Lin Xuan's gaze swept over them. Three Nascent Soul, one Lihe—as far as Demon-Transformed went, their strength was not low. After all, Demon-Transformed raised their power by fusing with crystal cores, and the difficulty could be said to be even greater than a cultivator advancing in rank.
At the root of it, they were still mortals, merely using a shortcut to obtain strength that could contend with cultivators.
Yet cultivation was already a road that defied the heavens. For Demon-Transformed, it was even more rugged and treacherous. Being able to reach Lihe was already extremely remarkable.
Yuanwu City was a gathering place for Demon-Transformed. If this were any other place, it would be very difficult to see such high-level existences.
But so what?
Lihe was little different from an ant before Lin Xuan.
Seeing that the four of them actually blocked his way, Lin Xuan had no patience to waste words with them. With a flick of his sleeve, several dazzling streaks of sword light shot out.
"You... you're a Dongxuan-level cultivator?"
A horrified voice entered his ears. The moment Lin Xuan released the sword lights, he no longer concealed his strength. Terrifying spiritual pressure swept down like heaven covering earth, and everyone enveloped by it felt as if they were suffocating.
Though the Nailong Realm was one of the top-tier realms in the Spirit World, Dongxuan-level cultivators were still not something one could see everywhere. Those pitiable Demon-Transformed blocking his path had only just revealed looks of terror before their heads were taken off.
Afterward, Lin Xuan had already arrived before the auction table and seized the nine-headed, eighteen-armed statue in one hand.
Since he had obtained what he wanted, Lin Xuan no longer lingered here. Green light rose all over his body, and he flew toward the surface.
