Chapter 114 Reencounter with Yan Ci
She held a blood-red talisman between her fingers, which burned in her hand. Then, her whole body was enveloped in red light, and her speed increased dramatically, allowing her to catch up with Han Wei.
The talisman the woman was using was likely some kind of talisman that could temporarily increase speed. After catching up with Han Wei, she intended to use the same trick again, hoping to force Han Wei to feed the ghost sand sparrow and buy herself more time. Suddenly, she lashed out with a whip, striking Han Wei fiercely.
Unfortunately, she missed Han Wei; instead, Han Wei grabbed her whip. As soon as Han Wei grabbed the whip, arcs of cyan, blue, purple, and silver-white electricity surged towards it, instantly traveling along the whip and reaching the yellow-clad woman's entire body.
The woman in yellow screamed, her body went numb for a moment, and she was swept up by the storm.
She watched helplessly as Han Wei suddenly accelerated again, transforming into a bolt of lightning and disappearing, while a shadow loomed over her head as the ghostly sand sparrow's claws reached out to grab her.
"don't want--"
A cloud of blood mist rose from the sandstorm.
Han Wei didn't bother to look at the fate of the woman in yellow; she was now focused on speeding away in her thunder chariot. The ghostly sand sparrow, perhaps still hungry, relentlessly pursued Han Wei. As she fled, Han Wei cursed the ghostly sand sparrow's ancestors in her mind.
I didn't do anything to you, why are you trying to arrest me?
But can you reason with something like a spirit beast?
Even after running for hundreds of thousands of miles, Han Wei couldn't shake off the Ghost Sand Sparrow. Although the Thunder Chariot, the Thunder King Armor, the Wind Dragon Ring, and the numerous speed-enhancing rare flowers and herbs in the Wood Spirit Cave all boosted Han Wei's speed to the late-stage Mahayana level.
But she just happened to encounter this late-stage Mahayana-level Yuan Beast, which was skilled in speed.
If it were anyone else, even someone at the Mahayana stage, they would have been captured by that ghostly sand sparrow. Only she was able to run for so long.
However, Han Wei secretly groaned. Although the Breathing Stone could conceal one's aura, it couldn't conceal one's physical form; once seen, one couldn't hide anymore.
Han Wei was constantly locked onto by divine sense, and simply hiding her aura was useless.
Illusion magic was used, but its effectiveness was diminished by the sandstorm domain of the Ghost Sand Sparrow. Synchronizing with the vegetation was also useless; although the Ghost Sand Sparrow's intelligence wasn't comparable to humans, it wasn't stupid either. Even with Han Wei's aura altered, it wouldn't mistake Han Wei for a mere flower or blade of grass.
Moreover, this creature is fierce and violent, stirring up sandstorms wherever it goes, even uprooting grass.
Han Wei couldn't fight back or escape, and was chased by this damned beast for seven whole days before finally fleeing into a forest, where the beast finally gave up.
Han Wei stood on a huge tree and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the ghostly sand sparrow had left.
Han Wei gazed at the boundless forest and flew deeper into it. She felt safer in this dense vegetation. As she flew, she wondered if that guy had simply run out of energy from chasing her, or if it was for some other reason that he had left.
Could there be something even more terrifying lurking in this forest?
The thought sent a chill down Han Wei's spine. Her divine sense hadn't detected any danger here. Although there were many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, she hadn't yet found any that were beyond the Nascent Soul stage.
It can't be that unlucky, right?
Despite thinking this way, for safety's sake, Han Wei quickly left to seek opportunities elsewhere.
————
Several days later.
Han Wei sat on a rock, with a map floating in front of her.
This map is of the Xuan Tian Secret Realm. Obtaining the Xuan Tian Token is already difficult enough, but getting the map of the Xuan Tian Secret Realm is even more difficult. The map in Han Wei's hand was not obtained by herself; she got it from the storage bracelet of the old man with the pointed ears after killing him.
This person does not have a complete map.
This person's map also shows several areas. This is quite normal, after all, the Xuan Tian Secret Realm is not like the Red Deer Mountain Secret Realm in the Yunlan Realm, which is just a created space. This secret realm is much larger than the Yunlan Realm. I'm afraid that someone with a complete map simply doesn't exist.
Han Wei thought to herself.
According to the map, she was currently in the southeast of the secret realm, in a place called Black Wind Valley. She pointed at the map, and not only did the phantom of the mountains appear, but it was also magnified. Then, the phantom of ruins appeared in front of Black Wind Valley.
There are ruins, and perhaps there are some unexpected opportunities within them.
Go check it out!
Han Wei put away the map and flew towards the ruins in front of Black Wind Valley. The ruins were millions of miles away, and it took her two days to fly, avoiding several groups of cultivators. On the second day, as she passed a mountain range, she saw a familiar face.
Rumble—
The mountain collapsed, revealing a young man in white robes at the Nascent Soul stage fighting two cultivators of the same level.
The young man had long, jet-black hair tied in a ponytail, wore gold earrings, and had skin as white as jade. He was exceptionally handsome. In his hand, he held a golden spear. With a sweep of the spear, large swaths of golden flames ignited, transforming into a golden storm that distorted the void and swallowed everything around it.
The two cultivators who fought him, one a sinister-looking young man and the other a pretty woman, were both severely injured by his attack.
Seeing that they were no match for the enemy, the two used a combined escape technique, transforming into two streaks of light that merged back into one, increasing their speed dramatically in an attempt to escape.
The boy's golden eyes were cold and sharp, and he reached out his left hand towards the sky.
Behind the youth appeared a golden Dharma image hundreds of feet tall. The solemn Dharma image emitted countless golden rays, illuminating the entire world in gold. Then, it seemed as if golden flames were burning in the sky and on the earth. The Dharma image stretched out a giant hand and slapped towards the merged escape light.
Bang!
A deafening roar!
The two men were slammed to the ground with a single palm strike.
As if an earthquake had struck, an enormous handprint was imprinted on the ground. Beside this handprint, exaggerated cracks spread outwards in all directions.
The two were smashed into a pulp, and their souls were shattered.
The enormous Dharma image in the sky disappeared.
The young man in white, gripping his spear, looked towards Han Wei.
This young man was none other than Yan Ci, whom Han Wei had known since the Star Luo Realm.
When the envoy from the Yunhuang Realm came to the Xingluo Realm to select geniuses, Yan Ci and Han Wei were both chosen and taken to the Yunhuang Realm to join the Wangshan Sect. Han Wei left shortly after becoming a disciple of the Wangshan Sect, and she never saw Yan Ci again.
Han Wei was a little surprised to see Yan Ci here.
Seeing that the other party had already discovered her, Han Wei simply flew towards Yan Ci in a bold and uninhibited manner.
In the sky, a boy in white and a girl in colorful clothes stood a few steps apart, treading on air.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, it's been a long time!" Han Wei said.
Yan Ci looked her up and down a few times, and said, "It's you. You've come to the Xuan Tian Secret Realm too." He gave Han Wei a smile.
