In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

Qingfeng Town is surrounded by mountains, with lush trees and many strange beasts inhabiting the forests. It is one of the remnants of the Endless Ancient Forbidden Land.

He was peacefully cultivating at the inn when he suddenly sensed a strong killing intent in the middle of the night. Without hesitation, he broke through the window and ran away.

He leaped dozens of meters in one stride and plunged headlong into the western mountains.

Lu Yao was heading in that direction; if he was lucky, he should be able to bump into it.

But after running all night, five knights riding strange beasts were getting closer and closer in the sky behind him, and he was even attacked several times.

If it weren't for the protective power of the gold belt around his waist, he would probably have been seriously injured immediately.

After all, the cultivators who came after him were all from the Divine Bridge and the Other Shore, and they were all stronger than him.

Despite this, Ye Fan was in a sorry state.

"Kid, stop running. Hand over all the treasures you have, and I'll let you die a quicker death."

A knight clad in crimson armor and with an iron mask on his face spoke in a cold tone.

"I have no grudge against you, and I even took care of the Jiang family members who were stranded elsewhere. Is this how you treat me?"

Ye Fan was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder. The Jiang family was really going too far. That young man named Jiang Yichen looked very young, but he was so ruthless. He just wanted to get his hands on a Four Extremes Treasure.

"Hey kid, let me tell you, you definitely have more than just that golden belt. The five-colored beasts can sense that you have quite a few Origin materials on you." The knight's tone was icy, and the powerful pressure made Ye Fan feel the aura of death.

So that's how it is. The five-colored beast could sense the source within me.

Lu Yao gave Ye Fan some source energy, which was all stored in a small cauldron. Because it would be convenient to use during his cultivation these past two days, he kept it in his arms.

Ye Fan squeezed out as much divine power as possible from his body, leaping and running through the mountains and forests, occasionally using the ancient, sturdy trees that were dozens of feet tall to dodge the divine light shooting down from the sky.

"Hahaha, this game is interesting. It's been a long time since I've played a hunting game like this. Let him run around a bit longer, until his divine power is exhausted, until he kneels down and begs us to let him go." Another black-armored knight laughed cruelly.

"Young Master Yichen told us to take the treasures he possessed back as soon as possible..."

The black-armored knight said indifferently, "It's alright. He's just a cultivator from the Bitter Sea realm. He can't escape. Let him play a little longer."

As he spoke, he pulled on the reins, and the beast beneath him slowed down by a third.

Ye Fan could sense the Jiang family knights' cat-and-mouse attitude, and the veins on his forehead bulged, but apart from impotent rage, he had no other choice but to run faster and faster.

"Old Lu, where exactly are you?" Ye Fan couldn't help but recall what Lu Yao had said a few days ago about suppressing more than a hundred Jiang family members to interrogate Heng Yu Jing. Considering the current situation, he actually felt that it wasn't something he couldn't do.

These scions of ancient aristocratic families are extremely skilled at killing and robbing; the number of mortals and cultivators who have died at their hands is probably countless.

Ye Fan's divine power surged continuously, and with his strong body, he moved through the primeval forest like an ape.

If anyone were to discover that he was unknowingly heading towards the nine sacred mountains of the desolate ancient forbidden land, he would realize that he was actually heading towards them.

The old man was right; when people suffer outside, they naturally want to go home.

The sound of the waterfall...

Ye Fan was taken aback, thinking he was just too tired and was hallucinating from running.

But upon closer listening, one could hear muffled thunderclaps coming from not far ahead, like the roar of ten thousand horses trampling the sky, heavy, domineering, and carrying the momentum to shatter everything.

The air is moist, and tiny, crystal-clear water droplets form a thin mist.

Ye Fan was overjoyed. It wasn't a hallucination; there really was the sound of a waterfall ahead. As long as he jumped into the waterfall, he could hide underwater and escape with the river.

So his foot speed increased by three points.

"No, there seems to be a river ahead." Finally, a knight spotted a glittering jade ribbon in the sky ahead, though it didn't look very big because of the distance.

After some quick calculations, one of the knights lifted his bronze mask and shouted, "That river ahead is probably dozens of miles wide. If that kid jumps into it, we'll never find him again!"

"Chase him at full speed, don't let him get away." The black-armored knight, seemingly the core of the group, ordered a full-speed pursuit.

The five strange beasts rapidly increased their speed, getting closer and closer to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan turned his head and saw that the people behind him had sped up. He then swung his arms and ran with his head down.

Soon after, Ye Fan finally saw the river and soon stood on the bank above the waterfall.

The river is dozens of miles wide and stretches as far as the eye can see. When the water crashes against the boulders, it turns into tiny, splashing droplets that shimmer with iridescent colors in the sunlight.

What's even more breathtaking is that the river plunges down from the sky like a reversed Milky Way, forming a magnificent and awe-inspiring waterfall. Upon landing, it bursts into a vast and surging wave that flows further and further away.

The earth was shaking, and the air was buzzing.

It's too big! Won't I die if I jump in? Are there any ferocious beasts living in the water?

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment and took a step back.

"Boy, obediently prepare to die!" A strange and monstrous roar came from behind, along with a crimson divine light that transformed into a red spear in mid-air.

It was imprinted with mysterious Dao patterns, its temperature was extremely high, its speed was extremely fast, and it seemed as if the air was about to be pierced, emitting a buzzing sound.

Ye Fan gritted his teeth and then cursed, "You bastards of the Jiang family! If I don't die, I will wipe out the entire Jiang family line!"

Then he suddenly jumped, closed his eyes tightly, and fell down the waterfall.

But then, Ye Fan sensed something was wrong, because he was suddenly suspended in the air, supported by a vast divine power.

"You look so disheveled after just a few days."

A mocking voice came from not far away.

The voice was so familiar, Ye Fan was overjoyed: "Old Lü!"

Sure enough, Lü Yao's figure slowly emerged from the void: "Let's go, let's go up."

In an instant, that divine force pulled him up sharply, and in the blink of an eye, he was back at the spot where he had just jumped off the waterfall.

The crimson spear that had been chasing after him was easily wiped away by Lü Yao with a flick of his sleeve, as if writing had been erased by an eraser.

"Are you the disciple of Yao Guang?" Five knights flew over from a distance. The black-armored knight saw that it was Lü Yao and lost his killing intent, but his tone was still not very friendly.

But Lü Yao didn't even want to say anything more. He stretched out his palm, and the intense, dazzling holy light made the world lose its color, covering an area of ​​several feet, and pressing down on the five knights.

Upon seeing this palm strike, the five knights' expressions changed drastically. They all channeled their divine power, and multicolored divine light shot into the sky in an attempt to block the strike.

Unfortunately, in an instant, these divine lights shattered like broken glass, turning into countless points of light.

Five knights—no, four knights—were burned to dust by the holy light spell, while the black-armored knight survived.

Although he was seriously injured.

"Bang!"

The black-armored knight was thrown in front of Ye Fan.

"This person is the leader. Judging from his divine power, he should be practicing the Hengyu Scripture. He is a collateral bloodline of the Jiang family."

Ye Fan looked at Lü Yao, whose face held a half-smile.

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then dragged him aside.

Lu Yao could only sigh, "As expected of the protagonist who is decisive and ruthless. He was unwilling just a few days ago, but after being chased and almost killed once, he immediately got the hang of it."
