“I’m not interested, you should find someone else!” Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and refused without hesitation.

This disappointed the two people who were looking forward to him agreeing. The white-robed scholar still did not give up: “Fellow Daoist, please consider it.”

“Say no more.”

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, not looking at the ugly complexion of the two, he turned into a light, and disappeared into the distance.

Quite a while later.

“What should we do next?”

The gentle and kind temperament disappeared from the white robe scholar’s face, and was replaced by a sullen expression, he said viciously: “I didn’t expect the fish not to be hooked. Damn it.”

“This kid is really cunning, but without him, the two of us are really not Master Yin Ghost’s opponent, the Mystic Fire God Pearl in his hands…” They seemed to be talking about something important, and the voice of the young woman in red was getting smaller and smaller.

“It’s fine, besides him, there will always be other fish hooked by the bait. The only problem is that we will have to wait a little longer.”

“Well, that can only be so.”

In the sky about a few dozen miles away, Lin Xuan showed a sneer on his face after hearing the conversation between the two.

I have always counted on myself when others scheme against me. Although both cultivators showed a deep hatred toward Master Yin Ghost, Lin Xuan still saw something fishy.

Taking advantage of the two being unprepared, Lin Xuan cast a small Magic spell on them and then flew away, but actually didn’t go that far.

“Mystic Fire God Pearl…”

Lin Xuan’s face showed a hint of contemplation.

He then took out a Hidden Spirit Pill, concealed his breath, and quietly sneaked back.

Lin Xuan found a Cave Mansion in a place not far from the two and practiced Qi meditation every day while quietly monitoring them.

In this way, ten days passed.

The couple waited for prey every day. Using the same lies to recruit helpers.

Of course, they don’t want everyone. Low Spiritual Power is useless. And those with high cultivation are difficult to control. In short, they wanted Foundation Establishment Initial Stage or Middle-Stage Cultivators.

Lin Xuan watched coldly, and finally decided to act after the couple had invited a total of three helpers.

Three cultivators, two men, and one woman were invited by them.

Among them, there is an old man in his fifties who’s in the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage. The two younger ones, a brother and sister, were from an Immortal Cultivation Family with the surname Fu.

Following them, Lin Xuan carefully concealed his tracks and flew for nearly a day.

Flying till the evening, the five people landed in a remote place.

It was in a mountain col. Surrounded by dozens of large or small peaks, where you can’t see the other side.

“Everyone, be careful, the Old Demon’s Cave Mansion is not far from here.” The white-robed scholar reminded them solemnly.

“I want the two Fellow Daoists to speak clearly, does Master Yin Ghost really have no helpers?”

The young man surnames Fu was a bit nervous, although he was greedy for treasures.

They were lured by the two people with honey-filled tongues, but when they arrived, they were a little scared. If they fall into the hands of their enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Fellow Daoists don’t need to worry, the old devil is extremely evil. He has always been accustomed to being alone. There will never be any helpers. It will be easy to kill him with the strength of the five of us. We couple only seek revenge. The treasures that he had collected, we will not take even one, and they will all be given to three Fellow Daoists.”

“Hmph, the treasures are only secondary. This old devil is a wicked person. We are just doing the will of the heavens.” The old man of fifty years old spoke righteously. Although his words were nice, his eyes flashed with hypocrisy.

The others were disdainful, but naturally, no one pointed it out.

“When shall we do it?”

“No rush, let’s rest for the night, the old devil is a Ghost Cultivator, his strength will increase by 30% at night, we will make a move at daytime.”

Everyone naturally had no objection, and Lin Xuan landed in a place far from the crowd, hiding his tracks and eavesdropping on the words of several people.

“They’ll take action tomorrow.” Lin Xuan sat down cross-legged and entered mediation.

The wind was calm and the night was fleeting.

After dawn, the five people led by the white-robed scholar moved towards a barren mountain on the left.

The mountain is about two thousand meters high, and the vegetation is sparse. From time to time, you could see the bones of some animals on the road, revealing a gloomy atmosphere.

“Eh?

“What’s wrong?” Hearing the exclamation, the five people hurriedly stopped to strengthen their guard. After scanning with their Spiritual Sense, they found nothing and couldn’t help but look at the girl with the surname Fu in confusion.

Fu Qian’s face blushed, and she said embarrassedly: “Nothing, I just think that the old Devil built his Cave Mansion here, but why are there no alarm restrictions around it.”

The others also showed puzzled expressions when they heard her.

“Oh, everyone, no need to be suspicious, because there are so many of the old devil’s enemies, it is not convenient to go to the market to buy the formation flag, and he himself is not familiar with the Formation Path.”

“So that’s it”

“That’s why he built the Cave Mansion in such a secluded location, and it took us  Daoist Couple a lot of effort to find it.”

When they listened, their suspicion was gone. The old man named Feng Yuan arrogantly waved his hand: “What are you waiting for? Let’s go and destroy that old devil.”

After speaking, he flew to the front, the others looked at each other and followed behind him.

After a while, a blue brilliance appeared, and the light dissipated, revealing an ordinary-looking young man.

Looking at the direction in which several people disappeared, Lin Xuan frowned slightly. He released the little ghost and whispered a few words.

Lin Yue’er nodded obediently, her figure gradually blurred, disappeared from the place, and Lin Xuan slowly followed.

After a while, the five people had approached Master Yin Ghost’s Cave Mansion, where yin wind blows and no grass grew.

“Who dares to break into this Cave Mansion?”

A voice came out from the front, with a strange power, which made people distraught.

“Be careful, this sound is one of the old devil’s secret techniques, everyone should protect their minds.”

The white-robed scholar quickly reminded them, his face showing a regretful expression. He originally wanted to sneak attack, but he did not expect Master Yin Ghost to be so alert.

Rumble, accompanied by the sound of thunder, a brilliance flew out from the cave in front, looking at the man in front of them, except for the couple, the other three showed a look of surprise.

Master Yin Ghost is notorious, and his evil acts have long been widely circulated in the Immortal World. He looked about thirty years old, holding a folding fan, he was quite handsome and wearing a Daoist robe, everyone couldn’t connect him with that sinister Yin Ghost.

“Everyone, don’t be fooled by this old demon. He is Master Yin Ghost. My husband and I have a deep hatred for him, and we’d recognize him even if he turned into ashes.”

The young woman in red gritted her teeth, she plucked a golden hairpin from her head. It swelled in the sky, turning into the length of three feet, and attacking Master Yin Ghost.

The others no longer hesitated. Everyone knew that people shouldn’t be judged by their appearance, and one after another, they released their own Spirit Tools.

“Hmph, looking for death!”

A sharp look flashed across Master Yin Ghost’s face, he opened his mouth, spitting out a small red fork, he then drew a seal with hands, and shouting: “Divide!”

Suddenly, the small fork split into two, from two into four, and from four it divided into eight, confronting everyone’s Spirit Tool, which surprised several cultivators.

“Don’t be afraid. The old devil’s spell is powerful. But its consumption of Spiritual Qi is great. As long as we work together, we can definitely kill him.”

“Yeah, my husband is right. With the five of us united, shouldn’t it be easy to kill a Demonic Cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage?” The young woman in red also opened her mouth to help on the side.

The Fu brother and sister and the old man surnamed Feng listened, and their spirits rose, they each spurred a Spirit spell to attack.

With a sneer on his face, Master Yin Ghost shook his shoulders and unleashed the folding fan in his hand. They saw the image of a lifeless Malicious Ghost with a single horn painted on it.

A Secret Art hit it, and the ghost on the folding fan suddenly came to life.

Its height is three feet, with a giant eye and a single horn, it looked hideous.

The young woman in red saw that it was not good, she acts first and then releases a Spirit Tool with the shape of a ring.

The ghost looked over fiercely, it opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a black mist. After the mist hit the ring, it suddenly lost its spirituality and dropped in place.

“Not good, it’s the remnant of a Shadow Fiend Ghost.”

Shadow Fiend Ghost, one of the most famous evil spirits in the Netherland, the favorite of the Ghost practitioners, because of the haze that these ghosts spew, which can contaminate the enemy’s Spirit Tools.

“Hmph, you have some knowledge.”

Master Yin Ghost had an indifferent expression as if he didn’t even care about the enemy in front of him.

“This ghost can’t be attacked with Spirit Tools. Everyone, use your spells to destroy it.”

The old man Feng Yuan seems to have seen this thing before, his complexion was pale, the others listened, and did not dare neglect, some circulated their Spiritual Qi, and others took out Talismans from their arms…

Rumble, for a while, all kinds of lights flashed wildly, and thunderous explosions ensued.

The two sides lively confronted each other. And no one noticed that a young man quietly approached.
