Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 388 - 190: Three-colored Mask

The old man used Blood Escaping to save his life, consuming his essence and blood,

Chen Yi burned through high-tier pills, and he did not even resort to his favored Vajra Eight Steps,

In just over a quarter of an hour,

He cornered that old man.

After Old Man Chen had fled dozens of miles, he felt that his Vitality and Blood were depleted and his steps unstable,

If he kept running, he wouldn't need another's hand to kill him--he would exhaust his essence and blood and die on his own,

With no options left, he used a Secret Skill to cloak his entire Vitality, then hid inside a sea cave beneath a reef, hoping Chen Yi wouldn't find him.

Yet, even though he had concealed his Spiritual Light, Chen Yi, guided by the purple sand mink, accurately found the reef where the old man was hiding at the last moment.

Chen Yi, whose Mana was close to that of a late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, took out two Talisman Scrolls—the Thunder Sound Talisman and Blast Stone Talisman, both second-tier upper quality talismans—his most recent successful creations.

BOOM!!

It was as if there was a heavenly thunderclap next to one's ear, a thunderous crack that echoed around the entire reef!

The old man's mind was directly shattered by the shock, completely incapacitated. In his eyes, in his Divine Sense, there was only the echoing roar of thunder.

"Spurt!!"

The old man spit out a mouthful of his scarce remaining fresh blood,

Not even waiting for him to curse!

BOOM!!!

There was another horrifying explosion,

The enormous reef above his head immediately blew apart into countless fragments,

This time, the old man's Vitality and Blood surged backward. He was shaken and convulsed uncontrollably. His eyes shone with a golden light, his Divine Sense in chaos within his body, unable to calm down no matter how hard he tried.

When he regained some awareness, he found a Purple Edge dangerously close to his throat.

Slit--

The old man's head was neatly cut off,

A mask made of three-colored clay slid slowly from his head, and his originally aged face revealed an even older appearance.

The Thunder Sound Talisman and the Blast Stone Talisman were both derived from powerful high-level talismans in the ancient talisman heritage of the Martial World by Chen Yi,

But they were the most appropriate at this moment,

Directly rendering the old man, whose Vitality and Blood were already depleted, unconscious. That's when the purple sand mink struck and killed him.

The next moment, a purple shadow flashed by,

The little sand marten respectfully handed Chen Yi a storage bag and a mask made of three-color clay.

When Chen Yi opened the storage bag, he thought he could lay his hands on all the belongings the Lin Family Island had- possessions robbed by the Bandit cultivator,

But he didn't expect to only find ordinary pills and reserves of spirit stones for a late Foundation Establishment cultivator,

This doesn't seem like the wealth of a man who had just robbed an Immortal Cultivation Family at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Chen Yi frowned. There must be some complex situation here.

He looked in the direction where the old man had fled. There was a thin purple-black beam of light showing faintly about a hundred miles away,

Thinking about how the young man had referred to this old man as his second brother,

What if this band of men had an elder brother?

And their goal in coming to Little Cold Peak may not have been robbery. After all, it's not a good idea to raid the territory of the Cold Sword Gate,

Chen Yi speculated,

It's possible they were after him,

To rob him, so they could heal their injured eldest brother,

This seemed most likely.

But now he has killed this second and third brother, the others may not let the matter rest easily. If there was a chance, they might plan to kill him.

Chen Yi was preparing to continue his pursuit in that direction and check their injuries, to see if it was possible to cut the grass and remove the roots,

At this moment,

A blue and a purple Sword Light streaked across the sky, heading directly towards Little Cold Peak.

The elders of the Cold Sword Gate must have received the news,

With no other choice, Chen Yi put away the storage bag and the mask that the purple sand marten had offered, preparing to head back,

However, just as he touched the three-color clay mask, Chen Yi couldn't help but feel his heart jolt,

This thing is not simple!

After Chen Yi touched it, and his Divine Sense gently explored it, he discovered that within the mask, there were extremely profound and complex runes, and it even contained its own space that could absorb Divine Sense!

You couldn't discover its mysteries from outside, and even using Divine Sense didn't reveal anything.

Chen Yi carefully explored the intricate runes within the mask and found that 90% of it was beyond his understanding,

And the part that he could understand contained a simulation, a changing characteristic,

It contained a specific aura unique to Mana, and a hint of the complexion of this old man,

After exploring carefully, Chen Yi found to his surprise that it was the old man's Mana aura! And the complexion was also that of this old man.

This mask seems to be able to change its characteristics at will, mimicking Mana aura and complexion,

And it prevents probing with Divine Sense, almost capable of hiding from someone in the next higher realm.

And those were just a tiny portion of the profound runes Chen Yi found so far!

Chen Yi did not expect such treasures from a bandit cultivator!

This trip is worth it.

...

Chen Yi stored the mask in his storage bag, and then hurried back to Little Cold Peak.

At this time,

A man and a woman, both Pseudo-core cultivators, had already arrived outside Little Cold Peak.

Chen Yi had seen the woman before, tall, thin, with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, and she was heroic.

She was Clear Bamboo True Person of Cold Sword Gate, a Pseudo-core Sword Cultivator, her sword aura remarkably fierce, who had once slain a Great Monster just after it entered the Third Tier.

The male cultivator had purple hair and looked to be in his thirties, he stood tall with narrow eyes,

He stood with his hands behind his back, his rich Pill Power radiating, demonstrating his identity as a Pseudo-core expert,

Clear Bamboo True Person had a lofty status in the Cold Sword Gate, but even in front of this man with purple hair, she held herself slightly off-center,

Her red lips slightly opened, she spoke to Ma Xiaoqiu and Chen Yi who had hurried back:

"Xiao Ma, Xiao Chen, this is True Person Purple Flame from Qinglong Island, who specifically came to our Cold Sword Gate to investigate the matter of bandit cultivators,"
