"I, Jiang Hong, will definitely kill you!!!"

When Hu Li heard Jiang Hong's shout, he had already made his decision.

If he doesn't run now, then when?

To make Jiang Hong, a Nascent Soul cultivator, shout with such resentment, what does that indicate?

It indicates that Jiang Hong suffered a huge loss.

Qiu Qianhai was brought in by himself, so no matter what the outcome is, it's likely that once this is over, he himself won't escape death.

Jiang Hong's vengeful nature won't let him go.

So... Run!

With a single thought, he retreated into his Thirty-Six Smokes Array.

The female cultivator from the Wei Family, who was fighting him, saw this and hesitated, not daring to advance.

Once inside that array, without knowing any array-breaking methods, her life would no longer be in her own hands.

Hu Li also expected that she wouldn't dare come in, so as soon as he returned inside the array, he took out two things from his storage bag.

In his left hand, he held a Talisman Treasure.

If Ji Yuan were here, he would have recognized it at once as the Talisman Treasure he had the most of—Sky Raider Shuttle.

Hu Li clearly knew that the Sky Raider Shuttle couldn't be used here, so with his right hand, he took out a small knife.

The silver knife was only palm-sized, its blade not even an inch long, with the rest being the handle.

Hu Li grasped the silver knife in his right hand, injected a bit of spiritual Qi, and began carving array patterns in mid-air. As the array patterns increased, the originally unusable Sky Raider Shuttle gradually began to shine.

He had a way to escape from here, which gave him the confidence to recommend Qiu Qianhai.

In the worst case... just run.

Hasn't he run enough times over the years?

It's reached a point where he's either running or preparing to run.

As more and more array patterns were carved, the silver knife in his hand became increasingly fragile, with visible cracks forming, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Fortunately, the silhouette of a streamlined flying boat had already formed beneath Hu Li's feet.

A few breaths later.

The silver knife in his hand shattered piece by piece.

As Hu Li's heart ached, he looked at the faintly glowing array pattern before him and quickly activated the Sky Raider Shuttle, vanishing from the spot in an instant.

...

Ji Yuan looked at where Jiang Hong had vanished and pondered deeply.

The escape method Jiang Hong used seemed to resemble the Fixed-point Teleportation Order... Just at the last moment before Jiang Hong disappeared, Ji Yuan sensed a familiar aura from him.

That aura was very similar to the one from the Fixed-point Teleportation Order in his own storage bag.

'It's possible. As an ordinary disciple of the Water Dragon Sect, I was able to obtain such a treasure. It's not surprising that Jiang Hong, a Nascent Soul cultivator, has one too.'

'I have one, he might have more than one.'

But seeing Jiang Hong use it today, Ji Yuan now understood its effects, which would give him some experience when using his own next time.

What a pity!

That bastard got away, couldn't be kept.

If he could have taken Jiang Hong's storage bag... Ji Yuan couldn't even imagine how much wealth he would have gained.

"Junior Brother Ji."

With Jiang Hong gone, the battle subsided, and Dong Qian finally arrived.

She knew that if she had come over during the fight, she wouldn't have helped and might have distracted Ji Yuan.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing Ji Yuan with his tattered clothes and pale face, she couldn't help but ask with some concern.

"I'm fine, just minor issues."

Ji Yuan shook his head, not lying.

The injuries from the earlier Talisman Treasure clash had already healed naturally, and the only problem was the excessive consumption of spiritual Qi. Even his Dantian had only a thin layer of spiritual Qi left at this moment.

One could even say it was nearly empty.

No choice, having used a Talisman Treasure once, and countless times a Spiritual Artifact, even top-grade ones.

If not for his spiritual Qi being purified beforehand, he might not have been able to endure today's situation.

Afterward, Ji Yuan didn't converse with Dong Qian; his form dissolved into black mist, and when he reformed, he was in front of the Frost Serpent and the Red Serpent.

The Frost Serpent was okay, still able to breathe out cold air.

But the Red Serpent was in bad shape.

When Ji Yuan exploded the Stardust earlier, besides focusing on Jiang Hong, he also kept an eye on the Red Serpent, so now it lay lifeless on the ground, with every scale on its body seeping blood, unable even to flick its tongue.

Had the Red Serpent grown, it too would have been a Tier Three Demon Beast.

Ji Yuan estimated that the reason it's still in the late stage of Tier Two is largely due to Jiang Hong's cultivation, rather than an inability to raise it.

But now it doesn't matter.

Ji Yuan's right hand reached out, and the top-grade Spiritual Artifact, the Inverted Golden Ear Tripod, appeared in his hand, spinning continuously.

"Go!"

Ji Yuan stretched his right hand forward, and as the Inverted Golden Ear Tripod grew with the wind, by the time it landed, it had transformed into a giant bronze tripod, absolutely subduing the Red Serpent.

"Frost Serpent, eat it!"

With a thought, the Frost Serpent, which had been lying on the ground feigning death, rose up and, in one swift motion, bit down on the Red Serpent.

Without looking further, Ji Yuan summoned the Sky Raider Flying Boat again and moved to another part of the battlefield.

He hadn't forgotten that Yin Tongzi was still getting beaten.

Both of them were mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and he had to fight against two. This couldn't continue.
