Chapter 1106: The Despairing Illusion Sea
"You..."
"You dare to target the Heavenly Nether Bird, are you not afraid to die?"
Zhao Xue was utterly shocked; she never expected that the other party would be even bolder than her, daring to target the Ancient Fierce Beasts.
This was no longer madness; it was purely courting death.!
"It's nothing, the greater the risk, the greater the profit. I think you understand this principle."
"Moreover, the Heavenly Nether Bird has been imprisoned for thousands of years, so I suspect it can't exert much of its own power."
"Besides, we don't intend to slay the Heavenly Nether Bird, just to gain some benefits from it, which I think should be considerably easier."
Lin Xuan said with a sly smile, "Of course, if you are unwilling, then forget it, I will find someone else. But if you agree, I can provide you with free protection, allowing you to quickly absorb the energy within the Dragon Ball."
After listening to Lin Xuan's entire plan, Zhao Xue remained silent, quickly contemplating in her mind.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile playing on his lips.
The reason Lin Xuan approached Zhao Xue was partly because she was an old friend. Although she had lost her memory now, subconsciously, Lin Xuan still wanted to collaborate with her.
Moreover, from the previous process of Zhao Xue seizing the Dragon Ball, he discovered her urgent need for power.
Mind you, the Blood Evil Qi within the Dragon Ball had a significant impact even on a Seventh Layer Venerable, yet Zhao Xue was resolute in seizing the Dragon Ball.
This alone was enough to indicate her yearning for power.
And now, before them was a power source far greater than the Dragon Ball, a temptation he doubted she could resist.
Sure enough, after contemplating for a moment, Zhao Xue quickly nodded and said in a deep voice, "Fine, I agree with you."
"However, if the Heavenly Nether Bird truly threatens my life one day, I will terminate our cooperation."
"Rest assured, I don't play with my life either." Lin Xuan shrugged.
Having decided to join forces, the two of them gathered once again to quickly discuss the matters ahead.
At this moment, the void rippled, and another figure appeared nearby.
The figure was the Seventh Layer Venerable from the Happy Forest, who had followed Lin Xuan and Zhao Xue out of the Undersea World.
In his perspective, Zhao Xue and Lin Xuan were unfamiliar with each other, merely partners, so once they left the Undersea World, they would definitely act separately.
By then, with Zhao Xue alone, he would have a chance to strike and seize what he wanted.
However, the scene before him was unexpected because the two had not separated but rather were gathered together, seemingly having a cordial conversation.
It appeared that their relationship was even closer than during their time in the Undersea City.
Instantly, his face turned extremely unpleasant,
he wasn't entirely confident in dealing with Zhao Xue, and now with the enigmatic and peculiar Lin Xuan added to the equation, it became even more complicated for him.
Although Lin Xuan's cultivation was far lower than his, the Sword Qi emitted by the latter, along with that crimson War Armor, left the Seventh Layer Venerable frowning deeply.
So, after a moment of struggle, the Seventh Layer Venerable sighed and turned to leave.
The appearance and departure of the Happy Forest's Seventh Layer Venerable did not escape the senses of Lin Xuan and Zhao Xue.
Lin Xuan squinted, his mouth slightly raised, while Zhao Xue snorted, "He ran fast!"
This voice carried a hint of anger, indicating that if the Seventh Layer Venerable had stayed, Zhao Xue might have immediately gone berserk.
Next, Lin Xuan and Zhao Xue chatted for a while longer, mostly Lin Xuan asking Zhao Xue questions, trying to know about her past experiences.
However, after listening, Lin Xuan displayed no expression, yet his heart was deeply solemn.
From the information he gathered, Zhao Xue had not only lost her memory but her previous memories seemed to have been tampered with by someone else.
"Could it be body seizing?" Lin Xuan sighed internally, seeking advice from the Dark Red Divine Dragon.
The Dark Red Divine Dragon cautiously transmitted, "Whether it's body seizing, I'm unsure, but judging by her appearance, it's definitely not some old monster."
"Moreover, it's quite challenging for the younger generation to succeed."
"Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility of an old monster helping from behind."
"It seems we'll need to wait and see." Lin Xuan didn't have any better solution.
As he pondered over Zhao Xue's situation, a large group of figures suddenly flew over from the distance.
"Brother Lin!"
Cries came from afar, prompting Lin Xuan to turn and look, discovering they were people from the Immortal Martial Academy.
Seeing these people, Lin Xuan quickly got up, tapping his foot, and dashed towards them.
"Elder Song, everyone, you need to leave quickly; I'm afraid the seal below won't hold much longer." Lin Xuan said swiftly.
The news was provided by Zero.
When he had learned about it, he had been extremely shocked, not expecting the underground seal to be damaged to such an extent, almost to the point of shattering.
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Elder Song and the others were deeply alarmed, and the disciples' faces turned pale.
"What about you? What's your plan next?"
Dugu Aotian looked at Lin Xuan and asked heavily.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't be joining you." Lin Xuan responded quickly, "Everyone, leave here immediately, or you risk losing your lives."
Having said that, Lin Xuan waved his hand and turned, leaving swiftly with Zhao Xue.
"What? Lin Xuan intends to act alone?"
"No way, he has such nerve, although he's formidable, acting alone in the Sky Secret Realm is much more dangerous."
"Ah, just leave it. Brother Lin is immensely mysterious; I suppose he wouldn't face any mortal danger."
"Yes, the danger is truly ours! If the Heavenly Nether Bird emerges, we're doomed!"
The crowd quickly discussed.
Elder Song also spoke gravely, "Let's get out of here immediately."
Everyone moved swiftly, dashing towards the distance.
Meanwhile, the martial artists from the Divine Bird Palace and Happy Forest also exited from the Undersea City, fleeing away.
Just after they had departed, the ocean behind them suddenly erupted.
In the ocean waters, a massive whirlpool appeared, from which waves of black flames surged out, instantly enveloping the entire sea.
The endless seawater evaporated, forming mist clouds, and massive black flame pillars as thick as mountains rose from the sea, connecting to the heavens and earth.
The entire ocean was shattered in an instant, and an extremely terrifying fierce and ferocious aura emanated from the depths of the sea.
In an instant, the entire Illusion Sea Zone, and even the surrounding areas, were shrouded in a terrifying Demon Energy.
The sect disciples who had just left trembled all over, staring in horror towards the back.
Especially the disciples from the Immortal Martial Academy, their hearts filled with terror.
Luckily, Lin Xuan had warned them in advance, urging them to leave quickly; otherwise, a moment's delay would have seen them pulverized by that terrifying aura.
Behind, countless cracks appeared in the ocean, with seawater gushing into the whirlpool, endless black flames rising, followed by a gigantic figure bursting out from the sea.
