Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 274 Top-Tier Magical Artifacts
"Huh? I found a banner here! It's actually the 'Ten Thousand Poisons Banner'!"

Suddenly, Yu Yunyi spoke up, revealing that she had made a discovery.

"You guys keep searching, I want to see this thing!"

Li Yunjing flew over suddenly, signaling the others to continue the search.

In the ruins before Li Yunjing lay a "Ten Thousand Poison Banner".

The banner was entirely emerald green, embroidered with countless poisonous creatures. Almost all the poisonous creatures that had attacked Li Yunjing and his companions earlier could be found on it.

It seems that the poisonous creatures that appeared in the Xu residence escaped from the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner".

Over the years, this supreme demonic treasure has lost its ability to control the poison within it.

"It's actually a treasure artifact, but unfortunately there's not much poison left inside, so its power has been greatly reduced. I wonder if it can still unleash the full power of a top-grade spiritual artifact."

Li Yunjing shook his head in disappointment, but he still used his magic to condense a large magical hand, grabbed the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner", and put it into one of his "Treasure Pouches".

He didn't plan to put these things in his storage ring, just in case something went wrong.

"Boom!"

Just then, the array at the passage exploded. The immense power nearly collapsed the underground world, causing an earthquake throughout the city. Countless buildings collapsed, and cracks appeared in the ground.

Countless people were awakened from their sleep, and the entire city was filled with cries and screams.

Nobody knew what had happened; they just thought an earthquake had struck, and everyone was scrambling to escape.

Shan Baiyi immediately knew that something had happened. He darted out of the city and flew towards the "Northern Emperor Sect"!
At this moment, Zhao Yibai, covered in dust and dirt, finally rushed in.

"Damn it! These little bastards are so cunning!"

He cursed angrily, his face turning almost as black as the bottom of a pot; he was so angry he nearly vomited blood and died.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yibai was tricked by Li Yunjing and his group again this time.

At this moment, he felt extremely aggrieved and wished he could grind Li Yunjing and the others to dust.

However, when he realized that it was an underground city, Zhao Yibai's thoughts changed.

In Zhao Yibai's line of sight, he saw Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao gathered together.

Before them appeared a large, crimson seal.

This crimson square seal was filled with incredibly powerful bloodthirsty energy, making it a high-quality treasure.

Instead of being alarmed by the fact that things were getting out of control, Zhao Yibai showed an excited smile.

Ever since joining the demonic path, he has always wanted to forge a demonic artifact to protect himself.

Now that he has a ready-made treasure, how could Zhao Yibai not be happy?

"Jiejie! Jiejie!"

Zhao Yibai chuckled sinisterly and shouted, "You little brats, I was furious when you ran away earlier, but now I'm actually glad I didn't kill you!"

"The four of you actually found such a powerful magical artifact for me!"

"I will reward you handsomely!"

"I will grant you the cruelest death!"

Seeing that Zhao Yibai had actually followed them in, Li Yunjing and the other three, although they had expected it, still looked grim!
This level of expert is simply not something that can be dealt with using conventional methods.

Even with some forbidden weapons, it would be difficult to kill Zhao Yibai.

Faced with this enemy, Li Yunjing took out the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" he had previously used. He then suddenly activated his magic power, and the giant banner suddenly opened, making a loud noise.

"What! Another magical artifact?"

Zhao Yibai was almost stunned. He never expected that a second magical treasure would appear here!

Could this be the cultivation ground of some powerful demonic cultivator?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yibai's face twisted with excitement, and that ferocious smile made him seem like a madman.

"kill!"

Seeing that the other party was going crazy, Li Yunjing suddenly shook the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" and released a large patch of green poisonous cloud.

"Hahaha! Junior, how could mere poison gas possibly harm me?"

Zhao Yibai sneered repeatedly, but he was obviously much more cautious. He had been tricked by Li Yunjing and his group of four several times because he underestimated them. This time, he learned to be cautious and erected a three-zhang-thick ice shield around his body.

With its defenses fully activated, even a Golden Core cultivator would find it difficult to break through in just a few attacks, let alone a mere magical artifact with its power greatly reduced.

Zhao Yibai was determined to obtain the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" and the blood-red seal. With these two treasures, he would have the means to establish himself even in areas controlled by the demonic path.

Zhao Yibai wants all the magical treasures, and he also wants to take Li Yunjing and the others' lives!

"Damn it! A serious Golden Core Realm expert is actually this powerful!"

Seeing that the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" had no effect, Li Yunjing was at a loss. All the spiritual weapons on his body, whether it was the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword", the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal", the "Five Dragon Wheel", etc., were spiritual weapons, and their attack power was relatively weak, so they could not break through Zhao Yibai's defensive aura.

"So, how is it? Can this 'Blood Demon Seal' be used?"

At this moment, Li Yunjing couldn't help but send a telepathic message urging Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao to hurry up.

"Quick! Quick!"

Fu Chao responded hastily, his face covered in sweat. It wasn't that his magic power was being used up too much, but rather that he was too anxious, which was why he was sweating so much.

As for Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi, they didn't have time to speak at all. The two of them kept pouring their magic power into the "Blood Demon Seal" and injecting blood swords into it!
There is no other way to quickly refine the "Blood Demon Seal" except through blood sacrifice.

Faced with Zhao Yibai's pressure, Li Yunjing and the others could no longer stand still to fight. Li Yunjing used the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" to continuously release streams of poisonous gas, and with Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, Fu Chao and the others, he flew away or hid underground, quickly using the "Earth Escape Technique" to evade Zhao Yibai's pursuit.

Whenever Li Yunjing and his three companions failed to catch up, they would immediately throw out a deadly weapon, using the explosions of these forbidden items to slow Zhao Yibai down for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yunjing and his companions were able to temporarily gain some distance from their opponents and fly towards the ground!

As for whether there were even more powerful magical artifacts inside the ruins, Li Yunjing and his companions no longer had the energy to search for them; the four of them could only flee in all directions as they were chased. "Rumble!"

During his escape, Li Yunjing acted ruthlessly, repeatedly bombarding the cave walls and ceiling, causing a massive collapse that threatened to bury the entire underground world!

"Damn it! Those hateful little brats!"

Seeing this, Zhao Yibai was furious. He knew that Li Yunjing and the others had just entered and discovered two treasures. He wondered how many more treasures were hidden here.

If the entire underground city is buried, even if he takes action, it will take time to excavate it, and who knows how much time will be wasted.

It should be noted that a massive earthquake has already struck Beiwang City. Such a large disturbance would not go unnoticed by the surrounding forces, nor would they remain indifferent.

At that time, it will surely attract the attention of cultivators.

Once these cultivators arrive, Zhao Yibai will no longer be able to hide!
This is not the result he wanted!

Faced with this situation, Zhao Yibai could only temporarily slow down his pursuit of Li Yunjing and the other three, and instead devoted half of his energy to using his great magical power to grind away the falling boulders.

Finally, he had no other choice. The entire underground city was collapsing, so Zhao Yibai could only use all his magical power, employing "Ice True Qi," to freeze the entire underground world.

A dense, white, chilling aura spread underground, and in just a short while, the entire underground city became a frozen world.

"Damn! That bastard is amazing!"

After Li Yunjing and the other three left the underground world, Fu Chao looked back and couldn't help but curse.

Yu Yunyi was the first to release the "Azure Cloud Boat," and the four of them jumped onto the flying boat and continued their escape southward.

When the "Azure Cloud Boat" had flown a hundred miles away, Li Yunjing and his companions could clearly feel a strong chill rapidly approaching them from behind.

The Qingyun Boat's flight speed is nowhere near as fast as Zhao Yibai's!
"Hand over the 'Ten Thousand Poison Banner' and the 'Blood Demon Seal,' and I'll spare your lives."

At this moment, Zhao Yibai was chasing after them with all his might, while using words to undermine Li Yunjing and his men's fighting spirit.

"Trying to play these tricks on me? That's something your grandpa already knew!"

Upon hearing this man's words, Li Yunjing and his men not only did not slow down, but instead fled even faster.

Li Yunjing and his companions possessed abundant resources, which could continuously provide energy, keeping the "Azure Cloud Boat" operating at full capacity, with a speed comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator!
The "Azure Cloud Boat" could fly freely in the void, constantly changing its direction and altitude, circling around, which made Zhao Yibai yell in frustration, but he just couldn't catch up with it.

Because every time he got close, a force that could threaten him would erupt from the "Azure Cloud Boat" and bombard him!

If you don't dodge, you'll definitely end up looking disheveled and possibly even suffer some injuries!
Zhao Yibai will have to flee the Ming Dynasty in the future. If he gets injured and enters the territory of the demonic cultivators, he will be in great danger.

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Yibai would absolutely not want to be injured while chasing Li Yunjing and his group, as this would not be a good outcome for him.

"This won't do! Now we either have to fight our way out of this or return to the underworld to search for the magical artifact! What should we do?"

Zhao Yibai fell into deep thought. If the "Qingyun Boat" continued to flee like this, it would definitely encounter cultivators. If the news got out and someone was hunting down the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" cultivators, he would be finished.

Before Zhao Yibai could make a decision, a tremendous force erupted once again on the "Qingyun Boat".

"Boom!"

A massive bolt of lightning shot out from the "Azure Cloud Boat" and struck Zhao Yibai.

This lightning strike used almost all of Li Yunjing's power; even a piece of his "Heavenly Thunder Stone" was broken off, unleashing tremendous power.

Demonic cultivators are naturally countered by pure Yang lightning magic. Since Zhao Yibai began cultivating demonic arts, he has naturally developed a fear of lightning magic and has to hide to the side.

"Boom!"

Following Li Yunjing's attack, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao also unleashed their thunderous power on the "Thunder Cannon," nearly shattering it and releasing a total of twelve bolts of lightning!
The power of twelve bolts of lightning resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Zhao Yibai had no choice but to stop and dodge repeatedly, not daring to take a hit easily.

"accelerate!"

At this point, the "Azure Cloud Boat" could no longer fire its cannons. If the bombardment continued, the "Thunder Cannon" would explode. Moreover, the thunder power stored in Li Yunjing and the others had dissipated completely, leaving them powerless.

"go with!"

They widened the distance by over a hundred miles in an instant. Seeing that Zhao Yibai was still pursuing them, Li Yunjing had no choice but to unleash the "Blood Demon Seal" that Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi had refined.

The "Blood Demon Seal" is a demonic artifact as hard as diamond, and it is definitely a powerful weapon. When it was smashed, the void trembled and ripples spread.

"boom!"

With a flash of his magic weapon, Zhao Yibai sent the "Blood Demon Seal" flying. However, the "Blood Demon Seal" was filled with malevolent energy. After just one collision, Zhao Yibai was enveloped in malevolent energy, and waves of malevolent energy rushed into his body, making him feel cold and almost lose control.

His primordial spirit, in particular, was shrouded in malevolent energy and was almost losing its will.

The loss of control over his body caused Zhao Yibai to pause in the void once again. He could only use his cultivation to forcefully suppress the evil energy.

"good chance!"

The "Blood Demon Seal" was summoned back, and Li Yunjing and his companions tried to escape as quickly as possible.

After waiting for three breaths, Zhao Yibai suppressed the evil energy in his body and returned to normal. He was almost going crazy.

"You little beasts! I swear I will not be human if I do not kill you!"

Just as Zhao Yibai was giving chase, two figures appeared in the distant sky. The direction from which these two came was the "Northern Emperor Sect".

With no enemies pursuing them, Shan Baiyi flew at an extremely fast speed and soon arrived within 10,000 miles of the "Northern Emperor Sect". Shan Baiyi was also very meticulous, and immediately sent a message to the seniors in the sect.

Three hundred years ago, Shan Baiyi was already a master at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. His cultivation level was almost comparable to that of the Ten True Disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Such a person naturally has a close relationship with the senior members of the sect.

The sudden return of Shan Baiyi, who had disappeared for three hundred years, immediately shocked the bigwigs of the "Northern Emperor Sect," especially since it involved four true disciples of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" being hunted down.

As the dominant power in the north of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Emperor Sect was a loyal ally of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect. When the true disciples of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect were hunted down by Golden Core cultivators, the bigwigs of the Northern Emperor Sect naturally would not remain indifferent.

These two Daoist nuns, one old and one young, were the ones who came to help Li Yunjing and his fellow Golden Core Realm elders.

Especially the old Taoist nun, with white hair and a youthful face, her body hunched over, looked as if a gust of wind could blow her over, yet her eyes were extremely sharp, like swords.
