Demonic Cultivators' Pursuit, Return to Heavenly Spirit Isle
After reading the Pill Canon, Chen Nianzhi said, "It's been many years since we broke through to the Tier 4 High-Grade Alchemist level. The materials for refining this Origin-Restoring Pill are relatively easy to find. We can try to advance our Alchemy Art to the Tier 5 later."
"Alright."
Jiang Linglong nodded. Over the years, they had refined many batches of Tier 4 High-Grade pills, and their Alchemy Art were already quite advanced.
Now that his Law Power is no weaker than that of Nascent Soul Cultivator, he can indeed try to break through to the Tier 5 Alchemist.
After taking stock of their spoils, the two continued to steer the Heavenly Crane Treasure Boat towards Demon-Suppressing Island. After traveling more than a million miles, Chen Nianzhi suddenly felt a throbbing sensation between her eyebrows.
He frowned, somewhat uneasy, and said, "I feel uneasy; I'm afraid there might be trouble."
"It seems demons are chasing after us."
Jiang Linglong's expression also changed. Chen Nianzhi's intuition was extraordinary, and she had relied on it to overcome many crises along the way. Since she now felt uneasy, it was likely that disaster was about to befall her.
Thinking of this, she quickly said, "It seems we can't stay here any longer."
Sensing something was wrong, the two simply abandoned the Heavenly Crane Treasure Boat and flew away into the distant void aboard their Life-Bound Immortal Sword.
With their cultivation level, they could wield their Life-Bound Immortal Sword at a speed comparable to chasing stars and the moon, covering millions of miles in a single day.
However, this would consume a lot of Law Power, and the spectacle would be enormous, with the light of the immortal sword piercing the sky visible for thousands of miles around.
They were reluctant to make such a show of themselves in the demon realm, but Chen Nianzhi now suspected that Nascent Soul demons were besieging him, so he simply flew at full speed, wanting to fly out of the Blood God Sea Region as soon as possible.
In fact, not long after they left, several streaks of light caught up with them, and several Demonic Path Titan, led by Young Master Wangchuan, landed there.
The Black-Robed True Lord looked at the clouds parted by the sword light and sneered, "It seems they've noticed something amiss."
"Chase them immediately!"
As soon as Young Master Wangchuan finished speaking, several Demonic Path True Lord piloted Tier 5 Demon Boat and followed the sword marks in pursuit.
After chasing them for most of the day, they finally pierced through the void and saw the sword light of the two flying through the void.
"They came so fast!"
Seeing the Tier 5 Demon Boat chasing after them, Chen Nianzhi's expression changed. He quickly activated the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to escape through the void, and in the blink of an eye, he carried the two of them across more than 100,000 miles of void.
Upon discovering that the two had vanished into thin air, the Young Master Wangchuan's face turned ashen, and he roared in fury, "A Void Spirit Treasure!"
"Don't worry, young master, they won't get away."
The Blood-Robed Ancestor spoke, and then he summoned the Demon Treasure Heavenly Secrets Seal. In just half a quarter of an hour, he calculated the location of the two people, and then urged the Tier 5 Demon Boat to catch up.
More than a day later, the Devil Cultivator caught up again, and Chen Nianzhi had no choice but to once again activate the Yin-Yang Void Realm to break through the void and escape.
This chase and escape lasted for more than ten days in the blink of an eye.
Unbeknownst to her, Chen Nianzhi escaped from the Blood God Sea Region and entered the Human Race Sea.
On this day, Chen Nianzhi sat upright on the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword, her face somewhat pale as she opened her eyes.
Seeing that he had woken up, Jiang Linglong couldn't help but ask worriedly, "How are you feeling?"
"My Law Power has recovered by 30%, and I can barely activate the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to escape into the void two or three more times."
Chen Nianzhi said with some helplessness, "These days, the Devil Cultivator have caught up with us many times, and each time I've only been able to shake them off thanks to my Yin-Yang Void Mirror."
However, activating the Yin-Yang Void to traverse the void consumed a great deal of energy, and even his Law Power was almost unable to sustain it.
Left with no other choice, he could only let Jiang Linglong ride the immortal sword to escape into the sky, while he himself conserved his energy and activated the Yin-Yang Void Mirror.
In order to propell her Life-Bound Immortal Sword to full speed for an extended period, Jiang Linglong has also consumed a significant amount of her magical Law Power, which will likely reduce her current combat strength.
Thinking of their current predicament, Chen Nianzhi said with a wry smile, "It's a pity we don't have Fifth-Order Treasure Boat, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a sorry state."
"Don't worry." Seeing his expression, Jiang Linglong comforted him, "We've already left the Devil Race's territory. Five million miles ahead is Demon-Suppressing Island, and then we'll be completely safe."
"Um..."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, and was about to say something when she noticed a streak of light piercing through the void in the distance.
The vessel that arrived was none other than the Fifth-Order Treasure Boat of the Young Master Wangchuan. Upon seeing the sword light of the two, he summoned a set of array flags from a great distance.
Chen Nianzhi sensed something was wrong. This was a set of array flags that sealed off space. Once it covered this void, the Yin-Yang Void might also be suppressed.
Upon realizing this, he immediately activated the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to escape into the void once more, instantly appearing 100,000 miles away.
"Hateful!"
Seeing Chen Nianzhi escape again, the Young Master Wangchuan roared in regret, "Chase her!"
The Black-Robed True Lord beside him frowned, and said with some seriousness, "But we have already left the Blood God Sea Region, and the next step is the sea area of Demon-Suppressing Island."
"Given your identity, if you were exposed in the Human Race's waters, they would likely seize any opportunity to eliminate you."
"If we don't kill them today, we may never have another chance."
Upon Young Master Wangchuan's expression changed repeatedly, and he said with a face full of resentment.
However, after a moment's hesitation, he still refused to take the risk himself, so he said to the three True Lord, including the Black-Robed Ancestor, "I request that my three senior brothers go and kill those two."
Upon hearing this, the three Demonic Path True Lord revealed a few cold smiles on their faces. Devil Cultivator value profit above all else, and even among masters and disciples, there is often scheming and intrigue.
It's unlikely that Young Master Wangchuan can command them with just his words. The Blood-Robed Ancestor said, "If we chase them to the Human Race seas, the price you offered earlier probably won't be enough."
"This..."
A cold glint flashed in Young Master Wangchuan's eyes, but he could only smile and say, "Unfortunately, I can't afford the price. It seems I can only seek revenge after I break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul."
"..."
Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong continued their journey, flying for several more days, only to find that Young Master Wangchuan still hadn't caught up.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It seems that Forgotten River is still not bold enough and doesn't dare to openly enter the Human Race territory."
This was somewhat expected. Forgotten River, a potential Devil Cultivator cultivator, was also a direct disciple of the Blood God Ancestor, and would likely be able to cultivate to at least the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
Such beings have long been a thorn in the side of the Human Race's True Lord, who are eager to kill them before they break through to the Nascent Soul.
The two returned to Demon-Suppressing Island and rested in their cave for over a month before their Law Power was mostly restored.
They didn't stay on Demon-Suppressing Island, but instead took Ye Qingfeng and used Teleportation Array array to head towards Heavenly Spirit Isle. After spending more than half a year on the journey, they finally returned to Heavenly Spirit Isle.
As soon as they returned to Heavenly Spirit Isle, Heavenly Spirit Fairy excitedly found them and couldn't help but ask, "How did the trip go?"
