Chapter 403: Escape (8)
One and a half steps illuminate the void, three condense the Dao fruit, and twenty-four golden lotuses bloom.
This is the strength of the group of secret agents from the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty who dared to catch up and arrest Lu Yi.
The ropes they threw out were dark and dull, but their surfaces were densely covered with countless runes, and there was a faint chirping sound of birds.
This is the secret treasure 'Xuanyan Soul-Locking Rope' which was twisted bit by bit from the feathers of Xuanyan swallows that had lived for at least three thousand years in the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty. It flies at an extremely fast speed. Once it touches the target's body, it immediately turns into black gas and invades the body, sealing the limbs and bones, the furnace of the five internal organs, the furnace of the acupoints, and severing the connection between the soul and the body.
Even an ordinary powerful being at the Illuminating Void Realm would become stiff for a moment if touched by this rope.
For these elite soldiers who are directly under Xuan Taiyi and specialize in assassination, espionage, and other dirty work, a moment is enough for them to cut the target into pieces or tie them up like dumplings.
Lu Yi laughed out loud.
If such an elite team were transformed into a Taoist monk, they would be a small group of the most powerful elite among his current Taoist soldiers.
It's the help that comes to your doorstep.
He had used the 'Way of Wind' in Yuanlingtian before, but he couldn't use this method in this densely populated area. He couldn't let people associate the bald man with him, Lu Yi, 'Master Fahai'.
So when Lu Yi stomped his feet, before the black ropes touched his body, a large amount of mist rose from the flat ground. The white mist as thick as milk instantly covered the area of a hundred acres.
The green snake hidden in Lu Yi's sleeve silently spewed out a breath of poison.
A faint green poisonous gas spread rapidly under the push of the water mist. The group of men in black were completely unprepared for Lu Yi's move and inhaled a trace of the poisonous gas.
Lu Yu wanted to catch them alive this time. The green snake was very spiritual, so the poison he sprayed was not a deadly poison, but a strong paralyzing poison. The men in black only felt a faint woody fragrance inhaled from their noses, and then their entire faces quickly became numb. This numbness extended all the way down along the neck, and in a blink of an eye, their entire bodies no longer had any feeling.
They wanted to mobilize their magic power, but even the magic power seemed to be bound by countless tiny vines, making it extremely slow to mobilize, and they couldn't even perform a complete escape technique.
"Thank you very much!" Lu Yi yelled at the top of his voice again: "Kaitian has come to the world to save all living beings... I will lift these poor people in black clothes out of the sea of suffering and let them enjoy endless freedom and happiness from now on."
He rubbed his hands together, and dozens of lightning bolts fell from the sky, making holes . Lu Yi laughed a few times, and the power of the Dream Bubble Pearl was activated. He created an illusion of a black lotus rising into the sky. The black lotus rushed up hundreds of feet high, and then slowly dissipated in the air.
Above Jiezhou City, a local official was floating in the air, staring blankly at this side, and saw everything clearly.
The white mist dissipated, and Lu Yi and a group of men in black disappeared without a trace.
Soon, the void teleportation array in Jiezhou City lit up, and Xuan Taisu rushed out of the teleportation array with a team of elite subordinates. After hearing a group of local officials report the encounter between the studio assassins and the spies he had stationed in Jiezhou City, Xuan Taisu slapped the chief officer of Jiezhou City on the spot and led a large group of people to chase after Lu Yi in the direction he fled.
Xuan Taisu’s stern rebuke echoed in the sky above Jiezhou City.
"I beat you, not because you did anything wrong... but because you acted too realistically. I thought... maybe you are just a bunch of cowards!"
A group of Jiezhou local officials looked at each other in silence.
The chief official of the prefecture touched his painful and swollen cheek and laughed dryly: "This matter...ah, it's an unexpected disaster. But fortunately, the disaster star finally left. With His Royal Highness Prince Ying and his men chasing him, he won't be able to get away with it for much longer."
After hesitating for a while, the chief officer of Jiezhou said softly: "Seal the city for another three days. After three days, if there is no movement, open the city defense formation... Let all businesses be quiet for three days. Otherwise..."
The chief officer turned around and looked in the direction of the provincial capital's public treasury.
As mentioned before, Jiezhou did not have any rare minerals, elixirs or the like, but their paper was very valuable . Therefore, the amount of taxes and property stored in the Jiezhou treasury was indeed not a small number.
If these properties were stolen, this group of local officials would be in trouble.
So, let’s be quiet for three more days.
King Xuan Taisu of Ying led a large group of elite troops to frantically hunt down Lu Yi in the mountains and hills. In front of them, there was a group of palm-sized small minks with extremely smart eyes running fast.
This is the 'Thousand Mile Spiritual Rat' domesticated by Canghai Tower, an alien spirit rat with little combat power, which can only reach the Golden Lotus realm at most before death.
However, the Thousand Mile Spirit Breath Rat was born with a strange spirit breath escape method, which was extremely fast, comparable to the speed of ordinary Zhaoxukong Great Powers. Moreover, they were born with the ability to find treasures and tracks. As long as a living person passed by a certain place within seven days, the trace of breath left behind was enough for them to follow the smell and track him.
This kind of Thousand Mile Spirit Breath Rat is difficult to reproduce and its number is rare, so Canghai Tower cherishes them very much.
Generally speaking, unless someone comes to an important stronghold of Canghai Tower with an extremely valuable treasure that is worth risking one's life for, but is unwilling to sell it to Canghai Tower... this Thousand Mile Spirit Breath Rat will come in handy.
What is its use...no need to say more.
In a word, Canghailou is quite fair in doing business. As long as you bring your treasure to them, they will always give you a very fair price and ensure that you can enjoy this wealth in peace.
But if you bring the treasure to Canghailou and Canghailou has quoted a price, but you change your mind and are unwilling to sell the treasure to Canghailou... Canghailou has enough ordinary treasures, so you can just regret it, right?
But there really is such a heaven-defying treasure, a treasure that even the elders of Canghai Tower are attracted to... It's okay if you don't make an offer. If you don't sell it after making an offer, the Qianli Lingxi Rat will come on stage and ensure that this treasure will appear in the treasury of Canghai Tower in a few days!
Among the mountains, Lu Yi walked quickly with big strides.
Very high above his head, a red light was faintly visible. It was the giant parrot using its magical power to compress its body to the size of a sesame seed, soaring in the sky like a flea and following him.
Suddenly, the big parrot swooped down and landed on Lu Yi's shoulder.
"A group of grandchildren are chasing us from behind, and there is also a large group of hairy mice leading the way..."
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and immediately quickened his pace.
The One Thought Escape Technique was put into action, and with every step he took, hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers were left behind.
Thousands of miles behind him, a group of Thousand Mile Spiritual Breathing Rats chirped at the same time. Xuan Taisu's expression changed slightly: "He suddenly sped up to escape? What? His speed of escape is so fast that even you can't catch up? Are you sure?"
A group of cute little minks quickly swung their big furry tails at the same time, with unhappy expressions on their little faces after being suspected - in Canghai Tower, they were rare creatures that even the supreme elders regarded as their treasures, and Xuan Taisu dared to question them... I really wanted to go to the supreme elder and report him to him!
Xuan Taisu's face stiffened slightly, and he hurriedly took out a handful of elixirs and threw them to the group of difficult little minks.
"I made a mistake... But no matter how fast he is, it's useless. Hehe, he wants to fight against the huge Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty on its territory. Who does he think he is? Is he a celestial being?"
Xuan Taisu laughed sarcastically: "If he is really a powerful celestial being... Tsk, how could he do such a tasteless thing? He looted so many states and counties... Tsk!"
Xuan Taisu licked his lips. Why did he feel a little envious when he talked about this kind of thing?
"Thank you all, we just need to lock on to this beast's whereabouts. We don't have to really catch up with him!" Xuan Taisu determined the direction and murmured, "Ahead is Yazhou... Hehe, Yazhou is surrounded by mountains covering billions of miles, and is rich in all kinds of ferocious beasts, monsters' blood, bones and flesh materials. It is often threatened by beast tides, so Yazhou has stationed heavy troops!"
Xuan Taisu shook his head lightly and smiled : "Plus the elite imperial guards that I transferred there, hehe."
The group also sped up and rushed in the direction where Lu Yi escaped.
When the Qianli Lingxi Rat sent out a signal saying that their escape speed was still not as fast as Lu Yi's, Xuan Taisu let out a clear whistle, and a faint light lit up on the bodies of this group of elite imperial guards. Behind each of them, a pair of pitch-black wings appeared. They flapped their wings and flew high, and their escape speed suddenly increased by about 50%.
These wings are also a specialty of the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty.
Before those powerful black swallows are on the verge of death, extremely skilled beastmasters will perform secret techniques to force all their essence and blood into their two wings, turning their wings into top-notch refining materials.
Then, a skilled weapon refiner would cut off the two wings and use secret methods to refine them to produce this strange flying treasure.
This kind of flying secret treasure can increase the speed of escape. The top-level wings can make a powerful person like Xuan Taisu who has cultivated to the level of Zhaoxu to double the speed of escape.
Among the elite imperial guards brought by Xuan Taisu, the weakest one has the strength of the peak of Golden Lotus.
These wings can increase their speed by more than 50% on average, which shows that the ones they are equipped with are all top-quality secret treasures.
Lu Yi had already noticed that the speed of the pursuers behind him was increasing rapidly.
The mountain wind had already brought the scent of pursuers... They were getting closer and closer, and Lu Yi could even smell the murderous intent from them.
Lu Yi couldn't help but speed up again.
According to the geomancy book in his hand, there is more than 3,000 miles ahead, which is the seat of Yazhou of the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty.
Yazhou was heavily garrisoned with troops, and the people were tough and aggressive. There were many powerful and wealthy families in the state.
Lu Yi made a sharp turn and was about to bypass Yazhou.
Suddenly, a shrill suona sound was heard from behind a mountain in front, accompanied by shrill cries, and a funeral procession suddenly emerged from the middle of the mountain.
The funeral procession was dressed in white and consisted of about a hundred people.
They cried and shouted, beat drums and gongs, and ran quickly from the steep, roadless mountainside, stepping on the old trees in the mountains, and rushed straight towards Lu Yi.
