Chapter 169 - Scared Away

Endless blue strands crazily surged towards Lin Xuan, piercing through the void.

The middle-aged man and the White Robed Elder made their move together, unleashing vast energy to block the blue strands.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Like fabric being torn apart, the Protective Light Screen was penetrated, and three thousand blue strands transformed into sharp swords, stabbing straight towards them.

“Senior elders, I need your power!”

At this critical moment, Lin Xuan shouted loudly.

Ancient armor on his body burst forth with light, and an illusory shadow appeared, adorned with intricate engravings.

The middle-aged man and White Robed Elder looked at Lin Xuan in astonishment, then injected Spiritual Power into the armor’s phantom.

Buzz!

Empowered by the two Spirit Sea Seventh Layer Heaven Martial Artists, the ancient armor’s light surged mightily.

The solidified shadow spread continuously, eventually forming a bell-shaped defense that enveloped everyone.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The blue strand swords struck the bell-shaped Protective Light Screen, emitting a resounding clang.

Although it didn’t penetrate the bell-shaped defense, the enormous impact still sent everyone flying a great distance.

“We’re saved!”

The group landed on the ground, feeling as if they had narrowly escaped death.

However, Lin Xuan deeply furrowed his brows, the strength of the Green-haired Man far exceeded his expectations; if he had gone alone this time, he might have been in grave danger.

Yet before Lin Xuan and the others could relax, three thousand blue strands transformed into Spiritual Snakes and attacked again.

From the sky to the ground, in all eight directions, they densely assaulted Lin Xuan and the others.

With no other choice, the group joined forces to form the bell-shaped defense once again.

Suddenly, an idea struck Lin Xuan.

He sensed that within his Storage Ring, the mysterious blue egg was shaking more and more violently.

“Could it be about to crack?” Lin Xuan wondered.

“Little Xuanzi, I have a way to suppress that man, but it’s extremely dangerous,” Lord of Wine transmitted his message.

“No matter what, we have to try!” Lin Xuan said through gritted teeth, unwilling to live constantly in danger.

With his decision made, Lin Xuan prepared to act.

“Senior elders, go first!”

After giving his instructions, Lin Xuan charged forward.

His speed reached its extreme, dragging a streak of light in the air.

Quickly pulling out the blue egg, Lin Xuan held it in his embrace.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Sensing the presence of the blue egg, the three thousand blue strands changed their trajectory mid-air, abandoning the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower and others, and all targeted Lin Xuan.

The White Robed Elder and others turned pale, watching as Lin Xuan was about to be pierced through, yet they were powerless to help.

“Illusion Thunder Step!”

Lin Xuan shouted lowly, his body transformed into hundreds of light shadows, scattering in all directions.

For a moment, both the sky and the ground were filled with Lin Xuan’s illusions.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Like long spears, the three thousand blue strands swiftly pierced through these afterimages.

Lin Xuan’s true body rapidly approached the Green-haired Man, intending to use Lord of Wine’s power to seal him.

Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters!

Lin Xuan’s figure continuously shifted, finally closing in to only ten meters away from the Green-haired Man.

A black vortex suddenly appeared in front of him, spinning rapidly and emitting a devouring power.

At this moment, the blue egg in Lin Xuan’s arms made a cracking sound.

The shell cracked open, and a fuzzy little creature emerged.

It was palm-sized, covered in snow-white fur, and curled up.

A cold breeze blew by, and the little creature groggily opened its eyes.

Its black eyes, resembling black gemstones, twinkled with light.

Oink!

Oink!

Xiao Dong called out in a dazed manner twice, then grabbed onto Lin Xuan’s clothes to climb up.

Lin Xuan was stunned, and so was the green-haired man opposite him.

Inside the Mysterious Small Sword, Lord of Wine uttered a light “huh” and stopped what he was doing.

The black vortex in front of him kept getting smaller until it finally disappeared into thin air.

Lin Xuan stared blankly at the palm-sized little monkey in his arms, his mind short-circuited.

“A monkey from a blue egg?” Lin Xuan found his worldview collapsing!

The snow-white little monkey clung tightly to Lin Xuan, making “ooh ooh” noises adorably.

Looking at the snow-white little monkey, Lin Xuan thought of the several little monkeys that gave him the blue egg; these monkeys looked similar, except that Lin Xuan’s was smaller.

Rubbing his head, Lin Xuan cautiously looked at the green-haired man ahead.

The green-haired man, looking at the snow-white little monkey, wore a hint of confusion on his face but more overwhelmingly, fear.

“He’s actually afraid of this monkey?” Lin Xuan was greatly surprised.

The snow-white little monkey seemed to feel the gaze of the green-haired man, slowly turned its head, grabbed onto Lin Xuan’s clothes with one little paw, and with the other, pulled down its eyelid, making a face at the green-haired man.

Whoosh!

A streak of green light flashed by, bringing with it a gust of wind.

The green-haired man before him seemed to have seen something terrifying and fled.

Such speed was astonishing.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, gazing blankly at the little creature in his arms.

He had always thought the green-haired man considered the blue egg as Life Essence and wanted to seize it.

But today’s events had changed his mind.

The green-haired man had been scared off, which was unbelievable!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

From afar, silhouettes rapidly approached, Lin Xuan collected the broken eggshells and then heaved a sigh of relief.

“Are you alright?” the red-robed elder and others asked with concern.

Lin Xuan shook his head.

“Thanks for your concern, seniors, I’m fine.”

“What about that man?” Liu Yang asked, still frightened.

“He’s gone,” Lin Xuan exhaled sharply.

Hearing this, everyone relaxed.

Among them, the middle-aged man and the white-robed elder looked towards the side.

There, two Spirit Sea Seventh Layer Wolf Raider Leaders stood wretchedly, bearing wounds of all sizes.

Around them lay countless corpses, some already desiccated.

The two Wolf Raiders glared fiercely at Lin Xuan and the others, then swiftly departed.

The cold wind howled, and heavy snow wavered, bringing silence once again to the surroundings.

A faint smell of blood lingered in the air, reminding everyone of the events that had just unfolded.

Ooh ooh!

The snow-white little monkey hung on Lin Xuan, making pitiful noises.

“What an adorable little monkey!” Weiwei exclaimed, forgetting all her fears upon seeing it.

“Can I hold it?” Stars sparkled in Weiwei’s eyes.

Lin Xuan was stunned and dumbly nodded.

Weiwei picked up the snow-white little monkey, a smile spreading across her face.

“Elder Bai, what should we do now?” Liu Yang inquired.

We can’t stay here; the smell of blood will attract demon beasts from the ice fields.

Everyone approached the war chariot and found that the injured Blood Flood Horse had died, while the other was kneeling on the ground, continuously wailing.

“Without the Blood Flood Horses, our speed will be much slower!” the red-robed elder frowned and stated.

“If we need something to pull the chariot, I might have a method,” Lin Xuan said, stroking his chin.

Everyone looked at him, no one could ignore Lin Xuan’s opinions now, his earlier performance had been too dazzling, stunning everyone.

“I might be able to subdue a few Snow Wolves to replace the Blood Flood Horses.”

The elderly in red and white robes and the middle-aged man looked at Lin Xuan with surprise, somewhat disbelieving.

As it was known, although Engravers had robust Soul Power, they were ultimately not Beast Tamers; without special methods, it was impossible to tame demon beasts.

“Could it be that Lin Xuan is also a Beast Tamer?” The faces of the group were filled with odd expressions.
