Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 67: Break the Great Formation and Escape Death

Huang Yu glanced at the two people, her fear slightly dissipating, but she still didn't change her mind.

She raised the unresponsive sensing talisman in her hand and said, "We've already searched ahead, there's nothing."

The Foundation Establishment female cultivator nodded and muttered, "Tch! Where did that demon go? It's really strange!"

"I guess the demon's location keeps changing. Otherwise, why would we have searched every corner and still found nothing?" the old woman said.

The two turned and left without suspicion.

The Purple Mist Sect was too large. If the demon kept moving to avoid detection, there really wasn't much they could do.

However, it was strange that the demon hadn't released any Divine Sense yet managed to perfectly avoid everyone.

Huang Yu let out a sigh of relief, took a deep look at the void and the ground ahead, bowed slightly, and retreated slowly, step by step.

Xu Hei had been watching her, his mind never leaving her.

As long as Huang Yu dared to take half a step forward, he would have acted immediately.

And after those two Foundation Establishment elders appeared, if she had shown the slightest abnormality, he would have acted without hesitation.

Xu Hei might have been exposed, but this woman in front of him would definitely not survive.

In the end, this plain-looking female cultivator chose the only path that would allow her to live.

In a certain sense, she even helped them a bit.

"This woman is no ordinary person. Judging by her earth-based spells, her Spiritual Root must be quite good. Why is her cultivation only at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage?"

Xu Hei couldn't understand. Someone this clever should have a much stronger cultivation.

He thought of Zhao Wenzhuo, who also had low cultivation but was very cunning. However, he didn't know Zhao Wenzhuo's Spiritual Root.

After Huang Yu left, no one else approached, and Xu Hei finally relaxed his tense mind.

Hei Huang also smoothly completed the final step.

"Alright, mission accomplished," Hei Huang said.

"Whoosh!"

Without hesitation, Xu Hei activated the Earth Escape Technique at full power and rushed towards Hei Huang's location, where a large gap had been opened in the light barrier.

He and Hei Huang, one after the other, almost simultaneously dashed out.

The gap closed the moment they left.

"Phew! That was close, but we got out safely."

Hei Huang let out a long breath.

He realized that Xu Hei was actually quite reliable.

If it weren't for Xu Hei holding him back, he might have gone to the Purple Mist Pavilion and been caught. Even if he didn't die, he'd be skinned alive by that old hag.

"Little Xu, I have to praise you this time. Hey, why are you running? We're already safe!"

Seeing Xu Hei running for his life at full speed, even using a Swift Talisman, Hei Huang had no choice but to follow.

But seeing Xu Hei getting faster and faster, even taking various pills to increase his speed, Hei Huang's face darkened, and he felt a bit uneasy. He didn't dare to slack off and sped up as well.

At the same moment they were escaping.

In the sect square of the Purple Mist Sect.

The old ancestor, He Luohua, who had been sitting silently, suddenly opened her eyes, which burst with a blazing light.

"Hmph, they really escaped! I don't believe you can escape from my grasp!"

He Luohua's figure flickered, and she sped towards a certain location at a terrifying speed, instantly breaking through the range of the Purple Mist Sect's grand formation.

She had seemed to be sitting motionless in the square.

In reality, she, like Xu Hei, had been considering the possibility of the opponent escaping.

The opponent was cunning, and any carelessness would be foolish.

She hadn't personally joined the search team because she had secretly added a layer of Divine Sense membrane to the outer formation.

As long as anything passed through that membrane, it would be branded with an undetectable Divine Sense mark.

At that time, even if they really escaped, they would be marked and hunted down to the ends of the earth.

…………

"Boom!!"

From the distant sky came a series of roaring shockwaves, scattering the clouds. A terrifying figure, carrying an indescribable pressure, was rapidly approaching.

Hei Huang's face changed dramatically, his soul almost flying out of his body. He hurriedly shouted, "Xu Hei, wait for me, wait a moment!"

Xu Hei's speed didn't decrease at all; instead, he went even faster. This was the fastest he had ever gone in his life, but compared to that old woman in the Core Formation Stage, it was still too slow!

The old woman in the sky sneered, "Heh, so it's just two beasts. Don't worry, neither of you will escape."

He Luohua waved her hand, and a golden bowl flew out, inverting to cover the sky.

In an instant, a golden light circle rapidly descended from the bowl, blocking Xu Hei's path. Within a thousand feet, everything was covered.

"Great Golden Bowl, capture!"

He Luohua shouted, and an immense suction force erupted from the golden bowl, pulling at Xu Hei and Hei Huang, trying to drag them out of the earth and into the bowl.

Xu Hei cursed, "Old dog, bring out your trump card now, or we're done for!"

The old dog had previously said that if he brought out that thing, the people of the Purple Mist Sect wouldn't dare to act. Now he was still dawdling.

"Xu Hei, I don't have any trump card. I'm about to be sucked away," Hei Huang wailed.

"Damn it! If I ever go out with you again, I'll be worse than a pig or dog!" Xu Hei cursed.

The old woman looked disdainful. She had thought it was some formidable demon, but it was just this?

Soon, the two demons were pulled out of the earth, uncontrollably rising into the air.

At this moment, Hei Huang sighed helplessly, "Fine, I wanted to wait until that old hag got closer, but since she's using a magical treasure to capture us, I have no choice but to go all out."

Hei Huang patted his Storage Bag.

Instantly, a terrifying and vast pressure descended from the heavens, causing even the space to ripple slightly.

"Crack! Boom!!"

The golden light from the Great Golden Bowl instantly retreated, the suction force disappearing without a trace. Even He Luohua's face turned pale, and she took several steps back.

"Bang!!"

The Great Golden Bowl flew back into her hand.

Her eyes narrowed, staring intently at the object Hei Huang had taken out.

Xu Hei was also shocked, looking at the item in Hei Huang's hand with an incredulous expression.

It was a human figure.

This person wore a dirt-yellow Daoist robe, his body emaciated like kindling. After countless years, his appearance was no longer clear, his beard almost gone, leaving only dry skin with cracked wrinkles.

Xu Hei stared at the back of this person's robe, which bore the image of a large mountain, the mark of the Mountain Movers Sect.

Though his body was emaciated, his posture was exceptionally upright, standing there like a towering mountain, insurmountable and majestic.

His aura was terrifying, like mountains and rivers, endless and boundless.

He Luohua's pupils contracted, and she exclaimed in disbelief.

"Mountain-moving Patriarch?!"
