CHAPTER 228: 166. DO AS YOU PLEASE, I AM CAPABLE OF ANYTHING.

Lei Jun continued to diligently conceal his tracks and restrain his vital energy.

Although he had already crossed Dengfeng Ridge, the commotion behind him was earth-shattering, and the farther he could escape, the better.

Several powerhouses from the Upper Three Heavens were currently preoccupied with each other; their awareness of their surroundings, though still strong, was not as comprehensive as before.

Lei Jun carefully concealed his form, leaving no trace as he continued to head south.

Right now, he could only hope that Tang Xiaotang’s secluded cultivation area was to the south, rather than in the north of Dengfeng Ridge, which had already become physically devastated.

Truth be told, Lei Jun had his doubts.

It seemed that the Li Clan had no idea that this area was so dangerous.

How could it be such a coincidence that so many crises had converged near Tang Xiaotang’s secluded cultivation spot?

As far as Lei Jun knew, although his junior sister was quite open and didn’t avoid others, she was not the type to broadcast the location of her secluded cultivation everywhere.

Lei Jun navigated through the dense forests of the mountains.

The rocks and earth beneath his feet, affected by the distant turmoil, were also trembling continuously.

The surrounding mountains were all affected by the battle from afar.

Under such circumstances, the pulses of the Global Spiritual Qi were bound to fall into chaos.

This was not a disturbance that one or two Upper Three Heavens experts could cause. Instead, it was a scene of chaos only possible when many fought each other.

Hmm?

In this environment, Lei Jun suddenly felt a slight stirring in his heart.

He faintly sensed some disturbances in the Spiritual Energy ahead.

It was Pure Yang in nature, scorching and pure.

After Lei Jun’s Root Bone improved to that of a Yin Yang Sacred Body, he had always been sensitive to such auras.

He immediately headed in that direction.

Continuing south and crossing another mountain ridge, the presence of the Pure Yang energy clearly grew stronger.

Lei Jun looked closely and saw a faint golden glow shimmering in a mountain stream, like a mist of light.

It is indeed the aura of Pure Yang. My junior sister is truly cultivating in seclusion here... Lei Jun realized.

The place Master Yuan Mobai found is naturally reliable.

But Li Song has the exceedingly rare Heavenly Net, and after a long search, he finally drew near this area.

Though there’s still some distance, he’s getting very close.

However, the place arranged by Yuan Mobai has its own universe within. The Pure Yang energy is sealed inside and doesn’t leak out, so even though Li Song has come close, he still can’t pinpoint the exact location.

It was only because the great battle involving many powerful individuals triggered the Global Spiritual Qi pulses that a bit of the Pure Yang energy from this hidden cave mansion leaked out.

Upon seeing this, Lei Jun furrowed his brows and approached.

But he quickly halted, because he noticed someone else was approaching.

The newcomers were coming from even further south.

The great battle to the north had caused these people to hesitate and stay put to observe the situation, not daring to head northward lightly.

Lei Jun deployed the Breathing Soil Banner and hid nearby, observing secretly.

The newcomers were a group of seven, their attire unlike those from the Central Plains Great Tang Dynasty.

They looked more like they came from the Southern Wilderness.

All seven were rugged in appearance, their brows revealing a hint of cold ruthlessness, their murderous intent unconcealed.

Even without any deliberate posturing, a stench of blood emanated from them.

The surrounding plants and trees withered upon contact, as if their life had been drained.

Seeing this, Lei Jun speculated:

Blood River Sect members?

The leaders, one male and one female, both exuded a cold aura.

"We agreed to meet Master at Longqing River, but I never thought such an incident would occur," the woman said coldly.

The man in Southern Wilderness attire watched the northern sky and said, "Let’s wait and see what happens."

While they were talking, a violent roar came from afar, shaking the wilderness and captivating the soul.

A heart-palpitating Demonic Qi Evil Miasma shot straight into the clouds.

Both the Blood River Sect members and the hidden Lei Jun felt a chill in their hearts at the sight.

A Great Demon was active in that direction.

Accompanying the Great Demon’s roar was the sound of thunder.

Purple thunderbolts emerged from the direction of Yuxiu Mountain, rapidly casting half of the sky in a purple hue.

Accompanying the thunder were roars, resembling both Thunder Roar and Dragon Chant.

Lei Jun looked into the distance and saw a purple Thunder Dragon emerge from the clouds, shaking the heavens and the earth.

It was the top-tier Divine Skill of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master’s Mansion’s direct lineage, the Yang Thunder Dragon.

Opposing this display was a spectacular violet and crimson hue that quietly but radiantly colored the other half of the sky.

A Worm Master from the Upper Three Heavens... Lei Jun guessed.

The only one with such profound cultivation in the Witchcraft Sect’s Worm Art Vein would be an Elder from the Witchcraft Worm Sacred Land, Yintuo Mountain.

Sure enough, the Blood River Sect disciples, looking at that violet and crimson expanse, discussed:

"It’s Elder Tian from Yintuo Mountain!"

"I told you we were following him here when he suddenly disappeared. Master even went to look for him specifically; he really is still in this area."

"What is Elder Tian doing here all of a sudden?"

"Don’t know. Who knows what news he has received."

"And on the other side, that’s the Yang Thunder Dragon from the Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Li Clan, but it’s unclear where that Great Demon came from..."

"Don’t go there. Such a battle, although tempting, is not something we can approach directly. We’ll wait for Master’s orders."

While Lei Jun listened to these Blood River Sect disciples’ discussion, he also watched as an extremely vicious expanse of blood-red rose to the sky from afar.

The ferocity within it was almost on par with that of the Great Demon.

The Southern Witch Sect was one of the rare lineages within the Human Race’s Taoist Heritage that also delved into Demonic Qi Evil Miasma.

Although they primarily cultivated Spiritual Energy, their paths entailed the assimilation of Demonic Qi Evil Miasma to some extent.

The Blood River Sect was a prime example among them.

However, most of the time, they also frequently engaged in conflict and slaughter with the Demon Race.

The Blood River Sect craved blood, was prone to killing, and cultivated through accumulating deathly energy and murderous intent.

Their targets were all living beings, regardless of whether they were human or demon.
