Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
"Yi Yun! It really is you!" A furious roar filled with hatred rang in Yi Yun's ears. This voice belonged to the Myriad Gods Ancestor!
Yi Yun's heart tightened. He should have realized that the Myriad Gods Ancestor was seriously injured by the old snake. No matter where the Myriad Gods Myriad Gods Ancestor went, he would first seek out the alchemists here to heal him. He was very likely to encounter the Myriad Gods Ancestor at the Li residence.
What Yi Yun couldn't understand was that he had already used the <Star Shifting Heaven Book> to change his appearance, and Yi Yun was very confident in the <Star Shifting Heaven Book>, yet he was still recognized by the Myriad Gods Ancestor. How did he manage that?
At this point, concealing his presence was pointless. Yi Yun unleashed his full power, pushing his speed to the limit, and rushed straight out the door. He was as fast as lightning; the guards didn't even have time to react before they felt a gust of wind rush past them.
Boom!
Yi Yun rushed out of the Li residence. At the same time, a short figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the small courtyard. He was wrapped in a cloak, revealing only an old and eerie face. His eyes were bloodshot, and his crazed gaze swept across the small courtyard before suddenly turning towards the direction where Yi Yun had fled.
"It's truly a blessing from heaven that I met you here! My current predicament is all thanks to you, and you still want to escape?" The Myriad Gods Ancestor' face was twisted. Yi Yun had taken away his Kanglong Ding, and he had studied the Kanglong Ding for countless years. He would never forget the aura of the Kanglong Ding and the aura of Yi Yun, even if they were burned to ashes.
Yi Yun infiltrated the Li Family and was so close to him that he was discovered. He certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity to reclaim the Kanglong Ding and take revenge on Yi Yun.
Just as the Myriad Gods Ancestor was about to give chase, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Because of his encounter with Yi Yun, his emotions fluctuated too much, which caused his injuries to flare up again.
Just then, several figures appeared, including Li Jiuxiao and Li Yunshang.
Li Jiuxiao was filled with shock and rage. He sensed the Myriad Gods Ancestor, and at the same time, he sensed an aura rapidly rushing out of the Li Family. Who dared to sneak into his Li Family in the dead of night without being discovered?
"Fellow Daoist Wan, what's going on?!"
Li Jiuxiao watched the Myriad Gods Ancestor warily, one hand already on his Space Ring. This old man was mysterious; he claimed his surname was Wan, but Li Jiuxiao didn't know his true identity. If the price he offered hadn't been extremely generous, Li Jiuxiao would never have healed him.
The Myriad Gods Ancestor frowned. Of course, he wouldn't reveal his connection with Yi Yun, otherwise, the Kanglong Ding would surely attract the covetous eyes of many.
However, since the Myriad Gods Ancestor still needed Li Jiuxiao to refine healing pills for him, he wouldn't offend Li Jiuxiao too much. He said, "Someone sneaked into your Li residence at night, and you're asking me what happened? How would I know? I should be asking you."
As he spoke, the Myriad Gods Ancestor flashed and disappeared into the night, chasing after Yi Yun!
"A night raid on the Li residence?"
Li Yunshang's brow twitched. He looked at the small courtyard where Yi Yun had appeared. This was his own courtyard, and the person living in this courtyard was Yuan Ling Wang Mu's wife.
The Li residence is so large, with hundreds of buildings, it's too much of a coincidence that the intruder specifically chose Yuan Ling's room.
Unless that person came specifically for Yuan Ling!
Li Jiuxiao had clearly thought of this as well. "He came looking for this woman? Could it be... that he killed Yunfeng?!"
Thinking of all this, Li Jiuxiao suddenly flew into a rage. Besides that person, who else would come to save this woman?
This man killed his son, then his men, and took that lowly maid away. Now he dares to come to the Li Family with such audacity!
If it weren't for the discovery by the Myriad Gods Ancestor, even this woman would have been taken away without anyone noticing.
"He can't escape from my Wu Ling Clan! Chase him!"
Soon, more than a dozen figures shot out from the Li Family and chased after the direction Yi Yun had fled.
At this moment, the Myriad Gods Ancestor was already hundreds of miles away. He locked onto the aura of the Kanglong Ding. Even though the aura was already far away and only a trace remained, the Myriad Gods Ancestor still kept a close eye on it like a venomous snake.
"Yi Yun, you can't escape!" The Myriad Gods Ancestor roared, his voice rolling across the night sky like thunder, reaching Yi Yun's ears.
Yi Yun, who was running at full speed, frowned and quickened his pace again.
His entire body surged with vital energy, and he suddenly transformed into a blur, as fleeting as light and shadow, impossible to catch.
"Hmm?" The Myriad Gods Ancestor was shocked to feel that aura suddenly disappear rapidly. Recalling the aura of Yi Yun that he had just captured, it seemed to be only at the Dao Palace First Layer, but now it seemed to be far more than that.
"That damned little beast, he actually... broke through to the Venerable realm! How... is this possible?!"
The Myriad Gods Ancestor was incredulous; how many years had passed? Why had Yi Yun broken through so quickly?
With his cultivation level, he would be considered a prominent figure in any place in the Ruins of Return.
Could it be because of the Kanglong Ding? The Myriad Gods Ancestor immediately shook his head, "The Kanglong Ding couldn't possibly be so heaven-defying."
The thought of Yi Yun obtaining the Dragon Emperor Art filled him with rage; he wanted nothing more than to skin Yi Yun and drink his blood, for it should have been his!
"No matter how much you improve, you will never be my match. Run away, the more you run, the more desperate you will become!" The Myriad Gods Ancestor exuded a bloody aura, and his speed suddenly increased.
This bloody aura was eerie and sinister, resembling a blood-red cloud in the air, rushing straight towards Yi Yun.
"He must be seriously injured, far less so than he was back then..."
After experiencing the panic just now, Yi Yun gradually calmed down. The strength shown by the Myriad Gods Ancestor was far inferior to that when he was in the small world.
If Yi Yun had encountered the Myriad Gods Ancestor from that era, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Yi Yun didn't know what secret method the Myriad Gods Ancestor used to deceive the old snake, but for the old snake to believe that the Myriad Gods Ancestor was dead, that final blow must have been incredibly powerful.
The Myriad Gods Ancestor escaped death, but he had to pay a heavy price!
Moreover, the Myriad Gods Ancestor is already nearing the end of his life. Such a person has long since exhausted his life potential, and his cultivation has begun to decline. If he suffers such a serious injury, he is likely to fall from his cultivation level.
When the old serpent was injured, it took tens of millions of years to recover. The Myriad Gods Ancestor is far inferior to the old serpent. If he wants to return to his peak in his lifetime, it is impossible without a great opportunity.
Looking at himself, he had already broken through to the Venerable realm and was capable of protecting himself even in front of ordinary Divine Lords.
Upon closer analysis, the Myriad Gods Ancestor may not be so terrifying after all.
Of course, this is just Yi Yun's analysis. Before confirming it, Yi Yun would not joke with his own life.
"I have Purple Crystal to replenish my vital energy, and the Dragon Emperor Art to stimulate my life potential. I refuse to believe I can't escape your pursuit."
