Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

In the sky, clusters of blue light rapidly surged forward. Compared to other Spirit Beasts, this wave of blue light was exceptionally fast.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived before them.

Within these blue lights, there were middle-aged cultivators dressed in blue robes and female cultivators in white dresses.

Seeing these figures, the group remained alert, as they were clearly Great Demons and Demon Kings in human form.

"Are you members of the Lin Family?" A graceful woman in a white dress at the forefront suddenly spoke.

"Naturally, we are of the Lin Family. What, are you seeking a fight today?" Lin Shijie's tone brimmed with confidence and intensity at this moment.

Of course, he wasn't going to strike first. Lin Shiming was in the midst of attaining enlightenment, and once he completed this, all problems would be swiftly resolved.

Unless the Cloud Jiao Demon Emperor showed up.

But if he did, the Jiuye True Monarch would surely be drawn into the fray.

Thus, the Lin Family had a certain degree of confidence in their position.

Even in the worst-case scenario, they could still maneuver their War Treasure Ship and escape into Taibai Sword Palace's minor world.

"Where is Lin Shiming? I want to settle old scores with him!" Bai Ling'er continued, her tone sharp.

Her aura as a Demon King was instantly unleashed, attempting to oppress the Lin Family members, but was easily neutralized by Lin Shijie's Sword Intent.

"What business do you have with my younger cousin?" Lin Shijie stood defiantly in front.

Seeing this, Bai Ling'er immediately summoned Spirit Light. Five tails flared out, and in an instant, dazzling white light surged toward Lin Shijie.

Behind Bai Ling'er stood a middle-aged Green Cloud Fox, also wielding Demon King-level power. He controlled a luminous pearl, though his opponent was Jiuxiao True Person.

Jiuxiao True Person had summoned countless Silver Snow Needles and condensed a few Soul-Suppressing Pagodas, holding nothing back.

In an instant, the battle began.

In the distance, two five-tailed Green Cloud Foxes emerged.

On the Lin Family's side, the Fifth Rank War Treasure Ship and True Person Xu Ye engaged a Demon King each.

The strength of the Qingyun Fox Clan was evident at this moment. Just the beast tide they stirred up featured four Demon Kings, all at the Golden Core Early Stage or Middle Stage—proof of the Qingyun Fox Clan's formidable foundation.

At this moment, Lin Shijie was visibly troubled. The white light flashed, and suddenly a desolate icy and snowy world appeared before him.

Endless icy storms swept toward him, yet they were blocked by his Five Flame Sword. He knew this was an illusionary realm, but dared not gamble on its authenticity. He had to defend against everything, and in doing so, fell entirely into Bai Ling'er's Minor Divine Ability.

He couldn't extricate himself.

At this moment, as a Sword Cultivator, he found his strength unusable, something Lin Shijie had never encountered before.

He cast the Soul Fusion Secret Tome and utilized the Soul Rending Art, but to no avail.

Not having yet condensed a Divine Will Weapon, he could only keep defending in the face of the illusion.

Meanwhile, Jiuxiao True Person occupied the upper hand. He summoned a variety of Magical Treasures, including Divine Soul-based treasures, giving him a clear advantage against the Qingyun Fox Clan.

Just as Bai Ling'er was about to triumph, a ray of light suddenly flashed across the sky.

Bai Ling'er retreated.

Yet in that moment, she realized that even as a Demon King, her speed was no match for that of a human cultivator.

The instantaneous movement was too fast, arriving before her in the blink of an eye.

A massive hand seemed capable of tearing apart the entire sky.

She could not escape, nor could she evade.

The dazzling starlight was powerful enough to penetrate everything.

But just then, a roar rang out.

"I beg Daoist Lin to spare my niece this once!" A voice echoed as a white-haired old man appeared in the distance.

The elder tread upon the void, his aura perfectly integrated with nature; he was clearly a Golden Core Late Stage Demon King.

His arrival made Lin Shiming's hand pause involuntarily.

Lin Shiming sensed a trace of danger emanating from the elder.

[Be cautious of the elder's incomplete Spiritual Treasure, the Taixuan Treasure Mirror!] A system prompt appeared, and Lin Shiming understood why he felt apprehension. Generally speaking, Spiritual Treasures were incredibly formidable.

Especially mirror-type Magical Treasures.

And this elder was not just a Golden Core Late Stage Demon King but seemed on the verge of breaking through to Demon Emperor.

Given his strength in showing up here, it indicated either his clan had another Golden Core Demon King approaching Demon Emperor status, or the demonic race was presently at a life-or-death juncture.

Evidently, this was not a life-or-death juncture.

At this moment, the others turned to Lin Shiming, their expressions filled with astonishment.

Lin Shijie had just emerged from the Minor Divine Ability illusion technique, his face dark and gloomy. For him, encountering trouble in his very first battle after breaking into the Golden Core stage was a bitter setback.

"Daoist Lin, you're truly extraordinary for reaching the Golden Core Middle Stage at such a young age. You're not far from the Late Stage, with the Great Dao within sight. Why not turn swords into plowshares?" The elder spoke with a warm smile.

Yet his gaze betrayed clear apprehension toward Lin Shiming.

Of course, he was more afraid of Lin Shiming slaying Bai Ling'er.

"Why the sarcasm? This is already the third time I've captured her. Every time, she attempts to harm me. Should I simply stand back and accept my fate? Where in this world is such a principle?" Lin Shiming shook his head.

He, too, couldn't fathom why Bai Ling'er persistently sought to entangle him.

"Daoist Lin, may I ask what it would take for you to spare my niece? Her father is currently breaking through to Demon Emperor status and is expected to succeed soon. Surely you wouldn't want to make enemies of the Demon King?" The white fox elder continued.

These words made Lin Shiming nod thoughtfully.

Not that he was truly concerned, but rather apprehensive about the elder's incomplete Spiritual Treasure.

After all, he was not alone here, and he didn't have his Qiu Xue Sword with him.

"Let's follow the usual arrangement. We're no strangers after all. I will keep her captive for three days, and then I'll let her go. Besides, our relocation is already set, so you need not worry about me going back on my word. All the mortals here are my clansmen, but let me be clear: if even one of my clansmen dies, I cannot guarantee her survival!"
