CHAPTER 506: CHAPTER 269: FLEEING HASTILY_2

Li Yunjing contemplated silently in his heart, realizing that he might not actually be able to overcome the opponent!

"Throw out some magical artifacts and make them self-detonate!"

Having chosen such a desperate measure, Li Yunjing could only sigh. He had not expected to be forced into this predicament.

One magical artifact after another flew down from the "Cyan Cloud Ship," exploding with thunderous roars and causing debris to scatter everywhere behind them.

Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao emulated the action, even throwing in several forbidden artifacts, resulting in continuous explosions.

This made it difficult for Zhao Yibai to catch up in a short period.

"Whoosh!"

When they arrived back at the wellhead, Yu Yunyi put away the "Cyan Cloud Ship," and the four flew out, leaping into the stone chamber.

"Detonate!"

Without any hesitation, Li Yunjing commanded, and almost simultaneously, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao each threw a Tier Three forbidden artifact into the well.

"Boom!"

This time, the entire underground palace began to collapse.

In an instant, the "Cyan Cloud Ship" was released again, and Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao re-entered the "Cyan Cloud Ship," rushing out of the Spirit Bone Tribe’s territory.

"Boom boom..."

The "Cyan Cloud Ship" flew into the sky, and in almost an instant, the power furnace was pushed to its limit, flying out a hundred miles.

"Move quickly! Move quickly!"

Although Zhao Yibai was not yet seen pursuing them, Li Yunjing’s complexion remained very grim, his face almost dark enough to drip water, clearly resentful of the recent events and fearing Zhao Yibai would catch up.

"I must find an opportunity in the future to carefully plan and kill Zhao Yibai!"

Fu Chao’s expression was equally unpleasant as he spoke angrily.

Having left the safe haven of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," he realized that the identity of Fu Family’s second young master meant nothing without cultivation and he could die at any time.

This realization made Fu Chao feel extremely distressed!

"Heh heh! Where are you running off to, little brats? Did you think a mere earthquake could trap me?"

Not long after Fu Chao made his threat, a sinister laugh echoed behind them. Li Yunjing and the others looked back to see an ice arrow rising into the sky, already within twenty miles behind them, its immense killing intent enveloping the "Cyan Cloud Ship."

The divine sense of the Golden Core Realm figure was astonishing, shocking Li Yunjing and his companions!

They thought the crisis had been averted, having escaped a hundred miles, only to be found and pursued by Zhao Yibai once again.

"It seems there’s a city ahead? Let’s descend! I don’t believe Zhao Yibai dares to slaughter a city! If he makes a move, the sect elders will surely detect his presence and deduce his information, leading to his downfall!"

Li Yunjing, calm and composed in danger, brightened at the thought and gave the command.

"Good idea!"

Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao’s eyes lit up; Li Yunjing’s reasoning was sound!

Zhao Yibai’s pursuit was solely for the purpose of eliminating witnesses, but slaughtering a city would certainly expose his identity, contradicting his initial purpose.

The four predicted that Zhao Yibai, while determined to chase them, would not dare openly pursue them within the city.

"What? These little brats are headed into a mortal city?"

From afar, Zhao Yibai saw the "Cyan Cloud Ship" suddenly dive down!

The target was a large city spreading over dozens of miles.

This city had a population of at least a million, all of whom would witness the "Cyan Cloud Ship" descending. If Zhao Yibai continued to reveal his divine techniques to kill Li Yunjing and the others, he would certainly be discovered.

Upon reaching lower altitudes, Yu Yunyi withdrew the "Cyan Cloud Ship," and the four of them landed within the city.

After entering the city, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao concealed their auras to the extreme and changed their attire, blending into the city like ordinary people.

"Damn it! These little brats have hidden themselves in the city!"

In the cloud layers high above, Zhao Yibai’s face looked exceedingly grim as he gazed down, unsure of what to do next.

Just as Li Yunjing predicted, Zhao Yibai was a Supreme Elder and one of the sect ancestors of the Bing Ling Sect, regarding himself as part of the sect despite his cultivation of Ghost Dao Techniques.

If he committed a massacre in the city, the blame would fall upon the Bing Ling Sect, whose ruling Zhao Family included thousands of direct and collateral relatives.

Zhao Yibai could not tolerate such consequences!

This made him hesitate, leading him to restrain his aura and descend into the city.

After all, this place was nearly 900,000 miles away from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," making it impossible for any communication talisman to transmit a message back.

As long as Zhao Yibai remained in the city and searched slowly, he would eventually capture Li Yunjing and his companions.

This city was large, with streets intersecting one another. Each main street was paved with bluestone, and shops of all kinds lined both sides.

This city was one of the northern trading hubs of the Great Ming Dynasty, bustling with transactions and frequent commerce, allowing Li Yunjing, Lv Ruoxi, Yu Yunyi, and Fu Chao to easily blend in as ordinary people.

People passing by on the streets paid no attention to the two men and two women among them, treating them as mere ordinary pedestrians.

"Wan San, have you heard? Something happened at Old Xu’s house in East City; it seems Young Master Xu is haunted by evil spirits, and Old Xu is seeking high-ranking experts everywhere to exorcise them!"

"How could I not know? The Xu Family is formidable! It’s said they even have immortals among them!"

"Who knows what happened! Why don’t the Xu Family immortals come back to save Young Master Xu?"

"Heh, you think the Xu Family immortals are in the city? They’ve been cultivating in Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands, tens of thousands of miles away from Beiwang City! By the time the Xu Family sends word, Young Master Xu might..."

The speaker dared not finish his sentence, apparently fearing the Xu Family.

"Alas! If I had the skills, I’d rescue Young Master Xu! The Xu Family not only offers lavish rewards but would also offer a favor in the Immortal Dao!"

Many people voiced their envy, chatting animatedly.

"The Xu Family? Do any of you know about them?"

Li Yunjing, ever perceptive, heard the conversation clearly from a hundred feet away.

He glanced at Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, questioning them.

"No idea! There are many families surnamed Xu in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Our Fu Family, and their Yu Family, Lv Family, barely operate in the north, so I’m unaware of this Xu Family’s background."

Fu Chao shook his head, having also overheard the street chatter.

Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi nodded in agreement, indicating their understanding.

"Hmm! Shall we go take a look?"

Li Yunjing asked with a smile.

"Are you suggesting causing more trouble while being chased?"

Yu Yunyi asked curiously.

"Heh! Zhao Yibai must have sealed off the city gates, so we can’t get out. If this Xu Family indeed has some clout, we could try to have them relay a message out of the city!"

"Once the message reaches the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect,’ Zhao Yibai’s finished!"

Li Yunjing smiled, explaining his idea.

"That’s right! Makes sense!"

Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao nodded in agreement.

As prominent members of their clans, long accustomed to the sect, they didn’t have much experience outside, hence they followed Li Yunjing’s lead habitually.

"Alright, let’s check out East City then!"

Li Yunjing nodded and led them slowly towards East City.

The four of them refrained from using any divine techniques, walking like mortals, taking more than an hour to arrive before a grand mansion.

Above the gate signboard, the words "Xu Residence" were written, revealing the grand scope of the Xu Family estate, with interconnected pathways, gardens, and ponds everywhere, presenting a landscape of beauty and grandeur.
