Chapter 40: The Cunning Master Xuan

Hearing the urgency in Yao Lao's voice, Xiao Yan did not hesitate at all. After searching the surroundings, he headed towards the grove next to him, and finally his figure completely disappeared in the lush green shade.

Xiao Yan rushed into the lush forest and hid in a secluded area, but his eyes were looking towards the direction of Sea God Lake through the branches.

Shortly after Xiao Yan's figure was completely hidden, a few subtle sounds of breaking wind were heard on the surface of Sea God Lake. Immediately, a series of figures rushed out from the depths of Sea God Lake and reached the shore in the blink of an eye.

The leader was an old man, his body was greasy, his hair was disheveled, and he wore a gray-brown robe. He held a chicken leg in his left hand and a wine gourd in his right hand. He was eating the chicken leg and drinking wine at the same time. It was the Taotie Douluo Xuan Lao.

Behind him were an old man in white and an old man in green. The old man in white was quite handsome, with a little beard, and wore a white cloak with some white feathers on the top, and a phoenix tattooed on his chest.

"Master Xuan, it's not good. Xiaotao's evil fire has erupted again." The old man in white suddenly took a step in the air, as if traveling through space, and came directly in front of the woman in red. With a wave of his hands, the latter's body floated up.

Waving his hand casually, Xuan Lao said calmly: "Shao Zhe, there is no need to panic. She should have just fainted and was not hurt."

The old man in white is the current dean of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe, whose martial soul is the Phoenix of Light, a level 95 powerful attack titled Douluo, and one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. The old man in green robe next to him is also one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, Mr. Zhuang, whose martial soul is the Tree of Life, and a level 95 healing titled Douluo.

"Mr. Zhuang, please help me with the treatment." Holding the woman in red in his arms, Yan Shaozhe asked the old man in green robe beside him.

"Yeah." Nodding, Mr. Zhuang hurried forward and took the woman in red from Yan Shaozhe's hands.

As nine soul rings, two yellow, two purple and five black, circled up from under Mr. Zhuang's feet, circles of green light surrounded the body of the woman in red and then a magical scene appeared. It could be vaguely seen that the vegetation around the Sea God Lake was emitting green light, which then began to flow into her body.

"It's strange, why do I feel a breath of ice attribute here? But this breath seems different from the last ice breath." Old Xuan frowned slightly, as if there was something he couldn't figure out.

"Could it be that the person who sneaked into the academy last time and froze Zhou Yi appeared here just now? No, this ice-attributed aura is not right..."

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe turned his head to look at Elder Xuan, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Elder Xuan, what are you talking about? What ice attribute aura?"

Elder Xuan swallowed the chicken that had already entered his mouth and explained, "Do you still remember the first-level student who fought with Zhou Yi not long ago? I don't know what happened at that time. Zhou Yi, who was a Soul Emperor, was frozen by someone. In the end, I had to rescue him."

"But this ice seems to be a little different from the last one. This ice seems to be more terrifying, mysterious, and incredible. It seems to have an extreme heat burning in it."

"Ice attribute? Heat is burning? Master Xuan, I don't understand what you are saying." Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly, looking confused.

"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you. If there's nothing else, you two can take Xiao Tao back to the inner courtyard. I'll stay here alone for a while." Elder Xuan waved his hand helplessly, took a sip of wine, and signaled Yan Shaozhe and others to leave first. "Yes." Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe and Elder Zhuang bowed slightly to Elder Xuan, and then they flashed and left the Sea God River with the woman in red.

After Yan Shaozhe left, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Xuan Lao's mouth. He stomped his foot on the ground, and nine soul rings, two yellow, two purple, four black and one red, shining with dazzling brilliance instantly rose from under his feet.

Then, his oil-stained clothes were torn in an instant, and the muscles on his back swelled at an alarming speed. In the blink of an eye, his entire body doubled in size. The most bizarre thing was that a long spiral horn grew on each side of his head, and a terrifying aura burst out.

After releasing his martial spirit, the Taotie Divine Bull, Old Xuan quickly searched the surroundings, and then a huge mental force spread out with him as the center.

At the moment when Master Xuan released his martial spirit, Xiao Yan could clearly feel an extremely huge spiritual wave enveloping him, and then he continued to explore the surroundings, but fortunately he was wrapped in the soul power of Master Yao, so he was not discovered.

The scan continued for a while and then stopped.

"What's going on? There's no one here?!" Xuan Lao frowned slightly, his face looked a little ugly, and he thought to himself. He originally wanted to deliberately send Yan Shaozhe and others away so that they would relax their vigilance and then launch a surprise attack.

"I'm so sleepy. Never mind. I'm going back to sleep." After raising the gourd and taking a sip of wine, Old Xuan turned around and walked towards the direction of Poseidon Island. However, his eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings. In his seemingly calm and turbid eyes, there was a faint flash of sharp light like lightning.

After a moment, his figure disappeared into the lake.

Lying in the woods like a corpse, Xiao Yan suppressed his breath and heartbeat to the lowest level. With the cover of Yao Lao's soul power, he believed that no matter how powerful the old man was, he could not detect his location.

Seeing that Xuan Lao had left, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to move his body, Yao Lao's deep voice rang in his mind: "Don't move!"

Just as he was about to stand up, Xiao Yan's body froze in place again, and he had to remain in a half-squatting position. Just when he was about to give up, a figure suddenly appeared on the surface of the Sea God Lake not far away.

The old man who was eating chicken legs and drinking wine appeared in Xiao Yan's sight again, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

"Oh... there's really no one here. What happened to Xiaotao just now? Forget it, I'll ask her after she wakes up." A sigh came from Old Xuan's mouth, and then his body trembled, and he disappeared from the spot again.

"This old guy is really cunning!"
