One morning, the grotesque stone face that had been floating in the air was completely swallowed up by the mountain.

Three aged figures slowly emerged from the narrow tunnel. They were all priests and elders of the tribe, whose status and strength were equal to that of Granny Liu.

soon.

Feng Ying bid her final farewell to Wugensheng. She gently embraced her father, as if she had a thousand words to say, but they remained unspoken. She simply smiled and waved, then, led by Granny Liu, walked onto the altar.

"Please stay where you are and do not cross the boundary."

An elderly man, blind in both eyes, slowly walked towards Wugensheng and Li Muxuan, guided by their breath. He dragged his cane and drew a circle of rolling black energy on the ground, restricting their movement.

"Sect Leader, this is...."

Li Muxuan felt numb all over. He vaguely sensed that there was an astonishing amount of poisonous energy all around him, like ghosts surrounding him, but he could not see it. If he moved even slightly, he would definitely be affected.

"Poison."

"Don't move, I can't solve it."

Wugensheng's voice was hoarse. He slumped to the ground, his dull eyes fixed on the thin figure on the altar.

The four elders stood before the abyss-like cave, knelt down, and clasped their hands in prayer.

After a while, the communication ended, and preparations began for the ceremony.

Three elderly people walked to the edge of the altar, forming an inverted triangle. They each chanted incantations, and their bodies radiated surging energy that poured into the totems and patterns on the soles of their feet, instantly reviving the entire altar.

"child...."

"give it to you."

Granny Liu had extremely high expectations for Feng Ying, as she was the best vessel she had seen in over sixty years, with a success rate of nearly 50%, far exceeding the 10% or 20% success rate of vessels in previous generations.

If their ancestors could walk in the world in human form, their clan would be destined to regain its glory.

"Ah."

Feng Ying was already prepared and knew what her failure would mean, so she nodded gently.

An ancient, decaying aura emanated from the cave like a tsunami.

As the ceremony began, Granny Liu left the altar, and all the totems and patterns instantly shone brightly, with a continuous stream of golden energy rapidly converging on Feng Ying's body.

She stood suspended in mid-air, her consciousness gradually fading as she fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, Li Muxuan, who was in the distance, froze, his pupils dilating in shock.

A massive gray tentacle, riddled with ugly holes and dripping with pus and black blood, emerged from the cave and approached Feng Ying's brow, connecting with it.

"boom!!!"

Suddenly, a hurricane swept through the entire cave, its unimaginable power like an endless ocean, pouring into Feng Ying's body.

The golden light that swirled around his body suddenly broke, leaving blood-red lines imprinted on his skin.

The ceremony was extremely long. The power of the 'ancestor' gradually took over Feng Ying's body, causing her to undergo a transformation. She was like a porcelain doll about to shatter, with white cracks covering her entire body, which shocked Wu Gensheng and Li Muxuan.

Several hours later, Feng Ying was on the verge of collapse, but she did not explode. Instead, the cracks in her skin were constantly repairing themselves, and all the energy gradually merged with her flesh and blood, adapting to the situation.

Witnessing the miraculous scene, Granny Liu held her breath in tension. This was a feat that surpassed that of generations of predecessors, and the successful possession of the body was almost a certainty.

"Boom!!!"

As the gray tentacles fell from the void to the ground and shattered into dust, the terrifying atmosphere inside the cave gradually subsided into deathly silence, as if the ritual had come to an end.

Feng Ying hovered in mid-air, her eyes tightly closed. The cracks disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the powerful flow of Qi was restrained and suppressed.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, when she awoke again, her pupils were dark gray, and her cold majesty caused the four priests, including Granny Liu, to kneel down in excitement and worship 'Feng Ying'.

"Welcome to the birth of our ancestor!!!"

They shouted loudly, with boundless enthusiasm.

However, 'Feng Ying' was somewhat unnatural. The lingering obsession with the container within her body prevented her from controlling her entire body, and she even felt stiffness in her hands and feet.

The next instant, his gaze swept across the void and landed on Wugensheng and Li Muxuan. The 'ancestor' discovered the problem.

With a casual wave of its hand, the circle of poison that had trapped the two of them vanished in an instant.

"leave here."

The indifferent words left no room for negotiation. Almost instantly, Wugensheng knew the situation: his daughter was dead...

They died completely, with no possibility of resurrection...

Li Muxuan was stunned; that person was definitely not the Feng Ying he knew.

"Xiao Li, let's go—"

Wugensheng stood up unsteadily, grabbing Li Muxuan's wrist tightly to calm him down, and also to calm himself down, his voice hoarse like a ghost.

"Listen to me, don't look back... go."

Li Muxuan could sense the sect leader's anger. Without saying anything more, he carried Wugensheng on his back and ran away as fast as he could without looking back, speeding away from the tribe.

Inside the cave, the 'ancestor' sensed the subtle changes in its body. Just as it had guessed, it would take time to fully adapt.

Granny Liu looked up, her tense nerves replaced by unbridled joy. She organized the information and reported to this ancient being.

“Ancestor, those Central Plains people who killed your vessel and invaded our tribe back then, although your biological father has died, their sect still exists. I am useless and unable to destroy it. Please forgive me.”

Upon hearing this, the 'ancestor' was slightly surprised and asked, "You mean that cripple from just now?"

Judging from its impression, Wugensheng is similar to an insect, so it's simply unbelievable that it could kill the white-haired powerhouse from many years ago.

"Yes, Zuo Ruotong of the Sanyi Sect is dead."

Granny Liu bowed slightly, kowtowed to the ground, and humbly pleaded, "Please take action, wipe out their sect, and bring peace to the children of our clan for future generations."

"He destroyed my container and made me wait for years."

The ancestor sighed softly, "This debt really needs to be settled."

"You all go down for now. I will go into seclusion for a few days to completely refine this body before making a decision."

"clear."

Granny Liu felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders; things had taken a turn for the better, and she saw hope for revenge once again.

The 'ancestor' turned his back to the crowd and entered the cave, where a dark barrier isolated him from everything.

"What should we do with those two Central Plains people?" someone asked.

If it weren't for the ancestor's instructions, they had originally planned to kill Wugensheng and Li Muxuan to silence them after the ceremony was completed.

"Want to chase?"

A short, stout old man's eyes flashed with a sinister light: "If Feng Yao holds a grudge, it's better to nip it in the bud as soon as possible."

"In that case, I'll go and arrange the manpower right away."

The blind old man smiled faintly and said, "They can't escape from these 100,000 mountains."

Chapter 159 The Defeated Dog's Escape

The night wind was cold and gloomy. In the ink-black forest, a fleeting shadow swept by, stirring up a howling gale.

The vast Ten Thousand Mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, with a complex and chaotic terrain covered with trees, thorns, and poisonous vines. Countless mosquitoes and wild animals come out at night to forage, emitting a low, eerie hum.

Li Muxuan's heart rate soared. Carrying Wugensheng on his back, he fled all the way, fearing that if he slowed down, he would be buried in a foreign land.

As a user of the Reversal of Directions, he creates a special 'field' within a radius of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters), which penetrates and spreads regardless of any medium, and on this basis, he can manipulate external objects at will.

"Hey!"

The dense vines and tangled dead branches in front of him were violently torn apart in an instant by Li Muxuan's inverted movements. He leaped up, overcoming the obstacles, and disappeared into the dark night.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

A dozen or so figures were in hot pursuit. In this tribal territory they knew all too well, they recognized the direction, but they found that the two fleeing Central Plains people were moving at about the same speed as them, without any slowing down.

"Chase!"

"This concerns the secrets of our tribe; we cannot let them escape!"

"Woo!!!"

Someone blew a flute, and the poisonous insects, snakes, and rats lurking in various damp and dark corners were all driven to chase after it in a certain direction.

A chilling killing intent came from all directions.

As Li Muxuan fled, his ears trembled with cold. Even though he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the mournful flute music coming from behind him sounded like a vengeful ghost demanding his life, growing increasingly urgent and piercing.

Without even a moment's respite, Li Muxuan suddenly expanded the Eight Directions Reversal several times over, snapping more than ten ancient trees in half, which fell and piled up in the forest.

"Sect Leader!! Those guys have no intention of letting us go."

Li Muxuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. His internal energy and physical strength were being constantly depleted. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

The two left the cave at dusk, and after passing through the tribe's secluded paths, they fled eastward for half an hour. The pursuers behind them never slowed down and continued to quicken their pace.

"Don't stop, keep running, we're almost at the waterfall."

Wu Gensheng stiffly turned his head and saw the dense shadows. He hesitated, knowing that if he and Li Muxuan were surrounded by those Gu people, they would have no chance of survival.

"call out!"

"call out!"

Just as he was pondering a solution, several enormous centipedes and spiders swooped down from above, poised to hunt.

"Pfft!!"

As the magnetic field rotates, invisible magnetic lines penetrate their bodies, tearing them apart.

More and more poisonous insects appeared in front of him and on both sides. Li Muxuan was on edge and dared not be careless. He breathed heavily as he killed all the creatures that invaded the magnetic field.

"One kilometer left..."

Wugensheng vaguely remembered the route around there; he had been there before.

"When you reach the cliff, just jump off."

Before the words were finished, a crescent-shaped scimitar was hurled from behind by the pursuer. It was incredibly fast and aimed directly at Wugensheng's head.

With a soft metallic clang, Li Muxuan, sensing the murderous intent, manipulated the magnetic field to influence and deflect the direction of the hidden weapon.

The brute force and sharp blade pierced through an ancient tree to the side, causing it to crash to the ground.

"Damn it."

The escape distance of a kilometer was long and agonizing for the two, as they had to constantly avoid various hidden weapons and poisonous insects.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

More than ten bone arrows shot out, slicing through the sky, but none of them hit their mark.

With less than a hundred meters left in the life-or-death chase, Li Muxuan continuously narrowed the range of his magnetic field, trying to retain as much Qi as possible to prepare for jumping off the cliff.

He used various cover to dodge and weave, as agile as a wild monkey, and for a while, no one could catch him.

"At the bottom of the waterfall pool... there is an underground river."

"Hold your breath and swim with the current..."

"Just hold on for one more minute... and we'll be on shore."

Wugensheng's voice trembled as he spoke. At that moment, he had a splitting headache and the lingering mental trauma had not yet healed. He tried to circulate his Qi several times, almost losing control and injuring himself.

The roaring sound of rushing water echoed from afar. Seizing this glimmer of hope, Li Muxuan mustered all his strength, suddenly increased his speed, and rushed over.

"Oh no! They're going to jump off the cliff!"

"killed!"

"Go together!"

Realizing the sudden change in the situation, the Gu people became increasingly determined and gave chase.

However, at this very moment, countless small stones beside the waterfall floated into the air, and under the effect of being turned upside down, they rained down like bullets.

"Pfft!"
