Thanks to extensive publicity within Ziyang City, coupled with reports of monsters attacking the city, this year's Ziyang Talisman Meeting became widely known throughout the Ronan immortal cultivation world. However, due to the monsters, a large number of cultivators who had originally planned to attend decided against it. However, the gathering of surrounding immortal cultivation families and markets made Ziyang City, like previous years, incredibly popular.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang isn't here?"
Pang Tianyu from Ziyun Market also came to Ziyang City. The Ziyun Market where he was located was also Ziyang's sphere of influence. The first thing he did when he entered the city was to look for his former savior, Jiang Yun. Unfortunately, Jiang Yun was now in Yunluo Mountains.
"Brother Jiang, if we go any further, we might reach the Biyun territory."
Hu Ming looked at a deep canyon in front of him. This was the recognized boundary between Biyun and Ziyang. If he continued west from here, he would reach the territory of Biyun.
"Continue to the southwest!"
Jiang Yun looked at the deep valley in front of him. Most cultivators would not risk entering it. They would try to find a way to go around to the plains and then enter. In addition to this, they could also venture deep into the Yunluo Mountains, but such dangers were not something that ordinary cultivators could bear.
After Jiang Yun finished speaking, he and Hu Ming began to walk south along the canyon. This place was already the border of Zi Yang's sphere of influence, and there was no trace of the monsters here.
"Huh! Finally out!" Hu Ming looked at the dense forest behind him. Coming out of here means they are truly out of the Yunluo Mountains and entering the plains.
Looking at the endless mountain plains in front of him, Jiang Yun paused for a moment and turned to look at Hu Ming.
"What's wrong?" Hu Ming asked puzzledly.
"I'm going back to Ziyang, what about you, Brother Hu?"
"I..." Hu Ming was about to say that he would go back, but when he thought of the terrifying monster, he hesitated again.
"I'll go back too!" Hu Ming pondered for a moment and decided to go back. There was still a good chance that Ziyang could hold on. If he left now, it would be difficult to return later.
"Okay," Jiang Yun said, seeing that the other party was willing to go back, his real purpose of rescue was achieved. Without further delay, the two of them flew rapidly towards the southeast.
At this moment, at the junction of Ziyang's territory and Biyun Sect, two monks were fleeing at full speed. They were covered in dust, and the older one was pale, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that they were actually running for their lives.
"There are monks ahead! Speed up!"
The older cultivator was at the Foundation Establishment stage. He quickened his pace and pulled up the younger cultivator. The younger cultivator's face was filled with regret and resentment.
"Master, leave me alone and go!"
"Shut up! Get out of here!"
These two people were actually a master and apprentice who were fleeing for their lives. With the help of the master, the apprentice finally used up all his magic power and rushed towards the east.
At this time, Jiang Yun and Hu Ming were heading southeast from the Yunluo Mountains in the north.
"etc!"
Jiang Yun, who was speeding, called out to Hu Ming who was beside him.
"What's wrong?"
Hu Ming stopped and looked at Jiang Yun in confusion. Could there be another monster? Just as he was wondering, Jiang Yun turned to the west with a serious expression.
"There are monks! Looks like they're coming towards us!"
To the west lay the territory of the Biyun Sect, and Jiang Yun suddenly became wary. He still vividly remembered the scene a few years ago when the Qin family and other cultivators from the Biyun Sect came to Ziyang City to hunt him down.
Hu Ming didn't say anything, but there was a purple talisman in his hand.
"Help! There's something important happening in the world of immortal cultivation!"
The people who came were the master and disciple who had just escaped. They were both very fast, with the master pulling the disciple. It seemed that there were pursuers behind them.
“Damn it!”
Hu Ming cursed angrily. The world of immortal cultivation was most averse to such diversions. Jiang Yun's expression turned grim, and a white-bladed sword appeared in his hand.
"I hope that by killing these two people, the matter can be settled."
Jiang Yun and Hu Ming both had this thought in their minds, but they were most afraid that the person chasing them would kill them to silence them.
"Don't do it! I'm a monk from the Lingbao Hall of the Biyun Sect!"
The two were getting closer and closer, Jiang Yun's spiritual sense swept towards the other party, ready to take action at any time, but then, his expression became extremely wonderful.
"Why them?"
Jiang Yun glanced at Hu Ming and said:
"Wait a minute, I know these two people!"
The two people who escaped were Yoda and Xiang An, a master and apprentice from the Lingbao Hall of the Biyun Sect. Jiang Yun had also bought a batch of top-grade magic weapons for use in the Qi Refining Stage from them.
"I need to go to Ziyang City urgently! Thank you very much!"
Yoda was getting closer and closer to Jiang Yun and the others. Seeing that the two monks were slowly letting down their guard, he hurriedly spoke loudly.
It was not until they came in front of Jiang Yun that Xiang An, who was behind Yoda, realized that this monk was actually a friend he once knew.
"Jiang Yun?! Great, it's Jiang Yun!"
"What's going on? Why are you being hunted?"
Jiang Yun looked at the excited Xiang An and asked in confusion. He didn't expect that the two would meet again here. The last time he was in the sect, he directly boarded the spirit boat to the East China Sea without visiting other friends.
"Jiang Yun?" Yoda also remembered this name. Without caring about anything else, he hurriedly said in a panic:
"We'll talk about it later. There are pursuers behind us, let's go!"
Jiang Yun stared at the open space behind them, and said with a heavy face:
"I'm afraid it's too late. Putting aside other things, why are we being hunted by the Biyun Sect?"
Jiang Yun didn't want to be involved in this, but Xiang An was his friend, so he asked this question.
"The Biyun Sect has joined the evil sect!"
Xiang An’s words stunned Jiang Yun and Hu Ming.
"Defection to the devil?!"
The two exchanged glances, instantly realizing that things were serious. Suddenly, a violent sandstorm blew up from behind, rapidly chasing them.
"Jiang...Fellow Daoist Jiang, the person coming is Sun Ran from the Sun family, who has reached the perfect stage of foundation building. Be careful!"
Yoda turned around, looked at the figure with dust all over the sky behind him, and said with a heavy face that his injuries were caused by the local area.
"Haha, you've implicated two innocent monks again."
The voice arrived before the person arrived. Sun Ran's cold voice clearly reached the ears of Jiang Yun and the other three.
"Stand back!" Jiang Yun took the lead and stood in front of Youda and Xiang An. He raised the sword in his hand slightly, ready to strike at any time.
"Foundation Building?" Sun Ran froze, and the dust he'd kicked up slowly settled, revealing his sharp, square, and cold face. In the world of immortal cultivation, most cultivators have long hair, but this Sun Ran from the Sun family had short hair. Combined with his square face, Jiang Yun suddenly felt like he was looking at a human from a previous life.
"Just get out of the way and I'll give you a way out, how about that?"
Sun Ran stood in front of Jiang Yun and Hu Ming, and only then did he realize that the two cultivators Yoda casually met were actually at the Foundation Establishment stage. He frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Yun coldly and said.
