Because of the emergence of the Ancient Tomb Mansion, Flame City, and even the entire Heavenly Capital County, had become turbulent.
The tomb of a Nirvana Realm expert was naturally extremely attractive, otherwise, the Four Great Clans wouldn't want to get a piece of the pie.
Even the Four Great Clans were like this, let alone the small forces in Heavenly Capital County.
As the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food. For cultivators, resources are the wealth they desire, especially when it comes to a tomb left by a powerful Nirvana Realm expert. Finding even a small amount of resources would be of immense help to them.
As time passed, this restless atmosphere became even more heated. Even many experts from outside Heavenly Capital County rushed over!
In the Lin Family's small courtyard.
"Buzz!"
Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and an invisible sword aura burst out from his eyes, eventually slowly dissipating into the air.
During these past half a month, he had Little Marten take action every two or three days. Now, Lin Xuan had made great progress in swordsmanship, especially in the way of the Killing Sword. To the point where Lin Xuan was still surrounded by a faint killing intent.
This was because his swordsmanship had improved too quickly in a short period of time, and he had not fully stabilized his realm, resulting in his inability to restrain it.
After concealing the energy within his body as much as possible, Lin Xuan left the small courtyard where he was staying, because today was the day to set off for the Sky Flame Mountain Range.
The Sky Flame Mountain Range was the number one mountain range in Heavenly Capital County, covering an extremely vast area, almost spanning the entire Heavenly Capital County. Its branches were connected to all the major cities in Heavenly Capital County, while the main vein was located between Flame City, Heavenly Capital City, and another large city.
With such a vast area, naturally, the Sky Flame Mountain Range also contained countless fierce Demon Spirits. In normal times, even some experts in Heavenly Capital County who made a living by hunting Demon Spirits would not dare to venture deep into the Sky Flame Mountain Range.
The vast mountains and forests, the countless Demon Spirits hidden within, among which there were even powerful Demon Spirits of the Creation Three Realms, as well as various poisonous miasmas, poisonous swamps, and so on, were all deadly threats.
However, in the face of a tomb left by a Nirvana Realm expert, these deadly threats seemed somewhat insignificant.
Flame City was quite a distance from the main vein of the Sky Flame Mountain Range. After traveling for a full day, Lin Xuan and his group finally arrived at the foot of the mountain range.
The next morning, when the morning light pierced through the mist covering the mountain range and shone on the Sky Flame Mountain Range through layers of branches and leaves, the Lin Clan's large team slowly moved forward.
Wu Tao glanced at Lin Xuan, who was walking at the very front and had remained silent, with a serious look in his eyes.
"Lin Dong, have Fire Python Tiger scout the flanks, and we'll proceed slowly."
Although they had a very detailed map provided by Myriad Gold Commerce, Wu Tao didn't dare to be careless. After all, they still had to rely on themselves along the way, so they couldn't afford to be careless.
Lin Dong didn't object upon hearing this. After nodding, he patted the Fire Python Tiger beside him.
Little Flame's aura was now quite impressive, already comparable to an expert at the Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm. Of course, this was also thanks to the many demon cores and Demon Spirit corpses that Lin Xuan had given him.
In the past half month, Little Marten had also taken action with all his strength several times. Lin Xuan didn't let him work for nothing. He went to the mountain range and killed two Qi Creation Realm Demon Spirits and one Creation Realm Demon Spirit to replenish Little Marten.
After all, without Demon Spirit for sacrifice, Little Marten's already depleted Demon Spirit couldn't withstand the energy required to use those Sky Demon Marten Clan Secret Technique.
And for Little Marten, he only needed the Demon Spirit, so the remaining demon cores and Demon Spirit corpses naturally all belonged to Little Flame.
With the help of the demon cores and the corpses of the Creation Three Realms Demon Spirits, Little Flame's strength had also greatly increased, already comparable to an expert at the Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm, and even not far from the first realm of the Creation Three Realms, the Shaping Realm.
Even the mutated bloodline within Little Flame's body had undergone some changes after absorbing the bloodlines of the Demon Spirits. His body was covered with a layer of dark black scales, making it even more difficult to be detected when traveling through the mountains and forests.
This was also the reason why Wu Tao asked Little Flame to scout on both sides. Little Flame's whereabouts were concealed enough, not easily detected, and he was fast, able to travel quickly.
Lin Xuan ignored Wu Tao's arrangements, simply walking at the very front, as if everything else was irrelevant to him.
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, Lin Dong, who was walking at the front of the group, also noticed something was wrong. With Little Flame's speed, it should have finished exploring and returned by now.
But it's been so long, and Lin Dong hasn't sensed Little Flame's aura entering his detection range.
"Elder Wu, something's not right. Little Flame has been gone for so long and hasn't returned!"
"Roar!!"
Just as Lin Dong finished speaking, a tiger's roar came from the distance, causing Lin Dong's expression to change slightly.
Even Wu Tao, who was standing at the very front, had a grim expression. After glancing at Lin Xuan, who had no reaction, he waved his hand and ordered.
"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"
"No need, it's coming back soon!"
But just then, Lin Xuan suddenly spoke.
Under Lin Xuan's mental perception, to their right front, a team was besieging Little Flame. A young man was commanding his subordinates to capture Little Flame.
Obviously, the young man must have seen how handsome Little Flame looked now and wanted to take it as a mount.
But obviously, that group of people underestimated Little Flame's strength. Although its main body is a Fire Python Tiger, the characteristics of demon beasts are inherently stronger than humans. Especially since Little Flame is a mutated bloodline, it has a thick layer of scales on its body surface, providing extremely high defense.
However, at first, Little Flame obviously didn't understand how strong the scales on its body, which came from the bloodline of a Creation Realm demon beast, were, so it was still a bit cautious.
But soon, after discovering that the only two at the Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm could hardly break through its defense, Little Flame also took advantage of the opponent's carelessness and directly ambushed and killed one of the Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm experts.
And after losing a Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm expert, the only remaining person was unable to support himself alone. Before long, he was slapped to death by Little Flame's paw.
The remaining people were even more unable to resist Little Flame's attack. By the time Lin Xuan spoke, Little Flame was already chasing down the few remaining people.
Before long, Little Flame, carrying a body of baleful aura, returned to the group.
