Li Yan did not look back. He looked ahead at the dark alley that he had seen countless times, with a calm expression.
"OK!"
Zhao Min stretched out her slender, snow-white hand and naturally held Li Yan's big hand on one side. A rare look of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Hehe, it's okay!"
Li Yan finally turned his head and smiled.
He did this to find out whether there would be a Nascent Soul level "soul" ahead.
He felt extremely uneasy, and Zhao Min should have the same feeling in her heart now, or she also sensed Li Yan's uneasiness.
According to their guess, there is more than a 50% chance that an advanced "spirit" that cannot be dealt with will appear ahead.
Even if the opponent will not pursue him if he is ten feet away, the attack speed of the Nascent Soul level "soul" is such that the possibility that Li Yan can dodge it is less than 20%.
This is when the opponent has no physical body and the attack speed and power are greatly reduced.
Whenever Li Yan was hit, his sea of consciousness would either be instantly destroyed or severely injured and difficult to heal. That would not be something that he could recover from by meditation or breathing exercises.
The attack of the Nascent Soul-level "soul" was very fast, and Li Yan did not react in the first place, so the use of the long rope of spiritual power to pull his body was not of much significance.
The greatest significance is that the physical body can be dragged back in the end. Anyone who goes to do such a thing may die.
But Zhao Min did not fight for it. It would be the same if either she or Li Yan died, as the other party would never be able to survive again. Besides, Li Yan had the highest cultivation level here and also the strongest spiritual awareness.
"Do you think Su Hong brought our news back to Xiaozhu Peak?"
Zhao Min suddenly said softly.
"You should have been there by now. It's been fourteen years. Master and Master's Wife must be very happy to know that you are still alive..."
Li Yan held Zhao Min's jade hand, and there was tenderness in his eyes.
"Big Brother and the others should be in a good mood too!"
"Yes, the eldest brother is the one who cares about you the most besides Master and Master's Wife. I don't know if the eldest brother has formed a Taoist couple with the fourth sister yet."
"Humph, why must you go with Fourth Senior Sister? Isn't Senior Sister Changting good enough?"
"Oh? Oh... Hello, Senior Sister Changting, your Gu wine is even better!"
"I can also make Gu wine, which may be of great help to your poisonous body!"
"Oh? Oh, oh... I think this thing should be a kind of enjoyment. After practicing all day, everyone is too tired. It's too hard to refine the Gu wine...
However, the eldest brother has been drinking it for many years, so he must like it more..."
"... When we get back, we'll go to your courtyard and drink in front of the moon..."
The two of them whispered like this, and neither of them mentioned the fact that Shuang Qingqing brought them back, as if they didn't care about that matter at all.
After a cup of tea, Zi Kun also opened his eyes, and Li Yan and the other person immediately stopped their conversation.
"Master, mistress, let me pass next!"
The purple-clothed young man had purple light flashing in his eyes as he looked coldly at the long alley ahead. He hated this place in his heart. It was monotonous and boring. He had been trapped in the Beiming Demon Suppression Tower for long enough...
Li Yan and Zhao Min did not transmit their conversation just now. What they said was not too private. They were just chatting to relax.
Zi Kun was no longer an outsider to them, so the purple-clothed youth heard what he said just now.
"No, you're not fast enough, and your sense is weaker than mine, so I'll go!"
Li Yan released the hand that was holding Zhao Min.
"Let him pass, we just need to take care of him later!!"
Zhao Min also shook her head at Zi Kun. She had already gotten used to the word "mistress".
Since there were only three of them here, she did not hide the tenderness and warmth in her eyes when she looked at Li Yan.
"Owner… "
"You are an ancient beast, when did you become so fussy
Remember, if anything happens to me, you must not move forward even half a step. When you cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, then you can break out again! ! "
Before Li Yan spoke, he had already walked forward and gave Zi Kun his final instructions.
At the same time, a blue light flashed in Zhao Min's hand. Li Yan didn't need to say anything. Before he took a step, she had already made her move.
A long dark blue spiritual power rope shot out from her hand and directly wrapped around Li Yan's waist. In an instant, Zhao Min's spiritual consciousness completely enveloped Li Yan and she closed her lips tightly.
Zi Kun sighed helplessly in his heart, Li Yan was right.
His strength is very strong now. With his innate magical powers and naturally strong physical body, he can even fight against a fake infant monk.
But compared to Li Yan and the other two, he was indeed a little behind. Just from the time the three of them took to repair their sea of consciousness, it could be seen that he took the longest time.
Then, Zi Kun waved his hand, and another long rope of purple spiritual power wrapped around Li Yan's waist. His expression instantly became highly concentrated and he stopped talking.
Soon, Li Yan walked out ten feet away. After arriving here, he became extremely cautious.
First, his spiritual sense vigilantly explored the surroundings, and after repeated confirmation, he slowly raised his foot.
As he raised his footsteps, Zhao Min and Zi Kun behind him suddenly tensed up, their eyes and consciousness were firmly fixed on Li Yan.
Li Yan took a deep breath and finally put his feet down to the ground.
The spiritual power shield was already glowing faintly on the surface of his body, and it was activated to its strongest defense state without any reservation, protecting Li Yan's entire body tightly.
As his feet touched the ground, Li Yan, with his muscles tensed, was ready to retreat at any time.
However, nothing appeared in his perception, and everything was calm, but he did not let his guard down.
Instead, he became even more nervous. Then, he slowly raised his other foot, and this time, after a slight hesitation, he took another small step down. The expected attack and the elusive "spirit" were still nowhere to be seen.
"Was I too suspicious before?"
But Li Yan felt that his perception of crisis was most likely correct. He and Zhao Min had experienced too many life and death situations. This instinctive perception was somewhat close to the Buddhist "clairvoyance".
But now that things have come to this, Li Yan can only move forward, otherwise it would be difficult for him to stop here.
Then, he took another small half step forward!!
Li Yan's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. No one could endure this state of mental tension for a long time, but no "soul" appeared...
Half an hour later, in an extremely depressing atmosphere, Li Yan's black robe had become as wet as water. Every time he took a small step, a watermark would be left on the ground...
He had walked more than seventy feet, but not even a "soul" appeared. This situation had never happened before.
Before, as long as you walked ten feet, various attacks would basically appear one after another, more or less.
The more this happened, the more Li Yan and the other two felt that danger was approaching, and their previous perception was correct.
Zhao Min bit her lower lip tightly. Zi Kun's forehead was also covered in sweat. His hands were shaking a little and his eyes were staring straight ahead.
At this moment, Li Yan, who had just taken half a step forward, suddenly paused, and the aura that had been restrained and locked in his body suddenly fluctuated violently.
"receive!"
Without waiting for Li Yan to react, Zhao Min immediately shouted in a low voice. In fact, she didn't need to say anything, Zi Kun started almost at the same time as her, and magic power gushed out of his body.
Li Yan's body paused almost instantly, and a shadow was left behind, and then he returned to the front of the two of them in an instant.
As soon as Zhao Min and Zi Kun saw Li Yan flying back, the ground beneath their feet touched the ground and, like arrows shot from a bow, they turned into two streaks of light and flew away at high speed.
After a few breaths, relying on years of experience and constant sensing, the two finally stopped.
Li Yan, who was being pulled behind like a kite, was also suspended in the air.
But what surprised Zhao Min and the others was that at this moment Li Yan's eyes were a little dull, his magic power was fluctuating uncontrollably, and his whole mind was in a dazed state.
Zhao Min changed her usual cold attitude. She used the magic power in her hands to pull Li Yan in front of her immediately, with anxiety in her eyes not concealed at all.
There was no pain on Li Yan's face, and his eyes had lost their liveliness, only dullness.
They have been fighting against "spirits" for so many years that they naturally know that if someone's expression is painful, it usually means they are just injured and the situation is actually better.
In this state, although he still has breath, it is possible that Li Yan's sea of consciousness has been severely damaged in an instant.
Even with careful treatment, the soul of a person with such an injury would not be able to recover and he would basically become an idiot.
"you you you… "
Zhao Min uttered only one word in a trembling voice, and her palm had already covered Li Yan's forehead.
Just as she stretched out her hand, Li Yan, who had a dull look in his eyes, suddenly shook his body. He subconsciously dodged the covering hand, and his eyes became clear in an instant.
"Master, are you okay?"
Zi Kun lost his voice. Li Yan also saw the hand coming over, and he grabbed Zhao Min's hand, his voice no longer as calm as before.
"We...we...we've reached the end!"
Zhao Min, who had just come back to her senses after being frightened by Li Yan's sudden awakening, had a frozen expression on her handsome and flawless face, just like Li Yan before.
After a few breaths...
"Master... Junior Brother... You... You said we have reached the end of the long alley?"
Zhao Min still couldn't believe it, and there was a strange emotional fluctuation in her voice.
"Haha, I just saw the end of the alley, the real end of the alley. There is no road ahead... Let's go over there and take a look!"
After a few more breaths, Li Yan and the other two flew directly to their previous position at an even faster speed. After they had moved forward more than seventy feet, the light in front of their eyes suddenly turned bright yellow.
There was no longer the long, dark alley that had existed for the past decade, but instead a high wall stood in front.
The entire wall is emitting bright yellow rays of light, illuminating the surroundings and making people feel refreshed.
The three of them landed in front of a bright yellow high wall. In fact, their spiritual sense had already swept over there while they were flying.
“There’s a little door here!!”
As soon as Zikun landed, he pointed to a corner under the high wall in front.
There was a "small door" about ten feet high and ten feet wide, and its color was slightly darker than the wall.
Of course, the size of this "small door" is only relative to the tall wall, but it is large enough for several people to pass through side by side.
In fact, he didn't need to say it, Li Yan and Zhao Min had already seen the "small door". This was undoubtedly the final gateway for the "Soul Prison Clan" to exit after this trial.
"See how we can get out!"
Li Yan said with a smile that when he got here, he was not as anxious as before.
"I'll try!"
Zi Kun also said excitedly that he was the spirit of the "Great Dragon Elephant Formation" and was quite proficient in the formation.
As he spoke, his spiritual sense had already begun to carefully explore the area around the "small door".
After just a short while, rays of magical light rose from his hands. Unrecognizable purple runes flew out in the sky, and the next moment, they fell on the small door one after another.
In an instant, a dazzling golden light appeared on the small door, illuminating the faces of Li Yan and others with a bright golden glow.
Zi Kun's hand gestures became faster and faster, and the light on the small door became brighter and brighter.
As Li Yan and Zhao Min watched, there was a sudden explosion from the wall in the golden light! !
