Without a word, Zhou Wen rode the Earth Elemental Beast and used Earth Escape to escape.
However, after the Earth Elemental Beast's Earth Escape ended, it realized that the elder had also escaped from the soil beside it. He had also used Earth Escape to follow.
Zhou Wen cursed inwardly as he made the Earth Elemental Beast use Earth Escape again. This time, Zhou Wen chose to let the Earth Elemental Beast expend all its Essence Energy in one go to carry out a long-distance Earth Escape that spanned hundreds of kilometers.
Just as he came out of the ground, he saw the old man walk out from a big tree next to him, like a ghost hidden in the trees.
Wood Escape Technique? Zhou Wen felt a chill run down his spine.
Not only did the elder know the Earth Escape technique, but he also knew the Wood Escape technique. If not for the fact that he couldn't use escape techniques in the imperial mausoleum, Zhou Wen wouldn't have escaped so easily.
"You can't escape." The elder stared coldly at Zhou Wen. He wasn't in a hurry at all as he slowly approached Zhou Wen like a cat catching a mouse.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Wen used Civilized Country's teleportation ability. At the same time the teleportation ended, the Invisibility Cloak's invisibility power was activated.
After activating the Invisibility Cloak, he teleported several times and changed his direction of escape.
But soon, Zhou Wen realized that the elder had chased after him again. In front of the elder hung something that resembled a hairpin. No matter which direction the invisible Zhou Wen fled in, the hairpin would point in his direction.
The elder clearly couldn't see Zhou Wen, but with the hairpin's guidance, Zhou Wen couldn't escape.
Zhou Wen was extremely anxious. He only had three minutes of invisibility. If he couldn't shake off the elder in three minutes, ordinary invisibility was useless against such an expert.
I have less than two minutes of invisibility left. If I don't destroy that hairpin, I won't be able to escape. Zhou Wen made a prompt decision and stopped running. He suddenly changed his position and used his invisibility to slash at the hairpin floating beside the elder with Immortal Slaying.
The elder chased in the direction pointed by the hairpin, but the hairpin could only point in a direction, not a location. He never expected Zhou Wen to have the guts to turn around and charge back.
By the time he realized it, Zhou Wen had already arrived in front of the hairpin. The Light Concealment Sword slashed at the hairpin with the power of Immortal Slaying.
Almost at the same time, the cold-eyed elder struck out a crystal-like palm at Zhou Wen's chest. It was so fast that it was impossible to dodge.
Zhou Wen had no intention of dodging. The Light Concealment Sword slashed at the hairpin, slicing it into two.
As for Zhou Wen's chest, it was destroyed by the elder's palm, turning into a puff of white smoke.
When the white smoke dissipated, Zhou Wen had vanished. A tattered paper talisman floated to the ground.
"There's actually a Substitute Talisman." The elder frowned slightly as he searched for Zhou Wen, but he didn't discover anything.
Without the hairpin, the elder couldn't find Zhou Wen's location.
"You can't escape." The elder took out a few copper coins, condensed his Primordial Energy, and threw them to the ground. Then, he pinched his fingers to calculate, as though he was trying to figure out Zhou Wen's location.
However, after calculating for a while, a puzzled look appeared on his face. "Strange, why is my Six Recombinant Trigram Art unable to divine his location?"
Zhou Wen was frantically running for his life when he suddenly felt something tremble. On careful look, he realized that it was something Ya 'er was wearing.
It was the three copper coins and red string that Zhou Wen had taken out of the Pixiu's stomach when he killed it.
Later, he took it out for Ya 'er to play with, so he wore it on her hand. At that moment, the copper coin automatically trembled for some unknown reason.
Zhou Wen didn't dare stop as he continued fleeing with Ya 'er. Thankfully, the elder didn't chase after him again. The invisibility period had passed, so Zhou Wen heaved a sigh of relief.
All this time, he had been drawing Substitute Talismans whenever he had time. Up to now, he had only succeeded in drawing two. He had just used one, so now he only had one left.
Zhou Wen didn't dare stay any longer. He summoned the Great Might Vajra Bull and made it run into the mountains at its fastest speed.
Zhou Wen had the Pocket Universe's positioning system, so he wasn't afraid of getting lost. He was just afraid that he would bump into an unknown dimensional zone. However, at this stage, he couldn't care less. All he could do was choose hidden places to escape.
After traversing one mountain after another, Zhou Wen didn't know how far he had run. The path was long gone, but there was a small river.
Zhou Wen followed the river. There were large peach blossom forests on both sides of the river. The peach blossoms fell into the river and flowed along the river, making it look especially beautiful.
After traveling for more than ten kilometers, he reached the end of the river. In front of him was a mountain. Just as Zhou Wen was about to climb over the mountain, he saw a gap in the mountain that he could pass through. He could vaguely see the light on the other side of the mountain.
Zhou Wen didn't hesitate as he passed through the mountain gap.
The mountain gap was extremely narrow at first, but after walking for a short distance, it gradually widened. Soon, Zhou Wen passed through the mountain and saw a beautiful valley.
There were many wooden houses and bamboo buildings in the valley. There were bamboo forests and flowers everywhere, and there were also large peach blossom forests. The wooden houses and bamboo buildings dotted the area like a paradise on earth.
What's going on? Zhou Wen felt that something was amiss. This was because after he passed through the mountain gap, his Pocket Universe couldn't locate him.
This place … Could it be the legendary place? Zhou Wen sized up the valley with an odd expression and suddenly thought of an article he had learned in school.
The article was called "The Peach Blossom Spring." It was about a fisherman who mistakenly entered a peach blossom garden. There, he saw a beautiful village that was isolated from the rest of the world. However, when he went out, he couldn't find the peach blossom forest or the village.
No matter how Zhou Wen looked at it, it seemed identical to the place described in "Peach Blossom Spring." The only difference was that in the Peach Blossom Spring in the article, there was a group of Pre-Qin villagers who had taken refuge because of the war. However, although there were wooden houses and buildings here, Zhou Wen didn't see a single person. He didn't even see a chicken or dog.
He used Truth Listener's ability to scan the valley, but he felt that there was a fog shrouding the valley. He could see it with his eyes, but he couldn't see anything with Truth Listener's ability.
Regardless of whether this is Peach Blossom Spring or not, it's definitely a dimensional zone. Zhou Wen was somewhat curious as he summoned a group of Poison Bats and got them to fly into the village to scout and see what was inside.
However, after the Poison Bats left Zhou Wen's line of sight, he suddenly lost contact with them. This made Zhou Wen's expression turn ugly.
Is anyone there? Zhou Wen called out a few times into the depths of the valley, but no one responded. Instead, the valley echoed again and again.
Is anyone there … Is anyone there … Is anyone …
