Lin Xuan moved with extreme speed. In less than half an hour, the seawater split apart, and a blinding Startling Rainbow shot out. Then spiritual light flashed wildly, a sharp, ear-piercing whistle tore through the air, and that Startling Rainbow vanished into the distant horizon.
This trip had been for the purpose of finding Venerable Black Wind's treasure. Though there had been a few accidents and twists along the way, the final result was that his gains were even greater than he had originally expected.
However, the stone coffin at the center of that formation had been completely empty. Where had its owner—the fellow who had arranged the array—gone?
Lin Xuan did not know, but even by guessing, he could tell this was an extremely troublesome character.
He had chopped the array the other party had laid down into a complete mess, and had also looted every material and treasure used to set it up. When the other party returned, it would be strange if he were willing to let the matter drop.
Although with his current strength, Lin Xuan might not necessarily fear him, cultivators did not rise early without profit. With no benefit to be had, he would not risk his life against the other party.
Making himself scarce was the best choice.
Thus Lin Xuan pushed his escape speed to the limit, changed direction several times along the way, and only after making a huge detour did he fly in the direction of Nine Immortals City.
Of course, by this point, the speed of his escape light had already slowed. He figured that as long as no unlucky mishap occurred, the other party should not be able to catch up to him.
Yet Lin Xuan did not know that this time, he had been far too confident.
