Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

The entire front of Heavenly River City had completely collapsed.

At this moment, Lin Xianzhi also felt somewhat powerless, for by charging too far ahead, he had become what the Heavenly Demon Sect regarded as a turtle in a jar. The two Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators were manageable—his swordsmanship strength was capable of dealing with them.

But now, there was also a Foundation Establishment Perfection stage demon cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Sect, and that was the old demon Chen Yunlai who had besieged Yunjing Mountain.

Chen Yunlai had clearly realized that Lin Xianzhi was the cultivator from that day.

Anger surged to the heavens, for if it had not been for Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming's Spirit Devouring Ants, not a single person on Yunjing Mountain could have broken through the combined effort of him and Golden Corpse Child.

Then they wouldn't have had to flee for their lives due to the leak of information, missing out on quite a few Superior Grade Spirit Stones.

The old demon's magic banner suddenly turned into a thirty-foot large banner, with demons surging within it. Just the Third Rank late-stage demons numbered five, with one Foundation Establishment Perfection demon, who all burst forth in an instant. A great gust of Yin wind arose, while evil light shot to the sky.

Even Lin Xianzhi, who had performed Sword Light Transformation and directly reversed his cultivation technique, couldn't quickly break out of the encirclement.

"My magic banner just lacks a sword cultivator demon head!" The old demon didn't waste any words and fiercely attacked Lin Xianzhi with his Heavenly Demon Banner.

Simultaneously, a gigantic black millstone appeared above him, pressing down directly onto Lin Xianzhi.

This black millstone was a top-notch Third Rank Supreme Grade magic artifact. As it pressed down, it was akin to Mount Tai descending, with its terrifying weight not to mention, it even caused Lin Xianzhi's True Yuan to scatter a bit.

With the demon heads closing in, Lin Xianzhi had to suddenly raise his hand, pushing the Renshui Geng Metal Art to its limit.

A life-snatching golden sword refinement slashed out, but it was blocked by the black millstone magic artifact. Countless streams of Sword Qi were ground to nothing by the millstone, leaving not a trace behind.

Lin Xianzhi had to resort to using the Spirit Talisman to face two Foundation Establishment late-stage demon cultivators and the old demon's Heavenly Demon Banner.

In an instant, his heart turned ashen. Previously, he had envisioned many scenarios of death, but he had not expected to one day die at the hands of a demon cultivator.

He had believed that thirty years of contemplating lotuses and practicing swordsmanship had brought him great enlightenment, and he feared neither life nor death. But at this moment, he found that his sword had not truly been unstoppable.

He was defeated, and his swordsmanship was defeated too!

In this moment, he suddenly wanted to turn back to look at Heavenly River City, to see if the hope of the Lin Family had emerged from seclusion, if there had been a breakthrough?

However, when he turned around, he saw a cultivator in a green robe, riding a Flying Sword.

"Shiming, what are you doing here? Run!" Lin Xianzhi was both overjoyed and furious.

The demon cultivators, on the other hand, found it amusing. A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator, what use was his coming? A single Foundation Establishment late-stage demon head could bite him to death!

However, in the next moment, Lin Shiming suddenly bowed his head, and from behind him came eighty-one Superior Grade Flying Swords. The sword lights were innumerable, and Sword Qi charged forth vehemently.

Not only was Lin Xianzhi stunned at this moment, but the other cultivators were also dumbfounded.

A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator was now controlling eighty-one Superior Grade Flying Swords simultaneously. Even for the old demon himself, that felt somewhat strenuous.

But at this moment, Lin Shiming managed to do so.

The eighty-one Superior Grade Flying Swords formed nine smaller Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Arrays, and those nine smaller arrays combined into a complete Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Array.

Sword Intent swept across in all directions, unceasing and vigorous, cleaving fiercely at the assembly of demons.

In an instant, the demon heads of the two Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators were directly shattered, dissipating into black smoke. Only the Foundation Establishment Perfection demon head of the old demon kept its bloodied mouth open, struggling to hold on.

"Seventh Great Uncle, retreat, my True Yuan can't hold out any longer!" Lin Shiming transmitted his voice urgently.

Lin Xianzhi also understood instantly. The epiphany he had just now even made his Sword Intent more fierce by threefold.

The Renshui Geng Metal Art was pushed to its limit, effectively blocking the millstone Magic Artifact of old Chen the demon.

In an instant, sparks scattered all over the black millstone, like a persistent shower of light rain.

The Demon Cultivators wanted to pursue further but found that Lin Xianzhi had already reached Lin Shiming's Supreme Grade Third Rank Spirit Boat, and in a blink, they were flying towards Heavenly River City.

Two late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators violently threw out Xue Sha beads, aiming to explode them right at Lin Shiming.

But at that very moment, Lin Shiming charged out, heading straight for the Xue Sha beads.

"Shiming!" Lin Xianzhi shouted urgently, astounded by Shiming's action. Even if he had to cover the retreat, it should have been him instead.

"Seventh Great Uncle, I'm still here!" However, the next moment, from nearby, Shiming's voice came again, and the figure that had charged ahead turned out to be a decoy strawman, which was engulfed by the Xue Sha Thunder.

This item was indeed a decoy strawman that Lin Shiming had snatched from a Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivator, and now, it had served its enough purpose.

Old Chen the demon wanted to make a move again and took out a long spear Magic Artifact, shooting it fiercely.

At the same time, Xie An also flew over. As the rear guard, he too was ready to retreat. He did not expect to see Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming, and even more so, Shiming's mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level and that astonishing Sword Array!

He too struck with a single sword, surrounding himself with innumerable purple lights, extending into a sword glow thirty feet long, effectively blocking the spear.

The three of them immediately took seats on the Spirit Boat and made a fled.

While fleeing, Lin Shiming also quickly handed Lin Xianzhi a Superior Grade Spirit Stone and, upon seeing Xie An there, he also took out another Superior Grade Spirit Stone for him.

He made such a move out of necessity; the eighty-one Superior Grade Magic Swords were immensely draining on his True Yuan. That sword, which had just formed the Sword Array, had not only depleted a great deal of his True Yuan but also a significant portion of the additional True Yuan in his auxiliary Spirit Platform.

At such a critical time, if he was without True Yuan, he was simply courting death.

And as for the Seventh Great Uncle, he was nearly exhausted, desperately in need of True Yuan. As for elixirs that restored Spiritual Energy, they could not compare to the purity of a Superior Grade Spirit Stone.

Given Xie An's arrival, also protecting them, naturally, he couldn't not give him one either.

Thankfully, these Superior Grade Spirit Stones came from Heavenly River State, within the territory of the Spirit Beast Sect, having nothing to do with Qingxuan Sect, and as long as Xie An used the Superior Grade Spirit Stone, Shiming wasn't worried about being betrayed.

Moreover, at this moment, he had no choice!

Xie An took the Superior Grade Spirit Stone with some surprise, but after glancing at it, he did not speak further and began to absorb it directly.

This was not a time for idle talk; with Heavenly River City fallen, the entire Heavenly River State would no longer be safe. Now it was the Zi Xuan Hermits holding them off, but once they too began to flee, that would truly be a nightmare.

And there was no point in thinking about hiding within Heavenly River State. With a single sweep of a Golden Core Demon Cultivator's Divine Sense, no cultivator could hide.

In truth, the relationship between Xie An and the Lin Family was slightly better than that between Zi Xuan Hermit and the Lin Family, after all, in recent years, he indeed had been openly looking after the Lin Family.

Lin Xianzhi immediately began to recover his True Yuan, becoming less surprised by Lin Shiming. Over the years, the surprises and unexpected moments provided by Shiming had gradually numbed him.

Seeing both of them in meditation, Lin Shiming also released the Red-haired Demon Monkey, letting it stay on alert aboard the Spirit Boat.

At this time, Heavenly River City had completely fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Sect and Corpse Refining Sect, with the Demon Slaying Tower turning into a demon's den.

The city's fall was too sudden to salvage its treasures.

It was likely that the Fourth Rank treasures were swiftly collected, but as for the Third and Second Rank treasures, many were probably looted.

"Shiming, stick this Spirit Talisman onto you!" Xie An then took out a Green Spirit Talisman and handed it to Lin Shiming.

This immediately delighted Lin Shiming; the talisman was a Superior Grade Third Rank Wind Escape Talisman, and when affixed to a Supreme Grade Third Rank Spirit Boat, it greatly increased their escape speed!
