Chapter 710: Chapter 504: Attacked on the Way

Lan Ji quickly contacted Wu the Taoist.

Wu the Taoist has now become fashionable, using a smartphone, wearing a suit, and even video chatting with Li Yi.

"Taiyi, please wait, I will come over shortly. I have some matters to deal with here; it’s about Xuan Yuezi," Wu the Taoist said.

Li Yi immediately asked, "Xuan Yuezi? She’s at the Golden Academy?"

"Yes, she had a battle with an evil object from the Dark World in Tianzhong City. Although she managed to escape, she was still corrupted by the darkness, a Mana Flower has turned black, and the pollution continues to get worse. If even the Primordial Spirit Flower turns black, she will fall and become an Evil God, and by then, even the Taoist might be killed."

Wu the Taoist appeared troubled, using his phone to show a corner inside the hall.

Xuan Yuezi at this moment emitted black energy, surrounded by cosmic energy coalescing into Dragon and Tiger Energy, trying to cleanse the dark forces, but this only treated the symptoms. Her body was already contaminated, with the Mana Flower turning black. If a good method isn’t found, and her Primordial Spirit Flower gets affected by the dark forces, she will lose her mind and transform into an Evil God.

Wu the Taoist was also performing Daoist skills, collecting spiritual energy from heaven and earth, forming a grand array, refining the black energy, resisting evil forces, helping Xuan Yuezi stabilize her mind and prevent her from falling.

But even so, it can only barely maintain balance.

If Wu the Taoist were to leave, the dark aura would quickly spread, and no one knows what Xuan Yuezi would become.

"Is the Evil God in the Dark World really so terrifying, even able to corrupt a Tri-Floral Realm Immortal?"

Li Yi’s expression changed, but he quickly thought of the World Dragon. That dragon was also powerful but ended up trapped in a secret realm.

"What a pity, Senior Cang Erzi is not here. After he nearly recovered his strength some time ago, he went to Xuanxian Continent, claiming to slay an Immortal and seize some opportunities. If Senior Cang Erzi were here, his Slaying Three Flowers technique might rescue Xuan Yuezi." Wu the Taoist lamented.

"Perhaps this is Xuan Yuezi’s calamity, as her life span was near its end initially, and death was imminent. Taiyi, you helped her change fate, extend her life, and reopen the two flowers. Such fortune is not tolerated by heaven and earth, encountering calamities is normal. If Xuan Yuezi survives this ordeal, she will surely achieve Three Flowers Gather at the Top and Five Qi Chaoyuan in the future." Wu the Taoist sensed some Dao indications, perceiving the essence.

Otherwise, why would Li Yi, a Five Qi Realm person, safely leave the Dark World while Xuan Yuezi, a Tri-Floral Realm cultivation expert, encounters such great difficulty?

This is completely irrational.

And cultivators really believe in destiny; there are no disasters without reason, everything is due to destiny.

"There is no such thing as destiny, just bad luck for the Immortal. Senior Wu, I will handle the affairs in Tianchang City. You need not worry, just focus on protecting the Immortal. I will send a Golden Apple through Good Wings; this object can dispel curses and fight darkness, it may be useful."

Li Yi thought he couldn’t just stand by. He retrieved a Golden Apple from the Five Elements Bracelet and summoned Good Wings.

"Deliver this to the Golden Academy. Remember, only give it to Senior Wu, no one else should receive it before him. If someone tries to stop you, run if you can’t win, fight if you can."

After some instructions.

Good Wings placed the Golden Apple inside its own storage magical artifact, nodded, and let out a loud cry. Its massive body was elevated by mana and lifted slowly into the sky.

"Go." Li Yi waved.

In the next moment.

Good Wings flapped its wings, stirring up a gale before turning into a golden light flying toward the Golden Academy.

"What incredible speed, terrifying Qi-Blood, this mutant beast is even more powerful than Niu Niu." At this moment, Master Zhao Ge glanced and was very shocked.

If this mutant beast were an enemy, even as a Martial Artist in the Gang Refining Realm, he wouldn’t have the chance to fight back, he’d be killed instantly.

"Good Wings is already in the Golden Core Stage, its intelligence surpasses ordinary humans, moreover, it’s a wilderness mutant species. Cultivators without Nascent Soul Realm cultivation can’t contend with it, and it’s still in its juvenile phase. Once it matures, its strength will grow further; this is a bloodline advantage that even I envy," Li Yi said.

"Understood, this is what’s meant by ’dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes.’" Zhao Ge said.

However, as they spoke, suddenly above Tianchang City, a green sword light emerged abruptly. The sword light was enormous, illuminating the city upon appearance, and its speed was incredible, immediately surpassing Good Wings, which had just flown out of the city.

Good Wings sensed the danger, flapping to dodge, its figure casting countless afterimages in the sky. But the green sword light was exceptional, relentlessly pursuing Good Wings.

After a few seconds, Good Wings was defeated, its massive body penetrated by the green golden light, crying out as it fell from the sky.

"What?"

This scene caught Li Yi by surprise, there was a moment of shock.

Initially, Good Wings was escorting the Golden Apple safely, no one expected a sudden attack.

"That is..."

Then, Li Yi noticed a few escaping lights appear in the sky above the city, heading straight to the place where Good Wings had fallen.

"Li Yi, it’s the cultivators from the Floating Immortal Island." Zheng Gong beside him suddenly said, "The people from the Floating Immortal Island have occupied the skies of Tianchang City. Anything passing through the city’s sky they will ruthlessly kill or shoot down. It’s bad, they’ve targeted Good Wings."

"Courting death." Li Yi was somewhat enraged at this moment.

He did not actively attack the people of the Floating Immortal Island, but sent Good Wings to escort the Golden Apple to aid the injured Xuan Yuezi. He never expected the other party to be so domineering, to strike merely for flying by.

Moreover, this doesn’t seem like a sudden act, but rather like something premeditated.

Because Good Wings flies so fast, almost faster than the Nascent Soul cultivator’s Sword Flight, if it hadn’t been arranged in advance, how could they intercept and kill so swiftly and precisely?

Immediately, a crimson cloud rose beneath Li Yi’s feet.

"Meng De, calm down." Zhao Ge grabbed his hand and shouted: "The other party might have intended to provoke you into action."

"Master, others have come to bully us, if we don’t respond, they’ll only become more reckless, and Good Wings’ life and death relate to another person’s safety, we can’t ignore it. Master, you also said, martial artists fear not death."

Li Yi finished speaking, broke free from Zhao Ge’s restraint, then performed a spell and used the Wall-Piercing Technique to walk through walls directly. After leaving the building, the crimson cloud soared into the sky, dragging Tong Yuang and flew toward the direction where Good Wings had fallen.

"Brother Yi, be careful." Zhao Qian shouted urgently.

"These cultivators indeed act domineeringly. Meng De’s Good Wings was registered with the Investigation Bureau, it’s a mutant beast that guards this city, not a Transcendent creature from a danger zone. The other party attacks now, obviously targeting Meng De; Meng De is right, if we don’t respond, we’ll be cowards, and Good Wings will die in vain." Zhao Ge’s face also sank at this moment, his fists clenched tightly.

He once again felt the meaning of ’survival of the fittest.’

The world has always been like this, it was the same back in the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

Hateful, his fists are useless, unable to fight strong enemies.

"I must return to the Investigation Bureau quickly; if Li Yi makes a move, I’m afraid it will cause a big commotion. Cousin, stay here and don’t wander around." Zheng Gong felt things were getting troublesome too, he gave an order then immediately turned around and left the building, he didn’t drive but quickly sped towards the Investigation Bureau on foot.

He was extremely fast, traversing through the city like a ghost.

This is the Divine Movement Technique.

A technique already made public, anyone can cultivate it; it depends on how well you learn it.

Meanwhile.

Outside Tianchang City.

"Boom!"

A huge crash sounded, Good Wings fell from high above, creating a large pit, splashing dust, as it lay motionless in the middle of the pit, seemingly heavily injured and in a coma.

Moments after Good Wings fell.

Three figures emerged from the Floating Immortal Island and came together, now standing in the air, looking down at the unconscious Good Wings, emitting a few strands of cold laughter.

"What a fine mutant beast, it’s cultivated to the Golden Core Stage, and has exceptional talent and extraordinary bloodline. If not for the Floating Immortal Island’s Blue Light Sword Array, it surely couldn’t have been intercepted; you saw its speed, absurdly fast, even if it spread its wings, we Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn’t catch up."

A man in magnificent clothing stood in the air at this moment, scrutinizing that mutant beast, golden all over, with silver wings on its back.

"Is the information accurate? Was that man who came to Tianchang City today really Li Yi? That great enemy wanted by multiple Immortal Sects?" Beside him, an older Daoist gripping his beard asked uncertainly.

"It’s definitely confirmed, today we’ll first hunt his mount, weaken part of his power, and if he comes for revenge, so much the better; we use this chance to spark a conflict, kill him, and take his head back to the Xuanxian Continent for the reward. Those Immortal Sects have offered a hefty bounty for him, three top-grade treasures, plus a scroll of cultivation technique to the Mahayana Realm." The man in magnificent clothing’s eyes flickered: "Our Floating Immortal Island, if we seize this opportunity, will have limitless prospects."

"Two senior brothers, it seems Li Yi has arrived." The last Nascent Soul female cultivator swept her Divine Sense around and instantly noticed Li Yi’s activity.

"No rush, let me decapitate this mutant beast first." At this moment, the man in magnificent clothing moved his Divine Thought, and suddenly a flying sword shot out, heading straight for Good Wings.

One would think Good Wings lying in the pit was heavily injured and passed out, yet unexpectedly it suddenly opened its eyes at that moment, with a loud cry, showing agility despite its massive body, instantly rolling up a whirlwind and thunder, then lifted its huge beak, knocking on that flying sword.

The flying sword of top-grade spiritual artifact level was immediately knocked back several meters.

"Damn it, this beast is fine, it’s feigning death." The man in magnificent clothing was instantly shocked and furious.

Didn’t think Good Wings was so extraordinary, even after enduring the Blue Light Sword Array it wasn’t killed, and still has strength to fight back.

Trying to make a move again.

But the chance was gone.

Borrowing the whirlwind and thunder, Good Wings quickly retreated, reuniting with Li Yi, fierce light flashing in its eyes, intending to join forces to fight the three enemies ahead.

"Good bird, knowing to pretend dead to deceive them, it’s a pity there are many opponents, otherwise a Nascent Soul cultivator alone certainly couldn’t take you."

At this moment, Li Yi arrived riding on the crimson cloud, he shouted, his powerful Qi-Blood accompanied by thunderous sounds rolled out, his whole body’s aura emanating, seemingly enveloped in silver flames, glancing around, lightning intertwined.

Just the release of aura made the minds of these three Nascent Soul cultivators sink.

This Li Yi being hunted, seems even stronger than imagined.

The intelligence indicated he was only at the Spirit Power Realm?

A Spirit Power Realm Evolver, at most should have the strength of the Golden Core Stage, why does this person not feel right, and those silver vertical pupils exude killing intent, as if they see them as prey.
