"boom!"
"Bang!"
The attack erupted, and immediately a muffled thud was heard, and Lin Xiuyuan was sent flying.
It slammed heavily against the wall, creating a deep crater. Cracks spread across the wall like a spider web, kicking up a cloud of sand and dust, which slowly dissipated into the air.
As the hazy smoke dissipated, a dim white light flashed, revealing Lin Xiuyuan's figure.
"Cough cough..."
Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but cough, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with lingering fear and terror. Fortunately, the Xuanjia Talisman automatically activated to protect its master, and he was too cautious, always keeping several talismans attached to his body. Only in this way could he withstand it, otherwise he was afraid... Even so, the powerful backlash made him extremely uncomfortable, and his blood and qi surged within his body.
Lin Xiuyuan looked up, the fear in his eyes disappearing, replaced by a look of surprise and astonishment.
At this moment, Feng Hao's appearance has changed drastically!
It transformed into a face familiar to Lin Xiuyuan!
That aged yet unusually ruddy face—wasn't it the Bloodhand Illusion Demon?
"Huh, I didn't expect you to possess such a mysterious talisman, capable of protecting its owner on its own?"
Bloodhand Illusion Demon glanced at him in surprise, not expecting Lin Xiuyuan to have such a talisman, which thwarted his plans.
However, it doesn't matter; neither left nor right can affect the overall situation!
Could Lin Xiuyuan possibly escape his grasp on his own?
"It's you? What are you doing here?"
Lin Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.
To my utter surprise, that demonic cultivator was actually the Blood Hand Illusion Demon!
This scene truly surprised him greatly!
After all, the two fled Liang together, and more than ten years have passed. Why would the other party still linger here and attack the mine?
Although he knew that the demonic cultivator used illusion and disguise techniques, he immediately thought of Bloodhand Illusion Demon, with whom he had previously interacted and who was extremely skilled in this art, but he did not connect the two. Based on this, he believed that the other party should have left Dayue long ago and returned to the Northwest Demonic Path!
But to my surprise, he actually appeared in front of me, which was truly unexpected and astonishing!
"Haha, seeing your surprised expression makes me very happy. After enduring this for so many days, this scene is very satisfying!"
Bloodhand Illusion Demon laughed heartily, fearing that too many people from the Cloud Soaring Sect had come, or that some of their elders might be with them. Therefore, when the four arrived, he did not immediately choose to make a move, intending to wait and confirm the situation before taking action, so as not to be caught off guard. After all, the Cloud Soaring Sect was such a powerful force that he had to be cautious.
But seeing that only a few days had passed, and that their joint efforts to suppress the poison had almost woken up the cultivator surnamed Liu, he couldn't sit still any longer and took action directly.
Fortunately, it seems there really were only four people.
Now that the three of them have been poisoned by his Soul-Disrupting Powder, only Lin Xiuyuan remains, and he cannot escape his grasp. The overall situation is basically settled!
Bloodhand Illusion Demon felt a surge of excitement. As long as he refined the essence blood of these four people, he would be able to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment!
"Hehe, I never expected that after we parted ways, you would have entered such a grand sect as the Cloud Soaring Sect. It seems you have another opportunity. However, it's truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road; you can only consider yourself unlucky this time. Perfect, let's settle our old and new scores together!"
"That method of concealment back then was truly a trap!"
Bloodhand Illusion Demon sneered smugly, looking at Lin Xiuyuan with amusement, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction.
Before he fled Liang, he was already seriously injured. After arriving in Dayue, he found a remote place and began a long period of recuperation, which took several years to recover.
However, after recovering from his injuries, he did not plan to return to the Northwest and rejoin the Seven Blood Sect. After all, a great battle was taking place there, and if a Foundation Establishment cultivator went there, wouldn't he just become cannon fodder?
Moreover, after recovering from his injuries, he discovered that he had absorbed the life essence of many people during his escape, and the cultivator was now close to the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Bloodhand Illusion Demon has killed many cultivators along the way in the Great Yue, thus solidifying his cultivation at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Upon arriving in the vicinity of this place, he found it barren of spiritual energy and few cultivators. Moreover, due to his previous escape and the need to recover from his injuries, he had few spirit stones left. Discovering a mineral vein here was undoubtedly a win-win situation!
Thus, the Bloodhand Illusion Demon set its sights on this mine.
But he also understood that since he had set his sights on a power like the Cloud Soaring Sect, it would be difficult for him to stay in the Great Yue after this matter was over.
However, as long as his cultivation can successfully break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage and he also gains an extra sum of spirit stones, why would Bloodhand Illusion Demon stay in Dayue? Whether he goes to the North, takes a route to go overseas, or even returns to the Northwest, it's better than staying in Dayue!
Thus, Bloodhand Phantom Demon began to lay out his plans.
He was originally a cultivator from a sect, so he had some knowledge of how these forces operated.
It is perfectly clear that the severity of the situation will determine how many people or what level of experts the Nine Heavens Sect will send to handle it.
Therefore, he didn't kill the cultivator surnamed Liu at the beginning, and even avoided revealing too much and leaving too many traces. Instead, he directly used the Soul Disruption he brought from the treasure vault when the Blood Refining Sect was besieged, which made the cultivator surnamed Liu unconscious. Then he directly seized the spirit stones and killed Feng Hao.
Now, he disguised himself as Feng Hao and infiltrated the area to observe the situation.
As expected, Yunxiao Sect is a major sect after all, and it immediately sent four Foundation Establishment cultivators. If he were to face them head-on, he would be no match for them.
Fortunately, he controlled his murderous intent and did not massacre the mine; otherwise, more than just this many people would have come, or powerful experts might have been dispatched.
The rest was obvious. To confirm that there were only four people, Bloodhand Phantom Demon waited a few more days and refrained from making a move.
But seeing that the cultivator surnamed Liu was about to wake up, he couldn't help but take action. He tricked several people into coming and used the Soul Disruption Powder to easily control him.
Although the situation took a slight turn and they were forced to act ahead of schedule, it seems that apart from the four of them, there were indeed no other powerful individuals or anyone else who could provoke them.
Now only Lin Xiuyuan remains trapped, and the outcome is already decided!
Bloodhand Illusion Demon never expected to run into Lin Xiuyuan again after so many years. He thought that after parting ways at the border of Liang Kingdom, they would never cross paths again.
But unexpectedly, Lin Xiuyuan would enter such a large sect as the Cloud Soaring Sect and be sent out to handle this matter.
The world is truly full of wonders!
Perfect, I can settle all the old scores at the same time!
Bloodhand Illusion Demon sneered smugly, his eyes filled with sinister intent as he looked at Lin Xiuyuan.
