Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not chase after them. He looked down at Hu Yun, the old turtle and the big bluefish beside the boat, and said nothing. He continued to look up and watch, frowning in thought.
In just a few breaths, the light in the sky had disappeared, at least the people in Chunhui Mansion could no longer see it. Only Bai Qi could see the light in the distant sky fading away.
In the sky, Ji Yuan was flying rapidly on his flying sword, but he had no intention of flying to the front to block the way. It would be like driving a car in front of someone who was obviously in a hurry, so Ji Yuan planned to go upstream and gradually get closer.
The height of the glow in the sky was farther than expected, but Ji Yuan's escape light was also very fast, and an ascending parabolic trajectory approached the glow in the sky.
When they reached the right distance, Ji Yuan could already feel the immortal spirit in the glow of the sunset glow. It was indeed the work of a group of immortal cultivators.
Among the rays of light in the sky, the six in the front are the most dazzling. These six rays of light dominate all the brilliance in the sky, almost spreading out their Taoist aura to cover the area behind them, causing the speed of the rays of light behind them to be increased to a height that can keep up.
These six rays of light are actually six immortal cultivators standing on colorful clouds. They appear to be both men and women of different ages.
Suddenly, an old man in the middle had an idea and looked diagonally behind him. Then the next moment, the other five people also turned their heads and looked in the same direction.
Although they couldn't see anything there for the time being, and sometimes even the vast clouds and fog blocked their view, they could clearly sense a faint and sharp force approaching.
brush…
A sword light broke through the clouds. Although it was still far away, it was approaching rapidly, and its direction was exactly in front of the six people.
"What a fast sword light! Is there any powerful immortal mansion, sect or immortal cultivator here?"
The glow of the sunset did not stop. The old man in the middle spoke softly and asked those around him. Hearing his question, a woman next to him thought for a moment and said.
"This place is a small country in the south of Yunzhou, but if we talk about the immortal palace sect, there is indeed one, which should be in the vicinity. It seems to be called... Yuhuai Mountain?"
"Yu Huaishan doesn't seem to be famous for his sword skills, right?"
"Even so, it's not surprising that there are powerful sword cultivators in the sect."
Another old man thought about it.
"As far as I know, Yuhuai Mountain is not a sect-type immortal residence. There is no headmaster-like figure in it. It is considered that each branch has blossomed. It is possible that there are powerful sword cultivators."
"Everyone, please be patient, the man is coming."
As the words fell, the six of them fell silent. The speed of the flying clouds remained unchanged, but the other immortal cultivators who were flying also began to discover Ji Yuan's sword light one after another.
When Ji Yuan looked around at this moment, he saw dazzling brilliance everywhere, as dazzling as the colorful clouds in the sky, and with various colors. After he caught up, he put away the magic sword and approached on the clouds to show his peace.
The surrounding rays of light did not stop Ji Yuan. Instead, everyone looked curiously at the white-shirted guest who came on the clouds. Many people watched him as if examining him, but suddenly realized that they could only see the person but not his aura, and immediately realized that the visitor had a very high level of cultivation.
It was the first time in Ji Yuan’s life that he saw so many immortal cultivators, and they were the kind that could perform levitation techniques and fly together.
The faces of these immortal cultivators were either curious or serious, either indifferent or simply ignoring. Many of them were not walking on clouds or just riding the wind, but were standing on something with a halo, as if it was a ray of colorful clouds. No wonder it was so gorgeous and dazzling.
Ji Yuan stepped on a white cloud and approached the six people in the front who were about four or five feet apart from each other. The six people were also looking at Ji Yuan. The old man in the middle spoke before Ji Yuan was about to open his mouth.
"May I ask where you are from? We are cultivators from Xianxia Island and have important matters to attend to. We apologize for disturbing you."
The sky was full of colorful lights and rosy clouds. No wonder it was called Xianxia Island. Ji Yuan went over this thought in his mind and bowed slightly above the clouds. Although the other party did not make any salute gesture with his hands, this kind of etiquette had almost become a conditioned reflex for Ji Yuan.
"Hello, fellow Taoists from Xianxia Island. My last name is Ji. I do not belong to any sect. I am just a local drinking tea downstairs. I saw the colorful clouds in the sky and came to see what happened. If it is convenient, can you please talk to me?"
Among the locals, only Ji Yuan would probably say this, but the cultivators from Xianxia Island did not pay attention to such details. Seeing that Ji Yuan's cultivation was unfathomable and his behavior was polite, a woman next to him first returned the greeting and then spoke.
"One of our branches on Xianxia Island encountered a vein of evil energy pouring out. When they tried to seal it, it attracted many evil demons. They are still fighting with them now. We are rushing to help them."
"how far?"
Ji Yuan asked this question almost subconsciously. The cultivator from Xianxia Island looked at Ji Yuan again and again. Although his power and divine light were not obvious, the clear and harmonious aura around his body still proved that he was a correct cultivator.
"It's still about 100,000 miles away, so it's a long way to go."
Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment, looked down in the direction of Chunhui Mansion and Chunmu River, and then made a decision in his heart. Whether from his sense of mission or curiosity, such opportunities are not common, so he said to the monks in front of him.
"Since the immortal cultivator has been taken advantage of by the demons while sealing off the evil spirits in the earth veins, if you don't mind, could you allow me to go with you and do my best to help?"
The strong wind brought by the rapid pace was still tearing around the rosy clouds. The six cultivators from Xianxia Island looked at each other, and some of them looked at Ji Yuan frequently, and fixed their eyes on the spiritual fairy sword behind him.
This person is obviously a sword cultivator, or rather, an immortal cultivator who has sword skills and decent skills. After all, he has the immortal sword to rely on, and the killing power of this kind of immortal cultivator is extremely strong.
Although the cultivators of Xianxia Island believed that they were strong enough for this trip, since this fellow Taoist had shown goodwill, what followed would also be a good relationship.
So the old man in the middle also returned the greeting.
"Since you have such good intentions, please come with us!"
The other five monks from Xianxia Island who led the monks also saluted to express their gratitude. One of them, who looked like a Confucian scholar in the middle, felt that his attire was most similar to Ji Yuan's, and spoke at this moment.
"In that case, fellow Daoist, please come closer to my Xiaguang Formation. Well, I hope you will not resist the Xiaguang Formation's inspection."
Ji Yuan understood. It turned out that this group of immortal cultivators had set up a formation at this moment. They could set up a formation while flying. It was indeed extraordinary.
"Haha, Ji has no intention of resisting at all."
Ji Yuan smiled and flew towards the six people on the cloud. Then the cloud was swept by the rosy clouds, and there was nothing unusual except the feeling of a breeze on the face. He soon flew to the side of the man dressed as a Confucian scholar.
When the others saw Ji Yuan entered the rosy glow array so nonchalantly and without any other reaction, they let down their guard a little and secretly re-examined Ji Yuan.
As soon as he stepped into the range of the so-called rosy glow formation, Ji Yuan found that riding the cloud saved a lot of effort. He didn't need to use too much magic power to maintain a steady and fast speed while flying.
But think about it, the people from Xianxia Island flew over to provide assistance. If they consumed too much mana on the journey, they would be exhausted when they arrived.
In any case, since the Xiaguang Formation had no reaction to Ji Yuan, everyone stopped thinking about it for the time being. The immortal cultivators from Xianxia Island in the back were a little curious about the cultivator who had just arrived, but apart from whispering to each other in the back, there was no other reaction. The team once again resumed its quiet flight.
The man dressed as a Confucian scholar next to Ji Yuan bowed slightly to Ji Yuan.
"I am Chang Yi from Xianxia Island. You are dressed similarly to me, so I will not call you Taoist friend. I will just call you Mr. Ji."
Ji Yuan also bowed in return.
"My name is Ji Yuan. Sorry to bother you! To be honest, everyone I know calls me that."
Chang Yi smiled and nodded, his eyes swept over the Qingteng Sword behind Ji Yuan, and asked.
"Is there a Soul Pregnant Immortal Sword behind Mr. Ji?"
The Qingteng Sword swung at an angle and moved behind Ji Yuan, and Ji Yuan nodded in response.
"It is indeed a magical sword."
The hilt of this immortal sword was actually wrapped with vines, with tender buds at both ends. There were also a small amount of vines growing on the sword body. With its restrained edge, it looked lush and green, full of vitality.
But this is an immortal sword after all. The more it does not have the slightest trace of sword energy, the more powerful it will be once it is unsheathed.
"I have heard of Xianxia Island for a long time, but I have never seen it. Today, I happened to see it."
Ji Yuan also took the opportunity to ask about Xianxia Island.
The two chatted with each other. During the conversation between Chang Yi and Ji Yuan, the immortal cultivators next to them would occasionally interject and say a few words, so they were familiar with each other.
For Ji Yuan, who is obviously a great immortal, it is a little absurd for him to live in a small county on earth without any sect or school. If someone else said it, the cultivators on Xianxia Island might not believe it, but Ji Yuan's clear and bright aura made him convincing.
What surprised them even more was that Chang Yi suddenly discovered that Ji Yuan had been blind for a long time, and this was confirmed by Ji Yuan himself. This was incredible for an immortal cultivator.
After all, through various magical means, it is not impossible to regenerate severed fingers, and it is also possible to restore the sight of eyes, but Ji Yuan's eyes are blind, so there must be some force majeure factors involved.
Ji Yuan also found out in the end that these six were the six elders of Xianxia Island. There were actually three hundred cultivators under their command this time, which was an extremely large number for cultivators. What's more, they were cultivators from Xianxia Island, and almost everyone of them had a good cultivation base.
Perhaps because of the influence of Ji Yuan's arrival, the monks from Xianxia Island then deliberately cast a spell to cover up the rosy clouds in the sky. Although Ji Yuan still looked gorgeous in the rosy clouds, nothing could be seen from the ground.
Flying rapidly day and night without sleep, the mountains, rivers, countries and towns below changed again and again, and finally after about ten days, they arrived at the northeastern part of Yunzhou. A towering mountain appeared in front of them. It should have been daytime at this moment, but on the other side of the mountain it was completely dark with no stars or moon.
And in the direction of the deep mountains, there was a faint light flickering in the darkness.
"Here we are!"
The leading elder had a solemn expression on his face as he looked at Ji Yuandao who had come to his side.
"Mr. Ji, please lend me the power of your magic sword to break through the fog!"
“As it should be.”
Ji Yuan responded with this while grabbing the hilt of the Qingteng Sword with his right hand. At this time, the imperial edict on the scabbard appeared, and the word "hide" immediately disappeared.
next moment.
“Zheng——”
As the sword rang, the blazing white sword light, carrying with it an infinite and sharp sword energy, slashed vertically towards the moon with the force of sweeping across the world.
Wherever it passed, the rolling black fog melted like snow to the left and right.
"Everyone, follow me to slay the demons and monsters!"
The next moment, the rays of light suddenly became brighter and flew over the mountains.
