A map was placed on the table before the three of them. It glowed with light. It formed a three-dimensional image in the air. It was an underground mental map, much larger than Li Qingshan's.
This underground mental map was what the disciples of the three mountains had come up with over all these years. They had sacrificed countless lives to determine a relatively safe region. It was Milliped's territory!
The Golden Pheasant Elder pointed at a corner of the map with his skinny, claw-like hand. "The disciples of our Pheasant's Grace mountain will enter the cave from here." This was the safest path. There were a few spiritual lands with spiritual herbs along the way, and they were all extremely valuable.
The Green Vine Elder stared at it for quite a while before shaking his head slowly. "That won't do."
"Yes." The Lone Grave Elder nodded quickly before returning to his half-dead state.
The Golden Pheasant Elder stood up impatiently. "I just can't stand you two acting like this. Can't you be a little faster? Whether you agree or not, hurry up and come up with a plan. You just waste so much time every time!"
The Green Vine Elder said, "Fellow Golden Pheasant, you're already so old, yet you're still so impatient!"
"Yes." The Lone Grave Elder spat out another word.
The Golden Pheasant Elder glared at him. Just when he was about to say something, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his face changed drastically. He abandoned the two elders and rushed out the window.
In the town below the Green Vine mountain, everyone raised their heads at the same time. All they saw was a speck of golden light rise up from the top of the Green Vine mountain, like the brightest star in the night. Qi Practitioners with exceptional eyesight managed to make out the origin of the golden light. It was a golden pheasant, dragging its long, golden tail feathers as it shot through the night sky with unbelievable speed. It was like a golden comet.
All the Qi Practitioners could not help but sigh inside. So this was the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
The town fell silent for a while before returning to its hubbub. It was even louder than Just Now. All the Qi Practitioners seemed to have reignited their fighting spirit and ambition.
They had no idea why a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had always kept a low profile would suddenly rush out of the Green Vine mountain. They wondered if something had happened to the alliance of the three mountains.
… …
Li Qingshan suddenly looked at the sky. His gaze pierced through the wind and snow, and a golden star appeared on the distant horizon. It shot straight towards his direction. Holy Church
Because the distance was too far, the speed did not seem very fast, but Li Qingshan felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if a disaster was imminent and his life was at stake.
This Golden Star was not something he could fight against right now.
He restrained his aura and changed his direction to go deeper into the mountains. However, the golden star immediately changed its direction as well. He knew that his aura-concealing skill couldn't fool the senses of a Foundation Building cultivator.
He no longer hid his tracks and used an Acceleration Talisman to run toward the entrance of the underground cave with all his might.
This scene overlapped with that snowy night from a year ago. It was shockingly similar. Unknowingly, it was as if a reincarnation had passed and he had returned once more.
However, brother ox would not save him this time. He needed to rely on himself and Little Ann.
Little Ann followed Li Qingshan's instructions and hid in the dark clouds in the sky. She was prepared to come down and provide support as soon as she received Li Qingshan's signal. If Li Qingshan suppressed and hid his aura, then she had no aura at all. She was a special existence that hovered between life and death, neither alive nor dead, neither alive nor dead. No matter how sharp the Golden Pheasant Daoist's senses were, it was impossible for him to discover a hidden skeleton.
The scenery before him changed rapidly. Li Qingshan constantly conquered the rise and fall of the ground, but the golden star in the sky grew closer and closer. Li Qingshan felt an indescribable pressure, no longer the vague sense of danger.
The golden star grew larger and larger in his vision. Even from five kilometers away, Li Qingshan was shaken to the core by its glorious presence.
The golden pheasant also discovered the fleeing Li Qingshan. It raised its head and unfurled its wings, letting out a cry and shining with golden light.
Like the call of a golden pheasant, the sun that had sunk into the west rose into the sky once more. ("")
The golden light clearly revealed the form of the golden pheasant. The comb, beak, feathers, and feathers were all there. It was life-like, but it was like a fighting chicken, filled with fury.
The Golden Pheasant Elder's eyes widened like a fighting chicken as his hair and beard bristled. His beloved disciple had been killed, so he was filled with sorrow and fury. He swore revenge!
From the moment he saw Li Qingshan, he knew Li Qingshan was the person he was looking for. This was not because Li Qingshan was fleeing. As the sect master, he obviously knew about the humiliation of the inner sect disciple Song Ming in Salt Mountain city. However, the Proud Sword manor had been taken over by the Green Vine mountain afterwards, so the matter was left unsettled Just now.
When the "first senior brother" went to seek revenge for Song Ming, he definitely had to report it to his master, which was why he was bold enough to take the disciples of the Pheasant's Grace mountain with him. Never did he think he would actually die.
The resounding call of the golden pheasant shook up the mountains, constantly echoing through them. For a moment, the snowy peaks were filled with the cry of a pheasant.
Li Qingshan's ears ached as his mind shuddered. The true qi in his body began to churn uncontrollably. He could not help but be shocked. This was the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
The spirit turtle's daemon core in his body revolved, suppressing all of the discomfort. The cave was not far away now. All he had to do was make it over the mountain, and the valley up ahead would be there!
He could not let the golden pheasant approach him, or he would be in life-threatening danger with just a single strike.
However, at such a distance, Li Qingshan finally sensed the startling speed of the golden pheasant. The "first senior brother" could be regarded as fast as he could be, but compared to the golden pheasant, he seemed as slow as crawling on the ground.
And, the golden pheasant was not gliding. It was actually flying in the sky.
As soon as Li Qingshan reached the waist of the mountain, the golden pheasant was already one and a half kilometers away. With a twist of his foot, he forcefully changed directions and lunged towards the other side of the mountain.
The golden pheasant spread its wings and several dozen golden feathers fell off, shooting over like lightning. They were like rays of light from the sun. Every single one of them was even swifter and more vicious than the spiritual artifact controlled by the "first senior brother".
Li Qingshan had been expecting this move long ago. He would move left at times, right at other times, pause at times, or even head down at times. As a result, his movements became completely irregular.
The Whale's Ingestion of Water no longer spat out a weapon, but a huge ice shield that could protect him. Even with that, he was still worried, so he stuck a high grade Golden Armor Talisman on himself.
However, as soon as he did that, his eyes became filled with golden light. He did not even have the time to respond.
The ice shield shattered and the golden armor shattered. As if he had been struck by lightning, Li Qingshan shuddered all over.
A small hole appeared in his chest, and a golden light pierced through him. His tough skin, which could withstand the slashes of spirit artifacts, did not have much of an effect. The golden feather pierced through three layers of his defenses and pierced deeply into the mountain rocks.
The Golden Pheasant Elder frowned instead. With his cultivation at Foundation Establishment, he actually failed to kill a puny Qi Practitioner in a single strike. No one would believe him even if he said it. The Golden Pheasant's feather should have pierced through Li Qingshan's heart.
The defences Li Qingshan had cast down were not useless. It gave him a split second to react. At the last moment, he forcefully twisted his body, and only then did he avoid the attack. However, a sharp, scorching presence suddenly erupted from his body, as if it wanted to rip him to shreds and burn him to a crisp.
The golden pheasant stopped in the air. The Golden Pheasant Elder was in no hurry to pursue him. Even if it had failed to pierce through his chest, the spiritual energy within it was enough to kill him. Instead, he felt rather regretful. In his anger, he did not hold back. He should have captured him, interrogated him about his origins, and then tortured him to death!
Little Ann's face stiffened. Li Qingshan had never sent out a signal. The Golden Pheasant Elder had struck out with lightning speed, so Li Qingshan did not have the opportunity to send out a signal. He probably did not want her to take the risk either.
Flames of fury burned in her eye sockets. She was about to lunge over without any regard.
Li Qingshan suddenly leapt up from the ground, rolling and crawling around to the other side of the mountain and escaping from the Golden Pheasant Elder's sight.
The Golden Pheasant Elder was slightly taken aback. A vicious smile appeared on his face as he bellowed, "You'll regret it Just Now! Why don't you just die!"
Li Qingshan ignored him. Who knew how many times he had heard bullshit like that. The spirit turtle's daemon core came into play once again at a crucial moment, forcefully suppressing the foreign spiritual energy that had erupted in his body.
Suddenly, he beamed with joy. The cave recorded on the mental map was right before him. Just when he was about to charge in, a golden light enveloped his head.
With a flap of its wings, the golden pheasant flew over the top of the mountain and discovered Li Qingshan's tracks again. All it needed was a lunge and a claw, and it would be able to capture Li Qingshan in a single moment.
Little Ann clenched her fists so hard that they cracked. It took her tremendous willpower to remain in the air. If she lost her patience and appeared casually, not only would she be unable to help Li Qingshan, but it would be very likely for her to end his chance of survival instead. If she slipped up and was captured, Li Qingshan definitely would not be able to escape alone. Before absolute power, it was pointless for the weak to work together. Instead, it would drag them down.
Li Qingshan used all the strength in his body and leapt up, lunging towards the cave that was half-covered in snow and half-entangled by vines. Due to using too much strength, his bones and tendons creaked from twisting.
He turned around in the air and faced the sky. He stared calmly at the golden pheasant's claws that reached over quickly. Before the sharp claws had even reached him, he felt a piercing pain on his skin. From such a distance, he could already see the Golden Pheasant Elder's old, arrogant face inside the pheasant. Disdain and hatred intersected on his face.
The corner of Li Qingshan's lips curled up. The talisman in his hand flashed and cracked, turning into a scarlet-red ball of fire. It rose into the sky and landed in the claws of the golden pheasant.
The Golden Pheasant Elder's expression became one of shock. He blurted out, "A supreme grade talisman!"
Boom!
Red light illuminated the entire sky.
The mountains and rivers shook, and the ground shook!
The boulders in the distance were blasted high up into the sky, and in the center of the explosion, be it the rocks or the vegetation, everything was melted and turned into flowing lava. Then, it quickly condensed in the ice and snow, forming a black circle.
The Golden Pheasant Elder was unscathed, but the pheasant's right foot had completely vanished. His face was flushed and twisted.
