Unexpected Guest

"Chase after him! Chase after him immediately! We mustn't let him escape!" The old man with the talisman stuck a talisman on his and the young man's feet. The two of them transformed into phantoms and flew toward the place where the flying sword disappeared.

Wang Yuande and Zhao Aiguo didn't have such methods, so they could only chase after him with their feet.

As for the others, there was no need for them to continue chasing. In front of Long Jianan, who controlled a flying sword, martial artists who hadn't reached the Connate Realm were no different from ordinary people.

…

The day's exam ended very quickly, and Zhao Wanting seemed very relaxed.

She sat in the front passenger seat of the van and leaned close to Lin Yi. She secretly said, "Brother Xiaoyi, the bracelet you gave me is too useful. Not only can it be used for studying, but it can also be used for exams."

"During the entire exam, I felt that my brain was especially useful. I got all the points I could get."

The bracelet wasn't made of metal, and there was no logo on it, so it could naturally be brought into the examination hall.

"It's good that it's useful. I hope you can get into a good university," Lin Yi replied with a smile.

Zhao Wanting chuckled. The points actually didn't have much of an impact on her. At most, she would follow Brother Xiaoyi to the farm.

She didn't have the personality of a strong woman.

Lin Yi sent Zhao Wanting and Kong Chunhua home and observed the few Innate realm martial artists who were protecting them in the dark. Seeing that they were indeed protecting them with all their heart, he then left with peace of mind.

He drove back to the small courtyard.

The moment he got out of the car, Lin Yi's expression instantly turned serious.

Before he left, he activated all the protective formations for safety reasons.

But now, both the illusory and killing arrays have been activated.

Someone was trapped in the array formation!

It was definitely not an accident. His illusion array would make ordinary people who didn't understand array formations dizzy. No matter which direction they went, they would head down the mountain.

Only supernatural beings who understood array formations could break through the illusion array and enter the next array formation.

(Who is coveting me?)

Lin Yi gathered his spiritual energy and looked in the direction of the killing formation.

There was a man in tattered clothes who looked fierce and was surrounded by flying swords. There was also a delicate-looking woman who was tied up beside the man.

"This is… Long Jianan?" Lin Yi was a little confused.

Long Jianan's arrest warrant was posted in the discussion area of the Baishan City Supernatural Forum after the high-level meeting of the Supernatural Supervision Bureau. Moreover, it was placed at the top.

All the supernatural beings in Baishan City who had browsed the Supernatural Forum knew what Long Jianan looked like.

But wasn't he being hunted down? Why had he fled to my place?

Lin Yi's heart was filled with doubts.

At this moment, Long Jianan felt extremely aggrieved. He had always thought highly of himself, but he didn't expect to be trapped in a small array formation on an unknown mountain. It was difficult for him to escape.

Up until now, he didn't even know what his opponent looked like.

After he used the half-baked Sword Manipulation Art to shake off his pursuers, he immediately rushed to the border. However, everyone had guessed his goal. The guards at the border were very tight, and with his current condition, there was no way he could escape.

Stepping on the speeding flying sword and enduring the powerful wind pressure also caused him to suffer heavy injuries. Hence, unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't use this escape method again.

In addition to his heavy injuries and the depletion of his spirit energy, Long Jianan had no choice but to wander around the mountain in search of a quiet place to recuperate.

In the end, he saw Qifeng Mountain.

The spirit qi around Qifeng Mountain gathered at the top of Qifeng Mountain at a steady speed. Moreover, the speed at which it gathered was very fast.

The strangest thing was that there was no fluctuation of spiritual energy at the top of Qifeng Mountain. It was as if all the spiritual energy had been sucked into a vacuum.

Wherever a large amount of spiritual energy gathered, treasures would appear no matter what. This was especially so for the current Long Jianan. A place with such high spiritual energy was what he needed.

He rushed straight to the top of the mountain as if he was grabbing onto a life-saving straw.

When he saw the illusion formation and the dirt road in the mountains, he realized that this place had an owner.

However, since he started cultivating, he had killed quite a number of immortal cultivators. If it wasn't for the fact that the two immortal cultivators had made preparations in advance, they wouldn't be a match for him. Hence, he wasn't afraid at all.

In the end… he broke the illusion formation and fell into several killing formations.

From another perspective, this fellow still had some ability. After all, he could persist in the killing formation for such a long time. However, he was already an arrow at the end of its flight.

If Lin Yi came a little later, he should only be able to see two corpses.

That's right, there were two of them…

In the beginning, Long Jianan would block the killing formation attacks for Xia Yining. However, as his condition worsened, he couldn't even take care of himself, let alone the other burden.

Xia Yining's current injuries weren't any lighter than Long Jianan's.

"Senior, Senior, spare my life, Senior!"

As Long Jian'an used his flying sword to block the attacks, he kept begging.

This pleading had been going on for a long time, but no one responded. However, he still refused to give up.

Lin Yi watched coldly without wavering.

"Senior, this is the eldest daughter of the Xia family, Xia Yining. Her grandfather is a high-ranking member of the Jiangcheng Province's Supervision Bureau. If her grandfather finds out that she died here, Senior, you won't have an easy time either."

He repeated these words over and over again. One was begging for mercy, and the other was threatening.

It had to be said that threats were still useful.

Lin Yi had originally planned to wait for the two of them to die before going to collect their corpses. What did the hostages have to do with him? But now, he felt that it was necessary to save this woman.

Cultivators had many methods. If Xia Yining really died, her grandfather might be able to find out that she died at Lin Yi's place.

Lin Yi pointed his finger at the center of the killing formation, and a green light flew in the direction of the two of them.

Xia Yining felt like she was about to die.

The attacks from the killing formation didn't stop on her body, but the main point was that she was currently tightly restrained and couldn't dodge at all. She could only passively endure them.

Long Jianan would only help her block attacks that were aimed at her fatal spots. He wouldn't pay attention to anything else.

Even though the other parts of her body weren't fatal, every wound was constantly bleeding. As the number of wounds increased, she could feel the heat in her body gradually disappearing as her blood flowed out.

Her consciousness was almost blurry. In her daze, she seemed to see herself being lifted by a huge green plant that rose from the ground. Then, her entire body warmed up.

She also completely fell asleep in this comfortable warmth.

Xia Yining was warm, but Long Jianan was so horrified that he was about to go crazy.

His life-saving trump card, the true treasure he could use to escape from so many pursuers, was actually carried away by a plant right under his nose!

It wasn't that he didn't want to resist, but when his flying sword pierced into the huge brambles, he felt a sense of sluggishness. If it wasn't for the fact that he immediately drew his flying sword when he saw that something was wrong, his flying sword might have been taken away by these thick brambles.

Now, he knew how powerful the cultivators hiding behind the array formation were.

Unfortunately, it was useless even if he knew. After Lin Yi saved Xia Yining and treated her injuries, he activated the true might of the killing formation.
