Bronze Key Coffin
Mi He and patted the spirit beast pouch at her waist.
A Demon Beast, resembling both a deer and a horse, suddenly appeared.
Mi He's spirit beast is called the Wind-Scale Beast. It is ten feet long and its body is covered with fine, bluish-gray scales. It treads on a gentle breeze and is a wind-type Demon Beast.
Upon seeing the appearance of the mid-stage fourth-tier Wind-Scale Beast, Song Wen knew he was no match for Mi He. He concealed himself in the dense forest and fled into the distance.
High in the sky, Mi He noticed Song Wen's movements, but she did not chase after him. Instead, she put away the white jade and waited where she was.
Her face was contorted in pain, one hand clutching her forehead, her body pressed limply against the back of the Wind- Wind-Scale Beast, as if only by relying on its support could she barely stand.
A few breaths later, Lei Yue rushed over.
"Mi He Daoist Mihe, are you injured?" Lei Yue asked with concern.
"That person is actually proficient in Divine Sense attack techniques. I was caught off guard and fell for his trick, causing some tremors in my Sea of Consciousness," Mi He said.
"What! He can also use Divine Sense attack techniques?" Lei Yue asked in surprise.
"Hmm." Mi He nodded, a hint of discomfort still showing between her brows. "But there's no need to worry too much. He's probably just entered the Nascent Soul Realm, and his Divine Sense awareness is limited. As long as we Sea of Consciousness, his Divine Sense attacks won't harm us. I was careless just now and suffered a minor injury. I should recover after a short rest."
After catching her breath, Mi He continued.
"He went north. Go after him quickly, don't worry about me, you absolutely can't let him get away."
"Don't worry, he can't escape."
Lei Yue had no doubts and his figure transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the northern horizon.
The pain on Mi He's face quickly faded, replaced by a cold smile.
Lei Yue was surrounded by lightning, moving at a speed that rivaled the stars and the moon, covering a distance of thousands of miles in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Suddenly, he spotted Song Wen fleeing rapidly in the dense forest ahead.
"You brat, prepare to die!"
Lei Yue roared and shot his short spear towards the dense forest below.
Song Wen was somewhat surprised to see Lei Yue chasing after him; he had assumed that Mi He would be the Mi He to catch up first.
He looked back up at the sky, but it was empty; there was no sign of Mi He at all.
Song Wen, who had intended to use the Blood Escape Technique again, suddenly had a change of heart.
The Mi He possesses a soul-type defensive Law Treasure does not mean that Lei Yue also possesses a soul-type defensive Law Treasure.
Song Wen raised his hand and tossed it into the air, and a blood-red Xiao Shan several tens of feet high suddenly appeared.
Blood Mountain crashed rapidly into the short spear that shot towards it.
Just as the two were about to make contact, the Blood Mountain suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of blood mist.
Blood mist instantly filled the dense forest, staining the trees within a radius of dozens of miles with a layer of bloody light.
The short spear pierced into the blood mist without any resistance.
The missed attack left Lei Yue feeling very uncomfortable, as if the power he had gathered had nowhere to go. His Law Power stagnated, like a flood that had been blocked and could not find an outlet.
He quickly adjusted his internal energy and calmed his Law Power. Then he continued to control the short spear, preparing to attack Song Wen.
However, he was shocked to discover that he had lost Song Wen's location.
His Divine Sense was unable to perceive Song Wen's exact location.
Suddenly, thirty miles away from Lei Yue, the blood mist surged violently, and nine transparent blades shot out from the blood mist.
Lei Yue's expression changed drastically. The Divine Sense power contained in the transparent blade was not at the level of a Nascent Soul Realm as Mi He had said. The Divine Sense power on it was almost comparable to that of Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator.
Lei Yue had no time to think; he used his Thunder Escape Technique to retreat rapidly.
At the same time, concentrate fully and guard your Sea of Consciousness.
Lei Yue, a dignified Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, didn't even possess a single soul defense Law Treasure.
Nine transparent, sharp blades pierced Lei Yue's Sea of Consciousness in a single file.
"Ah..."
Each sharp blade piercing his Sea of Consciousness caused Lei Yue to feel an unbearable pain, making him unable to help but let out a scream.
Fortunately, Song Wen's Divine Sense power was lower than his, so he was able to remain conscious.
He endured the pain and continued to use his escape technique to create distance between himself and Song Wen, avoiding being injured by the Soul-Concentrating Spike again.
Song Wen watched Lei Yue retreat and shook his head. His Divine Sense power was still too weak, and the damage he could inflict on Lei Yue was limited.
If his Divine Sense power could break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he should be able to temporarily disorient Lei Yue's consciousness, allowing him to take Lei Yue's life.
Song Wen withdrew the Blood Sea Seal and prepared to leave, activating his Movement Method.
With Lei Yue and Mi He helping each other, he had no chance to defeat either of them.
Although he appeared unharmed during his battle with the two, his Law Power was severely depleted, with less than 40% of his remaining Law Power left.
Furthermore, he relied on the Blood Sea to forcefully withstand the attacks of the two men several times, causing him to suffer serious internal injuries.
It's time to leave.
Just then, Song Wen suddenly saw Mi He's figure appear on the horizon behind Lei Yue.
Mi He straddled the back of the Phoenix-Qilin Beast and arrived swiftly like a gentle breeze.
When Lei Yue saw Mi He arrive, his tense expression immediately relaxed a bit.
With Mi He keeping him in check, he no longer needed to worry about Song Wen's Divine Sense attacks.
Mi He approached, she activated her flying sword and slashed out.
However, the flying sword was not aimed at Song Wen in the dense forest below, but at Lei Yue, who was gritting his teeth and enduring the excruciating pain in his Sea of Consciousness.
Lei Yue was greatly alarmed and hurriedly urged his short spear to meet the attack.
However, compared to his previous attacks, the short spear's power was noticeably weakened, appearing somewhat sluggish and ineffective.
This was caused by the injury to Lei Yue's Sea of Consciousness, which greatly disturbed his mind, making it impossible for him to fully control the short spear.
After barely managing to block the flying sword's attack, Lei Yue roared in anger.
"Mi He, we've known each other for years, why did you attack me?"
Mi He remained expressionless and silent, her eyes filled with indifference.
She continued to urge her flying sword forward, relentlessly slashing at Lei Yue.
Seeing this, Song Wen was in no hurry to leave.
He stood atop a large tree and spoke with a mocking tone.
"Hehehe... Lei Yue, it seems you're not only someone else's dog, but also a stupid one. Your master is planning to kill you and eat you... Hehehe..."
Upon hearing this, Lei Yue's face instantly turned red, and his gaze towards Mi He seemed to be burning with intense passion.
He had gradually recovered from the attack of the Soul-Concentrating Spike, and his short spear attacks were gaining momentum.
"Mi He, the Lei Clan and the Beast Taming Sect have always been on good terms. Are you going to destroy the trust built up by the ancestors of the Beast Taming Sect and the Lei Clan?" Lei Yue roared, his voice like thunder.
Mi He said coldly, "Cui Huo is right. Your Lei Clan is merely an appendage of our Beast Taming Sect. The ancestors of the Beast Taming Sect allowed the Lei Clan to establish Lineage within the Beast Taming Sect's territory because they recognized the Lei Clan family's Thunder Method, which had a strong deterrent effect on demonic Corpse Puppet and ghosts. Yet you are oblivious to this, and you actually tried to embezzle the Bronze Key Coffin. You cannot be allowed to live!"
"Mi He, you are only the second Supreme Elder of the Beast Taming Sect. Can your decision represent True Person Yang Yu? He is the strongest cultivator in the Beast Taming Sect. Don't forget that a hundred years ago, when the righteous path besieged the Corpse Demon Sect, our Lei Clan made great contributions. True Person Yang Yu promised that as long as he was alive, he would protect our Lei Clan."
Lei Yue was clearly unwilling to break with the Beast Taming Sect and questioned them.
"If I kill you, will Senior Brother Yang Yu blame me? As long as I get the Bronze Key Coffin, he will actually approve of my actions. To tell you the truth, I originally planned to launch a sneak attack when you were extending your lifespan." Mi He with a look of disdain.
