Seeing that Chen Xue was having some difficulty moving, Lin Xiuyuan frowned, but said nothing and simply reached out to pull her into his arms.
The soft warmth enveloped him, creating a tender and romantic atmosphere between them. Lin Xiuyuan felt a soft, close embrace, but the dangerous situation prevented him from fully appreciating it.
Chen Xue coughed lightly, not expecting Lin Xiuyuan to hug her so domineeringly, but she understood that the current situation was bad and there was nothing to mind.
However, a faint blush rose to her cheeks unnaturally, and she unconsciously reached out to gently brush a strand of hair behind her ear to ease the flush. After a moment, she said naturally, "I am injured and unable to make things convenient. I'm sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Lin."
Lin Xiuyuan didn't speak, but walked directly towards the passage outside the formation. A hint of killing intent appeared on his face as he said calmly, "All the trouble that followed was caused by Youminglan. You won't have a hard time dealing with Wei Xian in the future, will you?"
Chen Xue seemed to have guessed Lin Xiuyuan's thoughts. She immediately turned to look at his profile, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, after we leave the secret realm, apart from Chen Shaorong who's a bit difficult, I'll take care of the other two! Maybe I can even handle the Wei family!"
Lin Xiuyuan nodded. No matter how Chen Xue answered, his mind would not change. It was just a matter of whether he needed to be overly cautious about this matter to avoid being ambushed outside.
Chen Xue's words eased some of his worries.
After Lin Xiuyuan forcibly ordered Wei Maoxue to open a gap in the formation, he calmly stepped out of the formation and immediately activated his divine sense.
Behind him, a head rolled off, and a jet of blood gushed high into the air.
"ah!"
Immediately afterwards, a shrill roar rang out.
"Lin Xiuyuan, you've gone back on your word! Ahhh, I'll definitely kill you!"
The old man surnamed Wei roared in grief and anger, his face filled with sorrow, and his eyes instantly turned red.
As if he had gone mad, he used all his strength to attack the formation, his thoughts were insane, and he only wanted to cut Lin Xiuyuan into a thousand pieces.
Although there was no one in charge of the formation, the formation that Wei Mao learned was set up by the array flags. Otherwise, with his level of skill, he would not have been able to form such a powerful defensive effect and calmly stop so many purple scorpion demons, including the three-headed purple scorpion king.
Therefore, each array flag still contains a considerable amount of spiritual power, enough to maintain the array for a period of time.
This is the main reason why Lin Xiuyuan wanted to kill Wei Maoxue.
Secondly, since we've already made enemies, we naturally can't leave any future troubles!
At this moment.
In less than two or three minutes, the woman surnamed Liu, dressed in palace attire, had already shattered the power of the talismans with lightning speed, but she was still a step too late.
In an instant, the woman surnamed Liu, dressed in palace attire, turned ashen-faced. Not only was the Dragon Jade gone, but she feared that even the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill would be lost... It had almost extinguished the last glimmer of hope for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
The woman surnamed Liu, dressed in palace attire, felt a pang of regret. If she had foreseen this outcome, she would never have betrayed the party. But... there are no "what ifs" in life.
Seeing the two figures gradually disappear from sight, he, like the old man surnamed Wei, went berserk and attacked the array barrier, intending to destroy the array in a short time and catch up with the two to seize the Netherworld Orchid.
Chen Shaorong didn't bother arguing with the old man surnamed Wei. At this moment, all three of them were in similar moods, only wanting to catch up with Lin Xiuyuan and the other man and seize the Netherworld Orchid.
He immediately joined in, launching a fierce attack on the formation.
"Lin Xiuyuan!"
Chen Shaorong said through gritted teeth.
This plan was absolutely perfect, with no flaws whatsoever throughout the entire process.
But then this unexpected turn of events ruined his plans.
He dared not imagine how dire his situation would become once Chen Xue took Youminglan back to the family.
I fear that I will never have a chance to reach the Golden Core stage in this lifetime, and my path to immortality will be completely cut off!
This left his mind in a state of chaos, as if a constant roar was ringing out, and like the other two, he fell into a state of madness.
At this moment.
Lin Xiuyuan carried Chen Xue in one arm and quickly walked to the outside of the nest.
Sensing that the spiritual energy in all directions had leveled off and that he could now activate the teleportation talisman, he put Chen Xue down.
Lin Xiuyuan and Chen Xue exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of joy, and immediately took out their communication jade talismans.
However, the next moment, Lin Xiuyuan reached out and stopped Chen Xue from activating the teleportation jade talisman.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xue was taken aback. She immediately guessed what was going on and looked up at Lin Xiuyuan, saying, "It was all thanks to Fellow Daoist Lin that we were able to obtain the Netherworld Orchid. Don't worry, the reward will definitely not be just a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."
"Although I don't know where Chen Shaorong can get the Dragon Jade, and I can't produce it for the time being, I will use this merit to ask the ancestor to exchange it for a Dragon Jade from the sect when I return to my family. In addition, I will also go to the family treasury to obtain some rare and precious natural treasures to help you break through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining and maximize your chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
"So, Fellow Daoist Lin, are you satisfied?"
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "I want more than that!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xue frowned, feeling a sense of unease. However, since Lin Xiuyuan hadn't made a move yet, there was no need to worry too much.
Furthermore, even if Lin Xiuyuan took the Netherworld Orchid, it would be useless. He could leave the secret realm, but he couldn't leave the Hundred Python Mountain. Not to mention, if news of such a treasure were to leak out, it would bring him death; it wouldn't bring him any benefit at all!
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin has any other thoughts? Please feel free to speak them. There's no time to lose now, why don't we go outside and talk again?"
Chen Xue said.
Lin Xiuyuan smiled and said, "No rush. Wei Maoxue is quite capable. The defensive formation can hold out for a while. It won't make a difference if we wait a bit longer."
