Chapter 902: Cao Tian: This Trip is Complete

"Senior Brother, do you think Cao Tian and the others will notice anything?"

In the sky.

Wang Jianqiang was flying ahead, with Mu Lingxi following behind; she looked at his back and asked.

Just before they left the battlefield.

Senior Brother had already discovered through the sensing of the Soul Imprint that Cao Tian, Xiaoyue Daoren, and their group of three were rapidly approaching the battlefield.

Although Senior Brother had used methods to erase the traces of battle from the scene before leaving.

Because Cao Tian and the others were approaching so quickly, they had to leave before the three of them arrived, making the process of erasing the traces somewhat rushed, and it was unclear if it had been effective.

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment, "The battle fluctuations there have become very faint after my erasure."

"Unless Cao Tian has special means, he will certainly be unable to detect them."

"Even if he does possess special means, if he arrives a little later, the battle aura will have completely dissipated, leaving nothing to perceive."

"There shouldn't be any problems."

Mu Lingxi nodded upon hearing this.

"Caught up!"

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang spoke suddenly.

Mu Lingxi's eyes lit up.

A light flashed over her body, and she immediately transformed into the appearance of Ye Lingyun.

A moment later.

Four faint, flickering auras appeared within her perception.

She immediately flew impatiently in the direction from which the auras came.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang cautioned her with some concern, "Remember, hold back your strength."

"Got it~"

Less than half an hour later, Mu Lingxi flew back.

With a wave of her palm.

Four sealed Nascent Souls appeared before Wang Jianqiang, "Done, let's continue to find the next team."

Wang Jianqiang put away the four Nascent Souls in front of him and nodded with a smile.

After searching the battlefield, the three men led by Cao Tian did not find any traces left behind by Ye Lingyun when he departed.

He frowned.

Just as he was preparing to leave, his expression suddenly shifted.

He took out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

The next moment.

His complexion changed.

The two people beside him felt a sense of foreboding simultaneously upon seeing the change in his expression.

"Daoist Friend Cao, what is it?"

Xiaoyue Daoren asked.

"Another squad has been wiped out," Cao Tian said with a dark face.

"Was it Ye Lingyun again?"

Hearing Cao Tian's words, the expressions of Xiaoyue Daoren and the other Cangzhou Cultivator changed simultaneously.

Cao Tian nodded with a gloomy face, "That's right, it was him."

The two of them looked grave.

"This Ye Lingyun has actually wiped out two of our teams in such a short time; could it be that he really encountered some astonishing fortuitous encounter and his strength has greatly increased?"

"If that is the case, we might also be in danger!"

Cao Tian shook his head, "There is no need to be so pessimistic; that Ye Lingyun's strength is indeed somewhat beyond my expectations, but it is far from being so powerful that we cannot contend with him."

Upon hearing this, the two of them looked moved, "You already know Ye Lingyun's strength?"

Cao Tian nodded, "Ye Lingyun did not have an easy time with this attack; he only managed to defeat that squad with great difficulty."

"Looking at it this way, the first squad that was wiped out must have been separated and picked off one by one by him."

"With his strength, contending with four of our team members at once is already his limit."

Hearing Cao Tian's words, the two of them let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

Contending with four team members at once?

Such strength, while already quite astonishing.

Still does not compare to Leader Stage combat power.

Although Cao Tian is not a Cangzhou Leader, his strength is truly at the Leader Stage.

With his strength, it is enough to deal with Ye Lingyun.

Not to mention they have the two of them assisting on the side?

If the intelligence is true.

With the strength of their team, they are fully capable of easily slaughtering that Ye Lingyun!

"Let's go, let's head to the second battlefield first to take a look."

"See if we can track Ye Lingyun."

Cao Tian greeted the two of them and flew toward the direction of the second battlefield.

Half a day later.

The three of them had just approached the second battlefield, not yet having arrived.

Cao Tian's expression suddenly shifted, and he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman again; after listening to the message within, his face turned ashen.

"Ye Lingyun has found our third squad."

"The third squad has also been wiped out!"

Hearing Cao Tian's words, Xiaoyue Daoren and the other person's expressions changed as well.

What speed!

Could this Ye Lingyun have some special method for tracking people?

In this way, of the seventeen members of the Elite Squad, only the three of them remained!

Cao Tian was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Go straight to the third battlefield!"

Having said this, he changed direction, abandoning the second battlefield that was close at hand.

He flew off toward the distance.

……

After killing the four Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators of the third squad.

Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi did not continue to roam through this Flame World.

However, they did not leave immediately either.

Instead, they came to the exit of this world and went into hiding.

"Lingxi, remind me when Cao Tian and the other two arrive."

After Wang Jianqiang instructed Mu Lingxi, he left her to keep watch while he went to a secluded spot.

He set up an Array to isolate his aura, then took out an Instrument Furnace and a large quantity of Spirit Mineral.

He began refining instruments to accumulate Cultivation Points.

……

Days passed one by one.

Half a year later.

Three figures appeared at the exit.

They were none other than Cao Tian, Xiaoyue Daoren, and another Cangzhou cultivator.

The three of them were quite disheveled at this moment.

Cao Tian flew in the lead, and as he recalled the events from not long ago, an irrepressible shock appeared in his expression.

"This Ye Lingyun is truly not simple; no wonder he has been able to survive until now under the pursuit and interception of Tianlang Hall."

Long before finding Ye Lingyun.

Through the transmissions from when the other three squads were killed, he had already calculated Ye Lingyun's strength.

But until later, when he actually found Ye Lingyun.

He suddenly discovered that he seemed to have still underestimated this Ye Lingyun.

Ye Lingyun's cultivation was not at the Ninth-Order Will Level Limit, but rather just entering the Ninth-Order Will Stage, lower than he had expected.

Yet his combat power was at least thirty percent higher than he had guessed!

Xiaoyue Daoren nodded in deep agreement, then revealed a look of satisfaction, "But fortunately, we finally got rid of him."

Ever since he was defeated in public by this Ye Lingyun outside Wenxian City, so many years had passed.

This grudge had finally been avenged!

To the side, the Cangzhou cultivator heard this and nodded, "That Abyss is filled with all sorts of incomplete Ancient Arrays and powerful Flame Spirits; entering it means certain death, he is finished."

Cao Tian nodded along.

He had witnessed the terror of that Abyss; even for him, falling into it would surely mean ten deaths and no life.

This mission could be considered completed.

Kill Wan Guiyuan, slay Ye Lingyun.

For him, this trip could be considered a Consummation.

The only drawback was that the casualties of the squad were a bit too severe.

However, the leader of the Elite Squad was Wan Guiyuan; if others died in battle, the responsibility should be traced back to Wan Guiyuan.

What did it have to do with him?
