Seeking immortality begins with daily intelligence reports.

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng She's face suddenly darkened. He turned his head and stared intently, his pupils changing slightly, but he could not find any trace of Li Shen.

Anger surged within him.

Not only because the prey they had caught escaped, but also because the one who disrupted this meticulously planned encirclement was just an ant at the late stage of Qi Refining.

As the young master of the Blood Soul Sect and an elite disciple, he could not allow such a defeat.

"Chase!"

Leng She gritted his teeth and hissed, flipping his hand to put away the blood-red short blade, and then took something out of his storage bag.

It was a round worm about the size of a palm, milky white all over, and unusually plump.

This insect is called the "Greedy Molting Gu." It has low intelligence and its strength is only at the first-tier demon beast level, but it has a strange quirk:

They have a strong craving for the soft shells, skin, and flesh scraps of their own kind or shed skin.

As long as a trace of the familiar soft shell or bits of flesh remains on the target, it can pinpoint its location even from miles away.

Therefore, its tracking ability far surpasses that of ordinary insects.

With a flick of his finger, Leng She caused the greedy molting worm to clumsily spin its round body.

It makes a very faint but teeth-grinding hissing sound as its mouthparts open and close.

The contract was made with him, and Leng She instantly understood his meaning.

Driven by his spiritual power, he swayed and sped off in the direction indicated by the Greedy Molting Gu Worm.

Han Yuanhua retrieved the fire fox beast that had been injured by the ice pillars created by Zhao Ying and quickly followed the three black-robed cultivators on the roof.

Li Shen, who was fleeing at full speed ahead, felt a sinking feeling in his heart and sensed something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, the Blood Soul Sect members actually caught up with us, and the methods they used directly revealed the effect of the superior-grade Concealing Talisman.

This was his first time facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator head-on, and he was indeed not so easy to deal with.

Li Shen's mind raced as he pondered how to escape, when Zhao Ying's voice transmission rang in his ear, her tone remarkably calm:

"Fellow Daoist Li, this cannot continue. I have a Light Escape Talisman that allows you to escape instantly, but the speed is extremely fast. Since your cultivation has just entered the late stage of Qi Refining, you need to take a Mind Concentration Pill in advance to avoid damaging your primordial spirit."

"good!"

In this critical situation, Li Shen couldn't think of a better solution at the moment, so he decisively nodded in agreement.

With a slight flicker of light at his fingertips, he took out a small jade bottle containing the Mind-Concentrating Pill from his storage bag and quickly swallowed it.

Zhao Ying then activated the Light Escape Talisman, and a ball of azure light appeared out of thin air, enveloping him.

The next moment, the speed suddenly increased, and it shot straight out.

The calming medicinal power dissipated within his body. Although he had taken precautions beforehand, he still felt a slight discomfort under the extreme speed of the Light Escape Talisman, with only the whistling wind in his ears.

"Trying to run away?!"

Leng She snorted dismissively, then summoned a light escape talisman.

A burst of blood-red light enveloped Han Yuanhua and the late-stage Qi Refining subordinate who had discovered Li Shen.

Their speed also increased dramatically, instantly leaving the remaining two Blood Soul Sect disciples behind and chasing closely behind.

Under the cover of night, two streaks of blue and red light appeared one after the other, very close to the bite, heading straight for the outskirts of Linlang City.

Just as the two streaks of light flew away from Linlang City, a giant ship appeared out of thin air.

The Blood Soul Sect's flag flew atop the tallest mast.

On the deck below the flag, besides about twenty Qi Refining disciples and ten Foundation Establishment disciples from the Blood Soul Sect, there were also three Golden Core elders calmly overlooking Linlang City.

One of them, a middle-aged elder with a mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, glanced to the lower right.

I briefly glanced at the two streaks of light that were leaving the city.

"What discovery did the Third Elder make?"

Standing to his left was a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage, with a hunched figure, covered by a huge black robe, revealing only his sinister and ugly face, and holding a skull banner emitting black smoke in his hand.

"Nothing much, just some juniors chasing each other. Leng She, that kid, found his prey."

His voice was flat, and he lost interest in the two streaks of light. His gaze returned to the center of the city, to the tallest ancient building that belonged to Master Duobao.

This is their real purpose in coming here today!

The hunched elder, holding the black banner with a skull, let out a hoarse laugh:

"Hehe, let She'er be. That old man Lu Zhengyang is probably still indulging in his rare treasures right now, isn't he? The city's treasures, spiritual veins, and even the blood, flesh, and soul of cultivators will all belong to my Blood Soul Sect today! It's been a long time since I've had my Yin Soul Banner nourished."

On the far right, another elder, a Golden Core cultivator with an effeminate face and sharp, blood-red finger cots on all ten fingers, licked his lips and said greedily:

"It's getting late, let's get started."

As the three were talking, the protective array of Linlang City was activated by itself.

"Break through the formation! Don't let a single one escape!"

Leng Rulie gave the order in a stern voice.

"Yes, sir!"

Dozens of Blood Soul Sect disciples on the ship responded in unison, their voices filled with fervor. They then leaped into the air, each taking their positions, and connected their spiritual energy with the giant cannon at the bow of the ship, simultaneously channeling their spiritual power into it.

In an instant, a ball of blood-red light condensed at the muzzle of the cannon.

In no time, the cannon fired a powerful shot, which landed squarely on the city's defensive formation.

Although the array barrier was not directly breached, it still shook violently as a result.

The ground of the entire city of Linlang trembled!

"Blood Soul Sect, how dare you invade my Linlang City?!"

A furious roar, as loud as thunder, soared into the sky from Linlang City!

A dazzling golden beam of light instantly flew into the air, revealing a middle-aged cultivator wearing a brocade Taoist robe, with slightly graying temples and hair standing on end in anger.

It was none other than the guardian of Linlang City, the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, Master Duobao!

He held in his hand a radiant, square jade seal, which was his natal magic weapon, the "Mountain-Suppressing Treasure Seal".

Master Duobao scanned the area with his divine sense, and his expression darkened.

The other side not only dispatched three Golden Core elders, but also dozens of disciples, clearly indicating that they came prepared and had grand ambitions!

"Leng Rulie! Blood Bone Old Ghost! And you, Yin Claw Old Ghost! Does your Blood Soul Sect intend to wage a full-scale war against my Linlang City and the Seven Righteous Sects?!"

Master Duobao glared at the three people on the giant ship and questioned them sharply.

"Go to war?"

Leng Rulie sneered:

"Lu Zhengyang, times have changed. Those righteous guys have occupied Laoshan for nearly a thousand years. Now it's time to return it to our Blood Soul Sect. Along with this place, it naturally belongs to our Blood Soul Sect today as well. Considering your hard-won cultivation, hand over the city's treasury and join the Blood Soul Sect, and perhaps we can spare your life."

"Arrogant!"

Master Duobao was furious:

"The three of you? You think you can break through my Linlang City? You'll have to ask for my precious seal first!"

Without further ado, he spun the Zhenyue Treasure Seal in his hand, which suddenly grew to the size of a house, carrying a strong wind and immense spiritual power, and crashed into the giant ship in the air!

At the same time, he flicked his sleeve, and seven or eight streams of light of different colors shot out. They were all kinds of magical treasures such as knives, swords, bells, cauldrons, and mirrors, which transformed into a torrent of magical treasures to assist the treasure seal in attacking together!

The name Duobao is truly well-deserved!

"Well done!"

A glint flashed in Leng Rulie's eyes. He remained motionless, but a blood-red banner suddenly rose behind him. The banner seemed to be entwined with vengeful spirits. It was his natal magic weapon, the Blood Fiend Banner.

As the blood flag unfurled, boundless phantoms appeared, and countless ferocious ghost hands emerged from the surging blood waves, holding up the Mountain-Suppressing Treasure Seal and blocking the various magical treasures that attacked.

"Heh heh heh, you still have us as your rivals!"

The hunched, blood-skinned old ghost let out a strange laugh and vigorously shook the Yin Soul Banner in his hand.

Suddenly, ghosts howled and wolves howled, and black mist, as black as ink, billowed out.

Three towering late-stage Foundation Establishment soul slaves emerged from the black mist, their eye sockets glowing with green soul flames. They brandished bone knives and spears and lunged at Lu Zhengyang.

The black energy is also quite sinister, possessing extremely strong corrosive and defilement effects on magical artifacts and spiritual light.

Then, the old ghost with the Yin Claws flickered and disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

In the next instant, ten sharp, blood-red rays shot straight toward Master Duobao's face!

"Just some evil tricks!"

Lu Zhengyang was not intimidated at all and moved swiftly.

A set of dazzling golden armor suddenly appeared around his body, withstanding the sudden attack of the Yin Claw Old Ghost, and producing a series of metallic clanging sounds.

His mind raced, knowing he had to finish the battle quickly. Otherwise, if he were completely entangled by the three, and the Blood Soul Sect disciple used the Breaking Formation Cannon to break through the city's protective formation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He then gritted his teeth and spat a mouthful of blood onto the Zhenyue Seal.

"break!"

With a hum, the treasure seal shone brightly, its power increased by three times, crushing Leng Rulie's Blood Sea Ghost Hand and striking directly at him!

Taking this opportunity, Master Duobao took out a golden bead the size of a longan.

【Golden Thunder Pearl】!

Although it is only a one-time use magic weapon, its power is comparable to the full-force attack of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. It also contains the power of thunder, which is specifically designed to counter evil and demonic methods. It is extremely difficult to refine.

Even with his renowned reputation for treasures, only two of them survived.

At this moment, I can't even think about feeling sorry for myself!

"go!"
