Chapter 284 Evacuation
"call out!"
The light pierced through the air and went straight into the Falling Star Sect!
Inside the Falling Star Sect, Li Guang, a Nascent Soul Immortal who was stationed there, also looked toward the incoming beam of light.
"Star Chaser, it's you? With your Starlight Escape Technique, this is in the bag!"
Li Guang greeted him.
"According to the information, the target is highly skilled in escape techniques. We are either also proficient in escape techniques, or we possess supreme treasures that can seal off the void..."
After a brief introduction, the newly arrived Star Chaser got straight to the point: "Any clues?"
"We have received news that someone has indeed infiltrated our Falling Star Sect territory, but we cannot confirm whether it is true or not."
Li Guang responded, "However, my orders have been issued. We have placed people at all key points and are activating the array to scan from time to time. It will be difficult to find them, but if they want to break out of the Falling Star Mountains, there is absolutely no chance."
"They infiltrated? So quickly?"
Zhu Xing's expression turned serious: "I underestimated his speed."
"Three hours ago, the target was still in the Youlong Mountain area. How could they have arrived at the Luoxing Mountain Range in such a short time? Is the target really that fast? Could there be a mistake?"
As Li Guang spoke, he glanced at the horizon and said, "Not only did you arrive immediately, but two more Loose Immortals are also rushing here at full speed. In fact, if we extend the time to twelve hours, it wouldn't be surprising if my small Falling Star Sect gathered ten or eight Loose Immortals. Wouldn't it be making a mountain out of a molehill to deal with a Dao Realm cultivator?"
"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. If that streak of light is indeed Li Xian, we must not be careless in the slightest."
Zhu Xing said in a deep voice, "According to what Gu Xianyi said, that Li Xian is a person who can stir up a storm in the void! Just based on this skill, if we don't pay full attention to deal with it, we may be caught off guard and capsize!"
"Void Storm!?"
Li Guang's eyes held a hint of disbelief: "A mere Dao Realm cultivator? Stirring up a void storm?"
"I'd also like to know that, but... his achievements in killing Zhang Taiyuan and eliminating many alien races have been acknowledged by most people, and there is no exaggeration in the slightest."
The Path of Star Chaser.
"Zhang Taiyuan..."
Li Guang also knew quite a bit about this legendary figure in the Dao realm.
There were Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect who had fought against him, even if it was just a friendly spar. But the combat power and skills he displayed...
Unless that Nascent Soul Immortal uses all his skills, no one can defeat him.
"Don't forget, these kinds of people all possess superior-grade Dao artifacts, or even top-grade Dao artifacts, bestowed upon them by their sects! If he has already achieved the Great Perfection of Void Realm, and also carries a top-grade Void Dao artifact, it's not impossible for him to achieve this!"
Zhu Xing added another sentence.
"A top-tier Dao artifact..."
These words quickly calmed Li Guang down, and a hint of greed appeared in his eyes.
A top-tier Dao artifact!
Even some Dao-Merging True Immortals in the Nine Heavens Holy Land do not possess such a precious treasure.
No, let alone top-tier Dao artifacts, he doesn't even have a single high-grade Dao artifact.
The only Dao artifact he possessed was obtained from a sect after he transcended tribulation and became an immortal, when he incurred a heavy debt. He would have to guard the border for the next one or two thousand years to possibly pay off the debt for exchanging this Dao artifact.
If we can capture and kill Li Xian, we can seize the top-tier Dao artifact in his possession...
Let alone upgrading from a slingshot to a cannon, or even equipping ourselves with top-grade magical artifacts, we would have more than enough resources to cultivate the body of a human immortal.
"I will immediately order an intensified search!"
Li Guang's mind immediately became excited.
If you can kill a Dao Realm expert, you have a chance to obtain a top-tier Dao artifact. If you can't seize such a good opportunity, you deserve to waste your whole life in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Soon after Li Guang issued his order, news arrived.
"A discovery!"
Li Guang quickly said, "A beam of Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi forcefully broke through a checkpoint set up by our sect in the Falling Star Mountain Range. There were one True Monarch and three Refining Gods from our Falling Star Sect stationed there. However, even with the help of the formation, they were instantly killed in a single exchange, without even a chance to resist. Such strength... could only belong to a Heavenly Monarch!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Zhu Xing suddenly stood up.
"Wait, be careful. This might be a trap. To ensure we don't fall for their ruse, one of us should lead the team..."
"No!"
Before Li Guang could finish speaking, Zhu Xing interrupted him, his face solemn: "As I just said, Li Xian is incredibly powerful, even capable of stirring up void storms. We must deal with him with all our might. If he escapes, given his extraordinary talent... if he reappears in our Central Continent in a few years, he might come as a True Immortal. Wouldn't we regret it then?"
"The problem is that we still can't confirm whether that person is actually Mr. Li..."
"With the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi and the strength of a Heavenly Monarch, there is no other choice but Li Xian! After all, the other two Heavenly Monarchs of the Great Luo Immortal Sect are some distance away from the gate to the Immortal Realm. If they had activated the Great Teleportation Talisman in time, they would have already left our Nine Heavens Holy Land!"
"Where is the target?" Zhu Xing urged.
Li Guang was unwilling to miss the opportunity to obtain a top-tier Dao artifact by besieging a Dao Realm expert, so he no longer hesitated.
"Alright, I'll go with you to hunt down Li Xian."
The two Nascent Soul Immortals simultaneously rode their escape lights, shooting out of the main hall and heading straight for their destination.
Shortly after the two Nascent Soul Immortals left, a sword light merged into the void and rushed to the Falling Star Mountain Range with incredible speed!
He made no attempt to hide anything.
The only way is to be fast!
Unparalleled speed!
even……
Even a rogue immortal who isn't skilled in escape techniques can't catch up with him!
Just as the others from the Falling Star Sect sensed his approach through the array, he had already arrived above the Falling Star Mountain Range. By the time the Falling Star Sect members tried to stop him, he had already swept across the mountain range and headed straight for the borders of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. The whole process...
It went so smoothly that even he found it hard to believe.
"Where was the promised presence of a rogue immortal guarding this place? I was mentally prepared to force my way through his blockade, but... where is he?"
Without any obstruction from the immortals, Li Xian did not waste any time.
Once again, he merged with the void, broke away from the Falling Star Mountain Range at full speed, and headed out of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
He did not use the Void Sword Escape technique. Although this technique was extraordinary, it consumed too much energy; a dozen or so uses would deplete his mana.
In the context of the possibility of being intercepted by the wandering immortals of the Nine Heavens Holy Land at any time in the Central Continent, having depleted magical power is not a good idea.
……
"call out!"
Sword light tore through the void!
Beyond the mountains, a vast ocean suddenly appears before your eyes.
This is the outer edge of the Endless Sea.
Crossing the endless sea will lead you to the Eastern Continent.
"They actually got out so easily? The Nine Heavens Holy Land laid a trap? And it turned out to be nothing?"
Li Xian glanced behind him in surprise.
even……
There was still a sense of unfinished business.
He chose to break out of the Falling Star Sect for two reasons: firstly, the Falling Star Sect happened to be in the direction of the breakout; secondly, it was because of the Falling Star Sect Master, Li Guang.
This Nascent Soul Immortal has only been at the stage of transcending tribulation and breaking through to the next realm for a little over seven hundred years. Perhaps he has already transformed his magical arts into immortal arts, but...
Basically, it's a transition from nine levels of magic to one level of immortal arts.
Moreover, he was very likely not yet fully proficient in the first level of immortal arts. With his magical abilities, he was willing to give it a shot and experience the difference between a Heavenly Lord and a Loose Immortal.
But since we haven't met anyone yet, we'll head out first.
Right now, Li Xian is about to accelerate away again.
Just then, he seemed to sense something.
A strong energy fluctuation erupted in the sea area near the Falling Star Mountains behind him.
The magical fluctuations, which could be clearly sensed even thousands of miles apart, reverberated throughout the heavens and earth, indicating that a great battle was taking place among many people.
Among them, the boundless radiance of the Great Luo Immortal Sect's supreme immortal technique pierced the void, appearing in the distance.
"People from the Great Luo Immortal Sect?"
Li Xian was somewhat surprised.
Besides him, there were also people from the Great Luo Immortal Sect trapped in the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
However, upon closer reflection, he understood something.
It might actually be true.
In the past, the area surrounding the gate to the Immortal Realm was dominated by the Nine Heavens Holy Land, but this time, it has become the Great Luo Immortal Sect.
Furthermore, the Immortal Realm collapsed too quickly, so it's not surprising that some people were unable to use the Great Teleportation Talisman during the collapse and were trapped in the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly vanished.
A single Void Sword Escape instantly traversed thousands of miles.
As the void tore apart, a battlefield opened up by hundreds of Golden Core cultivators, Spirit Refiners, and True Monarchs suddenly appeared before them.
Among the hundreds of people involved in the confrontation, one side belonged to the Great Luo Immortal Sect, consisting of only about twenty people. Among them, Li Xian even saw some familiar faces, such as Lu Baishan.
The other side consisted of as many as seventy or eighty people, whose clothing and attire clearly indicated they came from the Falling Star Sect.
Despite having an overwhelming numerical advantage, the Falling Star Sect was outmatched by the twenty-odd people led by Lu Baishan due to the difference in their average skill levels.
If Lu Baishan and the others hadn't been so eager to leave the Falling Star Sect's territory and unwilling to get entangled with these Falling Star Sect's Golden Core and Spirit Refining experts, they could have easily wiped out these seventy or eighty Falling Star Sect masters with just a little effort.
Of course, the Falling Star Sect members also understood that they were at a disadvantage. They set up an array, but their main goal was to entangle the enemy, seemingly waiting for reinforcements.
After scanning the scene with his divine sense, Li Xian understood the situation and dashed towards the great formation set up by the experts of the Falling Star Sect, unleashing the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi.
"careful!"
"There are still experts!"
"The Balance Formation shifts!"
The numerous Falling Star Sect cultivators reacted extremely quickly, and with the cooperation of the three True Monarchs, a visible barrier appeared in front of the formation.
This barrier, formed by the combined power of dozens of Golden Core and Refining Spirit cultivators, would require considerable effort even for a top-tier True Monarch to break through. However, with Li Xianyi's Great Chaos Technique striking down, the barrier was instantly extinguished by the chaotic energy, melting away like ice and water.
Without the barrier, the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi rushed in, cutting through everything in its path. The cultivators of the Falling Star Sect had no chance to resist. Amidst screams and cries of alarm, nearly half of them were torn into blood mist by this sword qi.
"Great Chaos Technique! Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi! Li Xian! It's Li Xian!"
"This is a monster that even Senior Brother Zhang Taiyuan couldn't defeat. How can we possibly stand against it? Quick, retreat!"
"Wait! Li Xian? This is Li Xian? Then who were the people that the sect leader and the rogue immortals from the upper sect were chasing earlier?"
Fear, panic, and bewilderment echoed through the crowd.
The quick-thinking experts from the Falling Star Sect scattered in all directions.
Compared to the panic of the Falling Star Sect members, Lu Baishan and the others who escaped the Falling Star Sect's entanglement showed little joy.
"Li Xian!"
As they watched the figure descend from the sky, some of them...
It was filled with grief.
But since things have come to this point, arguing about right and wrong is pointless.
"go!"
All Lu Baishan could do was order his men to get away and escape the Nine Heavens Holy Land as quickly as possible.
