As the group of martial artists approached, Lin Xuan could see clearly that it was a patrol team of twelve divine guards.
The area within a few thousand miles around Flying Locust City was filled with members of the Divine Lotus Sect. But even if they belonged to the same sect, it was inevitable for them to engage in bloody fights over rare and precious herbs.
Ever since the Saint Lotus Path entered the Spiritual Land Realm, it was not uncommon for members of the same sect to kill each other. There were even some who thought they were strong enough to become bandits and guard outside the Flying Locust City. They would rob their fellow disciples who were on their way back from treasure hunting.
In order to prevent such incidents, the Divine Lotus Sect had dispatched a group of divine guards to patrol the main roads leading to Flying Locust City.
This method was very effective. In recent days, fratricide incidents had decreased significantly.
However, most of the divine guards would only patrol a radius of three hundred miles around Flying Locust City. Any further and it would be meaningless.
But at this moment, a patrol team of divine guards had appeared three thousand miles away from Flying Locust City. This was rather strange.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the twelve divine guards speedily approaching. The corners of his lips curled into a playful sneer.
Mu Qingxue also felt that something was amiss. She asked curiously, "Why would divine guards appear here?"
"Something is amiss. Perhaps these people are the real culprits." Lin Xuan said calmly.
Mu Qingxue was stunned for a moment. Her face gradually darkened as she tightened her grip on the longsword in her hand.
Among the twelve divine guards, two of them were early-stage Heavenly Transformation Realm experts while the other ten were Divine Astral Realm experts. At least that was how it seemed on the surface.
When they arrived near Lin Xuan and saw that it was Lin Xuan and Mu Qingxue, most of them displayed a trace of surprise and respect.
The leader of the group was a dark-skinned man with a calm expression. He cupped his fists at Lin Xuan and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader!"
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
The others also cupped their fists and bowed.
Lin Xuan nodded and asked casually, "He Xing, are you patrolling this area?"
He Xing said, "Sect Master, I was originally on duty near Flying Locust City. I came here because I was pursuing a thief who killed and stole. Unfortunately, that thief was cunning and I accidentally let him escape. Does the Lord have any orders? "
Lin Xuan smiled playfully and said, "You guys came at the right time. Just now, there were a few fellows who tried to assassinate this Lord. They have already escaped into this valley. Go and capture them all for me!"
He Xing was enraged and said furiously, "Someone actually dared to assassinate the Dao Master. This is outrageous! Don't worry, Daolord, I will definitely complete the mission! "
"Mm, go ahead!" Lin Xuan nodded.
However, He Xing did not move. His subordinates behind him did not move either.
He Xing said, "Sect Leader, on my way here, I chanced upon a thousand-year-old Spirit Herb. Unfortunately, my knowledge is shallow and I do not know the name of this Spirit Herb. If I may be so bold as to ask the Sect Leader to teach me a thing or two!"
As he spoke, he took out a jade box from his ring and slowly opened it.
At this moment, a strange aura spread out, causing one's heart to palpitate uneasily.
Lin Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank. Without any explanation, he pulled Mu Qingxue and quickly retreated.
Although he did not know what was in the box, his intuition told him that it was definitely not something good.
Just as he retreated, He Xing also sped up. He opened the box and in an instant, a ray of gray light spread out and enveloped Lin Xuan and Mu Qingxue.
The moment the gray light shone on their bodies, Lin Xuan and Mu Qingxue immediately felt their retreating speed slow down. It became slower and slower until it gradually stopped.
Not only did their speed slow down, but even their brain's thoughts slowed down.
A treasure that contained the Dao of Time!
Lin Xuan could not help but be very surprised, but he did not panic.
At this moment, He Xing and the eleven subordinates behind him no longer had the respectful look on their faces. Instead, they were all filled with murderous intent.
He Xing stood still and stared coldly at Lin Xuan. He controlled the gray light emitted from the box and shrunk it to a very small range. He only locked onto Lin Xuan and Mu Qingxue, locking them in place.
The others moved. Some withdrew their weapons, some transformed into Battle Souls. Each of them exploded with a terrifying aura and charged towards Lin Xuan without hesitation.
"Lin Xuan, die!"
"Kill!"
The eleven Divine Guards all released auras that were above the Heavenly Change Realm. They were like ancient beasts, their killing intent soaring to the sky.
The flesh of a middle-aged man at the back instantly shriveled up, revealing a set of bones that shone with golden light. His tyrannical aura rose steadily and gradually reached the middle level of the Transcendent Realm!
Anyone who frequented the tavern in Flying Locust City would definitely recognize that this middle-aged man was the owner of the tavern, Cripple Xie.
Cripple Xie's real name was Xie Yuankui. He was the protector of the imperial slave Phantom Hall.
He cultivated the Bone Demon Sutra, and his golden bones were impenetrable long ago. He had single-handedly planned the assassination of Lin Xuan.
"Anyone who dares to disobey Mister Ning should die! Lin Xuan, go to hell! "
Xie Yuankui's eyes flickered with two balls of ghostly fire as he stared fixedly at Lin Xuan. Two balls of golden flames gradually appeared on his bony claws, burning the void until it was distorted.
With a boom, Xie Yuankui flew up and grabbed at Lin Xuan's head with the two balls of strange flames.
At the same time, the rest of the people rushed to within fifty meters of Lin Xuan. Countless sharp swords and terrifying battle techniques greeted Lin Xuan and Mu Qingxue as if they were free. They almost drowned the two.
Mu Qingxue couldn't help but panic. Seeing the countless terrifying attacks about to hit her, she subconsciously wanted to fight back. However, she was shocked to find that she couldn't even move a finger. She couldn't help but panic and despair in her heart.
At this moment, Lin Xuan didn't panic at all.
He Xing's secret treasure of time was very powerful. It surprised him, but that was it.
Just as Xie Yuankui and the others attacked, the ground below suddenly exploded.
Boom!
Boom!
Two violent explosions rang out, sending countless rocks and trees flying into the sky, covering the sky and covering the sun.
Then, two figures with golden light broke out of the ground. Their ferocious and savage auras shot into the sky.
Without a doubt, these two figures were Gu Xinghun and Li Haoqing.
The two golden corpses carried an extremely terrifying corpse aura. They spread out in all directions, causing the plants on the ground to wither and die.
The Ancient Star Spirit appeared right behind He Xing. Its two sharp claws suddenly pierced towards He Xing, its speed as fast as lightning!
He Xing was holding the box when he felt the fatal danger behind him. He instinctively dodged three feet to the side.
However, he still couldn't dodge.
A sharp claw that looked like it was made of gold instantly pierced through his left shoulder, and then tore at him. Whoosh! It tore off his shoulder along with his arm.
"Ah —"
He Xing let out a shrill scream. He held the box with one hand and quickly retreated. The box in his hand closed again, and the beam of grey light disappeared …
At the same time, Li Haoqing emerged from the ground and rushed toward Xie Yuankui.
Before Xie Yuankui's bone claw could land on Lin Xuan, an iron fist containing billions of strands of divine power smashed over, colliding with his bone claw.
Boom!
There was a violent collision!
Xie Yuankui's expression changed. He felt an irresistible force rush toward him and send him flying like an arrow. He flew ten miles away in an instant.
Li Haoqing, on the other hand, only retreated a few hundred meters. As it retreated, it waved its claws that were more than thirty meters long and blocked all the attacks in the air. The seven Heaven Transformation Realm assassins were cut into dozens of pieces. The remaining three Heaven Transformation Realm elites were also forced to retreat. They couldn't cause any harm to Lin Xuan and Mu Qingxue.
At this time, the beam of grey light had disappeared. Lin Xuan and Mu Qingxue had also returned to normal.
Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent. She quickly joined the battle and rushed toward a Heaven Transformation Realm elite. Her speed was extremely fast, almost exceeding the limits of what the naked eye could see.
That Heaven Transformation Realm elite had just dodged Li Haoqing's claw, but before he could stabilize himself, he saw a silver light flash in front of his eyes. His head was separated from his body and blood splattered three feet high.
Mu Qingxue coldly snorted and unceremoniously chopped that person's head into pieces with her sword, destroying his soul. Then, she continued to lock onto the next enemy.
Lin Xuan held the Seven Deadly Spring Wind Sword in his hand and casually waved it out with an incomparably sharp sword qi. He easily cut a Heaven Transformation Realm elite that had transformed into a giant python War Soul into two pieces.
With a divine sword in hand, killing a Heaven Transformation Realm elite was like killing a chicken. Lin Xuan was very satisfied with the might of the Seven Deadly Spring Wind Sword.
However, he no longer had any opponents.
He Xing had already been blasted into pieces by Gu Xinghun, and the last Heaven Transformation Realm elite had also been killed by Mu Qingxue.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the 12 assassins were dead or injured. Only a Transcendent Realm golden skeleton was left.
Xie Yuankui wanted to continue assassinating Lin Xuan, but Gu Xinghun and Li Haoqing blocked him. He couldn't even step within a thousand meters of Lin Xuan. He could only glare at Lin Xuan with hatred, but he was too far away to do anything.
Lin Xuan didn't pay attention to the battle between the Transcendent Realm elites. He walked over to He Xing's dismembered body and picked up a jade box that had fallen to the ground.
"The Imperial Dao Slave is really rich. He actually used a divine rule material to assassinate me. Hehe, I really hope there will be more of such assassinations in the future."
Lin Xuan was overjoyed. He weighed the box in his hand and casually tossed it into his storage ring.
When He Xing had opened the box just now, Lin Xuan had taken a look at it. The box contained a gray stone about the size of an egg.
It could emit a gray light that could slow down time. This was obviously a divine material that contained time rules. Even though it was a little small, it was still a priceless treasure.
Unlike the Chaotic True Gold, this stone that contained time rules was placed in a special jade box. Not only could it be carried around, but it could also be used to defend against enemies. It was a good treasure for sneak attacks.
When he saw Lin Xuan put away the jade box, Xie Yuankui, who was fighting the two Golden Corpses in the distance, was so angry that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
In order to assassinate Lin Xuan, Xie Yuankui had been preparing for a long time. He was just waiting for Lin Xuan's original body to return.
