This was the first time that Li Yan's body-refining attacks using his poisonous body and "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" were ineffective in front of someone of the same level.
Even after using the "Five Elements Return to Hongmeng" and the Guiyi Water-Fenxing Stab that attacked the soul, he was unable to stop the opponent.
In the end, even Zi Kun and Qian Ji were exposed one by one.
In this situation, Li Yan was no longer willing to chase him. He had no other cards to play and was no longer sure that he could kill the middle-aged man in black robe quickly.
What Li Yan didn't know was that it was this battle that allowed the opponent to escape. He exposed the characteristics of his martial arts, which brought him endless troubles after he ascended to the fairy world.
After flying thousands of miles away, the middle-aged man in black robe did not sense that the other party was chasing him, and his body fell directly into the forest below.
Then, dull roars were heard one after another, and layers of cold air continued to overflow from the forest. In an instant, it seemed as if this small area had ushered in the coldest days of winter.
Some low-level monsters in the surrounding area had already been frightened and fled in panic, quickly moving away from this place. Those who were slow to escape were actually frozen in place, with no one knowing whether they were dead or alive.
The soul of the middle-aged man in black robe was stabbed again by the opponent's strange and inexplicable magic weapon. Uncontrollable pain continued to come from the depths of his soul, and his magic power in his body was also frozen and urgently needed to be recovered.
Just before, when the middle-aged man in black robe was corroded and sealed by the cold air from both inside and outside, he knew that the other party would take the opportunity to launch a fatal attack in the next moment.
But he did not fight back immediately, but chose to wait for the opportunity.
Sure enough, when Li Yan saw that the man was frozen and his breath was rapidly decreasing, he immediately used the Gui Yi Fen Shui Thorn again, hoping to kill the man with one blow.
The middle-aged man in black robe mobilized the last bit of magic power gathered in his body, and several cloud-shaped spaces suddenly swallowed up the "Fly Ice Gu".
Suddenly, the coldness in his body was greatly reduced, and his magic power was restored by half in an instant.
He jumped up suddenly and avoided Li Yan's fatal blow to his head, and used the Guiyi Water-Fenning Spear to instantly shatter the ice outside his body.
The moment the ice broke, his magic power increased again, and he immediately wanted to attack Li Yan and the others. This time, he would go all out.
Unfortunately, he did not expect that Li Yan's final attack was using the Gui Yi Water-Fen Shui Thorn. Although it helped him break the ice, the coldness was greatly reduced.
But he only dodged his head, and still couldn't avoid the Gui Yi Fen Shui Spear that pierced through his left and right shoulder sockets.
The murderous intent that had just arisen in the middle-aged man in black robe disappeared instantly, and he felt the severe pain deep in his soul again.
This time the pain was several times stronger than before, and he almost fell from the air.
His entire consciousness became blurred in an instant. Between life and death, he used up his last bit of strength and fled into the distance without hesitation.
It was also because his various reactions only took a moment, which made him look not too weak, so Li Yan didn't dare to chase him.
Just as the middle-aged man in black robe was enduring the pain in his soul in the forest of Yunlan Mountains and trying to force out the "Fly Ice Gu" from his body, the middle-aged man in purple robe in the secret room underground in the grassland suddenly opened his eyes.
"I actually let them escape!"
As soon as he had the thought, the figure disappeared from the secret room. A few breaths later, the figure of the middle-aged man in purple robe appeared in the Yunlan Mountains.
Just as he approached the forest where his clone was, the middle-aged man in purple robe suddenly stopped in the air. He looked towards a certain place in the void to the south, and his face became very gloomy in an instant.
"You are watching closely. Are those youngsters your people?"
As he finished speaking, a blurry shadow slowly emerged in the sky where he was looking.
“Amur, we had an agreement before that high-level cultivators cannot enter the Tianlan Mountains, and everything will be done by the people below to fight.
Not only did you break your promise, but now your real body is here too. What do you want to do?"
Amur stared at the blurry shadow, which was just a condensed divine consciousness. For a moment, he was really speechless.
"Those few people almost killed my disciples. If they were not from your Tingyun Country, I hope you can make way this time. Next time, you can break your promise and enter here once!"
"No, I will never break my promise! If you were a step late, I would have killed this clone of yours.
However, since you have said so much, I will give you a favor and let you take your clone and get out of the Yunlan Mountains.
This is just the first time. If you dare to let your clone enter here again, we will either go to war again or I will kill your clone myself!"
"Humph, are you threatening me? So what if we start a war? Can you gain any advantage from it?"
Amur's voice became increasingly cold. He already suspected that those young monks were sent by the other party.
As long as they were familiar with Tielianggu's character, they would be able to set an ambush and plot against him.
The blurry figure did not speak this time, but just stood there quietly, staring at Amur silently. For a moment, the whole world became silent, depressing and dull.
After a long while, Amur let out a long breath.
Then he stretched out his hand into the air, and suddenly, a huge hand that turned into substance reached down and grabbed a middle-aged man in an icy black robe.
Amur snorted heavily in his nose, then flew towards the north without looking back.
Amur was not afraid of the other party. The other party was just a phantom formed by spiritual consciousness, which he could easily shatter.
But after doing this, the opponent's real body will come in an instant.
By then, not to mention that he would have time to capture those little monks, a war with Tingyun Kingdom might break out immediately.
What's more important is that the soul of the clone he had spent countless efforts to condense was seriously injured, and the poisonous insects in his body needed to be removed immediately.
Otherwise, with the Shuiyun Beast's soul injured, it would be unable to heal itself and his body might suffer irreversible damage.
After weighing the pros and cons, Amur chose to be tolerant for the time being. However, he already had a plan in mind. He would take revenge after returning this time and send people to sneak into Tingyun Country. No matter if it took ten or even dozens of years, he would hunt down several core disciples of the other party.
After Amur left, the blurry figure in the air did not disappear immediately, but continued to stay there.
"This old ghost has actually refined an avatar silently, and he almost concealed it.
As the strength of this clone grows, his original body's strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds. When he is caught off guard, he will definitely suffer a great loss.
This time, the clone suffered a serious injury and its soul was in turmoil, which allowed me to sense a familiar breath. Otherwise, I would not have known about this matter.
If I had known that my real body had come here earlier, I would have had a great chance of preventing him from taking this clone away. I really miscalculated this time..."
The blurry figure was in deep thought, feeling annoyed that he had missed such a good opportunity.
With just this wisp of spiritual consciousness, he was no match for Amur's real body.
By the time his real body arrives, the other party will definitely have left with his clone.
Then, his eyes turned to the south, which was the way Li Yan left.
“A human cultivator who was able to severely injure Amur’s clone and has a third-level demon beast as his pet, this is not a disciple that can be cultivated by any small sect.
This time, I was really lucky for them, because they found out where the old ghost Amur was hiding. Since you are also enemies of the Tianlan tribe, I won’t delve into his origins…”
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and his figure disintegrated.
The cultivators who came to the Yunlan Mountains for training were very diverse. Most of them came for the rich materials for alchemy and refining in the Yunlan Mountains and grasslands.
There will be many disciples from big sects or big families here, and Tingyun Kingdom also does not want to get into trouble.
As long as the other party is not killing their monks intentionally, they don't want to pursue the matter if they kill each other in occasional conflicts.
Having a powerful opponent is already a headache enough, why create more enemies
Li Yan and the others had no idea what was happening behind them.
After flying at lightning speed for three days in one breath while controlling the magic weapon and not feeling anyone chasing him, Li Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, it was less than a day's journey to the southern edge of the Yunlan Mountains.
Li Yan finally slowed down his speed. During the past few days, he had been flying so recklessly that he encountered many cultivators and monsters.
However, after those cultivators sensed that there were three Jindan cultivators on the flying magic weapon, most of them gave up the idea of robbing or stopping them.
Some other teams who thought they were stronger than Li Yan and his two companions did chase after them, but had no choice but to give up after chasing for a while.
They did not have any flying magic weapon like "Cloud-Piercing Willow", and under Li Yan's powerful spiritual sense, most of them were avoided far away.
The rest, under Li Yan's full-speed flight, passed through them.
Occasionally, a single monk who is good at flying might be able to catch up, but if he is alone, it would be difficult for him to defeat three Jindan monks. Even if he wins, he might end up making things difficult for others.
In this regard, I gave up chasing.
Along the way, Zikun and Qianji did not return to the "Earth Spot". The two demons' spiritual senses kept scanning the surroundings.
They have not seen the outside world for decades, especially this is an unfamiliar foreign continent. The two demons have been whispering to each other with excitement on their faces.
"No one has been chasing us for so long, so we should be alright!"
Li Yan still did not let his guard down. After three consecutive days of flying at full speed, he was already exhausted.
“The middle-aged man in black robe should be one of the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Tianlan clan.
According to the information obtained during the soul search, they and the Nascent Soul cultivators of Tingyun Country are not allowed to enter the Yunlan Mountains, so there are so many mid- and low-level cultivators fighting here."
Zhao Min stood beside Li Yan, as graceful as a jade, still exuding an endless coldness.
"Well, even though I said that, I can only feel relieved after entering Yunting Country!"
Li Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. At this moment, he was even more careful. With his temperament, the more he got to this point, the more he would not take it lightly.
"What should we do next?"
“After entering Tingyun Country, first see if they are too hostile to foreign monks.
If it is not as difficult as Tianlan Grassland, then find a market to buy a map and ask for ways to leave Qingqing Continent.
Otherwise, you need to leave Tingyun Kingdom quickly!
As for whether to send the Giant Tree Tribe back, or let them go back on their own like Meng Zhiyuan did, let’s wait and see.”
Li Yan thought about it and realized that the purpose of their coming here was to find a way to return, but at the same time they also wanted to get the "Wood Spirit Pool" mentioned by Aguxi.
The other party said that the pool water, which was formed by the essence of the ten thousand year old spiritual tree, would also attract Nascent Soul cultivators. Only then did Li Yan take the risk to lead them out of Tianlan Grassland.
Later, Li Yan had to consider whether to escort Aguxi and his group back personally, to prevent these old, weak and disabled soldiers from being killed on the road, and all his hard work would be in vain.
He also thought of what Aguxi said at the end. Aguxi wanted to go back to the tribe to ask why no one had come to inquire about the news of their seven tribes for such a long time.
It is strange in itself that they just ignore it, especially since it is impossible for all seven races to be like this.
Aguxi's words also woke Li Yan up. Even though the Giant Tree Clan was not far away, he had to find out some information first.
