Chapter 764: The Terrifying Lu Xuan

Fangzhang Continent, Tianya Mountain Base

Lin Hongcong and Zhou Yuan arrived at the base, but Lu Xuan had already left, leaving behind a mess and many dead bodies, which made Lin Hongcong and Zhou Yuan furious.

Especially with Lin Huayuan’s sacrifice, Lin Hongcong was very angry. There were not many people left from the Lin family who survived since the era of cultivation; losing one means losing more, especially since he was very close to his nephew.

"Snap"

Lin Hongcong slapped Yu Yuhua on the face, and Yu Yuhua’s face immediately swelled up, but he did not dare to say a word and could only lower his head and endure the beating.

"Capture him, and after the teleportation array is repaired, send him back to Haigang City to be dealt with by Ancestor Lin."

Lin Hongcong angrily scolded, saying that Yu Yuhua would be held responsible for this matter.

Tianya Mountain Base, having endured years of war, has complete defense measures; if enemies attack from outside, even someone achieving Tao would find it hard to break through.

Lu Xuan, as an independent cultivator, is not qualified to live inside the base; he can only go to the independent cultivator base, which is not only a distance away but also specially guarded against independent cultivators. After all, they have caused trouble many times over the past hundreds of years, so they are taken very seriously.

However, Yu Yuhua, because of his relationship with Lu Xuan, allowed Lu Xuan to live inside the base, which rendered most of the defense measures useless. Lu Xuan caused great chaos, resulting in the deaths of thousands, and the extent of the damage is still unknown.

Yu Yuhua was taken away, and he did not dare to resist; the other high-ranking officials also kept their heads down and said nothing. They did not stop Yu Yuhua, knowing they might face punishment themselves, and they were uncertain of the outcome. They just felt very unfortunate at this moment.

"Send out drones and robots to fully search for Lu Xuan’s whereabouts."

"Post a bounty on the Hunter Platform to capture Lu Xuan."

"All teams, go to the highest alert status…"

Lin Hongcong continuously issued orders. He had guarded Tianya Mountain for many years and understood the situation well. Lu Xuan was very strong, and sending cultivators to search for him would be like sending them to their deaths. So now, hope lay in these drones and robots.

As the orders were given, numerous drones and robots were dispatched. At the same time, the satellite system in the sky provided full support, constantly monitoring the area.

"Brother Lin, searching like this may not be a solution."

"Zhou Yuan, what do you want to say?"

"The Fangzhang Continent is not small. If he hides in the shadows, he could easily remain hidden for ten or eight years. But can we maintain such a high-pressure alert for ten or eight years?"

Zhou Yuan said that they had all guarded this place before and understood the situation of the Fangzhang Continent. The place was vast, and there were countless caves and underground tunnels. Even after hundreds of years, they had not fully explored it. Searching like this would not yield results.

"You’re right. Do you have any solutions?"

"I heard that the Spiritual Energy Research Institute has replicated the Tongtian Mirror from Danxia Sect. If we inform Ancestor Lin and borrow the Tongtian Mirror, then search for things left by Lu Xuan that carry his energy, it would surely work."

"Is the Tongtian Mirror ready?"

"I just heard about it not long ago; I asked around and found out."

Zhou Yuan said that the Spiritual Energy Research Institute has many projects, and they are all listed there. Now that Cao Wang and Zhu Bin are so popular, many people are envious and are applying for research projects. The artifact masters are no exception; they are specifically working on some rare top-tier magical tools, and the Tongtian Mirror is one of them.

"Okay, I’ll go ask. Zhou Yuan, you keep an eye on things for a while."

Lin Hongcong nodded and quickly called Lin Jiang on video.

Lin Jiang was surprised to learn this news, as he was not aware of it. He asked relevant people and found out that the Tongtian Mirror had indeed been created, but it had not been tested yet and may not be as powerful as the one from Danxia Sect back in the day.

Lin Jiang decided not to worry too much; he ordered it to be sent to the Penglai Continent and asked to track down Lu Xuan’s scent. There are many clues about this, especially since Lu Xuan has close ties with Lin Liyan and others, leaving traces to allow both sides to occasionally send Sound Passing Talismans.

"Open."

Two days later, Lin Hongcong obtained the Tongtian Mirror and Lu Xuan’s aura. He used magic to activate it, and soon, the Tongtian Mirror projected a shadow that showed Lu Xuan’s figure.

"Map comparison"

"Information comparison"

Lu Xuan should be in a cave, so Lin Hongcong had the artificial intelligence analyze images to simulate the colors of the rocks around Lu Xuan in the cave.

Quickly, the artificial intelligence listed several suspicious locations and immediately sent drones and robots to search.

"He was disturbed in Area J60."

"No way."

Without a word, Zhou Yuan flew straight to Area J60, and the big boss, Tao Achieving, unleashed a secret technique, moving at incredible speed.

"Boom"

As Lu Xuan was moving, he sensed the enemy approaching and immediately went to meet them, instantly clashing in mid-air.

Lu Xuan’s body fell from the sky, but before he hit the ground, he turned around and shouted, "Swallowing Heavenly Demon Skill!"

Lu Xuan’s whole body changed; he twisted and his handsome face turned terrifying, and his power surged, getting really close to achieving Tao.

"The aura of a demon beast."

Zhou Yuan frowned, as Lu Xuan’s aura reminded him of the demon beasts he had seen on Penglai Continent; it was wild and unstable, but very fierce, and his strength had increased greatly.

"Soul Changing Dharma Appearance."

Lu Xuan summoned the Soul Changing Dharma Appearance, which also looked like a terrifying monster, almost not human at all.

"Hmph."

Zhou Yuan snorted coldly and drew his flying sword, unleashing thousands of sword energies that swept toward Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan knew that he had not learned the best secret techniques, so he chose to rely on his strong body. Like a beast, he charged at Zhou Yuan, and his wild energy burst forth wildly.

The two fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, and surprisingly, Lu Xuan did not fall behind. Although Zhou Yuan thought Lu Xuan’s moves were quite rough, they carried a powerful and heavy feeling, with each strike being a fierce contest against Zhou Yuan.

"Senior Brother Zhou, I’m coming!"

Lin Hongcong soon arrived, putting away the Tongtian Mirror and taking out a long spear, using his family’s secret technique, the Slaying God Spear.

Lin Hongcong had deep hatred for Lu Xuan and lunged forward, continuously stabbing with the long spear. After dozens of rounds, Lu Xuan’s sword shattered completely, and he lost the battle of magical treasures.

However, Lu Xuan would not give up. His body was even stronger than the sword, with high defense, high output, and fast recovery.

Lu Xuan only used the simplest moves, yet he was able to withstand the attacks of two powerful Tao Achievers.

"Senior Brother Lin, what is going on with this person? He didn’t take any pills, yet his recovery ability is so extraordinary?"

Zhou Yuan whispered to Lin Hongcong. He had clearly severely injured this man, but he still looked full of life, as if his injuries did not affect him at all.

"It might be a risky secret technique; be careful not to fail."

Lin Hongcong said he knew many dangerous secret techniques; in battle, the more injured he was, the stronger he became. His ancestor Lin Batian from the Lin family was like that.

This technique is very hard to learn; one must endure great pain. Ninety-nine percent of cultivators cannot succeed, but those who do become very powerful.

"He wasn’t this strong a couple of days ago."

Zhou Yuan murmured again; he had seen Lu Xuan fight at Tianya Mountain Base, and back then, he didn’t seem this powerful. Could it be that this guy grows stronger when facing tough opponents?

Lu Xuan had nothing to say at this moment; he had completely lost his mind. His Swallowing Heavenly Demon Skill had a berserk state, and once he entered it, his power doubled, and he felt no pain. He only had one thought in his mind: to tear his opponent apart and devour them; as long as his opponent was not defeated, he wouldn’t retreat.

Their battle was being transmitted live to Haigang City, showing it in front of Lin Jiang.

"Lin Hongcong and Zhou Yuan are useless. Two Tao Achieving cultivators couldn’t defeat a Void Achieving evil practitioner in a hundred moves. I can’t just sit here; I need to go personally."

"Sit down, Little Ying. If we have to handle everything ourselves, why do we have so many people?"

Lin Jiang firmly pushed Cao Ying back into her seat. From the beginning, he never thought about taking action himself. He spent so much effort training his subordinates; if he had to do everything himself, what was the point of having them?

"Uncle, Lu Xuan’s magic seems very special. I want to find out what is happening."

"It should be related to biological research. This guy is a biologist. Qiu Weidao has already sent someone to investigate. Don’t worry, just wait and see."

"Okay, but Zhou Yuan and Lin Hongcong are not very strong, especially Lin Hongcong. He hasn’t mastered the Slaying God Spear and lacks the fierce spirit that Lin Batian has."

"Their combat ability is indeed not top-notch."

Lin Jiang nodded. Lin Hongcong and Zhou Yuan were not the best in the Yun State during the cultivation era. The best have already perished; there is no way around it. Back in the day, Lin Batian was exceptional, defeating enemies across realms.

"We still need to study more powerful techniques and strong magical treasures. Lu Xuan’s recovery ability is quite impressive. If one hit doesn’t take him down, he is like a cockroach. We need the ability to finish him in one blow."

"He is a bit tricky. I will send down two Space Battleships. If they can’t handle it, then we’ll let the battleships deal with it."

Lin Jiang nodded. Lu Xuan is quite capable. To be honest, if it weren’t for their group of cultivators from the cultivation era keeping Lu Xuan in check, he would definitely be the strongest in the world.

In fact, it was not just Lu Xuan; the brilliance of many extraordinary talents was overshadowed by this group of people. They should have had outstanding performances and great honors, but people like Lin Jiang became a heavy burden on them.
