I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 693 Chase
"It's alright. I know the key points of this mountain's formation like the back of my hand. Even if we fly away from this designated area with the fire ring, it won't trigger any alarms!" Xia Daoming said with a relaxed expression.

"You know the key points of this mountain formation like the back of your hand?" Xiao Hongyi asked in astonishment.

He was unaware that Xia Daoming had a Fire Phoenix Tree planted inside his body. Over the past year, it had not only absorbed almost all the life force of the flames from the ancient tree that guarded the Flame Sparrow Clan, but also, through that ancient tree, had become intimately familiar with the array formations and restrictions of Mount Lieyao.

Xiao Hongyi was unaware that the huge commotion over the mountain valley was also caused by Xia Daoming.

What he didn't know was that the array and restrictions of Mount Lieyao were now completely ineffective against Xia Daoming.

"Hehe, isn't that amazing? You can rest assured, Uncle-Master!" Xia Daoming said with a hint of pride.

He had a deep friendship with Xiao Hongyi, and in front of him, he showed his true nature without any pretense.

As they spoke, he released the Yangyi Sword, which unleashed a fiery sword light that swept the two of them away from the designated area. As expected, the fire ring barrier did not trigger any warning.

"You're still as reliable as ever!" Xiao Hongyi gave Xia Daoming a thumbs up.

"That's right!" Xia Daoming said frankly, without any modesty.

Since the fire ring restriction did not trigger an alarm, and the flames released by Xia Daoming were deliberately imbued with the aura of the Southern Ming Fire, no one stopped them to question them along the way.

Soon, the two arrived at the invisible barrier that enveloped the nine main peaks.

Xia Daoming pointed forward, and a ripple appeared in the void.

The flames passed through the ripples without any obstruction.

However, as the flames passed through the ripples, Xia Daoming glanced back at the direction of Li Guangfeng, a meaningful sneer appearing on his lips.

Just then, the expression on the face of Protector Shuoting, who was stationed at the mountain pass, suddenly changed slightly.

With a flick of his wrist, a fire talisman appeared in his hand.

The fire talisman was engraved with a series of fire ring patterns.

At this moment, two fire rings were jumping, and flames were pointing towards the invisible barrier.

"Hmph, daring to escape in the chaos, they're practically courting death!" Protector Shuoting's gaze turned icy, and a murderous aura erupted from his body.

Without notifying anyone else, he conjured a streak of fire and soared into the direction indicated by the fire talisman.

The Flame Sparrow Clan has no shortage of Twelve True Immortals, but very few are qualified to serve as protectors; each one is an outstanding member of the Twelve True Immortals.

Shuoting's ability to assume the position of protector of the Flame Sparrow Clan of Lieyao Mountain demonstrates a strength far beyond that of ordinary Twelve True Immortals.

Xia Daoming, needless to say, was merely a Ninth-Rank True Immortal, whom Shuo Ting could easily kill with a mere gesture.

While Xiao Hongyi's flames were somewhat extraordinary, he was ultimately a realm lower than him and was also a rogue immortal. He certainly didn't have the profound and powerful immortal techniques and treasures that Shuo Ting possessed, which were inherited from a Golden Immortal faction. Shuo Ting was confident that he could easily kill him and didn't need to alarm anyone else.

Once outside the invisible barrier, Xia Daoming turned back to look in the direction of Li Guang Peak, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"As expected, skill breeds daring!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Hongyi's heart skipped a beat when he saw Xia Daoming turn around and look into the distance with a subtle expression.

"It's nothing!" Xia Daoming smiled faintly.

After saying that, it continued flying forward, but at a much slower speed.

"Wait a minute, why are you flying so slowly? Don't tell me your immortal power is failing!" Xiao Hongyi was no ordinary person, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Uncle-Master is indeed wise; nothing can be hidden from you! I'm waiting for someone," Xia Daoming said with a smile. "Shuoting!" Xiao Hongyi's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out.

"Uncle-Master is amazing, he hit the nail on the head!" Xia Daoming gave Xiao Hongyi a thumbs up.

"What a load of crap! You're the real hero, you actually dared to bring Shuoting here!" Xiao Hongyi couldn't help but curse when he saw that it was true.

But then Xiao Hongyi seemed to remember something, and his expression changed slightly as he said, "Wait a minute, didn't you say that the fire ring wouldn't give any warning? How could Shuo Ting have noticed? And aren't you afraid of alerting a Golden Immortal?"

“The fire ring won’t trigger any warnings unless it touches the array restrictions of Mount Lieyao. But Shuoting must have some other objects that can sense the ring, so I deliberately touched it just now. As for the Golden Immortals, they don’t have time to worry about anything else right now. Besides, why would a Golden Immortal lower himself to chase after us two nobody?” Xia Daoming replied.

Xiao Hongyi's lips moved upon hearing this, as if he wanted to ask more questions, such as how Xia Daoming knew that Jin Xian was too busy to attend to anything else, but in the end he kept his mouth shut.

He was a smart man and knew that Xia Daoming must have secretly used some other tricks.

As for the methods used, since Xia Daoming didn't say, it was best for him not to inquire.

"How could they escape from the Lieyao Mountain barrier? That's right, there must be something wrong with the ancient tree, causing the mountain gate's array restrictions to malfunction!" Shuoting quickly followed the fire talisman's guidance and flew to the invisible barrier restriction. He looked out at the outer mountain forest, initially showing a hint of doubt, but quickly came to a conclusion and resolutely chased after it.

Shuoting flew very fast.

In a short while, he saw a ball of fiery sword light enveloping two figures flying through the air.

Shuo Ting suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, he flew down in front of the two of them. Then he pointed at the top of their heads, and a beam of flame flew out, transforming into a fire bird that hovered above them.

Sharp, fiery claws and sky-covering, fiery wings completely enveloped the two of them.

The two were as small as ants beneath the firebird, utterly insignificant.

"How dare you! You dare to leave Liguang Peak without permission! Come back to the mountain with me to receive your punishment!" Shuoting stood with his hands behind his back and shouted coldly.

Xiao Hongyi did not speak, but simply turned his gaze to Xia Daoming.

"You're still not as bold as the Guardian, who dared to chase after us all by himself!" Xia Daoming said with a mocking expression.

As they spoke, a thought flashed through his mind, and the flames that enveloped the two of them transformed into a flying sword that hovered in front of him.

Seeing that it was Xia Daoming who spoke, instead of Xiao Hongyi, Shuo Ting was slightly taken aback, but did not delve into it. Instead, he was so angry at Xia Daoming's words that he laughed.

"Haha, you mere eleventh-level True Immortal and ninth-level True Immortal, I, the Dharma Protector, have already shown you great respect by personally coming to hunt you down. Why would I need to bring any more helpers?"

"Didn't the Dharma Protector ever consider how we, mere eleventh-level and ninth-level True Immortals, could leave Lieyao Mountain unimpeded?"

"Haha, do you really think it's your own skill? If it weren't for my protection of the clan..." Shuo Ting laughed disdainfully upon hearing this, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that the problem with the ancient phoenix tree was a clan secret, and he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Daoming, let's hurry up and make a move, or things might change!" Seeing that Shuoting stopped halfway through his sentence, Xiao Hongyi didn't think much of it and urged him anxiously.

After all, this place isn't far from Mount Lieyao.

Moreover, he had never personally witnessed Xia Daoming's methods, so he was inevitably influenced by his superficial understanding of the realm. He was still somewhat worried and uneasy. If he could not kill Shuo Ting as soon as possible, and if the time dragged on or the commotion became too great, alerting Lieyao Mountain, it would be difficult to escape once the people there arrived.

"Haha, do you think you're worthy to lay a hand on this protector?" Shuo Ting was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Amidst laughter, he made a hand seal and pointed at the firebird in the air.

The firebird swooped down, its sharp claws, wreathed in flames, and swooped down to grab the two men.

　That concludes today's update.
