The other four Grand Elders also had darkened faces, but all remained silent, evidently helpless against this Cao Yu.

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er sighed softly. "Five Grand Elders, please go and arrange the dissemination of the news. I am a bit frustrated and need to be alone for a while!"

After the five Grand Elders had left, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er went straight into a secret chamber behind the council hall. Standing in the slightly dim secret chamber, her delicate face showed anger, her fair hands trembling slightly, clearly indicating her extreme fury.

Since childhood, she had been exceptionally talented and was the Princess of Great Xia. Later, she even became the Celestial Sect Saintess. In her decades of growth, she had never suffered such humiliation, never been ordered about arbitrarily, nor watched helplessly as her close ones were stripped of their lifespan!

If she hadn't known that Great Xia could not bear the consequences of dealing with Cao Yu, she would have long ago asked the Celestial Sect Leader and several Supreme Elders to join forces and kill him!

「Lin Residence.」

After hearing Cao Yu's orders to the Third Princess in the council hall, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but frown.

There truly seems to be a significant issue with the matter of the Immortal Cave Mansion... Actually, it made sense when he thought about it. How could it be so coincidental? An Immortal Cave Mansion appearing right after I gathered the Immortal Artifact, not to mention the rumors about an Immortal Corpse and Immortal Relics! This Cao Yu clearly wants to seize my Immortal Artifact, and now he has set up this trap to lure me in!

But how could he be so sure he can handle a Cultivator possessing an Immortal Artifact? Is it because he is a Ninth Layer Late Stage Cultivator? Or is it because the Immortal Sect Magical Artifact he possesses is exceptionally powerful? Or is it his Time Technique?

With these doubts, Lin Xuankong pondered for a moment before looking towards Linshui Pavilion again.

In the dark chamber of the council hall, Xiaoo Ying'Er repressed her fury deep within her heart. As she gradually calmed down, she planned to cultivate the Blood Bath Divine Skill.

Suddenly, her expression changed. She stood up, looking around in surprise because a voice had just appeared in her mind.

"Third Princess, no need to search. Mu Shiba is not nearby; I am using a Secret Technique to communicate with you from a distance!"

Astonishment and joy filled Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er's face. "Is that Mr. Mu? Is it really Mr. Mu? Mr. Mu, you are truly astonishing! Your voice isn't sounding in my ears but directly in my mind. This is clearly not the Sound Transmission Skill; this Secret Technique is incredibly magical!"

Lin Xuankong's voice sounded again, "Third Princess, I have something I wish to ask you!"

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er's lips curved into a smile. "It's been months since we last saw each other, Mr. Mu, and I've missed you. I have already refined the Profound Truth Jade Particles you secretly sent into four Tier-Seven Demon Prison Cages! With such powerful treasures, it will be much easier for the Great Xia Dynasty to deal with Demons and refine them into Spirit Puppets! Mr. Mu, you have helped me so much. I am deeply grateful and don't know how to repay you! If there's anything you wish to ask, please feel free. I will tell you everything I know!"

Lin Xuankong said, "Is it true that an Immortal Cave Mansion appeared in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range of Great Marsh Prefecture?"

Upon hearing this, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er's delicate face changed, and she fell silent. She bit her lip, pondered for a long while, and then finally made up her mind. "Mr. Mu, this matter is of great importance, and I originally shouldn't disclose it to you. However, you have helped me so much and saved my life multiple times; how could I deceive you! In truth, no Immortal Cave Mansion appeared in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range of Great Marsh Prefecture. Moreover, the Thick Earth and Geng Metal ore veins that had appeared there were already collected by ten Ninth Layer Late Stage disciples from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect who came to Great Marsh Prefecture! The five kinds of hazy auras appearing there are actually emitted by a large number of Five Elements Spiritual Objects carried by the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciples. The purpose is to attract many Cultivators and lure out the one who obtained the Immortal Artifact!"

Lin Xuankong couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart upon hearing this.

So it really was a damned trap! But are Immortal Sect disciples always this brazen? They actually used a large number of Five Elements Spiritual Objects, placed them in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range, and just let their auras diffuse freely? I still haven't obtained a Thick Earth Spiritual Object to advance, yet these Immortal Sect disciples not only possess Thick Earth Spiritual Objects but also many other Spiritual Objects... There truly is a vast difference between Immortals and mortals!

After pondering for a while, he continued to ask, "Since the Immortal Sect disciples placed a large number of Five Elements Spiritual Objects in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range, what about the Great Demons there?"

Xiaoo Ying'Er said, "After the ten disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect arrived in Great Marsh Prefecture, they went directly to the Sealing Demon Mountain Range to collect the ore veins and Spiritual Objects. Then, those ten Immortal Sect disciples used Magical Artifacts to drive away the five Tier Nine Great Demons there! Now, only some Low-Tier Demons controlled by the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect remain in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range!"

They drove away five Tier Nine Great Demons! The Immortal Sect disciples used Magical Artifacts?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong had some doubts. The Immortal Sect disciples used Magical Artifacts to drive away the Great Demons? Does this mean they didn't bring any Immortal Artifacts with them? Without Immortal Artifacts, where do they get the confidence to set up a trap for a Cultivator possessing an Immortal Artifact?

Xiaoo Ying'Er said, "The power of Immortal Artifacts is terrifying; even the Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty have very few. It's said that the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect possesses only one First Grade Treasure Seal Immortal Artifact. However, such a Grade-Entering Immortal Ultimate Treasure cannot be casually used by disciples! These Immortal Sect disciples are using Magical Artifacts whose might far surpasses Battle Armor! As for how to deal with the Cultivator who obtained the Immortal Artifact... The ten Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciples have set up a grand array called the Five Elements Extermination Array near the ore veins in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range, using some Profound Truth Jade and Magical Artifacts. It's said that this Five Elements Extermination Immortal Array can withstand dozens of attacks from an Immortal Artifact and block the full-powered attack of an Initial Tier Immortal. Moreover, once activated, it can unleash three attacks comparable in power to an Immortal Artifact! Cao Yu and those Immortal Sect disciples plan to use the lure of the Immortal Cave Mansion to attract that Cultivator. Then, they will use the Five Elements Extermination Immortal Array to kill him and seize the Immortal Artifact!"

Lin Xuankong frowned. "Aren't they afraid that the Cultivator who obtained the Immortal Artifact might be an Immortal?"

Xiaoo Ying'Er shook her head slightly. "According to Cao Yu, he personally observed the attack traces in Prison Dragon City and is very certain that the Cultivator using the Immortal Artifact has not reached the Immortal Realm. The Five Elements Extermination Immortal Array is said to be able to harm even an Initial Tier Immortal, so it can naturally deal with that Cultivator!"

Speaking of this, Xiaoo Ying'Er frowned. "Cao Yu is relying on the Immortal Sect's backing and his extremely insidious Time Technique to force me to send people everywhere to spread the news. Unfortunately, I, the dignified Third Princess of Great Xia, am being coerced and can only help the wicked do evil by assisting him in setting up this trap... I just hope that Cultivator doesn't fall for it!"

The Five Elements Extermination Immortal Array can harm even an Initial Tier Immortal! If I, a Sixth-Layer Perfection Cultivator, were to be attacked by the array... Thankfully, I possess the Demon Reflected Pupils of the Eight Gates Celestial Eye. Otherwise, if I rashly charged in, wouldn't I lose both my life and my weapon, perishing on the spot!

Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong felt a strong sense of crisis. Indeed, possessing a treasure makes an innocent man guilty. My life has long been coveted by both the Immortal Sects and Demon Sects!

"Mr. Mu, I am currently very troubled. If you have time, could you come to Linshui Pavilion for a discussion and offer me some advice?" Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong suddenly had an idea. "Third Princess, do you intend to deal with that Cao Yu?"

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er was slightly stunned, then quickly shook her head repeatedly. "Cao Yu is a True Disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Leader, extremely esteemed, and highly valued by the Immortal Sect. Moreover, as far as I know, these True Disciples all have Divine Soul Tokens left in the Immortal Sect. If he is killed, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect will immediately know of his demise. At that time, if the Immortal Sect Leader becomes enraged, the entire Great Xia Dynasty might be overthrown, and countless people would perish as a result! Though I deeply hate that arrogant Cao Yu, how would I dare to touch him? It's not just me; even my father and the Celestial Sect Leader, even the Fallen Crow Demon Sect and other Demon Sects of the Rakshasa Kingdom, wouldn't dare to kill this Cao Yu!"
