Li Yuanba was flying above the sea. Fifty meters to his left was the Great Elder Wei Xi, and fifty meters to his right was the Great Elder Mo Bao.

Behind him were Great Elder Lan Hongxi and Great Elder Ling Qin. The combined fighting power of the five great elders entered the battlefield.

Li Yuanba was not overconfident. He did not want to rely on luck every time. The remaining two great elders of Tianxing Trading Company, one was a thunder cultivator and the other a body cultivator, were not easy to deal with.

So he agreed to go out with the four great elders, which was a joint effort of the six major sects. As for Qianye Temple, after the death of the Great Arhat Zhihuo, Qianye Temple has not sent a second Great Arhat.

There was another picture in Li Yuanba's mind, which was the monitoring picture of the drone satellite system transmitted from the original body Li Shiming.

This group of great elder-level monks have been here for more than an hour and have met many monks along the way. They thought the news of their appearance should have been reported back to Yongle Island long ago, but it seems that there has been no response from Yongle Island.

In the core area of ​​Yongle Island, Patriarch Jin Kai was looking at the information in his hands.

In front of him, Great Elder You Xia and Great Elder Sun Ao stood respectfully with their hands clasped.

"Sun Ao, the cultivators we sent out found a suspicious place. Go over and check if it is the place we are looking for?" Patriarch Jin Kai casually threw a jade slip to the great elder Sun Ao and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Great Elder Sun Ao took the jade slip and bowed in response.

"Ancestor, the great elders of the six major sects outside are provoking us. What do you think?" Elder You Xia asked carefully.

"Why bother with them?" Patriarch Jin Kai waved his hand indifferently.

Although he was the one who promoted the Yongle battlefield, he did not attach much importance to it.

“Ancestor, the Jindan cultivators we have bribed now are joining us because they see that we can fight against the six major sects. Once we let them think that we cannot fight against the six major sects, I’m worried that many Jindan cultivators will leave!” Great Elder Youxia stated his reasons.

In order to attract the Jindan monks from the Northern Shu Continent to join them, the contract set up was very loose, but the treatment was extremely high.

"Sun Ao, you should go and investigate. You can't deal with those great elders alone. Let the Jindan cultivators who have defected take action first and kill more of the Jindan cultivators on the opposite side. We have invested so many resources, it's not in vain to support them!" Patriarch Jin Kai thought for a while and said.

The death of Great Elder Shi Ming disrupted the plans of Patriarch Jin Kai.

He also didn't want to transfer another elder from the Tianxing Trading Company's headquarters. Tianxing Trading Company was not without enemies, and mobilizing too much combat power would affect the stability of other places.

"Yes, ancestor!" Great Elder Youxia bowed.

He really wanted to meet the Jindan cultivator who killed the great elder Shi Ming, Li Yuanba, who was rumored to be the best person below the Yuanying stage in the Northern Shu continent.

But since the ancestor has said so, he must obey.

"What we need is to delay time, not to fight for a temporary victory here. When we find our target and leave, you can kill as many people as you want!" Ancestor Jin Kai knew his mood and shook his head.

When Great Elder Sun Ao left the core area, he was wearing a black robe, which was a magical weapon that could conceal his aura.

The aura of a great elder's body training on his body was hidden by the black robe. His figure flashed and flew to the left. He intended to bypass the battlefield and the opposite coast.

With the help of this magical weapon that can conceal his aura, he can freely pass through the areas of medium-sized sects on both sides without being discovered by their formations.

He was not invisible, perhaps he was extremely confident that his actions would not be discovered.

The most powerful thing about this magical weapon that can conceal his aura is that it will not affect his ability to exert his strength. With the strength of a great elder of body refining, he can pass through the sphere of influence of a medium-sized sect. On the premise that his aura is not discovered by the formation, he is confident that he will not be discovered by any cultivator due to his powerful body refining strength.

But he didn't know that the drone satellite system monitoring the area in the sky was paying special attention to him when he flew towards the medium-sized sect on the left.

That direction was blocked by a medium-sized sect and cultivators from the six major sects, with a large sect formation in place. Once intercepted there, they would be besieged by a group of Jindan cultivators and the cooperation of the large formation.

Of course, this blockade is also aimed at a large number of monks. No matter how perfect the blockade is, there will always be loopholes for individual monks with special abilities.

But in all these days, this was the first monk who wanted to pass from the left.

After Li Shiming discovered Great Elder Sun Ao, although he did not know the Great Elder Sun Ao's identity, he still left the mountain gate.

As long as he doesn't go to the Yongle battlefield, the sect will not ask him about it.

After leaving the mountain gate, he activated the 'Secret Art of Concealing Souls' and 'Secret Art of Concealing the Sky' in succession, and used the 'Lotus Blooms at Every Step' to move at an extremely fast speed in the shadows.

He was extremely curious about what Tianxing Trading Company was doing, so he did not want to intercept the cultivator immediately, but instead prepared to track and investigate his purpose.

On Li Yuanba's side, he grabbed a mid-stage Jindan cultivator with one hand, activated his telepathy, and tried to invade his mind.

This kind of Jindan middle-stage cultivator, who relied on elixirs to forcibly improve himself and had a relatively weak spirit, had no mental strength left to resist when his "telepathy" was activated at close range.

He was using his telepathy to interrogate the purpose of Tianxing Trading Company, but this was already the fifth Jindan cultivator he had captured, and none of the five Jindan cultivators knew the purpose of Tianxing Trading Company.

He was even more surprised to find that these Jindan cultivators who were attacking the cultivators from the Northern Shu Continent were all native cultivators from the Northern Shu Continent, and they had only joined the Tianxing Trading Company in the past year.

When he learned about Tianxing Trading Company's generous treatment and relaxed contract terms through his telepathy, he felt that Tianxing Trading Company was a great benefactor in the world of immortal cultivation.

How is this possible? There is no way such a force can exist in the world of immortal cultivation. No matter how much Tianxing Trading Company invests, its plan will yield a hundred times the investment.

Tianxing Trading Company made such a big fuss, Li Yuanba absolutely did not believe that it was just to do business in the Northern Shu Continent. If it was really for business, how could it be possible that they bribed Jindan cultivators in this way, and it was just to fight against the six major sects.

It is estimated that the six major sects have also discovered this, but they also do not know the purpose of Tianxing Trading Company.

"Fellow Daoist Li, go back. It seems they are scared!" Elder Wei Xi said in a deep voice.

They had been out for a day, but looking at the results of the battle, they were all Jindan early and middle stage cultivators who were killed after receiving the distress signal. Looking at the spiritual objects in their space items, they were all local cultivators.

"Okay!" Li Yuanba nodded in agreement.

Their actions were such a waste, the five great elders were doing things that ordinary sect disciples could do.

They evacuated from the Yongle battlefield and everything went extremely smoothly.

At this time, Great Elder Sun Ao had already sneaked through the blockade of the medium-sized sect on the left, went up the coast from there, and headed towards the inland of the Northern Shu Continent.

After leaving the sea, his speed suddenly increased significantly.

In his hand, a jade slip was constantly explored by his divine sense. He compared the scenery in front of him with the map in the jade slip.

From time to time, he would bypass some areas occupied by powerful sects. His familiarity with the Northern Shu Continent came from the intelligence that Tianxing Trading Company had previously sent back from this force.

After more than thirty hours, he finally arrived at the location marked on the jade slip.

"Greetings, Great Elder!" A cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core walked out from the darkness, excitement flashing in his eyes. He bowed and saluted to the Great Elder Sun Ao.

This mid-stage Jindan cultivator was named Jiang Shu. He was a local cultivator, but because he accepted more stringent conditions and showed obedience to Tianxing Trading Company in the test, he was given another task.

This task is very simple. As long as he explores a designated area, he can obtain a considerable amount of resources.

And once you report useful information, you can be recalled to the headquarters of Tianxing Trading Company and receive better treatment.

A group of Jindan monks accepted this task. They were all local Jindan monks and most of them returned to their respective areas to explore, so their actions did not arouse much suspicion.

"Tell me about your findings!" Great Elder Sun Ao waved his hand to stop Jiang Shu from speaking and gave the order directly.

"Please follow me!" Jiang Shu quickly pointed to a place and said.

Great Elder Sun Ao nodded and followed him.

"I was holding the compass at the waterfall in front of me and found that the compass began to rotate continuously, which was consistent with the mission description, so I sent a signal back!" Jiang Shu said, pointing to the waterfall in the distance.

He didn't know what the compass was for, and the task was very simple, which was to walk around with the compass until he encountered an abnormal movement of the compass.

He was very lucky and found this place not long after he returned and explored.

He was already thinking about the rewards he would receive, becoming an important member of the Tianxing Trading Company and obtaining a large amount of cultivation resources, which would affect his life.

Tianxing Trading Company is a powerful force that can make the six major sects bow their heads. Just look at its ability to compete with the six major sects, and you will know how powerful it is.

In the past, with Jiang Shu's background and qualifications, he would not be able to join a powerful force like the six major sects.

If you don't join a powerful force like the six major sects, you won't have enough resources to practice, and you will have no future.

It was this point that made him willing to join Tianxing Trading Company and work for Tianxing Trading Company even at the risk of becoming enemies with the six major sects. Even if he wanted to work for the six major sects, the six major sects would not give him a chance.

This was his chance, and he actually seized it.

Great Elder Sun Ao's eyes lit up, he increased his speed and arrived in front of the waterfall.

He took out a better quality compass from the space items and injected a stream of spiritual power into the compass. Several rays of light flashed on the compass.

"There are spatial fluctuations, but these spatial fluctuations are not strong!" His expression changed with the light on the compass, and he muttered to himself.

There was more disappointment on his face. With this level of spatial fluctuations, this was not the target they were looking for.

Li Shiming looked at Great Elder Sun Ao from afar. He analyzed what Jiang Shu said through his 'Divine Eyes' and lip reading.

He knew that he had found the right person. Maybe Jiang Shu didn't know much, but Elder Sun Ao must know all the circumstances.

He took a step forward, a step that was so close yet so far away, and he appeared a hundred meters away from Great Elder Sun Ao.

"Who?" The compass in the hand of Great Elder Sun Ao suddenly burst out with a particularly eye-catching light. At the same time, he sensed a fluctuation of energy. He immediately looked in the direction of Li Shiming and shouted.

The compass in his hand was specially designed for detecting spatial fluctuations. Li Shiming's "A World Away at a Distance" was a magical power of space movement, and the magical power of space movement was a space movement power, so the reaction of the compass would be particularly large.

Li Shiming did not answer him, but appeared and waved his hand. Twelve silver corpses holding third-grade formation flags surrounded the area, including Great Elder Sun Ao and Jiang Shu.

The twelve silver corpses he released were purposefully arranged, and they directly transformed into a formation.

Elder Sun Ao did not take action immediately. He was able to track him here silently, so Li Shiming must be very powerful.

"Master Li!" Jiang Shu exclaimed at this time.

Although Jiang Shu was a casual cultivator, he had an uneasy heart. He once thought about selling himself to Master Li Shiming and even bought Master Li's portrait. Unfortunately, Master Li would not even meet him, and even some well-known Jindan cultivators had no chance to meet Master Li.

But Jiang Shu will never forget the appearance of Master Li, this is the alchemy master he dreams of meeting.

At this moment, Master Li was right in front of him, but he couldn't be happy.

It was obvious that Master Li had discovered that he had betrayed the six major sects. Not to mention knowing Master Li, he would probably be hunted down by the six major sects in the future.

"Li Shiming, the number one alchemy master in the Northern Shu continent, I didn't expect that you would come to me on your own initiative!" Great Elder Sun Ao calmly glanced at the twelve silver corpses that had been arranged in a formation, and said in a deep voice.

After the twelve silver corpses set up the formation, they could no longer be sensed, but it seemed that this formation was not an attack formation, but an internal interception formation that made it impossible for him to break through easily.

With his confidence, as long as he was given the opportunity to attack with all his strength, he could break the formation with just one or two hits.

So he was not worried about the formation. Instead, he became interested in Li Shiming after hearing Jiang Shu reveal Li Shiming's identity.

During the time he had been in the Northern Shu Continent, what Great Elder Sun Ao had heard most was the legendary story of Li Shiming.

He claims that he never fails and is only able to refine a furnace full of high-level elixirs, each of which can bring out the maximum effect of the elixir to the fullest extent.

He even used his connections to get a hold of a third-grade elixir made by Li Shiming, which astounded him.

Even Patriarch Xin Kai said that if Master Li could be lured to Tianxing Trading Company, it would bring unimaginable huge benefits to Tianxing Trading Company.

And now, Master Li is coming to our door. This is an opportunity to make a great contribution. If we capture Master Li, Tianxing Trading Company will definitely do its best to assist him in advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
