Yan Kingdom battlefield.

Yanqing Immortal City, embedded in a huge mountain range, is shrouded in a fourth-order formation.

Black clouds are threatening to destroy the city, and the endless army of Demonic Path monks, Spirit Boat giant ships, and beasts and birds make people's scalp numb.

Beast King, comparable to a mountain, swallows clouds and spits out mist, makes a sound like thunder, is extremely powerful, and attacks Immortal City's formation fiercely.

Boom!

The fourth-level formation condensed a chain of lightning as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and struck the birds in the sky. A dazzling thunder net enveloped the area where Demonic Path monks gathered, and there was a roar of thunder.

The Formation Thunder left some black scorch marks on the huge body of Fourth-Order Beast King, slowing down its attack rhythm.

In order to share the pressure of Immortal City's formation, Dao Defense Alliance sent many monks to block Fourth-Order Beast King, high-level monks, and Spirit Ship who carried the artillery fire outside the city wall.

"True Person Black Fish! What's the point of defeating a defeated enemy with more troops?"

Zhao Tan'er screamed, controlling Law Treasure, fight and then retreat.

"Little girl! Wait until I, True Person, capture you alive, then let's have a one-on-one hand-to-hand fight."

A young man in black robe Golden Core Realm showed a sinister smile.

A huge Black Leaf Law Treasure rotated at high speed, and black light blades slashed towards the retreating Zhao Tan'er.

Above the head of True Person Black Fish, hovering was a Big-Headed Black Fish, Quasi-Third-Order cultivation level, with a size comparable to a whale, and a black water wave surged.

Not only that, there is also a black-faced old man Pseudo-Core True Person, controlling Blood Sail Law Treasure, chasing Zhao Tan'er together.

"Lin the Black! Why don't you hurry up and catch up?"

True Person Black Fish scolded.

"Yes!"

The black-faced old man responded respectfully, his body covered with blood, and Escape Light rose sharply.

Looking at the escaping beauty of the past, the dark-faced old man suppressed the emotions in his heart.

"Lin the Black?"

Zhao Tan'er couldn't help but glance at the dark-faced old man, and found that the outline of that weathered old face looked slightly familiar.

"Tan'er, I'll help you, master!"

Zhao Siyao flew out from Immortal City to rescue the disciples.

She controlled Quasi-Third-Order Puppet, blocked the Big-Headed Black Fish, and then played a accurate Tier 3 Talisman at the black-faced old man.

Zhao Tan'er The pressure was greatly reduced, and he returned to the city wall to meet his master.

True Person Black Fish was afraid of the formation Restriction and stopped approaching. He retreated with Big-Headed Black Fish and "Lin the Black" to find other targets.

"Master, the old man just now looks a bit like Lin Lu."

Zhao Tan'er hesitated.

"Lin Lu? The battlefield is chaotic, Tan'er, you must have seen it wrong, right?"

Zhao Siyao didn't see the black-faced old man's face clearly, but his Cultivation Method features obviously came from Demonic Path.

Zhao Tan'er also thinks it's unlikely.

But that "Lin the Black" just now, when besieging him, seemed to be attacking fiercely, but in fact he was not ruthless.

"If you encounter this kind of situation in the future, you should run away as soon as possible and don't get entangled."

Zhao Siyao warned.

"Tan'er understands! I didn't expect that True Person Black Fish was playing dirty tricks. He called for reinforcements in the middle of the fight, and his Spirit Pet injuries were cured so quickly."

"Just understand. If there is a crisis, decisively use the special Escape Talisman I gave you."

Zhao Siyao nodded.

As a true alchemy female cultivator, Zhao Tan'er is young and beautiful. The opponents and crises she faces on Demonic Path are far better than her.

Therefore, Zhao Siyao handed over the special third-level mid-grade Escape Talisman to Zhao Tan'er to save his life.

She is Pseudo-Core True Person, and most of her opponents are False Core and Foundation Establishment Late Stage, so the pressure is less.

Half a day later, the Beast King Valley camp suspended its attack.

Master Zhao and his disciples breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the formation Immortal City.

Looking at the dark Demonic Path camp.

Zhao Siyao looked haggard and sighed:

"I thought that Chen Kingdom was captured, Demonic Path achieved a new breakthrough, and the pressure on the Yan Kingdom could be relieved..."

Five or six days later.

Lan Chang'an Lonely Sun Immortal City arrived at the Jing Kingdom border.

A decade ago, Lan Chang'an took the transnational Spirit Ship and smuggled himself to the Jing Kingdom. The first stop he arrived at was here.

This time, Lan Chang'an disguised himself as Cloaked Elder, who was trained as False Core, purchased resources in Immortal City, and learned about the war situation of the Jing Kingdom.

"It's strange, Beast King Valley has occupied Chen Kingdom for several years, but only watched it with eager eyes, and did not attack the seemingly weak Jing Kingdom."

Before Lan Chang'an left Golden Cloud Valley, he learned that Demonic Path was focusing on attacking Yan Kingdom.

For the west side of the Feng Kingdom, and Jing Kingdom, they are still scouts, and there is a small friction between them.

In fact, Jing Kingdom's defensive power is not weak.

Jing Kingdom Major forces, including Profound Yin Sect and Heavenly Net Sect, have joined forces and are mentally prepared to be invaded.

As a result, it wasn't that fast.

Lan Chang'an once thought, could it be that Demonic Path was afraid of Son of Luck, who Jing Kingdom went out in the early years.

That Son of Luck, who joined the ancient sect of Great Qing Central Region, was actually beyond the reach of the Heavenly Demon tide.

Six Demonic Sects, Ten Profound Sects, are all the top forces of Great Qing.

Six Demonic Sects's eastward expansion was also the result of a compromise between the two sides after the war.

Stay at Lonely Sun Immortal City for a few days.

Lan Chang'an purchased a lot of supplies in different capacities.

Due to the war, the prices of many supplies increased.

However, for some resources that are scarce in the Fengyuan Kingdom, you still have to buy them even if the price increases. You won't lose money if you go there.

After the purchase, Spirit Stone on Lan Chang'an shrank to less than 100,000.

Lan Chang'an left Guru Immortal City and flew all the way north.

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Lan Chang'an did not go to True Person Hanyu for discussion this time when he came to the Jing Kingdom.

In war years, the probability of encountering high-level monks on the road is higher.

Lan Chang'an Let Second Life Peak Core Formation come and merge with this world.

The powerful Divine Sense senses can avoid other high-level monks in advance.

Two days later, Lan Chang'an arrived in the north of the Jing Kingdom, near the edge of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

"The estimated result is that it is about a thousand miles away."

Based on the intelligence and existing information, Lan Chang'an calculated and tracked the approximate location where True Person Yellow Wolf was hiding.

For divination, if you want accurate answers, you rely more on clue information and causal media.

If True Person Yellow Wolf is a strange true elixir monk who has never interacted with him before, it will be more difficult to estimate.

But Lan Chang'an not only had dealings with this profiteer, but also had quite a lot of grudges.

In the early years, Lan Chang'an, using the identity of True Person Xiang, killed True Person Huxiao of the Ten Thousand Beasts Merchant Association, thus forming a rift.

A few years ago, True Person Yellow Wolf reported the situation of Lan Chang'an and Mystic Water Turtle to Peacock Saintess, putting the latter to death.

Lan Chang'an took revenge and reported this person, causing his family to be destroyed and his family to be on the run.

With this kind of causal implication, coupled with the intelligence information provided by Wujian Gate, Lan Chang'an estimated that the resistance would be much smaller.

"Hey! This person is hiding in the newly built medium-sized Marketplace behind the Profound Yin Sect."

After searching hard for many days and losing several months of life, Lan Chang'an finally found the hiding place of True Person Yellow Wolf.

Divination and calculation consumes energy and mind, and if you use it frequently, it can easily shorten your life.

The more accurate the calculation result, the greater the loss.

"Donglai Marketplace?"

"Profound Yin Sect is a new Marketplace built near the Black Mist Mountain Range. The geographical location is similar to Yellow Dragon Immortal City of the Liang Kingdom. It is planned to be expanded into Immortal City in the future. The current financial resources are not enough..."

Lan Chang'an stood ten miles away from Marketplace, looking at the specific information with a strange expression.

The name Marketplace was probably chosen by Liang Shaotian himself.

Observe for half a day.

Lan Chang'an discovered that the guardian of this Marketplace, with the highest cultivation level, was just a False Core female cultivator. The other apparent managers had no cultivation level higher than False Core.

He knew that female cultivator False Core. She was the disciple of Liang Shaotian, the same Miss Wei who had dealt with Ancient Ruins back then.

True Person Yellow Wolf, disguised as a yellow-faced old woman Qi Refining Ninth Layer, hangs out in the Rogue Cultivator area of Marketplace.

This person's disguise method is quite good. It is not easy to identify the person below Late Core Formation.

Unfortunately, we met Lan Chang'an. At this time, Second Life possessed and fused, and Divine Sense exceeded Late Core Formation.

"Hiding at the bottom of Marketplace to recuperate?"

Lan Chang'an wants to run away, and there is no time to wait for True Person Yellow Wolf to show off Marketplace before taking action.

Anyway, there are no rivals in Marketplace.

Lan Chang'an planned to have Earth Rock Rat lurk underground and poison him secretly.

He entered Marketplace, cooperated with illusions, attacked Divine Sense, and captured it with a double attack of light and darkness.

Divine Sense's illusion is beyond Peak Core Formation's. Even if True Person Yellow Wolf has a third-level soul artifact, it can't withstand it.

Donglai Marketplace.

North Street, a street where Rogue Cultivator gathers.

True Person Yellow Wolf, disguised as a yellow-faced woman, had her eyelids twitching and the sound of cicadas chirping in her mind.

"What's going on? Is there another crisis?"

True Person Yellow Wolf was frightened and returned to his house.

As soon as I sat down, a sharp and shrill chirping of cicadas sounded in my mind, and then stopped abruptly.

"Life-Startling Cicada died suddenly! Not good--"

True Person Yellow Wolf's face was pale, his voice was trembling, and his always shrewd and deep eyes revealed silent fear.

In Sea of Consciousness, there is a translucent green small cicada insect with stiff limbs and belly that has just died suddenly.

Life-Startling Cicada, a rare earth-grade insect with no fighting ability.

Staying in the host Sea of Consciousness, you can sense various crises.

The stronger the atmosphere of crisis, the louder Life-Startling Cicada screamed when he was frightened.

Life-Startling Cicada screamed and died.

It can be seen how big the upcoming crisis is, and it is basically a narrow escape.

True Person Yellow Wolf realized that Donglai Marketplace might face an unprecedented disaster for himself.

I'm afraid there are powerful high-level monks who will come to kill you.

"Run!"

True Person Yellow Wolf Without thinking, he stepped on the floor and went down the tunnel.

There was a false smell of a yellow-faced woman in the room.

He passed the second-order pangolin and dug a tunnel under the house in advance, leading to the outside of Marketplace.

Marketplace's underground formation defense was weaker, but he found a flaw and conquered it half a year ago.

Half an hour later, True Person Yellow Wolf appeared in the woods a hundred miles away from Marketplace.

Phew!

True Person Yellow Wolf was sweating profusely. He breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously explored the surroundings.

A hundred years ago, he encountered a life-and-death disaster. Life-Startling Cicada screamed. He narrowly escaped the disaster by quickly changing location.

I hope I can be so lucky this time.

Suddenly, he noticed the faint Law Power fluctuation, and the third-level soul artifact on his body gave a warning.

"Ah hiss..."

True Person Yellow Wolf Sea of Consciousness The pain was severe, as if being cut by a vibrating knife. The spiritual light of the soul artifacts on his body dimmed to the end in an instant, and he lost his resistance.

This Divine Sense attack secret technique is at least Late Core Formation overhauled.

True Person Yellow Wolf My heart sank to the bottom, and my soul was seriously injured. Fortunately, I didn't faint.

Boom!

The ground beneath his feet collapsed and turned into mud, about to swallow his body.

At the critical moment, True Person Yellow Wolf's elixir power exploded, flying up like onions from the dry land, barely avoiding being swallowed by the mud.

Click!

His legs, which were in the air, were entangled below the knees by the mud python that chased him out, and his calves were bitten off.

"Senior, please spare your life--"

True Person Yellow Wolf's eyes were red and he screamed at the top of his lungs.

The dignified Late Core Formation overhaul unexpectedly attacked him in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm whose strength was damaged.

The first round of attacks left him severely traumatized, his legs disabled, and he fell into a desperate situation.

"Tsk, tsk, profiteer Lao Huang, you are here too."

A chuckle appeared above the trees.

A tall, thick, masked man blocked his way.

Profiteer Lao Huang is the name True Person Yellow Wolf is known in the Merchant Alliance circle.

This man's complexion is as yellow as a grapefruit, and he wears a leather coat and a large cloak all year round. He is a smooth man, and his business methods are shrewd and calculating, and he has tricked many chambers of commerce.

The masked strong man was like a savage beast, attacking at close range from top to bottom.

Bang!

The huge iron fist, with shiny gold-patterned discs emerging, broke through True Person Yellow Wolf's hurriedly operating magic shield.

"Third-Order Body Refining... who are you?"

True Person Yellow Wolf spit out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards.

The mud and rocks on the ground turned into earthy yellow and he raised his claws and slapped them hard.

True Person Yellow Wolf took three consecutive shots of level three defense Talisman, with several layers of masks blinking in an instant.

Inside Spirit Pet Bag, there was also an injured Quasi-Third-Order python demon, which was ready to be restrained, but as soon as it emerged, it was swallowed up by the expanding mud.

In the end, True Person Yellow Wolf was punched in the chest and fell into the mud.

"Ah! Xiang Jinglong, but you? Why did you put Huang to death..."

Before True Person Yellow Wolf died, his consciousness was confused and he screamed.

The masked man attacking from the front is not Late Core Formation overhaul, showing the extraordinary strength of Third-Order Body Refining.

In the surrounding area, the only people who have cultivated to Third-Order Body Refining are Profound Yin Sect and Xiang Jinglong.

"Why does Xiang need to explain to you what he has done in his life?"

The masked strong man said proudly.

He did not block out the screams of True Person Yellow Wolf, and was not worried about being heard by the nearby monks.

Whoosh!

The mud flow completely engulfed True Person Yellow Wolf's body.

"Photograph!"

Lan Chang'an pointed Hand Seals, and the strange object "Soul Nourishing Ring" on the wrist flew out, blooming with a translucent green halo.

The remnant soul of True Person Yellow Wolf was captured by Soul Nourishing Ring and sealed in a box. Lan Chang'an immediately attached it to Sealing Talisman.

Squeak!

Earth Rock Rat quickly took care of the battlefield, looked excited, and appeared in front of him with Storage Bag, Spirit Pet Bag and other items in his mouth.

"Let's go!"

Lan Chang'an put Earth Rock Rat into Spirit Pet Bag, and flew from above the woods to Nine Heavens of Astral Wind above the clouds.

Because it was near Marketplace, the fluctuations in fighting skills alarmed the surrounding monks.

From their perspective, a burly, masked man exuded a terrifying Qi and Blood Power Soul murder and left quickly.

"Third-Order Body Refining? Could it be Profound Yin Sect elder Xiang Jinglong?"

"Elder Xiang participated in the Ten Thousand Beasts Merchant Association's siege a few years ago. Could it be that the tragic death just now was True Person Yellow Wolf."

"Old Huang? I heard that he carries the huge wealth of the Ten Thousand Beasts Merchant Association?"

"Tsk tsk, True Person Xiang has made a lot of money this time. Everyone is a member of the Profound Yin Sect. Go to him to collect the reward..."

Seven days ago.

Liang Kingdom North, Wuqi Mountain.

It was night, and Small Turtle Peak, one of the three main peaks, was dead silent.

Mountain Guardian Qi Feng, who was sitting cross-legged and practicing, fell into a drowsy state for no apparent reason.

A delicate jade hand is attached to the Tianling cover of Qi Feng.

The wonderful fragrance is diffused, and the colorful feather skirt is flowing.

A woman in colorful feather robes with bare lotus feet, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was floating half a foot above the ground, her eyes were as bright as the moon.

His body shape and appearance can be said to be of national beauty, and his every gesture is noble, aloof, and extremely beautiful.

On the ankles of the pair of white jade lotus feet, Gold and Silver Rings is worn respectively, adding a bit of coquettishness and eerieness.

"Saintess It is best not to kill this person, otherwise unknown variables may occur."

Beside Caiyu woman, a hunchbacked old man holding a scepter said in a hoarse voice.

After a while, Peacock Saintess ended the soul search and muttered:

"In recent years, Lan Chang'an has not visited Wuqi Mountain. Qi Feng has only had a small amount of correspondence with him."

After that, she took out two letters from Qi Feng Storage Bag, which were written by Lan Chang'an, providing media information to the old man.

The hunchbacked old man had gray hair and a withered face. He tremblingly took out a simple turtle slice and a pointer-shaped bamboo stick.

It took a long time to calculate.

The hunchbacked old man groaned, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his face became paler.

The bamboo stick in his hand circled in mid-air and landed, eventually pointing slightly north of the west.

"The related hexagrams in that direction are the Beast Taming Zhou Family and Profound Yin Sect areas."

The hunchbacked old man coughed up blood and had confused breathing.

"Elder Shi Thank you for your hard work. Who would have thought that that kid has a magical object that can resist calculations."

The sound of Peacock Saintess is as clear as a bell, but it has a mysterious and ethereal charm as if coming from the Deep Sea.

"Saintess has the foresight to know that this person may want to run away, so I let the old man figure it out in advance. If he were to escape to the Fengyuan Kingdom, Boundless Desert, it would be like digging for gold in the sand, and Sacred Gate's power would be beyond his reach.

"Besides, Fengyuan Kingdom's "Heavenly Master" is mysterious and proficient in celestial calculations. If we move closer, we may alert him."

Elder Shi spoke kindly, but his heart was bleeding.

Helping Saintess calculate all the way is exhausting, and I don't know how many more years of life I will lose.

Elder Shi's mid-level true elixir, third-level high-grade divination skills are also top-notch among Beast King Valley, and the strongest below Nascent Soul.

Although he looks like he is about to be buried, in fact he is less than 300 years old this year and should be in his prime.

There is no way, Divination Path, it is a high-risk profession that will shorten your life span.

When you encounter a big shot whose strength and status exceeds many, you come to your door to make calculations. How dare you refuse?

Elder Shi, a monk belonging to the affiliated force of Beast King Valley, did not dare to refuse Peacock Saintess, who promised huge profits and promised to take care of the descendants of his disciples.

"Elder Shi makes sense. Lan Chang'an must be intercepted and killed before Fengyuan Kingdom."

Peacock Saintess raised his fingers and smiled, showing a noble demeanor that was both holy and coquettish.

The well-informed Elder Shi's eyes were slightly dazed for a moment.

Many years ago, True Person Yellow Wolf submitted Lan Chang'an's information to Peacock Saintess.

Later, Peacock Saintess purchased Lan Chang'an's more detailed information from Wujian Gate.

Lan Chang'an once passed by the Liang Kingdom, so Peacock Saintess asked Elder Shi to make an estimate in advance.

Elder Shi's divination results:

Lan Chang'an will definitely run away, and he will run away in advance.

Peacock Saintess couldn't help but be stunned.

The place to run away is most likely Fengyuan Kingdom.

However, when calculating the target's route to the Fengyuan Kingdom, we encountered invisible resistance.

There are two possibilities.

First, Lan Chang'an itself has a third-level divination skill, and its destiny is stronger than ordinary people, making it more difficult to predict.

Second, Lan Chang'an has a rare item that he carries with him, which can shield him from the calculation.

The latter situation is more common in Cultivation World.

In just one or two hundred years, it would be impossible for Lan Chang'an to simultaneously cultivate the art of talismans and divination to the third level or above.

Because of the invisible resistance, it is not difficult for Elder Shi to deduce the general direction; but if you want to accurately deduce the position, you have to forcefully deduce it.

Wuqi Mountain, Xuemei Mountain Li Clan, and Beast Taming Zhou Family are all the places that Elder Shi previously calculated that Lan Chang'an might pass through when going to the Fengyuan Kingdom.

If Lan Chang'an doesn't kill True Person Yellow Wolf, it is indeed possible to pass by these two places and go to the Fengyuan Kingdom.

"The new hexagram, Xuemei Mountain Li Clan can be eliminated."

Elder Shi leaned on the scepter, his voice was weak, and he took a few pills to restore his energy and mind.

"The next destination is "Beast Taming Zhou Family"! If Zhou Family is eliminated and further information is obtained, I can confirm the approximate route from Lan Chang'an to the Fengyuan Kingdom."

"Okay, I'll ask Elder Shi to make one last divination at that time. Regardless of success or failure, the little girl will definitely thank you."

Peacock Saintess could see that Elder Shi was already very weak. If he continued to force the calculation again, it would kill him.

Elder Shi is the strongest Divination Master that her own energy can mobilize in Sacred Gate.

In Beast King Valley, the divination ability completely surpasses that of Elder Shi. Only Nascent Soul Middle Stage's Grand Elder sits in the rear and controls the overall situation, and the divination ability barely reaches the fourth level threshold.

Even the elder Nascent Soul may not be able to ask Grand Elder for divination. After all, no one wants to shorten their lifespan.

Jing Kingdom Northland, Black Mist Mountain Range in the cave.

Lan Chang'an clears the loot from the click-kill True Person Yellow Wolf.

"Youth Preservation Pill three pills, Crystal Condensation Pill one main medicine, Golden Core Realm two spiritual things..."

"Dozens of bottles and cans of second- and third-level beast pills and animal food. Two of Baleful Origin Pill, and dozens of beast-controlling inheritance Jade Slip..."

"Spirit Stone more than 100,000, dozens of spirit beast cubs, more than 100 eggs of rare birds and beasts..."

Lan Chang'an chuckled, this profiteer is indeed extremely rich, and his net worth is far higher than most Core Formation Cultivator.

This wealth resource will be digested slowly when Fengyuan Kingdom arrives, and it will be easy to hit the third-level mid-level Puppet Master.

Earth Rock Rat next to him looked at it eagerly and drooled.

Lan Chang'an rewarded it with several bottles of Third-Order Beast Pill and several third-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Finally, Lan Chang'an searched for the remaining soul of True Person Yellow Wolf.

"This profiteer handed True Person such detailed information to Peacock Saintess."

Lan Chang'an cursed secretly.

At this moment, he felt a sense of the Unseen.

Lan Chang'an Pinch your fingers and calculate for a moment.

"No, Peacock Saintess guessed that I was going to run away, please use Divination Master to calculate and track."

Lan Chang'an's face turned gloomy.

That Divination Master's skills are superior to him, otherwise he wouldn't have sensed it at this time.

"Let's go, Fengyuan Kingdom!"

Without any delay, Lan Chang'an turned into a Escape Light and flew into Nine Heavens of Astral Wind.

In order to increase the speed, he attached the third-level mid-level Treasure Talisman, which was as fast as Late Core Formation.

Follow the Black Blood Road and Lan Chang'an opened by the sages and cross Black Mist Mountain Range.

Two days later.

The speed returned to normal, and an endless desert appeared in his field of vision.

The wind and sand howled, getting louder and louder.

It even affects the senses and flight speed of Divine Sense of Core Formation Cultivator.

At a certain moment, Lan Chang'an sensed an abnormality.

A beautiful bird chirped!

I saw an elegant and beautiful Five-Colored Peacock with wings spread several feet, emerging from the clouds in the distance.
