This sneak attack of ice and cold was too overbearing. The two sides just made contact and exploded with all their strength.
Both attack and defense will consume all the toxins in an instant, and the poison is so violent that it cannot be added.
As Li Yan spoke lightly, his eyes suddenly flashed, and a figure suddenly appeared above the stream in the middle of the cave.
"Bang!"
A stream of air exploded from the body of the figure, which also deflected Li Yan's instant counterattack toxins away with a wave of air.
Li Yan's eyes couldn't help but condense. With a wave of his robe, a vortex seemed to appear in his sleeves, and the spreading poison was immediately sucked back.
It was a thin, middle-aged man wearing dark yellow clothes, which was almost identical to the light reflected in the stream here.
This caused this person to be in a hazy state even after he appeared, but Li Yan could still see the other person's appearance clearly with his consciousness.
The man's feet were also suspended above the stream. His face was a little gray, and his pupils revealed a strange green beard.
Coupled with the twilight-like silence here, it gives people a strong sense of oppression.
His hands hung down by his sides, shrouded in the wide sleeves of his robe, and his body surface was constantly exuding waves of ice, making him look like a lifeless, dead ghost.
With his appearance, those cold air suddenly made the already bone-chilling coldness in the cave become much stronger and continued to spread to the surroundings, making the pressure even more overwhelming.
Except for a pair of strange blue-gray eyes, almost all of this man's body was shrouded in yellow light.
This exposed some patterns similar to fine red cloud patterns on the long boots of the gown. When people scan it, they will pay more attention to it, which looks like a pair of eyes.
The reason why Li Yan secretly praised the other party's clever methods was because when the other party used the poison just now, he perfectly blended into the environment here.
Even with his divine knowledge and the knowledge that there might be poisons, Li Yan still could not detect any abnormal fluctuations in the coldness brought by the surrounding "Nine Nether Winds".
This made him almost suffer a big loss as soon as he arrived here. This was a rare occasion for Li Yan to be attacked by a poisonous cultivator without even realizing it.
"It turned out to be a poisonous cultivator. He came prepared. How did you know I was here?"
The middle-aged, thin man did not answer Li Yan immediately. He looked at Li Yan up and down before speaking calmly.
There was a sound of metal and iron in his voice. In such a silent cave, it seemed so harsh that it made people's hearts tighten.
Although the tone was very steady, Li Yan still felt the murderous intent in the other party's voice.
The other party asked very directly, and it seemed as if he could tell at a glance that Li Yan's appearance was aimed at him.
In fact, this is not difficult to guess. Li Yan has been standing there, and his expression has not changed even after being attacked.
From the perspective of the middle-aged thin man, the other party simply knew that he was here, and was able to block his sneak attack so calmly with targeted and precautionary measures.
If this was not the case, why did it happen that a poisonous cultivator appeared, and the other party's cultivation level was almost the same as his own.
Judging from the aura, although the person who came was lower than me, for a poisonous cultivator, even if there was a big difference between the two, no one dared to say who could win?
Listening to the other party's question, Li Yan wanted to tell the other party immediately.
"How do I know you are here? I just know you are here..."
To the other party, these two sentences are, of course, just nonsense.
Maybe as soon as Li Yan said it, this middle-aged thin man would immediately think that Li Yan was deliberately teasing him.
But in fact, this is the truth in Li Yan's heart. All the information is provided by the Demon Sect, and he can just follow the pictures and find out what's going on.
Since Li Yan arrived in Cangxuan Realm, many things he encountered later made it a little easier for him to deal with them.
Just like this time here, he only needs to be responsible for taking action.
In the past, whether he was dealing with various matters in the Northern Mu Realm or the Lower Realm, whenever he wanted to do something, he had to start with the most difficult clues.
There is no time when you have to go through too many twists and turns, fight with all your life, and fight for it.
"What Taoist friend just cast was extremely poisonous?"
Li Yan stood in the shadows. He did not answer the other party's question, but asked a question unexpectedly.
"What kind of poisonous body is it? You guys can find it all the way here, don't you just come here to talk nonsense?"
The thin, middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly.
After hearing this, Li Yan did not speak immediately this time. Instead, he stood in the shadow and looked at the other person up and down again.
What this man said later was a bit strange, as if he knew he would definitely come to find him. The attack just now was also planned for a long time?
"Can you tell me where my fellow Taoist is from?"
After a few breaths, Li Yan's slightly hesitant voice sounded.
"Why bother pretending? Where am I from? Don't you know? If there are others behind you, please come out together!"
The eyes of the middle-aged thin man first showed anger, and then turned into a look of ridicule. At the same time, a spiritual consciousness swept behind Li Yan, as if he was exploring something?
"Oh? Do you think you know where I'm from?"
Li Yan, who was in the shadow, had a strange sound in his voice.
"Hmph, I told you that I didn't get the skills you lost. You are so determined that you have no choice but to keep chasing after me.
This is no longer an ambush for you, let’s put an end to it today so that you won’t be haunted forever!”
Li Yan in the shadows, after hearing some strange words from the other party, a gleam flashed deep in his eyes.
"What does he mean by this? It seems that he has obtained some kind of skill and is being hunted and hunted all the way. Why is this situation different from what the sect leader said..."
With Li Yan's intelligence, he quickly thought of a possibility.
And in his mind, he immediately thought of an incident that happened a long time ago. Although that incident was not directly related to him, it had an inseparable indirect relationship.
The former Ji Junjun had only obtained the skills of the Pixie Sect, and was later hunted down by the Pixie Sect, but the other party died in his own hands first.
Isn't the person on the opposite side the "blood-eyed toad"? Is there something wrong with the sect master's message? Or is it a trap set against him...
Li Yan's thoughts were spinning, and he couldn't help but think of a bad result, but if the sect targeted him, what would be the reason?
The biggest problem I have is about the Yin-Yang Chaos Sect. If the sect really doubts me, there is no need to put so much effort into it, it can just kill me directly.
Despite what I can do, I can't cause any trouble in the upper realm Demon Sect...
"Wrong? Is it because of the existence of Zhao Min and others? If I die in the sect, I will be afraid that Zhao Min and others will change.
The sect must also consider Zhao Min's thoughts. Even if they are angry or suspicious, they may not immediately turn against the Demon Sect.
The most likely possibility is that after estimating his own strength, he didn't show any signs of strangeness on the surface, but secretly started to target the sect...
If this is the case, the sect has no reason not to kill Zhao Min and others, let alone become a hidden danger.
That's why I sent all my close relatives to this ghost place this time. Could it be that they took the opportunity to attack us?
Even if Master finds out later, if the sect is covering it up, it might just turn into an accident..."
All kinds of thoughts immediately came to Li Yan's mind, because he thought of the timing of Zhao Min and the others coming over.
He is a suspicious person, and whenever there is something wrong with him, he will immediately think of all the worst possibilities, but he is never idle.
"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to look for it. There is no one else behind me. In such a special environment, even if you want to hide in, you have to be able to withstand the weird coldness here.
I just entered a ghost town in search of a kind of corpse poison and wanted to find some high-level ghouls, and then I accidentally entered here.
I have absolutely no idea what kind of technique fellow Taoist is talking about being lost, but I would like to ask fellow Taoist why you secretly attacked me?
If I just give some innocuous reasons, then I will settle this account with you!"
While Li Yan was speaking, he stepped out of the shadows in the corner of the cave and looked at the middle-aged, thin man with a cold look on his face.
The man in the middle of the cave also saw Li Yan's appearance clearly at this time. Although he had noticed someone coming before, the other person was hiding his whereabouts.
Therefore, as soon as his spiritual consciousness passed, he was immediately swept away, unable to see Li Yan's appearance clearly.
The moment he saw Li Yan clearly, the expression on his face was obviously stunned. At this time, since Li Yan was discovered by the other party, he simply removed the concealment on his body to save some mana.
This allowed the middle-aged thin man's consciousness to scan Li Yan's body carefully, and he did not see any illusion or other covering in Li Yan's appearance.
He can even determine the clear position of the bones under the opponent's skin based on the flow of the opponent's breath.
"You...you are not a monk from the 'Ten Thousand Poison Cave'?"
In his memory, he should know all the powerful people in the Void Refining Realm in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, and the aura exuding from Li Yan was not someone he was familiar with.
"'Ten Thousand Poison Cave'..."
Li Yan's eyes flashed a few times. He heard that this sect was a poisonous cultivator sect, but he had never heard of it.
Seeing Li Yan's confused face, as if he was thinking about this sect, the middle-aged, thin man's eyes flashed with light.
The fairy world is too vast, so he couldn't see the problem in the other party's words, but he still said calmly.
"Since fellow Taoist disciples are not here for a certain family, they are not enemies of a certain family. Please leave here as soon as possible, fellow daoist disciples!"
After hearing this this time, Li Yan couldn't help but look more and more gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on the other party.
"Is this the territory of fellow Taoists? As far as I know, this ghost land has never been occupied by any ghost cultivator sect.
My fellow Taoist attacked me just now, did you explain it to me? If I hadn't been lucky, I would have died here today."
"Fellow Taoist is right, this is indeed not my territory, but this is not fellow Taoist's territory either. Even if we follow the first-come, first-served rule, I will practice here first.
For the sake of safety, just like if a Taoist friend opens a temporary cave when he is in the wild, wouldn't the Taoist friend take action if someone breaks in?"
The middle-aged, thin man's face also immediately showed a sinister look. He was also staring at Li Yan, as if he would immediately take action if he disagreed with him.
Of course, he would not easily believe what Li Yan said. His words also meant to test Li Yan's true purpose.
What's more, he himself is an extremely vicious person. If he hadn't found out the details about Li Yan and the other party was indeed very skilled, he would never have been verbose with him.
Li Yan's eyes flashed for a few times. This person was not simple. He even said that he was speechless. In fact, speaking of it, this was really the case.
After a moment of silence, Li Yan looked at the other party carefully, trying to see if the other party had any demonic aura leaking out.
But regardless of whether you are a demon cultivator or a demon cultivator, after your cultivation reaches the level of Nascent Soul and is condensed into Nascent Soul, the demonic energy or devilish energy in your body can be controlled extremely well.
Unless you are too much stronger than the opponent, then it is possible to tell, but it is very obvious that your current cultivation level is not as good as the opponent, and the small realm is several levels different.
"Fellow Taoist, let's put aside the topic of you taking action against me, but you are only here temporarily, and I still need to explore some things here.
Therefore, I want to explore several extended areas behind this cave. As long as there is no target I am looking for, I will leave here immediately and search elsewhere.
Otherwise...then we have to settle what happened before!"
When the thin middle-aged man heard this, his dissatisfaction was evident on his face.
"Fellow Taoist, what you are looking for is a high-level ghoul. Are there any ghouls here? Isn't it clear to you after searching all the way?
I don’t even have a Yin beast here, let alone any ghouls. Do you think I am a ghoul?”
"I also agree with what fellow Taoist said just now. The things you have done are over. I will check whether there are any corpses before I know. Is that okay?"
After Li Yan said this, his eyes began to narrow, and his aura fluctuated slightly. Of course, he had to search to find out.
What's more, he didn't see the evil spirit in the other party, and he still had so many doubts in his mind. Maybe he could find some clues after searching?
Is it because I made a mistake in my judgment, or does the sect have ulterior motives?
As the middle-aged thin man's breath came together on Li Yan's body, mana fluctuations also appeared on his body, and his face became increasingly gloomy.
But just after seven or eight breaths, he came out with a suppressed voice.
"Okay, then move faster!"
After saying that, his figure did not move, and was still suspended above the stream, as if he was waiting for Li Yan to leave quickly.
Li Yan stopped talking and flew towards the back of the cave.
He chose a passage that he determined after scanning with his spiritual consciousness. There was something there that obscured his spiritual consciousness, so Li Yan naturally wanted to find out.
With a flash of his body, he passed by the other side of the thin middle-aged man. At the same time, he kept staring at the man, always vigilant.
As for the thin, middle-aged man, the fluctuating aura on his body had disappeared and he was motionless, looking at Li Yan coldly as well.
Just when Li Yan had flown away from him and was already heading towards the cave, Li Yan's figure suddenly became a blur.
This made the middle-aged thin man's cold expression suddenly change at this moment.
When Li Yan's figure was blurred, his hands were already curling his fingers and flicking, and suddenly more than ten strong winds flew out, hitting the milkstones hanging down from the top of the cave.
At the same time, black filaments suddenly flashed out from a group of milkstones hanging from the ceiling of the cave, and those filaments were connected together in an instant.
In just an instant, a large black net was formed that covered the entire roof of the cave, making no sound.
As soon as it emerged, it immediately shrouded Li Yan who was below and the thin middle-aged man who was still suspended.
The wind blade struck by Li Yan flashed across the space, cutting into the black web above his head without any obstruction.
However, as soon as those wind blades came into contact, they were directly hit and scattered by the filaments forming a large black network.
Just when the wind blade turned into dots of starlight and rose upwards, suddenly, there was an angry roar,
