Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Several figures flew by in the sky. These people did not go deep into the Northern Wilderness, but searched in all directions, as if they were looking for something.
"Brother Xue, we have been searching for several days, but there is still no news about them. Could they have left?" The burly man looked at the man not far away and said.
Hearing this, the man said coldly, "Impossible. When we left, we asked Wanxiang Building to pay attention to the situation in the northern part of the empire. If the two of them left, we would definitely get the news as soon as possible."
If Yang Qi and Feng Yan were here, they would definitely be able to recognize that the man and the burly guy in front of them were none other than Xue Yan and Hu Zhenshan who had escaped from the siege of Feng Yan and the Xuankong Snake.
"But this area is sparsely populated. Relying on just a few of us to search is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's not easy to find Feng Yan and Yang Qi." Hu Zhenshan said with a wry smile.
After they escaped from the Northern Wilderness, they immediately contacted the sect. Xue Yan even informed his master Liu Ren. The other dead martial masters also sent some people to form a team of dozens of people. Each of these people was a powerful warrior above the five-star martial master level.
Such a team can easily destroy second-rate forces, but a team of dozens of people is simply not worth mentioning compared to the entire Northern Wilderness.
As a result, after a few days, not only did they fail to find Yang Qi and the other person, but they themselves were attacked by monsters several times. This area is the area of mid-level Martial Lord monsters, and even those of them who are above five-star Martial Lord dare not act alone.
“We must find Feng Yan and Yang Qi this time no matter what. You should know that this time not only my master is here, but Junior Brother Gu is also here in person. As long as they are still in this area, they will never be able to escape!” Xue Yan said coldly.
Hearing Xue Yan's words, Hu Zhenshan could not help but fall silent. If Gu Xingnan had not spoken personally this time, he would not have wanted to wade into this muddy water. After all, Feng Yan and Xuankong Snake joined forces, and even a six-star martial master would be their opponent. He was only a five-star martial master. If he met Feng Yan, he would probably die. He had finally escaped death, so he naturally did not want to risk his life!
While Xue Yan and others were searching, six or seven people were resting in a forest thousands of miles away from them. Among them was a high-level martial arts master. In addition, Gu Xingnan was also among this group of people.
“Junior Brother Gu, it’s already the ninth day. If we go any further, a high-level martial arts master might appear. By that time, even I can’t guarantee your safety.” An old man in a gray robe beside Gu Xingnan said solemnly.
Hearing this, Gu Xingnan could not help but fall silent. In the past few days, they had searched all the way from the inner circle of the Northern Wasteland, but had not found any trace of Yang Qi and Feng Yan. A team of dozens of people, led by three high-level martial masters, searched alternately. Although they did not dare to say that they had thoroughly swept the nearby area, they had checked most places, but still did not find Yang Qi and Feng Yan.
Because of their unscrupulous investigation, the monsters nearby began to gather. If this continued, it would probably lead to a siege by the monster clan.
"Maybe they have already left." A look of helplessness emerged on Gu Xingnan's face.
When entering the Northern Wilderness, especially going deep into the inner area or even the depths, practitioners are very cautious. However, when leaving, there are not so many concerns. Practitioners who possess flying skills can almost just use their flying skills to leave in a swagger.
Because the further south you go, the closer you get to the Great Zhou Empire, and the more human practitioners there are, the smaller the threat from the monsters and beasts becomes, so naturally there is no need to worry about the threat from the monsters and beasts.
"Retreat!"
Gu Xingnan said in a deep voice that after several days of searching, even a mid-level martial arts master would be extremely exhausted. If they went deeper, there would likely be casualties, and it would be difficult for him to explain then.
"Okay, I'll notify Senior Brother Liu Ren and the others immediately." The gray-robed old man nodded.
"Wait."
At this moment, Gu Xingnan suddenly spoke.
The old man in gray robe was stunned and looked at Gu Xingnan with some confusion. Could it be that at this time, Gu Xingnan changed his mind and planned to continue searching
"When evacuating, let all the practitioners separate, use insects and beasts as search methods, and sweep out." Gu Xingnan said in a deep voice.
hiss~
Hearing this, the gray-robed old man couldn't help but gasp.
Gu Xingnan's behavior was crazy. After all, even if the perception range of dozens of practitioners was connected, it was only a small part of the northern part of the Great Zhou Empire bordering the Northern Wilderness. Even if insects and beasts were used as a means of communication, it was far from enough. Moreover, if they did so, the monsters would definitely not fail to react, and it might even trigger a beast tide!
Gu Xingnan did this obviously because he didn't want to give up any opportunity. Even if he had to evacuate, he would search again before giving up.
"I'll let them know." The grey-robed old man nodded slightly. Although Gu Xingnan's actions were crazy, he was valued by the master. Even if he was a high-level martial arts master, it was difficult for him to refute Gu Xingnan. Moreover, it would not consume too much energy for them to sweep out directly. At most, the speed would be slower. Therefore, the grey-robed old man did not refute.
"If you really leave, it will be my bad luck, otherwise..." Gu Xingnan sneered in his heart, and a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
…
Boom!
In the forest, a horrifying roar was heard, and an ancient demon ape several hundred feet long was seen fighting with a green figure. Every time the man and the beast fought, there was a loud roar like thunder.
"Damn cultivator!"
The ancient demon ape roared angrily, swung his arms fiercely, and smashed down towards the figure.
Bang!
With a low muffled sound, the hill in front of the Iron-Armed Demon Ape was directly hit by the huge fist shadow and exploded instantly, with countless gravel and soil splashing everywhere.
Whoosh~
A figure solidified in the air. It was Yang Qi who had left the Black Turtle Secret Realm. At this moment, he was using the Sky Demon Ancient Ape to hone his Yuan Sword Canon.
“As expected of a powerful and defensive monster, I can’t even gain the slightest advantage in a close combat.” Yang Qi’s gaze fell on the Ancient Demon Ape in the distance, and he said secretly in his heart.
The Ancient Demon Ape in front of him is not comparable to the Iron-Armed Demon Ape that was killed before. The Iron-Armed Demon Ape merely contains the blood of the Ancient Demon Ape. The two are like the difference between a cultivator with Phoenix bloodline and a real Phoenix clan member.
The physical body of the Sky Demon Ancient Ape had already reached the level of a Yuan Soldier. Even though Yang Qi's strength had greatly increased now, he could only leave some minor injuries on the Sky Demon Ancient Ape's body.
“Now that the Yuan Sword Canon has been mastered to a small extent, there is no need to tangle with him anymore.” Yang Qi’s eyes focused as he looked at the Ancient Demon Ape running towards him. The Yuanli wings behind him vibrated, and then the whole person turned into a stream of light and flew away into the distance.
"Damn human race, if it weren't for the recent arrival of a human race warrior, I would have used my bloodline martial arts to keep you." Looking at Yang Qi going away, the Sky Demon Ancient Ape growled angrily. (To be continued)
