Although Li Ze ran away first, the attraction to the evil energy in his body was still there. He wanted to lure Ji Lin to his side, otherwise, given the current situation of the Chi Dan Sect members, they would also be doomed if they faced Ji Lin.
At first, there were quite a few demons following behind Li Ze, but when they discovered that Ji Lin was still chasing after Li Ze, they changed direction.
The demons all left and disappeared without a trace, and Li Ze also stopped the suction force of the evil energy in his body.
He had already run a distance long enough for the people from the Crimson Pill Sect to escape.
Li Ze completely suppressed his murderous aura, leaving not a trace, then flipped over and leaped onto the snow wolf's back. "Snow Wolf, run!"
Upon hearing this, the snow wolf landed on the ground, burrowed into the forest, and ran wildly through the woods.
Li Ze grabbed the snow wolf's white fur, climbed onto its back, and heard the whistling wind in his ears. Under the dense trees, it was so dark that it was almost impossible to see any light.
Li Ze dared not release his divine sense, fearing that Ji Lin would follow it. He didn't remember how long the snow wolf had been running, about several hours. When the snow wolf ran from the mountains and forests to the vast grasslands, he finally spoke, "Snow Wolf, you can stop now."
The snow wolf gradually slowed down and finally came to a smooth stop.
Only then did Li Ze release his divine sense, and after detecting that Ji Lin was nowhere to be found within a radius of several miles, he breathed a sigh of relief. But then his brows furrowed again; Ji Lin's aura seemed to be growing increasingly terrifying.
Unexpectedly, he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and his opponent's strength also increased, making the day of revenge seem far away.
Several more months passed. During this time, Li Ze and Snow Wolf encountered several groups of cultivators, but he avoided them from a distance. They also met a few demons. Li Ze told them that the battlefield between gods and demons was controlled by a large formation, allowing entry but not exit. The demons were skeptical, unsure if they believed Li Ze, but they said they would tell the Demon King and then hurriedly left.
"It's been seven years since I came here. I should have looted most of those treasures, cultivation techniques, pill formulas, and spirit stones and veins. Shouldn't we start thinking about leaving?" Li Ze muttered to himself.
The snow wolf looked up at Li Ze and rubbed its big head against Li Ze's waist.
Li Ze rubbed the snow wolf's big head. "Let's go back and find Mo Xingjue."
Mo Xingjue had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm a few days ago. Worried that Li Ze wouldn't be able to find him when he returned, he didn't leave. Instead, he lingered nearby, searching for Li Ze and the snow wolf.
On this day, Mo Xingjue flew around the high school as usual, searching for Li Ze and the snow wolf. When a white figure entered his sight, Mo Xingjue's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down and he felt completely at ease.
As Li Ze flew on his sword, he saw a phantom image, and the next moment, he landed in a warm embrace.
The familiar aura enveloped him completely, much like an animal marking its possession. Li Ze felt no resistance whatsoever, and relaxed entirely, leaning his weight onto Mo Xingjue.
"Why did it take you so long?" Mo Xingjue's voice was muffled, with a hint of grievance.
“Something happened.” Li Ze patted Mo Xingjue’s back. He hadn’t thought it was very dangerous at the time, but now he couldn’t help but feel scared.
When Xue Qingge and the others encountered the demon army, the first image that popped into his mind was Mo Xingjue's face. His hesitation, his indecisiveness between helping and not helping, was largely due to the person standing before him.
What will happen to Mo Xingjue if he dies?
This is probably the biggest difference between having a partner and being alone. When you have someone to care about, you have to be responsible for them, and any decision that involves your life becomes more serious.
"What happened? Are you hurt?" Mo Xingjue checked Li Ze over and over, and only felt relieved when he saw that there were no wounds or bloodstains on him.
"I'm fine, it's Sect Leader Xue and the others who are in trouble."
Next, Li Ze recounted the events of the past few months in detail. His tone was gentle and calm, as if it were just ordinary conversation, but it made Mo Xingjue's heart tremble.
After Li Ze finished speaking, Mo Xingjue hugged him tightly, saying, "From now on, don't leave my sight for even a moment."
It was Ji Chuan, Ji Shuo, and Ji Lin again. In just a few months, he had provoked all three Demon Kings of the Demon Realm. His luck was truly incredible.
Li Ze hummed in agreement, then brought up other matters, "What are Sect Leader Zhuang and the others doing now? Are they planning to break the formation?"
Mo Xingjue shook his head, "I didn't see them, I don't know where they went."
No sooner had Mo Xingjue finished speaking than his jade slip lit up.
The person who contacted Li Ze was Zhuang Mao, who gave them the general location and asked them to go there to meet up.
"The spiritual and demonic energy here has noticeably weakened. It seems everyone is planning to leave," Li Ze said.
"I don't know how many people are left now. If they want to get out, it might not be so easy," Mo Xingjue said.
"I revealed the formation to a few demons. Ji Chuan and Ji Shuo should already know. I wonder what they're thinking. If the demons can work together to break the formation, their chances of success might be higher."
"Even if we don't join forces, the best outcome would be if each of us destroyed the formation on our own."
Li Ze and Mo Xingjue were notified to come to the assembly; other cultivators also received the news and rushed over. Li Ze encountered many people on the way.
When these cultivators saw the two humans and the wolf, their expressions changed. Some just observed them from afar, while others came up to greet them.
"Nephew Xingjue, it's only been a short time since we last met, and you've already reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!" Jiang Qingtang, the sect master of the Floating Wandering Sect, exclaimed in astonishment.
Is Mo Xingjue over forty years old?
His eldest disciple, Le You, is twice the age of Mo Xingjue, and is currently only at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Several years have passed, and it is unknown whether he has reached the Nascent Soul stage yet.
But this Mo Xingjue in front of me is actually at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!
What an incredible, monstrous talent!
Mo Xingjue bowed to Jiang Qingtang as a junior, but did not mention his advancement. Instead, he asked, "Sect Master Jiang, are you also going to join them?"
"Yes, it's about the formation," Jiang Qingtang replied, knowing that Mo Xingjue was unwilling to discuss cultivation levels, he changed the subject, "Is this your Daoist partner?"
What he actually meant was that this was a demon.
Jiang Qingtang sized up Li Ze, thinking that with his appearance and temperament, it would be hard to find a second one like him in the cultivation world. No wonder Mo Xingjue rejected millions of people but chose him.
What's scary is that this person is also at the Nascent Soul stage, and has such a youthful face. Could he not be over forty years old yet?
Mo Xingjue's lips curled up slightly when he heard about his Dao Companion's son. "That's right, this is my Dao Companion, his name is Li Ze. Aze, this is Sect Master Jiang of the Floating Sect."
"Sect Leader Jiang." Li Ze nodded slightly to Jiang Qingtang, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Fellow Daoist Li Ze looks very young, how old are you?" Jiang Qingtang asked the question that had been on his mind.
"In his twenties," Li Ze said. His bone age was in his twenties, but he didn't know the exact number himself.
Jiang Qingtang's eyes widened suddenly, and after a long while he murmured, "So it's not just his appearance, but also his talent, which is unparalleled in ten thousand years."
