Chapter 1381: Chapter 1381: Fuyao Sect
Xu Nian never expected that he would meet him here.
Yes, the young man among the couple was indeed the same Ming Hai from Fuyao Sect.
At this moment, Ming Hai had already reached the early stage of the Profound Immortal Realm.
However, the woman’s cultivation was much higher, having reached the middle stage of Luoxian.
"What a narrow path for enemies," Xu Nian chuckled lightly in his heart.
Back in the Cultivation World, Ming Hai had repeatedly tried to kill him.
Xu Nian had never forgotten this enmity.
He just didn’t expect Ming Hai would also be dragged into this Immortal Extinguishing Mountain.
"Martial Uncle, what should we do? Are we never getting out of here?" Ming Hai was extremely anxious at this moment.
He had heard about the horrors of Xianjue Mountain.
Even an Immortal King who enters cannot think of leaving, let alone a Profound Immortal like him?
The young woman standing next to him frowned slightly, but her facial expression remained calm.
Xu Nian studied the woman.
He found that she was extremely beautiful, emanating a cool and aloof aura from head to toe.
However, from her eyes, he could see she was definitely not a simple character.
"Martial Uncle, what should we do?" Ming Hai became even more anxious when the woman didn’t respond.
"Shut up. Instead of complaining here, why not think of a solution," the woman immediately scolded.
Ming Hai quieted down after being reprimanded by the woman.
However, his gaze around still showed a sense of despair.
The woman then began to survey the surroundings.
Xu Nian was in no hurry to reveal himself.
He chose to stay hidden and observe the two.
There was plenty of time; no need to be hasty.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, an energy storm erupted once again.
Xu Nian immediately got ready.
Through Xu Nian’s research, he discovered that the Earth Attribute Law could withstand these terrifying energy fluctuations.
So Xu Nian directly activated the Black Hole Law, forming a powerful gravity field around himself.
"Boom!"
The energy wave struck the gravity field.
Instantly, most of it was neutralized.
When it reached Xu Nian, it was just within the range he could handle.
Xu Nian had studied this carefully.
At a certain distance, he could use this method to fend off such powerful energy waves, without having to hide in the misty forest every time.
However, the young couple wasn’t so fortunate.
"Pfft!"
Both spat blood violently, being knocked away.
The woman seemed to be more severely injured.
Because, in that instant, she chose to protect Ming Hai, shielding him from most of the energy.
This lucky chance allowed Ming Hai to survive.
"Martial Uncle, are you alright?" Ming Hai immediately ran to the woman’s side.
"I’m fine, I won’t die yet, but this energy storm is truly terrifying. If it happens again, I’ll be dead for sure," the woman looked toward the depths of the mountain range with a look of horror on her face.
"What should we do now?" Ming Hai was somewhat flustered.
If not even his Martial Uncle could withstand it, how could he, a mere Profound Immortal?
If it weren’t for his Martial Uncle’s intervention just now, he would be a dead man by now.
The woman shook her head, at a loss for what to do.
Xu Nian stood aside, sneering coldly.
This scene was exactly as he had anticipated.
Neither a Luoxian nor anyone else could withstand this terrifying energy storm.
"Do you two need help?" Xu Nian asked with a smile as he walked out.
"It’s you! How are you here?" Ming Hai looked at Xu Nian in shock.
He never imagined he would encounter Xu Nian here.
The woman, on the other hand, began to scrutinize Xu Nian with surprise.
"Why can’t I be here, Senior Ming Hai?" Xu Nian replied with a cold smile.
"Hmph, it seems you got caught up in this for the Immortal Crystal Stones, right? With your cultivation, coming in here is a dead end," Ming Hai said with a sneering smile.
His eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at Xu Nian.
How long had it been since Xu Nian ascended?
Even if taken in as a named disciple by an Immortal Emperor, how much progress could he possibly have made in such a short time?
"You know him?" The woman felt there was something unusual about Xu Nian, and asked Ming Hai.
"Of course. Wasn’t I dispatched by the sect to participate in the Immortal Order Competition in the Lower Realm? This guy here defeated our sect’s genius Jiang Shengtian and won first place in the competition, ultimately taken in as a named disciple by Shendang Mountain’s Taichu Immortal Emperor," Ming Hai replied with a disdainful laugh.
"It’s him?" The woman was slightly surprised.
She didn’t expect Xu Nian to have such a background.
"Yes, it seems he hasn’t ascended for long and hasn’t reached Shendang Mountain, otherwise, he wouldn’t be here. Unfortunately, he’ll never get out again," Ming Hai sneered.
The woman remained silent, focusing instead on closely scrutinizing Xu Nian.
Yet surprisingly, she couldn’t discern Xu Nian’s cultivation level.
"I think you may have forgotten something. Senior Ming Hai, I have three avatars. What you see before you is just one of them, while, senior, it seems you have no avatars," Xu Nian said with a smile.
With this, Ming Hai’s expression turned livid.
He’d completely forgotten about that.
Of all things, this guy actually had three avatars.
"An avatar? Can you communicate with your true body outside?" asked the woman anxiously.
"No, once I entered the misty forest, my soul was isolated," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
He didn’t feel any ill will towards the woman before him.
After all, not everyone in Fuyao Sect was a bad person.
"I’m Qin Ling, a disciple of Fuyao Sect," the woman introduced herself to Xu Nian.
"Xu Nian, a disciple of Shendang Mountain, though I haven’t ed in yet," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Why did you enter Xianjue Mountain?" Qin Ling asked.
"I came in searching for Taiqing Holy Water," Xu Nian answered.
"You came in voluntarily? Have you found it?" Qin Ling was somewhat surprised.
Both she and Ming Hai got unintentionally swept into it.
Who would have thought that the young man before them had actively chosen to come in?
Was he not afraid of being stuck here forever?
"No, the Taiqing Holy Water should be in a crevice deep within the mountains where there are large amounts of Immortal Crystal Stones, but unfortunately, energy storms erupt every fifteen minutes, making it impossible to explore further," Xu Nian explained.
Over the past six months, he had tried numerous times.
Every time he had just reached the deep canyon...
He would be driven back by the terrifying energy.
He simply couldn’t progress further.
"With your strength, there’s no way you’d reach the core of Xianjue Mountain," Ming Hai sneered with scorn.
Qin Ling shot a glare at Ming Hai.
Xu Nian had clearly come in before them, yet managed to survive till now...
This meant that Xu Nian’s strength was at least above hers.
It was ridiculous that Ming Hai couldn’t see this.
Xu Nian chuckled lightly, seemingly unfazed by Ming Hai’s disdain.
"Let me give you a piece of advice: the Earth Attribute Law can fend off the energy storms. If you don’t have the Earth Attribute, you’d better retreat into the misty forest before the storm hits," Xu Nian advised with a smile.
For the time being, he wasn’t inclined to have these two die.
After all, being alone here was quite dull.
