Several days later.
At the rockfall slope.
Beneath a massive stone mountain, grotesque rocks, resembling ferocious beasts, lay coiled, their jagged edges gleaming coldly in the twilight. Lin Xiuyuan sat leaning against a moss-covered boulder, his clothes billowing in the mountain breeze, his eyes closed in repose.
In addition, there were five or six other people, including Xu Zeda and Cheng Mao.
They sat cross-legged not far apart, all with their eyes closed, resting.
The other three or four were cultivators from the original Loose Cultivator Alliance or the local forces of the Great Yue, one being a Perfected Purple Mansion cultivator and the other three being late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators.
Core cultivators like Ge Yun did not appear.
It's not that the trip is dangerous, or that I'm worried about losses, or that I need trusted confidants to look after the base.
It's simply because they all share the same characteristics.
That is, like Xu Zeda, they are extremely skilled in concealment techniques and escape methods.
In short, they're good at running away...
In this respect, independent cultivators are generally better than the disciples of aristocratic families and sects.
After all, cultivators who frequently roam the outside world, fighting for opportunities everywhere, and who are not proficient in this aspect, basically cannot reach this level.
Even when Lin Xiuyuan was still a rogue cultivator, when faced with a choice between combat skills and life-saving items and escape techniques, he would choose the latter first.
Of course, disciples of sects with superior lineages and profound knowledge are not necessarily weaker in this aspect; on the contrary, they are even more mysterious and unpredictable. They cannot be clearly understood even upon closer examination, which is generally true, and is the case in the current situation.
Back to the present, after going alone to the demonic stronghold and grasping Wu Xingteng's mindset, he figured that as long as the other party was concerned about his own path, he would not hesitate to make this happen.
They then joined Xu Zeda, Cheng Mao, and others at Luoshipo, a place on the inevitable route for the advancing demonic army.
I have been waiting for two days.
We waited patiently until the third day.
As the evening glow spreads, the world is bathed in golden light.
Three streaks of light approached in parallel from afar.
It appears all alone in the vast expanse of heaven and earth.
However, the aura emanating from those three streaks of light was like a force that could swallow mountains and rivers.
As the streaking light arrived, a vast, eerie, and strange aura seemed to invade from the east.
Lin Xiuyuan slowly opened his eyes and looked around, his expression calm.
Although Cheng Mao and the others remained calm, a hint of seriousness unconsciously crept into their eyes.
Just like the effect of a person's name or the shadow of a tree.
The three chief disciples of the demonic path who are present today are not the ordinary chief disciples we usually encounter!
However, he is the chief figure of a top-tier hegemonic power.
Representing the most prodigious talents of their era!
They had all personally experienced Lin Xiuyuan's combat power, and now, upon comparison, they were all very clear that each of them was a formidable figure no weaker than Lin Xiuyuan, and perhaps even more powerful.
How could one not be shaken when faced with the arrival of three top demonic cultivators together?
"I wonder what Manager Lin is planning to do, coming all the way here for this meeting... If the other party makes trouble, the situation could be very dangerous."
The group couldn't help but feel apprehensive, and amidst their tension and unease, doubts began to arise.
Lin Xiuyuan did not tell the group the specific details, but simply asked them to act as guards and accompany him to the meeting.
They were well aware that the situation was dire. The demonic army was pressing in, and for the Cloud Soaring Sect, it was like Mount Tai pressing down on them. If they were not careful, they would be crushed to pieces.
Nevertheless, although the entire army felt somewhat worried and hesitant, with Lin Xiuyuan in charge, he was like a pillar of strength, which made everyone unafraid.
They, too, probably have a kind of blind faith.
It's not hard to understand why Lin Xiuyuan would resort to unconventional tactics to resolve this situation.
However, at this moment, the opposing chief has an absolute advantage in terms of both combat strength and the overall situation.
They have the power to overturn the table at any time.
Therefore, this meeting is undoubtedly extremely risky.
I don't understand what brilliant plan Lin Xiuyuan has that could mediate between us.
As the matter came to a head, some doubts inevitably arose, and for a moment, everyone felt somewhat uneasy.
Three streaks of light slowly approached.
Lin Xiuyuan flew forward to meet them, and within his sight and with his divine sense, he could only detect three streaks of light.
"It seems they probably thought I was going to change my stance? That's why they're showing some sincerity."
When Lin Xiuyuan stood up to greet him, he naturally spread his divine sense to the fullest extent and found no other aura around him.
It's unclear whether they had an ambush or not... All three were extremely confident in themselves.
It should be the latter. The three chief figures are capable of handling any unexpected situation. Whether they want to suppress their own side or ambush and fight, they have absolute composure and confidence.
Lin Xiuyuan was somewhat relieved by this.
Although he was confident in resolving the situation, it was ultimately an unconventional tactic, which naturally carried considerable risks.
It seems that the smoke bombs were indeed quite effective.
Otherwise, if it were just a simple meeting, given the hatred between Wu Chengfeng and him, it would be strange if they didn't arrange an ambush, forming a net to trap him at any time.
After the light dissipated.
The demeanor of the three chief figures was on full display.
The two sides faced each other from a distance.
