Chapter 337 Escape

"Next, fellow Taoists, you can go back and rest. When the sacred beast has completed its spiritual body reconstruction, I will personally lead the team with the two great immortal masters to capture the foreigner."

The silver-robed woman's bright eyes moved slightly, and then she calmly announced to everyone present.

The Tuowu immortal masters in the square naturally had no objection, and they all bowed respectfully and took their leave.

However, there were still some people who were so curious that they couldn't help but take a closer look at the giant tripod.

Soon after, the silver-robed woman and two great immortal masters were the only ones left in the entire forbidden area.

"Friend Xu, Immortal Master Sun! I ask you two to serve as guardians for the next two days and ensure that the sacred beast does not encounter any accidents during the process of recasting its spirit body in the cauldron."

Saint Tianlan turned to face the two beautiful women and spoke in a calm tone.

"Of course. We both don't want to see our hard work over the past decade go to waste."

The beautiful woman agreed without hesitation. The handsome young man did not say anything, but just nodded slightly.

The woman in silver robe felt a little relieved, and at this moment, a low roar like thunder faintly came from the giant cauldron.

The silver-robed woman's face turned stern, and then she exchanged glances with her two companions, and immediately sat cross-legged around the altar in a serious manner.

Two days later, a series of melodious and pleasant bells rang out from the Tianlan branch temple.

The envoys from various tribes and low-level cultivators who had not yet left the area all looked towards the direction of the temple in surprise.

From behind the temple, dozens of rays of light broke through the air and transformed into a string of beautiful and dazzling lights, rushing towards the southern sky at full speed.

Although the escaping light moved at an extremely fast speed, making it difficult to distinguish which immortals were among them, such a shocking flying speed was obviously not something that low-level cultivators could possess.

This scene caused many onlookers to exclaim in amazement.

These powerful lights did not stop at all and rushed all the way to the south.

……

After three days of hard searching, we finally found it on a wide stretch of water at the southern end of the Tianshui River, the largest river in Tianlan Grassland.

A ray of light like a green rainbow broke through the air, and after flying a long circle, a fiery red monster with the head of an ox and the body of a dragon suddenly appeared in front of people.

Although this monster is not huge, only three or four meters long, its entire body is wrapped in a layer of light green light, making it look a little blurry and mysterious.

Above the monster's bull head, Saint Tianlan stood in the air with her clothes fluttering, her bright eyes moving around as she carefully observed the situation in front of her.

A moment later, when rays of light began to bloom one after another in the sky, among all the figures riding swords and wind, the most prominent ones were the great immortal masters who shouldered heavy responsibilities.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, has the Holy Beast found the person who carried the large number of gold-eating bugs?"

The first one to ask was the purple-haired beautiful woman.

"It should be correct. Since this person is carrying so many gold-eating bugs, even if they are hidden in the spirit beast bag, it is difficult to escape the keen perception of the holy beast."

"This person just left here not long ago, he must be not far ahead."

"This person is so cunning that he actually chose to sneak into the river and leave quietly."

"No wonder so many people failed to discover his whereabouts. Let's hurry forward as soon as possible."

The silver-robed woman answered confidently.

"Very good. I am also looking forward to seeing with my own eyes whether this person is really the elder of Yinluo Sect."

"Even though he was unfortunately hit by Brother Hu's Great Five Elements Immortal Capture Technique, he was still able to remain safe and sound. It is really incredible."

"Xu is also eager to compete with him in magical powers."

The handsome young man said coldly.

"I heard that this person is very young and looks ordinary."

"I will go there in person to investigate and see who this so-called powerful person is."

The purple-haired beautiful woman said leisurely.

"Since both of you are so enthusiastic about this matter, let's set off immediately."

The woman in silver robe smiled slightly, with silver lines flashing on her forehead, and she communicated respectfully with the monster with the head of an ox and the body of a dragon under her feet in an ancient language.

Then, the monster let out a low snort, and then turned into a ball of green light, rushing forward on its own.

When the remaining practitioners saw this scene, they hurriedly followed.

This time, they only traveled about four or five hundred miles along the Tianshui River before they encountered an area where the riverbed was noticeably narrower.

Immediately afterwards, a blood-red shadow suddenly appeared under the water in the distance. After the blood-red light flashed continuously, the suspicious person immediately disappeared without a trace.

"This is not good! The foreigner seems to have sensed something and used a secret technique to escape from the scene. Now he has appeared hundreds of miles away."

"This person's spiritual awareness is so strong that it is truly astonishing."

"It seems that this mission is indeed quite challenging. Fellow Taoists are acting too slowly. The three of us will go ahead and intercept the enemy."

"If he becomes alert, it will be more difficult to track him next time."

When the handsome young man and the purple-haired beautiful woman hurried over, the Saint Tianlan made a decisive decision.

The other two naturally had no objection and immediately sent a sound transmission note to their companions who were slightly behind in the rear.

After briefly explaining the situation, the three of them chased after him at full speed without hesitation.

Even at such a long distance, no one could rely on spiritual sense to lock onto the location of the foreigner.

But relying on the mysterious magical powers possessed by the holy beast's clones, these three masters always followed Chen Yun closely.

No matter how the other party tries to evade, they can adjust direction in time and resume tracking.

This chase lasted for a whole day and night, although each time the three of them were successfully thrown thousands of miles away by Chen Yun using the Blood Shadow Escape Technique.

But soon after, they will adjust their direction and continue to pursue.

As for Chen Yun, he had been forced to use the method of unblocking three times in a row, but he still could not get rid of the entanglement of these three people. He couldn't help feeling extremely frustrated.

"Senior, I have used tricks to get away from these abrupt people several times, but every time, they were able to track me down accurately in just a moment."

Chen Yun's face was as pale as snow, full of doubt and anxiety, and his voice was unconsciously trembling:

"Could it be that there really is a method in the world that is more powerful than the Great Evolution Technique to strengthen spiritual awareness, and can detect things thousands of miles away?"

At this moment, Chen Yun was in the unblocked state. His whole body turned into a dazzling green rainbow, rushing in the air like lightning.

After unsealing it three times in succession and using the Blood Shadow Escape technique which consumed a lot of his energy several times, his body was already shaky and in danger.

If he had not relied on several high-level secret techniques to forcibly suppress the backlash of his skills, and had not taken more than ten drops of extremely precious thousand-year-old spiritual milk to replenish his blood and essence, he would have collapsed to the ground by now.

Even so, after completing the practice and lifting the seal, without two or three years of careful recuperation, the magic power will definitely not be able to recover to its peak state.

If an ordinary cultivator encountered such a situation, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would be demoted to a lower level.

To make matters worse, in such a dire situation, there is an immortal cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage chasing after him. The danger and crisis are beyond words.

What's even more troublesome is that before figuring out the reason for the other party's precise tracking, he no longer dared to use the Blood Shadow Escape easily.

After all, if you are not careful, you may not be able to get rid of the enemy, but instead suffer the backlash of your martial arts and destroy half of your life.

"Humph! Although I am fully confident in the effectiveness of the Great Evolution Technique in strengthening spiritual consciousness, I would never dare to boast and call it the best in the world of immortal cultivation."

Dayan Divine Lord snorted coldly, his tone was quite impolite:
"From ancient times to the present, there have been people with talents better than this old man. Although there are not many, they are not rare either."

"It's not surprising that there are techniques that are more exquisite and powerful than this one!"

"However, the reason they are chasing you so closely this time is not because someone has locked onto you with divine sense from thousands of miles away, but because you are being targeted by something inhuman."

"An inhuman thing? Senior, are you talking about that monster?"

After being enlightened by Lord Dayan, Chen Yun suddenly came to his senses.

"Yes, don't you think the monster behind you looks familiar?"

"It is exactly the same as the Tianlan sacred beast described by Tuwu Fan."

"Most likely, those old guys in the Holy Temple couldn't bring themselves to accept the fact that you killed so many high-level immortal masters, so they specially summoned this thing from the upper realm."

"It's not surprising that a being that is not from the human world like this can have the magical power to lock onto you."

Dayan God Lord reminded.

"The Tianlan Holy Beast? Of course I noticed it, but the mana fluctuations of this thing are not strong."

"It's only around level seven, far behind the Mulan people's sacred bird."

"Can it really have such magical powers?"

Chen Yun's brows were tightly furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, his face full of suspicion.

"Hey, I also heard you talk about the battle between you and the Mulan people."

"The holy bird summoned by the Mulan people obviously used the power of the treasure to draw down part of the power of the spiritual bird in the upper world, and took shape in this world out of thin air. In the final analysis, it is just an illusion."

Dayan Divine Lord paused, his expression became more serious, and continued:
"As for the demon beast following behind us, I have carefully sensed it and it is undoubtedly a real entity."

"If so, it is very likely that this Tianlan beast has used a magical power similar to that of the ancient demons, using other demon beasts or media to allow itself to descend into this world."

"Don't underestimate this method. This kind of summoning is the real arrival of an avatar. Its magical power is extraordinary. As long as it is given enough time, it will soon become the most terrifying existence in this world."

"As far as I know, similar situations of the arrival of beings from the upper realm have already occurred several times in this world."

"It's just that these guys seem to be afraid of something. They keep a low profile on weekdays, and it's hard for ordinary cultivators to find them."

"There are such strange things in our human world."

Chen Yun gritted his teeth, his face full of helplessness and anxiety:
"But I don't have time to study this matter in detail right now. Regardless of whether it is a demon beast or a holy beast, do you have any way to help me escape from being tracked?"

"Otherwise, when the lockdown is lifted, it will be really fatal."

As he spoke, Chen Yun swept his spiritual sense far back, and sure enough, the three people and the beast behind him appeared in the sensing range again, and his feeling of anxiety became stronger.

"There are many exotic beasts and birds in the upper realm. Who knows what kind of magical power this thing uses to target you."

"Your skill of holding your breath is quite perfect in my opinion. At the moment, it seems that there is no other way except to kill this beast."

Dayan God shook his head slightly and gave a cold answer:

"However, I can temporarily teach you a simple method of faking death, which will allow your body to completely hide its vitality."

"But I am not completely sure whether it will work. After all, the monster may not track you by scent."

Chen Yun remained silent upon hearing this, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. After a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay! Then kill this beast!"

"You want to kill the Tianlan Holy Beast first? I'm afraid it's not that easy. This thing has two Tuwu people's great immortal masters guarding it."

"The masked woman at the end has the cultivation base of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. She must be Saint Tianlan. Her magical powers are naturally not to be underestimated."

Dayan God was slightly startled and tried to dissuade him.

"If I don't pay a price, my chances will be slim. But if I sacrifice my second Nascent Soul, I am not without a chance of winning."

Chen Yun's voice was as cold as ice, revealing a resolute and sinister tone.

"Master, what are you going to do? I am willing to come out and lend a hand to you."

Yin Yue spoke at the right time, her tone firm.

"How is your injury? Can you hold on with only your weapon spirit body?"

Chen Yun was stunned and asked slowly.

"I am the spirit of my master's life-saving magic weapon. No matter how badly injured I am, as long as my master's flying sword is not destroyed, I will be immortal."

"Master, you don't need to worry about me. At most, after this, I will sleep in your magic weapon for a few more years."

Yin Yue smiled gently, full of carefree and fearlessness.

"Well, the situation is really bad right now, so I'll trouble you again this time."

Chen Yun thought for a moment and sighed helplessly.

Afterwards, Chen Yun asked Dayan God for the secret of fake death, and studied it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he took a deep breath and reached out to slowly touch the top of his head.

In an instant, a black light flashed, and the second Yuanying slowly appeared above his head. It opened its little mouth and spit out the eerie and strange Ghost Banner.

Chen Yun held the Guiluo Banner in his hand, shook it vigorously, and jumped into the air.

In the blink of an eye, dark clouds gathered, winds arose, and black clouds over a hundred feet high covered the sky like ink. The rolling demonic energy surged and covered the sky and the sun.

"Take this. If Saint Tianlan comes after you with the sacred beast, use this sword to kill it!"

Chen Yun spoke grimly and raised his hand. A small blood-red sword flew into the magic cloud like a meteor chasing the moon and disappeared without a trace. It was the incomparably sharp Blood Demon Sword.

Then, the demonic cloud let out a piercing scream, and with a rolling momentum, it flew away to one side with a loud bang, with a huge momentum and extremely terrifying. (End of this chapter)
