Chapter 2402: Volume 11: The True Immortal Descends to the World, Chapter 2384: Ambush
"I didn't expect a True Immortal would chase us like a mad dog either. But rest assured, as long as the spiritual liquid isn't exhausted, he won't be able to do anything to the two of us." Hearing this, Liu Yi opened his eyes and said with some resentment.
"That was because your earlier words were quite provocative; you've already made him hate you to the bone, which is why he's chasing us so relentlessly," Bing Feng said with a huff.
"What do you know? If I hadn't used my words to make you lose your composure, we wouldn't have had the chance to use secret techniques to widen the distance in the first place. If it really comes to it, we'll just have to leave this continent and return to Fengyuan first. I don't believe he'll keep chasing us all the way to another continent," Liu Yi said coldly.
"Leaving Xue Tian—that's actually a good idea. Since this person is a True Immortal who descended to the Xue Tian Continent, he must have some important business to attend to. Once I escape back to the Fengyuan Continent, he might have some reservations and stop chasing us so desperately," Bing Feng said, her beautiful eyes lighting up.
"If that's truly the case, that would be for the best," Liu Yi nodded gloomily.
After the three of them rested for the better part of a day, they dared not remain in the mountain belly any longer. They transformed into two streaks of light, rushed out of the small mountain, and continued their escape.
But this time, no sooner had the two of them circled in the air than the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated, and four faint figures flashed into view, emitting terrifyingly powerful auras.
Liu Yi and his companion were startled. They immediately retracted their escape light, revealed their forms, and stopped high in the sky, sizing up the four individuals.
They saw that the four were dressed in various attires—two men and two women—and all of them possessed the cultivation of the Great Ascension stage.
"What is the meaning of this, fellow Daoists? Are you here specifically for me?" Liu Yi asked with narrowed eyes after looking them over.
"You must be fellow Daoist Liu Yi. If I'm not mistaken, the four of us are indeed waiting here for you," a green-faced man in a blood-red robe said with a hint of eeriness.
"Oh, so you really do recognize me. I don't recall offending any fellow Daoists of the same rank in Xue Tian," Liu Yi said coldly, his expression shifting slightly.
"Don't misunderstand, fellow Daoist. We aren't here to cause you trouble, but rather to ask fellow Daoist Liu Yi for a small favor," the green-faced man replied with a half-smile.
"A favor! Is this how you ask for favors? What if I refuse!" Liu Yi, already filled with pent-up frustration from being hunted, could no longer suppress his inner brutality upon seeing these four Xue Tian Great Ascension cultivators acting with ill intent. He shouted with a flash of murderous intent.
If these people couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, he might truly lash out immediately.
In any case, with his powerful escape techniques, even if he couldn't defeat the four of them combined, escaping with Bing Feng would still be an easy task.
"Fellow Daoist Liu Yi, there is no need to be angry. The favor we are asking of you will not only be of great benefit to us, but it will also be a huge help to you. Aren't you currently being hunted?" The green-faced man's expression remained unchanged; instead, he asked with a look of confidence.
"What is the meaning of this?" Liu Yi's heart skipped a beat, and the ferocity on his face vanished instantly.
"It's very simple. What we want you to do is lure the person who has been hunting you to a special location. As long as he dares to follow you there, he will certainly never return. Isn't this a win-win situation!" the green-faced man said calmly.
"You want to ambush him?" Liu Yi was truly shocked.
"That's right, we do have that intention. However, to accomplish this, we need the two of you to cooperate," the green-faced man admitted frankly.
Bing Feng, standing to the side, was extremely surprised to hear these words.
"Do you know the background of the person hunting us? And you think you can do it with just the four of you?" Liu Yi asked with a sneer after a moment of hesitation.
"Who said only the four of us are involved? Heh heh, regardless of his background, since he dared to commit the blood sacrifice of hundreds of millions of lives in our Xue Tian, even if he is a True Immortal, he won't be leaving the Xue Tian Continent alive this time," the green-faced man said with a hint of arrogance.
"Haha. Good, very good. With your word on that, I agree to help," Liu Yi laughed heartily after hearing this and agreed without hesitation.
Although the green-faced man felt Liu Yi's reaction was slightly strange, since the other party had agreed to help, he couldn't be bothered to overthink it. He immediately raised his sleeve, and a jade slip flew out toward the opposite side.
"This contains the precise location to lure that fierce demon. As long as you can lead him there, he will definitely face certain death. I believe fellow Daoist Liu Yi will not let us down," the green-faced man said meaningfully.
"Rest assured, even for the sake of my own life, I won't mess this up," Liu Yi replied calmly after receiving the jade slip, having regained his usual composure.
"Very well, then we wish you success. We have other important matters to attend to, so we will take our leave," the green-faced man nodded and said with a cupped-fist salute.
Space fluctuated!
The four Great Ascension cultivators vanished from the spot just as they had arrived.
Liu Yi remained quietly in place, his face filled with contemplation.
"Liu Yi, are you really planning to act as bait?" Bing Feng asked abruptly.
"As long as we can remove this major threat, what does it matter if we act as bait once? It's certainly more reliable than taking the huge risk of running back to Fengyuan," Liu Yi said slowly.
"But you saw with your own eyes how he killed three Great Ascension cultivators in one go. Do you really think these Great Ascension cultivators can eliminate this madman from the Immortal World?" Bing Feng looked deeply doubtful.
"Did you hear what they said? 'Even if he is a True Immortal, he won't leave the Xue Tian Continent alive.' Since they dare to make such bold claims, they must have prepared plenty of trump cards. They just never expected that the one they have to deal with is truly a True Immortal. This is fine, too. Since they dare to use me as bait, let them fight until both sides are heavily wounded," Liu Yi said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"What if that madman from the Immortal World breaks out of the ambush? He can't be unaware of being lured into a trap. When he gets angry, I'm afraid he won't be chasing and stopping like a cat playing with a mouse anymore. Once he goes all out, our situation will be much worse than it is now," Bing Feng said after some thought, still full of concern.
"I have considered this as well. Even if that madman is a True Immortal, he is a True Immortal whose power has been sealed by more than half. Under the surprise ambush of so many Great Ascension cultivators, even if his strength is heaven-defying and he manages to break out of the encirclement, he will definitely be severely injured. In such a state, he won't even have the time to recover, let alone chase us. Therefore, this is the perfect opportunity for us to shake off the pursuit. Even if it involves some risk, it is absolutely worth a try," Liu Yi said with a cold smile.
This time, Bing Feng seemed to be completely convinced by Liu Yi. After thinking for a moment, she finally nodded.
"Good, since you have no objections, let me see where they have prepared the ambush," Liu Yi said, placing the jade slip against his forehead and probing it with his divine sense.
"Let's go, I know the location now. That madman from the Immortal World should be arriving here soon," Liu Yi said without hesitation after putting away the jade slip. He took the lead, soaring into the sky and transforming into a long rainbow that tore through the air.
Bing Feng sighed, rolled on the ground, and transformed into a crystalline ice phoenix, following closely behind.
High in the sky, at an unknown distance, a seemingly frail black-robed youth was riding a gorgeous cloud, flying in the same direction at a leisurely pace.
At the same time, standing before the altar, Han Li, who had just finished casting his spell, opened his eyes with extreme joy.
"Found it. This altar shows the coordinates of the entrance to the Small Spirit Realm."
"Senior Han, is this true?" Zhu Guo'er, who was assisting with the spell nearby, was greatly invigorated upon hearing this.
"Indeed. It wasn't in vain that I spent so much time; at least it wasn't all for nothing," Han Li replied with a smile. As he dispersed the magic arts, the massive disc-shaped light screen that had been floating above the altar vanished into thin air.
"Senior Han, since we know the location of the entrance, should we head there now?" Zhu Guo'er asked excitedly.
"Don't be hasty. According to the Xue Tian map, the entrance to the Small Spirit Realm is no longer on the Xue Tian Continent, but deep under the sea, quite far from the continent," Han Li said, frowning as he recalled the map of the entire Xue Tian Continent and compared it with the newly obtained coordinates.
"What, deep under the sea? I'm afraid this entrance won't be easy to find," Zhu Guo'er was stunned upon hearing this.
"Rest assured, I had anticipated such a situation. Hua Shi, you will need to put in more effort when the time comes," Han Li said with a slight smile, turning his head to give an order to Ancestor Hua Shi, who was standing respectfully to the side.
"Don't worry, Master Han. The underwater world is like land to this disciple. Leave the task of finding the entrance to me," Ancestor Hua Shi replied respectfully.
Han Li nodded in satisfaction. Immediately, a glow of light swirled around his body, and he took the other two into the sky.
After a few flashes, they landed on the giant ship.
A moment later, the black giant ship paused slightly, then shot away amidst a low hum.
Seven days later, in an extremely secluded desert, a masked man stood with his hands behind his back on a sand dune, looking coldly at the sky.
Below the sand dune, the ground had long been excavated by magic, and tens of thousands of elite disciples of the Blood Path stood there in dense ranks, not making a single sound.
Where the disciples stood, a super array that covered nearly half the desert had been inscribed. Thousands of top-grade spirit stones were embedded within it, and a group of special disciples holding array discs sat quietly near the various nodes.
High in the sky, which appeared to be filled with ten thousand miles of dark clouds, another super light array had already been prepared, but it was completely concealed by an extremely profound and invisible barrier.
Within this super light array, more than a dozen Xue Tian Great Ascension cultivators were also waiting quietly for something. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.) ===== CHAPTER 2403 =====
