Four days later, Li Shiming was immersed in his studies, but he felt a reminder from his soul split, which meant that his soul split had discovered something unusual.
He finished his study with IBM z15 and received the vision of the split soul through shared vision.
The two figures were very far away at first, but they were above the island in an instant. Their speed was so fast that he had never seen anything like it in his life.
The soul fragment, which was a thousand meters away from the island, seemed to be on the verge of collapse under the pressure emanating from one of the figures.
Li Shiming thought of the old monk Du Yuan and the aura leaked by the elders on the Nine Peaks.
"Damn it, how could it be the Jindan Elder!" He was extremely shocked.
He never thought that the person coming this time would be the Jindan Elder.
At this time, he also guessed the identity of this Jindan elder, and there was more than 80% probability that he was Baili Jinyan's father, the elder of the Shengbing Sect, Baili Luo.
Only this Jindan elder would appear in this sea area in person.
No matter which sect, the Jindan elders are extremely mysterious.
Sect affairs will not disturb the Jindan elders, and sect power has no meaning to the Jindan elders.
In the face of absolute strength, power will only become a tool to serve the Jindan Elders.
Just like the Tianhai Sect's Sect Master Yu, his strength is only at the late stage of foundation building. In terms of status and position, he cannot be compared with the Jindan elders, but he is the first person who holds power in the sect.
Li Shiming controlled his soul and dived into the sea at an extremely slow speed.
He did not dare to let the soul fragment get close to him, but instead moved away in another direction.
He even felt a little regretful. He should have stayed further away from the island. A distance of one thousand meters was not safe at all.
Fortunately, the place he chose to hide was at the bottom of the sea. The sea water would greatly affect the perception of the monks. He had tried this a long time ago.
Unless spiritual mind scanning is used on a large scale, it would be difficult to find him hiding among the reefs on the seabed.
Li Shiming switched his vision to the eye mask, which was connected to the pinhole probe that flashed in the cave on the island.
It has come to this point. Whether it is the foundation building or the golden elixir, the traps have been prepared and he doesn't need to take any risks.
Wei Yun entered the cave first. He was shocked to find that there were no two late Qi Refining cultivators in the cave hall.
He had never thought of the possibility that the two late Qi Refining cultivators would escape. The two late Qi Refining cultivators grew up in the Holy Ice Sect since childhood, enjoying the sect's resources and were almost tied to the sect.
More importantly, without the sect’s resources, the two late Qi Refining cultivators would have no chance of making any further progress.
You must know that what they practice is the main technique of the Holy Ice Sect, and its resources are almost monopolized by the Holy Ice Sect.
Besides, treason is a serious crime. No matter where you flee to, as long as you are still on this continent, you will be hunted down by the sect forever.
If you stay, you may not die, but if you run away, you will definitely die.
"Master, they may go to Tianhai Sect to try to assassinate us again!" Wei Yun bowed to Elder Baili, whose face was as gloomy as water.
"Wei Yun, you are in charge of the sect's intelligence and assassinations, but it seems that you have neglected your duties!" Elder Baili said in a deep voice.
He didn't care about the two Qi-refining monks, he only cared about things related to Baili Jinyan. For example, he wanted Li Shiming to die, but Li Shiming was still alive, which made him very dissatisfied.
This time, he originally planned to set a strategy on the two Qi-refining monks, so that the two Qi-refining monks could intercept and kill Li Shiming in the sea between Yingzui Island and Jiufeng.
If they did this, the two Qi-refining monks would most likely be killed by the Tianhai Sect, but if they survived, it would also be a settlement for their previous mistake.
But when he arrived, the two Qi-refining monks were not there, so the plan could not be carried out, which of course made him very angry.
"Master, why don't I do it? As long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any problem!" Wei Yun said with a shameful look on his face.
"Stupid! You are my direct disciple. If you are discovered, I will be implicated!" Elder Baili shouted angrily. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Give the monks in the sect a task. Whoever can kill Li Shiming will be accepted as my registered disciple!"
For more than half a year, there was no news about Baili Jinyan. Elder Baili knew that the possibility of his son surviving was getting lower and lower.
He regards revenge as more important than anything else, but whether it is from within the sect or from the Tianhai and Xuanming sects, he cannot take revenge freely.
The key to the matter is not a small fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator. At present, he has almost cleared out all the cultivators related to Baili Jinyan’s disappearance in the Shengbing Sect, as well as the related cultivators in the Tianhai Sect.
The reason why I said almost is because there was still Yin Shilan whom he couldn't do anything to.
Now he discovered that Li Shiming, who was very close to Yin Shilan, the Li Shiming who made his son Baili Jinyan angry, was still alive.
You should know that several cultivators in Shengbing Sect who instigated Baili Jinyan to go to Tianhai Sect were all caught by Elder Baili and tortured to death. In Tianhai Sect, the three Qi-refining cultivators who spread the gossip on Changming Island were also tortured to death.
Of course, Elder Baili never thought that Li Shiming or other Qi-refining cultivators were the murderers of Baili Jinyan's disappearance. He had a very clear understanding of his son's strength.
In the Qi Refining Stage, at least on this continent, it is hard to find an opponent.
The only ones who could threaten Baili Jinyan and make it impossible for him to escape were powerful beings in the Foundation Establishment Stage, or someone in the Golden Core Stage who had taken action.
However, after a period of investigation, no suspicious persons were found among the powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators and the Golden Core cultivators.
Elder Baili had no place to vent his anger, so Li Shiming naturally became the direct target of his anger.
"Yes, I will issue the task when I return to the sect!" Wei Yun was quite surprised. He did not expect that his master, Elder Baili, would offer such huge benefits.
Even though they are registered disciples, the status of the Jindan elder's registered disciples in the sect exceeds that of most foundation-building cultivators.
This is a chance to receive direct guidance from the Jindan Elder. For most of the cultivators in the sect, this is a great opportunity.
Wei Yun was thinking, if such a task was issued, how many days could Li Shiming survive?
For this great opportunity, the monks of the sect might dare to take action near the Nine Peaks of Tianhai Sect.
Li Shiming saw and heard everything that happened in the cave.
He was furious. He had not expected that Elder Baili, a powerful Jindan master, would actually target him, a mere Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator.
Until now, he still hasn't figured out whether Elder Baili discovered the real cause of Baili Jinyan's death or there were other reasons.
He never thought that the reason why Elder Baili was staring at him was mostly because of Yin Shilan.
"Go to hell!" Li Shiming's heart trembled. He connected to the formation of the cave through the submarine cable and transmitted the detonation command into the cave.
Elder Baili was the first to sense the faint and strange energy fluctuations. He looked at the ground and saw no signs of any spiritual energy fluctuations, but it gave him a strong sense of threat.
"Very good, there is actually an arrangement here. I want to see which fellow Taoist it is?" He was not surprised, but said with some excitement.
He had been investigating Baili Jinyan's disappearance for a long time, but had not found any useful clues.
Now that a monk has taken the initiative to set a trap, it means that the monk hiding in the dark will appear soon.
As for danger, Baili Luo is in the Jindan stage. The number of cultivators who died at his hands is at least thousands, if not tens of thousands. He has achieved his current achievements by stepping on countless corpses.
He was not afraid of fighting at all. He hoped to meet the person behind the scenes and have a good fight.
It is not without reason that Elder Baili regards the arrangement here as a means to deal with the existence of the same level.
First of all, the arrangements made by ordinary foundation-building cultivators could not make him feel threatened at all. Moreover, it was impossible for a foundation-building cultivator to dare to set a trap for a Jindan cultivator.
As for Qi-refining cultivators, they were not even within his consideration.
What a joke, what kind of cultivator is he except for his son?
A small dagger appeared in front of him, and Wei Yun quickly retreated behind his master. With his master here, it was not his turn to take action.
However, Elder Baili and Wei Yun never expected that the attack came from some unknown way, a way they had never thought of.
No ordinary object can harm a cultivator, especially a Qi-refining cultivator.
Therefore, in the secular world, a country only needs one cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage to garrison there.
The purpose of this resident cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage was not to deal with the secular world, but to suppress the existence of independent cultivators.
This shows the monks' contempt for the secular world. There has never been any case of secular people harming monks in this world.
Two tons of solid explosives were carefully prepared by Li Shiming and produced according to the strictest military standards of his previous life. They exploded right under the feet of Elder Baili and Wei Yun.
Even though Li Shiming was thousands of meters away, hiding inside the underwater reef, he could still feel the sudden shaking of heaven and earth.
The reef made a slight cracking sound, but fortunately it did not collapse.
Flames and shock waves appeared in the relatively small cave along with a loud bang.
Two tons of solid explosives, enough to destroy a mountain, were used on Elder Baili and Wei Yun.
The small dagger in front of Elder Baili turned into a giant sword, blocking his body, while a beam of light came out from his other hand.
This beam of light cleared away all the explosion flames, rubble, etc. above, forming a passage.
The terrifying Jindan monk displayed his ultimate strength in the face of such an explosion.
Of course, Elder Baili was caught off guard by the sudden explosion, and almost all the power was first applied to the giant sword.
Weapons in the Jindan stage are called magic weapons. Jindan cultivators nurture the magic weapons in their Jindan, and the material must be of at least the third grade.
Elder Baili has always believed that offense is the best defense, so when faced with a trap, he took out a sword-shaped magic weapon.
The sword-shaped magic weapon is not a defensive magic weapon, but with its power, it can still be used for defense. However, this will cause great damage to the magic weapon itself.
Elder Baili used all his strength to attack and created a way out of the passage, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The light on the surface of the giant sword in front of him dimmed rapidly. He wanted to take back the giant sword, but due to the explosion just now, the giant sword suffered extremely serious damage. The inscriptions inside and the spiritual power of recognizing the master were all destroyed in the explosion.
The destruction of the magic weapon connected to one's own aura is almost equivalent to a serious blow to a Jindan cultivator.
Elder Baili's scalp tingled. He felt the breath of death. If he stayed any longer, the hidden golden elixir would appear and he would really be left here.
At this point, he no longer had time to care about his personal disciple Wei Yun.
He didn't even have time to retrieve the damaged magic weapon. With the blood he spat out, his body turned into a streak of blood and disappeared in the explosion.
Everything happened so fast that when Wei Yun realized that his master was missing, he himself was completely exposed in the explosion.
Li Shiming did overestimate the foundation-building cultivators. He regarded Wei Yun as the foundation-building version of Baili Jinyan, but in fact he was wrong.
Cultivators like Baili Jinyan are extremely rare. He has a father in the Jindan stage and is valued by the sect. He enjoys the best resources and practices the strongest skills. Whether it is his physique, spiritual power or soul, he has achieved comprehensive development.
It was obvious that Wei Yun was just a normal foundation-building cultivator and had not done any research on body refining.
This is also the norm for cultivators. A large amount of resources are needed to cultivate the body during the Qi Refining Stage. When it comes to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the resources will not be less at all, but will become more precious.
It is already very good for a normal cultivator to have enough resources to cultivate spiritual power. How could he have extra resources to consider body training?
Because of the presence of Elder Baili, Wei Yun did not even make any defense at first. His defense was not as strong as the one that Elder Baili casually arranged.
Elder Baili's blood escape allowed him to face the explosion without any preparation.
The spiritual power outside his body was torn apart by the violent explosion, and the explosion also tore apart his body and his life.
Li Shiming saw the blood shadow escaping into the distance through the last look of his split soul. The terrifying aura made his split soul tremble continuously.
Then the shock wave of the explosion arrived and completely shattered the soul.
The soul that was supposed to exist for ten days was destroyed in just four days.
Li Shiming waited for the aftermath of the explosion to end, then immediately rushed out from the reef.
He was 100% sure that the one who escaped was the Jindan Elder Baili Luo, so the other Foundation Establishment cultivator died in the explosion.
The items left behind by a foundation-building cultivator, even if you can get just a little bit, would be an extremely considerable fortune.
He had to move quickly, as the commotion here was quite loud. Although this place was a thousand miles away from the sect's formation, it was not far away. The power of two tons of solid explosives and the shock wave generated would soon be sensed by the sect's formation.
The wings behind him allowed Li Shiming to reach the explosion site at an extremely fast speed. The island had disappeared long ago, and even the part in the sea was completely gone.
He used his spiritual power to the fullest, constantly scanning the sea, trying to find any remaining items.
He discovered a corpse in the Foundation Establishment Stage. The skeleton was relatively intact, but some of the flesh and blood was missing, and only one tenth of the robe on the body remained.
However, a pitch-black storage bag was preserved intact, which was also a pleasant surprise.
His spiritual sense discovered another piece of sword-shaped metal. The fluctuations of spiritual energy on it made his heart palpitate. He put it away without thinking too much.
