Just then, an angry roar came from afar.
Lin Xuan activated his Divine Eyes and looked into the distance. Three somewhat bedraggled figures were racing toward him.
Behind them, a pitch-black fog followed close behind. Within it, a bloated old woman darted through the air like lightning.
The old woman was gaunt and withered, a bloodthirsty smile on her face. The teeth she exposed were a ghastly dark green, utterly chilling.
Those secretly watching Lin Xuan naturally saw this scene as well, and their eyes widened.
"It's the Transcendent Heavenly King Poison Granny. She's hunting poison cultivators again."
"Quick, stay far away. That mad hag is no good person."
"Run!"
At that moment, Lin Xuan clearly sensed that the people in the shadows had stopped watching him and were instead fleeing.
Obviously, they had all been frightened by Poison Granny.
"I didn't expect my luck to be this good. I encountered this so-called Transcendent Heavenly King the moment I arrived."
"A Rogue Cultivator from the Central Region... I wonder how she differs from those heavenly geniuses."
Lin Xuan had no intention of fleeing. Instead, he watched with great interest.
At this moment, Poison Granny's somewhat hoarse voice drifted over.
"Heh heh heh, you three happen to possess something this old woman wants."
"It isn't that I want to kill you. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for possessing treasures you aren't worthy of."
The hoarse voice, paired with that sinister laughter, was especially terrifying at this moment.
Among ordinary people, this old woman's voice alone would probably have been enough to stop a baby crying in the middle of the night.
"We'll give you whatever you want. Why must you press us so relentlessly?"
The three continued fleeing, but they had clearly been pursued for a long time.
