Chapter 345: Is This Person’s Appearance Actually Fake?

In the Sand Snake Desert, Lin Xun sat on the handkerchief Mo Wenwen had given him, rushing toward the desert’s exit.

Behind Lin Xun, Xia Xiaomeng and the Yin-Yang School’s Lesser Minister of Fate were in hot pursuit.

The speed of the Sand Jiao, who had transformed into a little loli, was not slow either.

Moreover, since this Sand Snake Desert was her home turf, the Sand Jiao named Sha Shuang controlled the shifting sands as she flew, slowing down Lin Xun’s flight speed.

But every sand dune or sand wall that appeared before Lin Xun was dispersed by a single strike of his spear.

The Lesser Minister of Fate performed hand seals, causing vines to grow wildly beneath Lin Xun’s feet, determined to trap him firmly.

Yet another spear strike swept through, the black spear light clearing everything away.

The lush green vines actually began to wither.

Just as Lin Xun was about to completely shake off Xia Xiaomeng’s group, he discovered a long river flowing past him.

The river water was born out of thin air, and a biting cold air emanated from it, pressing in on him.

Cold Yin River.

One of the Yin-Yang School’s supreme Secret Techniques. Legend says that when practiced to the highest Realm, it can turn water into ice and freeze time.

Lin Xun clearly felt the flow of time around him slow down significantly.

Behind him, Sister Mimi and the other two were constantly closing in.

Feeling the Dao rhyme of this Cold Yin River, the corners of Lin Xun’s mouth curled slightly; he was actually somewhat happy.

Lin Xun knew very little about the Immortal Emperor Body.

He was actually quite confused about much of Xia Xiaomeng’s cultivation.

And although Sister Mimi could cultivate with the help of the mountain and river dragon destiny…

Lin Xun knew that as the ruler of a nation, the government affairs Sister Mimi had to handle daily must pile up like mountains. She couldn’t spend one or two months, or even a hundred days, in seclusion like other Cultivators.

So, Lin Xun was actually quite worried about Sister Mimi’s cultivation.

Especially the faster Sister Mimi’s Realm rose, the more worried Lin Xun became.

A Realm isn’t necessarily better just because it’s reached quickly; more importantly, it needs to be solidified.

Otherwise, when it comes time to attain the Dao in the future, it will definitely be greatly affected.

But now, seeing that Sister Mimi could use the Cold Yin River with her strength at the Golden Core Realm…

And that this Cold Yin River already faintly hinted at involving the Law of time, Lin Xun felt he no longer needed to worry at all.

Lin Xun believed that as long as he protected Sister Mimi until she successfully reached the Jade Purity Realm, she wouldn’t even need to reach the Immortal Realm.

By then, even if Sister Mimi’s Immortal Emperor Body was exposed and he wasn’t by her side, it wouldn’t matter.

Even against an Ascension Realm Cultivator, as long as Sister Mimi wanted to leave, no one would dare stop her.

Perhaps this was the confidence provided by the Immortal Emperor Body.

While Lin Xun’s thoughts were wandering, Xia Xiaomeng’s group of three had already caught up, being no more than two hundred meters away from him!

“Forget it, better run quickly. The longer I stay, the more I’ll expose myself.”

Lin Xun slashed out a Spear Qi, and that Cold Yin River was severed by his spear.

With the Spell broken, Xia Xiaomeng’s expression froze slightly.

Just as Xia Xiaomeng formed hand seals with her slender hands, intending to use the Daoist School’s supreme Secret Technique ‘Butterfly Transformation,’ Lin Xun turned around and unleashed another spear strike.

In the sky, black flames ignited out of thin air, separating Lin Xun from Xia Xiaomeng’s group.

Xia Xiaomeng’s group stopped.

Lin Xun turned to glance at Sister Mimi, and the two looked at each other through the black fire.

Turning again, Lin Xun disappeared into the distance.

Sha Shuang, separated by the black fire, bared her teeth and let out a low growl.

Ten breaths later, the black fire vanished.

The Lesser Minister of Fate and Sha Shuang wanted to continue the pursuit, but they were held back by Xia Xiaomeng.

“There’s no need.”

Looking in the direction Lin Xun had left, Xia Xiaomeng shook her head.

“Actually, we were probably the ones who interrupted his hunt. He said we saved his life, but in reality, we likely saved Sha Shuang’s life.”

But who exactly was this person?

Since his strength was so great, why did he still need to disguise himself?

It was highly likely that even the three of them combined couldn’t beat him, so why did he run away?

And he seemed quite afraid of her?

Xia Xiaomeng couldn’t quite figure it out.

While Xia Xiaomeng was lost in thought, the Lesser Minister of Fate beside her flicked her finger, and a fallen leaf floated before Xia Xiaomeng.

Catching the leaf, Xia Xiaomeng looked at the purple-haired girl beside her in surprise:

“Are you saying that this person’s appearance is actually fake?”

After shaking off Sister Mimi, Lin Xun left the Sand Snake Desert; everything went extremely smoothly.

But Lin Xun knew this wasn’t the end.

If nothing unexpected happened, it wouldn’t be long before he met Sister Mimi again under the rootless tree.

And not just Sister Mimi—Jiang Qingshang, Wang Xing, and the others would all be coming.

Lin Xun didn’t know exactly how many rootless fruits there were in the Rootless Secret Realm this time.

But even according to the maximum yield of the past, there would be six at most.

That certainly wouldn’t be enough.

If it wasn’t enough, they would fight for them.

With so many people competing, a fight was inevitable.

It would be fine if it were anyone else, but how could he possibly raise a hand against Sister Mimi and the others?

“Forget it, I’ll deal with it when the time comes. I should hurry over and get them first; maybe I can avoid Sister Mimi and the others that way.”

Lin Xun quickened his pace.

As for Wang Chen and Luoxue, who had been separated in the Sand Snake Desert, Lin Xun wasn’t worried at all; they would have absolutely no problem protecting themselves.

Lin Xun stood at the edge of the Sand Snake Desert and looked ahead.

Before Lin Xun was a world of ice and snow.

The Ice Dragon Plain and the Sand Snake Desert.

There was no transitional terrain between the two.

They were like two floorboards joined together.

The boundary between them was like the gap where two wooden boards meet.

However, this gap was so long that Lin Xun couldn’t see the end of it.

Stepping into the Ice Dragon Plain, this was Lin Xun’s final destination.

Just a moment ago, it was so hot that Lin Xun’s back was sweating.

Now, it was a bone-chilling cold.

But it would all be over soon; as soon as he got the rootless fruit, everything would be settled!

Taking a deep breath of the cold air, Lin Xun stepped forward.

On the second day after Lin Xun left the Sand Snake Desert, people began to arrive at the desert’s edge one after another.

Looking at the vast ice plain, they all exhaled a breath of cold air.

Wang Chen and Bai Luoxue exchanged a look and moved forward together.

Jiang Qingshang gazed at the giant rootless tree in the center of the ice plain, which seemed to prop up the sky, and her eyes narrowed.

Beside Jiang Qingshang, Sikong Wangxing’s thoughts were drifting—had Big Brother Lin also headed to that place?

Xia Xiaomeng stepped out; the Ice Dragon Plain actually resonated faintly with the mountain and river Luck on the girl’s body!

In the center of the Ice Dragon Plain, on that rootless tree that supported heaven and earth…

There were a total of two rootless fruits.

They emitted a crystal-clear luster.

【Looks like I need to save up some drafts. It’s really tough without them, like racing against a deadline every day.】
