Chapter 597: Star Ship
Yun Cang's face was ashen, veins on his forehead were throbbing, and anger was rising in his eyes.
Only a thousand miles away from Shadow City, someone dared to kill the Jindan elder of Wuji Island. It was simply too bold.
The momentum around him suddenly surged, and a murderous aura arose spontaneously, stirring up the surrounding clouds and mist.
Yun Cang immediately performed the escape technique, lowered his altitude, and chased after the murderer.
At the same time, he raised his hand and waved, and a long sword suddenly appeared.
The long sword shone with cold light, like ice crystals condensed in the severe winter, and the cold air was pressing.
The sword light was swallowed and spit out, revealing a mighty power that could split mountains and cut rivers.
When he was about to urge the long sword to cut the real murderer under the sword, his momentum suddenly restrained.
The anger on his face was also replaced by solemnity.
He suddenly realized that the strength shown by the murderer seemed to be above him.
He thought he could not do it and kill Feng Lan and Duan Chuan in an instant.
Thinking of the murderer who had previously killed the Supervisory Elder Pang Yu.
Yun Cang suddenly had a thought in his mind: the murderer seemed to be targeting the entire Wuji Island.
This thought instantly alerted him.
The murderer was not an ordinary person, but a top Jindan strongman, and was also good at restraining the thunder method of corpse puppets. I am afraid that he was not his opponent!
As for why Yun Cang was sure that the murderer was not a Yuanying cultivator.
First, when the murderer took action, he probably sensed the other party's cultivation.
Second, if the murderer was a Yuanying cultivator, the other party would not escape, but would attack him.
After thinking about these things clearly, Yun Cang realized that he could not act impulsively. Otherwise, he would also be in danger of falling today.
However, although he could not fight the murderer head-on, he could still cast a spell to delay the other party. As long as he delayed until the reinforcements from the sect arrived, the murderer would not be able to escape.
A jade slip suddenly appeared in his hand, and the jade slip broke.
In an instant, a phantom of a skull appeared in the air.
The skeleton phantom was a thousand feet high, blood red, and could be clearly seen even from a thousand miles away.
This was an emergency signal from Wuji Island, meaning that a fellow disciple had encountered a strong enemy.
While sending the signal, Yun Cang urged the long sword to chop at the murderer below.
However, he was shocked to find that a blood mist suddenly rose from the dense forest where the murderer was.
The murderer's figure had been covered by the blood mist.
Yun Cang could not judge for a moment what kind of means this blood mist was.
But he had no time to think deeply, so he could only continue to urge the long sword and chop at the blood mist.
The long sword was like a rainbow, and wherever it passed, it seemed that even the space was divided into two.
As the long sword fell, wood chips flew and dust rose.
The entire dense forest seemed to be swept by this violent sword energy.
Whether it was trees, soil, or blood mist, they were all crushed into powder under this force.
However, the murderer disappeared without a trace.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Yun Cang realized that the blood mist should be some kind of escape technique.
He then looked around, trying to find the murderer, but found nothing. The murderer had disappeared.
After about a dozen breaths of time.
A figure broke through the sky and appeared beside Yun Cang.
"Disciple Yun Cang, I pay my respects to Demon Lord Ye Hua."
After seeing that the person coming was Ye Hua, Yun Cang immediately bowed and said.
Ye Hua said in a deep voice, "Yun Cang, why did you send out an emergency call for help?"
"Demon Lord, I, Duan Chuan, Feng Lan and I are tracking down the murderer who killed Elder Pang Wei..."
Yun Cang briefly recounted the course of events.
Ye Hua frowned and looked across the vast forest below.
He also failed to find any clues about the murderer.
"You mean, the murderer suddenly disappeared after being wrapped in the blood mist?" Ye Hua asked.
"Yes!" Yun Cang said.
Ye Hua was silent for a moment, as if recalling something, and then slowly spoke.
"I once saw a secret technique called 'Blood Escape Technique' in an ancient book. This technique is quite magical. Practitioners can burn their own blood and essence in a critical moment to escape from danger in an instant."
He paused and continued, "But according to the records in the ancient books, this technique is the secret technique of the God Blood Sect, and there is no inheritance in the Sea of Disorder. Why does it appear here?"
Yun Cang's tone was a bit speculative, "Could it be that someone crossed the endless desert and came to the Sea of Disorder from the Tianyuan Continent?"
Ye Hua shook his head, "This possibility is extremely low. According to what you said before, the murderer is just a Jindan cultivator, who has no ability to cross the endless desert. It is possible that the records in the ancient books are not completely accurate. Perhaps there is a heritage of 'Blood Escape Technique' in the Sea of Disorder, and it is unknown."
While the two were talking, another figure flew over.
The person who came was Zhu Yin, who also rushed over after seeing the bloody skull.
But her speed was far slower than Ye Hua, a full stick of incense slower than Ye Hua.
After paying respect to Ye Hua, Zhu Yin asked.
"Palace Master Yun, have you found any trace of the murderer?"
Yun Cang repeated the death of Feng Lan and Duan Chuan.
"This murderer seems to be very familiar with our Wuji Island." Zhu Yin said uncertainly.
Yun Cang nodded, "I feel the same way. I guess the murderer may have a grudge against our Wuji Island. The murders of Pang Yan, Feng Lan, and Duan Chuan were all premeditated and were specifically targeted at our Wuji Island."
Ye Hua said, "Immediately check all the Jindan cultivators near Wuji Island, including the outer sect Jindan elders, especially the few casual cultivators and outer sect elders who practiced the righteous way of cultivation. The murderer may be hidden among them. This matter will be handed over to you two. You are allowed to mobilize the Xingcha Shenzhou."
"Yes!" Yun Cang and Zhu Yin bowed and said.
......
Song Wen performed the "Blood Escape Technique" several times in a row and escaped to a distance of 800 miles. Then, he jumped into a rapids and flowed down to the sea.
Entering the sea, he controlled the water in the sea and went to Jiyin Island.
This time, the death of Duan Chuan and Feng Lan caused a lot of noise, and Wuji Island will definitely conduct a strict and thorough investigation.
He planned to return to Jiyin Island to practice hard for a period of time, consolidate his cultivation, and wait for the storm to pass.
It is worth mentioning that when he designed to lure out Duan Chuan and Feng Lan, he had found a bait in advance, which was Wang Cheng, who was in the early stage of foundation building.
Song Wen disguised himself according to Wang Cheng's dress.
Duan Chuan and Feng Lan mistook Wang Cheng for Song Wen, making Wang Cheng a scapegoat and killing him innocently.
However, Song Wen also killed two people, which was also a revenge for Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng was able to smile in his grave.
Song Wen found an uninhabited island, stopped for a while, devoured the cultivation of Duan Chuan and Feng Lan, and then continued on his way.
After devouring the mana of the two, Song Wen's cultivation made rapid progress again, and he was about to touch the bottleneck of the late Jindan period.
