Jiang Fan, who left Zhenbeiguan, galloped all the way and finally arrived at the edge of the dark forest not long after.
The dark forest is shrouded in fog all year round. The trees here tower into the clouds and their branches intertwine, forming a dark and airtight environment.
Even during the day, it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate the dense canopy, let alone now that it is night. The forest in front of him gave Jiang Fan a feeling of endless darkness, mysterious and dangerous.
"Master, it seems that the dark forest is more dangerous than I imagined..." Jiang Fan stared at the vast forest and sighed.
Ji Yue didn't answer, silently listening to Jiang Fan talking to himself, as if she had discovered something.
At this time, Xiang Yunling's invitation flashed in Jiang Fan's mind. If you had just agreed to Xiang Yunling's suggestion and continued marching tomorrow, your view would be better, and you might be able to enjoy a good meal in the military camp at this moment.
"Suddenly I feel hungry..." Thinking of this, Jiang Fan's stomach couldn't help but make a growling sound.
However, as soon as Jiang Fan finished speaking, Ji Yue's urgent urging came to his ears: "Boy! Stop dawdling outside! Hurry in! There are dozens of monks' auras approaching quickly from behind!"
"Close to me?" Jiang Fan was shocked after hearing this, and suddenly realized: "Could it be those people from the Xuantian Sect?"
Out of trust in his master Ji Yue, Jiang Fan quickly walked towards the depths of the dark forest without having time to think.
However, not long after Jiang Fan stepped into the dark forest, dozens of black shadows quickly entered the forest, as if they had grasped Jiang Fan's exact location and pursued him without stopping.
In this dark forest, a tense chase scene immediately unfolds...
Jiang Fan's heart was full of depression, but he had no extra time to think, so he could only run hard into the depths.
However, the chase ended quickly as soon as it started, because Jiang Fan had been overtaken by an old guy...
"Ji Fan! Take your life!"
In the dark forest, the roar of Ge Tianqi, the great elder of Xuantian Sect, could be heard.
"Master! Help me quickly! Get on top of me!"
Facing Ge Tianqi's fierce palm, Jiang Fan felt a chill in his back. He firmly believed that this palm would almost kill him, and he quickly subconsciously asked Ji Yue for help.
"boom!"
With a violent collision, Jiang Fan clenched the black sword in his hand and knocked Ge Tianqi back several steps with one strike, but Jiang Fan himself was unscathed.
"What!"
Seeing the shocking scene in front of him, Ge Tianqi frowned and the expression on his face became solemn.
Although he did not attack with all his strength before and wanted to stay alive, he was a monk in the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Soul Realm after all. How could he be repelled by a young boy in the early stage of the Spiritual Spring Realm.
After a moment, Ge Tianqi seemed to suddenly realize it and laughed loudly: "This black sword is really extraordinary, it can actually block my palm."
"Haha! What a sword! I won't be polite today!" Ge Tianqi laughed.
"What a beautiful idea!" Jiang Fan snorted and responded disdainfully.
At the same time, there was a hissing sound in the woods...
"Whoosh!"
Immediately afterwards, dozens of black shadows rushed over, tightly surrounding Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan held the black sword tightly, looked around vigilantly, and sighed in his heart: "It seems that it is really difficult to escape unscathed today, but how does this old guy know so much about my escape direction?"
"Elder Ge, it has to be you! You caught up with this kid so easily." Yao Tianlang, the fourth elder of Xuantian Sect, stepped forward quickly and flattered Ge Tianqi.
"Haha! Elder Yao is so grateful. If you let this young boy escape, where will you put my face?" Ge Tianqi laughed, as if Jiang Fan was already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
As the elder with the highest cultivation level in the team, Ge Tianqi was naturally the first to catch up with Jiang Fan, while Yao Tianlang and others arrived later.
However, Yao Tianlang's cultivation is in the middle stage of the spiritual realm, and he should not be so far behind... Presumably, only Yao Tianlang himself knows the reason.
"Hey! Old guy, how do you know I'm here?"
Facing the upcoming battle, Jiang Fan naturally wanted to understand the situation first. Otherwise, if you have a chance to escape after waiting for a while, you will be chased by the opponent again without knowing the reason.
Faced with Jiang Fan's questioning, Ge Tianqi did not hide anything, but said bluntly: "Since you are destined to be unable to escape, I don't need to hide anything. With the pill on your body, no matter where you hide, I will be able to hide." I can find you!"
Jiang Fan frowned: "Are you talking about the violent beast blood pill?"
Ge Tianqi continued: "I have a habit of marking third-grade and above elixirs with a soul mark. But I didn't expect that the violent beast blood elixir I gave Mushan was taken by you before Mushan even took it. Taken away.”
"Haha! I didn't expect this little soul mark to be of great use!" Ge Tianqi laughed wildly.
"Soul mark? Master, what is this?" Jiang Fan was a little confused.
"Soul mark is when monks in the soul realm mark their soul power on treasures, elixirs and other objects, so as to sense it." Ji Yue explained calmly.
"Although this princess has recovered to the perfect strength of the Soul Realm, it is still difficult to detect the soul marks marked by monks of equal strength, unless there is a huge disparity in strength between the two parties." Ji Yue added.
"It turns out that this old guy has discovered my traces since the day he left the palace..."
In order to avoid being discovered by Xuantian Sect's people as much as possible, Jiang Fan specially disguised himself along the way and blended in among the thousands of cavalry soldiers. Thinking of this, Jiang Fan couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"Boy! If you are about to die, if you have anything else you want to ask, you might as well say it, and I will let you understand!" Ge Tianqi pretended to be kind and shouted to Jiang Fan.
Ge Tianqi's shout instantly pulled Jiang Fan out of his thoughts, and he began to think quickly: "No! We must find a way immediately, otherwise we will really die here today."
How could Jiang Fan not understand that the other party would definitely not bother so much just because of a Mushan, and would definitely be interested in the treasures on his body.
The Xuantian Sect, which had previously helped Ziyang City cannibalize the Qin family for profit, had never been an upright sect in Jiang Fan's eyes, but more like an evil sect.
"Master? Do you have any clever tricks?" Jiang Fan asked his master Ji Yue while thinking.
"There is a clever trick." Ji Yue replied calmly.
"Master, what is it? Please tell me quickly!" Jiang Fan asked urgently, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
"This is the princess who abandons you and then escapes with her own life, so that I can hope to escape."
Ji Yue said lightly, as if she didn't care too much about it, or in other words, she didn't attach much importance to Jiang Fan's life.
"Okay! Master, just pretend that I didn't ask." Jiang Fan felt a chill in his heart and thought to himself: "Master probably won't really abandon me. Didn't she say before that only my body can contain her soul?"
"However, Master's strength has now returned to the Great Perfection of the Soul Realm. Will she be able to survive without me..." Jiang Fan did not dare to continue thinking, because such thoughts made him feel scared.
However, Jiang Fan didn't know that Ji Yue was equally anxious at the moment. She was also thinking with all her strength, but she just didn't show her inner uneasiness.
"Why is this kid so unlucky! If he is not lucky today, he and I may really die here..." Ji Yue complained in her heart.
If she only faced the Great Elder Ge Tianqi, she would have absolute confidence to escape from this place, but there was also the Fourth Elder Yao Tianlang with a high level of cultivation beside her, as well as dozens of Xuantian Sect disciples at the Spiritual Pill Realm and Spiritual Spring Realm.
In addition, Ji Yue is only a soul body at the moment. Even if the power of the soul is restored to the perfection of the soul realm, it will not last for long. This is completely different from having a physical body.
Otherwise, she would not have been unable to discover the soul mark that Ge Tianqi marked on the elixir.
Unless she burns all her spiritual power, her soul will be annihilated and she will never be reincarnated. In this way, Jiang Fan might really be able to escape from this place.
However, Ji Yue couldn't do it at the moment to trade her eternal death for the survival of a brat. Especially since I was a little angry some time ago, and my anger has not gone away yet!
"Forget it, let me take him down!"
Seeing Jiang Fan's delay in responding, Ge Tianqi seemed to have lost his patience and began to issue orders to his disciples.
At this moment, Jiang Fan discovered a familiar face among the crowd of Xuantian Sect disciples.
Recalling that at the Tianjiao Conference, the other party did not reveal his identity, and the two elders of Xuantian Sect had evil intentions, Jiang Fan began to doubt whether the relationship between them was really strong.
At this critical moment, Jiang Fan decided to take a gamble!
"Chu Yan! Why are you here?"
"I didn't expect that we would meet again after we said goodbye to each other in Ziyang City that day!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Fan deliberately raised his voice for fear that the people around him wouldn't hear.
Chu Yan's head tightened in the center of the crowd, and he quickly looked to his master Yao Tianlang aside, hoping to get help.
At the same time, upon hearing Jiang Fan's words, the Great Elder Ge Tianqi frowned. He hurriedly raised his hand to signal the disciples who were preparing to subdue Jiang Fan to stop: "Wait!"
At this time, Jiang Fan was already a trapped fish, but now that he knew Chu Yan, things became complicated. With the temperament of the Great Elder Ge Tianqi, it is obvious that the people below cannot hide anything from him.
At the same time, the fourth elder Yao Tianlang's heart trembled. He winked at Chu Yan and signaled him to act quickly.
Chu Yan was well aware of his master's temper, so he took out a long sword from his storage bag without hesitation, and then jumped towards Jiang Fan.
"Boy, you are seeking death!"
However, Chu Yan did not know about the previous fight between the Great Elder and Jiang Fan...
Although Chu Yan was present at the Tianjiao Conference, he attributed Jiang Fan's victory to that spiritual formation. At the moment, Jiang Fan did not have time to construct that spiritual formation, so naturally he could not be his opponent.
Because his emotions went to his head, Chu Yan seemed to have forgotten that he seemed to have not sensed Jiang Fan's cultivation at this moment. There are only two possibilities for this situation, either the other party is a mortal with no cultivation, or a person with far-reaching cultivation. A monk who is higher than himself.
"Hmph! Since you dare to hide it from me, let your apprentice apologize first!" At this time, a sinister smile appeared on Ge Tianqi's lips.
As for the fourth elder Yao Tianlang, he never thought that the sect's great elder would be so insidious to him...
