Chapter 98: Coastal Pursuit
Out on the sea.
Lin Yixuan had just advanced a short distance when the sky began to become overcast again. Lightning arcs kept rolling in the clouds, and thunder rumbled non-stop. (It happened again. The weather was fine just now, but once you get close to that guy, this happens.)
"Can you feel it? It's in the water not far ahead."
Lin Yixuan asked.
"I feel the energy in front of you and above you. It's violent, but a little familiar!"
A doubtful voice came from the Phoenix Egg.
(Familiar? No, he meant above.)
"That big guy is down there."
Lin Yixuan reminded.
"I see. This energy above is a bit like the energy of Thunder Falcon. The big guy in the water is a bit like..."
The Phoenix Egg spoke in its heart, and then made a sound like the sound of nature.
When Lin Yixuan heard this heavenly sound, he instantly felt happy. He closed his eyes unconsciously and felt it with his heart.
(This kind of voice strikes directly into my heart, it is so comfortable to listen to.)
Not long after, a head quietly emerged from the sea, and Lin Yixuan didn't even notice it. Then the head quietly approached where Lin Yixuan was, and then slowly rose up.
Feeling something strange around him, Lin Yixuan opened his eyes and was instantly startled. He directly used the "Cloud Shadow Step" to move sideways several feet, staring vigilantly at the guy who suddenly appeared in front of him.
(A huge head suddenly appeared in front of me, and the tentacles of the octopus stood on the water. Anyone who saw it would be scared, and I even considered flying over it at that time. Fortunately, I didn't try it at the time.)
The octopus scratched its bald head with one of its tentacle, looking confused.
(I clearly heard the call, and the voice did come from this guy in front of me, what on earth is going on?)
"Lei Yuan, is that you?"
The uncertain voice of Phoenix Egg came from the direction of Lin Yixuan.
Hearing the familiar voice, the octopus nodded excitedly
(How could this guy be related to the Phoenix? And isn’t this guy just an octopus?)
“That guy nodded!”
Lin Yixuan reminded.
"The guy in front of you is called Lei Yuan. He volunteered to protect our Phoenix Clan. But I remember Lei Yuan is very afraid of water. How could he be in the sea? Did he take over the body of this guy in front of you?"
Phoenix Egg wanted to explain, but didn't know how, so he could only say whatever came to his mind.
(Is it still possible? But it is true that after reaching a certain level of cultivation, it is not so easy to die. The worst that can happen is to possess someone else's body.)
Lin Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
(Finally, I don’t have to run for my life!)
The octopus was roaring. Lin Yixuan knew it was talking, but he had no idea what it was saying.
A long, long time passed.
The octopus did not make any more sound, but kept staring at Lin Yixuan, as if it wanted to remember him, then slowly fell back into the sea and dived!
The sky also returned to its original clear and sunny state.
Seeing the sea surface return to calm, Lin Yixuan knew that the matter had been resolved. As for what they talked about, that was their business and he didn't need to care.
(There’s no telling how many of these big fish there are in the ocean, so it’s better to be safe and take the same route we came from!)
Lin Yixuan flew towards the coastline of Han State.
(Also, it seems that a lot of things must have happened when the Phoenix was reborn, and it should be given time to sort it out!)
The seaside of Han State.
Everyone was surprised when they saw a figure flying towards them from the open sea.
(There are still people who dare to go out to sea at this time, and it seems that they have returned safely!)
In a room in a large courtyard in the town.
A soldier ran in hurriedly and said.
"Report~ Just found someone coming back from the open sea."
"What does that man look like?"
An old man asked anxiously.
"That person was wearing a white robe, and his features could not be seen clearly for the time being, but what was certain was that he was a young man!"
The soldier replied
"The young man in white must be him, brother, you must help me this time!"
The old man pleaded.
"It's not impossible to help you, but I have to confirm the other party's identity first!"
The middle-aged man said.
After they finished talking, they came to the beach.
Looking at the young man who was getting closer, the old man said affirmatively.
"It's this guy. He must have gotten something from the 'Phoenix Land'."
Lin Yixuan gradually approached the beach and recognized the old man who had escaped from the island at a glance.
(Why is this guy here? Did he find help?)
Lin Yixuan observed everyone carefully, and then focused his attention on the middle-aged man next to the old man.
(This guy's cultivation is hard to tell. Could it be that he is even higher than the old man? What's going on? Why am I so unlucky? But seeing that he doesn't seem to want to make a move right away, I guess he wants to test my identity. I can take advantage of that.)
"Boy, you can't escape! You killed so many people from my Li family. You must confess here today."
The old man said angrily.
Lin Yixuan frowned.
(The Li family? They have fallen to the point of asking for help. They probably don’t have any special background or power. I have to be more assertive.)
"Who do you think your Li family is? How dare you act so arrogant in front of me?"
Lin Yixuan questioned.
The middle-aged man frowned when he heard Lin Yixuan's tone.
(This kid... is he from a very important background? Why is he so arrogant?)
"Where did you come from, you bastard? You don't even take my Li family seriously."
The old man questioned angrily.
Lin Yixuan observed the middle-aged man's expression.
(This guy is wavering. Looks like he needs to be stronger.)
Lin Yixuan immediately shook his wrist, and a black sword appeared in his hand. Then he immediately used all his strength to perform the "Great Sword Controlling Technique" and began to accumulate power. A huge magic sword took shape in the air, and then he said viciously.
"You dare to insult me?"
The middle-aged man looked at the sword that was gradually taking shape.
(Although I can resist it, it will take a lot of effort. To have such a powerful technique and such a bad temper, he must be the son of some top power who cannot be easily offended.)
"Young man, wait a minute!" the middle-aged man spoke up to stop him.
"Give it to me, and apologize."
Lin Yixuan ignored the middle-aged man and said viciously, then controlled the magic sword to smash at the old man.
The middle-aged man frowned.
(Although I can’t see through this guy’s cultivation, it’s obvious that he hasn’t reached the Nascent Soul stage yet. His attitude is so arrogant. It seems that he is really the son of a top power and cannot be easily offended. If I take action at this moment, it will definitely cause his disgust! Brother, you’d better pray for the best.)
The middle-aged man looked at the old man, then looked away reluctantly.
The old man did not expect that Lin Yixuan would dare to attack so blatantly. He quickly summoned a huge phantom, which then turned into a shield to block in front of him.
(I still feel that it is not safe enough.)
Then he quickly took out a white jade pendant, chanted a spell, and the jade pendant turned into a light shield that covered the old man.
Lin Yixuan saw the white jade pendant that the old man took out.
(It feels a little familiar.)
The huge energy sword hit the old man's shield in an instant. The shield dissipated after a short while of resistance, and then hit the light shield and was blocked by it.
After the smoke and dust cleared, the light shield disappeared, and the jade pendant turned into dust. The old man looked gloomy, staring at Lin Yixuan intently.
(Although I was not injured, the jade pendant that could save my life was gone.)
The old man did not dare to speak casually, (because he could not figure out the other party's cultivation level, and he had only just reached the Nascent Soul stage. He was really afraid that if the other party did this again, his life would be in danger!)
The old man seemed to remember something and looked at the middle-aged man next to him for help.
