Chapter 213 Escape
The next day, Chen Yuan was meditating with his eyes closed when he received a sound transmission message from Zhang Zian. He then went to the Hall of Good Deeds and took the token from him.

This token is called the Demon-Subduing Token, with the words "Lingyun" engraved on one side and "Dangmo" engraved on the other. Only the elders in charge of the six sects can issue it, and seeing the order is like seeing the person.

The Demon-Slaying Order contains a piece of Zhuge Qi's spiritual consciousness. Only with this order can Chen Yuan leave the oasis.

After returning to the sect, he still needs to hand over this order to the steward of Lingyun Hall for inspection, so as not to be charged with deserting the battlefield.

When Chen Yuan received the Demon-Exterminating Order, many foundation-building monks gathered in the Hall of Good Deeds. They stood in front of the large vermilion pillar and checked the mission talismans hanging on it.

Chen Yuan spread out his spiritual sense and took a quick look, and found that most of them were tasks of spying on the enemy and patrolling and guarding. The people who received the tasks were all monks who had not participated in the war before.

After asking, Chen Yuan found out that the cultivators who had not signed up for the war before, as well as those who participated in the war but did not gain anything, must complete at least one sect mission within the next month, otherwise they will be severely punished.

The battle of a thousand people is just the beginning. The Demon-Slaying Desert is about to become a battlefield fraught with dangers, and who knows how much blood and flesh it will devour.

But all this has nothing to do with Chen Yuan. He will leave this place of trouble today.

After Chen Yuan left the Shangong Hall, he went to visit Mo Jingchun first.

Mo Jingchun was safe and sound in the battle, and with his sharp sword-flying skills, he killed two demon cultivators in the early stages of foundation building.

He asked Chen Yuan whether he had made any achievements, and Chen Yuan told him the truth, which caused Mo Jingchun to be amazed.

Although Chen Yuan didn't want to be in the spotlight, Zhang Zian and Wang Ran both knew about his achievements, which would be spread sooner or later, so it was useless to hide it.

After bidding farewell to Mo Jingchun, he came to Shen Danmei's residence, told Shen Danmei that he was leaving, and left her a healing pill obtained from Xu Feiqing.

This pill is called the Life-Restoring Pill, and it is a pill for the late stage of foundation building. Chen Yuan got a total of four pills from Xu Feiqing, keeping three for himself and giving one to Shen Danmei.

The life-extending pill can reconnect broken limbs, repair internal organs, and transform semen into blood. As long as the injury is not fatal, it can save a life. It is extremely precious and very famous in the world of immortal cultivation.

When Chen Yuan took out the Longevity Pill, Shen Danmei was very surprised, but she did not refuse. She took it directly and said with a smile: "I will not be polite to you, Junior Brother. I must keep my life to repay you for saving my life."

Chen Yuan said: "Senior sister, please don't joke with me. I am not a person who would repay a favor. As long as you are safe and sound, that's all that matters."

Shen Danmei usually takes good care of him. Although he can't use her help, her kindness is very precious.

Shen Danmei looked at Chen Yuan with a softer gaze, and said with a smile: "Junior brother, be careful on your way."

Chen Yuan nodded, stood up and said goodbye: "Little brother, please be more careful."

Shen Danmei sent Chen Yuan out of the small building, and Chen Yuan rode on a beam of light and flew out of the oasis.

A patrolling monk stopped him, and he took out the demon-slaying token, and was able to leave the protective formation unhindered.

Chen Yuan flew several hundred feet away from the oasis before he summoned the Duyun Boat and fled to the Lingyun Sect under the cover of the clouds.

But just as he flew a few miles, two beams of light came towards him and stopped him.

One of the cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building showed a bronze plaque with the word "Patrol" engraved on it. "I am Zuo Heng from Ziyang Sect. I have been ordered to patrol and guard against demonic cultivators. Which sect are you from, and why are you leaving the oasis?"

Another young cultivator, whose cultivation was only in the early stage of foundation building, looked at Chen Yuan carefully and suddenly his expression changed: "Are you Chen Yuan?"

Chen Yuan glanced at the man and said with a bow, "Yes, I am Chen Yuan from Lingyun Sect. Has this Taoist met me?"

A hint of joy flashed in the young monk's eyes, and his lips moved silently.

Chen Yuan's mind moved, and he spread his consciousness. A voice as thin as a mosquito came into his ears: "Senior Brother Zuo, I have seen this person... He is the one who destroyed Dongxu... Elder Xie has ordered... to kill this person..."

The young cultivator's spiritual awareness was far inferior to Chen Yuan's, and he only heard half of the intermittent voice transmission.

Judging from what this man said, he should be the survivor of the Zi Yang Sect during the trip to the secret realm of Dong Xu Mountain.

Chen Yuan immediately became alert. He had killed dozens of Qi-refining disciples of Zi Yang Sect in the secret realm of Dong Xu Mountain, and had made a great enemy of Zi Yang Sect. It was feared that it would be difficult to resolve the issue today.

After Zuo Heng received the message from the young cultivator, his eyes turned cold: "Did Fellow Daoist Chen accept the sect's mission to patrol the oasis and guard against the spying of the demon cultivators, or to go to the northern part of the Demon-Slaying Desert to spy on the enemy?"

Chen Yuan was on guard in his heart, but his expression remained calm. He cupped his hands and said, "I am here to return to the mountain gate on the orders of our sect's elder Zhuge Qi. This is the Demon-Slaying Order bestowed by elder Zhuge. Please have a look at it, fellow Taoists."

He stroked his storage bag, took out the Demon-Slaying Order, and injected a trace of true energy into it.

The Demon-Slaying Order shot out a beam of light, which condensed into the illusory figure of Zhuge Qi, and a powerful pressure from the Jindan level slowly dissipated.

"No one can stop anyone holding this order!"

When Zhuge Qi's indifferent voice was heard, the two men's expressions changed and they bowed in unison.

Meeting the order was like meeting a person. In front of the Demon-Slaying Order, the two men did not dare to show the slightest disrespect.

After the shadow dissipated, Chen Yuan put the Demon-Slaying Order into his storage bag and said calmly, "Please help me, fellow Taoists."

Zuo Heng's expression changed constantly, and he suddenly smiled: "Fellow Daoist Chen, please do as you please."

The young monk said anxiously: "Senior Brother Zuo, we can't let him go like this!"

Zuo Heng shouted, "Shut up!"

The young monk then shut his mouth, but still stared at Chen Yuan, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Chen Yuan turned a blind eye and with a thought, the speed of the Duyun Boat increased suddenly. In a few breaths, it had traveled a hundred feet.

The young monk looked at Chen Yuan's back and said bitterly, "Senior Brother Zuo, even if this person has the Demon-Slaying Order, what does it matter?"

"If the two of us team up to kill him, as long as we don't tell anyone, will Master Zhuge still know about it?"

"Elder Xie said that as long as you kill this man and bring back his head, you will be rewarded with 300 mid-grade spirit stones, which is enough to buy three top-grade spirit tools!"

Zuo Heng glanced at him and said coldly: "Junior Brother Ji, if you want to die, don't drag me into it."

The young monk was stunned and asked, "What do you mean, Senior Brother?"

Zuo Heng said in a deep voice: "When the war started, this person was granted the Demon-Slaying Order by Master Zhuge, allowing him to return to the sect. There are only two possibilities."

"First, he killed five monks of the same level and made great military achievements."

"Secondly, he has a very deep connection with Master Zhuge and is under the care of Master Zhuge."

"No matter what the reason was for him to obtain this Demon-Slaying Order, you and I are not someone we can mess with!"

The young monk was not stupid, but he was filled with hatred and greed, so he wanted to kill Chen Yuan. After hearing what Zuo Heng said, he finally calmed down, showing a look of fear on his face. He bowed to Zuo Heng and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother Zuo. I almost caused a disaster."

Zuo Heng smiled and said, "It's okay. Junior Brother Ji is also eager for revenge. Although we didn't keep Chen Yuan, we did find out some of his details, which is a small gain."

The young monk nodded heavily: "Brother, what you said is very true. Elder Xie cares a lot about this person. As long as we can get some information about this person, there will definitely be a generous reward!"

Zuo Heng sneered and said, "There is no time to lose. Let's go back and report this matter to Elder Xie."

After the two men discussed it, they did not stay and flew away in the flying boat, continuing to patrol the surroundings.

After they left, Chen Yuan's figure slowly emerged from the white clouds three hundred feet away.

His expression was extremely solemn at this moment. He raised his hand and made a gesture. A crisp whistle was heard, and the Duyun Boat was wrapped in a misty green shadow of Feng Luan. It flew a hundred feet away in an instant and disappeared into the distance.

Chen Yuan did not go far away just now, but turned back halfway, hid behind the white clouds, and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two.

With Zuo Heng and the young cultivator's spiritual sense, they could not detect his figure at all. He spoke without restraint, without concealing anything.

Chen Yuan never expected that Xie Chaohong would still be obsessed with him and offer a huge reward for his life.

He just killed some Qi-refining disciples. Xie Chaohong was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. Why would he keep such a small matter in mind?

But on second thought, it was precisely because he had thwarted the Zi Yang Sect's plan that Xie Chaohong lost face in front of the Jin Dan cultivators from the five major sects, and had to ask the white-haired old man to take out four bottles of precious elixirs before the matter was settled.

Xie Chaohong may not care about those Qi Refining disciples, but he definitely cares about his own face.

Fortunately, he killed seven demon cultivators in the first battle and obtained the Demon-Slaying Order. If he had stayed in the oasis any longer, he might have fallen into the hands of the Zi Yang Sect cultivators at any time.

But the two men were about to report the matter to Xie Chaohong, so he did not dare to hold back and tried his best to escape.

A quarter of an hour later, Feng Luan's shadow disappeared and the speed of the Duyun Boat slowly decreased.

Chen Yuan could easily withstand the backlash of Feng Luan's demonic power, but the Duyun Boat was made of ordinary material and could only fly at full speed for a quarter of an hour at most.

At this time, everything behind Chen Yuan was calm, but he did not dare to be careless. He put away the Duyun Boat, then slapped his chest suddenly, spurted out a mouthful of blood, wrapped his whole body, turned into a blood-colored stream of light, and fled away.

This is the blood escape technique learned from Ningbi. Chen Yuan perfected this technique when he was in seclusion. It uses blood essence as a guide to increase the escape speed. As long as the blood essence is inexhaustible, the escape speed will not decrease.

The blood and essence that Chen Yuan took a breath accounted for about 20% of the blood and essence in his body. His speed of escape was even faster than when Du Yunzhou had just activated the Feng Luan demon power. He flew for more than two quarters of an hour before it was completely exhausted.

Chen Yuan looked back and saw the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.

But he gritted his teeth, raised his hand and patted his chest, and spurted out another 10% of his blood. After escaping for a quarter of an hour, he finally stopped using the blood escape technique, summoned the Duyun Boat, and continued to fly towards Lingyun Sect.

The Demon-Slaying Desert is more than 1,200 miles west of Lingyun Sect. After Chen Yuan used a series of tricks, he escaped 400 miles away. Even if Xie Chaohong really chased him, he would not be able to catch up with him for a while.

At this time, the voice of Master Qingyou sounded beside Chen Yuan's ears: "My friend, you fled in such a hurry, even using the blood escape technique, but have you created a grudge with the Ziyang Sect?"

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he replied, "Yes, I once had a grudge with a cultivator in the late Jindan stage of Ziyang Sect. This time, I met a cultivator from his sect. Those two wanted to report the matter to that person, so I had to flee in a hurry."

True Man Qingyou's soul stayed in his soul space, unable to emit spiritual awareness. He could only see what he saw with his own eyes, but could not overhear the conversation between Zuo Heng and the young monk.

Master Qingyou's voice suddenly turned cold: "It's been a thousand years, and the Ziyang Sect is still so domineering..."

Chen Yuan whispered, "If I fall into that person's hands, I won't have an easy time either. Please help me escape."

Master Qingyou said: "I only have one soul left, so I can't help you, little friend. But I see that your blood escape technique is quite crude. I have a blood escape secret technique in my hand, which is much more powerful. Listen carefully, little friend..."

He uttered a formula, and Chen Yuan pondered it carefully, but found that the formula was extremely mysterious. He could only understand a little bit and had to remember it in his heart for the time being.

This blood escape technique was several times more mysterious than the one he obtained from Ningbi. It consumed the same amount of blood and essence, but was faster and lasted longer.

After Master Qingyou finished reciting the formula, he smiled and said, "I will give you this blood escape technique. In addition to this technique, I also know more than a dozen other magical techniques, all of which are incredibly powerful. As long as you are willing to swear an oath and find a foundation-building cultivator for me, I will pass them all on to you..."

Chen Yuan sneered in his heart, but showed hesitation on his face: "When I escape this difficulty, I will give you an answer."

Master Qingyou smiled and said, "Haha, I'm waiting for good news from you..."

His voice gradually became lower. Chen Yuan concentrated on driving the Duyun Boat. His mind was tense, ready to use the Blood Escape Technique to escape at any time.

But until he flew back to the gate of Lingyun Sect, everything behind him was calm and there was no trace of Xie Chaohong.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down his speed, took out his identity jade token, and flew towards the sect protection formation.

At this point, even if Xie Chaohong caught up with him, he would not be able to attack him.

At this moment, a beam of light flew towards them: "Who is here... Brother Chen?!"

The person who came stopped, revealing a one-armed figure with a straight nose, deep eyes, and a strange bun, who seemed to be from an alien land.

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and remembered the man's identity. He smiled and said, "So it's Junior Brother He. Are you patrolling around?"

This person was entrusted by Huang Anhe to hunt down Chen Yuan in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, but lost an arm in the process. He also teamed up with Chen Yuan to break into the inner ring to get He Xin.

He looked at Chen Yuan with a complicated look in his eyes: "Yes, He has received a mission from the sect to patrol the mountain gate to prevent the evil cultivators from spying on us."

Chen Yuan asked, "Do you need me to prove my identity?"

He Xin shook his head slightly: "No need, please go ahead, Senior Brother Chen."

Chen Yuan bowed to him, drove the cloud boat, flew past him, and entered the thousand-foot-high cloud wall.

He Xin watched Chen Yuan enter the cloud wall, looked down at his empty left sleeve, sighed lightly, and continued to patrol the surroundings.

Chen Yuan slowly passed through the cloud wall, descended his escape light on the top of Lingyun Peak, crossed the huge square, came to Lingyun Hall, and showed the Demon-Slaying Order to a foundation-building deacon.

For the next three years, he can stay in the mountain gate and practice without any worries.

Under the puzzled gaze of the deacon of Lingyun Hall, Chen Yuan rode on the light of escape and flew towards Yunyin Peak.

Thirty percent of his blood and energy had been consumed, and his face looked pale and extremely strange.

After Chen Yuan returned to the cave, he immediately took a life-extending pill, closed his eyes and meditated to refine the medicinal power.
