Once the sword prison explodes, its power is enough to instantly kill a cultivator in the early stage of the Condensation Realm.
Although Gu Yifeng was unsure whether this move could kill the old man, he believed that as long as it caused a big enough commotion, the old man would be badly injured, if not killed.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. He raised his cultivation level and with a sword finger, dug a pit under his feet. The originally hard ground became brittle and untouchable after the alternation of ice and fire power. With the slightest force, it turned into powder.
Furthermore, since the sword formation of this sword prison has been completely controlled by Gu Yifeng, the sword prison's reinforcement of the surrounding land has naturally disappeared.
The design of this enormous sword prison within the Three Pure Ones Alliance is almost flawless; its only flaw lies here: it cannot stop those who understand the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
Once you break free from the suppression of the sword energy and possess some spiritual power, you can easily escape from the prison.
Based on the sense of direction he had gained from communicating with the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Gu Yifeng roughly determined the direction and dug down ten meters before heading east.
For three whole days, his cultivation at the Concentration Realm made digging the tunnel much easier. He only needed to use the purple spiritual power formed by the fusion of ice and fire within his body to penetrate the soil, and then use sword energy to dig several meters in an instant.
On the morning of the third day, on the outskirts of a city in Xuandao Prefecture, a dark head suddenly emerged from the ground. It was Gu Yifeng, and after three days, he had finally dug it out.
He took out the scroll, channeled his spiritual power into the sunlight, and within three breaths, a red dot appeared on the map, which was his current location.
It must be said that the system's products are indeed of high quality. As long as this map can see the light of day and be activated with spiritual power, one can locate one's own position by relying on the array contained within it.
With this map, Gu Yifeng doesn't need to worry about getting lost, unless he gets caught in a fog formation. It may seem like he can see the light of day, but in reality, he's being blinded by the formation and loses his bearings. Even with a divine artifact, he won't be able to locate himself.
His current location is thousands of miles away from the headquarters of the Three Pure Ones Alliance, which is only a day's journey for a cultivator at the Concentration Realm, so it is not considered safe.
Fortunately, I received a sword technique as a reward when I checked in yesterday. It is called the Meteor Sword Technique, which is a sword control technique. When mastered, it can turn sword light into meteorites, causing great destruction.
Gu Yifeng pondered for a moment, then took out the Longquan Sword. With a thought, the Longquan Sword landed at his feet. He stepped on it lightly, unleashed his spiritual power, and the sword light blew like the wind, carrying him into the sky and away from the original spot.
Three days after he escaped, a violent tremor suddenly erupted at the headquarters of the Sanqing Alliance. The old man in hemp clothing who had captured him was now seriously injured and unconscious. He was only able to regain consciousness after the Sanqing Alliance's higher-ups protected his heart meridian with spiritual power and nourished him for a while.
"Elder Kong, what exactly happened?!"
An old man dressed in a seven-star robe asked the old man in hemp clothing urgently.
"The barbarians from the lower realm have escaped! My grandson was killed, and now he has escaped from beneath the sword prison. He left a trap, using the power of the sword formation to injure me, and has headed east. This is the Soul Hunting Shadow Technique; it can catch the little thief!"
Elder Kong reacted quickly. Despite being seriously injured, he did not hide it. He briefly explained what had happened, handed over a compass, and then fell into a coma.
Seeing this, the old man could only hand Elder Kong over to the people in the alliance for treatment. He took the compass, channeled his spiritual power into it, and soon a point of light appeared in the east.
Without the slightest hesitation, the old man in the Seven Stars Robe rode the wind and traveled away. Not far away, a crane came to the old man's feet on its own initiative, then flapped its wings and flew hundreds of meters away in an instant, heading straight to the east.
...
Gu Yifeng, who was traveling eastward, was flying on his sword. After several days of practice, he had become more and more proficient in the Meteor Sword Technique. Now, his flying speed was no slower than that of a cultivator at the peak of the Concentration Realm.
But just now, a phantom of a sword array suddenly exploded in his dantian, meaning that the trap inside the sword prison had been activated by the old man in hemp clothing.
"Hopefully, this will delay them for a few days, preventing them from catching up with me. There are still three days until I reach the East Sea. Once I arrive and borrow a boat to sail out to sea, the people from the Three Pure Ones Alliance will be unable to catch me."
Gu Yifeng muttered to himself, glanced at the map again, and then unleashed spiritual energy beneath his feet, increasing his speed even further.
In order to speed up his journey to the East Sea, he did not use spirit stones to cultivate, but instead directly swallowed Refining God Pills. Given the preciousness of the Refining God Pills, one pill was equivalent to three times his spiritual power.
A bottle contains ten pills, which is more than enough for three days.
Because I was traveling for three days, I was also less diligent in checking in with the system, and the rewards I received were all pills. In three days, I received two bottles of Spirit Refining Pills and one bottle of Spirit Cleansing Pills.
Needless to say, the Refining Spirit Pill is excellent, while the Cleansing Spirit Pill is a precious pill that nourishes the spiritual sea and replenishes the soul. One pill can make one feel refreshed and help the soul break through.
It wasn't until noon on the fourth day that Gu Yifeng put away his Longquan sword, landed, and entered a large city. This was Qingzhou territory. He had passed through several teleportation arrays along the way, which allowed him to arrive within three days.
Unlike other cities, Qingzhou Donghai Prefecture's coastal city only has a city gate on the inland side, while the back is directly facing the sea, and there is no city guard.
In addition, many vendors were selling their wares on the beach near the sea, creating a lively scene.
This is the coast of the East China Sea.
As Gu Yifeng entered the city and was looking around, he felt a tug at his trouser leg. Looking down, he saw a thin child staring at him expectantly.
"Kid, is something wrong?"
Gu Yifeng frowned and asked, immediately becoming wary. It was the same in his previous life; these children seemed harmless, but they were taught by evil people and often did bad things.
"Sir, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? I can be your guide!"
Seeing that Gu Yifeng did not drive him away, a light flashed in the child's eyes, and he said in a clear voice.
"Guide, what do you want? Spirit stones as payment?"
Gu Yifeng quickly realized what was going on and asked in return.
“That’s great! I can do a lot for you, sir! It only costs twenty low-grade spirit stones a day!”
Upon hearing Gu Yifeng's question, the dark-skinned boy immediately forced out a number, "2."
"Ten spirit stones, take me to buy a boat, I need to set sail immediately."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yifeng immediately began to haggle. He was pressed for time and had no interest in spending the whole day wandering around the seaside city.
"Deal! Please come with me, sir!"
The child nodded emphatically upon hearing this, and then quickly ran into the crowd. Gu Yifeng had no choice but to hurry after him, keeping his eyes fixed on the child's figure so that he wouldn't be lost.
Although this move was abrupt, it was very effective. Gu Yifeng then realized that he had perfectly blended into the crowd and shaken off the few pairs of eyes and little tails that had followed him when he first entered the city.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes immediately.
