In the vast mountains and forests, inside an inconspicuous cave.
With a thought, Lin Xuan conjured up a series of profound runes, which transformed into an array that sealed off the cave entrance.
Suddenly, the space at the cave entrance twisted and appeared to have vanished from its original spot in a bizarre manner.
This is a concealment formation. The cave has not truly disappeared, but rather the power of the formation has folded and hidden the space where the cave is located.
Inside the cave.
Lin Xuan looked at the young man who was leading the group of four and said in a deep voice, "Xu Hao, tell me all the information you've found, the more detailed the better..."
On the way here, Lin Xuan already knew the names of the four people.
The young man in the lead was named Xu Hao, and he was the captain of their squad.
Besides, the remaining three members of the team consisted of two men and one woman: Lu Damao, Su Yuliang, and Yu Xin.
All four were at the first stage of the Life and Death Realm, the Death Profound Realm.
However, Xu Hao was in the mid-stage of the Death Profound Realm, while the other three were in the early stage, having just entered the Death Profound Realm.
Moreover, Yu Xin and Su Yuliang broke through their limits after arriving in this demonic territory due to certain fortuitous circumstances.
That is precisely why they were able to survive being hunted down.
Hold on until Lin Xuan arrives.
Otherwise, their squad would have lost eight people, not six.
"Yes, sir!"
The young man, Xu Hao, quickly responded, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "They are building a city in the heart of the demonic territory."
A floating city.
Because it was still under construction, they captured many humans and enslaved them as laborers. That's why we were able to sneak in relatively easily.
In the central area of that floating city, there is a terrifying black hole vortex that connects to another world.
Every so often, evil spirits would emerge from within…
Xu Hao calmly recounted the information they had gathered, and Lin Xuan listened attentively.
Xu Hao finally stopped after about an incense stick's time.
At this moment, Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed into slits. Judging from what Xu Hao said, things were far more tense than he had expected.
That black hole vortex continues to expand.
With each significant expansion, the limits that the black hole vortex can withstand increase by a few points.
In the end, it will allow even more powerful demons and evil beings to pass through.
Even beings surpassing the five realms of Heaven and Man descended.
"This is indeed a big problem."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, "If that passage isn't destroyed, this trouble will only get bigger in the future. This area now corresponds to Hangu Pass, which is guarded by our Great Xia."
Once a powerful demon or evil being, surpassing even the fifth realm of Heaven and Man, descends.
They will inevitably attack Hangu Pass.
"When such a powerful figure attacks, my Primordial Star River Formation won't be able to withstand it..."
As he spoke, a chilling killing intent gradually surfaced in Lin Xuan's eyes.
Its sharpness is as evident as a blade.
That black hole vortex cannot be allowed to continue to exist, otherwise there will be endless trouble in the future.
"Do you know the exact location of that floating city?"
Lin Xuan asked Xu Hao.
"Know!"
Xu Hao nodded quickly and said, "We have already recorded the specific coordinates, just in case."
As he spoke, Xu Hao handed the identity token in his hand to Lin Xuan.
This identity tag has a function: it can record coordinates. When used in conjunction with the array plate that Lin Xuan gave to the team, they can be directly teleported to the location of the coordinates recorded on the identity tag through the array plate.
However, this is subject to limitations.
The maximum range cannot exceed ten million miles.
But this effect is already incredibly powerful; in some cases, it can save their lives.
With a thought, Lin Xuan read the coordinates recorded in Xu Hao's identity card, then returned the identity card to Xu Hao, saying, "I already know the coordinates. Next, I will send you back."
You made mistakes this time, but you also made contributions.
Those who commit wrongdoings should be punished, and those who perform meritorious service should be rewarded.
"After I return to Hangu Pass, I will naturally punish or reward you..."
Clear rewards and punishments, fairness and impartiality—only in this way can the Shanhe Army go further. From the very first day he took charge of Shanhe, Lin Xuan warned himself that he must never be biased or corrupt.
Neglecting public duty for private gain.
"Yes, sir..."
Xu Hao and the others naturally had no complaints, because Lin Xuan's handling of the matter was very fair and his rewards and punishments were clear, which made them very respectful.
Without further ado, Lin Xuan waved his hand to dispel the great formation, and then raised his hand, causing a burst of spiritual light to envelop his opponent.
However, just as he was about to send Xu Hao and the other three away...
Suddenly, a terrifying streak of light flashed at the edge of the sky.
A monstrous aura swept in like a torrent, tearing through the sky and instantly reaching the air a thousand feet away from the cave where Lin Xuan and the others were.
Instantly, the stream of light dissipated.
A large army of demons emerged, led by a powerful demon at the peak of the Sorrow level.
Behind him stood a line of thirty low-level demons.
Their auras were powerful, each comparable to a top-tier general of the Great Xia Dynasty, and some of them were even comparable to the Xuanbing Ancient General, their strength was extraordinary.
Following these thirty-one Shang-level demons were a thousand Sha-level demons, each comparable to a human martial artist at the Life and Death Realm.
This force was ten times larger than the demon race army that Lin Xuan had previously slaughtered in that valley.
"Lin Xuan...you are doomed today."
Just then, a shout rang out from the sky, like a thunderclap.
It was the leader of the Sorrow-level demon race.
A chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes as he stared directly at Lin Xuan, his entire body radiating a violent aura that seemed capable of overturning the heavens and earth.
