My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 385 Suppression
"Oh no! We've been exposed!"

Sensing the overwhelming aura approaching from above,
Inside the secluded room, a gaunt figure's expression suddenly changed.

boom! ! !
He then swung his palm upwards, unleashing a powerful surge of magical energy that erupted from his palm. This energy burst forth in a jet-black beam several meters long, instantly piercing and shattering the entire rooftop. With unparalleled force, it hurtled towards the massive hand of wind and clouds descending from the sky!
at the same time,

With his other hand, he formed a hand seal, and black light surrounded him. In the shadows, the shadow of a black moth seemed to be reflected on his body, and wisps of mysterious energy permeated the void.

This place is the enemy's headquarters.
The gaunt figure had no intention of prolonging the battle.
Since it has already been exposed,

We need to escape as soon as possible!

They were preparing to use the cover of the battle to escape using a stealth technique.

however,
Boom! ! !
The moment he flicked his wrist and unleashed the jet-black beam of light, it collided with the massive, descending hand of wind and clouds from the sky.
His expression suddenly changed drastically!

Just for a moment,

He felt an irresistible force, like a tidal wave crashing down upon him.
The dark light he unleashed only lasted a moment before being pulverized like paper!

"What?! How is this possible?!"

The gaunt figure gasped in surprise, his eyes widening.

No time to think too much,
The black light on his body shone even brighter, and the moment the giant hand from above struck down, he transformed into a black afterimage and teleported away.

Boom! ! !
With a violent tremor, the inconspicuous little house was smashed to pieces in an instant!
at the same time,

More than ten zhang away,
A gaunt figure appeared not far away.

Looks ugly.

That palm strike seemed to possess the power to seal off the void!
Even when he used his most proficient second-tier escape spell, he was still unable to completely evade it.

The force of the attack also caused him some injuries.

"Damn it!"

The gaunt figure cursed under his breath.

But his current situation doesn't allow him to linger for long.

"Hmph! You're lucky!"

The gaunt figure snorted coldly and gave the rapidly approaching figure a deep look.

It turned into a wisp of black smoke with each breath.
The figure suddenly vanished.

"Ok?"

A distance of several hundred feet,

It passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Changchuan's figure appeared as if by teleportation above the house that had been reduced to dust.

I just saw a figure disappear here.

Upon arriving at this place,

However, they found nothing.

There wasn't even a trace of magic power left behind by the opponent after they escaped!
"Escape technique?"

"No, it's a technique performed using Gu worms!"

Shen Changchuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Such Gu techniques are not something that cultivators in the Southern Region possess.

It's most likely a method from the demonic path, or even possibly from a cultivator among the four major tribes who is skilled in using Gu techniques!
The other party actually managed to infiltrate the Wilderness City.
Was the purpose to assassinate Senior Brother Wu Tianhao?
That shouldn’t be the case!

Wu Tianhao was only at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

But that guy's aura is at least at the sixth level!

If you really want to deal with it,
We can simply ambush them when they are away on missions.

Or,
It has other purposes.
Was the ambush on Wu Tianhao just a side effect?

and,

Does the fact that they were able to infiltrate the Wilderness City so easily mean that someone was helping them get in?
In a flash,

Many thoughts flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

never mind,

Why do you think so much?
Once you get a hold of the other party, everything will be clear!

Shen Changchuan put the many thoughts in his mind out of his head.

"Using Gu worms to escape is indeed a good method. If you encounter other people, they may not be able to find the direction you escaped in."

"But unfortunately, you've run into me!"

Without the slightest hesitation,
Shen Changchuan took out Xiao Jin.
The antennae on Little Gold's head twitched.

It roared in a certain direction.

In that direction!
Shen Changchuan instantly understood what Xiao Jin meant. However, at the same time...

An idea also arose in his mind.

"Although Xiao Jin was trained by me and we have a certain understanding, it is ultimately not as effective as direct communication."

"Perhaps after this incident, I'll need to modify that beast-taming technique, so that at least I can communicate with Little Gold."

As the thought flashed through his mind,
Shen Changchuan's movements did not falter in the slightest.

He stepped into the void.
The figure disappeared.

behind,

A sharp whistle blew.

The patrol team, sensing the commotion, is rapidly approaching from a distance.
After a while,
Outside the desolate city,

It was several miles away from the city wall.

Above a river and lake.

Shen Changchuan's figure hovered in mid-air, looking down at the land below, shaded by tall trees, overgrown with weeds, and with a river meandering through it, his expression somewhat hesitant.

"Are you sure this is here?"

Xiao Jin: Hiss! (The smell continues here!)
Shen Changchuan remained silent for a while.

Frowning slightly.

After discovering the other party's whereabouts in the city, they made a ruthless attack, only to have the other party escape using some kind of Gu technique.

With the help of Xiao Jin's abilities, Shen Changchuan tracked them all the way here.

but,

How did they manage to escape from the Desolate City so easily?

You should know that there is a 24-hour surveillance array inside the Wilderness City!

Even if Shen Changchuan leaves the Wilderness City and forces his way in, it will still cause fluctuations in the city's warning array!

But the other party,
But they escaped the city without a sound!

If it weren't for Xiao Jin,

I'm afraid they won't even be able to spot each other!

Is this a method similar to teleportation? Or something else?
He had no time to think further.

at this time,

The desolate city behind them began to stir.

Powerful auras rose up, accompanied by warnings throughout the city. A white light curtain rose above the city, like an inverted bowl covering the entire city.

It seems,
So they've finally discovered this and started taking action?
A glint flashed in Shen Changchuan's eyes.

"In that case, let's retreat!"

The enemy situation is unclear.

Furthermore, the other party's methods are unknown.

To avoid being ambushed,

It's best to retreat first!

Go back and give a call, and you'll be able to summon a large number of helpers.

Only a fool would try to break through alone.

Shen Changchuan turned around and prepared to leave.

however,
At this very moment,
hum!
An invisible wave rippled outwards.

Shen Changchuan discovered that
At this moment, an invisible force seemed to rise from the space within a radius of a hundred feet, cutting it off from the outside world!
Shen Changchuan's body remained frozen in place.

The space is restricted!

His pupils contracted.

"This is."

Just then,
The lake behind,

The gaunt figure with a gloomy face slowly rose from the lake.

"Hmph! A mere fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivator dares to come and hunt me down!"

"If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll really think I'm a pushover!"

The gaunt figure snorted coldly.
His face contorted in a ferocious expression, and a chilling killing intent filled the void.
