Transmigrating into the body of a white-haired fairy, she also encounters a late-born woman seeking

"Such speed! They can even sense my presence. These two must be at the Saint Realm."

"The Saintly Realm is patrolling again at night? The Liu family is indeed hiding some secret."

"They might actually be plotting to create the Asura Demon Body. It seems that the information Chu Yang revealed is true."

"If that's the case, then didn't Chu Yang already have a countermeasure in place?"

Lin Xi knew something was wrong and activated the Seven Profound Steps of Flowing Wind with all his might, concealing his aura to the extreme as he fled into the distance.

"I'm being tracked now. If I go to see Chu Yang and delay his plans, it will be troublesome."

"So now I can only rely on myself to escape the Liu family's pursuit?"

"It seems this is the only way. For now, let's not enter Xuanhuang Valley."

"The aura has vanished again?"

Following the subtle clues, Elder Tang and Elder Qi traced Lin Xi's original location, only to find it deserted and his presence gone. They were immediately stumped.

It seems this intruder has exceptional stealth skills.

Both of them had reached the early stage of the Saintly Realm, yet they were finding it difficult to track each other down.

In the distance, sensing that the two had lost their trail, Elder Mu volunteered to help Liu Zongbao.

"Young Master, to avoid any trouble, let me go and capture this thief. This way, the Ancestor's plan can proceed smoothly."

"Alright, Elder Mu, please be careful." Liu Zongbao nodded and finally agreed.

The next second, Elder Mu's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Elder Tang and Elder Qi.

"Go back and protect the young master."

"Spirit-Locking Spell!"

Old Master Mu began to use his methods to track down Lin Xi.

One after another, illusory blue threads coalesced, their origin being the hand seals and light in Elder Mu's hand, and their end extending to the edge of a jumble of rocks in the outer field.

Clearly, the thief had hidden among the rocks.

"Let's all chase after it!"

Liu Zongbao was overjoyed at the sight and led his troops into the rubble.

"Oh no, is this a tracking method?"

Seeing the continuous thin threads extending towards her, Lin Xi's expression changed, and she immediately activated her Qingxu magic to annihilate the threads.

However, Qingxu's magical power could only erase two-thirds of it; the remaining one-third was already too late.

"Damn, how come there are so many threads!"

"You thief, where do you think you're going!"

In the blink of an eye, Elder Mu had already arrived in mid-air. He flicked his sleeves toward Lin Xi, revealing a universe within them, and a fierce gale swept across the entire rocky area.

Under the force of this strong wind, Lin Xi's figure was forced to emerge from hiding and appear among the rocks.

"Lin Xi, it's you?!"

At this time, Liu Zongbao had also led his clansmen to the rocky area.

When he saw that the person who came was Lin Xi, his expression was shocked, and then his face was full of smiles, filled with a kind of crazy excitement, which intensified.

"Hahaha~~ This is truly a stroke of luck!"

"I was just thinking about you, but I never expected you to appear in front of me in the blink of an eye."

"It's like heaven is on my side! You're finally in my hands, and you can't escape today!!"

Looking at Liu Zongbao, who seemed to have gone mad, Lin Xi frowned slightly.

"Liu Zongbao, I'm just here at Zidan Peak to refine medicine. What right do you have to arrest me?"

"There is no prohibition against disciples from other peaks intervening within Purple Pill Peak."

"On what grounds? Because you sneaked into this restricted area!"

"This area is now under the jurisdiction of my Liu family. The rules here are my rules. If I say you've broken the rules, then you've broken the rules."

"I am a disciple of Master Gu Lan of Shuiyue Peak. If you dare to touch Shuiyue Peak, we will not let you off!" Lin Xi's voice grew colder and colder.

"Heh, so what?"

Liu Zongbao remained noncommittal and walked towards Lin Xi step by step.

At the same time, members of the Liu clan also slowly spread towards the pile of rocks.

They intended to cut off Lin Xi's retreat by surrounding him.

"Soon, my Liu family will become the strongest family in the Xuanling Sect. At that time, what will your Shuiyue Peak rely on to contend with me?"

"I had already taken you by then, so Shuiyuefeng had no choice but to compromise."

"Senior Sister Lin Xi, obediently follow me and become my woman. From now on, I will give you the happiness you want. I can give you anything you want, and only I am worthy of you."

"I can give you another chance to choose..."

Liu Zongbao's gaze lingered on Lin Xi, as if he were examining the most perfect body in the world, growing increasingly intense.

He had been with hundreds of women, and he had an almost obsessive fascination with Lin Xi.

Feeling the aggression in Liu Zongbao's gaze, Lin Xi's eyes grew colder and colder.

"If I refuse, will you let me go today?"

"Let you go? I finally got this opportunity, how could I possibly let you go?"

Whether you agree or not, I'm taking you back tonight.

"Liu Zongbao, it might not be too late if you give up, otherwise you will definitely regret it."

"Oh? Do you have some other tricks up your sleeve?" Liu Zongbao said with a half-smile.

"I... Chu Yang is also at Purple Pill Peak right now. He already knows I'm here to see him. If you dare to touch me, he will absolutely not let you off!"

"Chu Yang?!"

Upon hearing the name Chu Yang from Lin Xi, a violent madness clearly appeared in Liu Zongbao's eyes.

"It's him again; he'll always be in your heart!"

Why did you fall for him?!

"Looks like you've come to see him again tonight, you shameless slut!"

"Liu Zongbao, watch your mouth. What I do with him is none of your business!"

"Even after all this, you're still defending him?"

Liu Zongbao was so angry that he was panting heavily, and his heart was becoming increasingly agitated.

"Fine, fine, since you've said that, I'll definitely skin him alive and show you what real suffering feels like!"

"You think you can take me on?" Lin Xi scoffed.

"Have you forgotten how you knelt before him back then?"

"Shut up!!"

"Go over there and seal her acupoints!"

Liu Zongbao roared and pointed at Lin Xi, pointing at Elder Mu.

Upon seeing this, Elder Mu and the others immediately surrounded Lin Xi.

However, just as everyone approached Lin Xi within ten meters, an astonishing beam of energy shot out from the Xuanhuang Valley, piercing straight into the sky.

The next second, centered on Xuanhuang Valley, a violent earthquake began to shake.

The sudden tremor and shaking caused everyone present to fall to the ground, as if the earth's crust were being shed.

"What's going on?!"

"Could it be that Xuanhuang Valley has already made its move?"

"Oh no, that little girl ran away?!"

The Liu family looked in horror toward Xuanhuang Valley, where strange phenomena were constantly occurring.

After all, their agreement was to act tonight.

Therefore, they paid special attention to Xuanhuang Valley.

However, by the time they came to their senses, Lin Xi's figure had already disappeared into the rubble.
