After killing the last Flying Rainbow Sect disciple.
In an instant, a strange meaning appeared in both of their eyes, as if there was a cold glint in them.
The atmosphere gradually became subtle, with a hint of tension and oppression.
After hanging the two Qiankun bags on his waist, Lin Xiuyuan took out a stack of spirit talismans and said meaningfully, "I wonder how long your secret technique can last? Although we have killed these two Flying Rainbow Sect disciples, there are still many pursuers behind us, and I wonder if that green-faced Taoist has sensed the commotion here."
Then, Lin Xiuyuan's expression turned somewhat sinister, and he said indifferently, "Now, it's not a good time to stay here any longer. Isn't it time to fulfill your promise? Or is it that you don't want to hand over that secret technique and want to see if I can take it myself?"
Hearing these words, Ma He remained silent for a moment, his expression calm but with a hint of bewilderment as he silently looked at Lin Xiuyuan.
He seemed to be somewhat inclined to take action.
But in the end, the coldness on Ma He's face melted away, and he grinned, saying, "Of course not. We cultivators should uphold the virtue of keeping our promises to demonstrate the demeanor of cultivators. On the path to immortality, one cultivates both the body and the mind. Frequent breaches of contract can invite inner demons. After all, in bartering, no one loses out."
"Since you want this spoils of war, then take them. After all, it was you who helped me resolve this crisis, so it is only right."
After some deliberation, Ma He ultimately decided not to take any action.
He already thought Lin Xiuyuan was not simple, and felt that he would be difficult to defeat in one fell swoop. He wondered how many talismans he had or what other tricks he might have up his sleeve.
Moreover, just as Lin Xiuyuan had guessed, he had been chased by several groups of people along the way. In particular, when he was chased by the Green-Faced Taoist, he was repeatedly seriously injured. The chase lasted for so long that it was impossible for him to maintain his peak condition.
At this moment, his aura was so strong because of the secret technique, but it wouldn't last long. He wasn't confident that he could defeat Lin Xiuyuan in a short time, so after some consideration, Ma He gave up the idea!
Ma He smiled, showing no sign of his earlier intention to attack, and continued, "Let me add something first. I will immediately inscribe a jade slip for you, fellow Daoist. You can also prepare your concealment technique."
Then, Ma He reached out and touched the corpse that had fallen below, not even sparing the charred remains.
Guided by divine will, it slowly rose into the air and came to the front of the Ma River.
Then Ma He reached out and plunged his hand into the chests of the two corpses.
Instantly, the blood from the two corpses flowed like a river, spreading towards his arm and covering his upper body.
Gradually, the streaks of blood mysteriously seeped into his body...
Lin Xiuyuan watched this scene silently, and felt a slight sense of relief when he saw that Ma He had given up his plan to take action.
Ma He felt that he might not be able to take him down in a short time, and Lin Xiuyuan thought the same way.
After all, the difference in cultivation level was a whole tier, making it difficult to shake, and it was unclear how long the Blood Hand Illusion Demon's powerful state could last. Moreover, this old demon's methods were unpredictable, and Lin Xiuyuan had no confidence in his abilities; otherwise, he would have already made his move and wouldn't have been forced to cooperate and assist him!
After a moment, Ma He "replenished and recovered" himself, casually tossing the two desiccated corpses below, casting a fireball spell to slightly conceal the traces of the battle, and then taking out a jade slip to inscribe something.
The whole process was short. The inscription was completed with divine sense, and in just a few breaths, Ma He tossed the jade slip in his hand to Lin Xiuyuan.
Lin Xiuyuan had also inscribed the "Good" Void Concealment Secret Technique early on, and upon seeing this, he also threw out a jade slip.
Both parties took it and examined it intently.
Lin Xiuyuan took a look, and even with his knowledge of escape techniques, it was difficult for him to tell whether there had been any tampering.
However, what he was certain of was that the other party wouldn't discover that he had tampered with the items...
After all, he had comprehended the essence of several spiritual talismans, all of which were part of the Great Dao. He had his own understanding of Daoist techniques and could easily incorporate some elements into secret methods.
Lin Xiuyuan observed the other party's expression, which was somewhat uncertain. After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but smile inwardly before speaking:
"Well, if there are no problems, shall we part ways here? This place is not safe to stay any longer!"
Ma He regained his composure, though he still harbored some doubts. Knowing that it was difficult to verify, he simply put away the jade slip and nodded, saying, "Alright, then let's all flee for our lives. Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Farewell!"
Lin Xiuyuan sneered and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "No need, let's just say goodbye forever!"
Without hesitation, Lin Xiuyuan turned and left, quickly flying forward on his sword to find a place to use the Void Concealment Technique.
This place has been the site of a battle, making it easy for that blue-faced Taoist priest to track them down.
For a moment, Lin Xiuyuan did not dare to continue riding his sword in a swagger.
Ma He glanced at Lin Xiuyuan's retreating figure, gave a cold smile, and then transformed into a streak of black light, quickly disappearing into the distance!
