Chapter 257: They Are Coming, They Are Chasing
“Alright!”
“Then let them go now!”
Ji Yang said casually.
Steward Wu turned his gaze towards Elder Guan.
Elder Guan pondered for a moment and did not change his mind. He merely waved his hand, signaling to release the disciples of He Dao Sect.
“Senior Brother Ji, let’s fight him!”
“It’s just an elder! Senior Brother Ji, you can do it!”
Some released disciples of He Dao Sect, unable to bear leaving Ji Yang behind, shouted loudly.
Ji Yang was speechless.
It was just an elder; he wanted to say that lightly.
Before Ji Yang could speak, another disciple from He Dao Sect chimed in:
“Brothers, let’s leave quickly! Otherwise, Senior Brother Ji’s efforts will be in vain!”
“Once we return to the sect, we can ask Master to take action. He will definitely be able to rescue Senior Brother Ji!”
Many disciples, upon hearing this, thought it made sense and fell silent.
Seeing that several disciples of He Dao Sect had been freed, the other disciples who were originally imprisoned also begged Ji Yang, hoping he would include them as well.
Ji Yang paid no attention to their pleas; he couldn’t even care for his own sect’s disciples, let alone others.
After all the disciples of He Dao Sect were released, Elder Guan also lifted the spells surrounding them.
As the dirt wall disappeared, many disciples of He Dao Sect cupped their fists and bowed to Ji Yang before flying away without looking back.
The style of the demonic path cultivators was something they dared not compliment.
Perhaps in one moment they would let them go, and in the next, they would grab them back.
That would truly make Senior Brother Ji’s efforts futile.
Naturally, they could not miss this opportunity.
“What now? You have let all these disciples go; you can release them now, right?”
Seeing all the disciples escape, Elder Guan simply looked towards Ji Yang.
Ji Yang smiled and said:
“Not yet, let’s wait for a stick of incense.”
“Hmph!”
After hearing this, Elder Guan snorted coldly but did not take further action.
As time passed, the smile on Elder Guan’s face grew increasingly bright.
He muttered to himself:
"Almost done."
Steward Wu, standing nearby, felt puzzled.
What does he mean by almost done?
Just then, he saw a light barrier quickly form below everyone.
Inside the light barrier, countless threads twirled around.
These threads moved at lightning speed, and in an instant, they had entangled Ji Yang completely!
Seeing this, Steward Wu looked surprised:
“What?!”
As Ji Yang got bound, Elder Guan could not help but burst into laughter:
“You’ve been caught, kid!”
“I want to see how you escape from my Thousand Threads Formation!”
With that, Elder Guan revealed his hands, now holding a formation disc.
It turned out that the real reason Elder Guan had not rushed earlier was that he was secretly setting up the formations!
Now that the formation was complete, it was time to control Ji Yang.
“Elder Guan is brilliant!”
Steward Wu hurriedly praised.
Elder Guan merely snorted:
“Why aren’t you off to catch those fleeing disciples of He Dao Sect?!”
“Understood!”
Steward Wu, receiving the command, quickly took a group onto the spiritual boat and sped off into the distance!
Meanwhile, Elder Guan strolled leisurely towards Ji Yang.
Especially when he saw Ji Yang struggling hard, trying to break free from those threads, Elder Guan laughed even more:
“Kid, stop the useless effort.”
“This formation, not just you, even a cultivator of the same rank would find it hard to escape once caught!”
However, before Elder Guan could bask in his joy,
he noticed Ji Yang, who had been struggling, was now smiling:
“I’ve known for a long time that you have ill intentions.”
“I planned to let her go, but since you won’t keep your promise, don’t blame me!”
Seeing the smile on Ji Yang’s face, Elder Guan felt a sudden sense of unease.
Then, he watched in shock as Ji Yang scattered countless illusory feathers from his body, effortlessly freeing himself from the entwined threads.
The formation he had set up could not hold Ji Yang in place!
Again with that move!
Elder Guan quickly realized that the spell Ji Yang used was the same one from earlier, but now it was executed even more perfectly!
Seeing Ji Yang escape the binds of the formation, Elder Guan’s smile vanished, and he shouted:
“Kid, don’t run!”
Before he could pursue, Ji Yang kicked Ren Yuning away and launched a streak of sword energy at her!
After releasing the sword energy, Ji Yang didn’t look back and flew towards the distance!
Elder Guan, eager to chase, suddenly changed his expression. He flashed and appeared in front of Ren Yuning, intercepting Ji Yang’s sword energy with his hand!
Gripping the sword energy tightly, an inaudible sound echoed in the air.
However, when Elder Guan glanced at the blood mark on his palm, his face turned pale.
He had intended to be the first to catch Ji Yang, but sensing the unusual power of that sword energy made him quickly shift his focus to protect Ren Yuning!
After all, saving her was more important than capturing Ji Yang.
His decision was wise; if he hadn’t acted, Ren Yuning’s body would have been cold by now!
Thinking of how close he had come to failing, Elder Guan felt intense anger.
Looking into the distance, he coldly laughed:
“Kid, do you think you can escape like this? I want to see how far you can run!”
Then, he ordered a few nearby maidens:
“Take good care of Junior Ren!”
With that, Elder Guan transformed into a streak of Escape Light and sped after Ji Yang!
Ji Yang, leaving the Demon Spirit Mine, unleashed all his power, hiding his realm no longer. With the Art of Ascension, his speed surpassed that of any Nascent Soul Stage cultivator!
Meanwhile, a black turtle clung tightly to his sleeve, shouting:
“They’re coming, they’re coming! Hurry up!”
Having sensed Ji Yang’s attempt to escape, the black turtle quickly jumped on board to ensure Ji Yang wouldn’t run away without him!
Now, it was even more anxious than Ji Yang.
If Ji Yang got caught, all the times it had entered the mine would have been for nothing!
And the hope for pills would vanish too!
As Ji Yang sprinted at full speed, he sensed Elder Guan pursuing him from behind.
Although he was fast, the primordial spirit energy revealed that Elder Guan was even faster.
At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for Elder Guan to catch up!
Ji Yang couldn’t help but sigh; the gap in their strength was still quite significant.
If only he could elevate a realm, it would surely be no problem!
