C57 Successful Escape

"Bang!"

With an explosive sound, Li Yi's figure shot backwards. He stepped on the earth spirit energy under his feet and retreated a dozen steps before stabilizing his body. His face flushed red and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

An Aurous Core stage demon king is really powerful!

Li Yi looked fearfully at the Lava Fire Raven King and summoned his spirit sword that had been knocked away before quickly flying to the exit. He grabbed the two who were still in a daze and slipped out.

As for the disciples that had been guarding the entrance to the Fire Worshipping Sect, they had all run off the moment the Aurous Core stage Lava Raven King appeared.

"..."

"Isn't this the boy who killed the Black Fiend who is at the early Foundation Establishment stage?" "He, he actually blocked an attack from an Aurous Core stage demon king!"

At the entrances to the first and second floor of the Fire Spirit Land, Elder Flame was dumbstruck as he watched Li Yi escape. His eyes were filled with shock.

"This kid is not at the early Foundation Establishment stage, he's at the mid Foundation Establishment stage!" He's hiding his cultivation! "

Shi Gang gritted his teeth as he looked at Li Yi's disappearing figure, "The Sky Spirit Grass was definitely stolen by this brat. I was wondering why he was the first to leave after the previous fight. We've already searched through the second floor, but we didn't find any traces of the pink demoness. Perhaps she was already killed by this kid who was trying to conceal his cultivation! Damn it, to think that I was played around by such a stinking brat. Damn it! "

"Young sect master, now is not the time to talk about this. Once the Aurous Core stage Fire Crow King finishes dealing with that group of rogue cultivators, he'll quickly turn his attention to us." Let's go back to the second floor first. We'll be safe once the Sect Leader arrives. "

The reason why Li Yi was able to withstand the pressure from the aurous core stage Lava Fire Raven King was because his physical body was much stronger than his cultivation level and had already reached the level of an Aurous Core stage cultivator. With the addition of his soul, the pressure from the aurous core stage was weakened to the extreme.

If it were any other mid or late Foundation Establishment cultivators, such as Elder Flame, who was an ordinary late Foundation Establishment cultivator, the pressure of an Aurous Core stage Monster King would be exceptionally embarrassing. It would be pretty good if he could use twenty percent of his abilities!

"This is all we can do now! "Let's go!"

Shi Gang clenched his teeth and stomped his feet. He then led the disciples of the Fire Worshiper Cult back to the first level.

On the other hand, the Lava Raven King, who had been provoked by the three's successful escape, was spewing flames all over the sky. The entire floor was filled with raging flames and the tragic howls of the rogue cultivators before they died.

"..."

"Senior Li, you're too awesome. You can even block the attack of an Aurous Core stage Demonic King!"

After exiting the Fire Spirit Land, Li Yi did not stop even for a second as he brought Liu Zhang and Jing Hao and ran towards the direction of Yue Su City.

Who knew if the Lava Fire Raven King would chase them out of the spirit land, and it would be better to run a bit further.

After flying for a long distance and confirming that the Raven King had indeed not caught up, Li Yi finally let out a sigh of relief.

Faced with Immortal Master Liu's compliment, Li Yi could only bitterly smile. In fact, he had been overestimating himself before, and now, he was definitely unable to contend against an Aurous Core stage expert. Although the Lava Fire Crow King's attack was on him, he had also received an injury.

Besides, the Lava Fire Raven King had only attacked hastily and hadn't used his full strength. Plus, the distance had given him enough time to react, otherwise, he would've been able to withstand it.

"Alright, let's not talk about compliments. I have a mission for you. Are you willing to help me?"

The moment Li Yi finished speaking, Liu Ye and Zhang Su hurriedly patted their chests to express their loyalty: "I'm willing, of course I'm willing! Senior Li, if there's anything you need, please feel free to tell me. As long as it's something the two of us can do, we can definitely go through fire and tread through water, regardless of all costs! "

What a joke, a mere mid Foundation Establishment cultivator was able to withstand a single attack from an Aurous Core stage demon king. Furthermore, he was an elite disciple of the Misty Pavilion, how could he let go of such a good opportunity to curry favor with him?

"That's good. You can simply take this communication jade back to my Misty Pavilion's entrance and hand it over to my master, Great Elder Zhou Tong."

Li Yi took out a blank jade slip from his storage ring and recorded some information within it. Using a restriction technique that Zhou Tong had taught him, he passed it to Immortal Master Liu and also took out a small flying boat and handed it over. "This is a high-grade earth-step treasure, the Cloud Stealing Boat. Although its speed is not particularly fast, it looks like a white cloud to others.

It wasn't that Li Yi didn't have a better flying treasure, but he didn't take it out.

For one, with Liu Zhang and Zhang Yang's cultivations, a high-grade earth-step treasure was already their limit. If their ranks were higher, Li Yi would be worried that the two of them would be tempted to chase away the treasure. Now, it was just right.

Secondly, out of all of Li Yi's flying magical equipment, the most concealed one was the Cloud Contact Boat. Presumably, no one would discover it, as this way, the safety of Liu Zhang and Wang Chao would be guaranteed and Li Yi's transmission jade slip would be safely delivered to Zhou Tong.

"Senior Li, don't worry. We will definitely live up to our expectations and will definitely hand over your transmission jade slip to the Grand Elder!"

Li Yi's promise was no different from a pie falling from the sky to Liu Ye and Liu Yang. Becoming Misty Pavilion's outer disciple only required a simple letter!

If the rogue cultivators in Yue Su City found out about this, they would definitely fight to the death for it. If they gave up on this opportunity, they would really be as stupid as pigs!

Seeing the two of them leaving on the Cloud Stepping Boat, Li Yi also sent a sword light in the direction of Yue Su City.

I wonder how Linglong is doing. With her cultivation, a mere Qi Cultivating Stage Elder Bai shouldn't be a problem, right?

"..."

"Little Yi has been gone for several days. Why isn't he back yet? Did something happen?"

Inside the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion in Yuesu City, Leng Linglong looked outside the meeting room and muttered to herself.

"Don't worry, Linglong. Xiao Yi will definitely be fine. I have confidence in him!"

The one who spoke was Zhao Zilong. Leng Yanran patted on Leng Linglong's shoulder comfortingly.

Previously, when he told Zheng Feng to take the Immortal Crane to the Misty Pavilion in the capital of the Heavenly Wind Empire, Li Yi had thought of it for a moment and gave Zheng Feng a message jade slip. He didn't expect Zheng Feng to meet Zhao Zilong and Leng Yanran, who were currently visiting the capital of the country.

After receiving Li Yi's message jade slip and learning about the drought in Yue Susu City, Zhao Zilong and Leng Yanran rushed to Yue Susu City without a word and found Leng Linglong.

At this time, Leng Linglong had already revealed her identity to the fourth princess, Zhao Miaoxue and Elder Bai. The cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion were all under her control, ensuring that the news wouldn't spread to the Divineflame Sect that they were prepared.

Zhao Miaoxue was quite angry about what had happened in her territory. Her foreign delegates were willing to risk the lives of millions of people for their own interests to conceal the real reason of the drought. Therefore, she strongly supported Leng Linglong's suggestion to deal with the people involved.

Of course, even if she didn't support them, she couldn't do anything about it. The Tianfeng Empire was just one of the countries under the Misty Hall. Although the Fourth Princess had a very high status in the Empire, she had no other choice but to obey when facing the Floating Mist Pavilion's elite disciples and Leng Linglong, the only daughter of the Floating Mist Pavilion's leader.

As for Old Bai, when Leng Linglong revealed her identity and the truth of the drought, he was already half dead from fright.

Furthermore, he was the personal bodyguard of Zhao Miaoxue, the fourth princess. He had been staying in Yuesu City all this time, yet he was completely unaware of such a huge matter, and he still had to wait for Leng Linglong to reveal the truth. This was a very serious crime, he might even be expelled from the Floating Mist Pavilion because of this!

Immediately, Old Bai begged Leng Linglong to give him a chance to perform meritorious deeds, and then he honestly told her everything.

It turned out that after he and the Fourth Princess Zhao Miaoxue had arrived at the Yue Su City, a disciple of the Fire Worshiper Cult had come to visit him. They had given him a large amount of spirit stones and pills at regular intervals, asking him to allow the Fire Worshiper Church to recruit disciples in the Tianfeng Empire.

The Fire Worship Cult was just a third-rate small sect, and its leader was only at the Spirit Severing Stage with thousands of followers. Most of them were low-level Qi Cultivating Stage followers, so it was not a big deal for them to recruit disciples in the Tianfeng Empire.

Moreover, Elder Bai was only an ordinary outer disciple in the Misty Pavilion, and his cultivation resources were not much higher than other outer disciples. Thus, the spirit stones and pills that were given to him were naturally of great interest to him.

In addition, since there hadn't been a drought, Old Bai had been greedy and had accepted the Fire Worship Sect's gift. He had turned a blind eye to the Fire Worship Sect's behavior and had turned a blind eye to it.

Having received the Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills from the Flame Cult, Old Bai naturally didn't pay much attention to what was happening outside. He spent the rest of his time on improving his own cultivation, except for protecting the fourth princess, Zhao Miaoxue.

It was because of these spirit stones and pills that his cultivation rose from Qi Disciple level 6 to Qi Disciple level 10 in a short span of five years.

However, it was also because of this that he didn't go too far to investigate the true cause of the drought. In addition, the Divineflame Sect had specifically sealed off the news, and they had also sent their disciples to the City Lord's Mansion, blocking all possible avenues for Old Bai to unintentionally find out.
