After the people below heard this, many people who had just relaxed looked nervous again.
Li Yan also saw the expressions of more than a dozen people among them. They did not show surprise, but their expressions became more solemn.
Among the monks, Li Yan is not the only one who is smart. Many people here have already thought of various possibilities after experiencing the hasty battle just now.
"Senior, can we continue to move forward and join up with the strong men at the entrance or the escort, so that we can fight back together to encircle and suppress them!"
"We can either hide and look for opportunities to escape and annihilate the enemy!"
At this time, a monk suggested.
"No, we don't know the exact location of where we are now, but we are very clear about how far the sect is from here and where it is.
As for staying here to hide, if the sect can react and kill these enemies in the middle area, we can take the opportunity to cooperate with the ambush or wait for an opportunity to escape.
But all this is only when the sect can gain an advantage. Once the enemy takes advantage here, we will really be trapped in a tight siege, with no hope of escaping.
You bring all the sect disciples who died in the battle into the empty shadow space, and bury them after they return to the sect! Quick, move faster, we need to leave here as soon as possible!"
Li Yan quickly made arrangements to return to the sect as soon as possible before all the other party's deployments were carried out, at least to get close to the sect in order to get reinforcements.
Those disciples who have died no longer need to be specially collected into the void shadow of living beings, they can just be directly collected into the ordinary void shadow as items.
When the people below heard this, they also felt that what Li Yan said was reasonable, even if the other party said it was unreasonable, they still had to listen to Li Yan's orders in the end.
And this Senior Li was not a cold-blooded person. Before he left, he did not forget to tell him that he had collected the bodies of his companions, which at least showed that Li Yan was not that cold-blooded.
This also shows that once he is killed in battle, he does not have to worry about being ejected by a fireball from his companions, which will completely end everything...
Three hours later, in a dense forest, Li Yan stood there with a solemn expression, while Mu Guyue still stood quietly beside him.
Opposite them, more than twenty Jindan monks were standing in the forest with different expressions.
At this time, night had fallen, and the faint starlight covered the canopy of the trees. Occasionally, a ray of starlight would shine into the forest somewhere, but the forest was mostly pitch black.
However, such darkness does not have much impact on the monks.
Things really got worse. Li Yan and the others fought another battle for more than two hours.
When they were flying back, they passed through a certain place in the air and were ambushed and attacked from the river below.
In an instant, dozens of monks appeared from the bottom of the river. This time, their luck was slightly better. The opponent did not have a strong man at the god level. Instead, four Nascent Soul monks led dozens of golden elixirs to attack and kill them.
And arrived.
After a big battle, Li Yan and the others escaped here after losing three more people.
Li Yan and Mu Guyue joined forces and quickly killed two Nascent Souls on the other side, seriously injuring one of them. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the other fled with others.
Li Yan did not pursue him, but quickly fled far away with the remaining people.
During the rest of the journey, they no longer dared to fly at high altitudes, but flew along with people close to the ground.
Even so, Li Yan still sensed three abnormal auras, and the opponents were all large in number, but he avoided them all in advance.
But as a result, their speed slowed down.
During this period, Li Yan also discovered that although Mu Guyue could not use soul power,
But her sense of danger is equally sharp, not much inferior to her own.
He relies on his soul power to sense the world, but Mu Guyue can only rely on his natural sensitivity to walk here.
Li Yan felt that if he put aside his soul power and lacked spiritual consciousness, his sense of danger would not be as good as Mu Guyue's.
Demons are demons, and their bloodline is designed to adapt to fighting. No matter what the conditions are, they can adapt quickly.
"You guys, let go of your guard, and I'll think about the next route back!"
Li Yan immediately said to those golden elixirs.
"yes!"
Those Jindan monks were on alert one by one and immediately followed the order and left.
They now obeyed Li Yan even more. They all saw with their own eyes how fierce their captain was when he took action.
The Nascent Soul cultivator who was facing him was almost killed instantly. Li Yan's attack was strange and cruel, which made the ambushing enemy shocked and fled hastily.
After watching these people disperse, Li Yan also glanced at Mu Guyue and found an extra soul slip in his hand.
"You are also responsible for paying attention to the surrounding situation. I want to find a remote route to see if I can return to the sect smoothly!"
After hearing this, Mu Guyue didn't say anything, but jumped up and flew up to a big tree, and then quietly leaned on a thick branch.
"When did he practice soul skills? Of course I remember that when I met him at the bottom of the sea, I almost killed him, but he never used any soul skills.
It stands to reason that when a person is in a desperate situation, he will definitely use all kinds of means, how can he dare to hold back..."
Seeing Li Yan holding the soul slip in his hand and examining it carefully, Mu Guyue couldn't help but think in her heart.
This Li Yan is obviously a poison cultivator and a physical cultivator, but where did he learn the soul cultivation technique?
After two battles today, she once again confirmed that the Li Yan in front of her was the human monk she knew. His poison and body refining skills were clearly demonstrated.
But now Li Yan has mastered extremely weird soul skills!
His own cultivation level is no longer the young monk he met back then. Even after he returns to his peak, he may not be his opponent.
Especially during Li Yan's battle above the river in the afternoon, Li Yan's soul skills made Mu Guyue feel extremely sharp.
The moment they felt they were being attacked, they immediately rushed towards the four Nascent Souls.
Mu Guyue saw Li Yan beside her. There was just a light blue light in his eyes. A mid-stage Nascent Soul monk in front of them fell straight from the sky.
Li Yan's "Holy Soul Transformation" is already absolutely crushing against monks in the late Nascent Soul stage and below, coupled with his powerful soul power.
The power of those stars is very miraculous. It can make the already perfected basic soul skills, after being infused with the power of stars, increase their power by one to two times.
Moreover, the soul of the monk who was hit may be numbed by the starlight, causing his soul to wander for a short period of time and his consciousness to be sluggish.
Li Yan could often pierce the opponent's soul with one more quick strike, turning the opponent's body into a dead body while his body was intact!
No matter how Mu Guyue's mood was ups and downs at the side, Li Yan seemed to have injected soul power into the soul slip. In fact, the situation at this moment was completely different.
When he raised his wrist, he quietly
After exploring into the "earth spot" and experiencing two battles in succession, Li Yan realized one thing. The danger here had increased sharply, and he could no longer delay.
In the far west of "Earth Spot", the old man in green robe was lying on the ground, being burned by the scorching sun in the sky. He no longer knew how many years he had been lying here.
At the beginning, he was often beaten wildly by that damn boy. At that time, he just wanted to die quickly. He didn't want to be insulted by the other party all the time.
But that kid refused to let him die, and every time he came, he never said a word to him except for beating him wildly.
When he was about to be driven crazy, he kept yelling and asking the other person what he wanted to do, and he would either answer himself or kill himself happily.
But what greeted him was a violent beating, which not only bruised his skin but also caused the old man in green robes to suffer even more psychological humiliation and shock.
He felt that that person was a lunatic. Maybe his brain had been damaged by practicing cultivation, and his consciousness was simply abnormal.
And just when he thought that this kind of life was worse than death, and he didn't know when the year or month would come to an end, suddenly, that boy never showed up again.
This made the old man in green robe think at first that he had gone crazy or was hallucinating. In fact, he was still being beaten, but he had already become numb.
However, after he repeatedly confirmed himself, he felt that he was not hallucinating because he was beaten. The other party just didn't appear again for a long time.
After a period of surprise, he initially thought that the other person had forgotten him, but later, the person actually never appeared again.
So, he lay here quietly like this, feeling that maybe after year after year, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
But later on, he was imprisoned in the desert, lying there day after day, unable to do anything.
After losing the beating, everything became too peaceful. He felt more and more that the scorching sun in the sky was making him more and more unbearable.
What's even more terrifying is that there is no sound at all, not even a sound of wind in this desert, as if completely isolated from the world.
But he couldn't practice, so he could only stare at the five-color halo in the sky day after day, feeling the water in his body being evaporated bit by bit.
But because his magic power is still there and his cultivation is high, water and vitality will naturally arise again. This process is silent, long and painful.
There is no day or night here, only the scorching heat that makes him unbearable. This makes the old man in green robe unable to remember the time clearly as time goes by. He is confused and does not know how much time has passed.
"Let me die...let...let me die..."
The old man in green robe in the desert stared at the five-color ring in the sky. He fantasized more than once about whether the temperature could be several times or dozens of times higher so that he could die sooner.
Or make the light shine dozens or hundreds of times, directly blinding your eyes and allowing you to feel the coming of night.
Maybe that way, he would feel cooler, he murmured to himself.
In fact, those occasional mutterings were already a subconscious reaction, and even most of the time, even he himself didn't know what he was talking about.
It seems that I am just talking for the sake of talking, and praying just to have my heart's wishes fulfilled...
And at a certain moment, the light above him
The line suddenly went black, as if something had blocked the sky.
However, the old man in green robe had no reaction this time. He was in a trance, and this situation had happened too many times.
This made him feel and react in two different spaces after experiencing great joy and sorrow again and again, and it was impossible to unify them quickly.
It wasn't until a few breaths passed that the old man in green robe showed a very strange and weird expression on his face, which was a mixture of surprise and fear.
At this time, his thoughts had some return and reaction, and this reaction came from an instinct, because he saw a face, a face that seemed somewhat familiar.
The old man in green robe also had some surprises because other colors suddenly appeared in this space.
But at the same time, the face that caught his eye made him instinctively feel extremely trembling. It was an instinctive fear engraved in his bones.
The next moment, his consciousness became blurred, his head tilted, and he passed out completely.
After Li Yan appeared, there was no longer any delay. During the sealing process, he pointed his finger at the center of the opponent's eyebrows.
Then, as the soul power on his index finger fluctuated, in just a moment, he pulled out several black shadows between the green-robed old man's eyebrows.
At the same time, red threads immediately appeared on Li Yan's other hand as the magic formula changed.
The moment those black threads appeared, these red threads were like a fishing net, wrapping them up directly. It was the mark of his soul that he had condensed...
After an unknown amount of time, the old man in green robe suddenly put his hands on his hands and sat up straight from the ground. His eyes were blank at first, and he looked around dully.
The surroundings were still familiar to him, but this time, he could move his body.
He couldn't remember what happened before. It seemed that he lost consciousness while looking at the five-color ring in the sky.
Just now in his daze, he felt a force coming from his body. He had cultivated memories for thousands of years. When he sensed the familiarity of that force, he reacted in an instant.
After the old man in green robe sat up, the instinct engraved in his bones made him subconsciously activate his magic power, and then he was stunned on the spot!
After a full ten breaths, his eyes had regained their luster, but with deep disbelief. In surprise, he quickly mobilized his magic power again.
After another few breaths, this time he was finally sure of one thing. The magic power that seemed to have been lost for thousands of years was back!
Feeling the surge of mana in his body, constantly flowing through the muscles and veins that were dry and about to crack. This long-lost feeling made the old man in green robe's chapped lips start to tremble non-stop.
He raised his hands carefully and watched the magic power shining from his palms. Two lines of tears suddenly fell from his eyes.
"Okay, have you seen enough?"
But at this moment, an extremely cold voice suddenly sounded from above his head. This made the old man in green robe, who was immersed in joy, startled and his body suddenly trembled.
The next moment, the person turned into an afterimage and appeared in the distance.
At this moment, when he raised his head to look at the place where the sound came from, the moment he saw it clearly, the old man in green robe screamed.
"It's you!"
At the same time, his memories flooded out like a tide. This person had appeared just now. As soon as he appeared, he pointed a finger at his eyebrows!
