Chapter 2389

All along the way, one could say he was extremely cautious; anyway, Tianxing Lao Ren felt he had left no trace at all.

But even so, that little beast still found him, leaving Tianxing Lao Ren somewhat lacking confidence.

He suspected that, without his knowledge, that little beast might have slapped some kind of tracking talisman on him.

Although given that little beast's cultivation it seemed unlikely, Tianxing Lao Ren still carefully examined his body.

He found nothing abnormal, yet why could that little beast find him? It shouldn't be.

Not only Tianxing Lao Ren, but at this moment, Tie Dan opposite him was also filled with shock, his heart astonished.

"Found him again?"

He also didn't expect to run into Tianxing Lao Ren again; he was just leading the way randomly.

After the previous battle in the mountain hollow let Tianxing Lao Ren escape, this Elder of Qianhu Sect naturally was unwilling to give up.

He had captured those few bandit cultivators, but to him it was utterly useless; after questioning them and finding no useful value, he immediately slaughtered them all.

What he wanted was not those bandit cultivators, but that batch of dry rations.

So, after returning to the immortal vessel, this Elder again had Tie Dan use the Mìfǎ to track Tianxing Lao Ren's whereabouts.

Tie Dan, naturally, was extremely unwilling, but there was no way; this Elder gave him no chance to refuse.

He could only comply.

"Reply, Elder, this kid's tracking technique needs some recovery time; if used continuously, its accuracy will keep dropping."

"No problem, just go ahead and use it; a rough range is enough."

As for this, the Steward waved his hand indifferently, letting Tie Dan use it without worry.

This left Tie Dan feeling helpless, but he could only repeat the old trick.

Afterwards, he led the Qianhu Sect group, began giving random directions, hoping to eventually have an excuse that the Mìfǎ had failed.

Tie Dan had already planned everything, but who would have thought they'd run into Tianxing Lao Ren here.

They could actually meet? Tie Dan's scalp went numb at the moment.

The two just stared at each other, eyes wide, while this Elder of Qianhu Sect was delighted.

"Haha, old thing, I have your son in hand; you think you can still escape?"

He had been glaring hatefully at Tie Dan, but upon hearing the Qianhu Sect Elder's words, Tianxing Lao Ren immediately turned and shouted angrily.

"Bullshit, he's not my son."

"Is this guy brain‑damaged? It's so obvious; don't you see there's something wrong here?"

But Tianxing Lao Ren's denial was completely useless before this Qianhu Sect Elder.

After finding Tianxing Lao Ren's whereabouts twice in a row, you still say you're not father and son?

If you're not father and son, how could you hit the mark every time? It's simply absurd.

At this moment, the Qianhu Sect Elder had no doubt whatsoever about Tie Dan's identity; he utterly believed it.

Seeing the two still chatting, Tie Dan, noticing Tianxing Lao Ren about to speak again, hurriedly spoke up to interrupt.

You'd better not talk; if you keep chatting and something goes wrong, whose fault will it be?

"Dad, just listen to your son for once; hand over those dry rations obediently—wouldn't it be nice for us father and son to eat well and drink heartily?"

"You little beast, shut up; I'm not your father."

"Dad, you're obstinate and unenlightened."

"Get lost."

Tie Dan didn't dare give Tianxing Lao Ren a chance to speak, but the more he did so, the more Tianxing Lao Ren became uncontrollably angry.

Meanwhile, the Qianhu Sect Elder beside him, seeing Tianxing Lao Ren still unwilling to hand over the dry rations, also spoke in an annoyed tone.

"Hmph, obstinate and ignorant; seize them all for me."

As his words fell, Xú Shīxiōng and the others who had followed this Elder, without another word, immediately leapt up and engaged the remaining three bandit cultivators in battle.

As for Tianxing Lao Ren, although he is also a loose cultivator, he has attained the Immortal Venerable realm; these disciples cannot handle him, so it must be left to the Elder to act personally.

The Qianhu Sect Elder obviously knew this as well, and this time he did not dare to be overconfident again.

He struck first, immediately engaging Tianxing Lao Ren in fierce combat.

As for Tie Dan, he didn't even have the qualifications to step onto the stage; he could only hide far off to the side.

"Damn it."

Clashing again with the Qianhu Sect Elder in fierce combat, Tianxing Lao Ren cursed furiously in his heart.

He wasn't a match before; now, with his wounds unhealed and his situation worse, he naturally was even less of a match.

In just a couple of moves, Tianxing Lao Ren was completely suppressed.

"Heh, this time I see where you can run."

Victory in his grasp, the Qianhu Sect Elder laughed confidently.

Last time he let Tianxing Lao Ren escape using the Mìfǎ; this time he doesn't believe this old thing still has any tricks.

Do you really think the Mìfǎ can be used without limit?

From this old thing's aura, the Qianhu Sect Elder has eighty percent confidence that the side effects of his Mìfǎ have not yet passed.

Under these circumstances, if he forcibly uses the Mìfǎ again—leaving aside whether it would succeed—even if it did, adding insult to injury, this old thing wouldn't have long to live; it would be pure suicide.

However, upon hearing this, Tianxing Lao Ren's eyes flashed with a hint of resolve, and he spoke coldly.

"How do you know I have no other means?"

Huh???

Upon hearing that, before the Qianhu Sect Elder could even react, Tianxing Lao Ren produced a golden-yellow Talisman Seal.

On the Talisman Seal were densely packed, extremely complex runes.

At a glance, the Qianhu Sect Elder's eyes widened, and he almost instinctively blurted out.

"Immortal-grade Great Displacement Talisman."

"This thing is not cheap; it's extremely expensive. In the Immortal Realm, it is an excellent life-saving item."

"Even such a treasure, even he, an Elder of the Immortal Sect, doesn't have one now."

"He had previously been fortunate enough to obtain one, but it was used up."

"This old loose cultivator, where did he get an Immortal-grade Great Displacement Talisman?"

"You should know, this thing basically isn't circulated on the market; a Talisman King Immortal City refines one, and those are already pre-booked."

"The Qianhu Sect Elder was shocked in his heart, but Tianxing Lao Ren still felt a pang of pain."

"This is his last lifesaving talisman hidden away; he has been reluctant to use it, keeping it on his person for over a hundred years."

"I never expected it to be used here today; to obtain this Immortal-grade Great Displacement Talisman, he has paid a considerable price."

"Forget it, forget it; life is the most important."

"Immediately, Tianxing Lao Ren gritted his teeth, directly activated the Talisman Seal, then looked with hatred at the Qianhu Sect Elder and Tie Dan, and said through gritted teeth."

"I will remember today's affair; you wait for me, and you little beast, I will surely kill you in this lifetime."

"Stand still."

"The Qianhu Sect Elder roared in anger, while Tianxing Lao Ren, seeing this, gave a cold snort."

"Stand still? Who do you think you are? If you have the ability, keep me here, you sect old dog."
