Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Linghu Xian changed in an instant before their eyes.

Linghu Xian, standing amid the clouds, began to seep white vapor beneath the swaying tentacles outside Old Lord Valley—the so-called immortal aura. Li Xiang had seen a half-immortal before. The Zhao Family ancestor had transformed into a massive heart, and Zhiheng of his family, having inherited the Divine Heart of Heavenly Arts, could also take on the form of a heart.

But the Linghu Xian before him was different. As the white vapor spread, Linghu Xian's body began to turn flawlessly white as jade, and...

It became illusory!

"Ha ha ha!"

Linghu Xian was laughing viciously. Li Xiang's expression darkened. Linghu Xian's aura... was vanishing even as it steadily climbed!

"You destroyed my Old Lord Valley!"

At Linghu Xian's wild laughter, confusion flickered across the faces of Old Lord Valley's disciples.

Beneath that pressure that instinctively filled their bodies with terror, Linghu Xian's body grew ever more illusory. He looked down on everyone as though they were ants, before finally fixing his gaze on Li Xiang. "You wanted me to join you in dealing with the Watchdog? How laughable. No one can order me around!"

Feeling Linghu Xian's current pressure, the Fox Saint beside Li Xiang looked grave. "He never cared about the disciples of Old Lord Valley. His only goal was to use them to raise his standing beneath the Blood Moon. Rather than work with you to deal with the Watchdog, he would rather fight the Watchdog for food."

The Fox Saint did not lower his voice in the slightest.

The Old Lord Valley disciples were all horrified. Just moments ago, they had been fighting the Li Family to the death. Now, their patriarch was going to... eat them!

"He's a complete and utter madman..."
