Bingzhou, wilderness.

Xiao Lingyue is not stupid. Lin Die went to find reinforcements, and Lin Ying was holding her back. She couldn't even catch a hostage. If she didn't run now, when would she run?

Xiao Lingyue didn't give up on Xiao Sha Diao. She now needed a foot as a capital for escape, and she needed a helper who could gain a foothold in the wilderness. Xiao Sha Diao was the most suitable one she had seen so far.

So Xiao Lingyue returned to the valley, put the trapped Xiao Sha Diao into the spirit beast bag, and then attached seven or eight spirit talismans to the spirit beast bag, soared into the sky and started to run. Xiao Lingyue

didn't forget to run to the gathering place of the human race, but continued to run deep into the wilderness. She was a god-transforming cultivator, and it didn't matter if she went deeper into the wilderness, she could still survive.

But Lin Ying didn't dare to chase her. After passing the territory of the Luan Bird King and continuing to go deep into the wilderness, she would enter the territory of the fifth-level monster beast, which was at the level of god-transforming. She was not yet an opponent, so she could only watch Xiao Lingyue escape.

"My connection with the little idiot is weakening, and we are almost disconnected."

Lin Jiang ran back and said to Lin Ying. He didn't know what tricks that person used, but he was about to lose contact with the little idiot.

"There are many secrets in the world of cultivation, and no one can know all of them. There are also many ways to conceal auras, and there are also secrets that can deprive others of their beast pets."

"Ah, I haven't heard of them."

"I have only heard of them, but never seen them. Maybe my father knows them."

Lin Ying shook her head. There are too many strange secrets in the world of cultivation. It is normal not to know them. No one dares to guarantee that they know all the secrets.

The two waited for a long time, and finally Lin Batian and Lin Die came. Lin Batian was also very angry when he saw his family being bullied, especially the fourth-level beast pet, which is a very important treasure.

"Old Ten, where is the person?"

"He went deep into the wilderness, and I didn't dare to chase him."

"Do you know where he came from?"

"We didn't fight him formally, so I don't know his specific identity, but I can be sure that he is a female cultivator."

"There are not many female cultivators in the whole world of immortal cultivation

," said Lin Batian. There are half male and half female cultivators at the low level, but the higher the realm, the fewer women there are. When it comes to the level of immortal cultivation, there are even fewer. There are only a handful of them in the whole world of immortal cultivation. There is only one person like Xu Mingyue who has achieved the Dao.

"I'll go check for clues."

Lin Jiang entered the valley beside him. This is where the black-robed man stayed before.

The valley was ordinary, with a cave here. Lin Jiang walked into the cave and indeed smelled a flower fragrance, the smell of the powder used by women.

"This smell is so familiar, but

I can't remember it for a while." Lin Jiang rubbed his head. He was quite familiar with this smell, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it for a while.

"Is it this smell?"

Lin Ying walked in and handed a jade bottle to Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang smelled it and nodded suddenly.

"That's the smell."

"This is the fragrance of Zhongzhou Magnolia Pavilion, called Chunya, which is very popular in Zhongzhou. Many female cultivators use it. The price is not low, this bottle costs 30,000 spirit stones."

"I remember it."

After hearing what Lin Die said, Lin Jiang remembered that he had smelled this fragrance in Qinghuan Tower. The fairies inside liked the things of Magnolia Pavilion very much. It was indeed very popular in Zhongzhou.

"What did you remember? Tell me quickly."

"Uh, it has nothing to do with this."

Lin Jiang was embarrassed. He couldn't say that he remembered where he had smelled this fragrance.

"You..."

"Boy, look around to see if there are any secret codes or something like that."

"Master, I suspect it's someone."

"Who?"

"Xiao Lingyue from Lingyue Sect."

"Is it her? Why is she here? Are you sure?"

"I can't be 100% sure, but I saw the Lingyue Sect's Huashen leading a team to enter the Wilderness Stronghold before, and this Xiao Lingyue once wanted to pay for the little sand sculpture, but I refused. She is very suspicious."

"Indeed, she is suspicious. Can you still sense the beast pet now?"

"I couldn't sense it half an hour ago."

"Then let's go, take me to find the people from Lingyue Sect."

Lin Batian nodded. If it was the people from Lingyue Sect, they could join forces. They should be able to track her with secret methods based on the soul lamp.

······

The people from Lingyue Sect have been searching for Xiao Lingyue's whereabouts in the Wilderness in recent days, but there are still people staying in the Wilderness Stronghold. Lin Batian went forward to talk as a casual cultivator and was soon taken seriously.

Half a day later, the Lingyue Sect's incarnation came back from the depths of the wilderness, and Lin Batian stepped forward to talk to him.

"Friend Lin is right. We have indeed located Xiao Lingyue in the wilderness based on the secret method. However, Xiao Lingyue is quite capable. She can conceal her own aura, and our secret method cannot locate her existence at any time."

"I don't know what secret method your sect used to pursue her. Did you use the Soul-Chasing Method?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I have not been able to practice this method,"

said the Spirit Transformation of the Lingyue Sect. The Lingyue Sect is also a big sect in the world of immortal cultivation. There are many secret methods, but not everyone can practice them. It's not that they don't allow people to practice them, but everyone has different talents. Some secret methods are difficult, and some are easy. She did not learn the Soul-Chasing Secret Method that Lin Batian said.

"I have learned this method, I wonder if your sect is willing to let me try it"

"This..."

"Daoyou, please consider this. Xiao Lingyue captured a fourth-level Aurora Falcon. Once it is subdued, it will be difficult to catch it again in the future. The Aurora Falcon is extremely fast, no less than the speed of a Divine Transformation"

"In this case, then I will trouble you."

The Divine Transformation of Lingyue Sect made up his mind. If it was really as Lin Batian said, once the Aurora Falcon was subdued by Xiao Lingyue, it would be difficult for her to catch him. Even if she found him, he would easily escape. Lingyue

Sect was determined to capture Xiao Lingyue, because her escape from marriage brought inestimable losses to Lingyue Sect. Not to mention the direct loss of spirit stones, even the face of Lingyue Sect was lost. If she was not severely punished, Lingyue Sect would not be able to give an explanation to ordinary disciples in the future.

Lin Batian took over Xiao Lingyue's soul lamp and immediately began to cast a spell. He took out a piece of talisman paper, folded it into a paper bird, put the wick on the soul lamp on the bird's beak, and cast a lot of spells in succession. Finally, the paper bird flew up tremblingly.

"Follow the paper bird and you will find Xiao Lingyue"

"You all stay here, we can go"

"Lin Die, you are the same, there is no point in following"

Lin Batian also said to Lin Die and others, Xiao Lingyue is a spirit transformation cultivation, it is useless to go to the Nascent Soul.

"Master, can I go with you, little sand sculpture over there..."

"You go to seek death, I will bring you the beast pet, I will wait here"

Lin Batian shook his head, and then flew away from the stronghold with the Spiritual Moon Sect's spirit transformation.

The two went deep into the wilderness, and both of them released their momentum, and all the way to intimidate the wild monsters not to block the way.

Until they went deeper, the paper bird stopped moving forward and circled around a hilltop. Lin Batian knew that he had found it, so he put away the paper bird and returned it to the Spiritual Moon Sect's God.

The two used their spiritual sense to search inch by inch, and soon, Xiao Lingyue appeared. She had seen them when they arrived, and she couldn't hide or even run away. After all, she couldn't be found even after running so deep into the wilderness, and she had no other choice.

"Evil disciple, it's really you"

"Tsk tsk, how come the old master has time to wander around in the wilderness?"

"Clear up the house, tell me, why did you betray Lingyue Sect and why did you run away from marriage"

"Master, don't you know why I ran away from marriage? Didn't you sell your disciple with your own hands?"

"Nonsense, you are the one who benefits the most from your marriage with Shenmu Sect. If the sect hadn't found Duanmu Ling from Shenmu Sect as your husband, how could you get the five-layer divine fruit and advance to the god transformation level?"

"Haha, you still think I'm a three-year-old child. Although the five-layer divine fruit is precious, it's not as much as the business you make with Shenmu Sect. That's the income every year and every month."

Xiao Lingyue sneered. The marriage between Lingyue Sect and Shenmu Sect is not just the benefit of the bride price, but more importantly, the trade between the two sides, and the largest proportion of it is the master in front of her.

The Duanmu family has a very high status in Shenmu Sect. If the marriage is successful, then the trade will be profitable every year and every month, and it will be long-term, which is not comparable to the one-time five-layer divine fruit.

"You don't suffer any loss from the marriage between the two families."

"Haha, do you really want me to reveal the last bit of your past?"

"It seems that you are determined to betray the sect." "If the sect is

unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

"Then don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between master and disciple."

Lingyue Sect's God of Transformation was furious. Seeing that it was irreversible, he had to take action.

"Wait a minute, listen to me first. Lin has no intention of interfering in the affairs of your Lingyue Sect, but can Brother Xiao return my Lin family's pet first?"

Lin Batian said hurriedly. He didn't want to eat melons. He just wanted to get the pet back and then return to Shenmu Sect to practice in seclusion. Don't treat him as air. If you really make him angry, both of you are not strong enough to fight.
