Chapter 308 [Framing]

Chapter 302 [Framing]

Under the cover of night, in a corner of the mountains, two figures raced swiftly through the jungle.

Chen Yan transformed into a gray rabbit and ran swiftly, while Yun Zhao became a lark, keeping a low altitude and darting through the forest.

After crossing another hillside and running out of a thicket, Chen Yan leaped up, landed in human form, waved to Yun Zhao, and then stood still, taking out a stack of talismans from his storage jade pendant.

Yun Zhao, in the form of a lark, landed on Chen Yan's shoulder and asked urgently, "Why aren't you running anymore?"

Chen Yan did not answer, but instead raised his hand and waved it, and the stack of talismans automatically turned into a row of paper figures that floated in mid-air.

Chen Yan used one finger to poke the palm of his other hand, and with a flick of his hand, a series of bright red blood droplets fell onto the paper figure and slowly spread.

Then, Chen Yan turned his head and glanced at the lark perched on his shoulder...

"oops!"

Yun Zhao cried out in pain as Chen Yan grabbed him and plucked two sparrow feathers from his body.

Chen Yan pinched the sparrow feather and shook it, and a ball of flame ignited, turning the feather into ashes. The ashes were flicked by Chen Yan's finger and landed on the row of paper figures.

Then Chen Yan made a hand seal and chanted an incantation, throwing out a Six Ding Six Jia talisman!
A row of paper figures quickly dispersed, instantly flying through the air, then rapidly drifting away in all directions, gradually disappearing into the distance...

"Your magic?" Yun Zhao asked.

"It's tainted with my blood and the scent of your feathers, used to lure away pursuers..." Chen Yan's gaze was solemn: "I just don't know if it will work, let's give it a try."

As he spoke, he looked up and surveyed the surrounding terrain.

Surrounded by towering mountains, the light in the wilderness grew increasingly dim as evening fell.

Occasionally, the chirping of birds and insects could be heard from the jungle, as if announcing the approaching night in the mountains.

"Go!" Chen Yan took a deep breath and pointed to the only direction where no paper figures had gone after they dispersed—the direction he had chosen for his own escape: "Run that way!"

·
For Yun Zhao, the process of being rescued was like a dream.

The wooden-masked man and Old Liang were fighting, and gradually they moved further away. However, Old Liang was trapped in the same spot, surrounded by the black flag array left by the wooden-masked man, so he could not move or be trapped any longer.

But just as the fierce fighting was taking place in the distant sky...

Suddenly, Yun Zhao felt someone grab his feet and pull him hard!
Then, he was pulled into a puddle at his feet!

Yun Zhao was completely stunned!

Before he could react, he had already recognized that the person who had grabbed him was Chen Yan.

Chen Yan didn't waste any words. After dragging Yun Zhao into the mirror world, he pulled him a distance away. Once they were out of the area restricted by the black flag magic array, he dragged Yun Zhao back into the water pit, and just like that, they were back in the "outside" world.

At that time, the battle in the sky was not yet over.

Chen Yan grabbed Yun Zhao and ran!

It's not that I don't want to hide in the mirror world.

Because there's no going back!
It's getting dark!

The formation of a mirror world requires two conditions.

The first requirement is that there must be a mirror!

The second condition is that there must be light!
After dark, even if Chen Yan stays in the pool, the mirror world will cease to exist once the light is gone!

Without light, nothing can be seen.

Hiding in the mirror world, once the light disappears, the mirror world will turn into a black void.

Even escaping into the mirror world, running far away... is impossible.

There are no mirrors in the forest. In the mirror world, once you leave the area of ​​the pool, you are surrounded by black void!
Chen Yan could only use this method to enter and exit the mirror world and drag Yun Zhao out of the black flag magic array left behind by the wooden masked man.

Chen Yan felt that he was already a saint.

There are only two reasons why he was willing to save Yun Zhao.

The first reason was that Lao Liang had been kind to him and had even taught him a set of knife-control techniques. Naturally, one should repay a favor.

The second reason was that when the masked man grabbed Yun Zhao and threatened him, Yun Zhao shouted two sentences that reminded him not to go out.

If Yun Zhao had asked for help or begged him to come out and save him back then—given Chen Yan's personality, he might have turned around and left immediately!

But Yunzhao, despite his own safety, still loudly reminded me not to go out, even under those circumstances.

Then... that makes me a good friend!
·
The two ran for a while longer, and gradually the water vapor in front of them hit them, the air became more and more humid, and they could hear the rushing water sound more and more clearly!
Chen Yan perked up immediately upon hearing this voice!
He quickened his pace and ran at full speed. After crossing a mountain ridge with Yun Zhao, they immediately saw a wide open space ahead!
Below the mountain ridge lies a pool of water, its turbulent flow forming a small river that meanders far into the distance.

On the cliff directly opposite, a waterfall cascaded down! Chen Yan looked up and suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" involuntarily.

Under the effect of the Illusion-Dispelling Technique, he could clearly see the waterfall, which resembled a curtain of water, with water vapor emanating from it and a faint flow of spiritual energy!
The spiritual energy was invisible to the naked eye, but under the scrutiny of divine sense, it seemed to shimmer with a faint purple light.

Based on what I've learned and heard, this place clearly hides some kind of rare and precious treasure.

Without hesitation, Chen Yan grabbed Yun Zhao and flew towards the water curtain waterfall on the opposite side.

The two figures passed through mid-air and plunged headfirst into the water curtain!
The waterfall has a rapid flow, and when you are in it, the water waves feel like a thousand pounds of force hitting you!
However, Chen Yan and Yun Zhao were both cultivators. One had a strong physical body, and the other had the physique of a demon. They calmly passed through the water curtain and arrived at the cliff behind the waterfall.

Behind the curtain of water, on the cliff face, about seven or eight meters above the pool, there was a faint protrusion. The purple light that Chen Yan saw was emanating from that spot.

Chen Yan and Yun Zhao flew up and waited until they reached a height of seven or eight meters. On that protruding rock, there was a hole the size of a bucket!
Chen Yan glanced at Yun Zhao and quickly said, "Let's go in! We can hide inside for a while!"

After saying that, he transformed into a rabbit and darted into the hole in the wall. Yun Zhao did not hesitate and immediately followed him in.

·
The cave was only about the size of a bucket at first, but as you went deeper, it gradually opened up and became winding and twisting. It took about the time it takes to burn an incense stick to crawl inside.

Chen Yancai suddenly felt a sense of clarity and understanding!
What greeted us was a wonderfully fragrant aroma!
The aroma was rich and intoxicating, giving one a slight feeling of intoxication, much like the pleasant buzz after drinking a bowl of fine wine!
This feeling, however, made Chen Yan's heart skip a beat, and he immediately became vigilant.

With such a powerful physique and physical strength, he could drink several pounds of alcohol without getting drunk!
If someone can feel slightly tipsy just from the scent, then it's definitely not just the smell that's causing it.

Rather... it was clearly some kind of entity that interfered with his consciousness! This slightly tipsy feeling wasn't a physical sensation, but rather a slight numbness of his consciousness.

Standing in the open space inside the mountain, Chen Yan shook his body and transformed back into human form, when he heard a thud behind him.

He turned his head and saw Yun Zhao, who had transformed into human form, sitting on the ground with a thud. His body was limp and swaying, and his face was flushed as if he were drunk.

Chen Yan frowned, his heart sinking even further.

The demon race does not cultivate the primordial spirit, but rather the demon core and physical body, so the demon race is often weaker in spiritual sense than ordinary cultivators.

Yun Zhao's current state was not due to drinking, but rather because his consciousness was weak and unable to withstand the numbing effect of the fragrance; his consciousness was intoxicated.

Chen Yan frowned and pulled Yun Zhao up. Yun Zhao shook his head vigorously and whispered, "I... I feel like something's not right."

Chen Yan glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Concentrate your mind and focus your divine sense to resist external evils."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "I...I'm not good at cultivating the technique for condensing divine sense..."

However, he took a deep breath, stood still, reached into his pocket, pulled out a medicine bottle, opened it, popped out a pill, and put it into his mouth.

After a few breaths, the blush on Yun Zhao's face quickly faded, and his eyes became much clearer.

"What is this...?" Chen Yan looked at the antique-looking medicine bottle in Yun Zhao's hand with some curiosity.

"The clan leader gave me a pill to help me concentrate my divine sense before I left home."

Chen Yan: "..."

Okay, pay-to-win players!
"This fragrance is rather strange. There might be some treasure inside. In such deep mountains, where the vital energy is abundant and rich, rare and precious plants often grow."

Yun Zhao suddenly perked up and quickly said, "Our Yinshan is also a mountainous area. I've wandered in the mountains since I was a child, so I'm very familiar with this kind of thing! I shouldn't be mistaken!"

Chen Yan remained calm and slowly said, "Finding the treasure isn't important. What's important right now is that we're still on the run."

Yun Zhao's face immediately darkened: "Just who is that masked lord... I wonder if Lao Liang can handle him."

When the two were fleeing, Lao Liang's battle with the wooden-masked man was still ongoing, so neither of them knew that Lao Liang had been defeated and captured.

However, when Chen Yan dragged Yun Zhao away, his thoughts were quite simple.

If Lao Liang wins, we can run away and come back to find him later.

If Lao Liang loses... then the sooner the better!

Now that they had finally found a secluded spot and caught their breath, Yun Zhao immediately became worried about his skilled bodyguards.

"There's no use in thinking so much. If even Lao Liang can't handle that guy, then there's no point in us worrying." Chen Yan shook his head and said, "The wisest thing to do now is to ensure our own safety first!"

If Lao Liang wins, we can go back to find him.

If Lao Liang loses... that so-called Lord is plotting something big. The reason he's chasing us is to kill us and silence us. As long as we escape, even if he captures Lao Liang, he won't be able to keep his secret. So, it's very likely that he won't harm Lao Liang.

At worst, if we manage to escape alive, you can return to your family and report back, requesting that your family send out experts to investigate the matter.

If we two get caught here, then we're truly doomed, with absolutely no hope left.

Yun Zhao nodded honestly: "Brother Shanhe, don't worry. Although I'm being reckless, I'm not stupid. I understand. I won't make a fuss about going back now. Let's make sure we're safe first... Leave someone alive to go back and report. That person will have something to worry about, and he might not act so extremely."

Then, Chen Yan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "What do you think that person is plotting?"

After exchanging a glance, the two whispered at the same time, "Intercept and kill members of aristocratic families and sects, and frame the demon race!"
