This result is of course what Li Yan wants to see.
Therefore, he would usually attack in the wilderness, which was also a good place for him to set an ambush. He would not give the opponent a chance to escape, thus exposing the possibility that the monk used illusions to kill people.
He was nearly killed by his opponents three times. One time, his opponent was in the late Jindan stage, and twice, his opponent was in the false infant stage.
Li Yan mostly relies on ambushing and killing his opponents when dealing with cultivators in the middle Jindan stage and above. That is his strong point.
Among these three people, the one who surprised Li Yan the most was the late Jindan cultivator. He was from the "Three-eyed Divine Ape" clan, and his third eye had the talent to break through illusions.
After encountering Li Yan's illusion, it actually took the cultivator only a breath and a half to see through the illusion. This was the information Li Yan obtained after searching his soul after he fell to the ground due to poisoning.
After seeing through the illusion, the "Three-Eyed Monkey" did not show it immediately, but continued to pretend to be immersed in it, unable to extricate himself, making various gestures.
When Li Yan slowly approached to observe, the "Three-Eyed Divine Ape" finally found the opportunity and instantly used its magic weapon to launch a fatal attack.
Even though Li Yan was prepared, he still made a misjudgment. If it weren't for Li Yan's strong body, that blow would have caused his body to explode.
A Jindan cultivator's magic weapon hit him directly. Even though Li Yan's body was strong now, his internal organs were greatly shaken. He was injured on the spot and it took him more than ten days of recuperation to recover.
Fortunately, Li Yan had prepared other backup plans besides the phantom poison, so no bigger accidents occurred.
The next two times he faced the fake infant monk, the first time not only was the opponent's cultivation terrifyingly powerful, but he also practiced an evil skill.
After breaking through the illusion, the other party turned out to be an extremely rare soul cultivator, and Li Yan almost had his soul sucked away by the other party.
In a hurry, Li Yan dived into the nearby "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" and escaped the disaster. The opponent also fell to the ground due to the poison soon after.
The other fake infant monk's true form is the "Dark Blood Scorpion", a highly poisonous monster. Even though he was poisoned by Li Yan's poison, he was still extremely brave.
The deadly poison emitted by the hook on its tail also caused Li Yan to fall into a brief unconscious state, but Li Yan woke up at the last moment.
For the first time, he truly performed the "Fu Bo Soul-Killing Technique", mobilizing the Gui Yi Water-Finding Spear that had been hidden for a long time, and pierced through the opponent's soul before the opponent could detect the abnormal spatial fluctuations.
Li Yan was almost killed several times and although he was still frightened, he knew that the path to immortality was like this. There was no one in the world who was truly invincible at the same level. He couldn't do it, and neither could others.
Only by constantly strengthening yourself and paying attention to the smallest details in everything can you live longer.
After four months of testing the phantom poison, Li Yan has already figured out the effectiveness and power of the phantom poison, but the only pity is that he cannot let his Nascent Soul enter the phantom poison to test the results.
However, he still felt that Dong Liqing would be affected in some way, but the time was very short and he could not be too sure about the exact duration.
As long as the other party is affected and sees his "true form", Li Yan's goal will be achieved. It also gives Li Yan time to escape from the "Holy Demon City".
Afterwards, Li Yan secluded himself for another two months to fully recover his body.
At this time, almost three years had passed since he last met Zhao Min.
He finally came to a mountain range four hundred miles away from the "Ghost Dragon Clan" sect. This was the place he passed by when he infiltrated the "Ghost Dragon Clan" earlier.
He immediately thought this was a good place to kill and rob.
So when he was planning on Dong Liqing, his first reaction was to set an ambush here, as the "Ghost Dragon Clan" was too close to here.
Li Yan searched in the mountains for a day and finally found a more suitable cave. He was very satisfied with the height of the cave, but it was not deep enough, only about five miles.
After entering the cave, Li Yan began polishing for more than a month.
Not only did he extend the cave to more than forty miles, but he also opened up a number of crisscrossing paths inside it to interfere with Dong Liqing's tracking speed.
Then, he began to set up mechanisms and serial traps in every corner of the cave.
The trap he set completely abandoned the forbidden formation and was instead arranged using pure Daqingshan hunter methods.
Although the small mountain village in Daqingshan is very small, the traps they have inherited, some vicious and some clever, are their means of survival, and will not produce any fluctuations in spiritual power at all.
At the same time, Li Yan continued to adjust his fragmented poison, trying to combine various extremely vicious and unique toxins.
These poisons must meet Li Yan's two requirements:
First, it is colorless and tasteless, and can poison the other party without knowing it;
Second, Li Yan only placed a tiny amount of toxins at each ambush site to ensure that these toxins would not take effect immediately.
He found various small magical beasts and tested them repeatedly for hundreds of times. Due to their natural sensitivity, the poison only took effect within the time estimated by Li Yan.
Finally, Li Yan used the "Heaven-Stealing Scarf" to sneak into the "Ghost Dragon Clan" again, quietly killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and took his body with him.
After nearly three years of preparation, Li Yan finally completed his ambush plan. After changing his appearance, he set out on the journey back to the "Holy Demon City".
Outside the "Holy Demon City", Li Yan used secret language to convey his plan to Zhao Min.
As expected, Zhao Min immediately strongly opposed it. Li Yan had been preparing for so long, how could he be willing to give up
He continued to patiently give various reasons, but in the end Zhao Min saw that she could not change his mind, and she knew that if she did not cooperate with Li Yan, she didn't know what Li Yan would do.
After much hesitation, Zhao Min finally chose to believe him, and kept comforting herself in her heart that Li Yan was a calm person and never did anything rash...
So I had no choice but to act according to the plan!
Dong Liqing's cultivation level was far beyond the other two, and neither Li Yan nor Zhao Min could sense whether the other party was following them.
But when Dong Liqing stepped into the range of the phantom poison, Li Yan was still slightly touched. He could feel the phantom poison in his sea of consciousness reacting.
But his spiritual sense could not detect any human or wild cats or dogs entering, so he decisively used the power of his soul to control the activation of the soul poison.
The results showed that his reaction was extremely correct, but in the process of actually implementing the plan, the strength of the Nascent Soul cultivator far exceeded his expectations.
Li Yan suffered a terrible backlash that could shatter his sea of consciousness and cause his soul to leave his body. But fortunately, he was well prepared. In order to deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had already prepared the True Yuan Pill and the "Earth Spot" space. This was his last trump card and confidence.
All the efforts were not in vain. The phantom poison finally affected Dong Liqing's consciousness to some extent.
After Li Yan dodged the backlash of the first wave of attacks, he finally used the speed of "Cloud-Piercing Willow" to successfully enter the ambush site.
The subsequent developments were just as he had expected. Dong Liqing, with a contemptuous heart, had various parts of his body constantly come into contact with various traps, as well as the vines, flying arrows, etc. that he had deflected.
He even touched somewhere in the cave without knowing it, such as when he walked around the corner of the cave, he subconsciously touched the wall of the corner.
This time, Li Yan used almost all the poisons he could, and he placed them repeatedly in the cave which was more than forty miles long.
There are almost no blind spots, ensuring that Dong Liqing can be exposed to even the slightest bit of the poison to the greatest extent possible.
When Dong Liqing found that he was feeling unwell, dozens of poisons in his body had already revealed their ferocious fangs one by one, and his consciousness finally fell into madness.
So many poisons exploded in the body one by one. Even with Dong Liqing's cultivation level, he was ultimately unable to withstand the deadly trap that Li Yan had carefully planned for several years.
The "Three Most Poisonous Bodies" that were famous in the Desolate Moon Continent once again appeared on the Lost Continent, revealing their vicious faces...
When Shanggong Changge arrived at the mountain where Dongliqing died again, the elder who had achieved the state of transformation had already found a tattered corpse deep at the bottom of the mountain.
Judging from his attire, he is a cultivator from the "Ghost Dragon Clan" which lives not far away.
"Is it true that the 'Ghost Dragon Clan' cultivator secretly plotted against Dong Liqing, but was killed by him in the end?"
Shanggong Changge also fell into deep thought for a while...
Not long after, a shocking news came from the "Holy Demon Palace" that a long-hidden sect - the "Ghost Dragon Clan" was a hidden sect of the Black Demon Clan.
They teamed up with the Black Demon Clan to assassinate a Yuanying from the White Demon Clan, and the entire "Ghost Dragon Clan" was destroyed.
Even the "Old Man Dragon" who was hiding deep in the forbidden area of the tribe and another Jindan cultivator Xi Ye were captured, searched and killed.
This incident caused a sensation in the city. The Black Demon Clan even extended their hands into the "Holy Demon Palace". They are becoming more and more unscrupulous.
Rumor has it that the "Holy Demon Palace" did not capture the Black Demon master who killed Dong Liqing, but only captured a group of small fry.
As a result, many sects had to increase their vigilance.
"Does that powerful Black Demon really exist, or is it just Dong Liqing's speculation before his death?"
Shanggong Changge was wearing a palace dress. She was looking at the fish in the pond surrounded by green lotus leaves and muttering to herself.
But she knew that after searching the souls of those "Ghost Dragon Clan" cultivators one by one, she did not get any news about the Black Demon Clan, and even the information about Dong Liqing was pitifully little.
However, when the Dongli lineage could not find the murderer, they concluded that the relevant memories of the "Ghost Dragon Clan" must have been erased, and Dong Liqing was killed by the other party.
There are also deadly poisons in the "Ghost Dragon Clan" that can kill Nascent Soul cultivators. Although there are not many types, they do exist.
"Old Man Long Jiao, a cultivator who was about to form a baby, died in a truly miserable way!"
Thinking of the “Old Man Long Jiao” who was bleeding from all seven orifices and whose face was filled with misery and resentment when his soul was searched, Shanggong Changge was unable to judge for a moment whether this sect was really a spy for the Black Demon Clan.
The old ancestor of the Dongli lineage who had achieved the state of being a god was actually unable to confirm whether the memory of “Old Man Long Jiao” had also been modified or erased, but he would not let the other party go out of his mind.
It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go!
This is the world of cultivating immortals!
Fortunately, there was no trace of Zhao Min in the memories of all the cultivators of the "Ghost Dragon Clan". This made Shanggong Changge feel relieved and more certain of his judgment.
… …
On another continent four billion miles northwest of the Lost Continent, there are tens of millions of towering snow-capped mountains reaching into the sky.
The mountains are high and low, and the white snow illuminates the entire world.
The ground was covered with thousands of feet of ice gullies. Blue light flickered in the abyss-like gullies, like the huge mouths of ferocious beasts facing the sky. Fist-sized snowflakes fell endlessly from the sky.
Amid the vast sky and earth, thick, bright red arcs of electricity were dancing among the snowflakes.
With a crackling sound, it fell on the snow that was unknown how deep, and tiny red arcs of electricity flashed and jumped all over the ground.
Between the two ice peaks rising into the sky, there was a howling cold wind.
They kept blowing out wild snow containing red arcs of electricity. Apart from the whistling of the cold wind and the sound of thunder and lightning, there was no other sound between heaven and earth.
Day after day, year after year, as time goes by, there has never been any change here, as if the wind, snow and red lightning here will never end.
Beyond the two ice peaks, there are two completely different worlds. Extending outward from the foot of the mountain, the ice and snow gradually become less, and the sound of cold wind and thunder and lightning gradually fade away.
As the ice and snow gradually became less dense in the distance, the temperature also rose a little bit. Extending dozens of miles outward, the sparse grass roots on the ground were exposed as the ice and snow melted.
The water from the ice and snow slowly gathered towards Vietnam, clear and transparent. There were more and more streams on the ground, and the green and yellow grass was becoming more and more dense.
The grass washed by the flowing stream turns from tender yellow to green, and the thin leaves become more crystal clear.
In the distance, unknown wild flowers are blooming everywhere, some high, some low, some large, some small, swaying gently in the slightly cold wind...
On this day, a figure rushed out from between two ice peaks, accompanied by a biting cold wind, followed by a burst of wild laughter rising into the sky.
