Anyone who has lived in the desert knows that the direction of the strong winds in the desert can change at any time.
Therefore, the yellow sand wind column will only blow in one direction for a period of time.
And most of the time, the strong winds will stop after a period of time, and the yellow sand in the sky will be scattered everywhere on the ground, waiting for the next strong wind to come and blow up the sand again.
There was a column of yellow sand and wind before, which already existed when the Red Fire Ancestor's spiritual sense passed by. And just now when he withdrew his spiritual sense, the yellow sand and wind columns in other directions either stopped or changed direction.
But the column of yellow sand wind still drifted forward, and the speed of this wind column brought up by the strong wind seemed to be much faster than the surrounding wind columns.
All these abnormal behaviors can only indicate that someone is manipulating this wild wind and yellow sand.
Thinking of this, Old Ancestor Chihuo's eyes lit up, and his spiritual sense quickly swept in that direction again.
After a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"This should be where you are hiding. However, this set of concealment skills is really amazing. It should be a rare hidden magical power. It seems that I still cannot kill you directly this time."
The Red Fire Ancestor looked into the distance with greed in his eyes.
No matter how many spirit stones one has, they are not as good as a good magic weapon or a peerless magical power. However, at this moment he was just guessing and still could not be sure that the raging wind and yellow sand might be the real scene of heaven and earth caused by some accident.
If Li Yan knew that he had wasted the effectiveness of "Stealth at Night" due to his lack of experience, he would probably regret it.
Although he was very smart, he grew up on the edge of the mountains and forests, and knew very little about the common things in the desert.
The only time he had ever seen a desert was when it was a level in the wheel of life and death.
If he had been in the jungle today, with his knowledge of the jungle vegetation and the monsters therein, he might have been able to escape this time. This is experience, and has nothing to do with intelligence.
At this moment, Li Yan's forward direction deviated because of the Red Fire Ancestor chasing the puppet, and the two were flying at a large angle, widening the distance between them.
During the time gained by the puppet, although Li Yan himself only flew more than 300 miles, the distance between the two of them was actually close to more than 470 miles.
If he knew the changes in the wind and sand in the desert, even for a Jindan cultivator, the things his spiritual sense would have to scan at this distance would be too many.
As long as Li Yan can grasp the general direction and slowly move away from the opponent, just moving forward with the wind, although it may take longer to escape, he may be able to deceive the eyes and ears of the Red Fire Ancestor and escape far away.
After confirming something, Old Ancestor Chihuo quickly chased after Li Yan with loud laughter.
When Li Yan sensed that the Red Fire Ancestor was chasing him at lightning speed, he realized that his "stealth and hiding at night" technique had been seen through by the other party.
He thought it was because he had not practiced this technique deeply enough, so he simply stopped hiding his aura and instead, a burst of spiritual light rose up into the sky.
He rushed forward at an even faster speed, and constantly adjusted his direction during flight, making multiple turns, forcing the opponent to change direction accordingly, thus slowing down the Red Fire Ancestor's pursuit speed.
"It is hidden in the yellow sand."
Li Yan was flying when he heard a sneer. The voice of the Red Fire Ancestor came from between heaven and earth.
The Red Fire Ancestor, who originally only had some guesses, saw Li Yan reveal his true form and fly away, and greed filled his eyes.
Li Yan was stunned after hearing this.
"It turns out that he didn't notice my presence, at least he couldn't be sure, but..."
Li Yan then came to realize that the other party was just guessing and was not actually sure of his location.
"My dear friend, how about we make a deal? If you are willing to hand over this set of concealment skills, then I will forgive you and let you go, how about that?"
Li Yan lowered his head and flew quickly, when suddenly a gentle voice came to his ears.
Li Yan looked back hurriedly, but he could not see the figure of the Red Fire Ancestor. He thought that he was still quite a distance away from him, and it was just a thousand-mile voice transmission.
But this voice was full of gentleness, making people feel as if they were bathing in spring sunshine, with warmth in their hearts.
A face immediately appeared in Li Yan's mind, it was exactly the appearance of the Red Fire Ancestor.
At this moment, there was no trace of rudeness and cruelty on the old ancestor Chihuo's face. That originally ugly face, in Li Yan's mind, had become the image of a kind elder, making people naturally want to trust him.
Li Yan couldn't help but slow down, and the voice continued to ring in his mind.
"My dear friend, I actually have no ill intentions. I was just following orders before. But now I see that you are a rare talent. Meeting me is also a destiny.
If you stop, I will give you a great opportunity, which will be of great benefit to you in condensing the golden elixir in the future, and the condition is just to borrow your magic to see it. "
The Red Fire Ancestor's voice was soothing and persuasive, and Li Yan became more and more dazed. Finally, his body stopped completely, and a voice kept ringing in his head.
“Give him the ‘Stealth at Night’ technique, give him the ‘Stealth at Night’ technique… As long as you give it to him, not only will his life be safe this time, but he will also be able to condense the golden elixir soon.
That's the Jindan stage. How many foundation-building cultivators have spent their entire lives without such good fortune? But now you can get it easily. Give him the 'Stealth at Night' technique... "
Just as Li Yan was standing there in a daze, the old ancestor Chihuo in the distance was overjoyed, knowing that his soul-calling technique had taken effect.
It would only take a short while for him to capture Li Yan alive. Then, no matter whether Li Yan was willing or not, he would have the final say on everything. After searching his soul, any secret would be revealed.
The spiritual consciousness of the Red Fire Ancestor was firmly locked onto Li Yan.
Li Yan stood there in a daze, staring into the distance with a dazed look, muttering to himself.
"I will have a chance to become an immortal. I will condense a golden elixir. I will condense a golden elixir. I can't... I can't..."
In the consciousness of the Red Fire Ancestor, he heard Li Yan talking to himself about the matter of forming the elixir, and sneered in his heart.
But in the end, after Li Yan said "no" several times in a row, Old Ancestor Chihuo was confused.
Li Yan continued talking to himself.
"No, no, absolutely do not hurt him..."
Just as the Red Fire Ancestor was wondering, suddenly, a very powerful spiritual force appeared in his consciousness.
Then, as he was moving forward, three hundred feet away from him, with a loud bang, a dark object that looked like a small mountain shot out from the ground and then stopped in the air. The Red Fire Ancestor was shocked and quickly stopped his body and looked intently. The small mountain-like object was only a few hundred feet away from him, but he didn't notice it at all.
A huge black inkstone was suspended in the air, as powerful as a mountain. It was another magic weapon that Li Yan had obtained not long ago - the Songmo Inkstone.
At this moment, this treasure is shining brightly in the sky under the illumination of the sun and the moon on both sides.
Feeling the pressure emanating from the inkstone that was as big as a small mountain, although it was only an elementary magic weapon, any magic weapon, even for a Jindan cultivator, was something that could only be found by chance.
Moreover, the pressure emanating from this magic weapon is not weak. Ancestor Chihuo can see that this is an initial-level top-level magic weapon, and its power is definitely not something that can be summarized by the word "good enough".
However, for now, Song Moyan does not pose a big threat to the Chihuo Patriarch.
But all this depends on who uses it. Old Ancestor Chihuo believes that if he can possess this item, he will be able to unleash the full power of this treasure.
I just crushed my way through like this, and when I passed that area, this treasure might suddenly attack me.
Ancestor Chihuo believed that with his level of cultivation, there wouldn't be too many problems in the end, but he would definitely be busy and flustered.
It seems that this treasure itself has a concealing function, otherwise, how can it be hidden from one's spiritual sense? In this way, the value of this treasure is several levels higher.
Looking at Li Yan's appearance again, the boy had been bewitched by himself and could not extricate himself from the illusion, so he even withdrew the ambush he had set up.
Ancestor Chihuo narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and pointed, and the Songmo Inkstone was like a moving hill, and with a whistling sound, it appeared in the air in front of his head.
Ancestor Chihuo cast a spell, and Song Moyan shrank rapidly in just a breath.
In the blink of an eye, it shrank to the size of a normal inkstone, and then floated in front of the Red Fire Ancestor.
Old Ancestor Lao Huo learned from his failures. When faced with a treasure offered by a poison cultivator, he had already closed all the acupoints in his body, even his breathing.
There is no need for any part of the body to directly touch the inkstone, and the spiritual power shield outside the body is flashing red light.
He carefully scanned the inkstone with his spiritual sense. As for Li Yan in the distance, he had already been firmly locked onto by his other spiritual sense. As long as there was the slightest abnormality, his reaction speed would definitely be within an instant.
Ancestor Chihuo didn't want to keep an unknown magic weapon by his side. He had already suffered a loss at the hands of Li Yan once, so how could he dare to do something stupid without checking the situation clearly
The spiritual sense of the Red Fire Ancestor repeatedly scanned the Song Mo Inkstone. As long as he found the mark of Li Yan's sacrifice on it, he would erase it without hesitation.
Anyway, for him, removing the mark left by a foundation-building cultivator was just a trivial matter in a matter of a thought.
After scanning repeatedly with his spiritual sense, Old Ancestor Chihuo felt a little happy.
"That kid got too deeply into the illusion. He was probably afraid of hurting me, so he lost the chance to condense the golden elixir. When he took out the magic weapon just now, he had already withdrawn his consciousness.
In this way, any magic weapon will be absolutely unable to attack without the control of spiritual consciousness or magic power.
Moreover, this magic weapon is actually an unrefined item. In this case, this kid should not have obtained this magic weapon for too long.
Then he must have other magic weapons on him, plus that advanced concealment technique, this time, I really have got a great opportunity.
Hehehe… I don’t know which sect or family he is a disciple of, and how he got to know Hu Chen Wuding.
But if I kill him without leaving any trace, I will be the biggest beneficiary, hahahaha..."
The heart of the Red Fire Ancestor became more and more heated.
Just when Song Moyan shot out from the ground, he sensed Li Yan's spiritual consciousness and left Song Moyan.
When he took the inkstone, Li Yan's consciousness did not follow, and just stayed there stupidly. It was obvious that Li Yan had completely lost his autonomous consciousness, and all his actions were just subconscious actions in the illusion.
At this time, the old ancestor Chihuo even regarded Li Yan in front of him as a disciple who came out to gain experience from a large sect or a family of immortal cultivators.
Otherwise, with the status of a foundation-building cultivator, there is no way he could easily produce a second-order puppet and a magic weapon.
Moreover, this magic weapon has not been refined yet, which can only mean that Li Yan got it from somewhere or just bought it. There must be another magic weapon that is his own life.
After confirming that there was no trace of Li Yan's consciousness left on the magic weapon, Old Ancestor Chihuo felt relieved.
At least at such a long distance, without the control of spiritual consciousness, Li Yan, who was in the foundation-building stage, could not use his magic power to control the inkstone to launch an attack. In this way, the magic weapon itself posed no threat to him at all.
Although the Red Fire Ancestor confirmed that there was no Li Yan's consciousness or spiritual power on the magic weapon, he still did not take it lightly.
But just as he was about to continue wrapping the inkstone with magic power and further check whether there was any colorless poison on it, the inkstone floating in front of him suddenly burst out with a dazzling white light.
The white light came suddenly, without any warning, and without even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy. Even though Old Ancestor Chihuo had been on guard, he was still caught off guard.
Only one thought flashed through his mind.
"not good!"
But before he could react, there was a loud earth-shaking noise.
A ball of dazzling light spread out from where the Red Fire Ancestor was standing.
In an instant, this piece of heaven and earth was like a falling meteorite emitting the last dazzling brilliance of its life.
All of a sudden, the area within a radius of several hundred miles was clearly illuminated, and half of the sky was painted white.
At that moment, the sky was like the scorching sun at noon, shining brightly in the sky.
Hundreds of miles away, Li Yan, who had been standing there stupidly, muttering to himself, suddenly lost all trace of the dull expression on his face.
At the moment when the white light burst out, he was already prepared. He withdrew his spiritual consciousness that had been lingering near the Red Fire Ancestor. At the same time, the spiritual light on his body became stronger and turned into a long rainbow, rushing towards the sky again.
The aftermath of the explosion lasted for a long time before slowly disappearing from the sky.
At this time, there were several extremely shrill roars from the Red Fire Ancestor, the sound shook the heaven and earth, and was heard from far away in the empty desert, like a wounded beast, emitting a strong unwillingness before death!
