Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 266 Mysterious Female Cultivator
Looking around, this army numbered in the thousands!

These Foundation Establishment cultivators almost all possessed strength no less than that of a Spirit Bone Shaman.

Most importantly, the aura displayed by that eagle had reached the third level.

This is a demon king!
"go!"

Without a second thought, Yu Yunyi tossed the "Azure Cloud Boat" into the air, and Li Yunjing, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao all entered the treasure ship in an instant.

With a loud boom, the Azure Cloud Boat shuddered and shot into the void!

If the four of them encountered a third-tier demon king individually, they might have the mind to fight it out and kill it with their weapons. However, this demon king was protected by countless troops, so there was no possibility of them being surrounded and killed.

With so many troops present, Li Yunjing and his three companions naturally dared not engage in a fierce battle.

Choosing to escape became the best option.

Before long, the "Azure Cloud Boat" had traveled a hundred miles south, and the Eagle King, carrying five shamans, had caught up to within three miles.

As for the remaining barbarian army, they were all Qi Refining Realm cultivators. Running on the ground, they couldn't catch up with the "Azure Cloud Boat" at all and were long since left out of sight.

"How dare you! Keep flying like that! If we can, we'll take them out!"

Without the support of thousands of barbarian troops, a single Eagle King and five shamans would not be an insurmountable enemy.

Li Yunjing immediately had an idea: to kill them all.

"What a pity! The barbarians are too poor; killing them would bring almost no benefit!"

In the ship's bridge, Fu Chao looked out and shook his head slightly.

Their poverty was such that no one wanted to provoke them, which was one of the reasons why the barbarians were able to survive.

If a first-order spiritual vein were to appear in a barbarian tribe, do you think those major sects and families would be willing to go to great lengths to launch an expedition?
Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao are now also facing this problem.

All four of them possessed powerful weapons, but they used them on a third-tier demon king, leaving everyone feeling resentful.

"Forget it! Let's just run away! Fighting them is really not worth it!"

Yu Yunyi remained calm and immediately offered a different opinion, refusing to engage in a decisive battle with the other party.

“Yes! Yunyi makes a lot of sense. If we kill the opponent, our losses will probably be as high as tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones.”

Lu Ruoxi did some calculations and said softly.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao fell silent.

After calculating the losses, I realized I'd lost so much I couldn't even afford to wear my underwear anymore.

Li Yunjing and Fu Chao's fighting spirit vanished instantly.

Seeing that the two warmongers had fallen silent, Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Yunyi suddenly accelerated the "Azure Cloud Boat" and shot off.

This widened the distance between the two sides to six or seven miles, infuriating the Golden Eagle King behind it, which kept letting out fierce howls and flapping its wings desperately, trying to catch up with the "Azure Cloud Boat".

However, this enhanced "Azure Cloud Boat" is incredibly powerful and can be considered a semi-treasure artifact. In terms of speed alone, it is not much slower than the Golden Eagle King behind it.

In addition, given that the starting distance and timing were both much farther and earlier than the opponent's, it would be quite a long time before the Golden Eagle King could catch up with the "Azure Cloud Boat".

Before long, the "Azure Cloud Boat" had crossed the grassland, and a mountain peak appeared in front of Li Yunjing and his companions.

The mountain was a thousand feet high, shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see anything inside. After thinking for a moment, Yu Yunyi steered the "Azure Cloud Boat" down and quickly rushed inside.

The "Azure Cloud Boat" dispersed the fog, revealing a road.

Just as they were getting a clear look at the scenery in the mountains, they heard a cold, sharp shout: "Who dares to trespass into my secluded cultivation place?"

"Oops!"

Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao all knew something was wrong. They never expected that a cultivator's secluded cultivation place would appear here.

It should be noted that the "Azure Cloud Boat" barged straight in, which was an extremely rude act.

“Fellow Daoist, it’s a misunderstanding! We were being chased by a third-tier Golden Eagle King, which led us astray into your Daoist abode! We are disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, and we will certainly compensate you for your losses after this matter is resolved!”

Li Yunjing hurriedly said these words.

"Hmph! It's you disciples from the major sects again!"

Little did Li Yunjing know that even though he had lowered his stance, the master of the mountain still seemed to be far from appeased.

Before Li Yunjing could explain further, a golden light shot out like lightning from the mountainside, hurtling towards the "Azure Cloud Boat".

"You ungrateful animal!"

Yu Yunyi's face turned ashen. She touched the fire control center with her jade hand, and with a "boom," the "Azure Cloud Boat" opened fire. The "Heavenly Thunder Cannon" shook in the air and, facing the golden light, blasted forward with unstoppable momentum.

"Boom!"

The golden light vanished instantly, and the next moment, the "Heavenly Thunder Cannon" struck the mountainside, causing the entire mountain to collapse. A deep crater, dozens of meters long, appeared amidst the thick smoke.

"presumptuous!"

A gentle breeze swept away the dust, and a woman in white emerged from the mountain. Her face was pale, and she glared fiercely at the "Azure Cloud Boat" that was about to fly over the mountain peak.

Seeing that the "Azure Cloud Boat" was about to escape, the woman in white flipped her hand, and a small triangular flag appeared in her hand. She then waved the small triangular flag in her hand.

Suddenly, swirling mist reappeared in front of the "Azure Cloud Boat," and at the same time, the space shifted, creating endless illusions in front of the "Azure Cloud Boat."

One moment, an iceberg blocks the way, and the "Azure Cloud Boat" is about to crash into it; the next, meteors fall from the sky, a shower of fireballs crashing down, making the "Azure Cloud Boat" crackle and pop; or an endless sea of ​​fire appears, making it impossible to pass through...

Various illusions appeared one after another, forcing Yu Yunyi to stop the "Azure Cloud Boat" and dare not venture out recklessly.

This is an array; who knows what other attack methods it might have besides illusions? If we're not careful, the "Azure Cloud Boat" could also be damaged.

"How to do?"

Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao all looked at Li Yunjing.

At this moment, Li Yunjing, a formation master from the "Seven Star Palace," became their hope.

"This formation appears to contain the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams; I need time!"

Li Yunjing didn't bother talking to them; his eyes were fixed on the various scenes in the thick fog, his eyes shining brightly as he didn't miss any clue.

Every formation has its traces; it never appears out of thin air. Once you find a node in the formation and destroy one, the formation can be broken!

With pursuers behind him and mysterious female cultivators blocking his path ahead, Li Yunjing's biggest shortage of time was...

"Be prepared to fight both sides! You might have to risk your lives!" Li Yunjing gave one last instruction before falling silent and carefully observing his surroundings.

Li Yunjing is a formation master who understands the principles of formations. When he observes his surroundings, he is not just looking around randomly. He is exploring each node according to the positions of the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces.

His efficiency is more than a hundred times higher than blindly looking around!
Just as Li Yunjing was probing the formation, the Golden Eagle King flew into the mountain. The five shamans shouted to the woman in white, "Fairy, those who fled earlier are also our enemies. They trespassed into your fairy cave. Why don't we join forces to kill these wicked creatures?"

"roll!"

Little did they know that the woman in white had no intention of cooperating with them at all; her gaze toward the barbarians was filled with disdain.

"what?"

Upon hearing these words, the five shamans on the Golden Eagle King's body showed surprise. Their bodies stiffened, and their movements became rigid, as if they could not believe that this woman had the right to speak like this.

"Think carefully! We are from the Spirit Bone Tribe. How dare you speak to us like that?"

The leading shaman was enraged and shouted loudly.

"Mere barbarians want to cooperate with me? How laughable! I'll deal with my own enemies. If you don't get out of here, I'll take care of you all too!"

Little did they know that the woman in white would become even more aggressive, seemingly ready to attack at the slightest provocation.

"How dare you! You mere first-rank woman! How dare you act so arrogantly before me! I'll devour you first!"

The Golden Eagle King initially disdained to pay attention to this woman, but seeing her so arrogant, he couldn't help but speak up, using a human voice to angrily rebuke her.

The intelligence of a third-tier demon king is no different from that of a human. These words did not surprise the woman, but the Golden Eagle King's words angered her.

Then the woman took out a long white jade box from her treasure pouch.

The woman opened the box, and a long incense stick appeared. With a flash of light, she lit the incense stick.

Instantly, a faint pink wisp of smoke rose from the incense stick.

"call……"

The woman blew into the smoke, and with a "whoosh," thick smoke billowed out, pinkish smoke sweeping towards the Golden Eagle King.

"Oh no! This is demon-slaying incense!"

Just as the Golden Eagle King was about to retaliate, it took a closer look and was so frightened that it shuddered. It hadn't expected that this woman would have such a powerful weapon, and it was greatly startled.

The Golden Eagle King flapped its wings repeatedly, turning around to escape.

"You beast! I let you go just now, but you wouldn't leave! Now I've wasted such a priceless treasure, and you still want to escape? You're just delusional!"

The woman sneered repeatedly, her beautiful face filled with murderous intent.

Today, she was just sitting at home when disaster struck!
She was originally going to meditate and cultivate, preparing to break through to the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but she never expected that the bastards from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" would rush into her dojo and cause the mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.

Now, these barbarians and wild beasts dare to challenge her, which instantly ignited the woman's fiery temper.

This "Demon-Slaying Incense" is a renowned treasure in the cultivation world for subduing demonic beasts.

According to legend, the "Demon-Slaying Incense" is a product from another continent, developed by a major sect specifically to target demons and beasts.

Once the "Demon-Slaying Incense" is lit, even a first-tier demon beast will be poisoned to death by the aroma if it smells even a little bit; second-tier demon beasts will not be able to withstand it for long either, losing most of their ability to resist; and third-tier demon kings are very powerful. Although they can barely withstand the poisonous gas of the "Demon-Slaying Incense", their strength will probably be suppressed to half.

Only fourth-tier demon race powerhouses can ignore this "demon-slaying incense".

The Golden Eagle King wasn't very strong; he had only broken through to the Golden Core Realm a few decades ago, and he immediately cowered upon seeing the "Demon-Slaying Incense."

It's not worth it for them to fight such a vicious woman for the sake of those barbarians.

"Array up!"

This woman went to such great lengths, even using the "Demon-Slaying Incense" worth tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones, so naturally she couldn't let the Golden Eagle King escape.

She waved the triangular flag in her hand again, and instantly, just like the situation encountered by the "Azure Cloud Boat," the Golden Eagle King and the five shamans were also blocked by illusions and unable to escape.

"Hmph! My 'Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sealing Spirit Array' is a second-tier advanced array that I spent a great deal of effort to comprehend. It is specifically designed to disturb the mind of cultivators, making them unable to distinguish east from west and north from south!"

Seeing the two formations trapping both groups, the woman in white smiled coldly and muttered to herself, seemingly quite pleased with herself.

She looked to both sides, and finally, in a flash, she flew to the vicinity of the Golden Eagle King, bringing the "Demon-Slaying Incense" close to him, afraid that any smoke would dissipate in the air and waste such a good thing.

"how's it going?"

Just as this woman trapped Golden Eagle King and his group, Fu Chao couldn't help but ask a question on the "Azure Cloud Boat".

"Don't rush! Yunyi, leave the 'Azure Cloud Boat' to me!"

Li Yunjing didn't look at Fu Chao, but instead gave instructions to Yu Yunyi.

"it is good!"

Yu Yunyi immediately got up from the main control position in the driver's seat and let Li Yunjing take over.

After Li Yunjing sat down, he quickly adjusted the direction of the "Azure Cloud Boat" and slowly started the "Azure Cloud Boat" to sail forward.

"Boom!"

The next moment, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao felt the ship shake. Looking out, they saw huge storms sweeping in from all directions.

The various tornadoes were tens of thousands of feet high, and the "Azure Cloud Boat" was caught in them. Li Yunjing and the others felt dizzy and disoriented, as if the entire "Azure Cloud Boat" was about to be torn apart by the storm.

Especially around Li Yunjing and his group, there were creaking sounds, as if the "Qingyun Boat" was disintegrating.

"Old Li! You've got it wrong, we're doomed!"

Even a daring person like Fu Chao turned pale with fright and couldn't help but scream to vent his fear.

"What's there to be afraid of! It's all an illusion!"

Hearing the screams of Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, Li Yunjing felt somewhat agitated. The scene before him was so real that he could hardly distinguish between reality and illusion.

The woman's array illusions were so powerful that they were beyond Li Yunjing's expectations.

At this moment, Li Yunjing had no time to waste. He calmed his mind and continued to steer the "Azure Cloud Boat" through the storm.

As for the rumors of the "Azure Cloud Boat" disintegrating, Li Yunjing simply ignored them.

His only worry now is that this formation seems to reverse space. If he stays inside the formation, no matter which direction the "Azure Cloud Boat" flies, he will not be able to escape from it.
