You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"Senior Sister Qin." When Chen Huai'an saw that figure, a look of shock appeared on his face.

This woman was none other than a benefactor in his life, because it was through her that he was able to enter the Qingyun Sect and become a menial outer disciple.

And now, she is injured and being hunted down.

Chen Huai'an dared not imagine who was daring to hunt down a powerful figure like Senior Sister Qin.

"There's an ant down there. Go and take care of him. Don't let him report back. We can't let Qin Muyao get away." A clear, cold voice came from the air.

Chen Huai'an felt a chill run down his spine.

His emergence from this space was so unfortunate; also, had the secret of his space been exposed?

Just as Chen Huai'an was lost in thought, a black figure suddenly flew towards him.

Chen Huai'an didn't care why Senior Sister Qin was being chased; he took off running.

Judging from the aura emanating from him, this guy is a Qi Refining Realm Immortal Master.

No matter what level of Qi Refining the opponent is, even if it's just someone at the first level of Qi Refining, they'll still give him a hard time.

Qin Muyao also saw Chen Huai'an below, but she was being chased and couldn't care less about him. She could only tell him to fend for himself.

"An ant at the Body Refinement Realm, where do you think you're going?" Several streaks of light quickly disappeared. The one who was ordered to chase Chen Huai'an was a master at the second level of the early Qi Refining Realm. He released his divine sense and found that Chen Huai'an was just an ant at the Body Refinement Realm.

As he was speaking, a beam of black light shot directly toward Chen Huai'an.

With his cultivation level, he didn't need to chase after Chen Huai'an at all; he could kill him instantly with a single strike.

However, after unleashing his attack, this person did not rejoin the main force but remained in place.

For no other reason than that he knew that chasing Qin Muyao, the prodigy of the Qingyun Sect, was an extremely dangerous thing. The other party was a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, while they were just ants and minions at the Qi Refining Realm. If they followed closely, the other party could kill them instantly with just one move in a final counterattack.

It would only take him a minute to stay behind and hunt down an ant at the Body Refinement Realm. He could use this opportunity to slip away to the end, so he wouldn't have to risk his life.

"Bang."

Sensing the danger, Chen Huai'an unleashed his wood-elemental magic, forming a shield woven from oil vines on his back. As soon as the vine armor appeared, it was struck by the black beam of light, and with a bang, Chen Huai'an was sent flying.

He withstood a blow from a master at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm. Although he was unable to break through the master's defense, it was a genuine attack from a master at the Qi Refining Realm, and his blood and qi surged within him.

"Huh, this guy has a really strong physique, he's not dead yet." A look of astonishment appeared on the black-clad man's face. This guy is interesting. Although his casual strike wasn't his full-force attack, it was still something that an ant in the Body Refinement Realm couldn't withstand.

Even a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining wouldn't dare to take this attack head-on, yet this ant at the Body Refining level actually withstood it.

"Wait, something's not right. Could this guy be at the Qi Refining Realm?" Before the man in black could make any further moves, he saw Chen Huai'an running wildly into the depths of the Qingyun Mountains as if nothing had happened.

"You think you can escape?"

The man in black flashed and chased after Chen Huai'an in the direction he had run.

"Damn it, is this the strength of a Qi Refining Realm Immortal Master? He's truly incomparable to someone like me who just broke through to the Qi Refining Realm." Chen Huai'an considered himself fast and strong, but this black-clad man's strength was clearly superior. He wasn't entirely sure which level of the Qi Refining Realm this man was at, but his cultivation level was definitely above his. Encountering such a master, the only thing he could do was run away as quickly as possible, rather than act rashly and fight to the death.

Chen Huai'an could run on two legs, but this guy was already able to fly by controlling his qi. Those who can fly by controlling their qi must have at least the second level of the Qi Refining Realm.

If he were only at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, Chen Huai'an would still have some ability to protect himself. However, if he were at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm, he would have no choice but to flee to Qingyun Market. There are Qingyun Sect disciples guarding the area, and fighting is prohibited in Qingyun Market.

However, heading to Qingyun Market also carries certain risks. The enemy dares to hunt down even the inner disciples of the Qingyun Sect. It would be unreasonable if they didn't have some kind of backing.

Escaping towards Qingyun Market is quite dangerous, but if he escapes deeper into the Qingyun Mountains, although there is some danger, he can shift the blame and make this guy fight the monsters.

Because sometimes, humans can be more dangerous than monsters.

"Is this guy some kind of mudfish? He can run so fast." Soon, the man in black realized that something was wrong.

With his strength, he could fly using his inner energy and catch up with Chen Huai'an in just a few breaths. But this guy was hiding and dodging in the forest, and he almost lost track of his target several times.

Furthermore, the consumption of his internal magical power by flying for a long time is extremely high.

If this ant cannot be defeated in a short time, the senior brother leading the group will definitely not let him off when they return to the sect.

The man in black, thinking of the possible punishment, was enraged. His magical power surged forth. "Die!"

Facing the onslaught of black beams of light coming from behind and above, Chen Huai'an dared not be careless. Relying on his agile figure, he leaped and bounded through the woods.

What infuriated the man in black was that after each of his attacks, the guy seemed to vanish. If he hadn't left a tracking mark on him beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to detect that the guy was still hiding nearby.

Chen Huai'an had practiced the Wood Release technique, but he wasn't very good at using it. Otherwise, he would have shaken off his opponent long ago by taking advantage of the terrain.

"Damn it, could this guy have left a tracking mark on me? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to track me down so quickly." After several attempts, Chen Huai'an realized that the man in black must have left a divine sense mark on him. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the man to find him so quickly every time he used the Wood Release technique to hide in the nearby bushes.

Chen Huai'an was shocked, but the man in black was even more shocked. If he didn't find Chen Huai'an soon, the man's magic power would be exhausted and the man would slip away right under his nose.

The marks on my body are like a leech, impossible to shake off. The only way to resolve this crisis is to fight back. "Damn it, I can't let this continue. I have to fight back. Only by fighting back can I have a chance of survival."

How should we retaliate?

Chen Huai'an kept thinking.

His opponent was able to find him and launch a series of fierce magical attacks. His wood-type magic power was exhausted, and he could no longer use the Wood Release technique.

Among the basic spells of the Five Elements, there are not only Wood Escape Techniques, but also Earth Escape Techniques and Water Escape Techniques. Chen Huai'an has not practiced these either. In this Qingyun Mountain Range, using Wood Escape Techniques to escape is the most suitable option.

However, his opponent was pressing too hard, and his wood-type magic power was being greatly depleted. He could only use it twice more before it was exhausted. He had to launch an effective counterattack and severely injure his opponent when his wood-type magic power was completely depleted.

That way, he will have a glimmer of hope.

"Damn it, I'll risk it all, I'll kill you!" Chen Huai'an thought angrily.
