Chapter 1712: Ancient Mystery, Zixia

"It's her…" Wang Lin's mouth curled into a cold sneer, his eyes filled with killing intent.

The vortex showed signs of dissipating after a moment, and the blurry figure within it also became clear. This person was a woman, dressed in a purple long gown, with flowing black hair, appearing extremely beautiful. If a Mortal were to see her, they would surely be captivated.

Even Cultivators would often feel a strong desire, contemplating taking this woman as their Cauldron.

This woman was precisely Zixia of Zhao River, and also Immortal Venerable Seven-Colored's Seventh Consort! Unlike her other Immortal Consort sisters, this woman was extremely loyal to Immortal Venerable Seven-Colored. Back then, she even reprimanded Wang Lin, and if not for her apprehension about Wang Lin's Li Guang Bow, she would have harbored killing intent upon realizing that Wang Lin's thoughts were not aligned with hers.

This woman's cultivation was not weak; before Wang Lin comprehended the Restriction Origin, he would have struggled somewhat in battle with her. However, with the Li Guang Bow in hand, she was also extremely wary of him. But now that his Restriction Origin existed, and his Dao Ancient Legacy was much stronger than before, coupled with Ye Mo's right hand and the unexpected utilization of the rules of this place, the situation had completely reversed. Even without using the Li Guang Bow, Wang Lin had the power to kill this Immortal Consort!

"Senior Qing Lin once said that the Heaven-Avoiding Coffin was this woman's item back then… This woman is an Immortal Consort, she must know some secrets of this place…" Wang Lin narrowed his eyes, raised his right hand, and waved it forward. Immediately, the Blood Sword whistled as it shot out, and Wang Lin's figure flickered and disappeared.

The Blood Sword, contrary to its usual silent nature, now whistled with earth-shattering force, its sound sharp and piercing. It tore through the air, covering ten thousand li in an instant, heading straight for the figure that was gradually becoming clear after the vortex dissipated.

This violent whistling could stir one's mind, making people subconsciously choose to retreat a few steps!

But Zixia did not retreat. Almost as soon as the figure became clear before her eyes, she immediately felt a monstrous killing intent rushing towards her. A roaring echoed in her ears, and she saw the whistling Blood Sword approaching.

Her expression changed, and a surge of Evil Qi rose!

"So he's here!" She stood motionless, her right hand raised, and immediately a vast expanse of purple mist appeared. As the mist writhed, it instantly transformed into a purple Phoenix, which shrieked and flew straight towards the Blood Sword.

The moment the purple Phoenix and the Blood Sword collided, a sudden roar erupted, reverberating monstrously, causing the starry sky to seem to tremble, and even collapse. Large swathes of cracks were directly torn open, appearing within this Star Domain.

The purple Phoenix collapsed, but the Blood Sword also could not advance, it rolled back and spun. The dissipating vortex behind Zixia immediately reappeared. She knew that Wang Lin had used the Li Guang Bow several times, but she didn't know if he had any strength left. Hesitating at this moment, she raised her right hand, and a Jade Slip immediately appeared. She was about to choose to leave, send a message, and attract people here.

She also knew about Wang Lin's Body Fixing Art, so before taking out the Jade Slip, she chose to leave first, causing the vortex to appear. With this vortex leading to another Remnant Realm, the effect of the Body Fixing Art would be hindered, and with her high cultivation, she could resist!

This woman was very cunning and extremely cautious, rarely taking risks easily.

But just as she was about to crush the Jade Slip, Wang Lin's figure materialized in the distance, and his voice echoed through the starry sky.

"As expected of Immortal Venerable Seven-Colored's most favored Seventh Consort…" Wang Lin slowly spoke after appearing. His words were very abrupt, but Zixia understood.

Wang Lin had previously noticed that the other party had never taken a single step, standing motionless from beginning to end. This extremely strange behavior was enough to indicate that this woman not only knew about the Three Hundred Remnant Realms but also understood that there were rule changes here!

But all rules, as long as she did not take a step, would not affect her. However, once she took that step, she would be completely integrated into this realm and enveloped by the rules.

Wang Lin naturally understood this point.

Zixia also knew, even more than the other consorts. Thus, she had visited more than ten Remnant Realms, always entering and remaining motionless, sweeping with her Divine Sense to attract people.

"Since you want to leave, I, Wang, will not see you off!" Wang Lin glanced at Zixia, who was holding the Jade Slip, and turned to walk away, his heart filled with gloom. Earlier, that Disciple of Seven Dao Sect had taken out an incense stick intending to light it, and now this Zixia had taken out a Jade Slip. Clearly, these people had reached some kind of agreement upon entering this place.

In this way, this matter was a bit difficult to handle!

"This Zixia is too cautious. If she chooses to leave, with her cultivation, I won't be able to keep her for long… However, setting aside whether this communication Jade Slip is for Immortal Venerable Seven-Colored or Old Ghost Zhan, her words back then seemed very loyal to Immortal Venerable Seven-Colored, and she had some connection with the Four Great War Generals… Thus, it's also possible she's sending a message to the Four Great War Generals!

But even if it's Immortal Venerable Seven-Colored or Old Ghost Zhan, it doesn't matter; it's possible to encounter them here, and I'm prepared. It's just that Zixia is so cautious; if I can't kill her this time, she'll be even more vigilant later, and it will be harder to kill her… As for the Li Guang Bow, now is not the time to use it." Wang Lin's heart stirred. His departing back at this moment seemed a bit hurried, but he concealed it in an instant.

He also raised his right hand and waved it backward, and immediately the Blood Sword silently approached him and then moved away.

Seeing Wang Lin already far away, his figure about to disappear, Zixia in the vortex hesitated again. She held the Jade Slip, unsure whether to send the message.

"This Wang Lin has the Li Guang Bow, but he clearly saw my communication Jade Slip yet still chose not to take it out, instead leaving immediately… His figure seemed subtly hurried… Could it be that before me, he had fought someone and sustained injuries…? And just now, he only attacked with a Flying Sword, never personally making a move from beginning to end. Most importantly, the whistling sound of that sword was too loud, seemingly more deterrent than its actual attack… It's more like trying to scare someone away… Could it be that he is severely injured and weak right now, unable to use the Li Guang Bow, and my departure is precisely within his calculations! If I send a message with the Jade Slip, and things truly are as I suspect, then after the Four Great War Generals arrive and steal the third soul for nothing, I will definitely be unwilling!

It's just that this person is cunning and devious. Is he truly injured, or is it a feigned injury…?" Zixia's expression changed, still unable to make up her mind. Seeing Wang Lin's figure about to dissipate, he once again revealed that hint of hurriedness, quickly hidden, like an unconscious physical reaction when an injury is suppressed.

"If he is truly injured, now is a rare good opportunity! If I can kill him and obtain the third soul, whether I offer it to Daoist Seven-Colored or Old Ghost Zhan, it will be a great merit, and I will have protection in the Immortal Astral Continent in the future…" Zixia gritted her silver teeth, just as she was about to give up leaving and choose to pursue, she hesitated again. She raised her right hand and suddenly waved it forward. Immediately, purple mist permeated the area, and a purple Flying Sword instantly appeared out of thin air, buzzing as it shot towards Wang Lin ahead.

"Let's try again! If he acts too obviously, then there must be a trick!" Zixia's eyes flickered, staring intently ahead.

The purple Flying Sword was extremely fast, whistling as it shot towards Wang Lin, reaching within a hundred zhang behind him in an instant. Wang Lin suddenly turned, his eyes flashing with cold light. He raised his right hand, his index finger quickly rising, and at the moment the purple Flying Sword, carrying a hint of Empty Profound cultivation, approached, he pointed a finger at the tip of the sword.

The moment he pointed at the tip of the sword, Wang Lin's mind raced. He abandoned the pretense of being injured and instead unleashed his cultivation with a roar. Apart from the seventh Restriction, the other six Origins simultaneously burst forth, encircling his body. This fierce eruption integrated into his right index finger, forming a violent, thunderous roar.

Under this tremendous roar, the Flying Sword trembled and shattered, transforming into purple mist that rolled back. Wang Lin's body swayed but did not retreat half a step, staring at Zixia who was looking at him from a distance, his eyes revealing killing intent.

His six Origins encircled his body, his Aura like a rainbow, showing no signs of injury. After staring at Zixia for several breaths, Wang Lin sneered and turned to leave.

Zixia, within the vortex, her eyes shone brightly.

"He's injured!! And it's definitely not a minor injury, otherwise, if he were feigning, he would definitely appear even weaker to lure me out!

But he didn't. Instead, he displayed his full cultivation, clearly trying to conceal the truth of his injury, hoping to deceive me with this. Only truly injured people, those worried about having their weaknesses exposed, would act this way!"

Especially when she saw a vortex subtly appearing around Wang Lin's departing figure in the distance, clearly an act to leave this realm, her heart became even more certain!

"There's no mistake! Wang Lin, this time you can't escape! Everyone says you're as cunning as a fox, but this time you've still shown your hand!" Zixia put away the Jade Slip, no longer sending messages, her eyes filled with greed. Fearing that Wang Lin would escape if she was slow, she instantly flickered and stepped out of the vortex without hesitation!

As she stepped out, the vortex dissipated, meaning she had completely given up on leaving!

But the moment she took that step, her body suddenly plummeted downwards. This sudden change caused Zixia's expression to drastically change!

"Not good!!"

Just then, Wang Lin in the distance suddenly turned around, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. His body instantly arrived, and a monstrous blood-red light rose, transforming into a long rainbow that shot straight towards Zixia!

All of this happened in an instant, giving Zixia, who had left the vortex, no chance to react. She didn't even have time to retrieve her Jade Slip again before the Blood Sword pressed directly towards her glabella!

In her pupils, Wang Lin's figure filled everything!

A blood arrow sprayed from Zixia's chest, staining her purple dress. It didn't appear red, but a patch of black! Within the torn clothing, alluring skin was faintly revealed, making one's heart pound! —
