Subsequently, Wu Xulong first fought against the two Golden Core early stage experts.
Whenever someone rushed towards the direction Yang Lingtian was escaping, Wu Xulong would quickly block them.
However, since there were two opponents after all, one of them managed to break free after several minutes of fierce fighting.
The other one stubbornly held Wu Xulong back.
However, it could be considered that he bought some time for Yang Lingtian to escape, increasing the distance between them.
Having broken through to the Foundation Establishment mid-stage, he fully activated the Imperial Sky Boat.
Its speed had already surpassed the Foundation Establishment peak, infinitely approaching the speed of an ordinary Golden Core expert.
However, the person chasing after him was, after all, a genuine Golden Core expert, and his speed was still a bit faster than Yang Lingtian's.
Yang Ling felt the powerful aura of the Golden Core assassin behind him, knowing that this person was getting closer and closer to him.
He opened the Star-Moon Dynasty map given to him by the mysterious old man last time, looking at his location, wondering where to escape to.
Yang Lingtian knew his own limits; if he encountered a Foundation Establishment peak, he could still put up a fight.
But facing a Golden Core expert, he was completely outmatched, not even on the same level.
Seeing the Golden Core assassin getting closer and closer, Yang Lingtian couldn't think of any good solutions.
At this moment, the Chaos Bead seemed to sense Yang Lingtian's emotions, and its voice sounded in his mind.
"Master, there is currently a way to get rid of the pursuit."
"What, what way, tell me quickly," Yang Lingtian asked anxiously.
"That is to force out a drop of your essence blood and drip it onto the Imperial Sky Boat."
"You possess the Chaos Dao Body, and your essence blood will have a trace of Chaos Qi, which can allow the Imperial Sky Boat to unleash even faster speeds, lasting for several hours."
"It's just that this will damage your body, greatly deplete your vital energy, and make you very weak, requiring time to recover."
Yang Lingtian thought for a moment, then decided to use this method.
Although it would come at a price, it was better than being caught up and killed by a Golden Core expert.
This was not just a drop of blood; it was a drop of essence blood containing powerful energy and vitality.
At this moment, a trace of Chaos Qi aura spread out from this drop of essence blood.
Yang Lingtian immediately dripped the essence blood onto the Imperial Sky Boat, and then that drop of essence blood was quickly absorbed by the Imperial Sky Boat.
And the Imperial Sky Boat, having absorbed the essence blood, was as if it had unlocked some kind of restriction.
It was as if it had been awakened from a slumber, and a vast aura immediately permeated out.
Immediately, the speed of the Imperial Sky Boat suddenly exploded, rushing forward like lightning.
This speed completely surpassed the speed of the Golden Core early stage, even faster than the Golden Core mid-stage.
And a look of pain began to appear on Yang Lingtian's face, his whole body began to tremble, and his consciousness became increasingly blurred.
Obviously, having lost a drop of important essence blood, his body had suffered enormous damage.
The Golden Core assassin chasing from behind sensed a strange energy fluctuation and realized that Yang Lingtian's aura was rapidly moving away from him.
He noticed the sudden increase in Yang Lingtian's speed, and soon he was thrown far away.
"How is this possible? Even with a Mid-grade Spirit Artifact of the flying type, there's no way a Foundation Establishment cultivator could unleash such a fast speed."
The Golden Core assassin behind him had a look of disbelief on his face, greatly shocked in his heart.
Then a sense of humiliation arose spontaneously: "Damn it, I, a dignified Golden Core expert, actually let a small Foundation Establishment cultivator run away."
"No, I must continue to pursue him. He must have used some kind of secret technique to suddenly burst out with such a fast speed."
"And the price paid for using this secret technique must be very high, and it cannot last long, he certainly can't run far."
Although he had lost track of Yang Lingtian's whereabouts and aura, the Golden Core assassin had not given up and began to search around.
At this time, Yang Lingtian's body became extremely weak, and he fainted completely, falling on the Imperial Sky Boat.
Although the Imperial Sky Boat no longer had Yang Lingtian's control and activation, it had absorbed a drop of essence blood containing Chaos Qi.
This made the Imperial Sky Boat seem to have the power of primordial times, and its speed did not decrease at all as it flew forward.
The energy contained in this drop of essence blood could allow the Imperial Sky Boat to maintain flight for several hours.
After the Imperial Sky Boat flew for several hours with the severely comatose Yang Lingtian, the energy of the essence blood finally ran out.
Then the Imperial Sky Boat fell straight down from the high sky, slamming heavily on the ground below.
Fortunately, Yang Lingtian possessed the Chaos Dao Body, and his physical body was extremely strong.
Without any protection, relying solely on the strength of his physical body, even the attacks of a Foundation Establishment early stage expert could not hurt his body in the slightest.
Otherwise, falling from a high altitude in a comatose state, he would have already been smashed to death and turned into a puddle of flesh.
Several days later, Yang Lingtian slowly woke up.
When he first woke up, he still felt a little dizzy, and his whole body felt weak and powerless.
Yang Lingtian felt a pang of bitterness in his heart: "I didn't expect the price of forcing out a drop of essence blood to be so high."
"Fortunately, no demon beasts came while I was unconscious, or I would have been eaten."
"I don't know if that Golden Core assassin has followed, so I still can't be careless."
Then he tried to circulate his spiritual power, but found it very difficult, and felt a burst of pain from his body.
Although he could still exert his corresponding strength, each time he used the power of cultivation, it would cause some subtle damage to his body.
It seems that he should try not to take action as much as possible before recovering his essence.
He thought he could only continue to urge the Imperial Sky Boat to find a safe cave to heal his injuries properly.
Although this would continue to cause damage to his body, there was no other way.
Just as he was about to activate the Imperial Sky Boat, his powerful divine sense made him aware that someone was approaching.
After all, his current divine sense strength was comparable to a Golden Core expert, and he could detect movements thousands of meters away.
He immediately put away the Imperial Sky Boat, stood in the distance, and looked into the distance.
Before long, several figures gradually came into his sight.
Among them were two people, a man and a woman, both at Qi Refining Level 9, and the others were all below Qi Refining Level 7.
"Hey, there seems to be someone over there." The woman was the first to spot Yang Lingtian.
Then these people rushed towards Yang Lingtian and surrounded him.
"I can't sense any cultivation aura, he looks like a mortal."
The man at Qi Refining Level 9 said in a calm tone. Although his eyes were sizing up Yang Lingtian, he didn't take it to heart.
A mere mortal naturally couldn't catch his eye.
"Which family are you from?" the woman asked Yang Lingtian.
"I don't have a family. May I ask where this is?" Yang Lingtian asked after a simple answer.
"No family? Then he must be from a small village nearby."
"This is a small hill in Tianshan Valley. Demon beasts haunt it all year round. How dare you, a mere mortal, come here?"
The woman said patiently, without a condescending tone.
"Well, consider yourself lucky to have met us, then just follow us from behind."
Yang Lingtian thought for a while, and since he was unfamiliar with the place, it would be safer to follow them for the time being.
"Okay, thank you!" Yang Lingtian accepted happily.
After talking along the way, Yang Lingtian also learned the names of these people.
The man was called Bai Qing, the woman was called Bai Zi, and the others were also surnamed Bai, obviously from the same family.
He also learned that this place was called Tianshan Valley, the largest valley basin in the Star-Moon Dynasty.
The Tianshan Valley is surrounded by towering mountains, and the depth of the Tianshan Valley reaches thousands of meters, surrounded by cliffs that are difficult to climb.
Therefore, this place is isolated from the world, and if one's cultivation does not reach the Golden Core, one cannot fly out of this Tianshan Valley.
This also leads to the fact that few outsiders come in, and few people can get out.
He didn't know if this was a paradise or a cage.
Fortunately, he had the Imperial Sky Boat, which he could fly out with.
But now his injured body had not recovered, and the weakness caused by losing a drop of essence blood had not disappeared.
So Yang Lingtian planned to recuperate in this Tianshan Valley before doing anything else.
What's more, there was still a Golden Core expert chasing him outside, so it was best to hide here for a while.
Yang Lingtian followed this group of people over several small hills, trekking dozens of miles, and finally came to a flat area.
This place was obviously their gathering place. When they arrived, more than a hundred people had already gathered here.
However, these people were all Qi Refining Stage cultivators, and the highest cultivation was still Qi Refining Level 9.
And everyone was wearing the same uniform, obviously belonging to the same force.
"Bai Qing, you're finally back." A very burly man walked over and said.
"All the small teams that I sent out have completed their tasks on time, except for you."
"Bai Qing, I wonder if the Bloodfire Wolf's heart has been retrieved." Another man walked over and asked.
Bai Qing flipped his hand, and took out a wooden box, inside which was the heart of the Bloodfire Wolf.
"The Bloodfire Wolf's heart is here, the mission has been completed." He replied proudly.
"Great, all the auxiliary materials have been completed, now we only lack that main ingredient." The man looked delighted.
Then his gaze suddenly turned to Bai Qing's rear, to the ragged Yang Lingtian.
Looking very downcast, the middle-aged man frowned slightly; "Who is he?"
"Just a mortal who got lost on a small hill." Bai Zi stepped forward and explained.
"We just happened to run into him, so we figured it was fate and brought him along."
The middle-aged man took a deep look at Yang Lingtian, then turned to Bai Qing and said, "As the grandson of the Grand Patriarch..."
"You possess great power and freedom, and can bring along an outsider as you please."
"But these are extraordinary times, and I hope you won't delay the Bai Family's important affairs over trivial matters."
"We understand, don't worry. He's just a mortal; he won't hinder us in any way," Bai Qing replied.
Just as everyone was about to sit down and rest, a voice came from afar: "Everyone, assemble!"
Then, a woman in white walked over from a distance, followed by several subordinates.
As she approached, everyone immediately clasped their fists and shouted, "Greetings, Miss Bai Xueyou!"
Yang Lingtian looked at the approaching miss. She had long hair draped over her shoulders and a great figure.
She could be considered a stunning beauty.
