Am I the only good person in this cultivation world?

But he's fast, and there are people who are faster than him!

Before anyone knew it, Yao Han had taken out a long flute. The flute was about the thickness of a thumb and the length of a forearm, and it was carved with blue and purple cloud patterns. The ripples flowing on it were no less impressive than those of the long spear!

He put the flute to his lips and blew gently. Waves seemed to rise between heaven and earth, and invisible ripples, accompanied by the flute music, swept towards the three of them!

"Well!"

"what!"

"What is this...?"

Three screams rang out, and the group simultaneously felt a sharp pain in their heads, as if a sharp thorn had pierced their souls, causing their consciousness to tremble and their hearts to tremble with horror!

The three of them paused for a moment, their magical artifacts losing control and clattering to the ground, without harming Yao Han in the slightest.

Just as their souls were being injured, the magic array quietly restarted and took shape. In Yao Han's eyes, the place where the three of them were standing was covered by a circular shield, like a gray giant bowl falling from the sky, with the wind howling inside the bowl!

Yao Han waved his hand, and a humanoid puppet jumped back from another direction. He patted its head, turned around, and smiled at Ai Lan.

"A feint to the east while attacking in the west, achieving victory through surprise."

Inside the formation, looking at the raging wind coming towards them, the three of them looked extremely grim.

The female cultivator surnamed Zhao was pale.

"Senior brother, both of our magical artifacts are outside. This great formation even has the power to isolate divine sense. No matter how I call out, there is no response. What should we do now!"

"Don't panic, don't lose your composure. No matter how strong this formation is, the person controlling it is just a mere Qi Refining cultivator. His hasty restart must have flaws. I still have a trump card, and it seems I have no choice but to use it. You two, pour all your mana into me, and I will break the formation!"

"Can...can it really work? That attack just now seemed to seep into my very soul, it was terrifying..."

A hint of hesitation flashed across the male cultivator's face.

"At this critical juncture, would I lie to you? If we don't join forces now, we'll both die in this battle!"

"Damn it! If my mana hadn't been depleted by this formation earlier, how could this brat have succeeded in his scheme! I saw it clearly; that soul-binding spell was cast by him using a flute. That thing is a top-tier magic artifact; with his mana, he can't use it more than a few times!"

Zhang Pan's face was contorted with rage as he struggled to maintain his protective aura while taking out an ancient-looking iron cone-shaped magical artifact from his storage bag.

"The Forbidden-Breaking Cone? Senior Brother actually possesses such a magical treasure! He's truly a hidden master!" The female cultivator surnamed Zhao was overjoyed.

"What magic weapon? It's just a replica."

Zhang Pan gave a wry smile: "However, it should be enough to break this formation. You two, listen to my command in a moment, and be sure to channel all your magic power into this cone. Once an opening is made, fly out quickly!"

"Good! That wretched brat! Once we catch him and take him to my master, we'll make sure he's stripped of his soul and his spirit refined, so he can't even die!" The woman surnamed Zhao's eyes flashed with malice.

Outside the formation, the golden light in Yao Han's eyes never faded as he constantly observed their every move with his divine sense, his fingertips gently caressing them.

"Be extremely cautious and anticipate the enemy's moves."

Upon seeing Zhang Pan unleash a cone-shaped magic artifact, Yao Han showed a hint of surprise. However, he immediately took out several spirit stones and waved his hand. The spirit stones were then arranged in specific positions outside the gray-black dome, surrounded by a faint layer of green smoke.

Yao Han muttered to himself, making a series of strange hand seals on his chest. Then, he opened his lips and exhaled a mouthful of golden mist that resembled a snake, which merged into the other layer of the magic array.

Next, Yao Han summoned the Burning Shadow Whip into the air. After doing this, he looked somewhat tired, but still explained to Ai Lan with a smile:

"Plan carefully and take precautions to prevent problems before they arise."

Inside the formation, Zhang Pan held the replica barrier-breaking cone above his head, while the other two stood beside him. Their figures swayed precariously in the gale, their clothes were tattered, and their bodies were covered with deep and shallow wounds, but they still recklessly poured their magic power into the cone.

The three streams of magical power transformed into three beams of spiritual light, causing the power of the barrier cone to continuously rise, and the magical fluctuations it emitted caused the surrounding air to twist and tremble incessantly!

"Senior brother... I'm dying..."

"Hang in there a little longer!"

Zhang Pan gritted her teeth, seized the opportunity, and suddenly pointed straight ahead:

"Break it!"

The cone spun rapidly in mid-air, swirling up bursts of dazzling white light as it pierced into the void.

With a few sharp sounds like porcelain bowls shattering, a crack appeared above the heads of the three people. Zhang Pan bit her tongue, spat out a mouthful of blood essence, and added it to the tip of the cone!

The light from the barrier-breaking cone shone brightly, drilling a hole the size of a water vat into the crack!

Yao Han was deeply moved and gripped the Burning Shadow Whip tightly in his hand.

"Great, Senior Brother! Let's get out of here quickly—"

Before the woman surnamed Zhao could finish speaking, Zhang Pan suddenly sprang up, transforming into a streak of red light and disappearing in a flash.

She quickly used her lightness technique and tried to retrieve the flying sword she had left behind, but the hole only appeared for a moment. As soon as Zhang Pan escaped, the hole quickly closed in the strong wind.

"Senior brother! You—"

"Junior Sister Zhao, Junior Brother Li, you two can rest in peace. I, Zhang, will never forget this kindness! Once my magic power recovers, I will definitely slay this fiend and avenge you!"

Zhang Pan transmitted her voice from afar, her tone seemingly carrying a hint of joy.

"Zhang Pan!! I've followed you for so long for nothing!! You despicable and shameless scoundrel!!"

Seeing that she could not escape safely, the female cultivator surnamed Zhao completely abandoned all pretense of civility and began cursing loudly in the direction where the sound had disappeared.

Meanwhile, Zhang Pan was in high spirits and flew down the mountain without looking back.

Revenge? They're just two burdens, why risk your life for them!

This mysterious cultivator has so many tricks up his sleeve—a grand formation, puppets, and top-tier magic artifacts—his background must be extraordinary. He might even be a disciple of a major sect traveling abroad. How could these rogue cultivators possibly afford to offend him!

When I get back, I'll just tell my master.

Sigh, I'll just have to find some more young cultivators with spiritual roots to complete this task!

Zhang Pan was very confident in his speed. Moreover, the other party was only a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Although his mana was currently depleted, he would not be able to catch up with this person at all.

Are you kidding me? Trying to catch up with Foundation Establishment level through Qi Refining? That's a pipe dream.

Therefore, he had lowered his guard and simply kept flying into the distance.

After flying for a while, Zhang Pan suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Why can't you fly out of this mountain?

"You're only realizing something's wrong now? Too late!"

A sharp shout came from above, startling Zhang Pan. She quickly raised her spiritual light again to protect her upper body.

As a result, a commotion came from the dense forest below!

The sound of rustling grass and trees filled the air. In a short while, a giant blue-white python roared out of the forest, sending leaves and broken branches flying everywhere!

The python's head was larger than his entire body, and its size was astonishing. Although its head was almost within reach, it seemed that only half of its body had emerged from the forest, while the other half was still coiled in the bushes, with its icy blue scales only visible through the gaps in the leaves.

"A third-tier demonic beast!! How is that possible!!"

Zhang Pan was shocked and his face turned ashen. Normally, he could easily deal with a demonic beast of this level, but now that he had exhausted his magic power and used all his trump cards, he was powerless to fight it!

In his haste, he could only cover his entire body with his protective aura. However, the giant python, with its gaping maw, did not bite hard. Instead, it exhaled a cloud of chilling white air. Within the cold current, the pale red protective aura shattered into countless points of light.

With a whistling sound like an arrow, a golden-red whip descended from the sky, like a fiery sunset, turning Zhang Pan's head into a cloud of blood mist!

Yao Han casually took the storage bag from his waist, stepped on the giant python's head, and returned to the ground amidst the rain of blood, landing in front of Ai Lan.

With fingers joined together, the purification technique is performed, and the white robe flutters, spotless.

"Strike while the iron is hot, and press your advantage. Letting a tiger return to the mountain will bring endless trouble."

"Lan'er, have you learned it?"

Why aren't you saying anything?

Yao Ailan stared in disbelief at everything, her eyes gleaming with a strange and wonderful light:

"Grandpa, you're so cool!"
