Hostile Intentions
Wang Xuan withdrew his gaze because the expressions of the people around him were truly unfriendly; some of them had recognized his identity.
This "alien" of his was a killing machine in the secret realm, taking down many experts and offending Heluo, Oula, and the Three Stars trial participants.
The process was extremely dangerous; he almost died. He and Old Chen were relentlessly pursued and forced to flee. With nowhere else to go, he even hid in a beehive of poisonous insects.
Therefore, he also had no good feelings towards these people, and if they did not know when to advance or retreat, he would not hesitate to start killing again.
The lake shimmered, the spirit trees were thick and strong, and the petals fell softly like snowflakes, yet also carried a delicate fragrance. The scenery within the barrier was truly beautiful.
Wang Xuan ignored these people and rode on the back of Horse Chao Fan, whose fur was as golden as silk, and traveled along the lake.
"It really is him, appearing in the secret realm once again. Let's find him. Seeing how fearless he is, dealing with him won't be easy; it should be quite troublesome."
Someone spoke from afar, originally intending to bring a group of superhumans to surround them, but ultimately restrained the impulse.
In the beginning, to protect himself, Wang Xuan went on a killing spree on a rainy night, slaughtering several extraordinary experts, including He Luo, Oula, and Yu Hua Three Stars. In the end, they broke the Rules and mobilized dozens of experts from their homeland overnight to cross the wormhole and besiege him. All of them were of higher cultivation levels than Wang Xuan, but the result was tragic, and they were still routed.
"This man is ruthless. Jiang Xuan, Mu Xue, Yuan Kun, Ou Yuxuan and other talented and outstanding people were all killed by him, their heads rolling and their bodies lying in the desolate forest. I wish I could kill him right now!"
A group of people watched Wang Xuan walk away and enter the city. No one made any rash moves. They used paper cranes to send messages and flying swords to deliver letters.
This time, some old guys came to the secret place in person. They didn't believe that this executioner could withstand the dazzling sword light of those great masters and would surely be beheaded.
"Let's go into the city and wait for the show to begin. We want to witness him being killed with our own eyes. I refuse to believe that he can still command the wind and rain today."
Some people gritted their teeth, hating this alien to the core. Back in the Earth Immortal City, after Wang Xuan returned in a bloodthirsty frenzy, he even looted the jade tokens of the survivors to exchange for the final reward, leaving them with hardly any soup.
Normally speaking, they should indeed have confidence. With an old fellow who is close to the Carefree Journey personally present, and a super genius in the Human World, a powerful figure at the ninth level, in charge, what is there to worry about?
Moreover, this is no longer a trial. With the wormhole open, there are no restrictions on strength. If any alien companions arrive, the three Supernatural Planet will immediately seek support from their headquarters.
The city is very old, the dwelling place of ancient mythical creatures. The bluestone paving has left mottled marks of time, and it has a history of at least two or three thousand years.
However, the city here is much better preserved than the Earth Immortal City; it has not collapsed or been destroyed.
The city is home to all kinds of species, all at the extraordinary level. There are elephants covered in scales, scorpion kings with snow-white bodies, and even descendants of the Peng bird circling around.
Here, Wang Xuan felt an even stronger hostility. People from the three Supernatural Planet had received the news, causing a slight commotion.
Wang Xuan remained unmoved, letting Horse Chao Fan lead the way so he could visit Old Fox directly, choosing to ignore the hostile and dissatisfied crowd.
"Master Fox is currently refining medicine. He has harvested the strongest medicinal herbs from the Immortal Lords' Cave Mansion and should have finished refining them by tomorrow at the latest," Horse Chao Fan reported.
Wang Xuan said, "Then let's go to his residence and wait there. At the same time, I want to see Qing Han and Wu Yin."
The city's layout is quite reasonable, with clear lakes and ethereal mountains that seem to emanate a mystical Spiritual Mountain, serving as both scenic spots and celestial dwellings. Wide streets and shops abound, suggesting it must have been a very prosperous city in the past.
The Black Fox's residence is the Immortal Lords' Cave Mansion, located in the heart of the ancient city. Here, fallen petals abound, and the thousands-year-old Bodhi tree is lush and green. As its leaves flutter, it's as if scriptures are turning pages.
As they walked along the bluestone street, looking at the mansion shrouded in white mist, Horse Chao Fan murmured a few words, and the two Silver Bear spirits guarding the gate let him through.
But at that moment, a commotion came from behind. Dark Light streaked across the sky, slashing at great speed from afar, like a black lightning bolt, accompanied by an astonishing thunderous sound.
Everyone in the area turned their heads and stared at the Dark Light.
Wang Xuan remained motionless on his horse, raising his hand to catch the Dark Light —a black curved blade as thin as a cicada's wing—that slashed across hundreds of meters.
It can easily kill superhumans and is a treasure. It is quite famous on Yuhua Star. In the last three hundred years, its owners have used it to kill more than five hundred Supernatural Practitioner. It is said that it will not return without bloodshed.
However, it landed quietly in Wang Xuan's hand. It had been buzzing and trembling, but now it had a dull, dark Dark Light, and then it snapped in two with a crack.
"What's this? A razor? It's a bit dull." He tested it on his chin and then casually tossed it on the ground.
The entire street fell silent. One of Yuhua Star's murder weapons had been casually broken in half by him.
In the distance, a woman coughed up a mouthful of blood. This was a treasure she had nurtured with her own blood essence and cultivation, which broke easily when someone grabbed it.
Filled with resentment, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "It was him who killed my sister Mu Xue, and he still dares to come here. Who can take him down?"
She sought help and had already sent messages to the elders of the clan.
"Even someone at the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm can't handle him, so don't make any rash moves!" Someone immediately transmitted a warning, raising Wang Xuan's danger level.
The creature that is now at level five was definitely at level nine or above, or even at the level of the Carefree Journey, before it was shaken down. In the end, it was no match for it at all.
"How did he cultivate? His initial realm was only at the second or third level of the Transcendent Realm. Even if he improved later, wouldn't his current state still be shaken down?" someone asked, puzzled.
A silver cloud rose from the mansion, carrying a strong medicinal fragrance. The sound of golden pills striking a furnace could be heard, and an extraordinary phenomenon appeared: a radiant glow illuminated the mansion.
"Master Fox, the alchemy was successful, and we've emerged from seclusion ahead of schedule." Horse Chao Fan was overjoyed, no longer needing to wait.
"These past two days I've had a sudden urge to sense that a distinguished guest has been lingering outside. I didn't expect it to be my young friend. Please come in. Ma Sun, why don't you bring your old friend in?" The old fox's voice came.
"Yes!" Horse Chao Fan responded immediately, showing great respect for the old fox.
At this point, Wang Xuan dismounted. Since Black Fox had shown goodwill, whether it was feigned or genuine, he had to keep a low profile.
Deep down, the only thing he was wary of was this old fox. He didn't know its true Roots, but it was definitely not simple.
This mansion is built against Spiritual Mountain, with beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, pavilions and towers, small bridges and flowing water, all connected together to create a breathtaking view.
"I apologize for my intrusion, senior." Wang Xuan transmitted his voice politely. Although he had not yet met the old fox, since others had already shown their respect, he would not be lacking in courtesy.
In the lotus pond, a large golden carp sways its tail, creating ripples. The sacred tree by the pond sways, covered with flower buds, filling the air with fragrance.
"It's truly unexpected. In just over half a year, your strength has improved by leaps and bounds, which is truly astonishing." The old fox chuckled and appeared on the grass ahead. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes and had not yet transformed into human form. He was still in his fox body and walked upright.
"Senior, you flatter me. My skills are still far inferior to yours." Regardless of his true feelings, Wang Xuan acted very humbly.
He came to pick up someone, and if he could avoid fighting, he would just talk. Unnecessary fighting was meaningless, and he didn't want to kill wherever he went.
Just like the New Star and the Old Earth, after a brief period of shock, the land is full of "friends" who abide by the new covenant.
"You're too modest. When I was your age, I couldn't compare to you in either realm or strength, yet I longed to compete with the strongest on an entire planet. With your level of cultivation and such rapid progress, even the most powerful patriarchs would pale in comparison in their youth. Seeing you makes me realize I'm truly old; time is merciless, especially slaying the old." The old fox sighed.
Wang Xuan responded with a smile. He was used to arguing with Old Zhang, eating with Fang Yuzhu, and going to space with the Demon Lord. No matter who Lao Hu was, he dealt with him calmly.
"Senior Black Fox, True Person Jiang Hai from Yuhua Star has come to pay a visit."
"Reporting to Lord Fox, Sect Master Yuan Linfeng of Heluo Star has come to visit."
Almost simultaneously, a steady stream of visitors arrived at the door, all seeking an audience with Black Fox.
Wang Xuan knew that these people were either after the pills in the medicine furnace or after him. He immediately spoke to the old fox, saying, "Senior, I am a straightforward person. I am back at this secret place to bring Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin home!"
He didn't want to delay and wanted to see the two women as soon as possible so he could take them away. Although he wasn't afraid of the people from the three Supernatural Planet, he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
"Please come in!" Black Fox said, signaling for the people to enter.
Then, it turned to Wang Xuan and said, "There's been some misunderstanding. Let Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin come back; they're practicing flying swords on Wudao Cliff."
The mansion suddenly became lively, with many guests arriving. The old fox welcomed all of them without exception. By the lotus pond, many Jade Stone Table were set up, with fruits and fine wines to entertain everyone.
The number of visitors continued to increase, and many people set their sights on Wang Xuan after entering, but he remained indifferent and ignored them.
"Wang Xuan, that villain, is here? Really? He's got some guts. I thought he'd never set foot in the secret realm again after he went back."
In the distance, a glowing bamboo boat flew by, carrying a Little Fox and two bright-eyed women.
Upon hearing the news, the Little Fox Immortal returned with Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin. The two women on the boat were dressed in ancient costumes, their skirts fluttering in the wind. Although they were modern women, their attire made them look like classical beauties, surrounded by an ethereal and Clear and Transcendent.
Although they were still far away in the sky, Wang Xuan had already stood up and saw the two of them from a distance.
"Wang Xuan!" Two beautiful women stood at the bow of the boat, waving their slender hands.
"Wang Xuan!" At the same time, someone in the mansion shouted in a low voice.
At this moment, someone in the distance drew their bow without hesitation and fired nine arrows in quick succession, faster than flying swords, amidst a hissing sound. The arrows pierced the sky and, accompanied by a thunderous roar, drew nine terrifying beams of light, flying towards Wang Xuan's forehead, heart, and other vital points.
"Be careful!" At this critical moment, the people on the bamboo boat were naturally the ones who truly cared about Wang Xuan, while the people from the other three Supernatural Planet watched indifferently.
Old Fox's eyes widened immediately, feeling that this had gone too far. He was about to make a move when Wang Xuan beat him to it. He reached out with his right hand and caught all nine Arrow Feather amidst the thunderous roar and blinding lightning, then tossed them back.
Puff puff puff!
Blood splattered everywhere. In the secret realm, a seventh-level expert, who could be considered a super master, was pierced by nine Arrow Feather, and then the man exploded!
