Among the four figures who caught up, a mid-integration stage old man spoke with resentment, then hurriedly greeted the Mahayana man, "We greet Lord Bing Li."
The moon-white robed man ignored them, but stared intently at the purple-skirted woman in the middle, and said coldly:
"Mid-integration stage, you have already surpassed the cultivation of your Seven Illusion Demon Fish clan's patriarch. It seems you have obtained our Dragon Clan's Illusion Dragon Pearl. Hand it over."
The purple-skirted woman was expressionless, secretly assessing her situation. Seeing that escape was difficult, she said:
"Senior Illusion Dragon was once willing to give the Dragon Pearl to us because he was disheartened with your Dragon Clan. Now you want to take it back? Don't even think about it. Also, now it's called the Seven Illusion Divine Pearl."
As she spoke, a crystal ball flashing with seven-colored light appeared in her hand.
The Mahayana man looked at the crystal ball, and a trace of greed flashed in his originally cold eyes. He snorted coldly, "So it really is in your hands. After I kill you, the Illusion Dragon Pearl will be mine too."
As the last word was uttered, he suddenly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the purple-skirted woman, his right hand flashing with white light as he grabbed towards her neck.
Poof!
The sound of shattered glass echoed. It turned out that the purple-skirted woman in front of him was just an illusion, and shattered with a bang under the grab.
The Mahayana man frowned and snorted coldly again. A surge of icy aura suddenly erupted from his body, spreading towards the surroundings.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
As the cold air spread, countless sea breezes carrying moisture within a radius of hundreds of miles instantly froze into ice crystals, transforming into a world of ice and snow.
A purple figure abruptly revealed itself.
"Hmph, found you." The Mahayana man snorted coldly and disappeared from the spot again.
On the other side, Lu Xin and the Fairy Baihua were no longer riding the Wind-Controlling Boat, but had switched to flying through the air. This was naturally proposed by the Fairy Baihua herself. After enjoying the sea breeze for a while, she had completely recovered her former self.
"At our speed, in a few days, we should be able to see the outer islands of the Star Luo Islands," Lu Xin said, closing the map and looking ahead.
Fairy Baihua frowned slightly, without saying a word.
"Is something wrong?" Lu Xin turned his head and asked, puzzled.
Fairy Baihua said, "I just scanned with my divine sense. Ten thousand miles to the left, there are people fighting."
"Fighting? Probably fighting over some treasure again." Lu Xin didn't care much. Such things were common in the cultivation world.
However, he still scanned with his divine sense as usual, and soon saw a familiar figure. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It's her!"
"Another one of your acquaintances?"
Fairy Baihua had already seen the situation in that area clearly. She was somewhat surprised by the number of acquaintances he had, as if he could meet them wherever he went.
She had only asked casually earlier.
"I suppose. Since we've encountered her, let's lend a hand."
Lu Xin nodded. The familiar figure was none other than Xu Shenmeng, with whom he had shared an experience. He didn't expect to meet her again upon returning to the East Sea.
Moreover, it seemed her situation was very precarious.
So, after leaving a sentence, he disappeared from the spot.
… …
"The Illusion Dragon Pearl is indeed extraordinary, but I refuse to believe I can't find your true form!"
The Mahayana man shattered another illusion, somewhat enraged. For a mid-integration stage cultivator to become so difficult to deal with in front of a Mahayana cultivator, he could find no other reason besides that seven-colored crystal ball.
Thinking of this, the greed in his eyes intensified.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Along with the Mahayana man's greed, an even colder air current descended. In the blink of an eye, within a radius of thousands of miles, it seemed to transform into an ice and snow cage.
Under the shroud of the cage, all living beings not only revealed their figures, but also found it difficult to move an inch. This naturally included the four who were with the Mahayana man.
"Lord Bing Li, we're still inside!"
The four were constantly being invaded by a cold aura, and were doing their best to resist.
However, the Mahayana man didn't even look at them, and strode towards Xu Shenmeng, who was struggling with all her might. He seemed to be strolling leisurely, but his speed was very fast, and he crossed the distance of thousands of miles in just a few breaths.
"Not good, he definitely intends to kill us all, and secretly take the Illusion Dragon Pearl!"
The four, who were doing their best to resist the invasion of the cold air, finally understood after seeing this scene and combining it with their previous conversation.
The old man with the highest cultivation in the mid-integration stage, said with an unsightly expression:
"This is his divine ability, the Frozen Seal. Even Mahayana experts would find it difficult to break free once trapped inside. We must attack with all our strength. Whether we live or die before he succeeds depends entirely on luck!"
"Alright!"
The four quickly reached a consensus, summoned their spiritual treasures, and wanted to break open the frozen space around them.
"Crack!"
Unexpectedly, the ice, which was even harder than deep-sea black iron, was shattered with one blow. The four were immediately overjoyed and worked even harder, quickly opening a passage and breaking free from the cage made of ice.
"What's going on? This is too easy, right?"
After coming out, the woman among the four was immediately a little unbelievable. The cold air that was about to freeze everything into fragments was definitely intended to kill them. She couldn't have felt it wrong.
"Don't worry about so much, first escape back to the palace and report to Lord Dragon Sovereign."
The four dared not stay any longer and fled quickly.
Higher in the sky, Lu Xin and Fairy Baihua stood silently on the clouds.
"Why did you help them?" Looking at the four who were fleeing, Fairy Baihua turned her head and asked in confusion.
"Their background is not small. Although I am not afraid, I don't want to cause trouble for no reason. It just so happened that they had internal strife, leaving a dead person to attract attention is just right."
Lu Xin casually explained, his sharp gaze already cast towards the early-Mahayana stage man. Suddenly, he pointed his finger, and the Hundred Treasure Gourd flew out. A torrent of spiritual treasures, like a Milky Way from the Nine Heavens, poured down.
Hearing this, Fairy Baihua had to admire his thoughtfulness. Despite his strength, it was rare for him to be so careful and cautious.
At this time, the early-Mahayana stage man had already discovered that the four people he had trapped and intended to kill had escaped. His expression couldn't help but change. He did have the idea of secretly taking the Illusion Dragon Pearl, but now the news was about to leak.
"Never mind, I must get the Illusion Dragon Pearl first!"
He hardened his heart and turned to look at Xu Shenmeng, whose body was already half-frozen, a cruel look in his eyes. "I originally planned to enjoy your beauty, but now, you can die for me!"
As he spoke, he summoned an ice staff and pointed it towards Xu Shenmeng's brow.
"In the end, I still can't take revenge?" Xu Shenmeng sighed, and suddenly her brow bulged. She actually wanted to self-destruct.
"Don't even think about it!" The early-Mahayana stage man's expression changed again, intending to speed up his attack.
However, at this moment, a loud booming sound came from above. The two couldn't help but look up, only to see a torrent composed of spiritual treasures instantly shatter the ice cage and fall towards them.
"This is?"
The early-Mahayana stage man's breathing stagnated. He wanted to dodge, but found that under the shroud of the torrent, the degree of stagnation of the space was actually higher than his Ice Seal.
Making it difficult for him to move even a bit.
"No!"
Seeing the torrent of spiritual treasures arrive in an instant, a burst of cold air suddenly rose from his body, condensing layers of ice in the sky above his head, wanting to block the fall of the torrent.
But it was only in vain. The torrent of spiritual treasures was like a Milky Way pouring down, with unparalleled power, instantly breaking through the layers of ice and then engulfing the man.
"Ah!"
