C11 (1/2)
At the third fragment of the night, Cheng Siqi stopped cultivating and slowly let out a mouthful of impure air. A smile appeared on his face as he said, ”I've reached the second level of the martial general!”
With a flip of his hand, a jade slip appeared in his hand. He immersed his divine sense into the jade slip, and a short while later, a message appeared in his mind.
”Demonfire! It's actually like this!”
Compared to the heavenly fire, the demonic fire was also different from normal ones. Compared to the heavenly fire, which only existed in the legends, the demonic fire was much more common, and some fire type demon beasts were born with it. In order to obtain the demonic fire, one would have to obtain it from the fire type demon beasts.
”Looks like I have to go out and fight, looking for elixirs and demonic fire. Otherwise, according to my current speed, I won't be able to concoct Pei-Yuan Dan!” Cheng Siqi sighed.
He had read about the Pei-Yuan Dan from the jade slip left behind by Elder Dong. It was a great help to cultivation in the Pre-Sky Realm. The most important thing was that it could be used again and again.
In addition, Cheng Siqi had also learned from the jade slip that demon beasts lived in the same place as spirit herbs, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was relatively dense.
Closing his eyes, he continued to analyze the information in his head. He secretly made up his mind that when Li Yuan went to the Heavenly Sword Sect, he would take his father and leave this place. Only by going out on a adventure would he be able to reach the Innate Realm faster than he could, and at the same time, find a way to heal his father's legs.
He quickly released his soul consciousness. Cheng Siqi could clearly feel that a team of masked men in black was rushing over from the street outside the courtyard. They seemed to have blended into the darkness, giving him a sense of familiarity.
Strangely, as the man in black moved forward, there were no more occasional barking. It was extremely quiet.
Cheng Siqi was a little curious about the purpose of this group of people.
”Could it be?”
Cheng Siqi suddenly remembered that this familiar aura was unique to the members of the Demonic Sect. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Feeling the man in black getting closer and closer to the small courtyard, Cheng Siqi didn't dare to delay and rushed into his father Yang Yi's room, directly interrupting his cultivation. Yang Yi didn't even have time to speak before Cheng Siqi's hand covered his mouth.
Yang Yi was alarmed and immediately felt the abnormality.
Cheng Siqi carried his father on his back. Without any hesitation, he rushed to Li Yuan's room. Li Yuan had also been shocked awake and was about to leave the room. The two of them nearly bumped into each other.
”Don't talk, let's go!” Cheng Siqi said anxiously.
Li Yuan turned around and opened the window. The three of them swiftly flipped out and disappeared into the night.
All of this happened in an instant. When the three of them disappeared from the street, the black robed figure stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard. One of the skinny old men turned around and asked the masked youth with triangular eyes, ”Is it here?”
The voice seemed to come from hell itself, filled with an eerie aura.
”Yes, my lord, it's here. They must be inside!” Pointy Eyes said with a resentful look in his eyes, nodding his head vigorously.
If Li Yuan and the others were here, they would definitely recognize that this triangular eye was the same young man who had ambushed Qi Zhiyuan earlier in the day.
”Surround this place. The four of you, follow me inside.” The old man pointed at the three of them, and when he said those words, he frowned slightly, because he could feel with his divine sense that the courtyard was empty. With that said, five figures flew into the courtyard, and the others quickly spread out and surrounded the courtyard.
It had to be said that Cheng Siqi and the other two were very lucky. This group of people were from the Demonic Sect, but luckily, none of them saw them and their cultivation levels were not high. Otherwise, the three of them would have no way to enter Heaven and Earth.
”He escaped!” A burly man with a masked face walked out of the room and said to the old man standing in the hall.
”Chase them! Split up and search the entire city. They shouldn't have gone far. There's still their presence here!” The old man shrugged his nose and said.
At the same time, two figures quickly passed through an alley and stopped under a tree near the city walls.
”Martial Uncle, take my father and head north. Take this! Remember, apply it as soon as you leave the city walls, please! ” Cheng Siqi handed his father over to Li Yuan while handing him a bottle of medicine.
That was the Breath Suspending Elixir that Cheng Siqi had concocted using an herbal concoction. This elixir could conceal one's presence, of course the formula was obtained from elder Dong's storage ring.
Li Yuan did not reply. Carrying Yang Yi, he nodded to Cheng Siqi before turning around and leaping up. After nodding a few times on a big tree, he climbed up the city wall.
”Si Qi, be careful!” Yang Yi's worried voice sounded.
Li Yuan wasn't worried at all. He was very clear that even though he was currently higher ranked than Cheng Siqi, he might not be her match. Of course, he didn't know that this was all thanks to the Great Chaos Formula.
