"Did the Mist Leopard Crocodile King not already retreat?"
Lin Dong looked at the tense Jiang Lei and the others with a hint of doubt in his eyes, causing Little Marten, who was hiding in the dark observing, to roll its eyes.
"You silly kid, haven't you seen anything like this before? Generally speaking, the only possibility that would make a demon beast give up its prey and run away is..."
"What possibility?"
Little Marten was choked by Lin Dong's innocent look, but it understood. After all, Lin Dong wasn't a demon beast and hadn't interacted with them much, so it was normal for him not to understand their habits.
Just as Little Marten was about to explain, Lin Dong, whose mind had just blanked out, realized that he had asked a stupid question and quickly said in his mind.
"You mean, an even more terrifying demon beast is coming, so it scared away the two Shaping Realm Mist Leopard Crocodile Kings?"
"Hehe, so, Lin Dong boy, you're in luck this time. Tsk tsk, to be able to scare away two Shaping Realm demon beasts with just its aura, it's most likely a Creation Realm demon beast. So, you should think about your escape route first!"
Little Marten said with a strange laugh, but it was still confident about safety. With its current strength, it might not be able to defeat a Creation Realm demon beast, but it could still protect Lin Dong and Little Flame.
"Let's see first."
Lin Dong wasn't in a hurry to run. He had a good impression of these people, especially Jiang Yinyin, a naive and cute little girl. If possible, he would try to help.
Jiang Lei and the others stared nervously at the deep mist, their hands trembling slightly as they held their weapons, due to their excessive tension.
To be able to scare away Shaping Realm demon beasts with just its aura, how strong would the demon beast hiding in the depths of the mist be? Great Completion of the Qi Creation Realm? Creation Realm?
"Daddy, look, isn't there a person there!"
Just then, Jiang Yinyin's clear and sweet voice suddenly rang out, causing Jiang Lei and the others, and even Lin Dong, to subconsciously turn their heads to look in the direction she was pointing.
In the dim mist that the bonfire couldn't reach, a faint white figure flowed with the black mist, and the white figure seemed to become clearer.
In the mist, when Lin Xuan's clear and bright eyes fell on the pair of black eyes, he seemed to feel something special flash through his mind, but it was already gone when he wanted to sense it carefully.
Looking up again at the pair of eyes that had become dark, Lin Xuan's eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly, and then he stepped towards the adventurer team.
Beside the bonfire, Jiang Lei, Jiang Xue, and the others looked at the white-robed figure walking out of the mist, a look of shock flashing in their eyes. When Lin Dong saw Lin Xuan, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
"Damn, why is this guy here? With his strength, what is he doing here? It shouldn't be..."
As if thinking of something, Little Marten's heart couldn't help but feel a little worried. It didn't think that it and Lin Dong could snatch from this pervert whose strength was too abnormal.
You must know that even the successor of the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace was directly defeated by this monster in the Ancient Tomb Mansion. That was a disciple who could be accepted by the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace Palace Master.
Although there was no clear evidence, it was not difficult for Little Marten to guess their relationship, given that the two appeared one after the other in this remote corner of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the Ancient Azure Sky Lotus under Ling Qingzhu's feet.
Hearing what Little Marten said, Lin Dong's heart tightened slightly. If Lin Xuan wanted to compete with him, he didn't seem to be very competitive, whether in terms of reason or strength.
"It shouldn't be, the Young Clan Leader is focused on practicing the sword. Didn't you say before that the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace Palace Master wanted to take him as a disciple? The Young Clan Leader is still here, which means he refused. He even refused such a powerful figure, it shouldn't be..."
Little Marten couldn't help but roll its eyes when it heard this, but it wasn't good to explain to the ignorant Lin Dong, for fear of being heard by Lin Xuan.
How could the Ancestor Symbol be compared with a mere Revolving Wheel Realm expert accepting a disciple? Are you insulting the ancestor of your Symbol Master lineage?
Just as Lin Dong and Little Marten were communicating, Jiang Lei quickly asked people to put away their weapons and politely cupped his fists at Lin Xuan.
"Thank you for your help, Eagle Martial Hall is very grateful!"
"No need, Lin Xuan is just following the guidance of his heart, so the one who saved you is not me, but her!"
Lin Xuan calmly said, and while speaking, he also raised his hand and cupped his fist towards Jiang Yinyin, who was standing beside Jiang Lei. He was never a person who would lie, nor did he bother to lie. After he entered the Mist Forest, everything was the intuition from his heart, guiding him all the way here.
Perhaps, this is the legendary Dao rhythm. Even if it has not yet awakened, occasionally a little bit of power will be contaminated with a very faint aura, and this aura contains the charm of the Way of Life and Death.
And as soon as the name 'Lin Xuan' was uttered, instantly, the expressions of Jiang Lei and the others changed slightly, and a strong look of horror instantly rose in their eyes.
In Lin Dong's eyes, there was also a similar expression, but not because of Lin Xuan, but because of what Lin Xuan said, and the direction his gaze was looking—Jiang Yinyin, who was holding Little Flame.
Lin Dong naturally knew Lin Xuan's character very well. If he said so, wouldn't that mean...
"Damn, could it be that this cute little girl holding the stupid tiger is a deeply hidden expert? Could it be, a legendary Reincarnator?"
Little Marten couldn't help but exclaim. With its strength, it hadn't been able to detect Jiang Yinyin's difference.
Jiang Lei, who was standing next to Jiang Yinyin, thought that Lin Xuan was being polite to him. Immediately, his face was flushed with excitement, and he replied with a smile.
"Sword Saint is too polite, please sit down. Being away from home, the environment is simple, please don't mind, Sword Saint!"
"You're too kind, Lin Xuan only has a little bit of insight into the Sword Dao, I dare not accept the Sword Saint's Name!"
Lin Xuan nodded, then slowly walked to the bonfire, turned to look at Lin Dong, nodded to the latter, but did not speak.
When Lin Dong saw Lin Xuan turn his head to look, he quickly smiled and greeted him.
"Lin Dong greets the Young Clan Leader!"
"Mm!"
After nodding in response, Lin Xuan also turned to look at Jiang Yinyin, who was staring at him with a curious face, as for Jiang Xue, who had a face full of admiration, she was completely ignored.
