Just then, several strange, sarcastic voices came from behind.
There seemed to be three to five people, each at the Great Perfection of the Twelfth Level of Qi Refining:
"My Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect has finally discovered a treasure trove! I've heard that mysterious sounds and auras of treasure have been detected within this vortex these past few days? If I obtain the treasure, perhaps I can help our Heavenly Demon Sect take over Yunmeng City!"
"Yes, Holy Son, if we take Yunmeng City this time, the entire Yunmeng Mountain Range will belong to our Heavenly Demon Sect! We can then dominate the cultivation world of the Yunmeng Mountain Range!"
"You core disciples shouldn't be too happy yet. Even I, as the Holy Son, dare not say that our Heavenly Demon Sect can take Yunmeng City this time!"
The Holy Son then continued:
"After all, Yunmeng City is home to Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the nine major sects..."
Upon hearing these voices, Lu Xuan quickly hid.
He also considered entering the vortex now and using the teleportation array to leave this place.
But just now Hu Yu'er said:
"I used my innate ability and discovered that now is not the time to go in. If I go in now, I might be teleported to another place!"
"who?"
That holy son seemed to possess some top-tier treasure, as he actually discovered Lu Xuan and Hu Yu'er.
"Cultivators from the Righteous Path Alliance? Did they really deliver themselves to our doorstep?"
The holy son, clad in a golden robe, saw Lu Xuan and Hu Yu'er, and they were instantly overjoyed:
"My True Demon Banner is about to advance to become a top-grade magic weapon. You, a mere cultivator, seem to possess profound magical power and could become the main soul of my True Demon Banner!"
"Don't even think about it. What holy son? In my eyes, you're nothing but a clay chicken and a clay dog."
Lu Xuan mocked without any politeness.
The Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect, pampered and of high status, could not stand idly by and watch Lu Xuan humiliate him.
"True Demon Banner!" The Holy Son unleashed his trump card right from the start.
"Soul-Eating Banner!"
Lu Xuan was not afraid and directly summoned his treasure, the Soul-Devouring Banner.
After this period of refinement, this banner has been upgraded to the category of top-grade magical artifacts.
Its power is no less than that of the opponent's True Demon Banner.
For a time, Lu Xuan and the Holy Son were evenly matched in strength.
"Holy Son, I, the Holy Maiden, have come to your aid!" As soon as the words were spoken, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared, stepping through the air. She was dressed in a light purple palace gown, exuding a unique, noble, and elegant aura.
The Holy Son said happily:
"Great! Saintess Lingyao, you've come at just the right time!"
Ling Yao nodded noncommittally upon hearing this, then looked at Lu Xuan in shock and said:
"Your strength is so great, comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage. Could you be a disciple of some Nascent Soul elder from the Righteous Path Alliance?"
"Why should I tell you? Holy Maiden? Go ahead and attack all at once! I'm not afraid of you joining forces at all. Your Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators are just bluffing; each and every one of you is pitifully weak..."
Lu Xuan deliberately provoked the other party.
Because he discovered that the saintess Lingyao possessed a Nascent Soul talisman, a jade ruyi, which might even be a legendary nascent soul talisman.
Lu Xuan must get his hands on it. With this, he can deal with late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Saintess Lingyao was furious upon hearing this:
"Dare to humiliate our Heavenly Demon Sect? You're courting death! Bring forth your Core Formation Talisman Treasure!"
This talisman was crafted by at least a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and its power is extremely terrifying.
"Now is the time!" Lu Xuan had been stalling for time precisely for this moment. In an instant, Lu Xuan used his movement technique to appear before the Holy Maiden Ling Yao.
He snatched the Core Formation Talisman from the other party's hand.
Lu Xuan then stepped into the vortex behind him.
In the blink of an eye, these things were accomplished.
The Holy Maiden Lingyao was so focused on activating the talisman in her hand that she had no idea that Lu Xuan would come to snatch it from her.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden Lingyao finally realized: "Where are you going? Give me back my talisman..."
Lu Xuan had already stepped into the teleportation array within the vortex, and his figure disappeared.
"No, I must go in and retrieve the treasure!" After saying this, Saintess Lingyao was about to step into the vortex.
“Saintess Lingyao, think it over! It’s very dangerous inside…” the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect said, trying to dissuade her.
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators had already arrived behind him to help.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan moved quickly, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get into the vortex teleportation array.
The Holy Maiden Lingyao disobeyed the Holy Son's words and stepped into the vortex! Her figure disappeared into the teleportation array.
Seeing this, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect said anxiously:
"Saintess Lingyao possesses a rare ice-elemental talent. If she encounters any danger, how am I supposed to explain this to our sect leader?"
...
I don't know how much time has passed.
Lu Xuan regained consciousness.
Looking around, all that could be seen was a vast, boundless desert.
The air was incredibly dry.
What made Lu Xuan feel dangerous was that he was unable to use his magic power.
This desert is really strange!
It seems that Hu Yu'er's innate supernatural abilities are not so reliable after all.
Fortunately, they weren't teleported to an extremely dangerous place.
