several ambushes along the way and had consumed a lot of his Origin Energy.
He had just felt Qiu Wuju's call. He was about 3,000 miles away from here. He planned to recover a little and then rush over to meet up with Qiu Wuju.
However, just as he was concentrating on absorbing Primordial Energy to recover, a golden figure suddenly emerged from the ground. A big hand with sharp claws instantly pierced his head.
Puff —
Bang!
After the Golden Corpse Ancient Star Soul pierced Liu Ruzhen's head, it shook gently and killed his Divine Soul.
Liu Ruzhen did not even have time to scream before his Divine Soul dissipated.
Gu Xinghun grabbed Liu Ruzhen's corpse and quickly devoured all of her blood and vital energy. All that was left was a grayish-white skeleton on the ground.
"After killing one of Huang Dao Slave's eyes and ears, it's Qiu Wuju's turn now!"
Lin Xuan's figure appeared, his lips curled into a faint sneer.
He bent down and took off Liu Ruzhen's Storage Ring. Then, he used the Sword of Will again. The image of Qiu Wuju appeared in his mind.
…
Griffin Ridge, Northern Wasteland, in a spacious underground cave.
More than sixty miserable figures sat cross-legged on the ground, either swallowing pills to heal their wounds or refining primordial stones to recover their strength. All of their faces were filled with fatigue and dejection.
These people were all members of the Human Race who had escaped from Guan Xue City. Not long ago, they were still awe-inspiring Human Race powerhouses.
But now, they were like a pack of stray dogs. Almost all of them were injured, and most of them were very weak. The atmosphere in the cave was oppressive and heavy.
At the end of the cave, the sword case that contained the Seven Killing Shao Feng Sword lay quietly on the ground, without a trace of murderous aura.
The two upper-grade Primordial Stones in Qiu Wuju's hands gradually lost their vital energy and turned into powder. The blood light on his body also gradually faded.
Qiu Wuju opened his eyes. Two streaks of blood light flashed, and he quickly regained his clarity.
"Sigh, I didn't expect this trip to be so dangerous. A few Dragons are already so difficult to deal with. I wonder how serious the situation will be when the Dragons invade in the future!" Qiu Wuju sighed, a trace of worry appearing in his eyes.
This trip to the Northern Wasteland had suffered heavy losses before the completion of the mission. This made him very angry.
However, he did not look dejected. As a Sword Principle expert, his heart was already as strong as iron. No matter how difficult the situation was, he would not be defeated.
At this moment, he had calmed down and carefully reflected. He realized that he had indeed underestimated the Mutated Tribe.
Now, he would not fight the Mutated Tribe head-on anymore. Instead, he would focus on dealing with Lin Xuan and complete the mission given to him by his superiors.
Not far from him, Ji Donglai also opened his eyes. He let out a long sigh and said, "The Mutated Tribe is indeed not to be underestimated! Lin Xuan and Sheng Lian said. It was truly not easy for them to be able to hold on for as long as ten years under the attacks of the foreign races!
Guardian Qiu, now that the Mutated Tribe is so powerful, we should unite all the forces of the human race to fight against the Mutated Tribe. As for Lin Xuan, shouldn't we … "
Qiu Wuju coldly humphed, interrupted Ji Donglai, and said in a deep voice, "Guardian Ji, I know what you want to say!
I admit that Lin Xuan and Saint Lotus Dao have made a great contribution to the fight against the Mutated Tribe, but this is not a reason for him to be unruly!
Lin Xuan has an unprecedented and heaven-defying martial fate. In time, he will become a generation's expert, and may even surpass the entire True Martial Domain! There is no doubt that this boy has the potential!
It is a pity that this boy cannot be used by the mountain. Instead, he is in cahoots with the Lotus Demon. If he is allowed to develop, he will become the scourge of the True Martial Domain.
As the saying goes, the greater the power, the greater the danger. I even dare to say that this boy will be no less dangerous than the Mutated Tribe in the future.
What we need to do now is to strangle this danger in the cradle in advance, so that it can be dealt with in the future! "
Ji Donglai raised his sword-like eyebrows and said hesitantly, "Actually, if we were a little more lenient with our conditions, Lin Xuan might be able to work for us. Young people are always a little arrogant. We were too hasty."
Qiu Wuju laughed coldly and shook his head. "Brother Ji, you're being too soft-hearted. Lin Xuan is a vicious and merciless person, treacherous and cunning. If we can't control such a person with harsh methods, then we can only eliminate him! If we relax the conditions and Lin Xuan betrays us in the future, I am afraid we will not even have the chance to regret it. "
"Alas." Ji Donglai shook his head and sighed. He felt very regretful.
Because he loved his grandchildren Ji Wenfeng and Ji Xueyan very much, he had never relaxed his attention on them. Therefore, he had also noticed Lin Xuan early on.
It could be said that he had watched Lin Xuan grow step by step from a nobody at the True Energy Realm in Viewing Snow City to the current young hero who had stirred up a storm in the world.
The talent, intelligence, and methods that Lin Xuan had displayed made him admire him greatly.
Moreover, he also knew that his precious granddaughter Ji Xueyan was interested in Lin Xuan.
If Lin Xuan could agree to surrender to the mountain, he would even consider taking Lin Xuan as his son-in-law and pull Lin Xuan into the Ji Faction.
Unfortunately, he was not the one in charge of this trip to the Northern Wilderness. Everything had to be decided by Qiu Wuju.
At this moment, a young sword practitioner with a calm face walked over and bowed to Qiu Wuju. "Master, I just found out that Senior Liu Ruzhen is dead."
"What?"
Qiu Wuju's expression changed drastically. He asked anxiously, "Ling 'er, how did Liu Ruzhen die?"
"She should have died at the hands of Lin Xuan," Yang Ling said calmly.
Yang Ling was Qiu Wuju's only disciple. He had received Qiu Wuju's teachings since he was young and regarded Qiu Wuju as his master and father. His talent in swordsmanship was even above his master's. He was also the young sword practitioner who had injured Li Haoqing a few days ago.
"Lin Xuan? Damn it! "
Qiu Wuju was furious. He hammered his fist on the ground, causing the entire karst cave to tremble. Dust rustled and fell.
Liu Ruzhen was a tracking master that he had specially requested from the headquarters. As long as Liu Ruzhen was around, even if Lin Xuan went to heaven or hell, he would not be able to shake her off.
But now, Liu Ruzhen was dead.
With Lin Xuan's cautiousness, it would be difficult to track him down. How were they going to carry on with this mission?
Moreover, there were countless foreign race experts out there who were searching for them. It was destined that they would not be able to find Lin Xuan openly.
Even Ji Donglai frowned. If this trip to the Northern Wilderness ended halfway, it would be a disgrace to everyone.
However, if they were to continue, the difficulty of this mission would increase by many folds. It would be a problem if they could even return to the mainland alive.
Ji Donglai hesitated for a moment and said tentatively, "Guardian Qiu, since things have come to this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to fulfill our wish.
Why don't we retreat first and gather the experts from various sects. We can also let everyone rest and come back to the Northern Wilderness to deal with Lin Xuan another day. "
"No!"
Qiu Wuju was exasperated and refused immediately. He said angrily, "If we retreat like this, how can we face the world?
Once we go back, I'm afraid the next time we come back, it won't be you or me! No matter what, we must take care of Lin Xuan before we retreat! "
Ji Donglai frowned and said unhappily, "Guardian Qiu, you're being impulsive. Without Liu Ruzhen, dealing with Lin Xuan is like looking for a needle in a haystack. We don't even know where he is, how can we deal with him?"
"There will always be a way!" Qiu Wuju said stubbornly, not giving in.
At this moment, Yang Ling said, "Master, Guardian Ji, you don't have to worry about this. In my humble opinion, even if we don't look for Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan will come to us. "
"Huh?"
Qiu Wuju and Ji Donglai were stunned and looked at Yang Ling.
Yang Ling smiled faintly and said, "It's definitely not a coincidence that Lin Xuan killed Senior Liu Ruzhen first.
Now that we're being chased by the foreign tribes, we won't have time to take care of him for the time being. So, Lin Xuan killed Senior Liu Ruzhen not to defend, but to attack.
If I'm not wrong, he's probably looking for us right now, ready to hit us when we're down.
Lin Xuan is a cautious person. Even if he has a Peerless Dao weapon, he won't want to fight us head-on. He'll only choose to ambush us. I'm afraid he killed Senior Liu Ruzhen to prevent us from detecting him in advance, so that we can take precautions. "
Qiu Wuju's eyes flashed and he nodded lightly. "Ling 'er, your analysis is very reasonable! Although Lin Xuan is cautious, he's definitely not someone who's afraid of trouble. He definitely has a reason to hit us when we're down! "
Ji Donglai frowned and said, "If that's the case, we still have to be careful."
Qiu Wuju sneered and said, "Hehe, why should we be careful of him? Since he might come to us, we should be more relaxed. Also, it's better for us to expose some clues so that he can find us faster! "
