l Cave, there was no benefit to fighting like this. Even if they drove the opponent away, it would be a loss for everyone. After all, such intense duels were draining. Besides, in the midst of chaos,..."Hold on, Brother Niu. Let's hear him out first."
Lu Xiaotian greeted the eight-legged demonic ox beast who was about to make a move again. It's understandable that the eight-legged demonic ox beast, as an indigenous creature of this secret realm, wouldn't have heard of the Zhao clan since they were originally from the Chi Yan Continent.
"Alright, then let's hear what this fellow has to say." The Eight-Armed Demon Bull Beast glared at the bald middle-aged man with some resentment.
“Let’s move to a different place to talk.” Lu Xia Tian worried that the white-clad middle-aged woman they had just escaped might have accomplices. Out of caution, Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't stay here for too long.
The bald middle-aged man was surrounded by several people and quickly moved to a mountain ravine. Lu Xia Tian skillfully set up an array, isolating the breath of several people.
“Where are you from, cultivator Why do you know about the Zhao clan, and how much do you know about them” Lu Xia Tian stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the bald middle-aged man who was restrained and guarded in the middle.
“I was originally the disciple of Elder Xiao Chang from the Danwang City of Lanmo Sea. By chance, I followed my master into this place over two hundred years ago. At that time, I was only in the middle stage of Jindan. Later, I encountered a demon cultivator. My master fought with it, and I also had a hard fight with other demon beasts. In the end, we parted ways. I didn't know where I had arrived at first, but by chance, I formed my Yuan Ying.” said Lian Yue, the bald middle-aged man.
"King City" Lu Xia Tian's face flashed a strange expression.

“Have you, Daoist friend, ever been to Dan Wang City Have you ever heard of the Lianjia clan of Dan Wang City”
Lian Yue looked at Lu Xiaotian in astonishment. Even Qiao Lan and Luo Qian felt quite interested. Qiao Lan had stayed in Baihe City for a while and knew something about Lu Xiaotian's past deeds. However, regarding Lu Xiaotian's experience after leaving Wangyue and wandering outside, she only knew that it happened, but she didn't know the specifics. Lu Xiaotian himself had never mentioned it. Now that he happened to mention it, they were all very interested in Lu Xiaotian's experiences.
"I've heard tales, back when I was still in the Golden Core stage, I crossed paths with someone named Lian Yun. I wonder if that's the Lian family member you mentioned."
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
Lu XiaTian recalled the time when he was challenged by numerous top-tier Jindan cultivators at the Zhanxian Tower in Danwang City. Among them, there was a graceful young master named Lian Yun whose strength impressed him greatly despite being defeated.
“Indeed, indeed, it’s this Lian family. I didn’t expect fellow Daoist to have crossed swords with Lian Yun as well, knowing even his given name. I wonder what became of Lian Yun” The bald middle-aged man's face showed a mixture of hope and fear. Since he had fought the silver-haired youth before him, and the youth was still alive, Lian Yun’s fate must be worrying.
"Having a fight inside the War Immortal Tower, what could possibly go wrong" Lu Xia Tian saw through the other party's worry and smiled calmly, "Let's get back to what we were talking about."
"So that's how it is. Even Zhanxian Tower knows about this. Could it be that fellow daoist is also from the Blue Devil Sea Region" Lian Yue's face flashed with a hint of joy. Having left the Blue Devil Sea Region, cultivators from the same place would naturally feel a sense of kinship towards each other. Cultivators and mundane mortals were ultimately members of the human race, sharing many similarities. Mundane mortals divided themselves by kingdoms, cities, and even towns, displaying strong xenophobia.
Those who cultivate immortality, from the small mountain peaks within a sect's palace to the vast Immortal Realm itself, are all essentially the same.
Hearing that Lu Xia Tian also came from the Blue Devil Sea Region, Lian Yue naturally hoped to dispel the other party's killing intent.
"Just been there. It's best not to change the subject. My patience is limited. Our friend here, Niu Xiong, has a fondness for cultivator flesh and blood. As a cultivator from the Blue Demon Sea, you are at the Golden Core stage. Entering this place and coming into contact with such secrets, there must be a twist in your story." Lu Xia Tian said.
The middle-aged man with a shaved head, upon seeing the eight-legged demonic ox's chilling gaze, suddenly shivered.
“As for the specific things about the Zhao clan, a family of illusionists, I don't know much, but I do know that after the Qin Emperor disappeared in the Qinling Mountains and overthrew the prosperous Qin Dynasty, they were hunted down by various vassal states. They were not completely exterminated, but instead retreated into secret realms. The secret realm we are currently in may very well be an extremely important foothold for the Zhao clan. So-called Phantom Ice Peak is also a gateway for the Zhao clan to enter this similar space node. Some space nodes leading to the Zhao clan's hiding place are controlled by the Zhao clan, while others are uncontrollable. Therefore, people will enter this place every once in a while to seek treasure.”
"The woman in white who was defeated by Brother Lu is a member of the Illusion Clan. How did you all get involved" The eight-legged demon bull beast said in puzzlement.
"The Zhao clan was originally extremely xenophobic. My master, back then, was being pursued by members of the Illusion Clan and should have perished years ago. Later, within the secret realm, things stirred among the demon clan and ghost clan. The Zhao clan couldn't hold them back, and their survival within the secret realm was greatly threatened. After battles with demons, ghosts, and other enemies, they suffered heavy losses. Only then did they start using us outsiders." Lian Yue stated plainly.
"It's the Ghost Clan again, these guys are really troublesome. But the situation in this secret realm seems even more complicated. There's even a Demon Clan now." Qiao Lan muttered thoughtfully.
"That is to say, even if the Zhao clan came looking for us, they might try to recruit us too"
“That’s hard to say. Whether or not they recruit him depends entirely on their intentions. Moreover, while the Zhao clan practices many different martial arts techniques, they have always passed down their skills through illusions. Since Lu Daoyou has been able to break through their illusions, what do you think the Zhao clan would do Would they allow such a threat as Lu Daoyou to continue to exist” Lian Yue sneered.
“That's true, but before we get unlucky, you'll be the one dying first.” The Eight-Armed Demon Bull beast said with murderous intent in its eyes. “Stop talking nonsense, since you've been here for so long, you must know something about the Zhao clan. If there are many of them, we can just avoid them. If they come in small numbers, it won't be enough for us to kill.”
“This esteemed sir need not harbor any hostility towards me. Since we are both outsiders in this place, naturally we should stand together against our common enemies. If it weren't for that formidable middle-aged woman in white who threatened me and that Zhou fellow, we would not have so readily submitted.” When he mentioned the woman in white, Lian Yue’s expression turned slightly indignant, yet there was also a hint of primal fear in his eyes.
"However, it's fortunate that Lu Daoist was able to break Zhao Clan's illusionary techniques. Our chances of escaping naturally increased by a few points."
“Are you wondering how I cracked the Zhao Clan’s illusion technique just now” Lu Xiaoteng looked at the few people whose eyes lit up, all looking expectant. Especially Qiao Lan, the eight-legged demon ox beast had seen Lu Xiaoteng crack the mirage wolf's illusion technique with its own eyes. It also had a similar effect, but when Lu Xiaoteng cracked the mirage wolf’s illusion technique, he used a strange ice pupil technique, clearly not comparable to ordinary divine powers.”whereabouts but also set a trap with ease. At this moment, Lu Xiaotien came to understand his own misconception.Although cultivators in the Immortal Realm grow more smoothly than those in lower realms...
