The gloomy winds brushed past Li Yao's head and ears, only to be ripped into shreds by the chaotic spiritual energy and the crazily dancing lightning in the sky and the earth.
In such a violent magnetic field, the army of ghouls without the protection of physical bodies became the most vulnerable.
With that alone, he had gotten rid of at least ten percent of the pursuers.
Mother White Lotus and a few experts were the only ones who were still chasing Li Yao closely.
However, they could not persist for long, either.
BOOM! CRACK!
He entered the rainstorm ahead.
The storm on the ocean was falling like hailstones, turning the sky and the earth into a world of water. The sight, hearing, and senses of the pursuers were seriously disrupted.
Li Yao was still wearing the bizarre-shaped fins, except that the few fins were combined after cracking noises and became even wider, turning into ancillary flying magical equipment that looked like wings.
Li Yao dragged Long Yangjun and drew the most beautiful arcs in the middle of the lightning and thunder, making full use of the power of the wind, the rain, and the magnetic field. He was drifting unpredictably like a dry leaf in a wild wind without any pattern.
Mother White Lotus' roars and ghost flames brushed past him time and time again, but he was closer and closer to the febrile typhoon.
On the dark ocean up ahead, a deep purple storm could vaguely be seen, as if the deepest level of hell had ripped a gap in the sky and spurted out the fire of destruction that burned eternally.
It was exactly the febrile typhoon.
Even Li Yao did not have the courage to take the blast of the febrile typhoon head-on without the protection of the Crystal Suit.
He did not intend to crash into the febrile typhoon recklessly, either. He merely cut into the febrile typhoon close to its edge and took advantage of the roaring force of the febrile typhoon as if he were 'surfing'.
The febrile typhoon was not fully developed yet, but it was already hundreds of kilometers in diameter. Naturally, the outermost part of the typhoon was rotating at the highest speed. The wind was blowing so furiously that it seemed to be able to extinguish the sun.
Hu!
Li Yao's arms and legs shook. The 'fins', or 'wings', were expanded to twice their original size immediately and caught the febrile typhoon. They became round like the sails of a ship that had taken in enough wind, and their speed was immediately doubled.
Long Yangjun, who was tied to him tightly with a chain, was dangling behind him like a kite. Finally, she could not help but scream miserably in the roaring wind.
Mother White Lotus was controlling a puppet. The combination of a soul and a puppet could not be as close as the combination of a living person and their own soul. If she barged into the febrile typhoon recklessly, it was very possible that her soul would be blown out of the puppet.
Although she was the 'mother of all ghosts', she was unable to persist for long in the febrile typhoon without the protection of a shell.
The Humerus Colossal Dragon stopped abruptly at the periphery of the febrile typhoon and spat out dozens of clusters of dazzling ghostly fire into the depths of the febrile typhoon, which exploded into enormous lotus flowers of light. But they did not even manage to touch Li Yao's skin before they were torn apart and obliterated.
Mother White Lotus was not as crazy as Li Yao to dash in the febrile typhoon after all.
It was needless to say that Han Yuantai and Qi Changsheng's representative, whose Cultivation was one level lower than theirs, could only watch in bewilderment as Li Yao and Long Yangjun became smaller and smaller in the storm of purple flames and eventually disappeared.
"Kacha"
Wan Mingzhu was so infuriated that the horns of the Humerus Wyrm that were as thick as thighs were crushed by her.
She shrieked in a high-pitched, lightning-like voice. "Who — who is this person exactly?"
At dawn the next day …
When the febrile typhoon passed by, all the filth in the world seemed to have been cleansed. As far as the eye could see, the sky was blue and cloudless, and the sun was shining brightly.
Not far away from the shoreline, on a desolate island that was surrounded by steep reefs …
Such desolate islands could be found everywhere along the shoreline. There were at least ten thousand of them.
Most of the desolate islands were less than half an acre in size. They were just larger reefs, surrounded by steep cliffs and hidden reefs. They lacked deep-water ports and gentle beaches. They were of little value.
Even the murderous pirates would not consider such places as nests.
Only birds would rest here, so many of the islands were piled up with stinky bird droppings, forming a vast expanse of gray.
Deep inside the desolate island, the previously uneven areas had been blown and leveled by Li Yao into a flat land the size of a grain-sunning field.
"Ew!"
Long Yangjun was soaked in sweat. She shivered on the ground and retched nonstop.
There was no telling whether it was because she had drunk too much rainwater or because she was awed by the febrile typhoon and the thunder.
This super assassin of the Ghost Character Organization was like a half-dead fish at this moment. His face was deathly pale, and his expression was filled with fear. Where was the calmness that he had displayed during the confrontation with Li Yao last night?
Li Yao had intentionally led her to break into the febrile typhoon partly because he wanted to intimidate her and completely crush her mental defense.
It seemed that the effect was not bad at all.
Li Yao was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the desolate island. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing in silence. Bright green flames of spiritual energy were dancing around him, making him look mysterious and mysterious.
Breaking into the febrile typhoon would consume an astonishing amount of his spiritual energy, especially when he was carrying such a burden as Long Yangjun.
Although this place was very close to the mainland, and the sky was clear and the sun was bright.
Qi Zhongdao and the other super Yuanying must be searching for Mother White Lotus and himself nearby. Under such circumstances, it was unlikely that Mother White Lotus would chase after them with a large army of ghouls.
However, it was better to be safe than sorry. It would be better for him to adjust his spiritual energy and recover his peak combat ability as soon as possible.
Just now, when Long Yangjun was unprepared, Li Yao had secretly injected himself with a powerful recovery drug that he had brought from the Xing Yao Federation. It was multiple times more effective than the best 'recovery pill' of the Ancient Sages Sector.
"Senior Spiritual Vulture."
Long Yangjun vomited for a long time on the ground, almost throwing up her internal organs. She looked at Li Yao in awe and hesitated for a long time before she finally summoned her courage and said, "I didn't know that your Cultivation was so shocking, senior. Even the febrile typhoon that all Cultivators are scared of is under your control at your will.
"Since you boast such astounding Cultivation and are a world-renowned master of refining, I believe that you will be of great help in the exploration of the Divine Palace. Then, we can absolutely cooperate. There is no reason for us to fight each other at all.
"Lord Wang values the heroes of the world above all. Now that you have learned the secrets of the Divine Palace, and it is impossible for me to hurt you, it seems to be the only choice for me to ask you to join us in the great endeavor.
"For you, senior, even if you kill me and steal the map of the Divine Palace and the Thousand Stars Tray, you will not be able to accomplish anything on your own.
"First of all, the map of the Divine Palace itself contains infinite mysteries and can only be opened in a very secret way. There is no way that you can open it on your own, senior.
"Secondly, even if you uncover all the mysteries of the map of the Divine Palace, it will only be the tip of the iceberg for the secrets of the Divine Palace itself. Lord Wang knows a lot of secrets himself, and he will have to open them in person.
"Senior, you are only a visiting elder of the Purple Pole Sword Sect right now. Besides, you were born as a barbarian Cultivator, and you are not on the same side as the Cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty. Since it is impossible for you to open the Divine Palace on your own, you will have to find someone to cooperate with.
"Do you think that the Grand Mystery Sect, the Purple Pole Sword Sect, and other Cultivators are more trustworthy than Lord Wang, senior?"
Li Yao slightly opened his eyes and stared at Long Yangjun, deep in thought. He asked, "How did your Lord Wang learn the secrets of the Divine Palace?"
Hearing the hesitation in his words, Long Yangjun was overjoyed. She replied dutifully, "After the Great Qian Dynasty was founded a thousand years ago, not only did it inherit the enormous royal library left by the previous dynasty, it also collected a lot of incomplete ancient books from everywhere in the world. Most of the secret stories from the ancient times are stored in the library.
"Before Lord Wang rose to power, he was the treasurer of the royal library of the Great Qian Dynasty. He was responsible for sorting the complicated, all-encompassing ancient books and repairing the mottled incomplete books.
"He was a genius in the first place, and he worked as the treasurer for thirty years. He knew the piles of ancient books that nobody had dug into for thousands of years. He sorted out countless clues from the complicated incomplete books and pieced them together. All of them pointed to the Divine Palace.
"The clues alone were not enough. A lot of magical equipment and secret maps related to the Divine Palace were scattered everywhere. One of the main roles of the Ghost Character was to help Lord Wang collect everything related to the Divine Palace."
"That explains a lot."
Li Yao finally understood part of the reason why Wang Xi was stirring trouble in the world of Cultivators. It seemed that it was not as simple as helping the emperor keep the Cultivators in check. He nodded and said, "Why exactly is your Lord Wang so eager to explore the Divine Palace?"
Long Yangjun was amused. "It is possible to find the invincible Cloud Qin Gold Statues and the opportunity to embark on the path to the deities' realm. Who in the world of Cultivators would not want to explore the Divine Palace?"
Li Yao slightly frowned, feeling that the whole thing was not as simple as it seemed. Thinking for a moment, he asked again, "I noticed that you were quite familiar with the map of the Divine Palace, as if you had touched it before."
"The core of the map of the Divine Palace has been hidden in East Peace County as an ultimate treasure for the local Cultivation sects to stabilize their headquarters. They would not allow outsiders to approach it easily. Naturally, it was impossible for me to have touched it before," Long Yangjun said.
Long Yangjun said, "However, Lord Wang once drew a lot of similar pictures for me to study. That's why I managed to figure out the operation method. As for exactly how Lord Wang learned the operation method of the map of the Divine Palace, I have no idea."
Long Yangjun was just one of Wang Xi's tools. However trusting Wang Xi was, it was impossible for him to let her know all the secrets.
