Qinghe Immortal Clan.

After fighting with the opponent just now, Song Yuanli also discovered that this person had also practiced body-refining exercises, and his physical defense ability was far beyond that of ordinary foundation-building cultivators. Even if he still had some trump cards, Song Yuanli was not sure enough to repel the opponent in a short period of time.

If the only person chasing him was the black-robed monk, Song Yuanli would definitely have the confidence to turn around and fight him.

But from what he had learned when he escaped from the battlefield just now, there were reinforcements coming from the "Tianhai League" behind him, and they were most likely on their way to chase him. If he was entangled by this person here, he would probably fall into even greater danger.

The only option now is to try to escape to the north towards the several towns and cities behind the State of Lu, hoping that they might encounter support from their own people ahead, or that the enemy will not dare to pursue them too far.

However, the reinforcements that Song Yuanli was expecting had not yet appeared, and the big man in the late foundation building stage from the "Tianhai League" who was chasing him from behind had already caught up with him, and soon controlled a copper hammer magic weapon to smash towards Song Yuanli's position.

Seeing this, Song Yuanli could only dodge the opponent's attack by turning sideways, then quickly took out a silver long sword from his body and used it to chop at the opponent.

The silver long sword in Song Yuanli's hand is exactly the magic weapon "Black Silver Sword" that Song Qingming used when he was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

When Song Qingming obtained this magic weapon from the bandits of Yingchao Ridge, the sword was only a second-level mid-grade magic weapon. Later, with the help of Long Feng to add silver sandstone and reforge it, the quality was improved to the second-level upper-grade.

Later, after Song Qingming formed the core, he had more powerful magic weapons and naturally no longer needed these second-level magic weapons. He placed the sword in the family's treasury as a reward for the younger generation of the family. Later, it was exchanged for by Song Yuanli using the family's merits.

Because the magic weapon is mixed with silver sand and stone, the power of the "Black Silver Knife" is still relatively strong among the second-level top-grade magic weapons.

When the big man from the "Tianhai League" saw the magic weapon in Song Yuanli's hand, he did not dare to be careless because he had already witnessed its power. He quickly raised a jade magic weapon on his body and released a protective shield to block Song Yuanli's attack.

Seeing that the opponent was on the passive defense, Song Yuanli didn't want to care about him. He took back the "black silver knife" not far away, and just left the opponent behind and continued to run away.

However, the big man in black from the "Tianhai League" was well prepared. He took out a green jade bottle and quickly cast a spell. Soon a green vine shot out from the jade bottle and flew up and entangled Song Yuanli's right foot, causing his figure, which had just escaped a short distance, to stop in mid-air again.

Just as he was trapped by the opponent, a ball of fire immediately emerged from Song Yuanli's body, followed by five or six red fire knives flying out from the flames. After shuttling around his feet a few times, they quickly cut off the vines wrapped around his feet.

However, just as Song Yuanli escaped from the predicament, he found that there was a flash of spiritual light above the green jade bottle in front of the big man in black, and three vines quickly rolled out from the talisman towards him, blocking Song Yuanli directly.

Seeing this, Song Yuanli was not polite at all. He used the "Red Flame Technique" that he had practiced for many years, and wanted to use the fire knife formed by flames to directly cut off the vines blocking his way.

However, the green vines grew too fast. After Song Yuanli cut off many of them, they did not decrease in number. Instead, they gathered into a cage in the air in front of him, trying to lock him inside.

At this time, Song Yuanli also knew that his way forward was blocked. The purpose of this big man in black was to trap him here and wait for support from the rear.

After thinking about his situation for a while, Song Yuanli did not panic too much. He turned around and broke out of the vines below, then quickly moved towards a nearby mountain.

"Still want to leave!"

The big man in black from the "Tianhai League" in the back smiled lightly when he saw this scene. He put away the jade bottle magic weapon in his hand, took out his gourd flying magic weapon, and immediately chased after them.

Halfway through the journey, the big man in black was not idle either. He kept releasing magical weapons and some high-level spells he had practiced, harassing Song Yuanli constantly, trying to slow down his escape.

The two men chased each other and fled, and after fighting for dozens of rounds, they quickly bypassed the mountain and came to a canyon behind the mountain.

He had already flown to the end of the canyon, but his way was blocked by vines cast by a big man in black. Song Yuanli took out the "Black Silver Knife" and tried desperately to fight his way out of the canyon from one side, but was stopped by the other party several times.

After fighting with the opponent for a while, a few beads of sweat appeared on Song Yuanli's forehead. After fighting with the opponent several times along the way and running more than a hundred miles in one breath, Song Yuanli's magic power was running out.

Seeing that Song Yuanli had been trapped in the canyon, the black-clothed man was somewhat proud and said with a chuckle, "Boy! Lingyin Sect is about to be defeated by us, and Lu State is already in the hands of Tianhai League. Why do you still have to sacrifice your life for this?

I see that you are quite skilled in fighting. Why don't you consider switching sides, surrendering with courtesy, and joining our Tianhai Alliance?
There is more than one sect in our Tianhai League, and we never discriminate against outsiders. As long as you are willing to join, with your qualifications, you may be able to wait for the support of the elders in the sect in the future. You will have great potential in the future, which is better than dying here now."

Song Yuanli was not moved at all by the black-clothed man's words of persuasion. He just glared at him angrily. In his hand, there appeared a second-level top-grade talisman that Song Qingming had given him. He looked at the other party with a firm gaze and injected his magic power into the talisman.

"A second-level, top-grade spiritual talisman. You have such a powerful thing hidden on you!"

After seeing the talisman in Song Yuanli's hand, the black-clothed man from the "Tianhai League" was slightly surprised, but not too nervous. He just moved his arms, quickly cast a spell and released a second-level defensive talisman, which directly protected himself.

As soon as the talisman in Song Yuanli's hand lit up, it immediately turned into a huge fireball ten feet in size and flew directly towards the other party. In a moment, it hit a defensive shield in front of the big man in black.

After a violent fluctuation of spiritual power, the big man in black was hit by the huge fireball and flew backwards, crashing into the mountain wall at the back, causing a burst of fire and smoke.

However, not long after, the big man in black who had just been defeated walked out of the smoke again. Although his clothes were torn everywhere at this moment, there were only some bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, and he did not have many injuries.

After taking Song Yuanli's attack, the exposed part of the black-clothed man's body was now tightly wrapped by a layer of silver light, as if he was wearing an extra set of silver armor.

As soon as he walked out of the smoke, the black-clad man from the "Tianhai League" looked up and saw that Song Yuanli had broken through the vine barrier he had set up in the air and was preparing to escape from the canyon from above.

Seeing this, the big man in black did not hesitate. He pushed his feet hard on the ground, and his whole body turned into a gust of light, quickly chasing after Song Yuanli's position in the sky.

Just when Song Yuanli was about to fly out of the canyon, a loud thunder suddenly flashed on the side above the canyon. A moment later, a group of gray clouds appeared out of thin air not far away and quickly swept towards where Song Yuanli was.

Seeing this, Song Yuanli and the big man in black who was still below were both stunned. They looked at the gray cloud with a hint of confusion. It was obvious that neither of them knew the origin of this sudden strange cloud.

Before Song Yuanli could react, the gray mist swept him up and fell from the top of the canyon again, carrying the big man in black who had just caught up with him and also fell directly from mid-air.

As soon as the two of them landed on the ground, the gray cloud that was so surging just now had already come not far in front of them, and then a masked green-robed figure slowly walked out of the cloud.

"Golden elixir monk!"

Seeing the green-robed man appear, Song Yuanli and the big man in black from the "Tianhai League" who was standing not far away were both shocked, and a look of panic immediately appeared on their faces.

The green-robed masked man first glanced at the black-robed man, then asked him, "Are you a disciple of Luofeng Valley?"

Hearing the green-robed man's question, the black-robed man was slightly stunned at first, then immediately nodded and replied respectfully: "Senior, you are right, I am a disciple of Luofeng Valley.

I never thought that the senior could tell my identity at a glance. Now that Luofeng Valley has officially joined the Tianhai League, there are very few cultivators who directly address us as disciples of Luofeng Valley."

"Well! Calculating the time, Luofeng Valley has been a member of Tianhai League for hundreds of years. Indeed, few people outside remember Luofeng Valley. Just a few hundred years have passed really quickly.

Boy, let me ask you one more question. Qiu Daoping should still be alive, right? Did he come to Lu again this time? "The green-robed man thought for a moment and then asked the black-robed man again.

"this.."

"Why! You don't want to answer, or you don't know about this."

The black-clothed man from the Tianhai League saw that the green-robed man seemed a little unhappy, and immediately nodded slightly and said:

“Senior, I did hear that the Grand Ancestor had come out of seclusion a few years ago, but he was a Nascent Soul cultivator. I am only a Foundation Establishment disciple and I really don’t know whether he came to the front line of Lu State.

Senior, you know our ancestor, but what is your connection with Luofeng Valley?"

The big man in black was very surprised when he heard that the Jindan cultivator in front of him dared to call his Yuanying ancestor by his name.

However, at the moment, he didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so the big man in black didn't dare to say much for a while. He chose to answer the other party's questions honestly, and then asked the other party a tentative question.

After hearing the answer from the big man in black, the man in green sighed slightly and said, "You are right, there is indeed some connection, but it has nothing to do with you, so there is no need for you to know!"

"Well! Since it has nothing to do with me, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave and not disturb you here."

Feeling that there was no goodwill in the green-robed man's tone, the black-robed man did not dare to stay here for long. After bowing to him, he saw that the other party did not speak, so he flew away and prepared to leave the canyon. Just when the black-robed man was about to fly out of the canyon, thinking that he had escaped, the green-robed man who was standing in the same place raised his right hand slightly, gathered a spiritual light, and the next moment the whole person suddenly disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, a flash of lightning sounded in the sky. After a few screams, the black-clothed man's already charred body fell from the sky and landed directly in front of Song Yuanli, who was just trying to move and escape from here.

"Humph! I never even said I would let you go, but you want to run away. Young people nowadays are really becoming more and more unruly!"

Watching the green-robed man who instantly killed a late Foundation Establishment cultivator and was slowly walking towards him, Song Yuanli stood still, not daring to move, with beads of sweat already covering his forehead.

Although this mysterious green-robed man killed the black-robed man from the "Tianhai League" and helped him get rid of a powerful enemy, this does not mean that the green-robed man is on his side.

Moreover, judging from the other party's tone just now, he obviously has some connection with the "Tianhai League". It is very likely that he is a cultivator from the immortal cultivation world there. This is not good news for him.

After taking a look at the somewhat nervous Song Yuanli, the green-robed man slowly moved his gaze to the "black silver knife" in front of him, and asked in a calm tone: "Boy, tell me about your origins. If I am in a good mood, I might be able to let you leave here!"

"I am Song Yuanli, a junior, from the Xiaoyao Sect of Wei State, a family cultivator from Funiushan Mountain in Qinghe County. I was summoned by the sect to come to Lu State a year ago!"

Having seen how the green-robed man could turn hostile at any time, Song Yuanli also knew that the other party was a person with a strange temper. He did not dare to hide too much and directly told his identity to him.

Faced with such a powerful old Jindan monster who had lived for hundreds of years, Song Yuanli did not have much confidence in his heart. He certainly could not escape. The corpse of the big man in black in front of him had already told him the consequences of a rash escape.

Song Yuanli can only hope now. The purpose of this old guy's appearance here is to target the big man in black. It has nothing to do with him. If he cooperates with the other party honestly, he may be able to save his life.

After hearing Song Yuanli's answer, the green-robed man nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Xiaoyao Sect, Qinghe County, what a coincidence, I have also been there. Since you are honest, as long as you answer one of my questions, I will let you leave here."

"Please give me some advice, senior! I would never dare to conceal anything intentionally." Upon hearing this, Song Yuanli hurriedly bowed to the man in green robe, without much change on his face.

"Well! I still like this attitude. Let me ask you, how is the battle between Lingyin Sect and Tianhai League going on on the front line now? Tell me everything you know."

"In the past year, the frontline battlefield has been relatively calm,"

Song Yuanli talked for a long time about what he knew had happened on the battlefield recently. The man in green robe didn't say anything during the whole time. It was only after he talked about the battle in which he had just been chased by the monks of Tianhai League that the man in green robe interrupted him.

"Are you sure that the Yuxiao Sect has rebelled and the people from the Tianhai League have come around from Zipeng Mountain?"

“Senior, I only heard this news from fellow Daoist Wang of Lingyin Sect when I met him before. I haven’t had time to confirm this matter yet, so I’m not sure whether it’s true or not.

But when this person was chasing me just now, he also mentioned that Fengguyuan was about to be defeated. I feel that the rebellion of Yuxiao Sect is about 70% to 80% true! "Song Yuanli responded cautiously.

"The Lingyin Sect really couldn't stop them. Fortunately, I got back in time!"

The green-robed man sighed softly, then continued to ask Song Yuanli, "You just said that you are a cultivator from Funiu Mountain in Wei State. Who are the Jindan cultivators from Wei State who came here to support you this time? Is your Song family ancestor among them?"

"We came here with Senior Chen Xuanxin from the Xiaoyao Sect this time. There is also a Jindan elder from the sect, Senior Lv Boyang, at the front line. The ancestor has not come to Lu State."

Hearing the other party mention his own ancestor, Song Yuanli did not dare to say much. The green-robed man in front of him did not even care about the Nascent Soul ancestor mentioned by the black-robed monk from the "Tianhai League" just now, let alone his own Jindan clan leader.

Just as the two were talking, two sword lights flew over from above the canyon. After circling above, they quickly fell directly to the location where Song Yuanli and the other were.

Song Yuanli took a look and found that two more monks from the "Tianhai League" were chasing after him. His face suddenly changed and he looked at the green-robed man beside him.

"Senior! Yes..."

Song Yuanli had just opened his mouth when the green-robed man in front of him suddenly flashed and disappeared from the spot, flying directly towards the location of the two sword lights.

The two "Tianhai League" foundation-building monks who were following the trail of Song Yuanli and the big man in black, had just entered the canyon when a green-robed figure suddenly flashed in the air, scaring them both instantly.

"Oh no! It's a Jindan cultivator. Run away!"

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the green-robed man, the two men immediately fled in their separate ways. One of them even took out a sound transmission talisman from his body and cast a spell to send the talisman away.

But the next moment, the man in green robe quickly came to the front of the talisman, and in the shocked eyes of the two people, he grabbed the sound transmission talisman and crushed it into pieces.

Then, before they could react, the man in green robe came behind one of the old men and released a bolt of thunder from his hand. After a flash of lightning, the old man's somewhat charred body fell straight down from mid-air.

The next moment, there was another scream. Another foundation-building cultivator who had already run several hundred feet away was also completely powerless to resist. He was killed in mid-air by the lightning cast by the green-robed man in just one round.

The man in green robe grabbed the storage bags from the two opponents, then released two fireballs that directly burned the two bodies to ashes, and then turned back to the canyon.

Seeing Song Yuanli still standing there without daring to run away, the green-robed man nodded with satisfaction and said to him directly: "I can let you leave here, but I don't need to remind you how to explain it to others when you go back!"

"Don't worry, senior! I understand that I was in danger today and I escaped with my own ability. I have never seen you before."

"Hmph! As long as you understand."

The green-robed man chuckled and turned his gaze to the body of the black-robed man lying beside him. Just as he was about to destroy the body, Song Yuanli suddenly bowed and said to him, "Senior, I have a small request."

"What's the matter, tell me!"

In case someone from the law enforcement team asks about this matter after I return, I want to bring his head back with me. This way, no one will question whether I escaped on my own. I hope you can help me with this.

Song Yuanli said this because when Li Chengyue and his companions were escaping separately, they saw the big man in black chasing them.

If there was no proof of this head, the Lingyin Sect might have sent people to investigate in detail the matter afterwards, in order to prevent someone on the battlefield from secretly defecting to the enemy in order to save his life when facing a life-and-death situation. For a cultivator like Song Yuanli who escaped alone from the enemy's pursuit, the Lingyin Sect might have sent people to investigate in detail.

Once questioned by the law enforcement team, it would be hard to say whether he could keep the secret of the green-robed man. Therefore, Song Yuanli boldly asked the green-robed man for the head of the big man in black.

"Well! What you said makes some sense. Then you can take this storage bag back with you!" After thinking for a moment, the man in green robe agreed to his request, and then threw a khaki storage bag to Song Yuanli.

"The junior thanks the senior!"

Seeing the storage bag in the black-clothed man's hand, Song Yuanli was delighted. After bowing to thank the green-robed man, he stepped forward, took out the flying sword and cut off the head of the black-clothed man on the ground.

After collecting the black-clothed man's head and the storage bag, Song Yuanli turned around and bowed deeply to the green-robed man.

"I will never forget your kindness, Senior. Please accept my respect again!"

"Alright! Hurry up and leave. Don't go through all this empty formalities in front of me. Otherwise, if I change my mind later, it will be too late for you to regret it."

Hearing the other party's somewhat impatient urging, Song Yuanli nodded hurriedly, summoned the flying boat on his body, and quickly flew out of the canyon.

"Why are all these Songs like this? They look honest, but they are actually very cunning."

After Song Yuanli disappeared from his sight, the man in green robe muttered to himself, turned around and burned the black-clothed man on the ground with fire, and soon left the canyon.

A few months later, on the top of Tuoyun Mountain tens of thousands of miles away, Song Qingming was patiently drawing a third-grade low-grade talisman. The spiritual pen in his hand, which was controlled by magic power, suddenly trembled, and a burst of fire suddenly appeared when he had already drawn most of the talisman.

"Another piece of talisman-making material has been wasted. It seems that the heat is still not enough!"

Looking at the talisman that had turned to ashes in a few moments, Song Qingming shook his head helplessly and put away the talisman pen in his hand. (End of this chapter)
