Chapter 3923: One Cut Injury

On a vast, boundless grassland, six men and one woman were besieging a two-colored Chaos Beast at the True Immortal mid-stage. Li Canghai was among them.

The two-colored Chaos Beast was covered in blood. Its reactions were quick, allowing it to evade multiple attacks.

A golden light flashed, and a giant golden seal descended from the sky, smashing towards the two-colored Chaos Beast.

The two-colored Chaos Beast raised its claw and swatted at the golden seal.

With a muffled thud, the golden seal flew backward.

Li Canghai gently pointed his right index finger at the void, and a black light shot out, instantly reaching the two-colored Chaos Beast and striking its body.

Even low-grade immortal artifacts only left shallow white marks on its body. When the black light struck the two-colored Chaos Beast, its body twitched, and its reactions slowed down.

More than a dozen low-grade immortal artifacts swarmed it, striking the two-colored Chaos Beast one after another, emitting muffled sounds of metal clashing.

The two-colored Chaos Beast tried to flee, but Li Canghai once again pointed his right index finger at the void, and another black light shot out, striking the two-colored Chaos Beast.

The two-colored Chaos Beast's eyes became dull, its reactions grew even slower, and it became like a giant sandbag, allowing them to attack at will.

If Wang Changsheng had been there, he would surely have recognized this as the unique divine ability, Soul Severing Finger, from the Heavenly Soul Grimoire.

Less than half an hour later, the two-colored Chaos Beast's head was severed by a golden flying sword, spilling blood on the spot.

"We finally eliminated it."

A tall young man in a green shirt said with a smile.

"Yunfei, quickly deal with the Chaos Beast's corpse."

Li Canghai instructed.

Li Yunfei acknowledged, and proceeded to handle the two-colored Chaos Beast's corpse with his clansmen.

A graceful young woman in a purple dress frowned slightly, took out a light gold array plate, which emitted a sharp ringing sound.

"Someone is approaching. They triggered the warning array I set up."

The young woman in the purple dress said.

"It's fine. We've already eliminated the two-colored Chaos Beast. Stay alert."

Li Canghai instructed.

He looked towards the distant horizon. A green streak of light was flying from afar, and his divine sense detected four True Immortal cultivators approaching.

Soon after, the green streak of light stopped. As the light receded, a green-glowing flying boat appeared. Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingxiao, Wang Qingling, and Wang Yingjie stood on it. Their faces were pale, their clothes somewhat tattered, with noticeable brown bloodstains.

They had been pursued by Chaos Beasts and had to sacrifice three True Immortal-stage puppet beasts to finally shake off the Chaos Beasts, sustaining minor injuries themselves.

If Wang Changsheng hadn't sent someone with a Seven-Star Soul Severing Pearl, Wang Qingshan and the others would have faced a perilous situation this time.

"The Azure Lotus Wang Family!"

Li Canghai recognized the lotus pattern on the clothes of Wang Qingshan and the other three.

Wang Qingshan's gaze swept over Li Canghai and his group, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

In their current state, they weren't afraid of Li Canghai and his group making trouble.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask where this place is?"

Wang Qingshan asked courteously. He didn't know where they were. Having been chased by Chaos Beasts, they had focused solely on escaping, and returning to Haoyang City would not be easy.

"I am Li Canghai. This is the Azure Ripple Grassland. The nearest 'Yellow' city is hundreds of millions of li away. Fortunately, there are no large Chaos Beast tribes here, only small ones, and we often find lone Chaos Beasts."

As Li Canghai spoke, he took out a green jade slip and tossed it to Wang Qingshan.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li. This is a small token of my appreciation."

Wang Qingshan expressed his thanks, took out a colorless core, and tossed it to Li Canghai. Giving a colorless core for directions was already considered very generous compensation.

Li Canghai did not decline and accepted the core.

Wang Qingshan performed a hand seal, and the green flying boat flew into the distance, disappearing into the horizon in a few flashes. Half a day later, the green flying boat appeared above a low earthen mound. Wang Qingshan performed another hand seal, and the green flying boat slowly descended.

Wang Yingjie conjured a yellow-glowing metal sphere and cast a spell into it. The metal sphere immediately brightened considerably, and with a mechanical whir, transformed into a giant pangolin puppet beast.

He cast another spell, and a several-zhang-wide entrance appeared on the pangolin puppet beast's abdomen. They walked inside, and the entrance closed.

The pangolin's body glowed brightly with yellow light, and it burrowed into the ground.

Wang Qingling took out a spiritual-light-glowing Immortal Transmission Mirror and cast a spell into it. Before long, Wang Mengbin's face appeared on the mirror.

"Mengbin, how are you all doing?"

Wang Qingling asked.

"Yidao got separated from us. There were many Chaos Beasts pursuing us, and he stayed behind with me to cover our retreat. During the fight, he got separated from me. We haven't been able to contact him yet."

Wang Mengbin said with a frown.

"What? Can't contact him?"

Wang Qingling's brows furrowed tightly. This was not good news.

"Where are you all now? Are Haitang and Hongxue alright?"

Wang Qingling pressed.

"They're fine. Ancestor Qingling, how are you all?"

Wang Mengbin asked.

"We're mostly fine. We are currently in the Azure Ripple Grassland. We won't be able to rush back for a while and plan to recuperate for some time before heading back. What about you all?"

Wang Qingling asked.

"We are on our way back to Haoyang City."

Wang Mengbin said.

"That's good. You all must guard Haoyang City. Don't let Meng Yudie exploit any weaknesses. We will continue trying to contact Yidao."

Wang Qingling instructed.

"Understood."

Wang Mengbin replied.

After chatting for a while, Wang Qingling put away the Immortal Transmission Mirror.

With Wang Mengbin, Liu Hongxue, and Ye Haitang guarding Haoyang City, there wouldn't be major issues. What they needed to do now was find Wang Yidao.

Wang Qingxiao took out a white Immortal Transmission Mirror and cast a spell into it. More than half an hour later, the mirror still showed no response.

"Let's heal our injuries first. Try to contact Yidao again after some time. I hope we can reach him."

Wang Qingshan said.

Wang Yingjie and the other two nodded in agreement.

Wang Yingjie was responsible for keeping watch. Wang Qingling and the other two took medicinal pills and cultivated to refine the medicinal power to heal their injuries.

Three days later, Wang Qingshan took out the green jade slip, immersed his divine sense into it, and examined the map.

According to the map, if they wanted to return to Haoyang City, they could head straight east. This path would require them to pass through some territories occupied by Chaos Beasts, which they could bypass, but that would take more time.

Wang Qingxiao took out a white Immortal Transmission Mirror and cast a spell into it. The mirror surface blurred, and Wang Yidao's face became visible.

Wang Yidao's face was pale, and his expression was listless, clearly indicating he was severely injured.

"How are you? Yidao, are you alright?"

Wang Qingxiao asked with concern.

"Not dead, but I lost an arm."

Wang Yidao said, his voice weak.

"Didn't I tell you to take a set of Chaos Armor? How could this still happen?"

Wang Qingxiao said with a frown.

"There were too many Chaos Beasts. Without the Chaos Armor, I would have died."

Wang Yidao said.

"Where are you now? We'll come pick you up."

Wang Qingxiao said. Wang Yidao's condition was too critical; they had to find him.

"An underground cave in White Horse Mountain Range."

Wang Yidao replied.

"The White Horse Mountain Range is quite far from here. We'll head over immediately. Don't wander off; stay put."

Wang Qingshan instructed.

"Alright."

Wang Yidao agreed.

Wang Qingxiao gave a few more instructions, then put away the Immortal Transmission Mirror.

"Let's go. We'll meet up with Yidao first."

Wang Qingshan instructed.

Wang Yingjie performed a hand seal, and the pangolin puppet beast glowed with dazzling yellow light, quickly moving forward, disappearing underground.
