Five Immortals Gate

Li Yan's calculations were quite accurate. As expected, a seventh-order demon beast had strong experience and immediately conducted a probe of him. However, those medicinal fragrance were all deliberately created by him.

It was to attract the other party's attention, and he hadn't made any arrangements there, just some normal healing pills.

Moreover, these pills were obtained from Elder Lin and Elder Zhang, to avoid accidentally using uncommon pills here, which would arouse the other party's suspicion.

Li Yan's deliberate behavior was to make Yuan Zhen feel alert at first. As long as he confirmed that there was nothing wrong, his vigilance would begin to decrease, which had already entered Li Yan's rhythm.

Yuan Zhen's subsequent divine sense probe of Li Yan was the most dangerous time for Li Yan. He only set up illusionary poison in his body.

Although there was mana circulating in his inner organs, the relative defense was extremely low. This was why Li Yan was so bold. Even if others designed to lure the enemy, most of them would not dare to do so.

In order to deal with Yuan Zhen, Li Yan originally planned to use his strongest assassination method, taking the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the opponent, which was an assassination that would catch people off guard.

But after the other party suddenly gave the conditions, Li Yan decisively abandoned this method. He used "Nine Cauldrons Kui Water" as a cover, hiding the fatal attack within it.

At the same time, he also took out Elder Hao's "Rouge Pillow" without any pity. This was a poison treasured by soul cultivators in the Integration Realm.

Not to mention dealing with a seventh-order demon beast, even an eighth-order demon beast would have problems if hit. This was definitely a life-saving treasure.

However, limited by Li Yan's cultivation level, the abnormality caused by using the "Rouge Pillow" was still too great, and he could only use it when he found the right opportunity.

Like Zhu Hongyi and his junior brother who suddenly attacked at the beginning, Li Yan couldn't get close to them at all. They completely used the ranged attacks that sword cultivators were best at.

Moreover, once those two launched an attack, Li Yan was completely in a passive position of being beaten, and there was no chance to use this poison.

However, Li Yan also thought for a long time about how to trick the other party. Finally, he suddenly saw the huge sword box that Lin Chaoming had placed on the ground, and he immediately had an idea.

Since he guessed that Zhu Hongyi should have revealed his secret to Yuan Zhen, then Li Yan simply revealed the identity of a Five Immortals Sect cultivator in this calculation.

In this way, he could completely grasp the initiative. It's just that Li Yan wouldn't immediately know whether Yuan Zhen's final investigation in the market had suspected that it was done by a Five Immortals Sect cultivator.

But this demon's experience was really rich. After coming here, he didn't even touch those flying swords. He was so careful that Li Yan secretly called himself lucky that he hadn't put the poison in the courtyard and on the flying swords.

Li Yan used "Nine Cauldrons Kui Water" as a bait to successfully attract the other party's attention, so that Yuan Zhen became more and more curious after seeing the pure spiritual energy contained in it.

Li Yan hid the killing move "Kui Water Eye" in the "Nine Cauldrons Kui Water". He only needed the other party's soul to be pinned down for a moment.

He would directly use a thunderous fatal blow, the soul poison that Elder Hao gave that could kill Integration Realm cultivators—"Rouge Pillow"!

When the "Kui Water Eye" was used, Yuan Zhen didn't need to look at it with his eyes. As long as the person covered by the "Kui Water Eye", the spell would work.

But this was the first time Li Yan used it, and he still adopted what he thought was the safest approach, until Yuan Zhen looked at the flying sword with the most metal power, which he had tampered with.

Only then did Li Yan suddenly launch the spell at that moment!

However, Yuan Zhen knew too many important things and was very useful in himself. Li Yan didn't offer a lot of "Rouge Pillow".

It's just that this type of demon beast usually has unknown innate supernatural powers. Li Yan was afraid that the other party still had the power to resist, so he shattered one of his souls with a single "Soul Division Slash".

Even if the other party had any unknown secret techniques, in the case of losing a soul, the whole person would fall into a coma in an instant, even if they had the ability to reach the sky.

The first time the soul poison cooperated with the Five Immortals Sect's spells, the power was so great that Li Yan was also surprised. An Integration Realm demon beast didn't even have a chance to resist under the two consecutive attacks…

Li Yan looked at the soul in a coma, and with a natural expression, he gently waved his hand and began to search the remnants of the soul…

In the room, Li Yan's face was neither happy nor sad, making it impossible to see what he was thinking at this time. He sat in the chair and began to think about the information he had obtained from the soul search.

Although he did not kill Yuan Zhen, it was useless to keep this demon beast. He was Zhu Hongyi's spirit beast, and there were still Zhu's sacrificial spells in his body, which were not easy to break.

Li Yan is strong, but that just means he has many methods. It doesn't mean that his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth can be compared with that of an Integration Realm cultivator, who knows the other party's methods.

If that were the case, he would have been promoted to the Integration Realm. Yuan Zhen's situation was completely different from Feng Hongyue's.

There was a shackle restriction technique in Yuan Zhen's body. Li Yan looked at it. If he used the laws of heaven and earth in the "Earth Spot", he should be able to forcibly break the restriction technique left by Zhu Hongyi.

However, Yuan Zhen would also suffer a backlash, and his strength would definitely drop greatly, or even directly fall to the Void Refinement Realm, which would be of no use to him.

The more crucial thing here is that this demon beast really knows the existence of the Five Immortals Sect, and also knows his identity.

He didn't dare to keep such a demon beast at all, even if he was the existence who had planted a blood contract, who could guarantee that it would not fall into the hands of other strong men in some accident.

Then Yuan Zhen might expose his secrets before he died. Li Yan didn't kill him, because he had a new discovery after searching his soul.

This made him feel a little happy, but more surprised and worried, so he temporarily kept Yuan Zhen's life.

In order to avoid using the other party in his later plans, there was no way to do it. Only when he was really useless, Li Yan would completely kill this demon.

Li Yan obtained a lot of useful information from the soul search, especially completely confirming the process of his discovery, which was the issue that Li Yan was most concerned about.

He must know the details of Zhu Hongyi's side, not only to make the next plan, but also to use it as a reference in the future to prevent any possibility of exposure.

The origin of everything was indeed Amu'er, but the other party did not leave behind any backhands such as jade slips, but Zhu Hongyi used the "Sword Spirit Communicating Sun and Moon" supernatural power.

When he learned this truth, this supernatural power really shocked Li Yan. Almost everything he did in the small stone room was investigated by the other party.

Zhu Hongyi used this technique to see what he did in the formation in the small stone room, including the conversations between them.

Although this supernatural power could not produce sound, just by opening and closing the mouths of these people, he could know the conversation between them.

"Lip reading" is not difficult. Even some ordinary mortals, after practicing for some time, can easily understand other people's "lip reading".

Even some martial arts masters among mortals will even know how to use "ventriloquism" to make others not know who is speaking.

It's just that "lip reading" also has its flaws, that is, it can't penetrate the seen objects like divine sense, so the dazzling white light brought by Li Yan when he broke the formation later.

Also made Zhu Hongyi's supernatural power unable to determine Li Yan's true cultivation level after he arrived there, and he didn't know that he had actually taken away Amu'er's clone.

This would reduce much of the analysis for Zhu Hongyi and the others. However, even just this information was enough to stir all their thoughts, and they even sent people out to search for Li Yan.

After discussing it with his junior brother Yan He, he decided to keep the most advantageous clues in their own hands. The two of them did not use Li Yan's appearance and adopt a needle-in-a-haystack approach.

Instead, using the investigation of Amu'er's descent as a clue, they determined that Li Yan came from the Qingqing Continent in the mortal realm. With this, the two brothers locked their target onto the mortal realm.

They believed that some of the Five Immortals Sect's cultivators might be hiding in the mortal realm, and that the black-clad, short-haired youth who had appeared might have only been passing through even if he had ascended to the Immortal Spirit Realm.

Since the cause was the destruction of the Tianlan race, this directly targeted the Five Immortals Sect's sect, which might be located on the Qingqing Continent.

After pondering, Zhu Hongyi decided to leave his spirit beast, the Golden-Eyed Flying Squirrel, to guard the sect, while he and his junior brother went to the mortal realm together, and have not returned to this day.

Furthermore, the time they had agreed upon with the Golden-Eyed Flying Squirrel to transmit messages had already passed, and the Golden-Eyed Flying Squirrel had not received any news from them either.

Yuan Zhen believed that this was due to the obstruction of the large realm and the long distance, so he had not thought too much about it. On this point, Li Yan was still unable to truly determine whether Zhu Hongyi was dead?

However, it was highly likely that the other party would never return, and Li Yan was very happy about this. What he wanted was for all those in the know to die.

In addition, Li Yan learned another piece of information that made him half happy and half worried, which was that Zhu Hongyi, in order to swallow the secrets of the Five Immortals Sect alone, had indeed not widely publicized the matter of discovering himself.

However, he had not completely kept the secret. In addition to his junior brother and Yuan Zhen, he had also told four Nascent Soul Realm elders some things.

The purpose of telling those few people was to have them go out in four directions with some disciples to search according to Li Yan's characteristics.

However, he did not allow them to tell the disciples they took out the truth, only to have those disciples act according to orders. This was Zhu Hongyi's bottom line.

Zhu Hongyi let these four people know about the Five Immortals Sect's matter because he knew that the investigation of this matter could not be completed in five or ten years, but would require a relatively long time.

If he did not explain it to these four people, after a long time, these four people would only be perfunctory. However, when they knew the purpose of the real search target, they would only be more serious in doing this thing.

In this way, Li Yan was also somewhat relieved. In this way, the matter of his exposure was still within a controllable range.

However, he was also somewhat worried that although these four people had been severely warned by Zhu Hongyi, if the other party had any small thoughts, they might reveal it to their relatives, disciples, or others.

As long as such a situation occurred once, then this matter would not be easy to handle.

Another confirmed thing was that three of the four teams sent out to investigate had indeed returned. The feedback result Yuan Zhen received was that they had not found anything.

This also made Li Yan feel a little relieved. The Cangxuan Realm was too big, so big that it was unimaginable. With the cultivation of these people, they could only explore a certain range.

This range was delineated by Zhu Hongyi, basically the places that the teleportation array could reach.

Their main focus was on finding people. After all, the black-clad, short-haired youth could come to the Xiqi Market, so he would definitely appear in other markets as well.

In this way, it was possible to find traces of the black-clad, short-haired youth's past appearances.

After Li Yan obtained these messages from soul-searching, he knew that things might go wrong. When he sent Zi Kun away, he did appear in other markets, and more than one market.

At that time, he had come all the way just to reach the Beimu Realm as soon as possible, so he rented many teleportation arrays.

At that time, it was impossible for Li Yan to transform his appearance at all times. Only when he saw something suitable for him in some markets would he turn around, transform his appearance, and then enter the store to buy it.

But more often, he used his original appearance. This was not because Li Yan was careless, but because there were various identification formations at the entrance of the market.

If Li Yan did not modify his bones to disguise himself, there was still a high probability that he would be detected, and the market often paid special attention to this kind of cultivator.

Li Yan didn't want to be targeted by others for no reason, and how many people in the Immortal Spirit Realm knew him? On the contrary, after transforming his appearance, he might be counterproductive.

He never expected that he could meet Amu'er, who had a deep memory of him, in the vast sea of people…

Although Li Yan's heart sank, he still saw in Yuan Zhen's memory that a team of "Luogu City" cultivators had not returned and had been missing for a long time.

Yuan Zhen even suspected that something might have happened to this team? He had already planned to send people out to find this team, but it was temporarily shelved because the scope was too wide.

This team had a total of six people, five Transformation God Realm disciples, and one Nascent Soul Realm elder. With such strength walking in the Immortal Spirit Realm, Li Yan also felt that accidents would indeed happen.

And Li Yan accidentally discovered from Yuan Zhen's memory that the direction this missing team was investigating was heading east.

And that direction was the direction Li Yan himself had come from. Li Yan's heart suddenly contracted when he saw this news.

"They better all be really dead!"

This was what Li Yan wanted to see the most. This team that was inquiring about news was very likely to find his traces.

But the process was certainly not too easy. Those places where teleportation arrays are rented would not easily reveal other people's information.

Since someone came to inquire about other people's news, either the two sides were involved, or there was a great feud.

After figuring out the foundation of both sides, this kind of sect that opens the door to do business would not be willing to easily get involved in either side's affairs.

In order to avoid bringing endless trouble to themselves or the sect, or even death!

And Li Yan felt that when he entered some places with teleportation arrays, there was a surge of people, and those people might not be able to remember him.

At the beginning, after leaving the Nether Sect, he didn't want people to easily know where he was going. It was only after flying too far that he chose a market to rent a teleportation array.

That place had already left the sphere of influence of the Nether Sect. All of this was due to Li Yan's caution.

Even if the other party could find that first market, they might still lose the clues, and it would not be easy to find him later.

Especially in the Nether Sect, among the thousands of disciples, there were very few people who knew him.

Even if it was the ghost domain training cultivators he brought out, there were only a few dozen people…

However, this was just him willing to think in a good way. Li Yan still knew that this team was very likely to find some clues about him.

This kind of thinking can only make him feel comforted, but it can't really make him feel at ease!

Li Yan has always strived for perfection in his actions. Even if the probability of something happening is very small, he must determine or solve the matter later.

Li Yan didn't feel any annoyance about this. He wasn't a real god, so he would definitely leave corresponding traces when doing things. Plans were constantly emerging in his mind.

Soon after, "Yuan Zhen" walked out of Elder Lin's courtyard, and then flew to his own courtyard in the sect.

His speed was very fast, and he quickly entered the courtyard. Then, he took out two sound transmission symbols from his storage ring. He first whispered a few words to the other one, and then threw it out…

Soon after, a middle-aged man appeared outside the courtyard. As soon as he stood at the door, he immediately bowed respectfully to the courtyard door.

"Disciple Du Shishan pays respects to the Supreme Elder!"

"Come in!"

As a voice rang out, the courtyard door quietly opened without a sound.
