Chapter 246 - Concealing the Heavenly Secrets
Chapter 246: Concealing the Heavenly Secrets
“Mad dog!”
Lin Xuanji almost broke out in cold sweat.
This little thing did not look very big and seemed like it was just born recently. However, it was quite strong and nearly pulled the folding fan away from his hand!
The folding fan in Lin Xuanji’s hand was quite powerful – it was a symbol of his lineage.
If he really lost the fan, he would probably lose his life.
Furthermore, he could not afford to lose it!
The more Lin Xuanji thought about it, the more afraid he got.
If Night Spirit had really snatched his folding fan away, how would he tell the old man upon returning?
“Heeya!”
Upon hearing that, Night Spirit’s eyes suddenly lit up as it cried softly, seemingly moved.
Lin Xuanji’s voice came to a halt.
“Ow?”
“There’s a reaction?”
Elated, he looked at Su Zimo excitedly, “Fellow Daoist, what did Night Spirit just say?”
Suppressing his laughter, Su Zimo replied, “Night Spirit said that it wants to eat dragon eggs. It’s asking if you can get any?”
Lin Xuanji: “…”
“Y-Y-You…! You guys…!”
Lin Xuanji pointed at Su Zimo and Night Spirit. His nose was crooked from anger and his voice was quivering.
He felt that if he continued to stay with this man and beast, he would definitely break down.
“Hmph, good luck to you guys!”
With a furious flick of his sleeves, Lin Xuanji soared into the air and flew off into the distance.
“No matter what, thank you, fellow Daoist!”
Seeing that Lin Xuanji was about to disappear, Su Zimo hurriedly shouted.
Those words were truly from the bottom of his heart.
If not for Lin Xuanji, he would have died inside the primordial ruin.
When he heard that, Lin Xuanji who was speeding in the skies felt his legs give way and almost fell.
Su Zimo had reaped quite a lot from this trip. Not only did he manage to remove the power of the Blood Slave Art remaining in his body, he even managed to eat a dragon’s egg.
However, Lin Xuanji got nothing at all.
All he got was a little bit of leftover juice…
Lin Xuanji continued speeding through the wind, feeling more upset the more he thought about it.
He had cultivated for dozens of years. As the successor of one of the top factions of Tianhuang Mainland, when had he ever suffered such a loss?
“That person must be the reincarnation of a jinx! Why else would my luck be so bad when I’m around him? Disciple of Ethereal Peak? Hmph, hmph! I’ve got to divine who he is and his background alongside the secrets he’s hiding!”
With that said, Lin Xuanji took a deep breath of air and a gray, gentle light appeared in his pupils. It spread out slowly, turning into a thin layer of haze that veiled his eyes.
Opening his palm, Lin Xuanji’s thumb made repeated contact with his other four fingers, tapping in a furious speed.
A mysterious, profound power swirled around Lin Xuanji’s fingertips.
“Oh?”
After a long time, Lin Xuanji’s body trembled and the gray fog in his eyes dispersed. Stunned, he muttered to himself, “How is this possible? I’m unable to divine it?”
His face was grim as he frowned.
“That person is only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, why can’t I divine it?”
“It doesn’t make sense.”
“Could… someone be concealing the heavenly secrets?”
Lin Xuanji’s gaze narrowed as he murmured softly, “There’s a supreme expert backing this lad?”
