With that, Lin Xiuyuan left Quanyang County with a mix of excitement and trepidation.
Once Huo Yun breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it will be a great help, and Lin Xiuyuan's combat power will increase by more than a little bit!
Ordinary spirit beasts are one thing, but even if they break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they still find it difficult to fight a Foundation Establishment expert alone. Only by reaching a higher realm will they become powerful enough to be difficult for a cultivator to fight alone.
But someone like Huo Yun, who possesses the bloodline of an ancient great demon, is naturally different! Once she breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, she can face cultivators alone. Her demonic body is comparable to a magical artifact, not to mention her innate talent for manipulating such powerful demonic fire. Ordinary spells pale in comparison; only inherited true techniques can rival her.
Once Huo Yun breaks through, she will be among the top combatants in the Foundation Establishment stage, which shows how much combat power she can bring to Lin Xiuyuan.
After leaving Quanyang County, Lin Xiuyuan traveled straight to a desolate wilderness. Looking around, he felt the place was sparsely populated and quite suitable.
Lin Xiuyuan stopped his escape and landed on the ground. He then took out the Azure Armor Array Plate and a specially purchased attack array, the Dual Blade Spirit Array. It could unleash the offensive power of a mid-stage early Foundation Establishment cultivator. Activated with spirit stones, it could unleash two fierce blade lights in about ten breaths. Overall, it wasn't particularly powerful, but it was sufficient.
Combined with the Azure Armor Array Plate, it can even withstand one or two of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
As for the concealment array, it wasn't set up. The breakthrough of the spirit beast was extremely loud, and it was impossible for an ordinary array to conceal it.
However, after arranging everything, Lin Xiuyuan did not immediately release Huo Yun to break through, but instead sat quietly cross-legged in place and waited.
Two or three days passed without any cultivators passing by, indicating that this place was indeed remote, desolate, and sparsely populated.
Lin Xiuyuan then released Huo Yun, allowing her to prepare for her breakthrough.
While it may seem a bit overly cautious, it's always good to be a little prudent.
Ordinary spirit beasts are one thing, but this is a fire python ranked forty-third on the list of extraordinary demons!
In the Demon Realm, the Fire Python Clan is a powerful clan, and it is rare to find such spirit beasts outside. In fact, those who make it into the top 100 of the Extraordinary Demon Ranking are either powerful clans in the Demon Realm or are extremely rare, appearing only once every thousand years.
It's easy to imagine that someone would have malicious intentions if they were caught in such a situation, so they would have to be extra careful.
However, just as the fire python's body began to glow red and started to fluctuate chaotically, preparing to adjust its energy to break through, it began to move forward.
A golden streak of light flew swiftly from the horizon.
Lin Xiuyuan frowned upon seeing this. Why did someone have to pass by at this time of year?
However, Lin Xiuyuan soon realized that something was wrong.
This golden beam of light seemed to be pointing straight at us?
From its appearance until its approach now, it has been heading straight in the direction he is in!
"Something's not right. Why does this person seem to be coming for me?"
Lin Xiuyuan frowned, sensing something was wrong. This aura belonged to a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator!
He turned to look at Huo Yun, who was just beginning to gather demonic energy to break through. At this point, it was difficult to stop. If he forcibly reversed the situation, it would cause great damage and might even affect her foundation and bloodline. In that case, the probability of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage again would be very low!
Lin Xiuyuan had no choice but to immediately activate the Azure Armor Array Plate and the Twin Blade Spirit Array Plate.
Instantly, streaks of azure light flashed from all directions, converging towards the center and gradually forming a huge azure light shield that covered an area of several feet in radius. Then, the azure light suddenly shone brightly.
Within the azure light, several array plates flickered with brilliance, swirling and floating within, spreading out array patterns and radiating powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, seemingly poised to unleash a terrifying attack at any moment!
At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan slowly stood up, took out a stack of talismans, looked up, his expression slightly solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, this is my temporary cultivation place. My spirit beast is about to break through, so please go in another direction?"
"Heh, so this is the place I've been looking for. After waiting so long, you've finally left Quanyang County? It seems the burial ground you chose is quite nice, beautiful scenery, and sparsely populated..."
As the golden light drew closer, it gradually became clear that one of the figures was an elderly man with a full head of white hair, a ruddy complexion, and a vigorous spirit, dressed in an ordinary white robe.
At this moment, he was speaking with a cold laugh, his words filled with chilling murderous intent.
Lin Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat, his expression slightly darkening. He seemed to have guessed the identity of the newcomer, but was also somewhat surprised by it. He couldn't help but say:
"Fellow Daoist, have you mistaken me for someone else? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Heh, still pretending? I possess a secret technique. You killed two of my disciples and acquired my aura. Did you think you could get away with it... Huh!"
As the Golden Mirror Master approached on his sword, he spoke, then suddenly, through the hazy blue light, he seemed to see something. He let out a soft exclamation, his eyes showing surprise and delight, and then burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, it seems my wait for you to show up wasn't in vain. I never expected such a pleasant surprise. Tsk tsk, it's actually the Fire Python breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage?!"
Is it really that master Jin Jing?
Lin Xiuyuan's heart sank. He had thought that the cultivator was just a rogue cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and did not take him seriously!
But now it seems that the opponent has broken through to the mid-stage realm at some point!
This is troublesome!
Lin Xiuyuan's expression immediately darkened. This time, he had really outsmarted himself!
If Huo Yun had broken through earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have been caught up so easily by this Golden Mirror expert.
Two or three days were wasted, and the other party caught up with us. Life is truly unpredictable.
