Two hours later.
Huo Yun revealed her true form and moved quickly back towards the camp.
Standing on the snake's back, the group looked at Lin Xiuyuan's back as he sat in meditation on the snake's head, their expressions filled with excitement.
"I thought this was going to be a risky move, but I never expected it to go so smoothly..."
"Senior Brother Lin and the protector killed nine Purple Talisman cultivators and hundreds of rogue cultivators. Our dozen or so men intercepted them from the outside and also killed two or three hundred cultivators!"
"In just a few hours, they have wiped out three teams and thousands of cultivators... What a terrifying record."
Apart from the three fellow disciples who were unfortunately attacked by a large number of rogue cultivators during the interception and whose magic power was somewhat depleted, ultimately dying tragically, the rest of them were unharmed, at most suffering from excessive exhaustion.
In total, there were only twenty or thirty people, yet they fought three consecutive battles and slaughtered over a thousand cultivators!
This dazzling achievement will undoubtedly become a legendary tale in the future, and they, as part of it, feel incredibly proud. Mixed in with this is also considerable shock, astonishment at Lin Xiuyuan's terrifying combat power—he's practically a superhuman prodigy!
If it weren't for Lin Xiuyuan and the fire python he rode, they wouldn't have been able to create such amazing results.
Even now, they are still incredibly excited because of the abundance of their spoils.
Lin Xiuyuan was very generous. Apart from needing to replenish the resources of this treasure vault, since most of the spiritual items they carried were taken from the sect's treasure vault here, the spoils of war naturally had to be returned.
In addition, most of the Qiankun bags belonging to low-level rogue cultivators were distributed.
This resulted in everyone earning close to two million, with some lucky ones even exceeding that amount.
"Fortunately, the other two teams retreated after hearing the news, otherwise it would have been much more troublesome."
Lin Xiuyuan looked at the jade slip, which contained a message from Xu Zeda's scouts, informing him that the scattered cultivator teams in the other two directions had already retreated.
Five teams from the scattered cultivators' side attacked.
They wiped out three groups, leaving two remaining.
Because the previous three battles had taken a long time, the last two teams had already captured two resource sites and were about to head to the next one when they heard about the miserable state of the other three teams. They assumed that the Cloud Soaring Sect had some hidden force that had suddenly launched an attack, which made them fear that they would follow in the footsteps of the other three teams, so they retreated without stopping.
Otherwise, it would be much more troublesome.
When they were sniping the third team, their mana was less than 50%, making the battle quite difficult and even resulting in some deaths. Fortunately, they ultimately escaped unscathed.
However, the effect of the mystical talisman had been exhausted.
They no longer possess the combat power to directly confront a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator.
If the battle continues, the only option is to slowly wear them down with the help of the inherited ancient treasures, as they will have virtually no ability to kill them. In that case, continuing the battle will become much more dangerous.
Fortunately, the two teams were unaware of the specific details and only assumed that Yunxiao had hidden strength, so they retreated, allowing this sniper battle to come to a perfect end!
However, there were still some flaws. During the third battle, Huo Yun's magical power was somewhat depleted, and her efforts to eliminate those low-level rogue cultivators were not very successful, with many escaping. In addition, the disciples who were blocking them from the outside were also exhausted, and many spiritual items were also lost, resulting in many more escaping.
And the two heroes of Xixia who escaped...
However, after thinking about it, Lin Xiuyuan still felt that it wasn't a big problem. The short, fat old man who ran away probably wouldn't return to the Loose Cultivator Alliance, because after knowing his combat strength, returning to the Loose Cultivator Alliance would basically only mean waiting to die.
"Those rogue cultivators who escaped did not actually witness me kill the Purple Mansion cultivator, so they should not know my specific combat strength. Therefore, there is no need to worry about this."
After the battle, Lin Xiuyuan also instructed Xu Zeda and the other cultivators to keep their mouths shut and not to leak any information.
As for how long it can be maintained, it should be fine in the short term, and after the retreat period, there is no need to worry about being exposed.
Otherwise, when the outside world learns of Lin Xiuyuan's terrifying combat power, they will not be able to retreat safely and will inevitably be pushed into the open, getting caught up in the vortex too early.
After all, how could any faction allow such a terrifying combat power to lie low and grow unchecked?
What Lin Xiuyuan lacks now is time to cultivate and break through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, as well as time to create talismans.
The Cloud Spirit Talisman is sufficient.
However, due to the high difficulty in making and mastering the Xue family's secret talismans, a batch was only produced when the previous guarding period was almost over.
That's far from enough; more is needed. This is Lin Xiuyuan's reliance on reaching the invincible level within his realm. Only with a sufficient quantity as a foundation can he feel at ease and unleash his full potential!
Huo Yun's escape speed is extremely fast.
In less than 15 minutes.
They then returned to their camp.
When everyone learned that Lin Xiuyuan's 'reckless and impulsive actions' had actually yielded such an exaggerated result, they were all utterly shocked. They looked at Lin Xiuyuan as if he were a mythical creature, their faces filled with a complex mix of strangeness and astonishment.
Pang Hongbo exclaimed in amazement, "Steward Lin, as expected of someone who can be ranked alongside the top genius of the Five Elements Sect, you are truly an extraordinary prodigy!"
Zhong Kangshun, standing to the side, was so shocked that he was speechless.
It suddenly occurred to me that Lin Xiuyuan really could ascend to the heavens after breaking through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm?
...
Zhong Kangshun looked at Lin Xiuyuan with a strange expression.
He kept saying he would wait until he broke through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, which I thought was just a matter of saving his life.
