Chapter 577: Tracking

The spiritual talisman Song Qingming used was named "Soul-Locking Talisman," which had the effect of sealing and refining a cultivator's divine soul and primordial spirit. It was a third-tier low-grade spiritual talisman that Lin Yutang of Tuoyun Mountain had voluntarily offered to him more than ten years ago.

This kind of auxiliary high-tier spiritual talisman specifically for dealing with a cultivator's divine soul and primordial spirit, because its functional use was relatively single, its practical value was far inferior to other spiritual talismans of the same tier. Very few third-tier talisman masters would waste materials and time to specifically refine this type of spiritual talisman, so it was rarely seen on the market.

Song Qingming had formed his Jin Dan for so many years, and he had only obtained this one by accident. He didn't expect it to really be of some use to him today, cooperating with the "Five-Elements Divine Light Mirror" to destroy Du Yucheng's primordial spirit on the spot.

Fortunately, when he went to encounter the demonic cultivator attack with Zhao Fenglian and the others in the second layer earlier, he didn't rashly use this spiritual talisman. Otherwise, if Du Yucheng's primordial spirit had escaped today, it might have left behind no small hidden danger in the future.

Toward a person like Du Yucheng who had a flexible brain and could endure and act without bottom line, Song Qingming had an instinctive sense of crisis toward him in his heart.

Especially after this kid switched to the demonic path, he could actually advance to the Jin Dan realm so quickly, which showed he indeed had a bit of talent. Even if he didn't have a hundred percent certainty of beheading the other party just now, Song Qingming would still try his best to try to eliminate this hidden danger in advance.

However, what made Song Qingming somewhat surprised was that Du Yucheng's fighting divine abilities after falling into the trap were not as difficult to deal with as he had imagined at the beginning. Under the situation where Song Qingming used all his trump cards and also used two third-tier spiritual talismans, he successfully beheaded this demonic cultivator who made him feel somewhat disgusted in only a few dozen rounds.

Of course, Song Qingming didn't know that Du Yucheng had actually been injured by someone in the hall before meeting him, and also damaged the best defensive magic treasure on his body, making his fighting ability weaken quite a bit when facing Song Qingming later. Otherwise, even if Song Qingming could behead the other party, he wouldn't have won so quickly.

"Fellow Daoist Du, you should have fallen and been reincarnated a hundred years ago. Why did you have to fall into the demonic path and be controlled by others, ending up with your soul flying away and spirit scattering in the end?" Looking at the "Soul-Locking Talisman" that had gradually turned into fly ash in his hand, Song Qingming sighed slightly, put on his mask again, and picked up the small wooden box on the ground.

Because there were still quite a few restrictions remaining on this wooden box, it couldn't be directly put into his storage magic tool. Song Qingming could only tie it to his waist first and wait until he arrived at a safe place to find a way to open it and take a look.

Knowing that something seemed to have happened to Du Yucheng, Ma Wuchen naturally had no heart to continue entangling with the two opponents opposite him. He immediately spat out a powerful black mist, forced them back, and abandoned them to chase over directly.

"What a piece of trash, can't even handle this little thing!" After seeing Du Yucheng's corpse beside the teleportation formation, Ma Wuchen was also immediately furious, with ferocious eyes and jumping with rage.

After cursing at Du Yucheng's corpse, seeing that the two who had already chased over, Ma Wuchen didn't care about him anymore and immediately drilled into the teleportation formation.

Seeing that mass of black light slowly fly over his head, Song Qingming was about to breathe a sigh of relief when unexpectedly, the black light suddenly turned direction and headed straight toward the position where Song Qingming was hiding below, and its speed also accelerated quite a bit all of a sudden.

Just when Song Qingming wanted to step forward to check Du Yucheng's corpse and search for the storage bag on his body, the "Golden Illusion Butterfly" left in the distance suddenly sent news that someone was already rushing toward his side rapidly.

After Song Qingming escaped for a distance, he found an empty space with no one and landed directly.

Just when Du Yucheng died, Ma Wuchen, who had planted restrictions on his body, immediately sensed that the restriction on Du Yucheng's body had suddenly disappeared.

"Huo Feng and Long Feng haven't come out yet. It seems I can only wait here first!" After taking out a colorful feather on his body to look at it, Song Qingming took out a few formation flags, wanting to lay out a concealment formation on the spot.

Just after Du Yucheng escaped from the hall, Ma Wuchen originally thought that as long as he dragged those two for a while to give Du Yucheng more time to leave this place, this thing would be considered theirs.

Seeing this, Song Qingming's expression changed. He hurriedly picked up the storage bag at Du Yucheng's waist, put away the formation flags laid out around, and subsequently drilled directly into the white formation in front of him.

Although he had already escaped from the "Heaven-Reaching Pavilion," because there was no direct teleportation passage between the ninth layer and the eighth layer, Song Qingming alone had no ability to break through space to leave this place, so he could only wait here for Huo Feng and the others to come out first.

Just when he was still laying out the formation, a mass of black light suddenly appeared in the sky and flew toward his direction. Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately put away the formation flags in his hand and stepped directly onto the "Phantom Boat," hiding his figure with the illusion ability of this spiritual boat.

Song Qingming's figure had just disappeared for not long when a burst of spiritual light emerged in mid-air. It was precisely Ma Wuchen, the red-faced man with a look of surprise and anger on his face.

He didn't expect that in just such a short while, Du Yucheng not only lost his life but even the treasure they had spent so much effort to snatch from the hall was cheapened by others.

A moment later, a flash of spiritual light appeared outside the "Heaven-Reaching Pavilion," and Song Qingming suddenly appeared in mid-air, subsequently stepped onto the "Phantom Boat," and rapidly moved away from this place.

"Damn it, I was discovered!" After seeing this sudden scene, besides being shocked, Song Qingming also revealed a look of confusion.

Wanting to see through the concealment effect of this "Phantom Boat" of his from such a far distance, unless it were a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be possible to do so.

But from the aura on the other party and the escape speed displayed, it was at most late-stage Jin Dan cultivation, far from reaching the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator. How could he have discovered his position so quickly?

The other party had already headed straight for him. Song Qingming didn't have too much time to think about this question and hurriedly revealed his figure, riding the "Phantom Boat" to choose a direction and escape directly.

Ma Wuchen, who was chasing over while driving the black light, saw Song Qingming's figure, hurriedly put away a wooden plate in his hand, and a look of joy appeared on his mouth.

"Hmph! Thought you, this yellow sparrow, were some powerful character. It turned out to be just a small third-layer Jin Dan cultivator. Let's see how far you can run." After Ma Wuchen spat out a sentence of sarcasm, the black light beside him vibrated, and the escape speed immediately accelerated quite a bit.

Ma Wuchen's cultivation had already reached the eighth layer of Jin Dan; his escape speed was naturally not something Song Qingming, an early-stage Jin Dan cultivator, could compare to. Even with the "Phantom Boat," a third-tier low-grade flying boat, Song Qingming, who was rushing with all his might, still lagged a large distance behind the other party.

"The other party being able to find me so quickly must be because there is something in Du Yucheng's storage that was tracked by this person. I shouldn't have been greedy for this little thing."

Seeing the black light behind getting closer and closer to him, Song Qingming gradually became somewhat anxious in his heart, regretting that he had taken Du Yucheng's storage bag at that time.

When chasing to a distance of forty or fifty zhang behind Song Qingming, Ma Wuchen shouted loudly, gathering two crimson blood pythons from the black light and flying rapidly toward Song Qingming ahead.

Seeing the crimson blood pythons attacking from behind, Song Qingming hurriedly adjusted the direction of the flying boat, wanting to avoid the other party's attack. However, just after avoiding one blood python, the other one flashed to his front and wrapped around the "Phantom Boat" that was still rushing rapidly.

After being entangled by this blood python, the speed of the "Phantom Boat" immediately dropped a bit. Soon, it was caught up by Ma Wuchen behind, blocked in front of Song Qingming, and intercepted him.

"Kid, daring to snatch my treasure and kill my disciple, falling into my hands today, I must let you taste the feeling of being skinned and refined in soul!" As soon as Ma Wuchen's words fell, he waved his hand, and several blood blades with powerful might flew rapidly toward Song Qingming.

Seeing this, Song Qingming could only put away the flying boat under his feet and release the "Five-Elements Divine Light Mirror" in his body to protect his front.

Just after blocking this attack from the other party, before Song Qingming could breathe a sigh of relief, the two blood pythons that had just appeared had already been controlled by Ma Wuchen and killed their way to Song Qingming's front from two different directions.

These two blood pythons circled around Song Qingming a few times, then suddenly their figures lengthened several times, like a thin red rope directly attached to the "Five-Elements Divine Light Mirror," and began to constantly shrink the space for Song Qingming to move.

Facing these two difficult blood pythons, Song Qingming could only fully drive the "Five-Elements Divine Light Mirror" in front of him, releasing the Profound Yang Qi within, and exerted force to burn the two blood pythons into a mass of red flames, only then stopping the pressure brought to him by the other party.

"Hehe! It seems you still have a bit of ability. However, falling into my hands today, you can only stop here!"

Seeing Song Qingming still struggling to resist the blood pythons, Ma Wuchen smiled lightly, and a mass of crimson blood mist appeared around his body again.

These blood mists soon gathered into a sharp blood spear in front of Ma Wuchen. After picking up this blood spear with huge power, Ma Wuchen looked at Song Qingming not far away with a cold face and drove this blood spear to shoot directly toward his side.

Although he could temporarily block the two blood pythons in front of him, Song Qingming, who was entangled, was already very difficult to avoid the blood spear that Ma Wuchen had subsequently displayed.

The power of this blood spear was completely not inferior to that third-tier mid-grade spiritual talisman that Ma Hongshan had used on him back then. It was absolutely not something Song Qingming could easily block now.

Seeing Song Qingming facing this spell attack of his and already somewhat helpless, a trace of smug smile slowly appeared on Ma Wuchen's mouth.

However, just when the blood spear was still ten zhang away from Song Qingming, a white light suddenly lit up on Song Qingming's body and soon wrapped him into it.

Immediately following this, under Ma Wuchen's stunned gaze, Song Qingming's figure disappeared just like that in the white light.

"This is, Heaven-Reaching Token!"

The active exposure of identity written yesterday seemed somewhat abrupt. Today, Xiao Meng changed it slightly. Everyone can flip back and look. Anyway, it won't affect the subsequent plot.
