Chapter 96: Treasure Hunter
In a mysterious space on a mysterious island in the outer sea.
(Based on what it said before, it might not answer me if I ask it directly, so I have to trick it into saying something.)
"Tell me about your current situation and I'll consider whether I should take you away."
Lin Yixuan said seriously.
"I feel like I'm almost ready to come out. I just need one last chance."
The voice in the phoenix egg said.
"Oh? Opportunity? What kind of opportunity?"
Lin Yixuan continued to ask.
"how could I know."
Phoenix Egg said.
"Okay, I can choose to believe you for now, but tell me, where is this place and why are you here?"
Lin Yixuan continued to ask.
"here it is......"
Phoenix Egg hesitated and couldn't say anything.
Lin Yixuan put down the phoenix egg, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"No, take me out. I beg you. I can tell you, but you must not tell anyone else."
Phoenix Egg said pleadingly.
Lin Yixuan turned around and just looked at the phoenix egg.
"This is our Phoenix clan's 'place of inheritance' and also our 'place of rebirth'."
Phoenix Egg explained.
"The place of inheritance? The place of rebirth?"
Lin Yixuan was a little confused.
(If it is a place of inheritance, I can still understand it, but what does a place of rebirth mean?)
"When the Phoenix Clan is about to fall, they will return here and then transform into a Phoenix egg, hatch again, start over, and then come back here to receive the inheritance from their previous self!"
Phoenix Egg explained.
"So, you can inherit all the memories of your previous self?"
Lin Yixuan asked.
"Inheritance will be lost over time. If there is no way to break out of the shell in time to receive the inheritance, the inheritance will slowly disappear over time."
Phoenix Egg explained.
"You haven't hatched yet? You haven't received the inheritance yet? How do you know that the golden compass is the treasure of your clan?"
"This is all thanks to the group of people who came last time. They brought the Phoenix people with them. It was them who allowed me to obtain part of the inheritance. However, because I have been sleeping for too long, my inherited memory is not complete and a large part of it is missing."
Phoenix Egg explained.
(People of the Phoenix? Are you talking about that golden guy?)
"Okay, I'll trust you for now. I'll take you out."
After Lin Yixuan finished speaking, he picked up the phoenix egg and walked out of the stone wall according to the instructions.
As soon as I walked out of the stone wall, I saw that the old man had disappeared, and the guy wrapped in golden light was fighting with another person.
(What’s going on? It’s only been a short while since I went in!)
At this time, everyone who was fighting outside saw Lin Yixuan walking out of the stone wall with a stone in his hand, and they all turned their eyes over.
"Damn it! Someone got there first. Catch him for me."
An old man pointed at Lin Yixuan and said angrily.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately rushed towards Lin Yixuan's location.
Lin Yixuan quickly put the phoenix egg into his sea of consciousness, and then immediately performed the "Cloud Shadow Step" to distance himself from the people rushing over.
(These people are most likely the ones who returned alive as the old man mentioned.)
"Everyone, let's talk it out. I don't want to kill innocent people." Lin Yixuan said solemnly.
(These people are obviously at the Jindan stage. As for the cultivation level of the old man who just gave the orders, it is hard to tell, but he might be at the Yuanying stage.)
"Boy, you are young but you are quite arrogant. If you don't want to kill innocent people, hand over the treasure you got from the stone wall, I can consider sparing your life."
The old man motioned for the others to stop and said.
(It's called consideration, but in fact it's just to see the value of the thing and whether it's necessary to kill and silence it!)
"If that's the case, then there's nothing to discuss?"
After Lin Yixuan finished speaking, he shook his wrist and a black strange sword appeared in his hand. He directly performed the "Blue Dragon Out of the Sea" and a blue dragon gradually took shape, then roared and rushed towards the people opposite.
(What’s going on? Why does it feel like the power has increased a lot!)
The old man instantly appeared beside everyone, and a huge shadow appeared behind him, then condensed into a light shield that protected everyone inside.
(I can’t tell the level of this guy’s cultivation. Looking at the power of his casual attack, could it be that he is in the Nascent Soul stage? Such a young Nascent Soul stage? How is this possible?)
The blue dragon slammed into the energy shield, causing it to sway. When the energy dissipated, the old man stood there with a gloomy face, staring at Lin Yixuan.
(How could it be? I remember that the last time I fought Su Shiqian, the power was not so strong. I created this move during the trial under the tree. This move takes advantage of the characteristics of water. The long and continuous attack makes the power quite strong. This is the sea. Could it be because of the geographical advantage?)
Lin Yixuan looked at the old man with disdain and said.
"If you want to fight, I'm always available to accompany you, but the others must die. You should understand what I mean, right?"
The old man glanced at Lin Yixuan, then glanced at everyone else, sighed and said.
"I made a mistake this time."
He stared at Lin Yixuan and said viciously.
"Boy, you are lucky this time. You won't be so lucky next time."
The old man said and motioned for everyone to leave.
Hearing that everyone was about to leave, the golden figure was unwilling and instantly appeared in front of everyone who was about to leave.
"Damn it, it's this annoying guy again."
A middle-aged man complained.
“Help him!”
The sound of the phoenix egg reached Lin Yixuan's mind.
Lin Yixuan was stunned for a moment and asked in his mind.
"Uh~ what's going on?"
"Remember the old man who appeared here with you? He was killed by that group of people."
Phoenix Egg said.
(Was he killed by that group of people? Help him? Could that golden guy be the old man’s son?)
Lin Yixuan looked at the golden figure in shock.
(In just one year, from an ordinary person, he reached the point where he could compete with a Nascent Soul? How could this happen?)
"Help him, he won't last much longer."
The Phoenix Egg said in a somewhat anxious voice.
(Since the old man brought me here, I'll help him!)
Lin Yixuan immediately performed the "Great Sword Controlling Technique" to begin to condense spiritual energy, and a huge magic sword was gradually taking shape.
Sensing that something was wrong with the surrounding energy, the old man looked at Lin Yixuan. Looking at the huge magic sword that was gradually taking shape, the old man was instantly shocked.
(This guy went back on his word. You can’t protect these people! There is the golden guy and this mysterious guy. If I don’t leave now, I will definitely die here!)
Having made up his mind, the old man instantly took out a mysterious talisman, then spat a mouthful of blood on the talisman, and the whole person disappeared instantly.
Noticing that the old man's aura had disappeared, Lin Yixuan was stunned for a moment.
(Is this a teleportation talisman? Why do I feel like I’ve seen it before? Never mind, let’s deal with the others first.)
At this time, the magic sword has taken shape, and Lin Yixuan shouted "Get out of the way!"
Then he controlled the magic sword and smashed it towards the crowd.
Upon hearing this, the golden figure instantly disappeared from the spot and returned to the platform.
Everyone had no time to react and disappeared in the huge energy explosion. Even the trees under their feet disappeared.
