Ji Yuan's escape speed is certainly not comparable to Shang Yiyi or even her master Yang Ming. Ji Yuan can follow as closely as the flying sword can go. And with Ji Yuan's spellcasting, even if there are many restrictions that have not been released, the flying sword's escape speed is still not much slower than when it came.
Not long after, Ji Yuan had brought Shang Yiyi past the place where they had stayed before, and soon arrived at the place where Master Zi Yu roared unwillingly.
Here, the flying sword's trajectory changed for a while, and it seemed rather messy, and there was even a shaking pause where Zi Yu actually shot out the flying sword.
But looking at the trajectory of the flying sword, combined with Shang Yiyi's previous statement, Ji Yuan had already imagined in his mind how Master Zi Yu had used the flying sword here before. Judging from the fact that the spiritual charm of the flying sword was broken before, it was likely that the blood-stained jade pendant was also stained with the blood from the tip of the tongue, which helped the flying sword escape.
"Mr. Ji, Master..."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Ji Yuan comforted Shang Yiyi and continued to use his escape method to move westwards, closely following the flying sword, which to a certain extent concealed the flying sword's own aura.
Although Yangming might not be able to accurately find the direction from which the flying sword came, Ji Yuan believed that it would be right to follow the trajectory of the flying sword. If Yangming went there, Ji Yuan would naturally be able to come to his aid. If Yangming did not go there, then Yangming should not be in any danger.
However, they flew from day to night, and until most of the night had passed, the speed of the Purple Jade Flying Sword had gradually slowed down, but Monk Ji Yuan still hadn't seen Master Yangming, and there was no extra aura revealed, as if Master Yangming had disappeared.
Shang Yiyi could not hide the worry on her face.
"Mr. Ji, there are many mountains here. Is there any powerful monster hiding among them?"
"No, on the contrary, there must be a great immortal formation set up in the mountains. Perhaps it is a place for cultivation."
Shang Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
"Mr. Ji, what you mean is that my master might be a guest at this temple? Maybe he has rescued Master Ziyu?"
In Shang Yiyi's opinion, the purple jade flying sword released by Mr. Ji's spell should be following the traces of its master, so when it came to this place which should be the dojo of the immortals, there must be people from the righteous way helping out. Master and Great Immortal Purple Jade must also be here. She is willing to think so and believes that this possibility is very high.
But Shang Yiyi didn't know how the method of returning to the track worked. The Purple Jade Flying Sword could only return along its previous trajectory and would not automatically track its master. In other words, True Man Zi Yu had started to escape from here, but now the flying sword encountered the obstruction of the Xiandao Mountain Gate formation and the method of returning to the track was interrupted.
So there was no joy on Ji Yuan's face. Without hearing Mr. Ji's response, the joy on Shang Yiyi's face also faded.
"Mr. Ji..."
Ji Yuan glanced at Shang Yiyi, revealed a relieved smile, and said the same words of comfort.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
When Ji Yuan was speaking, two beams of light happened to fly out from the distant mountains. Although it was a bit obscure, Ji Yuan still saw it at a glance. He directly controlled the magic cloud and instantly flew to the path of the two beams of light.
The two immortal cultivators who were escaping in the light suddenly saw Fayun appear in front of them without any warning. They were shocked and stopped, floating in the air looking at the newcomers. They saw that it was a cultivator in green and a female cultivator in white.
"My two Taoist friends, why are you blocking our way?"
Ji Yuan looked at the two of them and did not directly answer their questions. Instead, he pointed to the distant direction where the two's escape light first appeared.
"What mountain gate is ahead?"
The two immortal cultivators looked at each other and couldn't help but frown. The man in front of them was so rude, but the man who spoke before still answered patiently.
"The front is Yuling Mountain, which is a secluded sect that does not fight with the world. It may not be well-known outside, but it has a lot of heritage. If you want to visit the Yuling Sect, you will not be able to enter by going this way. You must first send a visiting card and wait for a response from the people of the Yuling Sect before you can go."
Ji Yuan turned his gaze back to the person who spoke and nodded.
"I guess you two are not from the Yuling Sect. Then, if the Yuling Sect is secluded, why did it attract you to go there?"
The person who had answered earlier was about to speak, but he heard the person next to him snort coldly.
"You are so rude. Why do we need you to care about what we are going to do? Just go to Yuling Sect by yourself. We have things to do, so I won't say more to you. Brother, let's go."
The people around didn't want to say more. They didn't even bow to Ji Yuan. They just walked around Ji Yuan's Fayun and left. Ji Yuan stood in the distance without moving, just looking at the Yuling Sect in the distance.
"Mr. Ji, should we send a visiting card?"
Seeing that Ji Yuan had not taken any action for a long time, Shang Yiyi could not help but ask a question, but Ji Yuan gave a negative answer.
"No, we can just go there directly."
"But you can't get in like this..."
As she spoke, Shang Yiyi hesitated for a moment, but still spoke with gritted teeth.
"Mr. Ji, I remember when I first met you, you said that if I encountered difficulties, you would try your best to help me once. I hope Mr...."
"rest assured."
Ji Yuan interrupted Shang Yiyi and looked at her with a gentle smile.
"Saving your master was Ji's own wish. Also, don't use up Ji's promise so easily. Use it for something like this that I will do my best to do even if you don't ask."
Shang Yiyi and Ji Yuan have not had many contacts together, let alone spent a long time together, so she doesn't know Ji Yuan's temper. If someone who is familiar with Ji Yuan is here, they will know that Ji Yuan is already angry, but he just didn't show it obviously in front of Shang Yiyi, his junior.
Ji Yuan now knew clearly that True Man Zi Yu was in the Yuling Sect, and True Man Yang Ming was most likely also in the Yuling Sect. Of course, it was impossible for them to be invited in peacefully. Moreover, Ji Yuan had a vague sense of something special here, which turned out to be a trace of his sword intent.
Of course it is impossible that the Qingteng Sword flew here secretly by itself. It can only be that someone who has been injured by the Immortal Sword is here.
In the sky behind Ji Yuan, the two flying monks suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky, only to find that dark clouds were gathering in the sky, covering most of the starry sky in a short time.
The two of them subconsciously slowed down their escape and looked back into the distance.
"Brother, I feel like something is not right."
"So what should we do? Should we go take a look?"
“Go and have a look!”
These two seemed to be people who were looking for trouble. As soon as the light of escape stopped, they thought of turning back. At this time, Ji Yuan had already taken Shang Yiyi to a high altitude deep in the mountains.
This time, Ji Yuan did not intend to use courtesy before force. With a thought, he pointed his sword to the sky, and the Qingteng Sword behind him moved as he heard the command.
“Zheng—”
The clear sound of a sword resounded through the sky, and a ray of sword light streaked across the sky and pierced into the clouds, while Ji Yuan below pointed his sword downwards.
In an instant, the clouds in the sky changed color.
"Boom..."
The Green Ivy Sword gathered thousands of rays of light, thunderclouds rolled in the sky, and lightning flashed wherever the sight could be seen. On the ground, the mountain flowers no longer swayed, and the mountain breeze no longer blew, as if all air flows were prohibited.
A terrifying and suffocating pressure was generated in the sky. With the sword light in the sky as a point, it seemed to affect everything in the sky. The sword was about to fall, and the sky was about to collapse...
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The mountains were shaking, or rather, the immortal gate formation in the mountains was shaking. The formation's concealment method seemed to have lost its effect. Streams of light overflowed and gradually emerged among the mountains, like a huge, constantly shaking bubble.
In the Yuling Sect, cultivators everywhere had a sense of palpitations, and no matter whether they were standing on the ground or flying in the sky, they all felt unstable.
But some people who are drinking tea or standing by the water will find that it is calm when they look at the cup or the water surface, but the depression in their hearts becomes stronger and stronger.
At a certain moment, everyone looked up at the sky and saw that the mountain protection formation had appeared and seemed to be in a precarious situation.
The mountain protection formation gives people the feeling that it is as fragile as bubbles in a storm, as if it can be blown away.
The sky was dim, but in this dim sky there were lightning and thunder, and a terrifying sword intent that made people's hearts pierce, as if it could penetrate the mountain protection formation, and unimaginable terrifying power also fell from the sky.
At this moment, the extremely bright lights of Fenglei Tiangang and Tianming all followed the infinite edge of the immortal sword in the sky and continued to press down...
Ji Yuan's Tianqing Sword Force is an astounding sword technique that moves with momentum. The power of using the momentum of heaven is beyond description. The so-called mountain gate formation is set up in a fixed place. Mana and spiritual energy are only secondary. It is also a kind of use of momentum. Tianqing Sword Force has not yet unleashed the power of this sword, but the momentum of heaven and earth alone has already made the mountain gate formation unstable.
All the masters of the Yuling Sect were awakened and came out from everywhere. There were more than a dozen rays of light that increased their magic power and flew into the sky under infinite pressure. Leading the way was a white-haired old woman. As soon as she arrived outside the mountain gate, she saw the monk Ji Yuan in the sky and shouted at them in shock and anger.
"The green vine is hanging in the air, a sword is tilting the sky, the sword force is tilting the sky! Are you Ji Yuan?"
