Chapter 622

Having just fought with the other party, Song Yuanli also discovered that this person had also practiced body-refining techniques, and his physical defense ability far exceeded that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even if he still had some trump cards, Song Yuanli did not have enough confidence to repel the other party in a short time.

If only the black-clothed cultivator was chasing him, Song Yuanli would definitely have the confidence to turn back and fight him.

But judging from the situation he knew when he fled from the battlefield just now, there were reinforcements coming from the "Heaven-Sea Alliance" side, and it was very likely that they were already on the way to chase him. If he was entangled by this person here, he would probably fall into an even greater crisis.

For the current plan, he could only try his best to flee towards the direction of several markets behind the Lu Kingdom in the north, hoping that he would encounter his own people to support him ahead, or that the other party would not dare to chase too deep.

However, the reinforcements Song Yuanli was looking forward to had not yet appeared, and the "Heaven-Sea Alliance" Foundation Establishment late-stage big man who was chasing him had already chased behind him. Soon, he manipulated a copper hammer magic tool to smash towards Song Yuanli's position head-on.

Seeing this, Song Yuanli could only dodge the other party's attack sideways, then quickly took out a silver long-knife magic tool from his body and urged it to slash towards his opponent.

The silver long-knife in Song Yuanli's hand was the magic tool "Black Silver Knife" that Song Qingming had used when he was still in the Foundation Establishment stage.

When Song Qingming obtained this magic tool from the bandit cultivators of Eagle Nest Ridge back then, this knife was only a second-grade mid-tier magic tool. Later, after Long Feng helped add silver sand stone and re-forged it, its quality was improved to second-grade top-quality.

Later, after Song Qingming achieved Core Formation, he naturally did not need these second-grade magic tools for more powerful magic treasures. This knife was placed by him in the clan's Golden Treasury Pavilion to reward clan juniors, and later it was exchanged by Song Yuanli with clan merit points.

Because the magic tool was mixed with silver sand stone, the power of the "Black Silver Knife" still belonged to the relatively powerful one among second-grade top-quality magic tools.

When the "Heaven-Sea Alliance" big man saw this magic tool in Song Yuanli's hand, he had already seen its power, so he did not dare to be careless in his heart. He quickly set up a jade bead magic tool on his body and released a protective shield to block Song Yuanli's attack.

Seeing the other party's passive defense, Song Yuanli did not want to bother with him, took back the "Black Silver Knife" not far away, and directly abandoned the other party to continue fleeing forward.

However, this "Heaven-Sea Alliance" black-clothed big man was also prepared. He directly took out a cyan jade bottle, quickly cast a spell to urge it, and soon a green vine shot out from the jade bottle, flew up directly, and entangled one of Song Yuanli's right feet, making his figure, which had just fled not far away, stop in mid-air again.

Just after being trapped by the other party, a ball of flame immediately appeared on Song Yuanli's body. Immediately after, five or six red fire knives flew out from the flames. After a few shuttles beside his feet, they soon cut off the vines entangled on his feet.

However, just after Song Yuanli escaped, he found that the spiritual light above the cyan jade bottle in front of the black-clothed big man vibrated, and three more vines quickly rolled over from the spiritual talisman towards his front, directly blocking Song Yuanli's front.

Seeing this, Song Yuanli was also not polite and displayed his cultivation technique "Red Flame Art" that he had practiced for many years, wanting to use the fire knives formed by flames to directly cut off these vines blocking his body.

However, the growth speed of these green vines was really too fast. After being cut off by Song Yuanli, they did not become fewer but had already gathered into a cage in mid-air in front of him, wanting to lock him inside.

By this time, Song Yuanli also knew that his path ahead had been blocked. The purpose of this black-clothed big man was to entangle him here and wait for the people coming to support from behind.

After thinking slightly about his situation, Song Yuanli was not too panicked. He directly turned his direction to break out of the encirclement of the vines below, and then directly leaned towards a high mountain nearby and moved quickly.

"Still want to run!"

The "Heaven-Sea Alliance" black-clothed big man behind saw this scene and showed a slight smile. After putting away the jade bottle magic tool in his hand, he took out his gourd flying magic tool and immediately chased up quickly.

Halfway through, the black-clothed big man was also not idle. He kept releasing magic tools and some high-tier magic techniques he had practiced in his hands, constantly harassing Song Yuanli, wanting to slow down his escape speed.

The two chased and fled, and after fighting for dozens of rounds, they soon bypassed the high mountain and arrived at a canyon behind the mountain.

Having flown to the end of the canyon, the top of his head was blocked by the vines released by the black-clothed big man's spell, and Song Yuanli took out the "Black Silver Knife" and tried his best to kill his way out of the canyon from one side, but he was blocked by the other party halfway several times.

After fighting with the other party for a while, Song Yuanli's forehead was already covered with a few beads of sweat. After fighting with the other party several times along the way, plus rushing for more than a hundred miles desperately in one breath, the magic power in Song Yuanli's body was also not much left.

Seeing that Song Yuanli had been blocked by himself in the canyon, the black-clothed big man was also a bit proud and smiled lightly: "Kid! The Lingyin Sect is about to be defeated by us, and the Lu Kingdom is already in the pocket of the Heaven-Sea Alliance. Why do you still have to sacrifice your life for this?"

"I see your skills are not bad. Why don't you consider turning your back on the enemy and surrendering with gifts? How about defecting to our Heaven-Sea Alliance?"

"Our Heaven-Sea Alliance has more than one sect, and we never discriminate against foreign cultivators. As long as you are willing to join, with your talent, you might be able to wait for the support of the sect's elders in the future. Achieving Core Formation will be very promising. It's better than falling here now."

Song Yuanli, facing the persuasion of the black-clothed big man, was not moved at all in his heart. He just glared at the other party angrily, then took out a second-grade top-quality spiritual talisman that Song Qingming had given him before, looked at the other party with firm eyes, and injected his magic power into it.

"Second-grade top-quality spiritual talisman, you kid still hide such a powerful thing on your body!"

Seeing the spiritual talisman in Song Yuanli's hand, the "Heaven-Sea Alliance" black-clothed big man was slightly surprised, but he was not too nervous. He directly moved his arms and quickly cast a spell to release a second-grade defensive spiritual talisman, directly protecting himself in front of him.

The spiritual talisman in Song Yuanli's hand just lit up, immediately turned into a huge ball of fire the size of a zhang, flew directly towards the other party, and hit a defensive shield in front of the black-clothed big man in a moment.

After a violent fluctuation of spiritual power, the black-clothed big man was directly hit by the huge fireball and flew backward, hitting a mountain wall on one side behind him, raising a burst of fire and smoke.

However, not long after, the black-clothed big man who had just been repelled walked out of the smoke again. At this moment, although the clothes on his body were damaged everywhere, there were only slight bloodstains on the corners of his mouth, and there were not many injuries.

After taking this blow from Song Qingming, the part of the black-clothed big man's flesh exposed at this moment was tightly wrapped in a layer of silver light, as if he had put on another suit of silver armor.

Just after walking out of the smoke, the "Heaven-Sea Alliance" black-clothed big man raised his eyes and saw that Song Yuanli below had broken through the obstruction of the vines he had arranged in mid-air and was preparing to flee out of the canyon from above.

Seeing this, the black-clothed big man did not hesitate, kicked his feet hard on the ground, and his whole body turned into a spiritual light like a gust of wind, quickly chasing towards Song Yuanli's position in the high sky.

Just when Song Yuanli was about to fly out of the canyon, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed on one side of the canyon. A moment later, a gray cloud appeared out of thin air not far away and swept quickly towards the place where Song Yuanli was located.

Seeing this, Song Yuanli and the black-clothed big man who was still below were both stunned, and their eyes looking at the gray cloud appeared a trace of confusion. Obviously, both of them did not know the origin of this strange cloud that appeared suddenly.

Before Song Yuanli could react, the gray cloud rolled him up and fell from the top of the canyon again, and the black-clothed big man who had just chased up also fell from mid-air together.

The two had just landed on the ground when the gray cloud, which was still surging just now, had already arrived not far in front of them. Immediately after, a green-robed figure wearing a mask slowly walked out of the cloud.

"Jin Dan cultivator!"

Seeing this green-robed person appear, Song Yuanli and the "Heaven-Sea Alliance" black-clothed big man standing not far away were both shocked, and for a time, a few traces of panic appeared on their faces.

The green-robed masked person first scanned the black-clothed big man, and then asked him: "Are you a disciple of Luofeng Valley?"

Hearing the green-robed person's question, the black-clothed big man was slightly stunned, then immediately nodded and replied respectfully: "Senior is right, I am indeed a disciple of Luofeng Valley."

"It's really unexpected that Senior could see my identity at a glance. Now that Luofeng Valley has officially joined the Heaven-Sea Alliance, there are very few cultivators who directly call us disciples of Luofeng Valley."

"Hmm! Counting the time, Luofeng Valley has joined the Heaven-Sea Alliance for hundreds of years. Indeed, very few people outside remember the sect of Luofeng Valley. It's really fast for just a few hundred years."

"Kid, I'll ask you one more question. Qiu Daoping should still be alive, right? Did he also come to the Lu Kingdom this time?" The green-robed person thought for a moment and then asked the black-clothed big man.

"This..."

"Why! Are you unwilling to answer, or do you not know about this?"

The black-clothed big man of the Heaven-Sea Alliance saw that the green-robed person seemed a bit unhappy, so he immediately nodded slightly:

"Reporting to Senior, I did hear before that the Supreme Ancestor had already come out of seclusion a few years ago. However, he is a Nascent Soul cultivator. Whether he came to the front line of the Lu Kingdom, I, a Foundation Establishment disciple, really do not know."

"Senior knows our sect's ancestor, but what origin does he have with my Luofeng Valley?"

Just hearing this Jin Dan cultivator dare to call his own Nascent Soul ancestor's name directly, the black-clothed big man was also very surprised.

It was just that he did not know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so the black-clothed big man did not dare to say much for a while, so he chose to answer the other party's question honestly, and then tentatively asked the other party.

After hearing the black-clothed big man's answer, the green-robed person sighed slightly: "You are right, there is indeed some origin. However, these have nothing to do with you, so you don't need to know!"

"Uh! Since it has nothing to do with me, if Senior has no other instructions, then I will take my leave and not disturb Senior here."

Feeling that there seemed to be no kindness in the green-robed person's tone, the black-clothed big man did not dare to stay here for long. After bowing to him, seeing that the other party did not speak, he flew away to leave the canyon.

Just when the black-clothed big man was about to fly out of the canyon, thinking that he had escaped a disaster, the green-robed person standing in place raised his right hand slightly, gathered a spiritual light, and the next moment his whole body suddenly disappeared in place.

A moment later, a thunderbolt sounded in the high sky. After a few screams, the somewhat charred body of the black-clothed big man fell from the sky and landed directly in front of Song Yuanli, who had just wanted to move his figure to escape from here.

"Humph! I haven't said I would let you go, but you want to run directly. Young people nowadays are really getting less and less disciplined!"

Looking at the green-robed person who instantly killed a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator and was walking slowly towards him, Song Yuanli stood in place and did not dare to move at all, and his forehead was already covered with a trace of fine sweat.

Although this mysterious green-robed person took action to kill that "Heaven-Sea Alliance" black-clothed person and helped him solve a great enemy, this does not mean that the green-robed person's position is on his side.

And just listening to the other party's tone, it was obviously still somewhat related to the "Heaven-Sea Alliance" side, and it was very likely that he was a cultivator from that cultivation world, which was not good news for him.

After looking at Song Yuanli, who was a bit nervous, the green-robed person's gaze slowly moved to the "Black Silver Knife" in front of him, and he asked calmly: "Kid, you also tell me your origin. If I am in a good mood, I might let you leave here!"

"Junior Song Yuanli is a clan cultivator from Mount Funiu, Qinghe County, under the Xiaoyao Sect of the Wei Kingdom. I only came to the Lu Kingdom a year ago after being conscripted by the sect!"

Having seen the green-robed person's appearance of turning his face when he said so, Song Yuanli also knew that the other party was a person with a strange temper, so he did not dare to hide too much and said all his identity in one go.

Facing such a Jin Dan old monster with strong cultivation and strength who had lived for hundreds of years, Song Yuanli did not have much confidence in his heart. He definitely could not escape. The corpse of the black-clothed big man in front of him had already told him the result of fleeing rashly.

Song Yuanli could only pin his hope that this old guy appeared here for the black-clothed big man and had nothing to do with him. Honestly cooperating with the other party might be able to save his life.

After hearing Song Yuanli's answer, the green-robed person nodded and smiled: "Xiaoyao Sect, Qinghe County, it's really a coincidence. I have also been there. For the sake of your honesty, as long as you answer me one question, I will let you leave here."

"Please give me your guidance, Senior! Junior definitely dare not intentionally hide anything." Song Yuanli heard this and hurriedly bowed to the green-robed person, his face did not change much.

"Hmm! I still like this attitude. I ask you, how is the front line between the Lingyin Sect and the Heaven-Sea Alliance fighting now? Tell me everything you know."

"In the past year, the front-line battlefield has been relatively calm..."

Song Yuanli talked for a while about the things he knew happened on the battlefield recently. During this time, the green-robed person did not speak until he talked about the battle he just encountered being chased by the Heaven-Sea Alliance cultivator, and the green-robed person interrupted him.

"Are you sure the Yuxiao Sect has rebelled and the Heaven-Sea Alliance people have bypassed from Zipeng Mountain?"

"Senior, Junior also learned the news from Fellow Daoist Wang of the Lingyin Sect I met before. I haven't had time to verify this matter, so I dare not confirm whether it is true or false now."

"However, when this person was chasing me just now, he also mentioned that the Fenggu Plain front line was about to be defeated. Junior feels that the Yuxiao Sect rebellion should be seventy or eighty percent true!" Song Yuanli responded carefully.

"The Lingyin Sect really can't stop them. Fortunately, I came back in time!"

After the green-robed person sighed, he continued to ask Song Yuanli: "You just said you are a cultivator from Mount Funiu in the Wei Kingdom. Who are the Jin Dan cultivators who came to support here from your Wei Kingdom this time? Is your Song family ancestor here!"

"We came with Senior Chen Xuanxin of the Xiaoyao Sect this time. There is also a sect Jin Dan Elder, Senior Lu Boyang, on the front line. The ancestor did not come to the Lu Kingdom."

Hearing the other party mention his own ancestor, Song Yuanli did not dare to say much. This green-robed person did not even care about the Nascent Soul ancestor in the mouth of the "Heaven-Sea Alliance" black-clothed cultivator just now, let alone his own Jin Dan clan leader.

Just when the two were talking, two sword lights flew over the canyon again. After circling above, they fell quickly towards the position where Song Yuanli and the other were.

Song Yuanli looked and found that it was two "Heaven-Sea Alliance" cultivators who chased over again. His face changed, and he looked at the green-robed person on the side.

"Senior! There is..."

Just as Song Yuanli opened his mouth, the green-robed person in front of him suddenly flashed and disappeared in place, flying directly towards the position of the two sword lights.

The two "Heaven-Sea Alliance" Foundation Establishment cultivators who chased along the tracks of Song Yuanli and the black-clothed big man just entered the canyon when a green-robed figure suddenly flashed in mid-air, which instantly startled the two of them.

"Not good! It's a Jin Dan cultivator, run!"

Feeling the powerful aura emitted from the green-robed person, the two immediately fled separately. One of them also took out a sound-transmission spiritual talisman from his body and cast a spell to send it out.

However, the next moment, the green-robed person had already flown quickly to the front of the spiritual talisman, and in the shocked eyes of the two, grabbed the sound-transmission talisman and crushed it into powder.

Immediately after, before they could react, the green-robed person had already arrived behind one of the elderly men, released a thunderbolt in his hand, and after the electric light flashed, the somewhat charred body of the elderly man fell straight from mid-air.

The next moment, there was another scream. Another Foundation Establishment cultivator who had run out of a few hundred zhang was also powerless to resist, and was killed in mid-air by the thunderbolt displayed by the green-robed person in just one round.

The green-robed person took the storage bags from the two people, released two fireballs, and directly burned the two corpses into ashes before turning back to the canyon.

Seeing Song Yuanli, who was still in place and did not dare to flee, the green-robed person nodded with satisfaction and said directly to him: "I can let you leave here, but how to explain this to others after going back, I don't think I need to remind you, right!"

"Senior, please rest assured! Junior understands. Today, I encountered danger and escaped by my own ability. I have never seen Senior."

"Humph! It's good that you understand."

The green-robed person smiled lightly, and his gaze turned to the corpse of the black-clothed big man lying on the side. Just as he wanted to destroy the corpse and erase the traces, Song Yuanli suddenly bowed to him again and said: "Senior, Junior has a small request."

"What is it, tell me!"

"For fear that someone in the law enforcement team will ask about this after going back, I want to take his head back together. In this way, no one should question whether I escaped back by myself. Please Senior fulfill Junior's request."

Song Yuanli said this because when they fled separately before, Li Chengyue and the others also saw this black-clothed big man going to track him.

If there was no head to prove it, for fear that someone on the battlefield would secretly defect to the enemy at a life-and-death juncture, the Lingyin Sect might send people to inquire and investigate carefully afterwards for cultivators like Song Yuanli who escaped alone from the enemy's pursuit.

Once encountering the inquiry of the law enforcement team, whether he could keep the secret of this green-robed person, it would be hard to say at that time. Therefore, Song Yuanli boldly asked the green-robed person for the head of the black-clothed big man.

"Hmm! What you said also makes some sense. Then you can take this storage bag back together!" The green-robed person thought for a moment, agreed to his request, and then threw a khaki storage bag to Song Yuanli.

"Junior thanks Senior!"

Seeing the storage bag of the black-clothed big man in his hand, Song Yuanli was happy in his heart, thanked the green-robed person, stepped forward, took out his flying sword, and cut off the head of the black-clothed big man on the ground.

After putting away the head of the black-clothed big man and the storage bag, Song Yuanli turned around and bowed heavily to the green-robed person again.

"Senior's great kindness, Junior will never forget. Please accept another bow from Junior!"

"Alright! Hurry up and leave. Don't do these empty rituals in front of me, otherwise, if I change my mind later, you will regret it too late."

After hearing the impatient urging of the other party, Song Yuanli hurriedly nodded, summoned the flying boat on his body, and flew away from the canyon quickly.

"These people surnamed Song, why are they all like this? Looking honest, but their minds are not less at all."

After Song Yuanli disappeared from his eyes, the green-robed person said to himself, turned around, burned the black-clothed big man on the ground with a fire, and soon left the canyon.

A few months later, on the top of Mount Tuoyun, tens of thousands of miles away, Song Qingming, who was patiently drawing a third-grade low-quality spiritual talisman, suddenly had a tremor in the spiritual pen controlled by magic power in his hand, and the spiritual talisman, which had been drawn for more than half, suddenly burst into a burst of fire.

"Wasted another piece of talisman-making material, it seems that the heat is still a bit lacking!"

Looking at the spiritual talisman that had turned into ashes in a moment in front of him, Song Qingming shook his head helplessly and put away the talisman pen in his hand. (End of chapter)
