I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 546 Finding Clues (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Faced with the highly poisonous black mist spewed out by the Ink Emperor Crow, the two evil cultivators were terrified and hastily summoned their protective magic treasures.

The Black Emperor Crow's black poison was extremely domineering. Even though they cultivated poison techniques, their protective aura was violently shaken by the black poison and the Black Emperor Crow's tentacles, emitting a sizzling corrosive sound.

The green-robed evil cultivator was careless and got a little bit of ink poison on his arm. His arm instantly turned black and swelled up, and the pain was excruciating. If he hadn't decisively cut off a piece of rotten flesh, his entire arm would probably have been ruined.

"damn it!"

The other withered claw demon spoke in a hoarse voice, filled with shock and rage.

He swung his claws, unleashing a series of pale green, poisonous claw phantoms, but they had little effect on the thick hide of the Black Emperor Crow, instead provoking the giant beast to become even more ferocious.

"We can't fight head-on!" the green-robed evil cultivator roared, enduring the excruciating pain. "Making too much noise will expose us!"

Their purpose in this trip was to keep a close eye on Yu Qianlang and his group, and seize the Shen family's secret treasure. If they were to fight to the death with this overlord of the sea here, they would suffer losses regardless of victory or defeat, and it might alert the people on the Dingkun ship or cause them to escape.

The two exchanged a glance and both saw the frustration and reluctance to back down in each other's eyes.

Withered Claw Demon suddenly hurled a bright green poisonous explosive bead, which exploded into a foul-smelling green mist in front of Mo Huangwu. Green Robe spat out a mouthful of blood essence and activated his magic weapon, transforming it into a dark green escape light.

"go!"

Despite enduring a powerful blow from Mo Huangwu, their protective magic artifacts dimmed and they coughed up blood. However, using the recoil from the explosion and the cover of the poisonous mist, they forcefully tore through the blockade of the ink waves and poison, and fled madly into the depths of the storm without looking back, disappearing into the raging sea in the blink of an eye.

Mo Huangwu pursued the target in a rage for a while, but eventually lost sight of it.

Once the auras of the two evil cultivators had completely disappeared, Jiang Yi's true form, riding the sword-nurturing gourd, quietly approached.

The storm continued to rage, but the area was still filled with the lingering aura of the Ink Poison. The Ink Emperor Crow's enormous body churned wildly in the murky water, emitting a low hiss.

"They turned out to be two clever people."

Jiang Yi sighed inwardly, and with a thought, two swords, one black and one red, flew out of the sword-nurturing gourd.

The sound of swords piercing through the wind and thunder!
……

Deep in the sea, Su Lingxian, who had been vigilantly observing her surroundings, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Qianlang! There's a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy behind us. Someone's following us!"

Yu Qianlang suddenly stood up, his sharp aura as a Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator emanating from his body. "I'll go take a look!"

With that, he prepared to fly away on his sword.

"No!" Su Lingxian immediately grabbed him, her tone urgent yet calm. "The storm and distance are too much of a distraction, and the range of our divine sense is limited. Going there rashly is too risky! The fact that the other party can make a move at this moment shows that their strength is not to be underestimated. Moreover, we don't know if they are friend or foe, whether they are coming for us or just happened to run into us. Our primary goal on this trip is to find someone."

Just then, Fu Liu, who had been sitting cross-legged in the corner of the cabin, seemingly meditating, slowly opened his eyes.

She stood up, her voice steady, "Fellow Daoist Su's considerations are very thoughtful. Please don't be hasty, allow me to use my little trick."

After speaking, Jiang Yi waved the talisman brush in his hand. The tip of the brush flowed with spiritual light. There was no ink mark, but invisible and mysterious runes were quickly outlined and spread on the inner wall of the cabin and the protective light shield of the Dingkun Boat.

In the blink of an eye, a complex and exquisite array of runes concealing auras was formed. The array's light flashed and disappeared in an instant, merging into the Dingkun Boat's own defenses.

The original outline of the boat and even the aura of the three people inside instantly became extremely faint, as if they had merged with the raging sea and sky, becoming almost imperceptible.

"All right."

Jiang Yi put down his pen, his expression calm.

"This talisman array can help us temporarily conceal our whereabouts and avoid being easily locked on by unknown people behind us or other powerful beings in the sea. The most important thing right now is to continue on our way and find Senior Shen and the others."

Yu Qianlang and Su Lingxian were both startled when they sensed the change in the aura of the Dingkun Boat.

It seems that Fu Liu is not only powerful, but also has a profound understanding of talismanic arts. The talisman array she draws casually has such a miraculous effect. Having her with them will definitely be of great help in finding people.

Su Lingxian nodded slightly, "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Fu." Yu Qianlang also suppressed his desire to investigate and took over the control of the Dingkun Boat from Su Lingxian. Under the protection of the concealment rune array, the silver shuttle-like hull silently broke through the waves and sped towards the deeper part of the outer sea.

Behind several people.

After Jiang Yi harvested the ink sac of the Ink Emperor Crow, he looked at the Ink Emperor Crow's corpse, which had been roasted by the Yao Ling, and couldn't help but swallow.

"It smells strangely fragrant. Take it to Hongli to process. The meat of a high-level demon beast has the same effect as a pill, so it can't be wasted."

Jiang Yi waved his hand and put the ink sac and the corpse into the Youxian Ferry, telling Hong Li that life had come.

There's no rush to grill the octopus; we need to forge the Qiankun Brush before finding the ruins.

This Ink Emperor Crow is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and its ink sac is not the best. However, the ink sac of the Qiankun Brush is a consumable item and can be replaced at any time later, so it doesn't matter.

Jiang Yi controlled the sword-nurturing gourd to resume his journey and soon found traces of two more evil cultivators. They had changed their clothes and used some kind of magic weapon to conceal their poisonous aura, pretending to be righteous cultivators.

However, with the help of the Heart-Piercing Mirror, Jiang Yi's disguise could not be concealed.

These two evil cultivators are indeed quite skilled. Jiang Yi manipulated Fu Liu to draw a concealment array on the Dingkun Boat, yet the two evil cultivators were still able to keep up.

Unless Jiang Yi kills the two of them right now, they really won't be able to shake them off in a short time.

Jiang Yi had no need to do that. He had previously tried to test the two men's strength with the Ink Emperor Crow, but they had escaped. They were both in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. If he were to confront them rashly, Jiang Yi was confident that he could escape unscathed. However, it would be difficult to kill them quickly and prevent them from escaping using their Nascent Soul realm after being severely injured.

Given Su Lingxian's cautious nature, even if she were to encounter two evil cultivators head-on, she would definitely advise Yu Qianlang to avoid their sharp edge and escape first, rather than confront them directly.

Therefore, Jiang Yi doesn't need to do anything extra for now. If they really run into each other, it will be three against two to have a chance to annihilate them.

……

After another half month of rapid travel, the storm at sea grew stronger and stronger, and the Dingkun ship was about to be unable to withstand it.

"Qianlang, this won't do. If we still can't find it, we'll have to go back!"

Su Lingxian pushed forward with both hands, using all her strength to maintain the protective aura around the Dingkun Boat. The light blue light screen swayed and deformed violently under the repeated tearing of the raging wind and thunder, as if it would shatter completely in the next second.

Fine cracks began to spread across the silvery-white hull, and each violent jolt was accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of metal twisting and the dull thud of wood breaking.

Even Jiang Yi was now maneuvering Fu Liu to the stern of the ship, desperately trying to stabilize the Dingkun Boat.

"Let me try again!"

Yu Qianlang shouted hoarsely. A simple bronze lantern hung in front of him. Without hesitation, he used his sword energy to cut open his heart again and flicked a drop of his heart's blood into the lantern.

A mother and child, bound by a shared heart, searched for each other with lanterns.

puff!
A soft sound was heard the instant the blood came into contact with the lamp flame.

The originally dim gray flame began to flicker violently, turning from gray to red and growing brighter and brighter.

The crimson flame detached from the wick and transformed into a small firebird, which eagerly flapped its wings and flew towards the right front of the Dingkun Boat as if returning to its nest.

"Finally, there's a response! My mother is still alive, she's over there..."

Yu Qianlang looked in the direction of the firebird, his face instantly turning ashen.

Over there, at the heart of the most terrifying storm in this sea area, lay a shocking sight.

At this moment, Jiang Yi no longer held back and quickly took out the Five Elements Copper Coin Array and arranged it around the Dingkun Boat.

"Charge through in one breath!"

　Thank you all for your concern. I just have some minor health issues from sitting and typing for long periods of time. It's nothing serious. I just need to take care of myself. The weather has been getting cooler lately, so please take good care of yourselves!
