Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 513 The Yellow Mantis
With a gurgling sound, the lake water surged, and a small lake quietly took shape in the sea of ​​sand. This is a relatively common phenomenon in the sea of ​​sand. As the water veins change, lakes will occasionally appear on the sea of ​​sand, and then disappear again after a while as the water veins change.

At this moment, as the lake took shape, many things that were originally hidden in the sea of ​​sand were brought out, including some relics left over from the five-hundred-year war. Most of them were broken magical artifacts, which were basically useless, but occasionally there were some good things.

As these things manifested, a strange fluctuation immediately spread out, attracting the attention of those who were interested. The first to arrive was a small team of demons, who happened to be nearby.

"It is the target."

After a brief search, two fragments were found, and the monsters were overjoyed.

"go!"

Having found what they were looking for, the leading monster glanced at the other things and turned to leave without hesitation.

The remaining items would have some value if collected, but it would be far less than the reward he would receive for handing in these fragments. He didn't want to lose more than he gained; the commotion he had just caused might have attracted the attention of others, and leaving these items behind would serve to divert their attention.

Shortly after these demons left, a third-tier evil spirit quietly appeared. Using its secret technique to carefully sense the direction the demons had taken, it quickly locked onto the direction they had gone and immediately gave chase.

While the third-tier evil spirits were tracking these demons, Master Xinyi also caught up.

"I finally found it, and it seems there's an unexpected bonus."

Looking at the traces left by the evil spirits and those demons, a smile appeared on Master Xinyi's face.

The next instant, she immediately sped up and chased after it. It has to be said that the evil spirit's ability to escape by borrowing sand made her pursuit much more difficult; otherwise, with her abilities, she would have caught up with the third-tier evil spirit long ago.

What she didn't notice was that in the sea of ​​sand, there was a fiend silently watching everything.

"As expected, someone has their eye on the third-tier evil spirit, but I never expected it to be her."

By entrusting a single thought to this first-tier evil ghost puppet, Jiang Chen confirmed the identity of the tracker, which surprised him slightly.

After receiving the warning from the Purple Lightning Sword, he immediately sent the third-tier evil spirits away in an attempt to shake off their opponent. Unexpectedly, the opponent still managed to catch up. Fortunately, he managed to create a net by using the connection between the seven evil spirits.

This not only expands the search area for fragments but also serves as an early warning system. If the other party tracks down a Tier 3 Fiend Ghost, there is a good chance that it will be discovered by other Fiend Ghosts. Now it has come in handy.

“Xin Yi is a true disciple of the Wuchang Sect. Although she has only recently advanced to the Purple Mansion stage and is only at the early stage, her combat strength should not be underestimated. In a head-on confrontation, I do not have much of a chance of winning with my current abilities.”

"However, the fragments of the Thunder Seal are right in front of us, at least two of them. It would be a pity to give up now."

Thinking of the newly born fragments of the Thunder Seal and Xin Yi's combat power, Jiang Chen had a variety of thoughts flashing through his mind.

"We still need to give it a try. With these fragments, we might have enough supplies for the Purple Lightning Sword. If we're prepared to take advantage of someone's unpreparedness, even if we can't defeat Xinyi, the chances of taking these fragments with us are still quite high."

With a thought, Jiang Chen made a decision. Since the fragment of the Thunder Seal had appeared, he would naturally take it with him. Xin Yi alone was not enough to make him give up. Putting aside everything else, the profound mystery of the Purple Lightning Sword borrowing the true meaning of lightning from heaven and earth was enough to make him value this treasure.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen's consciousness suddenly sensed something was wrong. Before he could do anything, a lightning eagle claw stepped out and directly grabbed the main body of the evil ghost and the sand sea that had become one.

"There are others, and their methods are even more ruthless than Xin Yi's..."

Feeling a chill of satisfaction, Jiang Chen decisively shattered his last thought. At the same time, the out-of-control demon puppet began to struggle frantically, but it was useless and was easily suppressed by the eagle claws.

"I initially thought someone was spying on us, but it turns out to be a malevolent ghost. It seems I was overthinking it."

In the vast void, looking at the suppressed evil ghost puppet, Lei Qing frowned slightly.

He had some understanding of evil spirits, and that was why, after confirming that it was an evil spirit, he lost interest in further research, because no matter how much he studied it, it would be useless.

"It's a pity that the source of that evil spirit cannot be found, otherwise we could have used this thing to cause some trouble for the Impermanence Sect."

Shaking his head, Lei Qing stopped thinking about it.

With a bang, Lei Qing crushed the yellow sand body of the evil ghost and shattered its soul.

After doing all this, he turned his gaze to the direction where Master Xinyi had left.

"I think I've found the person I'm looking for. It's indeed possible for a Purple Mansion cultivator to do what happened before."

With a flicker of his body, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished without a trace.

As the evil spirit was annihilated, in a very distant place, Jiang Chen's Yin spirit suddenly opened its eyes.

Things have changed.

Looking into the distance, Jiang Chen's face darkened. If it were just Xin Yi Zhenren alone, he would be confident in competing for the Thunder Seal fragment. But this newcomer was clearly extraordinary. If he hadn't suppressed his thoughts in time, he might have been discovered by the other party.

"Who exactly is this person tracking Xinyi? Is he from the demon race? But none of the Purple Mansion Demon Kings in the Western Regions seem to have such means."

Thoughts collided, and at this moment, Jiang Chen thought a lot.

"Are you giving up?"

With a furrowed brow, Jiang Chen weighed the pros and cons. He knew that Xin Yi, or rather, the third-tier evil spirit, was indeed being targeted. The other party was most likely after the Thunder Seal Fragment, which was not surprising, since the Thunder Seal Fragment was originally a Dao artifact.

"No, we can still give it a try. Although it is somewhat threatening, it is also an opportunity. I sensed the presence of both sides in advance, which is an advantage in itself. With the intention to catch the unsuspecting, there is still a possibility of obtaining the Thunder Seal Fragment."

"However, just in case, I can no longer easily use my main body. If all else fails, I can simply abandon this third-tier evil ghost puppet. Although this thing is not powerful in combat, it is still extremely good at saving my life."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Chen made a decision.

Having come up with an idea, Jiang Chen immediately took action. He stopped contacting the third-tier evil spirit and continued to let it act according to its previous instructions, while he used the Purple Lightning Sword to further conceal his presence.

Under these circumstances, it wasn't long before the third-tier demon caught up with the group of demons who had taken away the fragments of the Thunder Seal.

Behind it, Master Xinyi and Lei Qing were also rapidly approaching.
