Chapter 301: Long Yuan Reappears

Pfft...

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

Elder Jingxin spat out several mouthfuls of blood in one breath.

Her face was pale, and her sea of consciousness had suffered extremely heavy injuries.

Lying on

At the very bottom of the necklace was a piece of white jade.

Now, the jade was already covered in countless cracks.

This was no ordinary jade; it was actually a magic treasure capable of defending against spiritual sense attacks. Although its tier was not high, because she had worn it on her person for years and nurtured it with her sea of consciousness and soul intent, its defensive power was naturally not weak.

"Damn it!" Jingxin's head felt like it was splitting: "If it weren't for this jade plaque, I fear my sea of consciousness would have collapsed today!"

"Who is it?"

"Who on earth is attacking me?"

She did not think it was He Pingsheng who was attacking.

After all, in her understanding, He Pingsheng was merely at the eleventh layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage and could not possibly possess such powerful spiritual sense.

It must be some senior expert who saw me bullying a low-tier disciple and decided to teach me a lesson in passing.

Damn it!

I was careless.

Jingxin dragged her heavy body and hurried back to her room.

Then, layer after layer of restrictions and arrays were activated by her.

Spirit-Sealing Array, Defensive Array.

Only after opening them layer by layer did she feel at ease.

However, with her sea of consciousness now on the verge of collapse, she could not do anything else; she could only sit cross-legged on the ground and begin to repair her spiritual sense.

Of course, after He Pingsheng had just used the divine ability 【Wuxiang Beidou Ding】, his own soul power was almost completely exhausted, and it was impossible for him to launch a second spiritual sense attack in the short term.

He could only watch helplessly as Jingxin, that wretch, hid away.

He Pingsheng hurriedly found a corner in the plaza to sit down and secretly took out a top-tier third-tier elixir, the 【Soul-Returning Pill】, and swallowed it.

He remained motionless, recovering his spiritual sense.

It took about half an hour for his spiritual sense to fully recover.

After his spiritual sense recovered, He Pingsheng could no longer see Jingxin.

At this very moment, Jingxin was hiding within the array, and he could not use spiritual sense attacks.

Just wait!

There would always be a time for revenge in the future.

He Pingsheng took a deep breath, stopped thinking about what had just happened, and frowned: What is going on with the top-tier Dual Spirit Pill?

In the past, it could expand spiritual sense by ten times.

Why was it only about four times this time?

He Pingsheng could not find a reason, but he knew that this 【Dual Spirit Pill】 was a second-tier elixir, and although it was top-tier, its medicinal power had limits.

I fear that this twenty-thousand-zhang spiritual sense is the limit of the Dual Spirit Pill.

"That must be it!"

He Pingsheng ultimately attributed the cause to the tier of the Dual Spirit Pill.

Whew...

Seeing that Jingxin dared not come out, He Pingsheng felt relieved. He now possessed a twenty-thousand-zhang spiritual sense, which had even stronger defensive power, so he would not need to worry about being ambushed by spiritual sense within the next fifteen days.

He Pingsheng stood up, intending to go to the place where he had just seen the stall to buy a map.

However, before he could even take a step, he suddenly saw someone.

A cultivator with graying temples.

Damn...

Upon seeing this person, He Pingsheng was nearly scared out of his wits.

Why is it him?

Long Yuan?

But... it doesn't matter!

Although Jingxin could recognize He Pingsheng's current appearance, and even all the cultivators in Red Stone City could recognize him, Long Yuan did not know him.

Because this appearance was not his true face either.

Wait...

He Pingsheng had just let out a sigh of relief, but the next moment he became alert: No, although Long Yuan doesn't recognize me now, as long as he asks around and questions those who have seen me, he will surely be able to identify me.

What to do?

He Pingsheng sat down slowly.

He retracted his spiritual sense, daring only to look at Long Yuan out of the corner of his eye.

However, something that shocked He Pingsheng happened.

Long Yuan stood in the plaza, then turned around and actually looked straight at him.

Moreover, there was a trace of a smile on the corner of Long Yuan's mouth.

Clearly, he had already recognized him.

He Pingsheng's brows locked tightly.

Damn it... why am I so unlucky today?

Long Yuan, that wretch, traveled ten thousand miles to this Xishu Commandery of the Liang Guo; it couldn't be for any other reason.

It must be to capture me.

One only needs to think about it to know that this wretch must have identified him from the shadows long ago; otherwise, he wouldn't have run out so brazenly to be recognized by He Pingsheng.

What to do?

Running away is just asking for death.

At this moment, He Pingsheng's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts.

However, just at this moment, Long Yuan actually walked toward He Pingsheng step by step with his hands behind his back.

No!

I must not let him walk over.

Otherwise, this wretch could kill me with a single slap.

"Take this..."

He Pingsheng decided to go all out, and adhering to the philosophy that the best defense is a good offense, he instantly unleashed that spiritual sense divine ability again: Wuxiang Beidou Ding.

Seven invisible spiritual sense nails pierced fiercely toward Long Yuan's sea of consciousness.

Long Yuan was not a cultivator at the first layer of the Nascent Soul Stage like Jingxin; his cultivation was much higher than Jingxin's.

Of course, his spiritual sense was also much more powerful than Jingxin's.

Long Yuan's spiritual sense extended for a full thirty thousand zhang, which was much more powerful than He Pingsheng's even after taking the top-tier 【Dual Spirit Pill】.

However, he did not possess the treasure that Jingxin had to defend against spiritual sense attacks.

So, in the end, the effect of He Pingsheng's spiritual sense attack was surprisingly similar.

Long Yuan's sea of consciousness did not collapse, but it was stirred up by seventy or eighty percent.

He spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood and sat down on the ground with a thud.

At this moment, if He Pingsheng could follow up with the 【Wuxiang Beidou Ding】 divine ability again, Long Yuan would surely die.

Unfortunately, He Pingsheng had used his full strength in that last spiritual sense strike, and at this moment, he could no longer launch a second attack.

"Master... what is wrong with you?"

The woman in red, Hong Lian, ran over from behind and supported her master, Long Yuan.

Long Yuan narrowed his eyes, and while wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he said: "Go... this brat likely has a protector behind him!"

Although he felt very clearly that the spiritual sense attack came from He Pingsheng's direction, he felt it absolutely could not be He Pingsheng.

In his view, this was someone protecting He Pingsheng from the shadows.

"Hurry, go!" Long Yuan said anxiously: "Leave with me first, we'll talk later..."

Hum hum...

Long Yuan grabbed Hong Lian's hand and teleported directly away from the plaza, hiding in the deep mountains nearby.

"Master..." A quarter of an hour later, in a certain cave, Hong Lian asked: "How long will it take for you to recover your spiritual sense?"

Long Yuan said: "The tier of the elixir I have here to repair spiritual sense is too low; to repair my spiritual sense, it will take at least two months, perhaps even longer!"

"Don't worry about me for now!"

"Go to the plaza, monitor that He Pingsheng, don't let him run away, and don't act rashly, because there is someone protecting him nearby; just keep an eye on him!"

"Also, if the Mystic Realm opens, you follow and go in with them; if you want to kill him, it can only be done inside the Mystic Realm!"
