Chapter 1422 Senior, let's run right now!

For the next few months, Su Fan remained in seclusion in his cave, cultivating in quiet meditation.

Since activating his storage ring, which is now filled with a dazzling array of top-grade healing pills, his injuries are improving at a visible rate.

In particular, the meridians and dantian in the body have been largely restored under the continuous nourishment of the elixir. At this rate, it will be fully healed in two or three months at most.

Unfortunately, his spiritual injuries were not progressing as well as expected, and his recovery was neither fast nor slow.

Given this situation, it will likely take three to five years for the condition to fully improve.

This is understandable, as a cultivator's soul is always a difficult problem to solve once it is severely damaged, and a complete cure often requires a long process.

On this day, Su Fan sat cross-legged deep in the cave, diligently cultivating the "Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs Embryo Origin Inner Nourishing Heart Seal Scripture".

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and his spiritual energy fluctuated for a moment.

Noticing that the calming incense on the table had burned out, Su Fan picked up a new incense stick and lit it.

In an instant, the cave was filled with wisps of green smoke, like drifting mist, and a faint fragrance lingered in the room.

He brewed another pot of spiritual tea and poured himself a cup.

Holding the warm teacup between my fingertips, I took a small sip. The mellow tea slid down my throat, instantly making me feel refreshed and inexplicably comfortable throughout my body.

But this blissful moment was fleeting.

The injury to his soul was far more troublesome than he had anticipated. For months, he had been nourished day and night with top-grade elixirs and replenished with rare calming incense and spiritual tea, but the injury had shown little improvement.

After several months of nourishment from various top-grade elixirs, as well as the soothing effects of rare calming incense and spiritual tea, the damage to his soul still did not improve significantly.

Su Fan sighed; he knew this matter couldn't be rushed.

The soul is the most complex and unpredictable thing; it can only be gradually developed through persistent effort.

Just then, there was a knock on the stone door of the cave. It was obvious that Xie Feng had arrived.

Su Fan stood up from the ground, walked over and pushed open the stone door. Sure enough, Xie Feng had arrived.

After a few months, he had become quite familiar with the guy.

He entered the cave and took out two large iron pots from his storage ring. One pot contained steamed spirit rice, and the other contained stewed demon beast meat.

Under Su Fan's tutelage during this period, Xie Feng's cooking skills have indeed improved, and the food he makes is at least edible.

Xie Feng served Su Fan a small bowl of spirit rice and topped it with a layer of demon beast meat.

Finally, I scooped up some broth, mixed it all together, and the taste was reminiscent of a rice bowl dish from my past life.

The two sat cross-legged inside the cave and feasted to their hearts' content.

Xie Feng has a small appetite; he was almost full after eating a large bowl of food and sat down to pick his teeth.

Seeing that Su Fan was about to finish his small bowl of spirit rice, he quickly took it from him and filled another small bowl for Su Fan.

Su Fan took the rice bowl and then glanced at Xie Feng.

"What has your master been busy with lately...?"

Over the past few months, Su Fan has mastered the language of this plane.

The main reason is that Xie Feng is a chatterbox. With him talking to him every day, his accent is now almost indistinguishable from that of a cultivator in this plane.

"He just accepted a mission from the market to explore a sect that has been breached by monstrous beasts..."

Hearing Xie Feng's words, Su Fan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Now, alien beasts from another land are pressing in, occupying vast territories.

These human cultivators, left behind within the territory of the alien beasts, were extremely lacking in cultivation resources and could only secretly collect supplies from all directions.

But now, the sky outside is filled with flying beasts that roam everywhere, and once they discover you, you will be in endless danger.

Therefore, the missions in the market are often very dangerous, but the cultivators gathered in this market have no choice but to take on various exploration missions in order to maintain their cultivation.

After Su Fan finished eating, Xie Feng took the dishes out to wash them.

This kid is very diligent; he's been taking good care of Su Fan for the past few months.

Through conversations with Xie Feng over the past few months, Su Fan has learned a great deal about this dimension.

The plane he is currently in is called "New Guangtian," located in the Azure Star Region of the Kunqiong Realm.

The alien beasts currently invading "New Guangtian" are from a beast plane called "Mountain and Sea Realm".

Su Fan had seen a brief introduction to the "Mountain and Sea Boundary" in an ancient book before.

The "Mountain and Sea Realms" are all realms composed of various strange beasts, ferocious beasts, and wild beasts. Such realms all like to invade other places.

Because the reproductive capacity of alien beasts is extremely astonishing, once the size of each group exceeds its limit, invading other planes becomes an unavoidable choice.

Just like the Netherworld, it is also because of the astonishing reproductive capacity of various demons that it frequently invades other planes, all in order to deplete the number of various demons.

"Xin Guangtian" is rather unlucky; its dimensional coordinates have been exposed, so it has to go through a major calamity every few thousand or tens of thousands of years.

But judging from Xie Feng's tone, he didn't seem too worried.

Because after each great calamity, other planes in the Azure Starfield would send people to support "New Guangtian".

Su Fan originally thought that the human cultivators of "New Guangtian" would be in a passive situation when faced with the invasion of alien beasts from the "Mountain and Sea Realm".

In fact, he was overthinking it. Although the beasts had a strong immunity to magic, the major sects of "New Guangtian" had been invaded by "Mountain and Sea Realm" many times and had long since developed ways to fight back.

That is to use various hard materials to forge arrows and other long-range attack weapons, and then use various magic arrays to activate the arrows to launch them, thereby achieving the means of harming the alien beasts.

It must be said that the methods employed by the various sects of "New Guangtian" are indeed effective.

Therefore, according to Xie Feng, every time the "Mountain and Sea Realm" invaded "New Guangtian", they would ultimately suffer a crushing defeat.

However, each major calamity lasted for quite some time, with the longest, according to legend, lasting for over a hundred years.

More than ten years have passed since the "Mountain and Sea Boundary" invaded "New Guangtian".

The two sides are currently engaged in a fierce battle on the front lines. The battlefield is like a giant meat grinder, with countless human cultivators and alien beasts dying every day.

Su Fan had already participated in several such interdimensional wars, and he had no intention of getting involved again.

Once he gets involved, someone like him with no connections will only become cannon fodder, used as a stepping stone and a scapegoat.

Therefore, Su Fan's current idea is to stay in this cave market and fully recover from his injuries.

Then wait for this interdimensional war to end, and then go out to find a quiet place to cultivate.

Of course, Su Fan still hoped to return to his original realm.

Although the human race controls most of the star field in the realm he is currently in, it is not entirely the domain of the human race's Daoist sects.

Many star systems are controlled by human witches and Buddhist sects, but what shocked him most was that some planes were actually controlled by evil sects.

Anyway, this realm is chaotic enough.

The cave market where Su Fan is now located was established by a heretical old demon in the Integration Realm.

This evil old demon was named "Northern Tomb Demon." He gathered a group of evil cultivators and imposed a tyrannical policy of extortion on the cultivators who came and went in the market.

However, this area has long been occupied by the strange beasts of the "Mountain and Sea Realm". The cultivators trapped in the beast-controlled area can only survive by hiding in this market.

Therefore, even though the market exploited everyone ruthlessly, due to the ferocity of "Old Demon of the Northern Tomb," everyone could only grit their teeth and silently endure it. Su Fan didn't feel anything about this; such was the nature of chaotic times.

Whenever social order collapses, countless self-proclaimed kings will emerge.

As long as "Old Demon of the Northern Tomb" doesn't provoke him, Su Fan is too lazy to be a chivalrous knight-errant. He has no time to bother with these trivial matters.

Su Fan had a good plan, but unexpectedly, trouble came knocking on his door a few days later.

That day, he was cultivating the "Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs Embryo Origin Inner Nourishing Heart Seal Wonderful Scripture" in his cave when someone suddenly knocked on the stone door outside the cave.

"Bang bang... bang bang..." The heavy knocking sound reached Su Fan's ears.

Hearing the heavy knocking on the door, Su Fan frowned. If it were Xie Feng, he would never knock so heavily.

He was already annoyed that his cultivation had been interrupted, and then the door was pounded on so hard that Su Fan's anger flared up instantly.

Su Fan put away the table and tea set next to him, and then cast a "cleaning spell," instantly dispelling the faint fragrance in the room.

He stood up from the ground, walked over, and pushed open the stone door.

There were several people standing outside, all with fierce-looking faces, clearly not good people.

Moreover, they exuded an aura familiar to Su Fan, making their identities self-evident; they were undoubtedly evil cultivators.

Xie Feng was also there, but he was being held hostage. He was probably being used magic, as his eyes were darting around wildly and his body was out of control.

The leader was a cultivator at the Refining Void Realm. He was ugly, burly, and had a murderous aura swirling between his brows, clearly a ruthless and vicious person.

The other party glanced at Su Fan and was clearly taken aback, probably not expecting him to be a cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm.

But he didn't care. After all, the presence of a powerful evil cultivator at the Integration Realm in this market gave them the confidence to commit evil deeds everywhere.

"Fellow Daoist, can I discuss something with you?"

Su Fan, with a stern face, glanced at Xie Feng, who was being held hostage.

He had already guessed the reason for the incident, and seeing how hard the boy had worked, he had rewarded him with some things.

Things like spirit jade pills were fine, but there was a top-grade calming incense stick among them.

Xie Feng must have taken this top-grade calming incense to the market to inquire about its price, and that's when he was targeted.

Su Fan knew that things would definitely not end well today, so he had prepared for the worst.

If these guys don't know what's good for them, then he'll just turn this place upside down.

Let the evil old demons in the Integration Realm have more of their own; it's not like I haven't killed them before.

Thinking of this, Su Fan said in a deep voice, "What is it? Speak..."

Seeing his rather aggressive tone, the other party chuckled coldly, then took out a calming incense stick from his storage ring—the very one he had given to Xie Feng.

"Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you still have any of this spiritual incense left? I'll buy as much as you have, and the price will definitely satisfy you..."

You have no shame whatsoever.

Although he was very annoyed, Su Fan did not show it, after all, he did not want things to escalate.

"That's all, just this one..."

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, the other party's expression immediately changed, and he looked at Su Fan with a sinister gaze.

"Kid, don't push your luck. Let me see your storage ring..."

Hearing their blatant threat—that they even wanted to see his storage ring—Su Fan was amused.

Who the hell gave you the courage?

Seeing Su Fan smile, the evil cultivators outside the door immediately surrounded him.

They adopted a posture that suggested they would openly rob someone at the slightest disagreement.

Among these people were two cultivators at the Refinement Void Realm, and the rest were at the Nascent Soul Realm. So even though Su Fan was at the Refinement Void Realm, they were confident that they could capture him.

Even Xie Feng resigned himself to his fate. Even if this senior was quite strong, he couldn't withstand the siege of so many high-level evil cultivators.

But the next second, Xie Feng witnessed a scene he would never forget.

"Boom..."

The head of the leader, a heretical cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm, was smashed by Su Fan's punch, and blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, covering Xie Feng's body and face.

The other evil cultivators never expected that Su Fan would dare to make a move despite being surrounded by so many people.

In the brief moment they were stunned, Su Fan had a beast claw several feet long in his hand, and then swung it fiercely.

The head of another evil cultivator at the Refinement Realm next to him had already shot into the sky, spraying blood everywhere and staining the surroundings a crimson color.

Only then did the others realize what was happening.

But it was too late. Once Su Fan gained the upper hand, his subsequent attacks would be swift as the wind and aggressive as fire.

"puff……"

Just as a cultivator was about to unleash his magic weapon, he was cleaved in two by that ferocious beast claw. His two bodies were instantly separated, and his internal organs spilled out onto the ground with a crackling sound.

Finally, one of the evil cultivators unleashed a magical artifact, a massive skull that screamed as it lunged at Su Fan.

"Boom..."

But before the enormous skull could fully take shape, it was smashed by Su Fan's punch, turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing without a trace.

Su Fan suddenly turned around and swung the ferocious beast claw in his hand, instantly cutting the two evil cultivators in half at the waist.

These people had just gathered around, and before they could disperse, most of them were killed by the fierce Su Fan.

The two remaining people were stunned and froze on the spot. Without thinking, they turned and ran.

This guy isn't even human, so what's the point of fighting him?

At this point, how could Su Fan possibly let them escape?

He suddenly flung out the beast claw in his hand, instantly piercing through the body of an evil cultivator who was trying to escape.

Su Fan pushed off the ground again, and his figure caught up with the last evil cultivator with lightning speed.

"Boom..."

The other person's head was instantly smashed by his punch, and the headless corpse ran for another ten steps before collapsing to the ground.

Su Fan shook off the blood and brain matter from his fist, then took out a silk handkerchief from his storage ring to wipe his hands.

He looked around and found that there was no one else around.

"Senior... let's run right now..."

At this moment, Xie Feng, who was lying on the ground, roared loudly.

In his view, Su Fan had to escape from this place immediately. If he waited for that evil old demon in the Integration Realm to arrive, he would surely die.

Hearing Xie Feng's shout, Su Fan chuckled.

"Run...why are you running..."
