Chapter 1285 - 555: The Dagger Revealed
Within the "Celestial Secret Pavilion," Spirit Stones, Talismans, Magical Treasures, and Arrays piled up like mountains, were all looted by Li Yunjing.
"Not bad! This time, it’s a profit!"
Li Yunjing smiled slightly, raised his hand and absorbed, the "Purple Gold Gourd" radiated brilliantly, and valuable cultivation resources flew into it like a river in reverse. Tens of thousands of High Grade Spirit Stones disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The smell of blood quickly pervaded the "Celestial Secret Pavilion," with corpses strewn all over the ground.
Li Yunjing’s gaze swept to a cold jade coffin in the corner of the wall, where a thirty-thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng lay dormant inside. The blood-colored ginseng root slowly stretched in the jade liquid. He sneered, "Pang Qianji really knows how to hide."
With a wave of his hand, he collected the cold jade coffin along with the treasures inside.
Li Yunjing’s body flickered, transforming into a stream of light, rushing out of the "Celestial Secret Pavilion" towards the outskirts of the city!
At the moment Li Yunjing broke out through the window, a surge of aura rippled like a tumultuous wave, sweeping across the market.
The cultivators on the street looked up in horror, seeing a figure shrouded in the brilliance of the Five Elements slicing through the sky, while the "Celestial Secret Pavilion" behind them collapsed with a roar, followed by billowing smoke, and the smell of blood came with the sea breeze.
"Not good! Something happened at the ’Celestial Secret Pavilion’!"
The cultivators who reacted first took out a "Communication Talisman," and news spread like a plague among various forces.
Almost at the same time Li Yunjing left, everyone who had designs on him knew about the news.
In the "Four Seas Commerce Association," Ao Lie was tasting Spirit Tea. Upon hearing the news, the teacup fell to the ground.
"Quick! Gather the Hidden Guards! No matter what, he must not leave the city!"
Ao Lie roared, shattering the tables and chairs, "Daring to cause trouble under my nose, chase him! Alive or dead, I want to see him!"
In an instant, within "Four Seas City," dozens of Golden Core Realm figures flew out from all directions, and the light of various magical treasures illuminated the sky with a kaleidoscope of colors.
All these people were heading in the same direction!
The direction where Li Yunjing left the city!
One among them was the fastest.
"Little bastard!"
This was a black-robed Demonic Cultivator, holding a "Soul Chasing Chain," with skulls on the chain emitting a sinister hiss, "Killed Pang Qianji and still wants to run?"
He swung out the "Soul Chasing Chain," the chain transformed into a black giant python targeting the middle of Li Yunjing’s back.
"You don’t know life from death!"
Without looking back, Li Yunjing’s sleeve released the "Five Dragon Wheel," buzzing and flying out, and the Power of the Five Elements transformed into a cage, trapping the "Soul Chasing Chain."
The giant python roared unwillingly, disintegrating inch by inch under the brilliance of the Five Elements, and the entire "Soul Chasing Chain" was captured back by Li Yunjing’s "Five Dragon Wheel."
"You think you can stop me with just you?"
Amidst the black-robed cultivator’s curses, thunder light burst around Li Yunjing, his speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the city gate.
"Stop!"
"Kill!"
The city guards had already received orders, and the Defense Array on the city wall activated with a roar, the runes interweaving into a gigantic mesh of light, covering the sky, enveloping Li Yunjing.
Yet Li Yunjing sneered, stomped his foot, causing a crack to open on the ground.
Without hesitation, he leaped into it, and the layers of earth and stone rapidly closed behind him, leaving behind the dumbfounded Golden Core Realm cultivators on the city wall.
"Chase! Open the city gates, chase outside!"
The black-robed cultivator was furious, stomping with rage.
Not only did he gain nothing, but his own "Soul Chasing Chain" was also snatched by Li Yunjing.
It was losing his wife and losing his soldiers! How could he not be angry?
At this moment, Li Yunjing, utilizing the "Earth Escape Technique," was rapidly advancing along an underground passage.
"Chase then! Chase! I’ll play with you later!"
He could feel the aura of the pursuers behind him but a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At the end of the passage, came the salty sea breeze, as Li Yunjing emerged from the earth, he encountered patrolling ships at the periphery of "Four Seas Island."
Three "Profound Iron Warships" lit up with treasure light, the cultivators on the decks shouted in unison, and dozens of giant crossbow arrows shattered through the air, plowing deep trenches on the surface of the sea.
"Swish swish swish..."
A dense rain of arrows, like spears, shot towards him.
These were special treasures designed to break protective Gang Qi.
They were one of the war instruments of the "Four Seas Commerce Association."
At this moment, to block Li Yunjing, these "Profound Iron Warships" had been dispatched to stall for time, waiting for the Golden Core Realm experts to arrive.
"Want to stall for time? Simply don’t know life and death!"
Li Yunjing sneered, the "Five Dragon Wheel" transformed into a stream of light circling his body, the shield formed by the Power of the Five Elements shattered the crossbow arrows one by one, which then fell into the sea.
"Stop him! Whoever takes his head, will be rewarded with a thousand High Grade Spirit Stones!"
A red-haired Golden Core Realm cultivator on one of the warships waved a command flag, and suddenly, hundreds of dark chains with sharp barbed hooks emitting blue poisonous light extended from both sides of the ship.
"Boom!"
Li Yunjing lightly tapped the sea surface with the tips of his toes, his figure shuttled like a phantom, the thunder light erupting from his fingertips where it passed, scorching the chains inch by inch.
He backhandedly flung the "Soul Chasing Chain," the skull emitted a shrill howl, instantly entangling three cultivators and dragging them into the sea, where blood exploded amidst the waves.
However, not giving Li Yunjing the chance to slaughter the three warships, pursuers surged in like a tide.
When Li Yunjing leaped onto a reef, the sky suddenly darkened, and twelve flying magical artifacts formed a celestial gang array, encircling him tightly once more.
"Li Yunjing, surrender the secret treasures of Celestial Secret Pavilion, and we will leave you a whole corpse!"
From within the array came a cold laughter, "Otherwise, your ’Star Moon Trading Company’ will also be destroyed!"
Before the voice fell, a "White Bone Banner" flew out from the array hub, and the wraiths manifest on the banner let out piercing shrieks, transforming into a black mist that shrouded within ten miles.
