Chen Yi immediately realized that something was very wrong.

Did someone tamper with the teleportation array and teleport me to another place?

"Or is it that this seal can cut off the teleportation? That's why I had to get off halfway..."

In short, no matter what, he did not return to the Hidden Moon Sect at this moment.

He took out his phone and glanced at the location.

They discovered they were still within the territory of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom.

This forest is located in the Crimson Dragon Mountains, but within the territory of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, it is an undeveloped, uninhabited area.

He thought to himself: Oh no, could this magic seal be the work of Su Boyuan?

After all, isn't the horizontal line on this seal the number "one"?

Su Boyuan's master was Yuan Yi Zhenren of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, so he didn't believe that the two were unrelated.

"Could it be that Master Yuanyi already guessed that I had the incomplete sword formation manual and deliberately left a tracking mark from afar?"

Chen Yi's mind raced.

He was still in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, so it wouldn't be difficult for the Guiyuan Sword Sect to find him.

"I don't know if this seal has any tracking effect. I'm afraid my current location has already been exposed."

Thinking of this, he immediately flew up to a high place and flew quickly in one direction.

He needed to leave the Crimson Dragon Kingdom first. Since this mountain range belonged to the Crimson Dragon Mountain Range, he could definitely leave the territory of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom.

After all, the Crimson Dragon Mountain Range is so vast, with the Hundred Thousand Mountains behind it. It was only named so because a part of it borders the Crimson Dragon Kingdom.

Let's leave the territory of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom first and see if the mark still stings.

Yes, he felt the mudra on the back of his neck burning more and more, as if countless silver needles were repeatedly embroidering on his skin.

Soon, he flew to the vicinity of the border line.

A patrol team spotted him, surrounded him, and demanded to know his identity.

Fortunately, after he showed the Moon Concealment Token, the leader wisely let him pass.

"Captain, what's that token?" a new recruit asked, somewhat puzzled.

The captain sighed, and spoke with a cryptic expression:

"A force that neither you nor I can afford to offend."

The recruit blinked. Those who could join the border patrol team were all graduates of major cultivation academies.

The captain is a seasoned veteran with over forty years of experience and a cultivation level as high as the late Foundation Establishment stage.

It's truly puzzling that such a person would be so wary of that token.

"Why? There's the central courtyard behind us..." the new recruit couldn't help but ask.

Their border patrol team is under the command of a powerful Golden Core cultivator who oversees the "Soldiers' Struggle for Positions." How could they possibly be so wary of a young man?

The captain glanced at the greenhorn and said, "That's right! Within the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, no sect dares to oppose the Central Court."

"But have you ever considered that outside the narrow world you know, there are forces that can rule one or even multiple cultivation kingdoms?"

Upon hearing this, the new recruit's mouth opened slightly, as if he understood.

In other words, that young man was one of those super-rich people?

"As the higher-ups have said, we are in a special period now. When we encounter people from external forces, we should try to avoid friction with them. Those entering the country should be thoroughly investigated, and those leaving the country should be released if possible."

The captain reiterated the orders from above to everyone.

......

"This is not a good situation!"

Chen Yi touched the back of his neck again.

Instead of calming down, the seal became increasingly hot.

Does this mean that someone is looking for us by following the Dharma seal?

Su Boyuan has already fought me once, and because of the confidentiality agreement between us, it's unlikely to be him...

Could someone even more powerful than Su Boyuan really be that Master Yuanyi?

He cursed under his breath: Damn it! I beat up the kid, and the old man came looking for me so quickly?

"If it really is a Golden Core cultivator making a move, my speed might not be enough... I must erase the mark."

He channeled his magical power to the back of his neck, attempting to erase the magical mark.

However, even though he had achieved Foundation Establishment with five strands of true spiritual energy, he was unable to forcibly erase this mark.

This further confirmed his conjecture—the Golden Elixir!

Perhaps only a Golden Core cultivator could leave behind such an indelible mark.

"Since we can't erase it, let's try to hide the traces and avoid being tracked..."

He tried using invisibility and concealment talismans, but to little avail.

He could sense that the person following the Dharma seal was still approaching.

No matter how far he flew, the other party did not change direction and relentlessly pursued the seal.

His brows were furrowed.

He flew while looking behind him through a bronze mirror.

Suddenly, he thought of a solution.

"That's it! A bronze mirror!"

This bronze mirror was once a magical artifact, and the master of that grotto-heaven once hid in the grotto-heaven within the bronze mirror.

The master of that cave was most likely a Golden Core cultivator, and her enemies were probably also Golden Core cultivators, since they were able to keep her soul hidden for so many years.

This means that the cave within the bronze mirror might be able to conceal the investigation of a Golden Core cultivator.

Chen Yi suspected that even during the period when the bronze mirror was broken, it could still prevent the Golden Core from probing.

The reason Song Xin was able to find this bronze mirror using geomancy was probably intentionally orchestrated by the master of the grotto-heaven.

With this thought in mind, he flew directly to a riverbank, threw the bronze mirror into the water, and entered the mirror himself.

Half an hour later, a figure appeared, stepping through the air.

This man had a withered face, a hooked nose, white temples, and a sharp look in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, his lips beneath the mustache rising and falling slightly, and a chilling voice rang out:

"Strange, why did my magic seal disappear here?"

His divine sense radiated outwards, and every blade of grass and every tree was within his perception.

Unfortunately, no trace of them was found.

It was as if his magic seal disappeared upon reaching this point.

“My dear grandson said that the kid is only at the Foundation Establishment stage and has no chance of erasing my magic seal.”

This made him even more puzzled.

"Could it be that the other party possesses a magical artifact capable of shielding them from tracking by Golden Core cultivators?"

"Interesting. He seems to possess another fragment of that sword formation, and also a magical artifact capable of concealing the Golden Core cultivator's tracking. This lad is truly extraordinary! No wonder he managed to defeat my eldest disciple..."

A strange smile appeared on Yuan Yi Zhenren's face.

It was as if a falcon had found an interesting toy...

"I don't believe you can hide forever."

He left those words behind and departed.

Fifteen minutes later, he reappeared in the same place.

Then, they left again.

Another hour later, he reappeared and began searching with his divine sense.

A look of resentment finally appeared on his face, and he flew off in another direction.

......

At this moment, inside the Bronze Mirror Cave.

Chen Yi sat cross-legged in the main hall, with a screen of light in front of him.

This light screen can project the scene outside the bronze mirror.

However, two full hours passed and the water was still flowing outside.

This means that his guess was correct; the bronze mirror could indeed block the detection of a Golden Core cultivator.

"Although I'm safe for now, I'll be discovered again once I leave the bronze mirror. I have to ask the Hidden Moon Sect for help," Chen Yi muttered to himself.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone there.

His gaze drifted down to the area below the main hall, where a figure was resting quietly on a mat...

At this moment, the figure seemed to sense something and slowly opened its eyes.

When she saw the familiar hall, she looked somewhat dazed, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She felt as if she had been having a very long and painful dream...

When she followed the gaze to Chen Yi, she was stunned.

"Who are you?"
