Chapter 1187: As Expected

he didn't know why.“Dragon Lion, it is the sacred beast of our Giant Stone Clan. The sacred beasts have disappeared from our Giant Stone Clan for thousands of years. I wonder, what is your relation w...“This Water Condensing Pearl Shell is truly effective. Even a water-element cultivator would likely struggle to achieve this level of concealment. Though it's a somewhat unconventional choice, and the price is incredibly high, it's a rare find indeed. It's usually unnecessary for most situations, but once you encounter the specific environment it's designed for, its capabilities are extraordinary.”

Lu Xiaitian did not truly disappear, but rather gained a layer of camouflage that perfectly blended with the water's color. His aura also dissolved completely within it. Even a Yuan Ying cultivator with higher cultivation than him would find it extremely difficult to detect anything amiss.

Through the Lingxi Conch, Lu Xia Tian knew that Luo Qian, Niu Kun, and Qiao Lan were on their way. Careful sailing for ten thousand years of a ship. Although Xiang Yi Hang had motives to cooperate with him, after all, both sides were enemies before they were friends. In contrast, Lu Xia Tian naturally trusted himself more with Luo Qian and the others. Qiao Lan had been in the early stage of Yuan Ying for many years, her foundation was solid and she was not far from the middle stage of Yuan Ying. The eight-legged demonic ox beast's origin was even more profound, its strength was not weak. Even Luo Qian, although his time in the Nascent Soul stage was shorter, his aptitude was very good, and he received the extraordinary Xuan Yang True Thunder which was quite remarkable. After going through several battles, life and death tempering, his strength also progressed by leaps and bounds.

In addition, after the previous ordeal, these few who had shared hardships and worked together had built trust in each other. Even if three opponents were stronger than them, if they lacked unity, it would be difficult for them to gain an advantage. As for Yu Ya's combat power, although she had made considerable progress in recent days, her foundation was too shallow. What Lu Xia Tian valued was her familiarity with the environment.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

After all, they were all people who had weathered storms. With these few people to intercept him halfway, Lu Xia Tian was confident that even if something unexpected happened, he would be able to retreat unscathed. Of course, if Xiang Yi Hang didn't play any tricks and cooperated sincerely, Luo Qian and the others wouldn't have to take action and would continue to lurk in the shadows as a reserve force.

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Xia Tian swam towards Xiang Yi Hang's direction.

After flying thousands of miles, Feiluh Lake is not without ten-tier water system monsters. However, the more intelligent water system monsters have already been cleared by the strongmen of Xiangdu. What remains are either relatively weak in strength or those with low intelligence.

As Lu XiaTian swam through the lake, he was careful to avoid any disturbances and didn't encounter any trouble.

However, Xiang Yihang's situation was different. He was still moving at high speed when suddenly a whip shadow struck down from the sky, transforming into thousands of green venomous bees that buzzed in swarms and flew towards Xiang Yihang.

"This is the poisonous bee whip that Lu Xiaoteng spoke of. It seems to be true, Lu Xiaoteng wasn't fooling himself. It's indeed a trap!" Xiang Yihang's eyes turned cold, his cloak behind him spread out, and a bone-chilling cold wind poured out from within. There was also fine snow in the cold wind. In an instant, within a radius of several miles, it had spread into a snowy domain. The green poisonous bee bodies that came into contact with the fine snow had a layer of faint ice crystals on their surface. Although they hadn't fallen yet, their flying speed had greatly decreased, making it difficult to pose any threat to Xiang Yihang again."

Just then, a staff shot down from the sky, aiming straight for Xiang Yihan's brow. The person who appeared was none other than the frail old crone, Yuan Lao Lao, whom Xiang Yihan had intended to assassinate.

A ghastly, ghostly ape burst out from the withered staff, snarling ferociously at Xiang Yihang. Xiang Yihang remained calm and collected, extending his palm toward the void. On his wrist, a crimson ring pulsed with the roars of monstrous beasts. The crimson ring suddenly expanded, enveloping the ghostly ape's head in a menacing wave.

The ghostly gibbon's face changed, and its thick arms shot up to grab the swiftly approaching red ring, preventing it from encircling itself.

"As expected of a prince among the illustrious peers of the Imperial House. " A cold, low, and cutting voice echoed from within the clouds.

"So it was a trap, carefully plotting to lure this king here. What's the purpose" Xiang Yihang effortlessly blocked Zhao Tongshan and Yuan Laoma's joint attack, remaining calm and collected as he inquired aloud.

“King Xuan, you have gone to great lengths to investigate us. What are your intentions” the old ape woman sneered with a cold smile. “I originally planned to strike at you later, but since you’re so eager, you've brought this upon yourself. After death, be a foolish ghost.”

“Do you two really think you can withstand me” Xiang Yi-hang said with disdain, “Don’t forget that we are not far from Xiangdu. Even if the two of you join forces, you won’t be able to defeat me. And even if you were truly stronger than me, I could leave whenever I wanted, and you wouldn’t be able to stop me.”

“This Prince Xuan has quite the air about him. I wonder what would happen if you add this old man to the mix” A wave of imposing pressure descended from the sky. In the hazy light, a face appeared – that of an old goat-bearded man. With a skeletal hand, he reached out into the void. What seemed miles away from Xiang Yihang just moments ago was now right in front of him, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

"Great Cultivator!" Xiang Yi-hang's expression changed drastically, but his reaction was quick. He pointed a finger and launched a purple, transparent orb the size of a sea bowl. Inside, an amber-like sphere held a slumbering purple-gold leopard head.

“Open!” The purple orb suddenly burst open, and the purplish-gold leopard let out a furious roar. Its jaws wide, it lunged at the mountain goat elder’s outstretched hand, the two immediately locking in a fierce struggle.

Item Yi Hang hesitated for a moment before plunging into the lake with a panicked expression.

A sly smile flickered in the eyes of Yuan Lao and Zhao Tongshan. Several people had set a trap, even dispatching major cultivators from their clan. How could they possibly let Xiang Yihang escape so easily Whether he tried to travel by air or water, Xiang Yihang was currently facing a dead end.

“Lu Xiong, have you arrived” Xiang Yihang’s voice was unusually anxious. With his strength, he would normally be able to hold his own against ordinary cultivators, and he wouldn't have been defeated so hastily. However, the gap in cultivation realm wasn't that easy to make up for. Although the twin arts allowed him to almost come back from the dead and share life and death with Wei Chi Yu, greatly increasing his strength, it was still not comparable to a Great Cultivator, let alone the fact that the Great Cultivator had two other powerful Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators.

However, to Xiang Yihang's surprise, his transmission went out without a single echo. Could that bastard surnamed Lu be messing with me Xiang Yihang's heart was suddenly filled with both shock and anger.

With enemies closing in from behind, Xiang Yihang had no escape. Gritting his teeth, he decided to dive into the water first, dodging their attacks and escaping their sight. Once he was out of their line of vision, he would use the Yinling Ding to get away safely.

Unexpectedly, as Xiang Yihang was not far from the surface of the water, a sapphire-blue orb suddenly shot out from the depths towards him. The sapphire-blue orb emitted a powerful blue light, blooming into streaks of blue light curtains. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped Xiang Yihang completely on all sides.

Item Yihang's complexion changed again. This azure bead posed no threat to him, but in his haste, he was caught by the opponent's scheme. He wanted to break free, but it wasn't so easy. Behind him, Zhao clan cultivators were attacking. Even a momentary delay could mean the difference between life and death. In this situation, how could Item Yihang not be anxious

“Prince Xuan, try out my new method of imprisoning water orbs.” A triumphant laugh echoed, and with a splash, a blue fish-skin man emerged from the water. The sapphire orb trembled again, releasing a large amount of light blue mist. The light blue mist swirled, resembling jellyfish, each with a ghastly green face on top. this, felt a tinge of displeasure." 。Che Da and Che Er wanted to scold her, how dare this ghost race woman speak to the master like that But seeing Lu Xiaoteng's face, not a trace of anger, they hel...
