In the next instant, the Tier Nine Magical Artifact above his head, accompanied by a streaking afterimage and a large amount of crackling lightning, thrust toward the Fire Spirit Sect disciple, Yang Ding! Since it had come to this point, a fight was inevitable. Of course, striking first was the way to go!

When the Fire Spirit Sect disciple, Yang Ding, saw this, his expression changed, and he cursed loudly, "Damn it, you're looking for death!"

Immediately, the Flame Sparrow above his head suddenly flapped its wings, meeting the Tier Nine Magical Artifact that had already flown in front of him, while he quickly retreated backward. Just a moment ago, he had been complacent. He never expected this kid would dare to attack him, especially without a word, striking directly! This was after his master, Flaming Blade Duan River, had already intimidated the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's disciples and countless other cultivators present.

Astonished, he lost the initiative. Though he reacted quickly, using the Flame Sparrow to block the Tier Nine Magical Artifact, the numerous bolts of lightning spreading from the artifact still struck him. Fortunately, he had earlier activated a considerable amount of True Qi for protection. Otherwise, this sudden strike and the large amount of lightning would have been enough to injure him! Even so, being struck by the large amount of lightning, his red robe was still hit by many small bolts, creating numerous holes!

After retreating several hundred feet and barely managing to block most of the lightning, Yang Ding, the Fire Spirit Sect disciple, stared at his tattered red robe with a grim face. He then looked up at Li Xiaohu, his eyes brimming with intense killing intent!

At this moment, all those Fire Spirit Sect disciples in mid-air, including Second Prince Chang Li and Flaming Blade Duan River, had faces as dark as iron. Li Xiaohu's decisive strike, hitting the target and forcing Yang Ding's immediate retreat, was like a resounding slap to their collective faces!

"Damn it!" Chang Li's face was ironclad, and the Demon King-level Earth Dragon coiled around his palm started to writhe rapidly.

"I will definitely kill you!" Yang Ding roared, his face livid from being driven back by Li Xiaohu's strike. "Damn it, not only kill you but also burn you to ashes!"

He frantically activated the True Qi within him. Above his head, the fiery dome started to spin rapidly. Subsequently, Flame Sparrows dozens of feet long emerged continuously from the flames atop the Fire Spirit Cauldron, shrieking sharply as they flew towards Li Xiaohu! In the blink of an eye, as many as twenty-eight Flame Sparrows were near Li Xiaohu! Each Flame Sparrow was as solid as if real, like twenty-eight powerful Ninth-Layer Realm demons simultaneously attacking Li Xiaohu!

Moreover, even more astonishingly, these twenty-eight Flame Sparrows weren't even Yang Ding's limit. As he continuously activated his True Qi and absorbed more Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade, more Flame Sparrows continuously flew out from the Tier Seven Magical Artifact, the Fire Spirit Cauldron, joining in the siege of Li Xiaohu!

Fortunately, the Magical Artifact in Li Xiaohu's hand was truly powerful—a rare Tier Nine Magical Artifact. With its full activation, terrifying bolts of lightning as thick as water buckets continuously shot out. These strikes caused the surrounding Flame Sparrows to tremble, temporarily averting the crisis of Li Xiaohu being overwhelmed and burned by them!

Lin Xuankong, seeing this scene, couldn't help but frown slightly. As expected, the Fire Spirit Sect's Cultivation Technique is extremely powerful. Even relying solely on the Tier Seven Fire Spirit Cauldron, he can hold his own against Li Xiaohu, who has reached Ninth-Layer Perfection and possesses a Tier Nine Magical Artifact, and even suppress him! If this Fire Spirit Sect disciple Yang Ding had a Tier Nine Magical Artifact, Little Hu would have been injured already in these few breaths!

However, if this continues, and Little Hu doesn't use the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, he's likely to lose in the end!

Thinking of this, True Qi began to circulate silently within Lin Xuankong's body. The two sets of Immortal Capturing Arrays and the Grade-Three Cyan Nether Immortal Sword hidden in his Dantian also began to tremble slightly. Using two Immortal Capturing Arrays and a Grade-Three Cyan Nether Immortal Sword to deal with a late-stage Grade-Three Earth Immortal shouldn't be a problem, right?

Beside him, Hu Shuo, Yang Mountain, Han Lu, Li Er, Liy Ruofeng, and Liy Ruoqing also had serious expressions, their True Qis silently circulating within them.

Just as it seemed a fierce battle was about to break out, suddenly, a figure floated over, accompanied by a golden Buddha's Light. As the Buddha's Light shone, countless Buddhist Secret Patterns appeared, and the air spontaneously vibrated, producing a chorus of Buddhist chanting! Upon the arrival of the Buddha's Light and chanting, the Flame Sparrows attacking Li Xiaohu rapidly shrank. Within a breath, they diminished from dozens of feet in size to mere fist-sized birds! Simultaneously, the mass of lightning that Li Xiaohu had summoned also turned dimmer under the Buddha's Light and quickly vanished!

Only then did the floating figure, a woman, clasp her hands in a Buddhist gesture toward the two of them and say, "Heaven is but a thought away, as is Hell. Both of you are righteous cultivators. Why fight over a mere squabble? Why not listen to me, lay down your weapons, and make peace!"

Li Xiaohu and Yang Ding both looked up. They saw a woman in Buddhist robes and a Buddhist hat; she was a composed young nun.

Li Xiaohu frowned and looked at Lin Xuankong.

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, thinking to himself: Having now seen some of the Fire Spirit Sect's Cultivation Techniques, there's naturally no need to continue fighting. If it escalates into a full-blown fight, Duan River might get involved too. And although I might be able to contend with Flaming Blade Duan River using the Immortal Capturing Arrays and the Grade-Three Cyan Nether Immortal Sword, in such a public setting, it's unwise to reveal all my cards! Otherwise, if everyone knows I possess close to a hundred Immortal Artifacts, troubles would follow one after another, and I might even invite death upon myself! Unless I plan to enter the Secret Realm of the Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone and never come out again! Besides, I've seen this young nun before; she is a True Disciple of Galin Bodhisattva. I might disregard others, but Galin Bodhisattva has done me a significant favor. Since she sent this young nun, I can't possibly oppose her! What's more, the Spirit Platform Buddhism is a massive sect that can suppress any Immortal Sect in the Central Divine Dynasty. Now that their disciple has intervened, I can't let Little Hu continue to defy this young nun!

Seeing Lin Xuankong's nod, Li Xiaohu immediately raised his hand and withdrew the Tier Nine Magical Artifact. It transformed into a Little Jian that fell into his hand.

At this moment, the Fire Spirit Sect disciple, Yang Ding, wore a vicious expression and snarled, "Who the hell are you? Which sect do you belong to, you bald brat? When did you have the authority to meddle in the Fire Spirit Sect's affairs?"
