Pursuit by a Nascent Soul Cultivator

"Stop!" Wind Eagle suddenly shouted. "The soul within the Holy Demon is yours."

Before Yinshuo could reply, Yuan Hao hurriedly said, "Wind Eagle, what do you mean? You actually made a deal with Yinshuo. Have you forgotten how many Demon Race he killed?"

Wind Eagle said, "Yuan Hao, we are both seriously injured and should not stay here any longer. It would be best to leave as soon as possible. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback."

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Yuan Hao reluctantly said, "Fine, it will be as you say."

Yinshuo's face lit up with joy. "Yuan Hao, you control the Profound Yin Heavy Water to expose the head of the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast, allowing my Corpse-Baleful Qi to invade its body and force out its soul."

Yuan Hao did as he was told, and the Profound Yin Heavy Water slowly transformed, revealing the head of the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast.

Immediately, the Corpse-Baleful Qi poured in from the mouth of the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast, flowing throughout its entire body.

A moment later.

A ball of light the size of a fist was forced out of the mouth of the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast.

A small human figure could be vaguely seen inside the sphere of light.

The Corpse-Baleful Qi, swirling with the ball of light, arrived before Yinshuo.

"Senior Xugeng, you have finally fallen into my hands."

"Do you know my name?" a voice came from within the sphere of light.

"That's natural. Many of the legacies of the Nether God Temple have fallen into the hands of my Limitless Island," Yinshuo said with a smile.

"It seems you've come for me. What do you want from me?"

"We'll discuss these matters in detail once we return to Limitless Island."

Yinshuo took out a Soul Bottle and sealed the ball of light inside.

"Farewell, gentlemen," Yinshuo said, bowing to the two demons.

Then, he turned and vanished into the sky.

Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao collected the corpse of the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast and headed towards the sea.

On the other hand, let's look at Song Wen's side.

After being teleported back to the valley, he found that the Nascent Soul Cultivator were all doing their own thing and had no time to pay attention to them, the Golden Core cultivators.

Feeling somewhat relieved, Song Wen immediately activated his Thunder Escape Technique and headed out of the valley.

"Thief, don't run!"

This is Xing Yixuan discovered Song Wen.

She urged her movement Movement Method to chase after Song Wen, and at the same time, she waved the Raging Water Banner, summoning several torrents that rushed towards Song Wen.

Song Wen felt somewhat helpless.

This woman has her eye on me again!

As he was pondering a way to escape, a blood-red token fell from the sky not far ahead.

Song Wen's expression changed slightly. The blood-red token that was falling was almost identical to the other tokens he had obtained that were related to the Divine Blood Sect.

With Xing Yixuan closing in from behind, and the Xing Family's Nascent Soul Cultivator potentially returning at any moment, the situation was critical, clearly not the time to covet treasures.

Song Wen initially intended to ignore the blood-red token, but in an instant, he came up with a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

The Shadow Gu flapped its wings and flew out, soaring towards the blood-red token in mid-air.

After seizing the blood-red token, it headed east, a completely different direction from the north where Song Wen had fled.

If Xing Yixuan is greedy for the treasures in the secret realm, she is very likely to be lured away by the Shadow Gu.

However, to Song Wen's disappointment, Xing Yixuan seemed to have a deep obsession with the Heavenly Spirit Pill, or perhaps, her repeated failures to kill Song Wen had made her hate him.

Xing Yixuan didn't even glance at the Shadow Gu, and quickly followed Song Wen.

At the same time, she activated the Raging Water Banner, summoning several torrents that rushed towards Song Wen.

Looking at the raging torrent behind him and Xing Yixuan getting closer and closer, three transparent blades suddenly appeared between Song Wen's brows.

The sharp blade veered around Song Wen, then suddenly accelerated, shooting towards Xing Yixuan behind him.

After Song Wen advanced to the Late Golden Core Stage realm, the number of <Soul-Concentrating Spike> he Divine Sense increased to three.

At the same time, he slowed down, letting the rapids carry him away.

Several torrents instantly engulfed his figure, and then, under the violent tearing of the torrents, Song Wen was instantly torn apart by five horses.

On the other side, Xing Yixuan saw three sharp blades shooting towards her, and a look of horror flashed in her eyes.

She never expected that Song Wen actually possessed the <Soul-Concentrating Spike> Cultivation Method, and that he had even taken the Heavenly Spirit Pill, successfully cultivating the second level of <Soul-Concentrating Spike>.

Immediately, her expression became somewhat flustered, and she hurriedly activated the beast bone Law Treasure to protect her Sea of Consciousness.

Two of the three Divine Sense Blades were blocked by the white light emitted from the beast bones, and the remaining blade was greatly weakened, failing to harm Xing Yixuan's Sea of Consciousness.

With the crisis averted, Xing Yixuan turned her head and saw Song Wen being torn apart by the raging torrent.

Xing Yixuan's face lit up with joy, but the joy vanished in an instant, replaced by deep suspicion.

Given Song Wen's previous performance, how could he be killed so easily?

With a thought, Xing Yixuan calmed the turbulent current.

Song Wen was nowhere to be seen!

There was only one Corpse Puppet torn to pieces!

Xing Yixuan was both angry and somewhat shocked.

"This person concocts so many Death-Substitute Puppet, isn't he afraid of damaging his soul? Does he perhaps possess a method for cultivating his soul?"

She had personally witnessed Song Wen use the Death-Substitute Puppet twice already.

Xing Yixuan was shocked and angry, but she did not give up. She used her Divine Sense to scan the area.

She discovered that Song Wen had already fled more than ten miles to the east, and was standing next to the Gu Worm that was holding the blood-red token.

Just as Xing Yixuan was about to give chase to the east, she sensed that after Song Wen put away the Gu Worm, his body exploded into a cloud of blood mist and disappeared from her perception range.

Anger surged in her eyes, and she rose up, gazing eastward.

She subconsciously assumed that Song Wen must have fled eastward.

Surrounded by dense forest to the east, there was not a trace of blood mist to be seen.

However, the truth was completely the opposite of her guess.

At the foot of a mountain about 160 miles west of the valley, Song Wen's figure suddenly appeared.

Song Wen took out two jade bottles, drank the Essence Blood inside, and then used the Blood Escape Technique again.

When he reappeared, he was 350 miles west of the valley, in a small canyon.

Only then can the value of Song Wen's high-priced purchase of the map be truly demonstrated.

Song Wen was intimately familiar with the terrain near Fangzhu City, and could quickly find a secluded landing spot in his mind to use the terrain and dense forest to conceal the blood mist generated by the <Blood Escape Technique>.

After consuming two more bottles of Essence Blood, he quickly disguised himself as an old man.

Then, he concealed his presence and moved through the dense forest, continuing westward.

Fangzhu City is over a thousand miles to the west. There are many Rogue Cultivator around Fangzhu City. As long as he blends in, not only Xing Yixuan, but even if the entire Xing Family were to mobilize, they would not be able to find him.

A little over half an hour later, Song Wen arrived at a mountain peak three hundred li outside Fangzhu City.

Here, one can often see Rogue Cultivator coming and going from Fangzhu City.

He adjusted his breathing, concealing his Late Qi Refinement stage of Qi Refining, took out his flying boat, and leisurely headed towards Fangzhu City.

As for Xing Yixuan, Song Wen never encountered her again; perhaps she is still somewhere far away, searching for her.

As we entered Fangzhu City, it was already getting dark.

By this time, the Spell Arts Tournament had long since ended, but Fangzhu City was still bustling with people, clearly indicating that many outside cultivators had not yet left.

On the southern edge of Fangzhu City, Song Wen found a cheap inn for cultivators and checked in.

Midnight.

Song Wen, who was sitting on the couch meditating, suddenly felt a powerful Divine Sense descend upon him.

This Divine Sense seemed to be searching for something, quickly scanning without pausing.

"This is the Divine Sense of Nascent Soul Cultivator! Is it coming towards me? Is the Xing Family determined to find the murderer who killed Xing Liren?"

Song Wen secretly speculated in his heart.

He suddenly stood up, staring at the sky in shock.

It wasn't that he was making a fuss; the Divine Sense he had just encountered was completely undisguised, and all the cultivators in the inn sensed its presence, looking up at the sky in astonishment.

His complete silence would seem rather odd.

That night, Fangzhu City was far from peaceful.

The Divine Sense scanned the entire southern city several times.

Perhaps they discovered something, and several battles broke out.

However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was enormous, and the battle ended quickly.
