The misty, cloud-shrouded Cloudmist Marsh are a relatively sparsely populated area in the Demon Battlefield.
Compared to other places, demons rarely appear in the Cloudmist Marsh.
Even so, Lin Xuan encountered three demons along the way.
They were all demons with only one mark, and their strength and cultivation level were not high. They quickly perished under his sword.
After slaying yet another demon with one stripe, Lin Xuan had just put the demon's corpse into his Storage Bag when he heard footsteps.
He sheathed his sword and looked over, and saw a man and a woman walking towards him one after the other. The two moved very fast and soon appeared in front of Lin Xuan.
When the two saw Lin Xuan, they didn't think much of it. After all, there were quite a few Human Race cultivators in the Cloudmist Marsh. However, the man among them was suddenly stunned when he saw the emblem on Lin Xuan's chest.
Is this one of his students from the Primordial Holy Heaven?
Then, his gaze slid down and when he saw a jade pendant at Lin Xuan's waist, his pupils contracted.
That is...
"Who are you..."
If he wasn't mistaken, those were clearly jade pendants that only his master's disciples possessed. Each one was personally carved by Sacred Master Yunzhao, and in this world, apart from his fellow disciples, there was absolutely no one else who could own them.
At that moment, Lin Xuan noticed the jade pendant at the man's waist. He nodded slightly, acknowledging his identity.
"I am Lin Xuan, a newly accepted disciple of our master. You should be my senior brother Situ Rong?"
Situ Rong's expression was not good.
It's not that I have a problem with Lin Xuan.
However, he remembered that he shouldn't have misremembered the enrollment period of the Primordial Holy Heaven. How long had it been since the enrollment for this year's cohort?
This junior brother of mine is clearly just a freshman!
How could a freshman come to such a dangerous Demon Battlefield!
In particular, this is the extremely dangerous Cloudmist Marsh. While there aren't many demons within the Cloudmist Marsh, the dangers of the Demon Battlefield don't all come from demons.
Moreover, among the demons in the Cloudmist Marsh, those with one or two stripes are few, those with three or four stripes are many, and there are also demons with more than four stripes.
This place is quite far from Demon-Suppressing City.
In particular, Divine Sense is unusable here, which is equivalent to severing a cultivator's eye and arm. Even for senior students, entering here is extremely dangerous. For a freshman here, what difference is there between it and courting death!
Situ Rong, her Situ Rong tense and brows furrowed, scolded, "This is outrageous! Where is the teacher? How could she let you come here alone!"
Hearing his senior brother's reprimand, Lin Xuan was not angry.
Although Situ Rong was full of reprimands, he could tell from the other person's words that there was only worry and concern for him. Even if the tone was bad, it was not directed at him. Even the reprimands were just because he was afraid that something might happen to him here.
Therefore, Lin Xuan explained, "Our teacher is in seclusion."
No wonder.
Situ Rong sighed helplessly.
He said that if the teacher were still here, how could he let a freshman like Lin Xuan act so recklessly?
But then again, since Lin Xuan has already come all this way, he can't just send him back, can he?
"Alright," Situ Rong shook her head and instructed, "This place is very dangerous. Stay with me for now, so you can look after me. Once we get out, return to Demon-Suppressing City immediately, and then return to Primordial Holy Heaven. This is not a place for you."
His voice was deep, and in a short time he arranged Lin Xuan's next steps. Before Lin Xuan could say anything, the woman beside him suddenly frowned, quite dissatisfied.
"Situ, are you really planning to take this burden with you?" she asked without hesitation, completely disregarding the fact that Lin Xuan was still there, referring to him as a burden.
After all, the Cloudmist Marsh was extremely dangerous. Even these two cultivators at the Heavenly Venerable Realm couldn't guarantee their safety while traveling there. Now, they had to bring along a burden like this. Who would want that?
The woman grew increasingly dissatisfied, giving Lin Xuan a cold glance before speaking rudely, "You know better than I how dangerous the Cloudmist Marsh is. Are you bringing him along because you want us to die even faster?"
I disagree!
"He's my junior brother! Not a burden!" Situ Rong said angrily, her face grim.
If it were anyone else, he could naturally ignore it; after all, he wasn't a saint. But the person before him was his junior brother, a fellow student under the same teacher, and it was only natural for them to watch out for and help each other. How could he possibly stand idly by?
If Lin Xuan were allowed to venture into the Cloudmist Marsh alone, he would undoubtedly face certain death.
How could he just stand by and watch his junior brother die?
The woman simply snorted coldly.
"I don't care, even if he's your senior brother, it's still not acceptable. If you bring him along, then we're parting ways! You want to die? I'm not going to go with you!"
The two were locked in a stalemate.
Just as Lin Xuan was about to speak, a strong fluctuation suddenly came from not far away, instantly startling the three people present.
"This aura... could it be the birth of a treasure!?"
Situ Rong and the woman exchanged a glance, instantly abandoning their previous awkwardness, their eyes sparkling with surprise.
Only Lin Xuan frowned slightly.
"This is... the aura of Xuan Bing?"
They've only been separated for a short time, and Xuan Bing is already fighting with someone?
The three of them rose from the ground almost simultaneously and quickly flew towards the location from which the Spiritual Power fluctuations originated.
The Cloudmist Marsh got its name not only from the thick fog that covered the land, resembling clouds in the sky, but also from the fact that there were 100,000 large marshes here.
The land is covered with water and marshes.
The area is inhabited mostly by aquatic Demon Beast and demons, and the spirit medicine that grow here are mostly aquatic.
Meanwhile, above a body of water, a petite girl with a tense and fierce expression transformed her palm into a fist and unleashed a powerful punch, fiercely repelling a cultivator who was charging towards her.
Her face was completely silvery-white, and she was surrounded by three cultivators who launched a fierce and relentless attack.
Under this onslaught, Xuan Bing glared fiercely at the other two cultivators before immediately disappearing underwater.
"Don't let her get away!"
The three cultivators roared and waved away the water mist, preparing to rush underwater to capture Xuan Bing.
And their cultivation levels were all at the Thearch Realm!
The group stared at the still rippling water, their eyes filled with greed, for they had already identified Xuan Bing's race by Xuan Bing aura.
The Holy Spirit... this is the Holy Spirit!
They actually encountered a living, juvenile Holy Spirit in the midst of the Demon Battlefield!
If we could catch it, it would be worth an astronomical sum!
Furthermore, if one could acquire it as a spirit pet, it would be even more desirable and cause immense joy.
They had absolutely no concern about whether they would succeed.
Although Xuan Bing is a more terrifying Immortal Spirit than Holy Spirit, and her cultivation will reach the Saint Realm after she comes of age, she is currently just a young girl with a cultivation level of only the Thearch Realm First Layer.
Those three Human Race cultivators were all at the Thearch Realm, with one of them even reaching the Thearch Realm Third Layer. None of them were weaker than Xuan Bing.
However, even when surrounded by these three, Xuan Bing did not fall into a disadvantageous position.
Its formidable strength is evident.
