The octagonal cauldron was indeed very powerful, but Ye Mo still felt a sliver of pressure. This swamp was very strange, that powerful suction force seemed to be everywhere. He had to defend against the suction force while fighting the python. Who knew what would happen if he got sucked in?
*Thud thud thud*
The dark water arrows clashed with the octagonal cauldron again. At the same time, Ye Mo used Illusion Cloud formation kill strike without hesitation. He didnât want to drag the fight out, he had a bad feeling.
Ye Mo wanted to trap the python and then kill it.
The python noticed that Ye Mo wasnât easy to deal with and turned to run after the second wave of water arrows failed. It couldnât even mind the purple sword rays and let the Zi Xu cut a 10 centimeter deep wound.
Ye Mo didnât chase it, this python ran away too fast. If it was slower and the Illusion Cloud formation kill strike fully formed, it wouldnât be able to get away.
Plus it wasnât easy for him to kill a level six peak stage python in this swamp.
Ye Mo stopped, after that fight the aroma of the herb had completely disappeared. He didnât know where it came from at all.
There was a boundless swamp ahead and there was only the putrid smell of the swamp as well as that ever increasing suction force.
...
âWei Cong, are you sure that person is Ye Mo?â a hollow spirit state peak stage asked a golden core state middle stage not far away from the Mang Mountain Town.
The golden core state middle stage cultivator immediately replied, âI donât dare to lie, wan bei was sure that the big beard who went in the town is Ye Mo. Iâve seen that Ye Mo once, although he wore a stealth mask Iâm sure thatâs him.â
âThen where did he go?â that hollow spirit state cultivator nodded with a calmer tone. He was very happy with the golden core stateâs answer.
âHe discussed with a few foundation establishment state cultivators in the spirit rest tower for a long time before leaving town. They headed to the Zhou River Swamp.â
âMhm, very well, you may leave.â Then the hollow spirit state peak stage cultivator waved his hand and a fire engulfed Wei Cong.
âArghh...â Wei Cong didnât get the lush reward he was expecting. He watched Ye Mo and now this was the recompense he got.
Then, another hollow spirit state middle stage cultivator asked strangely, âMartial brother Jin, how do you know Wei Cong can guess which direction Ye Mo went?â
That hollow spirit state peak stage elder sneered, âThat Ye Mo is cunning like a ghost, itâs impossible to block him at the door of the Pill City. With his status, irrelevant people arenât allowed to stay near him. Luckily before he took Xin Zhida as his disciple, he offended a few cultivators and that Wei Cong was one of them.
I only managed to find Wei Cong, the other few cultivators living in the yard were gone. When I found him, he only told me that he might know where Ye Mo will be but he didnât say that Ye Mo would come to Great Zhou Mountain for sure. However, he probably knows something and so he waited at the Great Zhou Mountain. I didnât expect him to actually succeed.â
The hollow spirit state middle stage elder was shocked. âEven that works?â
Martial brother Jin nodded. âWei Cong probably guessed that Ye Mo would come to Great Zhou Mountain but wasnât sure. I gave him 100k top grade spirit stones and said if he found where Ye Mo is I would give him another Cao Huan pill. Thatâs why he stayed here and reported to me as soon as he found Ye Mo.â
Then, the hollow spirit state elder said bleakly, âNo matter what he is doing here, I will suck out his soul and burn it! How dare he kill my disciple Chai Kong. If I, Jin Qibei, donât kill him, I have no face to stay in Earth Demon Sect.â
The hollow spirit state middle stage cultivator nodded. âIf he stays in the Pill City forever, thereâs nothing we can do, but since he came out, itâs his fault. Letâs go now, martial brother Jin.â
Martial brother Jin nodded. âHe has two rare flames, if he falls in the hands of the Lightning Cloud Sect, there wouldnât be anything left for us. Letâs go!â
The two dashed out, and in less than two hours, they were near the Zhou River Swamp.
...
At this moment, Li Jilei frowned. âBrother Lu, brother Duan I think that Ning guy is dead. Itâs been 6 hours, I think we should go back first and find someone else.â
Duan Yitai sighed. âThatâs all we can do, I really wonder how that guy lived till today. Heâs an idiot, heâs probably never seen something good and his brain heated up as soon as he smelled the herb aroma.â
âIs that Ning dude a big bearded man?â a sudden voice appeared by Duan Yitaiâs ear.
The three turned back immediately and saw two people suddenly appear behind them. They couldnât tell their power level.
Even an idiot would know that these two were far powerful than them.
Duan Yitai immediately bowed. âThat Ning Xiaoma is indeed a big beard. Weâve arranged to go look for spirit herbs here, but he charged into the swamp without saying anything. Weâve been waiting for him here but he still hasnât come out.â
âWhich direction did he head to?â that cultivator asked again.
Even Duan Yitai began to worry as this cultivator was expressionless. It was as though they were dead to him. Duan Yitai could only point respectfully to east. âHe went that way.â
Then, the cultivator shot out three fireballs and burned the three to dust before they could even react. They were even more certain that the big beard was Ye Mo, his wifeâs last name was also Ning.
...
Ye Mo was very confused right now. He had gone almost 1000km into the swamp â theoretically, there shouldnât be such an absurd spirit herb that could pass its aroma this far. Was it really an immortal herb?
Should he stay here and search or wait till tomorrow when the aroma comes again?
If he stayed here, who knew what would happen. There was the powerful suction force and the putrid stench. Or he could go into the Golden Page World and wait there.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even though there were no cultivators here, Ye Mo didnât want to go into the Golden Page World so easily. That was his final card, if people knew about his Golden Page World, there wouldnât be a single place for him to stay. He wasnât Chu Jiuyu, he wasnât that powerful. He would only use the Golden Page World at the final moment.
Suddenly, two powerful spirit senses scanned over.
âHollow spirit state cultivator?â Ye Mo was shocked, sweating. He immediately released Zi Xu and burned some essence blood as he dashed into the depths of the swamp.
It clearly wasnât good that hollow spirit state cultivators came here. Regardless if they came for him, he didnât want to see them.
After 200 more km, Ye Mo felt it was hard to go forward. The suction force made him unable to go faster.
He felt that he had briefly escaped from the spirit sense behind. Without hesitation, Ye Mo went into the Golden Page World and sunk it into the swamp.
He knew that if he kept running, he would be locked on by the hollow spirit state cultivator spirit sense again. He burned essence blood to escape outside their spirit sense range before. If he got locked onto again, he wouldnât be able to escape so easily again.
âFound him, heâs clearly not a foundation establishment state to be able to come in here. Itâs Ye Mo for sure. Wei Cong isnât that stupid after all,â martial brother Jin sneered.
The other hollow spirit state cultivator nodded. Just when they wanted to accelerate to Ye Mo they found that Ye Mo instantly accelerated and was nowhere to be found.
âHmm...â the hollow spirit state middle stage was a little surprised at Ye Moâs speed.
The hollow spirit state peak stage cultivator said calmly, âNo need to be shocked, he just burned essence blood. He ran out of our spirit sense range temporarily, but itâs no use. Doing this in the Zhou River Swamp is suicide. If we go faster, we can find him in a few minutes.â
...
15 minutes passed and the two stopped. That hollow spirit state peak stageâs face was very bad, he didnât expect Ye Mo to really get away.
âHe got away? Does he have some escape secret technique or high level rune?â the other hollow spirit state cultivatorâs face was also really bad.
Martial brother Jin shook his head. âIf he did, he wouldnât burn essence blood, he probably has a really advanced way of hiding. Itâs just like how he came out from the Pill City. When everyone thought he was in solitary cultivation, he actually came here.â
