Mortal Seeking Immortal

Seeing that the man in black robe had left, Ye Zhou was relieved. Fortunately, this red-blooded two-headed demon centipede had not activated its spiritual intelligence, so it was frightened and dared not move after feeling Xiao Yuan's breath. If it had been activated, I'm afraid the intelligent spiritual insects are not so easy to fool.

Ye Zhou's eyes fell on the dark gold ring that Xiao Yuan transformed into, but he saw that the light on the ring was much dimmer than before. It seemed that it was due to the forcible improvement of cultivation by running the "Spirit Gathering Technique".

Ye Zhou touched the 'ring' with some distress, and put his hand back into his sleeve without leaving a trace. Xiao Yuan returned to his original shape, weakly got into Ye Zhou's sleeve, found a corner, and began to fall asleep.

At this time, everyone withdrew their sword formations and took back their flying swords. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw the aura on Jade Boat Zhou's body begin to flicker brightly and dimly. Someone exclaimed: "No, this Jade Boat is afraid of being destroyed." It’s scrapped!”

After hearing the words, everyone turned into several streams of light and fled from the jade boat. Ye Zhou and Wu Yong also flew away from the jade boat with everyone.

As soon as everyone stabilized their bodies in the air, they saw the aura dimming on the jade boat. The jade boat shrank to the size of a palm, and cracks appeared on the boat. Then they heard a bang and the jade boat exploded in the air. , turned into a piece of powder.

Everyone's expressions darkened at this moment. Now that there was a demon cultivator following them, without the jade boat to travel for them, they would have to spend more time on the road, and the danger they would encounter would also increase.

Standing in the crowd, a strong and honest-looking male cultivator in the early stage of alchemy formation said: "Fellow disciples, there was too much noise during the battle just now. I am afraid that it will attract other demon cultivators to besiege me. In my opinion, we should hurry up. It’s best to leave here quickly.”

"If you don't mind, I still have a flying boat here that can be used for transportation, but it's not as fast as the fourth elder's jade boat."

Several Danjie realm monks standing beside him all looked up to the male cultivator and immediately raised their hands to the male cultivator and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Zhao."

The rest of the people knew that Feizhou was traveling on his behalf, and no one objected, so they all thanked the monk surnamed Zhao.

At this time, the surrounding demonic clouds had already dissipated, and the huge body of the red-blooded two-headed demonic centipede fell straight from the air to the ground. The monk surnamed Zhao hurriedly stretched out his hand and shot out a spiritual light, and collected the body of the red-blooded two-headed demonic centipede into his bag.

There were several monks around with displeasure in their eyes when they saw this. The corpse of this red-blooded two-headed devil was extremely valuable, so they all worked together to kill it, not willing to let the monk surnamed Zhao monopolize it.

Before anyone could speak, the monk surnamed Zhao hurriedly explained: "We have a large number of people. If we distribute this red-blooded two-headed devil hastily, some people will inevitably be dissatisfied. In my opinion, we should put it away first and wait until we return to the sect." We will allocate it later, don’t worry, I, Zhao Yu, will always act fairly and aboveboard, and will never monopolize this red-blooded two-headed devil centipede.”

As soon as the monk surnamed Zhao finished speaking, someone said, "Are you Senior Brother Zhao Yu, the direct disciple of the headmaster?"

The monk surnamed Zhao nodded, and everyone felt relieved. It seemed that they trusted Zhao Yu very much.

Zhao Yu took out a flying boat from the storage ring and threw it into the air. A flash of light flashed on the flying boat, and the boat instantly grew in size to accommodate dozens of people.

Zhao Yu boarded the flying boat with his sword, followed by Ye Zhou and others.

As soon as Ye Zhou stood still, he saw Zhao Yu taking out hundreds of middle-grade spiritual stones and inserting them into the formation on the flying boat. The formation instantly released several dazzling spiritual lights. Under Zhao Yu's urging, the flying boat moved towards the spiritual stone. It exploded in the direction of the Beast Sect.

Everyone on the flying boat began to find a place to meditate to restore their spiritual power, but Ye Zhou stepped towards Zhao Yu, who was standing in front of the flying boat.

Before Ye Zhou came closer, Zhao Yu had already noticed it. He turned around and looked at Ye Zhou with a smile: "Why does Junior Brother Ye want to see me?"

Ye Zhou's eyes moved slightly. It seemed that Zhao Yu already knew his identity, so he said bluntly: "Senior Brother Zhao wants to go west along the Luo River, passing through Baiyu Mountain and Canglan Lake on the way back to the sect?"

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, as far as I know, this route is the shortest route back to the sect. Does junior brother know of any shorter routes? You might as well speak frankly."

Ye Zhou said: "If this is the case, I would advise senior brother to change the route."

There was a look of confusion in Zhao Yu's eyes. He looked at Ye Zhou without saying a word, waiting for Ye Zhou's explanation.

Ye Zhou said: "Brother, don't you think it's a coincidence that after we retreated from Luoyun City, we encountered two waves of demonic cultivators in a short period of time?"

Zhao Yu frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Are you saying that the demon cultivators have set up an ambush on the shortest route for our retreat in advance?"

Ye Zhou nodded and said: "Yes, I don't think these demon cultivators came here in a hurry to set up an ambush, but rather they seemed to have been waiting for us here for a long time. If we choose the shortest route to rush back to the sect, I'm afraid there will be encounters ahead. There were many ambushes set by demon cultivators.”

"And why was that demon cultivator so sure that we couldn't return to the Spirit Beast Sect when he escaped just now? It must be because he knew that there were other demon cultivators setting up an ambush ahead."

After Ye Zhou finished speaking, Zhao Yu showed a look of appreciation in his eyes and nodded: "Junior Brother Ye's words are reasonable, but I have to inform all my fellow disciples about changing the route first, and then the fellow disciples will decide whether to change the route."

After Zhao Yu said this, he informed the disciples on the flying boat about the matter. After hearing this, the disciples expressed their willingness to change the route. Zhao Yu immediately drew up several routes that were difficult for demon cultivators to set up ambushes and let Ye Zhou choose as he pleased. Choosing one of them, Zhao Yu immediately urged the flying boat to change its direction and detour along the new route towards the direction of the Spiritual Beast Sect.

In just four days, Ye Zhou and his party arrived at the Spirit Beast Sect. When the flying boat flew to the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect, within a hundred feet, a hazy fog suddenly rose from all around, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the flying boat that Ye Zhou and his party were riding.

Everyone's face changed instantly, and they all released their spiritual senses to explore the fog. Who knew that this fog could actually block people's spiritual senses from exploring, and everyone's spiritual senses were blocked by the fog.

Everyone's face sank, and they released all kinds of magic weapons and instruments. The flying boat suddenly flashed with various colors of spiritual light. The surrounding fog seemed to sense the hostility of the people, and the white fog wrapped around the flying boat surged.

At this tense moment, Zhao Yu took out the disciple token from his arms and said, "I am Zhao Yu, the disciple of the head of the Spirit Beast Sect, and I am bringing my fellow disciples back to the sect."

As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, a ray of light flashed through the fog, and the light took the token from Zhao Yu's hand. After a moment, the fog surrounding the flying boat dissipated instantly, and three sword-riding figures appeared in front of the flying boat.

The three people were all wearing the clothes of the Spirit Beast Sect's managers. They released their spiritual sense to carefully scan the inside and outside of the flying boat, and only withdrew their spiritual sense after finding no demonic energy.
