In the night sky, Wei Xuanbai was fiercely attacking Huo Chilian. The two of them had been fighting for fifteen minutes. However, even though Wei Xuanbai had used all his means to suppress his opponent to the point that he could not retaliate, the battle had reached a stalemate.
The trio had agreed beforehand that after finishing off Huo Chilian, the Five Elemental Sword Array would be their reward. In addition, the Xiang brothers would pay them an additional sum of Spirit Stones.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. When the trio arrived, Wei Xuanbai was a little confused. It was agreed that there would be one person, but now, there were two. Thankfully, Xiang Feiying knew the other party. The trio could use delaying tactics through Qi. As long as they finished off Huo Chilian, the remaining people would be easy.
Leaving Xiang Feiying behind to stabilize the other party, the two of them would end the battle quickly. However, Yi Tian had suddenly attacked. After Xiang Feiying was struck, Xiang Yang had no choice but to help her. He originally believed that the offensive strength of the two refiners would not be very strong, but he never expected that when Wei Xuanbai swept his gaze over again, he would immediately panic.
Xiang Feiying and Xiang Yang were no longer in the sky. Instead, it was Yi Tian who was holding their storage bracelets, sizing them up with a faint smile.
In fact, Yi Tian could not see through Huo Chilian either. Although he had reported that he was a disciple of the Li Fire Sect's branch, the 'Qiankun Imperial Fire Sect', Yi Tian did not want to reveal his identity. The Middle State's Li Fire Sect was in shambles, so it was unknown if there was still a rift between the various sects.
He glanced at the storage bracelets on his hand. Since he had finished off the Xiang brothers, he could not let the remaining people escape. He was friends with Xing Yuan, but he did not have much interaction with Wei Xuanbai.
After a flash of inspiration, Yi Tian made up his mind. Without stopping, he used 'Rattan Wood Coil' on Wei Xuanbai. Two thorny vines the thickness of a thumb flew out with a 'whoosh' and coiled around Wei Xuanbai.
Seeing Yi Tian help him, Huo Chilian hurriedly took out his Five Elemental Flying Sword. Then, he spat out five flaming lotuses to ignite them. With a finger, he shot them at Wei Xuanbai.
After instantly switching between offense and defense, Wei Xuanbai also gritted his teeth and swallowed them. Seeing that the two of them had joined hands, he couldn't just sit and wait for death. He quickly formed a hand seal and pointed his finger at Huo Chilian, sending the Iron Beheading Sword toward him. Then, he took out two small swords with his left hand and chanted. The two small swords trembled in the wind and two waves of sword Qi attached themselves to them, turning into two golden beams of light that attacked Yi Tian. Then, Wei Xuanbai actually turned around and was about to escape.
Seeing this, Yi Tian just smiled. His right hand controlled the vines to deliberately circle around the incoming flying sword. Then, he injected spiritual energy into a handful of nanmu seeds in his left hand. He shouted, "Rise!" and erected a dozen dense wooden shields five feet in front of him as the first line of defense. Then, he took out a flame emblem and erected it in front of him.
Three beams of light suddenly flashed in the air, followed by a series of muffled sounds. Wei Xuanbai didn't care about the situation behind him and tried to escape. However, before he could fly far, he felt something tighten under his feet. When he looked down, he saw that he had been entangled by a vine. Since he couldn't break free, he could only take out his spirit sword and slash at it. Ten breaths later, Wei Xuanbai cut off the vine. Before he could feel happy, he felt a wave of dizziness above his head. Then, he fell down.
It was quite unbearable for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to fall from such a height. It would be fine if he had practiced some physical skills, but Wei Xuanbai clearly didn't belong to this type of person. As soon as he came into contact with the ground, he fell and was covered in blood. Huo Chilian hurriedly rushed over and nailed him to the ground with his flying swords. He was completely dead.
Yi Tian just curled his lips. It seemed that Wei Xuanbai had forced him into a corner just now. However, the matter had been resolved, and the relationship between the two of them had eased a lot.
After collecting the spoils of war, Huo Chilian said with a smile, "Brother Yi, we are now sitting in the same boat. I still have to return to the sect. As long as you are willing to return with me, it's fine."
"No need, I have my own place to go. However, I am a little interested in you, a disciple of the 'Cosmos Fire Controlling Sect'. When I have time in the future, I will definitely pay you a visit," Yi Tian replied.
While the two of them were chatting happily, a white light suddenly flashed from the horizon. It seemed to be heading straight in their direction. Yi Tian's Divine Sense was far superior to cultivators of the same level. It was not inferior even to early stage Jin Dan. After spreading out his Divine Sense to investigate, he immediately frowned.
Then, he turned to Huo Chilian and said, "The person coming is a cultivator from Jin Dan. Let's split up. Hurry." After saying that, Yi Tian ignored Huo Chilian and directly used the Wind Escape Technique to rush towards the depths of the Western Wasteland.
Hearing that, Huo Chilian panicked. Red light flashed out from his whole body as he used the Fire Escape Technique to open up a path towards the Heavenly Demon Sect.
By the time the Jin Dan cultivator arrived, the two of them had long since disappeared from sight. However, the cultivator did not panic. Instead, he simply forced out a drop of blood from his fingertip. After that, he chanted something and the drop of blood transformed into a thin mist, enveloping an area of 2.5 li in radius.
After that, he found the spot where Xiang Feiying and Xiang Yang had died. After that, the Jin Dan cultivator hovered in the sky for a moment before chasing after Yi Tian. He muttered angrily, "If I let you escape, how am I supposed to explain this to the Family Head? If I don't extract your soul and refine your marrows, I will not be able to dispel the hatred in my heart."
Three days later, a cyan-coloured light flashed through the depths of the Western Wasteland. It was none other than Yi Tian, who was running away in a panic. Recalling the situation of that day, Yi Tian could still remember it clearly. His speed should have been fast enough. However, he did not expect that two hours later, when he spread out his spirit sense, he would discover that he was being followed.
Originally, he had planned to take a detour to the cave residence in Fujun Mountain. However, looking at the current situation, it was obvious that the other party had used a secret tracking method to find him. Going to Fujun Mountain was like sending a lamb to a tiger's den. This matter was not easy to handle. He had not expected that going out to meet someone would delay his Core Formation.
It was useless to think too much. Yi Tian took out some spirit wine and pills. After drinking a few mouthfuls, he flew towards the depths of the Western Wasteland. It seemed that he would only survive if he got rid of his pursuers.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, maintained a distance of about 100 li. They flew towards the depths of the Western Wasteland for three days and three nights. During this period, Yi Tian could not stop to rest. He had to keep drinking the spirit wine that he had brought with him. Yi Tian was now anxious in his heart. He did not know when this continuous consumption would end. If the person behind him suddenly attacked, he would be in danger.
In fact, Xiang Xing was also full of bitterness. This time, when he saw that his two nephews' life spirit lamps had suddenly extinguished, he hurriedly went out. He was not fully prepared.
Gradually, the chase between the two became a war of attrition. Xiang Xing chased all the way. Fortunately, he had the guidance of the blood contract secret method. However, the speed of the other party was not slow. Originally, he thought that by relying on his Jin Dan early stage cultivation, it would be easy to catch a Foundation Establishment late stage junior. However, when it came to the end, Xiang Xing found that he did not have the slightest advantage in speed. On the contrary, the two of them began to compete in attrition.
After flying for three days, Yi Tian found that the land in front of him was getting more and more rugged. The surrounding environment began to become worse. From time to time, he could see groups of Class 4 demonic beasts appearing.
Taking out the map and looking at it, he should have already left the area jointly governed by the three sects. If he continued to fly, the following road would not be easy to travel. Using his Divine Sense to look back, Yi Tian found that the pursuer was still stubbornly chasing after him. He could only grit his teeth and fly deeper into the unknown wasteland.
Behind him, Xiang Xing's face was also full of anger. If he continued to fly, he would enter those unknown areas. Even a Jin Dan cultivator like him did not dare to go too deep. Those vicious beasts in the wasteland were not to be trifled with. They were enough to cause fatal injuries to him.
However, the boy flying in front of him did not hesitate to dive in. This aroused Xiang Xing's anger. Without thinking, he followed closely behind, determined to catch Yi Tian.
Yi Tian flew while recovering his spiritual power. However, in his mind, he was constantly thinking about how to get rid of the pursuer behind him. If he wanted to counterattack with his own cultivation, it would be no different from a fool's dream. Only when he was not in the formation and took advantage of the time and place would he be able to do it.
He believed that after following him for so long, the person behind him was full of anger. If he took advantage of the contrast in his opponent's mood, he might actually be able to escape from death. However, along the way, he had not seen many places where he could set up a formation.
Now that the two of them were separated by a distance of fifty kilometers, Yi Tian had less than an hour left to set up the formation. After maintaining his flying speed, Yi Tian used his Eye Technique to clearly see the situation around him.
Along the way, he had passed through several mountain valleys but had not found any suitable spirit veins. Just as Yi Tian was complaining about his bad luck, he suddenly saw a volcano about sixty to seventy kilometers to his left. From afar, he could see the black smoke coming from the volcano's crater. The entire mountain was covered in green vegetation. Only the valley in the middle was charred black.
Usually, this kind of place would have underground spirit veins. This made Yi Tian happy. As long as he could find a spirit vein, he could use it as a foundation to set up a killing formation. After taking out the eight tokens, Yi Tian licked his lips. This time, it was all up to you.
Suddenly, the azure light changed its course and flew directly toward the volcano. After calculating that he did not have much time left, he flew above the valley and took out the sundial positioning disk and hourglass for setting up the formation.
Previously, he had set up the formation in a hurry, so he had not made a detailed plan for how to absorb spirit veins. This time, he was facing a high grade cultivator and was determined to kill him. As such, he couldn't use conventional methods.
After adjusting the hourglass, Yi Tian flew above the valley with the sundial positioning disk. He first used the sunlight projection to determine the exact time. Then, he pointed at the sundial. The needle moved clockwise from east to west and pointed at the eight positions in the valley.
Yi Tian took out the Eight Gate Golden Lock formation disk and threw it toward the center. Then, he formed a hand seal with his left hand and threw it toward the formation disk. The formation disk grew in size and covered an area of one and a half kilometers like a thin piece of paper.
After seeing that the formation bases were confirmed, Yi Tian looked at the eight tokens in his bosom and smiled. He poured his spirit qi into the tokens and placed them at the positions of the eight formation bases.
Once everything was done, he raised his head and looked at the hourglass. He found that around fifteen minutes had passed. He could see a flickering white light flying toward him from the horizon. Yi Tian didn't say anything and went down. He first found a place to hide and then used a concealment technique to completely erase his presence.
