Xiuxian: Start with the medicine boy

Chapter 1955 Pursuit, Void Escape Talisman

Seeing this scene,

The half-saints from the cultivators' association inside the array's light barrier were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

For a moment, no one spoke.

After a long while, one of the half-saints finally came to his senses and exclaimed in disbelief:

"What... what kind of method is this?"

They were able to ignore the array we had jointly set up and escape with ease.

That's absolutely impossible!

"I sensed a faint spatial fluctuation."

It must be some kind of top-tier spatial secret technique?

Or perhaps it's a rare spatial-type supernatural power!

The other half-saint frowned, carefully sensing the residual fluctuations in the air, and said in a solemn tone,

"If that's the case, even if we locate him again and try to stop him, it will be almost impossible."

After all, spatial techniques are too mysterious and elusive.

"yes!

Such spatial techniques were extremely rare, even in ancient times!

How could the Tai Zun Holy Teachings have such a lineage?

"Could it be that we underestimated the profound strength of the [Tai Zun Holy Sect]?"

They actually had such a trump card hidden away?

The group of semi-saints began to discuss among themselves, their voices filled with shock and confusion.

The confidence and composure that had been on their faces had vanished, replaced by a look of solemnity.

If they cannot capture this Supreme Elder, they will not only fail to gain substantial military merits,

I can't even explain this to the president.

They might even be punished.

now,

A thoughtful look flashed in the eyes of the Blazing Sun Half-Venerable. His brows furrowed slightly, and his fingers unconsciously stroked his chin, as if he had thought of something.

Noticing the unusual behavior of the Blazing Sun Half-Saint, one of the Half-Saints immediately asked:

"Fellow Daoist Chiyang, you are well-read, have you made any discoveries?"

at the same time,

The gazes of the other half-saints also fell upon the Blazing Sun Half-Saint, their eyes filled with anticipation and hope.

They all knew that the Blazing Sun Half-Saint was knowledgeable and might be able to solve this mystery.

see,

The Half-Saint of Blazing Sun did not hide anything and slowly spoke, revealing his guess:

"Fellow Daoists, just now I suddenly remembered a peerless and elegant demon lord from the ancient times of the [Supreme Venerable Sect]."

This demon lord, known as the "Unlawful Demon Lord," is a rare genius in the art of talismans, possessing extraordinary talent and unparalleled brilliance.

His mastery of talismans was virtually unmatched.

"This Demon Lord of No Law is a prodigy. He not only created a third-tier talisman, the Shadowless Escape Talisman, during his Foundation Establishment stage, but also concealed his figure and evaded detection."

Even at the Golden Core stage, he created the [Void Escape Talisman], which allows him to travel short distances through the void;

Most incredibly, at the Nascent Soul stage, he created the [Void Escape Talisman] with his unparalleled talent. This talisman is extremely powerful, capable of tearing through the void and ignoring most spatial sealing formations.

Even a trap set up by a half-saint can be easily penetrated.

Ordinary half-saints would be utterly unable to stop it.

"Unfortunately, the heavens are jealous of talent. This Demon Lord of No Way was later poisoned and ambushed. Outnumbered, he perished at a young age."

This also led to the extinction of the three great runes created by the Demon Lord, and no one has been able to refine them since.

Unexpectedly, I've encountered a technique similar to the [Void Escape Talisman] here today.

The tone of the half-saint of Blazing Sun carried a hint of regret.

"Otherwise, with the unparalleled talent of the Unruly Demon Lord, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future will definitely not be a difficult task."

He might even become a legend in the world of cultivation.

Upon hearing this, one of the semi-saints immediately realized something, a look of sudden understanding flashing in his eyes. He quickly asked:

"Fellow Daoist Chiyang, do you mean the methods used by the Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect] just now?"

It's not some kind of spatial secret technique.

It's not a spatial supernatural power either.

Or was it the [Void Escape Talisman] left behind by the Unruly Demon Lord?

"Not bad!"

The Blazing Sun Half-Venerable nodded and said with certainty,

"Have you ever heard of the [Tai Zun Holy Sect] having a spatial-type inheritance?"

It should be understood that spatial techniques have not been completely passed down in this realm.

Not to mention spatial supernatural powers,

Such supernatural powers are extremely precious even in the upper realm.

It is by no means something that ordinary forces can possess.

Moreover.

Even if the [Supreme Venerable Sect] is deeply hidden, if it possesses such a legacy, it's impossible that not a single rumor would have escaped its notice.

"Of course, the above are merely my humble opinions, offered for your reference only."

The specific methods used still need further confirmation.

Chiyang Banzun added, his tone still humble.

"That's very likely!"

A half-saint quickly echoed,

"The method used by the Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect] just now was extremely fast and could ignore the array's sealing effect. It's exactly the same as the [Void Escape Talisman] you mentioned."

It's highly likely that this is the [Void Escape Talisman] left behind by the Unruly Demon Lord.

"Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Chiyang is here."

otherwise,

Even if we see this method, we won't be able to understand its details.

I have no idea how to deal with it.

"As expected of someone known as a 'living encyclopedia,' our knowledge is far inferior to that of Fellow Daoist Chiyang, and we are simply far behind."

The group of half-saints exclaimed in admiration, their gazes toward Blazing Sun Half-Saint filled with respect.

The previous anxiety and tension have dissipated considerably at this moment.

Now that they knew the other party's methods, they had a way to deal with them.

"Alright, fellow Daoists, let's get back to the main topic."

The Blazing Sun Half-Saint waved his hand, his tone becoming solemn.

"Now that we know he used the [Void Escape Talisman], we don't need to worry too much."

The [Void Escape Talisman] is powerful, but extremely difficult to craft. Even in ancient times, the Demon Lord of No Law may not have been able to create many.

It seems that this Supreme Elder has very little left.

We'll continue the pursuit. Once we exhaust his remaining [Escape Talismans], we'll capture him sooner or later.

"After dealing with this fiend, our mission to capture the heretics will be almost complete."

"At that time, we can also rush to the front lines as soon as possible to participate in the decisive battle between the two races, accumulate more merits, and strive to stand out in the final battle."

"Not bad!"

Everyone nodded, their fighting spirit rekindled.

"The longer we delay, the more likely unforeseen changes will occur. We should pursue them as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications."

"rational!"

Another half-saint spoke, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"However, I am somewhat curious about how many [Void Escape Talismans] the Unruly Demon Lord actually left behind back then?"

If this Supreme Elder still has quite a few left, then our pursuit will likely become extremely difficult.

"No one can say for sure, we can only take it one step at a time."

The Blazing Sun Half-Saint shook his head.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time. Let's set off as soon as possible and continue the pursuit!"

The voice has not fallen,

The group of half-saints cast a series of hand seals, dispelling the "Demon-Suppressing and Trapping Array" that covered the canyon.

As the formation dissipated, the fluctuations in spiritual energy in the air gradually subsided.

Subsequently, instead of boarding a warship, they transformed into streaks of light and vanished rapidly into the horizon, chasing after the direction in which the Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect] had fled.

One hour later...

Tens of thousands of miles away from that canyon, a desolate land.

Here, nothing grows, yellow sand fills the sky, the wind howls, and a deathly stillness permeates the air, with no sign of life.

suddenly,

One after another, figures appeared out of thin air; they were the pursuing Half-Saints from the Cultivator Association.

They instantly surrounded the gray figure, releasing all their energy to form an invisible pressure that firmly locked onto the opponent.

Trapped at the center was none other than the Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect].

At this moment, his face remained gloomy, and the gray spiritual energy around him had become somewhat disordered.

Obviously,

Continuous use of the [Void Escape Talisman] also greatly depleted his resources.

Deep in his eyes, a trace of weariness and anxiety was still hidden.

"Fellow Daoist, stop making futile struggles!"

The Half-Saint of Blazing Sun spoke, his tone calm, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"You probably don't have many [Escape Talismans] left. Even if you try to escape, you won't escape our grasp."

"It would be better to surrender and hand over the sect's resources; there's still a chance of survival."

"Excellent! Fellow Daoist, you should surrender!"

Another half-saint said in a deep voice,

"Stubborn resistance will only increase casualties; surrender is your only way out."

"···"

The group of semi-saints spoke up, urging the Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect] to surrender, their tone laced with persuasion.

It also carried a hint of threat.

this moment,

The members of the Cultivator Association, all of them at the half-saint level, kept their auras locked tightly on the grim-faced Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect], not daring to relax their vigilance for the slightest chance to prevent him from escaping again using the [Void Escape Talisman].

Or do something extreme.

And it was at this moment...

The Blazing Sun Half-Venerable glanced at the desolate land around him, then with a slight turn of his wrist, a jade talisman gleaming with a faint golden light instantly appeared in his palm.

The jade talisman was covered with profound runes, and it was surrounded by a vast and powerful aura of spiritual energy.

That fluctuation contained a chilling power.

Even a mere wisp of energy caused the surrounding void to tremble slightly.

Even the group of half-saints felt a sense of pressure.

At that very moment, the Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect], who was trapped in the center, immediately sensed a deadly threat from the jade talisman in the palm of the Blazing Sun Half-Venerable.

The threat was like a sword hanging over his head, making him stiffen. His spiritual energy instantly stopped, and a look of disbelief and overwhelming fear flashed in his eyes.

He could clearly sense that this jade talisman contained a power far exceeding his imagination.

Once it erupts, he will be absolutely unable to withstand it.

Even if they use the [Escape Talisman], they may not be able to escape.

Then,

Then came the familiar voice of the Blazing Sun Half-Venerable, calm in tone yet carrying an undeniable air of authority:

"Fellow Daoist, let's not waste any more time."

This jade talisman was bestowed by the guild master. It contains the terrifying power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and its immense power is enough to easily kill a half-Venerable.

Even if you merge with the space itself, you will inevitably be reduced to ashes and your soul scattered by this attack.

There will absolutely not be a second outcome.

"Fellow Daoist, please think it over carefully."

The answer is to surrender, hand over the sect's secrets, and leave a way out.

Whether you resist stubbornly and are killed by the jade talisman, ending up dead and vanished, is entirely up to you.

With this remark,

The Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect] trembled slightly, his face growing paler. Despite his disbelief and resentment, his intuition told him that what the Half-Venerable Blazing Sun had said was true!

This jade talisman indeed contains the terrifying power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even if he uses the few remaining [Escape Talismans], he will inevitably die and perish without any chance of survival.

"I refuse to believe there is no way out!"

The Supreme Elder roared inwardly, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes.

Obviously.

He was unwilling to surrender so easily.

Unwilling to let the ancient foundation of the [Tai Zun Holy Sect] fall into the hands of the Cultivator Association.

For a time,

The origins and uses of various treasures flashed through his mind like fleeting shadows.

He desperately tried to recall what he had found, hoping to discover a treasure that could rival the jade talisman and find a way to survive.

In the end, however, he still despaired.

He discovered that those top-tier treasures capable of rivaling the jade talisman had all been destroyed in the battle where he ambushed the president of the Cultivator Association.

Currently, the entire foundation of the [Tai Zun Holy Sect] is completely devoid of any treasures that can rival this jade talisman.

Even if he had other trump cards, they would be utterly ineffective against the terrifying attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Thinking of this,

A deep struggle flashed in the old man's eyes; he was wrestling fiercely within himself.

"Does this person really intend to hand over their own destiny to others?"

"Does this mean I must truly abandon the ancient foundation of the [Supreme Venerable Sect] and surrender without resistance?"

He was unwilling to accept it, but he was helpless.

The threat of death clung to him like a leech, impossible for him to ignore.

same,

The members of the Cultivator Association, all of whom were half-saints, did not take any initiative.

He didn't say anything more.

She simply stared at him coldly, her aura still tightly locked onto him, her expression solemn, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

The reason they didn't make a move was twofold: firstly, the jade talisman bestowed by the guild leader was far too precious, containing the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator's attack.

If you can avoid using it, it's best not to.

Who knows, I might be able to use this jade talisman to save my life someday;

Secondly, it's because the power of the jade talisman is simply too terrifying.

Once it erupts, the collision of spiritual energy will be incredibly powerful. They are too close to the Supreme Elder; if they are not careful, they could very well be caught in the blast.

Even if they don't die, they will be severely injured;

Thirdly, no one knows whether the Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect] possesses any treasures capable of mutual destruction.

If we push him to the brink, and he decides to perish along with several half-saints, that would be far too unwise.

This is also the fundamental reason why the other half-saints did not force him.

They are waiting, waiting for him to make a decision.

Wait until he surrenders.

However, when they noticed the flicker of struggle in the eyes of the Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect]...

The group of semi-saints all understood.

The worst-case scenario will not occur.
