Pursuit by a Golden Core Cultivator

With a flash, the beautiful Daoist nun appeared in mid-air and immediately spotted the Su Clan's large ship and three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Su Clan.

The Daoist nun flew forward and stopped in front of the three members of the Su Clan, asking sternly.

"Why did you use such powerful Law Technique on the edge of the market? Didn't you know that you might accidentally kill innocent cultivators?"

The three Su Clan cultivators first felt a terrifying sense of oppression descend upon them, and immediately became panicked and silent. However, after seeing the beautiful Daoist nun's appearance, their expressions relaxed.

The leading Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator clasped his hands and bowed in response.

"I am Su Xingyuan from Clearpeace Mountain. I have met Qingyan. A villain has killed a member of my Su Lineage, and we are currently pursuing him."

"While pursuing the murderer, we must not recklessly unleash powerful Law Technique outside the market."

"Please forgive me, Fairy Maiden. It was an emergency. This person was a living sacrifice prepared for Ancestor Su Gan, but I didn't expect him to hide his cultivation and escape."

Upon hearing this, Qingyan Daoist nun's fierce aura vanished instantly, and a spiritual energy soundproof barrier suddenly appeared, enveloping her and Su Xingyuan.

"Has Su Gan already deciphered the things he brought out from the High Antiquity secret realm, the Longevity Hall?"

Su Xingyuan replied, "I don't know that. More than ten years ago, after the Ancestor and the Fairy Maiden and other Golden Core seniors returned from exploring the secret realm, they went into seclusion. They only emerged three years ago. After that, they spent two and a half years setting up a large array called the <Devouring Essence Array>."

"Our ancestor ordered us, the members of the Su Lineage, to search for cultivators who practice the Longevity Art, and they must be young and strong, with the highest cultivation level the better."

"According to our intelligence, the person who just escaped was a middle-aged cultivator who practiced the Longevity Art and was very likely in the Late Qi Refinement Refining stage. Unexpectedly, he concealed his cultivation level and was actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which is why he was able to escape."

Su Xingyuan quickly explained the whole story without holding back, clearly showing his trust in Qingyan.

He turned his head and glanced in the direction Song Wen had fled, his expression anxious.

"Fairy Maiden, cultivators who can successfully Foundation Establishment in the Longevity Art are extremely rare. This person is of great importance to Ancestor Su Gan. I wonder if you could lend a hand?"

The Qingyan spoke in a voice as cold and sharp as ice.

"Don't worry, he can't escape."

As she spoke, her brows were furrowed, and she appeared deep in thought, seemingly pondering something.

Before she finished speaking, she had already disappeared from the spot.

Following the lingering scent of Song Wen, they went after him.

Seeing that the Su Clan cultivators were not pursuing him, Song Wen did not lower his guard and continued to flee at full speed.

Suddenly, a powerful pressure came from behind, like a landslide or tsunami. Song Wen staggered and almost fell.

Song Wen barely managed to steady himself, his expression changing drastically.

This is Golden Core cultivator!

When he first arrived in East Birch Market, he had been trying his best to avoid the detection of the Golden Core cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect, but he never expected to run into them today.

The Golden Core cultivator behind them was at his peak, and his aura was much stronger than that of Wu Ren when he was seriously injured.

"Boy, surrender obediently, and I might spare your life."

The voice of the Qingyan resounded in Song Wen's ears, traveling more than ten miles.

Song Wen would not simply sit idly by and wait to be killed just because his opponent was powerful.

He used Thunder Escape Technique while simultaneously determining his location.

Even in a life-or-death crisis, one must not lose composure. As long as a suitable geographical location is found, Song Wen is confident that he can successfully escape from his clutches.

With one chasing and the other fleeing, the distance between the two quickly closed.

When the two were less than eight miles apart, Qingyan Daoist nun's Divine Sense had already locked onto Song Wen's location, and she shouted loudly.

"Take this!"

A long rope flew from his hand, shooting out like a venomous snake towards Song Wen with lightning speed.

This long rope was clearly a treasure for trapping enemies, and Song Wen dared not let it entangle him.

With a thought, the Kui Water Shield appeared behind him, followed by a bronze Great Lu that enveloped Song Wen's entire body.

"Bang!"

The rope end struck the sunflower Kui Water Shield, which quickly deformed, like clothing pierced by a wooden stick. The sunflower water transformed into a gentle curtain of water, carried by the rope end, and struck the bronze Great Lu.

The Great Lu shattered instantly.

Song Wen suddenly felt a powerful force slam into him from behind, his mouth tasted metallic, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was fleeing at high speed when he was accelerated and sent flying.

A hint of surprise flashed in Qingyan Daogu's eyes. It was somewhat unexpected that a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator had managed to evade the binding of the 'Binding Spirit Rope'.

But it doesn't matter, we can do it again.

With a thought, she swung the Binding Spirit Rope away from the Kui Yin Heavy Water that bound it, and once again coiled around Song Wen.

The next moment, her previously confident expression turned to astonishment.

Then, Song Wen raised his left hand, which was crackling with lightning, and slammed it heavily on his own head.

"Bang!"

His head exploded, and his mangled body fell to the ground.

What's going on?

Suicide?

The Qingyan looked on in disbelief.

But she soon discovered something unusual.

The fallen body was a corpse that had been dead for an unknown period of time; it did not resemble the body of someone who had just died.

Life-Substitution Technique!

The Qingyan nun Qingyan's eyes were filled with excitement. Originally, she had only done Su Gan a favor and casually captured a living shaman, but she hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.

If one could obtain the Life-Substitution Technique's place from this person, it would provide an additional trump card for survival.

She quickly scanned the surroundings with her Divine Sense and found that even with her Golden Core Early Stage Divine Sense, she couldn't find that person.

The person escaped her Divine Sense perception range by using Life-Substitution Technique.

How is that possible!

The Qingyan nun Qingyan looked on in disbelief. Although she had never practiced the Life-Substitution Technique, she had heard of this miraculous escape method.

The range of the Life-Substitution Technique can only be within the area covered by Divine Sense.

How could that person, a mere Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator, have a stronger Divine Sense than I, a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator?

After a short while, unable to find Song Wen, the Qingyan reached out and beckoned to the Kui Yin Heavy Water that Song Wen had left behind, and the Kui Yin Heavy Water was taken into her hand.

The Kui Yin Heavy Water has been refined by Song Wen, and it contains the Divine Sense aura left by Song Wen. It is not difficult to find Song Wen by following the Divine Sense aura, but it will take a little time.

Ten miles away, on the back of a Xiao Shan, Song Wen's figure suddenly appeared.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Song Wen raised his head, his gaze coldly fixed on the graceful figure in mid-air.

He had used the Life-Substitution Technique's place many times, but only after being fatally attacked and forced to use it.

This is the first time that someone has been driven to the brink of despair and chosen suicide as Life-Substitution Technique.

The feeling of delivering a fatal blow to oneself is extremely unpleasant. Even now, he is still shaken.

"No matter who you are! One day, I will make you pay the price." Song Wen secretly vowed in his heart.

Seeing that the other party couldn't find him for the time being, Song Wen felt somewhat relieved.

With the help of the Sacred Beetle Gu, Song Wen's Divine Sense could detect objects up to about twelve miles away, while the perception range of Golden Core Early Stage was only eight miles.

He took out a healing pill and swallowed it.

This was not a place to linger, so Song Wen dared not stay any longer. After carefully discerning the direction, he turned and darted into the dense forest beside him.

His movement immediately startled the birds and beasts in the woods.

High in the sky, the Qingyan saw this scene and her lips twitched slightly. "Found you!"

His figure transformed into a blur, rapidly rushing towards Song Wen.

When Song Wen entered her perception range, she used the same trick again, and the Binding Spirit Rope flew out once more.

Sensing the Binding Spirit Rope behind him getting closer and closer, Song Wen's face turned anxious. He frantically activated his Thunder Escape Technique, his figure constantly shuttling through the dense forest.
