Seeking immortality begins with daily intelligence reports.

The greedy worm hissed excitedly; if Li Shen hadn't been holding it down, it probably would have jumped out.

"My two fairies, as that person just said, to remove the tracking mark left by the Blood Soul Sect, we just need to let this insect eat it on its own. Are you two fairies ready?"

Li Shen looked at Zhao Ying and Zhao Qian and asked them seriously.

Zhao Qian frowned slightly, glanced at the ugly and fat worm in Li Shen's hand, and looked rather troubled.

The thought of having such a bug crawling on her body filled her with dread.

Although the older sister, Zhao Ying, still maintained her indifferent expression, a slight twitch of her eyebrows indicated that she shared the same thoughts as her younger sister.

Li Shen took in their different reactions and smiled slightly.

He naturally guessed what the two were thinking, but he never intended to do so from the beginning.

The Greedy Molting Gu Worm is a spirit insect raised by the Blood Soul Sect. Even though he knew it wouldn't pose any threat to the two of them, he couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't leave behind a trace of demonic energy.

To be on the safe side, he would have the Soul-Eating Ants do the whole thing, just like he did with removing the marks from his body.

After thinking for a moment, a flash of inspiration appeared at Li Shen's fingertip, summoning a small swarm of spirit-devouring ants that hovered above his fingertip:

"My spirit insects will remove those fragments one by one in a moment. You two fairies just need to wait patiently and not interfere."

Zhao Qian and Zhao Ying glanced at the buzzing black ant swarm together.

Now that a more suitable option was available, the older sister, Zhao Ying, nodded first in agreement.

Her younger sister, Zhao Qian, breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in return, and said softly:

"Then I'll trouble you."

Li Shen hummed in agreement, and then with a thought, the swarm of spirit-devouring ants at his fingertips obediently split into two streams, like two thin black clouds, drifting towards the two sisters respectively.

"The two fairies should not use their spiritual power; just relax."

Zhao Ying did as instructed, letting the tiny ants land on her shoulder.

The Soul-Eating Ants sometimes flew and hovered around her, and sometimes crawled quickly on her body, making extremely faint rustling sounds. The touch was tingling and numb, causing her eyelids to twitch slightly, but she ultimately did not move.

Zhao Qian couldn't help but let out a soft "Ah!" Her cheeks flushed instantly as the ants crawled across her collarbone, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Don't move."

Li Shen spoke up to remind him.

Zhao Qian could only bite her lower lip, trying to suppress the strange feeling. Her pretty face turned bright red, but she couldn't help but glance at Li Shen.

Li Shen remained calm, focusing intently on controlling the Soul-Devouring Ants.

A moment later, the two groups of spirit-devouring ants went back and forth on the Zhao sisters several times, each ant carrying a small piece of debris in its mouth.

They were piled up together following Li Shen's orders.

After a moment, Li Shen spoke:

"alright."

Zhao Qian felt relieved upon hearing this, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her shoulder and collarbone, where the sensation of ants crawling on her body still lingered.

He nodded slightly as a way of saying thank you.

Zhao Ying looked at Li Shen and said softly:

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li."

"You two fairies, there's no need to be so polite. We're fighting together, so it's only right that we look out for each other."

As Li Shen spoke, his gaze swept across the surroundings, and he said in a deep voice:

"Now that the mark has been removed, it's not safe to stay here any longer. The Blood Soul Sect's warships have appeared in Linlang City. If they come to Fallen Soul Forest, we'll be in danger. Let's leave Fallen Soul Forest first."

The two shared the same view as Li Shen.

However, with the night deep and the fog thick, some methods will be needed to leave safely.

Zhao Ying moved her lips, and a flying boat flew out of her storage bag, shrunk to its normal size, and stopped to one side.

Then, the runes engraved on the hull lit up one by one as Zhao Ying recited the incantation.

Suddenly, I was enveloped by a curtain of azure light, which then gradually faded and blended into the environment.

"This flying boat is equipped with a tracking technique that allows it to navigate to the Zhao family's location on its own. The defensive formation is also activated. Let's board."

Zhao Ying explained softly, stepping onto the small wooden ladder that extended from the flying boat and touched the ground, and boarded the boat first.

Zhao Qian glanced back at Li Shen, hesitated, and then followed him upstairs.

After Li Shen and the other greedy Gu worms had eaten all the debris, they used a fireball talisman to burn it along with the corpse of the Blood Soul Sect cultivator.

They waited until the fire was almost completely burned before turning around and boarding the ship.

With outsiders present, he had no intention of performing the soul-extraction ritual.

Although it's a bit of a pity, the Zhao family is more important to him than a soul in the late stage of Qi Refining.

"Fellow Daoist Li is indeed cautious."

Zhao Ying smiled gently, offered a comment, and at the same time, a spiritual light emanated from her fingertips, guiding the flying boat to ascend smoothly into the air.

The airship glided silently through the night sky, completely shut out by the wind outside the protective shield, and the only sound inside was the soft breathing of the three people.

Zhao Qian would steal glances at Li Shen every now and then, her eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.

He didn't stay on the deck, but went into the cabin alone.

After stabilizing the energy array supporting the airship's flight, Zhao Ying exchanged a few pleasantries with Li Shen and returned to her cabin.

Before long, only Li Shen remained on the deck.

He stood at the bow of the ship and exhaled a breath of stale air, reviewing his trip to Linlang City in his mind, his divine sense constantly extending outward, vigilant of his surroundings.

After about fifteen minutes, he frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with a bluish light, and quickly looked towards the night sky to the right of the flying boat.

An extremely powerful aura emanated from there, and it was approaching them at an incredibly fast speed.

At the same time, Zhao Ying and Zhao Qian also came out of the cabin one after another, looking in the same direction as Li Shen.

Golden Core cultivator?

Li Shen had some guesses in his mind and was about to ask the two sisters how they planned to deal with the situation.

Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from directly in front of the flying boat.

Without a doubt, he is also a Golden Core cultivator.

His current spiritual awareness was not strong enough to distinguish whose aura it was, so he immediately grabbed a high-grade golden shield talisman, ready to activate it at any time.

Zhao Ying, seemingly noticing Li Shen's actions, calmly spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Li, there's no need to be nervous. It's the elders from the three sects who have arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a white robe appeared directly in front of the flying boat.

Under the cover of night, a deep gaze pierced through the airship's spiritual energy shield, sweeping over the three people on the deck.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle Chen."

Zhao Ying stepped forward and respectfully cupped her hands in greeting.

Zhao Qian and Li Shen followed closely behind, exchanging greetings together.

The middle-aged man did not respond immediately. His gaze swept around and suddenly fixed on Li Shen.

With his head down, Li Shen couldn't tell what the other person's expression was, but he clearly sensed a strong killing intent.

A cold sweat broke out, my heart raced, my body began to tremble, and my thoughts raced.

Judging from Zhao Ying's attitude, the other party should be an elder from one of the three sects of Yunhe Mountain.

I don't think I've ever offended someone of that kind.

But the impending killing intent felt very real.

Could it be because of the Koreanization?

This was the only possibility Li Shen could think of at the moment.

He gripped the golden shield charm in his sleeve even tighter.

If the other party really wants to make a move, and I use all my means, what are my chances of surviving?

The effect of Qi Refining on Golden Core is almost zero.

He had to admit that this was the harsh reality brought about by the gap in cultivation levels.

Even so, he never gave up the idea of ​​living.

Fortunately, that murderous intent only lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

Instead, a kind smile and an approachable expression of concern were shown.

"You two girls, how is your master doing lately?"
