Letting Out a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish (No More Today)

The Thousand Spider Mountain Range are located in the central part of the Lu Kingdom, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. They are home to a large number of demonic spiders, hence the name.

A streak of blue Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly flying towards this location.

Not long after, the blue Escape Light stopped, and Escape Light, a flying boat shimmering with blue light appeared, on which Shen Long and the other three stood.

Along the way, they heard that several groups of Barbarian Race cultivators had attacked important Human Race strongholds, and some Evil Cultivator had also taken the opportunity to cause trouble.

"At our current speed, we can reach Jiang Kingdom in less than seven days."

Xu Yang said.

"Let's speed things up and get to the Jiang Kingdom as soon as possible. The Barbarian Race cultivators' next target is very likely Jiang Kingdom..."

Before Shen Long could finish speaking, a blinding silver lightning bolt flashed in the distance.

Shen Long frowned and opened his Divine Sense Divine Sense wide. He sensed that there were two Core Formation Cultivator fighting each other more than 30 miles away.

"Someone's having a magical duel! Let's go check it out."

Shen Long activated his magic incantation, Sea-Crossing Boat emitted a dazzling blue light, flying towards the southwest.

Thirty miles away, in an open area, a burly young man in a silver shirt was locked in combat with Tang Yilong. Tang Yilong was covered in blood, his right arm was missing, and he was barely breathing.

A Silver Giant Eagle with wingspans of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) circled high in the sky, occasionally unleashing streaks of silver lightning as thick as an adult's arm, striking towards Tang Yilong.

Tang Yilong held a Golden Long Spear, and with a flick of his wrist, a large wave of golden spear shadows swept out, shattering the attacking Silver Giant Eagle.

A gigantic Golden Seal flew over and smashed towards Tang Yilong.

Tang Yilong was shocked and was about to defend himself when the Silver Giant Eagle swooped down from the sky, heading straight for Tang Yilong.

Before the Silver Giant Eagle even got close, it unleashed several thick bolts of silver lightning, heading straight for Tang Yilong.

Tang Yilong quickly swung his Golden Long Spear, unleashing a barrage of spear shadows that shattered the silver lightning, while the Golden Seal also hurtled towards him.

Just then, two Blue Giant Axe flew over and struck the Golden Seal, producing a muffled thud as metal clashed. The Golden Seal flew backward.

Shen Long and his companions arrived. The silver-robed youth frowned, made a hand seal, and with a gentle flap of the Silver Giant Eagle's wings, several silver lightning bolts as thick as an adult's arm flashed out and headed straight for Shen Long and his companions.

Wei Tianming's right fist shone with golden light, growing numerous dragon scales. With a single punch, a Golden Giant Fist flashed out to meet the attack. Lin Yutong, on the other hand, summoned a small White Small Umbrella, releasing a thick White Light Screen that enveloped the four of them.

Several streaks of silver lightning perished together with the golden fist shadow, creating a rolling shockwave.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the silver-clad youth transformed into a streak of silver Escape Light and sped away at great speed, while the Silver Giant Eagle unleashed silver lightning attacks on Shen Long and the others.

A gust of wind blew by, and Shen Long appeared, blocking the silver-clad youth's path.

He had a pair of Red Wings on his back, and his hands transformed into Red Dragon Claw as he rushed straight towards the silver-clad youth.

The young man in silver reacted quickly, moving his fists to meet the attack, while simultaneously spitting out a Silver Long Blade from his mouth, slashing towards Shen Long.

Shen Long's right claw slammed towards the Silver Long Blade, while his left claw went straight for the young man in silver.

The Red Dragon Claw clashed with the Silver Long Blade, producing a muffled clang of metal striking metal. The Silver Long Blade flew backward, and the silver-clad youth's right fist collided with the Red Dragon Claw, letting out a scream.

The Red Dragon Claw left several horrifying bloody gashes on the silver-clad youth's right arm, tearing his clothes in the process.

A thick bolt of silver lightning descended from the sky and struck Shen Long.

With a gentle flap of his Red Wings, Shen Long vanished from his spot, dodging the silver lightning. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the silver-clad youth's body shone with a surge of spiritual light, and he flew away into the distance.

Just as Wei Tianming and the others were about to give chase, hundreds of enormous silver blades swept over them, and they all took action to defend themselves.

A tremendous roar followed, followed by a surge of air.

Shen Long did not pursue the young man in silver, a mocking expression on his face.

It wasn't that he couldn't catch up; rather, he was playing the long game. The Spirit-Tracking Beast had already recorded the person's Divine Sense fluctuations, and he had also obtained the person's clothes. The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox could track him using scent.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, it's been a long time."

Shen Long greeted him with a smile.

Decades ago, he met Tang Yilong while traveling in the Shu Kingdom. After many years, Tang Yilong had advanced to the Golden Core Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, it's been a long time. I'm so grateful to have met you all this time, otherwise I would have perished."

Tang Yilong said gratefully, his voice weak.

"How did you get attacked by Barbarian Race monks? How many of them were there?"

Shen Long asked.

"We were escorting a batch of supplies to the front lines when we were ambushed just a thousand miles from the Marketplace. There were seven Core Formation Cultivator, the leader of whom was named Wu Tu, and he had the cultivation of Core Formation Late Stage cultivator."

Tang Yilong's voice was weak.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, please take the medicine to heal your injuries first!"

Shen Long said.

Tang Yilong nodded, took out a Golden Medicinal Pill and swallowed it, then sat down cross-legged to heal his injuries.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, why have you stopped pursuing him?"

Wei Tianming asked, puzzled.

"Cast a long line to catch a big fish; what merit would killing a small, insignificant fish bring?"

Shen Long explained.

"Does Fellow Daoist Shen have a way to track this person's location?"

Lin Yutong asked in surprise.

"Fairy Lin, have you forgotten? Our Spirit Control Sect excels at controlling insects and beasts; tracking enemies is nothing special."

Xu Yang looked proud.

"The smell won't last forever! Should we chase after them now?"

Wei Tianming suggested.

"You all Dharma Protector Fellow Daoist Tang until he finishes healing, then escort him back to the Marketplace. I'll be right back."

After saying this, Shen Long gently flapped the Red Wings on his back and disappeared from the spot.

"Daoist Xu, isn't it too dangerous for Fellow Daoist Shen to go alone?"

Wei Tianming said.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, rest assured, Junior Brother Shen is very strong, there won't be any problems."

Xu Yang explained with a smile.

Last time, when ambushed, Shen Long single-handedly killed five Core Formation Cultivator. This time, there were only seven Core Formation Cultivator, who were no match for Shen Long at all.

Shen Long's cultivation is stuck at a bottleneck, and he probably wants to use these people to break through it.

Wei Tianming hesitated, not because he was worried about Shen Long's safety, but because he wanted to share the credit. He had previously stated that if he lost to Shen Long, he would listen to Shen Long.

Thousands of miles away, in an underground cave, five men and one woman gathered inside. Wu Tu was also there, his expression indifferent.

A Silver Giant Eagle flew in carrying a young man in a silver robe, who looked flustered.

"Ba He, why did you take so long? Is it resolved?"

"Wu Tu asked."

"No, I encountered four Core Formation Cultivator from the Human Race. I was injured by them. Retreat quickly."

Ba He urged.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a piercing whistling sound rang out, the cave collapsed, and a Golden Giant Staff fell from the sky, crashing down on Wu Tu.

"Ba He, you brought the enemy back?"

Wu Tu flew into a rage, brandishing a Golden Giant Axe to meet the Golden Giant Staff.

The Golden Giant Staff clashed with the Golden Giant Axe, producing a muffled sound of metal striking metal, and sparks flew everywhere.

"I didn't! I've been using my Divine Sense to search, and I haven't found anyone following me!"

Ba He explained, his face full of confusion.

A burst of light appeared, and a bluish-red firebird appeared without warning behind Ba He, crashing into Ba He. The bluish-red flames engulfed Ba He's figure, and he let out a miserable cry, struggling violently. His body shone with silver light as he tried to extinguish the flames, but to no avail.

Numerous White Ice Blade shot out, slashing towards Wu Tu and the others.
