The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 24 True Disciple
Half an hour later, Li Yuan mixed in with the crowd and left the market.

As soon as he walked out of the market town, he urged the white wall and black mist without hesitation, and turned into a light cloud and flew away at a high speed.

It’s not that Li Yuan is too cautious, but the top-grade magic weapon is too valuable. Even Linglong Pavilion would want to kill people and seize the treasure.

He was willing to pay attention to the eye-catching hundred-year-old spiritual wood in order to buy the Shangfeng Xuanyu Order, not only because it was compatible with his martial arts, but also because if he had the Qi Lingmen's unique secret item, the Lingyuan Pearl, even if this item could absorb more magic power, it would be enough to drive it.

And the most important thing is that the spirituality contained in the top-grade magic tools is close to the great Dao of heaven and earth, which is helpful for visualizing and understanding the Dao. Li Yuan is a person who is determined to build a foundation, so he naturally has to make plans for the future path.

The scenery below him was rapidly receding, and Li Yuan did not dare to delay and flew back to the sect.

When there were only a hundred miles left, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared on the sky and turned into a golden light curtain over a hundred feet long, blocking the way.

Li Yuan cursed in his heart and turned around and ran. Obviously, ordinary mid-grade magic weapons could not achieve this level. The opponent was not only a late-stage cultivator, but also held a high-grade magic weapon. He was no match for him at all and could not fight hard.

As for the magic weapon that had just been obtained, anyone with a brain would know that the order had definitely been tampered with.

This is the fate of ordinary cultivators. Even if they have accumulated enough spiritual stones, they may fall into a trap carefully designed by others. Since the other party has set a trap, they can definitely take it down with absolute strength. So in this situation, the only way to survive is to escape.

Unless you are the son of destiny, with incredible strength, you can fight back against the trap that others have already laid.

Obviously, even if Li Yuan had a great adventure, he was not the kind of person who would just go forward without hesitation. So he turned around and ran without hesitation, and activated the distress talisman in his hand.

He just hoped that some powerful people could come from the elders of the mountain gate. As for luring the ancestor to take action, he didn't have that much face.

If the enemy is a true cultivator, I am afraid he will be suppressed and captured as soon as he leaves the market.

Li Yuan felt a surge of heat in his heart, and looked around hastily, only to see darkness, with only a hint of golden light in the fierce red light on the southwest sky.

He felt a chill in his heart as he saw this legend, which indicated that he was doomed to die. The only way for him to survive was to head southwest!

Without caring about anything else, Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the cloud, holding the spirit stone in his hand to keep his magic power at full capacity at all times, while urging Qingyun to fly towards the southwest at a high speed.

But the golden light behind him only flashed, and it actually crossed a distance of a hundred feet out of thin air and chased towards Li Yuan at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, there were also spots of light all around, heading towards the direction where Li Yun was escaping.

This scene made Li Yuan's heart sink. With so many people, even if he really had an extra life as a substitute for the dead puppet, it would not be enough to kill.

But directly fighting the enemy would be a dead end.

He could only flee by flying, getting farther and farther away, all the way to the southwest for more than 500 miles, before he was finally stopped by the pursuers.

Two masked monks were suspended in the air, waving their hands and casting spells and talismans to block the way.

Li Yuan became ruthless and threw out two puppets.

"Boom~"

Two loud noises were heard, and the impact of the puppet's self-explosion knocked two unsuspecting monks into the ground, leaving them unknown whether they were dead or alive.

Li Yuan rushed forward without stopping and continued to head southwest.

Therefore, whenever there were cultivators who took a detour to block the way, Li Yuan would throw out two puppets to explode themselves to clear the way.

Even though the two puppets Jiamu and Yimu are only equivalent to the middle stage of Qi Refining, they are made of hundred-year-old spiritual wood from the Ten Thousand Wood Realm. Not only are they the most suitable, but their power is also three times greater. In addition, the lethality caused by the self-destructive core magic ban and external ban is comparable to a top-grade spell in the late stage of Qi Refining.

After using it in this way, Li Yuan seemed to know the real way to use the puppet.

Seeing that he was being chased by many people, Li Yuan ran thousands of miles and came to the sky above a red volcano, but was finally stopped by the golden light.

The golden light fell, and a tall man wearing a green tiger mask sneered and said, "Run, I want to see how long you can run."

Li Yuan quickly thought of various ways to escape in his mind, and with a wave of his hand, he released the only seven remaining Yi wood puppets. He stood in the clouds, drew his bow and arrow, and aimed at the tiger-faced man.

"Okay, okay, there are so many puppets. You must be an extremely important elder in the Qi Ling Sect!" The tiger-faced man's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He waved his hand and a golden light shone brightly in the sky. A red-gold flag fell down, and the angry energy from all directions retreated.

Li Yuan was shocked when he saw this. Such a top-grade magic weapon could even suppress the volcano and the earth demon.

"Golden Gang, the correct direction, let the finger lead. Transform the energy into a sword, and cut!"

The tiger-headed man chanted something, pointed his sword, and the golden flag swayed. The sharp energy in the sky gathered into a giant golden sword over twenty feet long and stabbed down.

Li Yuan didn't care about anything else. With a thought, the seven puppets continuously shot out Yi Mu arrows.

And talismans lit up one after another, turning into various spells to stop the golden sword from falling.

At the same time, the clear water and clear clouds turned into three layers of light curtains. The first layer was the clear water light curtain, the second layer was the vast fog curtain, and the third layer was the light curtain of thick clouds like ink.

As soon as he finished doing this, a huge golden sword came crashing down, and the Yi Mu arrow light was shattered by the sharp golden energy on it as soon as it touched it.

All kinds of magic spells and talismans disappeared in an instant like fireworks.

But the sword light was three times weaker, and it only took one breath to break through the green water light shield, and it took three to five breaths to break through the second layer.

When he reached the last layer of light curtain, Li Yuan tried his best to inject his magic power. The clear blue light became stronger and stronger, blocking it for a long time before finally breaking apart.

Li Yuan put away the five puppets without hesitation and retreated.

And when the sword light approached, the two Yi wood puppets suddenly exploded, finally eliminating the sword light.

Just when the tiger-headed man was slightly surprised, a faint sound of breaking air suddenly came from somewhere behind him. Without thinking, he turned his head to the side and immediately activated the precious flag hanging in the air.

"Whoosh~"

A light silver needle brushed past his neck, drawing a trail of blood.

The flying needle missed its target and quickly retreated into Li Yuan's hands.

Then he turned around and ran away again. The golden flag on the tiger-headed man's head vibrated, and just as he was about to catch up, he felt his eyes go dark and he reacted immediately.

"poisonous!"

So he quickly swallowed several detoxifying pills and used his internal energy to remove the poison. The five or six pursuers behind him continued to follow Li Yuan to the southwest.

Li Yuan sat on the cloud and escaped while secretly feeling regretful. If the silver cold needle could pierce the man's throat, he would have escaped death.

He had smeared the silver cold needle with the venom of a spiritual tree, which was a Yin-Cold Poison that came from the poisonous fruit of a five-hundred-year-old Yin-Cold tree. He didn't know how effective the poison was, after all, it was impossible for him to test the poison himself.

But unfortunately, the Yin-Han needle belongs to the metal element, and was connected to the top-grade metal element magic weapon hanging in the air and deviated a little. In addition, the man had extraordinary spiritual perception, so he only scratched his skin.

Li Yuan ran towards the southwest without looking back. Along the way, the mountains became increasingly high and steep, and the earth became increasingly thick. He had to increase his altitude, and the loss of his mana also gradually increased.

The Guangyuan Mountains are at the southernmost tip of the Nanjue Continent. Further south is the extremely dangerous Helian Mountains, also known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It is rumored that there are poisonous insects everywhere, and there are countless evil monsters and strange insects. Only those who have established a foundation can pass through it.

And in the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, it is rumored that there is a Taoist sect called Dusha Dao, which is famous for its poisonous insect witchcraft.

These things were not known to ordinary cultivators, and he only saw the introduction in a remote corner of the Sutra Library where only elders could see them.

Most of the mountains in the Guangyuan Mountains are only a few hundred feet high, and few are over a thousand feet high. However, the peaks in the Shiwan Mountains are all over a thousand feet high, and those below a thousand feet can only be called earth slopes.

Because of this, there is an extremely deep Wu Ji energy in the mountains. The mixture of Yin and Yang earths makes it very difficult for ordinary flying magic tools to operate here, as they are suppressed by Wu earth.

Li Yuan flew for thousands of miles, which took him more than half a day. His magic power was gradually running low, but the pursuers behind him still showed no intention of stopping.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan had a guess in his mind that maybe this top-grade magic weapon was not a defective one, but only had the shortcoming of absorbing a huge amount of spiritual energy.

Therefore, it was specially taken out by Linglong Pavilion as bait, and then chased back after leaving the market, so that it can be recycled.

He secretly hated the unscrupulous merchants, and buried this hatred in his heart for the future. Now he had better escape first, otherwise everything would be in vain.

Li Yuan replenished his mana along the way. If it weren't for Bai Bi Wu Lan, he would have been caught up long ago. The flying magic tools of the two late-stage cultivators behind him didn't seem to be very good, so they could only hang around. Obviously, they planned to wait for the tiger-headed man with a high-quality magic tool to arrive, and then kill him with the power of thunder after catching up.

After thinking this through, he rushed towards the Helian Mountains without hesitation. After walking south for more than 2,000 miles, the mountains in front of him came to an abrupt end, and a vast plain of hundreds of miles appeared.

Li Yuan suddenly looked up and found that hundreds of miles south of this plain, there was an endless mountain range standing tall and high, towering into the clouds, like a giant beast thousands of feet tall lying on the ground, and he was right in front of it.

This shocking scene made Li Yuan stunned for a moment, and then he continued to move forward.

The sky above the tall mountains is shrouded in clouds and miasma all year round, so when you get close it's like standing at the entrance to a dark world. To the north is endless sunshine, and to the south is endless dark forest.

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, and when he saw the golden light behind him chasing him again, he plunged into the mountains.

But the pursuers did not stop, but continued to search deeper into the area.

Li Yuan's magic power turned, and the clear clouds turned into dark clouds. He was able to navigate in the fog and poisonous miasma like a fish in water and became more concealed.

In the poisonous miasma of the cloud, many poisonous insects and birds passed by him, but most of them did not care. Only a few strange evil insects could sense the smell of raw flesh in the dark cloud.

But Li Yuan also urged the clear water and clear clouds to form a protective shield on the white wall and dark mist, making the dark cloud appear light blue and even more weird.

But what made Li Yuan's heart sink was that even if he entered the rugged mountains, the people behind him could still detect his position.

He thought carefully in his mind, and with a thought, he put the magic weapon in the storage bag into the Ten Thousand Wood Realm.

Then he sat cross-legged on the cloud and opened his mouth to spit out a stream of water mist. Once the water mist appeared, it turned into clouds when it met wind and turned into rain when it met cold. Water energy filled the area over ten feet.

Li Yuan activated the spell, put away the magic weapon, and silently chanted: "The water is clear, the clouds are moving, and the rain is falling. According to my will, it will move in all directions. Huh!"

The next moment, his figure disappeared in an instant, and he turned into a stream of clear air and fled away quickly, passing through the humid sky and earth to a distance of more than a hundred feet. Then he continued to flee into the deep mountains for more than a hundred miles before he stopped due to insufficient mana.

Li Yuan landed on a patch of damp moss. Beside him was an extremely tall tree. A long emerald green snake was coiled on the lush branches. Wherever he stepped on, he would find several strange-looking insects.

From time to time, the chirping of strange insects could be heard in the dark forest, and even the very low roars of beasts could be heard in the distant forest.

"Cuck!"

A black crow flapped its wings and flew happily in the low sky. This natural and pure feeling of oppression was more suitable for it.

Li Yuan's mind swept around, and seeing that there were no monsters, he released the puppets and urged them to quickly open a cave. The cave was only two meters deep, less than half a meter wide, and less than ten meters high.

Then he put away the puppet and released a simple formation. This was a simple restriction in the original courtyard that he used as a warning formation.

It is so deep in the place, and without the guidance of Shangfeng Xuanyuling, they would not be able to find themselves in such a huge mountain range.

Li Yuan also used the Water and Cloud Escape Technique to prevent them from using normal tracking methods to find his location.

Li Yuanzheng, who is now hiding in the cave, is holding two spirit stones in his hands to replenish his magic power. In such a dangerous and completely unknown place, it is best to maintain sufficient magic power.

By dawn the next day, Li Yuan had rested well and called back Shen Ming, who had been on guard all night.

Outside the Helian Mountains, the tiger-headed man looked at the vast mountains with an unpleasant expression. He cursed the people behind him: "Humph, you guys didn't put in any effort and actually let this kid escape into the mountains. When the higher-ups blame us, I wonder who among you can bear the heavy responsibility!"

The two late-stage monks who were scolded also replied in panic: "It's not that we can't help, but that man has too many puppets. Once we get close, the puppets will explode. Even for us, it's difficult to get close to him!"

"By the way, Xu Rong can be pushed out to take the blame! Just say that she sold top-grade magic weapons privately!" another cultivator said.

"How ridiculous. Without our permission, how could a mid-stage outer sect disciple like her obtain the Mysterious Rain Order?" The tiger-headed man sneered, "But there is a remedy now."

"What method? Lu Zhenchuan, just tell me."

“This magic weapon was found in an ancient cultivator’s cave, and it has not been reported to the sect yet, unless everyone who knew about it is dead.” The tiger-headed man grinned grimly, and the golden flag above his head suddenly burst out with several brilliant sword auras, which chopped into pieces several disciples behind him who were only in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

The two late-stage monks in front of him retreated in horror and quickly took out their magic weapons to fight with him.

But how can they compare with the true disciples who possess top-grade magic weapons, practice top-level skills, and have numerous magic weapons and talismans?
After just over an hour, the fighting stopped, and the tiger-headed man expressionlessly fed the corpses of his fellow disciples to his spiritual beast, a giant patterned tiger!
