The phantom poison cast by the hunchbacked old man in gray can affect others on its own, so that the poisoned person can only view the surrounding environment according to his own subconscious mind.
If one needs to deliberately create an environment of one's own setting, all of this requires the caster to use powerful spiritual awareness and spirit to cooperate with the creation of the phantom poison.
This kind of poison technique will place a huge burden on the caster's own consciousness and soul power, especially when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator whose cultivation level is far superior to his.
The consequences can only be guessed, and there is no way to know them for sure.
In just a few breaths, the hunchbacked old man in gray had already suffered a severe backlash from casting the spell, and his sea of consciousness was torn apart.
At this moment, cracks appeared in most of the sky in his sea of consciousness, which was shocking, and he felt as if it was about to break.
Moreover, the turbulent soul power in the body constantly impacted the Yintang point right between the eyebrows, as if it was about to rush out.
The spiritual power in the grey-clothed, hunchbacked old man's body was running wildly, forcibly suppressing all discomfort in his body.
Soon the east gate of the "Holy Demon City" appeared in his sight, and at this moment, a murderous voice came into his mind.
"You can't get away!"
Then the hunchbacked old man in gray felt a vague pressure coming towards him from behind.
This pressure condensed into a line and rushed towards him alone. The other people nearby were completely unaware of it.
The hunchbacked old man in gray clothes hesitated for a moment and then immediately returned to normal.
Dong Liqing behind him sneered in his heart and withdrew his pressure. He was still thinking about what had just happened.
The previous grab only injured the other party, and the real cultivation level of the old man in front of him should not exceed the late Jindan stage.
"Who is this guy? Not only does he have a very defensive magic weapon, but his escape technique is also extremely sophisticated.
Which cultivator has so many good things? Looking at his fleeting body, he seems to be some kind of dragon or snake.
How could Zhao Min have any connection with this kind of foreign cultivator? Even if she had any connection with someone else, the other person should most likely be a human cultivator, right? "
For a moment, many doubts and speculations flashed through Dong Liqing's mind one by one.
Just now, after he scratched the other person with a blow, the other person disappeared silently the next moment, which scared Dong Liqing himself.
I thought I had met a strong opponent, but I might have misjudged him.
When he looked around, he found a pool of dark green blood on the ground at the entrance of the alley more than a hundred feet away. With a quick scan with his spiritual sense, he immediately spotted a hunched figure running away.
The opponent had been injured by him, but Dong Liqing was already regretting it in his heart. He had never expected that the opponent had such a high-level defensive magic weapon, and his escape speed was extremely fast. He was careless and let the opponent escape.
He chased after him without hesitation. After just a moment's delay, the hunchbacked old man in gray was already near the east gate, which made Dong Liqing feel relieved.
“He didn’t go west to catch up with Zhao Min, which shows that he didn’t want to expose his relationship with Zhao Min.
In addition, he knew that I was going to kill him, but he did not rescue others. He did not want people to know that he was in danger and that he had a big secret.
Moreover, once he asks for help from people around him, I can say that he is an enemy of the "Holy Demon Palace" and take it back directly to prove his identity.
Once it is in my hands, he has no say over it, and he knows this in his heart, so it will be much easier to deal with it. "
If the hunchbacked old man in gray had turned around to chase Zhao Min who had just left, and had caught up with her now, Dong Liqing would definitely not be able to do anything.
However, the other party chose to leave in the opposite direction, which was enough to show that Zhao Min could not help him in public. There must be an unspeakable secret between the two of them.
At this time, he and the hunchbacked old man in gray were standing one in front and one behind, seemingly having nothing to do with each other, but Dong Liqing had quietly used his pressure to alert the other party and then withdrew it.
He was telling the other party that he couldn't escape.
The two of them are still in the city. Dong Liqing also doesn't want his purpose to be known to others. He wants to capture the other party, search his soul, and then destroy the body.
If he did all this here, as long as the old man died, Zhao Min would definitely hear about his presence here, and he would only drift further and further away from Zhao Min.
Therefore, although Dong Liqing was chasing, he did not let the demon guards guarding the city gate in front stop the other party, nor did he immediately catch up with the hunchbacked old man in gray and capture him directly.
Instead, he leisurely hung behind the other person, and just sent a mocking voice message to the hunchbacked old man in gray.
Once we leave the "Holy Demon City" and find an uninhabited place to capture this person, things will become very simple.
This time, he will definitely not fail again.
The hunchbacked old man in gray clothes soon came to the east gate. He did not stop, but shook the temporary token in his hand and rushed out of the city gate directly.
For such a scene, the demon guards simply took a quick look with their spiritual sense and ignored it completely.
They are mainly responsible for the payment of spirit stones by monks entering the city, and the inspection of temporary tokens of monks leaving the city. As long as the number of spirit stones inside is correct, it is fine.
If the other party is willing to hand over the temporary token, then accept it. Otherwise, no one will stop you from taking it away.
After the gray-clothed, hunchbacked old man left the "Holy Demon City", a willow-leaf-shaped emerald green magic weapon suddenly appeared under his feet, and it carried him into the sky.
This person was none other than Li Yan. The crack in his sea of consciousness was still expanding. His Yintang acupoint was beating like a war drum, and waves of stabbing pain came over him. His head was splitting with pain, as if something was trying to break out with force.
He could no longer stand steadily.
After summoning the Cloud-Piercing Willow, Li Yan finally got a moment to breathe.
He communicated with "Earth Spot" with his spiritual consciousness, and a small white jade bottle flashed in his hand. He flicked his finger, and the bottle stopper flew up. A pill emitting soft purple light fell into his hand. There were runes on the pill that kept flowing, exuding an unspeakable mysterious color.
The moment the pill fell into Li Yan's hand, the surrounding world felt clear and empty, but Li Yan had already activated the restriction of "Cloud-Piercing Willow" to prevent the strange phenomenon from spreading.
The pill circled in Li Yan's palm, and the next moment it seemed to want to fly away. It was the eighth-grade elixir "Zhenyuan Pill" that had already gained some intelligence.
Spiritual power surged out of Li Yan's hands, and the "Zhen Yuan Dan" actually conveyed a pleading tone in a humane way. At this moment, Li Yan no longer cared about the other party's wishes.
The spiritual power in his hand was like a knife, cutting lightly, and a small piece of refreshing fragrance flew into his mouth.
Then, Li Yan glanced at the eight-tenth-sized "Zhen Yuan Pill" in his hand with heartache. At the same time, a painful sound like a baby came from the pill.
The purple light on the surface dimmed instantly. The next moment, Li Yan put it into the white jade bottle and it disappeared with a wave of his hand.
His sea of consciousness was about to shatter, and his soul was about to separate from his body.
If Li Yan were to heal this kind of injury by himself, it would take at least a hundred years for him to recover.
Moreover, one must have elixirs of no less than fifth grade that can repair the sea of consciousness and the soul. Either of these two kinds of elixirs is extremely difficult to come across outside, let alone be purchased in the market.
The move he made just now of swallowing the elixir was inspired by the experience of "Old Man Long Jiao" taking an unknown elixir.
The green nameless pill of "Old Man Longjiao" was shared with others and swallowed.
Li Yan felt that although the backlash he suffered this time was severe, he still would not need a complete "Zhen Yuan Dan".
"Zhen Yuan Dan" is an eighth-grade intermediate elixir that defies the heavens. In the mortal world, only Pingtu should have a few of them.
Li Yan felt that he might be able to recover somewhat by taking about 20% of the medicine, so of course he wanted to give it a try. The "Zhen Yuan Dan" was too expensive, and he didn't want to waste it.
As soon as that small piece of pill entered his body, Li Yan felt an extremely powerful medicinal power spreading throughout his limbs and bones. In just a moment, the medicinal power spread throughout his body.
The first thing Li Yan felt was that the pain at the Yintang point on his forehead was gone.
After the soul was wrapped by the power of the medicine, it was like a baby returning to the arms of its mother, bathing in the warmth. It wanted to sink quietly and continue to sink until it returned to its original position in the body.
In the sea of consciousness, a spring rain was falling in large flakes. The cracks in the sky disappeared at an alarming speed, and the gray sky regained its vitality.
All this happened in just a moment, and Li Yan in the outside world was a little dazed.
"So fast?"
This was the first time he took the "Zhen Yuan Pill", or to be exact, a small piece of the "Zhen Yuan Pill". Although he had seen Gong Chenying come back to life before, it was not as real as his own experience.
This was the most incredible time that Li Yan had ever swallowed any elixir since he started practicing Taoism.
But this was not the time for him to think too much.
"If this plan succeeds, it won't be in vain that I took out the 'True Yuan Pill'."
There was a fierce look in Li Yan's eyes. From Zhao Min's description, this person completely disrupted the relationship between him and Zhao Min, which was equivalent to completely disrupting their plans.
In this situation, the ruthlessness in Li Yan's heart was exposed. With such a strong man by his side, he and Zhao Min would have problems sooner or later, so he was willing to fight.
Of course he didn't know how to fight, as that would be tantamount to committing suicide, so he spent several years preparing for all this.
However, just as the plan began, a random attack from a Nascent Soul forced him to take out the extremely precious "True Yuan Pill".
Li Yan felt the medicinal power still existing in his body.
"There is still some medicinal power left. We can gather it together. After refining it later, it will be of great benefit."
This is the residual medicinal power of an eighth-grade intermediate elixir. Li Yan is reluctant to waste even a little bit of it, or he would die of pain.
But at this moment, he had more important things to do. As soon as his injuries recovered, his spiritual power surged out like a tide.
The "Cloud-piercing Willow" suddenly cut through the sky, and after a flash, it appeared at the end of the distant horizon.
At this time, Dong Liqing, who had just left the city, had also arrived in the air. He looked at the hunchbacked old man in gray clothes who stepped onto the flying magic weapon, and snorted lightly first.
He was still thinking about staying behind the opponent for a while and taking action after he was farther away from the "Holy Demon City".
But the next moment, a dazed look appeared on his handsome face. After flying for a few breaths, the man's speed suddenly increased several times and he distanced himself from him in an instant.
"This... This is a Yuanying-level flying magic weapon? He... He has a Yuanying-level magic weapon!"
Dong Liqing's eyes were suddenly filled with red, and strong greed quickly took over his heart. For a moment, he completely forgot his original intention of targeting the other party.
Now that Li Yan was using the "Cloud Piercing Willow" with all his strength, with his strong spiritual power, he was already extremely close to the fastest speed that Shuang Qingqing had mentioned.
Although he still couldn't fly as fast as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could already reach a distance of a thousand feet in an instant. With Dong Liqing's strength at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, if he wanted to catch up with the other party, he would probably need to chase for at least ten thousand miles.
The hunchbacked old man in gray clothes, with a cultivation level of about the middle stage of the Golden Core, was able to drive the flying magic weapon at such a speed. Dong Liqing instantly determined the level of this flying magic weapon.
A flying magic weapon that is very likely to be used by a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if it cannot reach that level, its grade is definitely top-notch among mid-grade magic weapons.
He doesn't have such a good thing, and his own flying magic weapon is not as fast as his own. Of course he is jealous.
