Chapter 68 Hunting Order

After the formation was broken, the five foundation-building monks took the lead in flying away from Jinyang City.

Immediately afterwards came the Qi Refining Stage disciples who were slower to react, and each of them flew their magical weapons to the south, which was the road to Qingyuan City.

There were also some clever Qi Refining Stage disciples who did not follow the large army, but fled in both directions. In order to avoid being targeted by the enemy Qi Refining Stage team, they did not gather together but dispersed.

It didn't take long for each of them to escape a hundred feet away, and they were about to disappear into the night.

Liu Yan was also among these monks and did not flee with the large army.

For a monk like him who has sophisticated magical weapons and is strong in the Qi refining period, it is easier to escape by acting alone.

"You two late stage Qi refining..."

"As long as I keep a sufficient distance from those foundation-building monks, these two people won't be able to keep me!"

Liu Yan did not forget to observe the battle situation while escaping. When he found that there were only two pursuers in the late stage of Qi Refining behind him, he was relieved in his heart.

Liu Chengxuan left him a lot of life-saving means during his lifetime. As long as no foundation-building monks took action, he would still have a high chance of escaping back to Qingyuan City.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan, while observing the distance of the pursuers behind him, fled frantically to keep a safe distance between the two sides.

During this period, Liu Yan would dodge the attacks of the pursuers whenever he could. If he couldn't, he would rely on magic weapons and talismans to resist. He did not dare to fight back at all, for fear of attracting the attention of the monks in the foundation-building period.

However, no matter how cautious Liu Yan was, he would never have expected that Jinyang City would be destroyed. The main reason was the "Fire Cloud Seal" in his hand.

Anyone could escape today, but he, Liu Yan, had been targeted by the foundation-building monks for a long time and had no reason to escape.

Just when Liu Yan was five miles away from Jinyang City, he suddenly found that the monk behind him had stopped chasing him and seemed to have given up on chasing him.

But before he could be happy, a voice as cold as frost sounded from ahead.

"Where are you going to run to?"

Hearing this, Liu Yan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked up in the air in horror. A man in purple clothes was holding a magic weapon, standing in the air and looking at him with cold eyes.

"Foundation-building monk!"

Feeling the terrifying spiritual pressure on Zhang Sifan's body, Liu Yan's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, his tone full of despair.

Why would there be monks from the Foundation Establishment Stage specifically hunting him down? !

After being slightly stunned, Liu Yan instantly took out the second-level talisman hidden in his sleeve and was about to activate it.

"snort!"

"Do you think you have a chance to escape?"

Zhang Sifan snorted coldly, raised his finger and drew lightly, and a red bolt flashed in mid-air.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Liu Yan let out a shrill scream, and the arm holding the magic talisman was broken at the sound.

"Noisy!"

Zhang Sifan raised his finger, and a pink spiritual light hit his eyebrows, and Liu Yan fainted.

After doing this, Zhang Sifan carried the unconscious Liu Yan and flew towards Jinyang City.

...

The moment Jinyang City's formation was broken, Qingyuan City received the news.

As the main city of the thirty-six strongholds, Qingyuan City has a special formation to sense other strongholds. Once the city protection formation is broken, the three Jindan masters in the city can immediately get the news.

On the top floor of the city lord's palace, there is a war meeting room.

The war meeting room was empty, not even a chair, only a huge position map suspended in mid-air.

Among the twenty-six bright spots on the map, one quietly dimmed.

"Jinyang City was destroyed, and it was Hehuan Sect monks who took action..."

As a deep male voice sounded, three Jindan masters headed by Wang Qiwen appeared out of thin air in front of the map. Looking at the Jinyang City stronghold that had just dimmed, their expressions were not very good.

"These bastards from the Hehuan Sect, they agreed to deal with the Yuling Sect together, but they actually sent their disciples to sneak attack us from behind!"

The speaker was an old man with a goatee, his tone full of anger.

This person's name is Lu Xiuyuan, a middle-stage Golden Elixir monk of the Lu family, and one of the three Golden Elixir Supervisors of the Guiyuan Sect.

"It's just that we lost a city. We just need to fight back!"

"Destroy the Hehuan Sect's two cities again, let's see if you dare to be so bold!"

Fang Yuechan looked at the map, her tone full of chills.

After the two of them finished speaking, they both looked at the leader Wang Qiwen. As a late-stage Jindan monk, the other party was the real speaker.

After a while, Wang Qiwen's voice slowly sounded.

"We will make plans for the attack on the city later. Junior Brother Lu, please issue a killing order and don't let those bold Hehuan Sect disciples go back safely..."

"yes!"

...

Qingyuan City, inside the temporary cave.

Su Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon and practicing, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the orange transmission talisman flying into the cave.

"Fatwa?!"

With a hint of surprise in Su Ming's tone, he reached out to take the transmission note and read the information in it.

"Jinyang City was actually destroyed by Hehuan Sect monks?"

"Calculating the time, we are only one year away from the garrison mission. Liu Yan is really unlucky..."

After a while, Su Ming looked at the transmission talisman in his hand and muttered helplessly to himself.

Liu Yan was tasked with garrisoning Jinyang City with his help. According to Su Ming's understanding, Jinyang City, which was located on the rear side, had been attacked once in the fifteen years since the war began.

Compared with other strongholds, Jinyang City can be said to be quite safe. I didn't expect Liu Yan to be so unlucky that he just happened to catch up with such a "fatal" thing.

After saying that, Su Ming put away the sound transmission talisman, took out the Shenxingzhou and turned into a black escape light and rushed towards Jinyang City.

The hunting orders were issued by Jindan Zhenren himself. Like the Guiyuan Order, they were all mandatory tasks and there was no way to shirk them.

Even if Su Ming's rest time was not over yet, he had to rush to Jinyang City immediately to hunt down the Hehuan Sect cultivators.

According to the distance between Qingyuan City and Jinyang City, by the time he got there, it was estimated that the opportunity would be cold. It was just a "formality" and there was probably no need to fight. Su Ming would naturally not disobey the order.

Only those foundation-building cultivators who were closer to Jinyang City had time to intercept the retreating Hehuan Sect cultivators.

As for whether Liu Yan was dead or alive, Su Ming didn't care at all. He had already paid back the favor he owed Liu Chengxuan. The cause and effect between the two sides was settled and they had nothing to do with each other.

......

On the other side, the five cultivators in Pingguang City who first received the Guiyuan Order paused and looked a little unhappy.

"How is it possible! Jinyang City was actually breached!"

"Are the six Hehuan disciples really that powerful?"

Chang Yun looked at the message from the identity token and said to himself in disbelief.

It was only an hour and a half ago that they received the Return to Origin Order. In such a short time, how could the Hehuan Sect cultivators break through the Jinyang City defense formation?

After a short pause, the five beams of light flew towards Jinyang City at a faster speed. The Hehuan Sect cultivators had just finished attacking the city, and their mana consumption must have been considerable. They had a high chance of intercepting them.

......

In addition to Chang Yun and his five companions, there were three other groups of people rushing to Jinyang City from three other directions, with a siege. The total number of foundation-building cultivators was close to thirty, including nine cultivators in the late stage of foundation-building.
