"No good!"

Li Pu exclaimed.

Suddenly, the old man burst out with a terrifying aura.

In the next moment, this aura suddenly condensed and shrank, and soon gathered into a dark purple light ball.

Boom!

Amidst the rolling aura, a purple light swept out.

A terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

Without any hesitation, Li Pu immediately flew out of the flying boat and sacrificed all his flying swords, rushing towards the purple light.

At the same time, the several Gold Core cultivators who were with him on the flying boat also followed suit.

Although these Gold Core cultivators knew that rushing forward was likely to be killed by the purple light within the dark ball...

They still resolutely charged forward.

People can die, but the flying boat must be protected!

However, just as they were about to rush into the purple light, a circle of colorful light wheels appeared in front of them, perfectly blocking and separating all the purple light.

"Brother Ji?"

Li Pu stood dumbfounded in place.

The purple light continued to rampage on the colorful light wheel, even though the surrounding void had already twisted to the extreme and even started to crack, but...

He, who was behind the light wheel, was not affected by anything other than being slightly annoyed by the aura.

Like this...

The collision between the purple light wheel and the light wheel lasted for several breaths before finally calming down completely.

Seeing that his final attack had failed, the old man in the black robe had an expression of unwillingness in his crimson eyes.

But...

It had come to this.

His strongest attack had already exhausted all the spiritual power in his body, and whatever he did next would be futile.

After hesitating for a moment, he could only grit his teeth and give the order to retreat to the people behind him.

"Do not pursue a defeated enemy."

Seeing the black-robed old man fleeing into the distance, Li Pu also breathed a sigh of relief.

He retrieved all his flying swords and sincerely thanked Ji Boying:

"Brother Ji, you've helped me a lot again this time!"

"To help you is to help myself, Brother Li, no need to be polite."

Ji Boying chuckled lightly, but his tone of voice was somewhat weak.

With his Gold Core divine soul, it was still extremely difficult to temporarily integrate dozens of talismans from the Union without preparation.

And this was with the reduction of soul consumption from his own divine talisman.

If there was no reduction in soul consumption, Ji Boying could integrate at most ten talismans.

Ji Boying slightly calmed his own state and said:

"Brother Li, those demonic cultivators seem to be specifically targeting the flying boat?"

"More accurately, they are after the ring I gave you."

"This ring..."

Ji Boying wanted to ask more, but quickly stopped himself.

"I was curious for a moment and spoke out of turn."

Li Pu smiled and said:

"Actually, even if Brother Ji asked, I wouldn't be able to answer because the things related to this ring are only known by the higher-ups of the trading company headquarters."

"I see..."

Ji Boying nodded slightly, then smiled bitterly:

"Brother Li, your words have increased my pressure!"

"Hahaha! Brother Ji, rest assured, when I return to the Azure Dragon Immortal City... I will invite Brother Ji to the best restaurant in the city for a hearty drink!"

"Then... it's a deal?"

"It's a deal!"

The two chatted for a few more words, and seeing that it was almost time, Ji Boying bid farewell and boarded the flying boat with Li Yueyao.

Accompanied by the surging spiritual power pouring out into the void, the flying boat eventually turned into a light spot and disappeared into the boundless sky.

Ji Boying sat cross-legged in the guest room of the flying boat, constantly digesting the information he had obtained during this period of time.

Especially today...

Even though he had arrived in Zhengyang City, he was still ambushed by the Demon Temple.

And the other party's goal was the ring on his body.

Although he didn't know what this ring meant, but...

From Li Pu and those several Gold Core cultivators risking their lives to protect the flying boat today...

It was not difficult to see the importance of this ring.

"I'm getting more and more confused..."

Ji Boying sighed lightly, then immediately turned his gaze to Li Yueyao.

The latter smiled slightly and walked slowly to Ji Boying's side, taking the initiative to kneel down in front of him...

---

Fulong City...

The sky was stained with blood, and a murderous aura filled the air.

A woman sat on the throne, suspended above the main city of Fulong.

Below her were countless giant blood-colored spirit patterns.

These spirit patterns extended in all directions, connecting the surrounding mountains and rivers, and eventually...

They converged into a blood-colored totem that resembled a dragon!

"Have you not found him yet?"

The woman on the throne spoke indifferently.

In front of her were more than ten Nascent Soul experts kneeling.

Seeing that these Nascent Soul experts did not speak, a cold expression appeared on the woman's face.

"If you still can't find him in the next half month... then you will be sacrificed in the blood formation!"

"Get lost!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul experts scattered in all directions as if they had been granted amnesty.

Even though the Soul Formation experts did not release any pressure, they still made them feel suffocated and fearful.

However...

What they were more afraid of now was not just the Soul Formation experts.

It was whether they could survive in half a month!

Cultivation was not easy. They had worked hard to break through to Nascent Soul, and even if they had no hope of reaching Soul Formation in this lifetime, they did not want to die so easily.

This was how it was in the world of immortals. The longer one lived, the more they feared death.

Damn the long and lonely path of immortality.

I would rather lie in a cave for eight hundred years than die!

Just as this group of Nascent Soul experts had left for not long...

A streak of light flew by in the distance.

A black-robed old man knelt down in front of the throne, crying out in pain:

"I am incompetent and failed to complete the Holy Maiden's mission!"

The woman's expression remained unchanged. She glanced at the old man with icy eyes and said:

"Is that all?"

Upon hearing this, the old man hesitated for a moment before saying:

"We encountered the person the Holy Maiden was looking for during this mission..."

"Hmm?"

The woman's expression changed slightly, and even her middle-aged eyes, as cold as frost, flickered slightly.

"Continue!"

Upon hearing this, the old man recounted his encounter with Ji Boying and the subsequent battle with him.

When she learned that Ji Boying was able to kill Gold Core cultivators with talismans, and even withstand the old man's strongest attack, her face was filled with disbelief.

You see...

Just a few years ago, Ji Boying was only a Qi Refining cultivator in the early stage.

With a mixed spiritual root of the five elements, he was considered a waste.

Later, for some unknown reason, he embarked on the path of Body Refining... But Ji Boying's aptitude was not very good. It was already a great fortune for him to break through to the Bone Forging stage.

As for talismans...

She vaguely remembered that she had already disrupted his thoughts on talisman making before she left.

After all, in the four arts of cultivation, it was difficult for those without exceptional talent to achieve success.

Not to mention someone like Ji Boying with such poor aptitude.

After a long silence, the woman took a deep breath and said:

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"I am sure!"

"Go down."

Upon hearing this, the old man was initially stunned, but quickly reacted and kowtowed to the woman.

"Thank you, Holy Maiden, for sparing my life!"

After saying that, he hurriedly left...

Not long after, only the lonely throne remained in the sky above Fulong City.

She looked at the distant sky and chuckled softly:

"You really... surprised me!"
