Outside the Demonic Abyss, in the wilderness.

The silver-armored Taiyi was slashed away by the Taiyi puppet's sword, his defensive magic treasures shattered, and he looked extremely disheveled!

He was both shocked and furious. He hadn't expected Gao Yan to be so bold as to dare to defy his superior.

But he also knew that he was no match for Gao Yan Taiyi's puppet, so as he flew backward, he made a slash in the air with his right hand, intending to create a spatial rift to escape.

He had already secretly decided that once he returned to the Lintian Palace's base, he would bring his other colleagues to wipe out Gao Yan and all the people from the Futu Hall!

But immediately, he was stunned, because he had failed to tear through the void. The void suddenly became incredibly hard, and the shock made his palms go numb!

"brush!"

Another sword light struck, seemingly capable of cleaving through the Milky Way.

Seeing that escape was hopeless, the silver-armored Taiyi immediately took out a long spear and began to use his spear skills to continuously bombard the sword light.

"Ding ding ding!"

The sounds of impact rang out in rapid succession, yet they could not shake the sword's edge in the slightest.

"boom!"

The next moment, the sword light struck the silver-armored Taiyi, engulfing him completely!

With a wave of his hand, Gao Yan produced a storage ring. After wiping off the mark on it, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Inside the storage ring of the silver-armored Taiyi, there were only a few hundred billion immortal stones.

The rest were pills, elixirs, and some precious materials for refining weapons and pills, and even two immortal treasures!

"Junior brother...you killed him?"

Fu Tao said tremblingly.

"If he doesn't die, do you think you'll come out on top, Senior Brother?" Gao Yan said calmly.

"Well done!"

Immediately, Fu Tao gritted his teeth and said, then bowed to Gao Yan: "Thank you, junior brother, for avenging me!"

Seeing this, Gao Yan smiled and said, "We are all fellow disciples, isn't this what we should do?"

Then he looked at his two other senior brothers: "Please keep this a secret, can you do that?"

"Don't worry, junior brother. Let's pretend we saw nothing today. If we leak even a single word of this to anyone, may we all suffer a terrible death!"

The other two senior brothers also expressed their opinions, but at the same time, they were also somewhat panicked, fearing that Gao Yan would kill them to silence them, since this matter was too far-fetched.

"That's good!"

Gao Yan nodded, then erased all traces and presence of the three of them and quickly left!

Shortly after they left.

Hu Jiao's figure appeared here.

However, after searching with his divine sense, he found nothing. Immediately, he frowned. He clearly sensed that there were two Taiyi level cultivators fighting here, so why was there no trace of their presence?

After searching again but still finding nothing, he had no choice but to return to his post.

Two days later.

Xuan Yuanpan, the commander of the Silverwing Army, reported to Hu Jiao that one of his Silverwing soldiers had gone missing.

"What is the opponent's cultivation level?"

Hu Jiao asked.

"Seventh level of Taiyi!"

Hu Jiao suddenly looked thoughtful. Two days ago, he sensed that one of the two auras that were fighting was that of a Taiyi Immortal at the seventh level.

"You try to mimic his aura!"

Hu Jiao gave the instructions.

So, Xuanyuan Pan simulated the opponent's aura. Although it was not completely similar, it was still 99% accurate.

"good!"

Now, Hu Jiao was completely certain that one of the Taiyi he had fought two days ago was a subordinate of Xuanyuan Pan. As for who the other one was, he didn't know.

"Xuanyuan Pan, I ask you, where did that Silverwing Army soldier who went missing two days ago go?"

Xuanyuan Pan conjured a map, then pointed to a certain area and said, "Elder, I order him to patrol this area in secret!"

Staring at the map, Hu Jiao narrowed his eyes, because this area was the one under the jurisdiction of the Floating Pagoda Palace.

Inside the Floating Pagoda Hall, there are two Taiyi Ninth Level cultivators: one is Chen Xuan, and the other is Gao Yan's protector.

He was quite familiar with Chen Xuan's aura, but he was unfamiliar with the aura of Gao Yan's protector, since the battle had long ended when they came out of the mountain!

So, the Silverwing Army was killed by Gao Yan's protectors?

Thinking of this, his eyes turned cold, and he ordered Xuanyuan Pan, "Xuanyuan Pan, you personally lead one hundred Silver Wing soldiers to capture Gao Yan and his protectors!"

"Why bother? It's better to play dumb than to act so smart!"

A sudden voice rang out.

The void cracked open, and Gao Yan emerged from it.

He looked at Hu Jiao and Xuan Yuanpan with a mocking expression: "Intelligent people often don't live long, Elder Hu, don't you think?"

"presumptuous!"

Xuanyuan Pan suddenly had a long sword in his hand, which he thrust at Gao Yan like lightning.

But with a wave of his hand, Gao Yan not only shattered the longsword in his hand, but also pulverized his entire body, leaving only a few immortal treasures and a storage ring!

"Who exactly are you?"

Hu Jiao was not surprised by Xuan Yuanpan's death. The fact that Gao Yan was able to sneak here undetected already demonstrated the opponent's strength.

But that brat Xuanyuan Pan actually took the initiative to attack; wasn't that just courting death?

"Of course I'm just making empty promises!"

Gao Yan smiled and said.

"Fellow Daoist Gao, how about we leave this matter here?" Hu Jiao's expression suddenly changed: "How about we pretend nothing happened?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yan was somewhat surprised: "Are you sure?"

"nature!"

Hu Jiao nodded: "To be honest, I can't see through your true cultivation level. To us Great Luo cultivators, the deaths of two mere Taiyi are nothing to worry about. There's no need for us two Great Luo cultivators to risk our lives for two Taiyi. Don't you think so?"
