"At this moment, the power of the restriction I can exert is less than one tenth of its original power. I am afraid that I cannot restrain them for long."

Chen Yun's face was grim, and he said, "It's best to find a way out as soon as possible before they break through the restriction."

When he heard these words, Nanlong Hou realized that the crystal stone walls were indeed much dimmer than when he first saw them.

In an instant, his joyful expression disappeared, and he suddenly threw the small flag in his hand, which turned into a yellow light and rushed into the wall, disappearing without a trace. At the same time, the sound of chanting spells sounded again.

At the same time, a deafening explosion was heard from inside. The crystal stone wall arranged by Chen Yun flickered with blue light, and the roar of the explosion was clearly audible from it.

Obviously, Wang Tiangu and others have successfully cracked the ancient treasure of Nanlonghou and began to launch a fierce attack on the crystal stone wall.

Chen Yun glanced at the stone wall that was already glowing white, then looked at the flickering blue crystal wall. After a moment's hesitation, he waved his hand and summoned a spirit beast bag.

In an instant, three-colored gold-eating insects poured out like a tide. Chen Yun quickly made hand gestures and immediately performed the insect armor technique. The swarm of insects spun around Chen Yun wildly, and then the three-colored insect armor covered his body.

Nanlong Hou witnessed Chen Yun's series of actions and an expression of surprise flashed across his face.

However, at this moment, escape is the most important thing, so he naturally would not ask too many questions.

Not long after, just as the crystal stone wall was flickering and showing signs of imminent collapse, a rumbling sound came from the stone wall opposite, and the stone wall in front of them finally split apart in white light, revealing a stone staircase.

Upon seeing this, Nanlong Hou's whole body flashed with golden light, and he instantly transformed into a long golden rainbow and rushed out from the spot.

Chen Yun suddenly disappeared from the spot after a flash of lightning appeared on the wind and thunder wings behind him.

The next moment, he surpassed Nanlong Hou and his figure appeared in the center of the passage, but immediately a crisp cracking sound came from the passage below.

Chen Yun's face changed, and he flapped his Wind and Thunder Wings again. In a flash, he arrived at the entrance of the stone steps. Then he used all his strength to activate the Thunder Escape Technique and disappeared in a flash.

Just when Chen Yun had escaped a distance of several hundred feet, a sharp hissing sound erupted from the passage, followed by a dazzling golden rainbow that flashed out in an instant.

The golden rainbow circled at the exit for a moment, and then the resentful and cold voice of Nanlong Hou was heard.

"Remember this, don't let me get a chance next time, or I will destroy you both physically and spiritually!"

As soon as this curse-like warning was uttered, the golden rainbow shone brightly and then became blurred.

When a silver light shot out from the passage, the golden rainbow suddenly turned into an extremely thin ray of light. After flashing several times, it instantly rushed away into the distance.

It was so fast that it disappeared from the vicinity without a trace in the blink of an eye, and no trace could be found.

At this time, Chen Yun was on the edge of the sky, appearing and disappearing and turning into a tiny black dot.

"What kind of escape technique did these two perform to be so fast!"

Immediately after the silver light flew out, a black light shot out closely behind it. After the light gradually dissipated, a figure appeared. This person was Wang Tiangu, and he asked solemnly.

"The Nanlong Marquis used a secret technique uniquely created by the old Master Cangkun - 'Ten Thousand Feet of Threads'. The consumption of vital energy is huge, and even the essence and blood are difficult to avoid. The magic of this escape technique is that it can reach extremely far distances in an instant, and the escape light can be transformed into a tiny form like a silk thread, and the aura is completely hidden, making it impossible to track."

"But in fact, he has not left this place, it's just that we can't detect him with our spiritual sense. As for the young man named Chen Yun, his escape technique seems to come from the pair of mysterious wings that control lightning. Perhaps it is the legendary lightning escape technique of teleporting."

When the silver light disappeared, the figure of the old man surnamed Yun gradually appeared, and he spoke with an extremely gloomy expression.

At this time, the old woman and the black-faced monk also rushed out of the passage and happened to hear the words of the old man surnamed Yun.

"The escape technique of these two people is so strange, it is easy for them to escape! What should we do?"

The old woman's face showed a trace of worry, and she asked palely.

"We can rest assured about the young man surnamed Chen for now. But if Nanlong Hou really escapes, we will be in great trouble."

The black-faced man's expression at this moment was also quite serious:

"Friend Wang, Friend Yun, you promised that this operation would be able to successfully eliminate Nanlong Hou, so we decided to work together!"

"Even when he was seriously injured, he still dared to use secret techniques to forcibly increase his magic power. Now he even used the 'Ten Thousand Feet Thread', an extremely energy-consuming escape technique."

"Even if we don't chase him, he will be seriously injured and difficult to recover after returning. Even if he spends more than a hundred years to recover his vitality, he will not be able to maintain the realm of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Besides, when did I say that we couldn't track him?"

The old man surnamed Yun sneered and said grimly.

"Oh! Brother Yun's implication is..."

The black-faced man was cheered up and couldn't help but ask.

"Since I have already planned to completely eliminate him here, I have naturally made full preparations. As long as he cannot escape more than 300 miles in one breath, he will be under my control. And according to his current physical condition, he will definitely not be able to withstand the consumption of 'Ten Thousand Feet of Thread' for too long. Then we can chase him and kill him."

The old man surnamed Yun answered confidently.

"That's good. I can finally rest assured! If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Wang first giving me a piece of 'Black Jade Lotus' and promising to share the secrets of the Fallen Demon Valley with us afterwards, I would never have dared to take the risk and participate in this matter. It is unwise to make enemies with a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."

Not only did the dark-faced man breathe a sigh of relief, but the old woman's expression also relaxed and she said with great emotion.

"This time, in order to fight for the Fallen Demon Valley, the two Daoists have made tremendous efforts! However, we did not expect that Daoist Yun was not a casual cultivator, but an elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect. This really surprised us! Could it be that there are many such elders with hidden identities in the six sects of the Demonic Path?"

After the black-faced man said this, a complex emotion appeared on his face.

"Back then, although I was born in the Ghost Spirit Sect, I rarely participated in the sect's affairs. Therefore, there were only a few people in the sect who knew my true identity, and I had no intention of deceiving them."

"As for Fellow Daoist Nanlong, he is the descendant of Master Qiongkun, and we have a deep friendship. I was reluctant to take action against him, but after learning that he secretly met with the elders of the righteous sect Tianji Sect and even planned to join the sect, I had to take action."

"I tried to dissuade him, but he showed no remorse and even intended to use the power of Tianji Sect to enter Zhuimo Valley to search for treasure. Facing the rise of the righteous forces, I couldn't sit idly by, so I decided to kill him."

The old man surnamed Yun shook his head and sighed, speaking in an indifferent tone.

"Is there any connection between Nanlong Hou and Tianji Sect? Mr. Yun, you didn't mention a word about this before!"

The old woman looked surprised, and the black-faced man also looked angry.

"You didn't mention it? Maybe I was negligent for a moment. However, my friend didn't really join Tianji Sect." The old man surnamed Yun explained with a smile:
"If you two still have doubts, you might as well consider joining our sect. Once you become an elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect, the Tianji Sect will not be able to do anything to you."

"Humph! I am already in my old age and don't want to be bound by constraints anymore."

After hearing this, the old woman snorted coldly and flatly refused.

"I am used to being idle and have no intention of joining your family."

The black-faced man frowned in response.

"It's a pity! If you two are willing to join the Ghost Spirit Sect, it will greatly increase our strength. I won't force you. You just need to kill Nanlong Hou here, and Tianji Sect will not pursue the matter for a corpse."

"The only pity is that even though I have known Nanlong Hou for over a hundred years, he has always kept his mouth shut about the Fallen Demon Valley."

"I only know that there is a map of Master Cang Kun's entrance and exit to the Fallen Demon Valley in the hidden cave here. If you follow the map and enter the valley, your safety will be assured. Therefore, when we chase him later, I will temporarily spare his Nascent Soul life. I want to perform the soul-searching technique to find out more information."

The old man was not angry because of their refusal, but changed the subject.

"If the route map happens to be in the jade box that kid Chen is carrying, wouldn't that be tricky?"

Wang Tiangu asked worriedly.

"That's fine. Let's make this public and let all the sects in Tiannan know about it. Then both the good and evil sects and even the Tiandao League will ask him for the map. We can just take advantage of the chaos. Luoyun Sect wants to take the treasure of the Falling Demon Valley for itself, let's see if they have such an appetite! Compared to the map, I am more concerned about the secrets of the Falling Demon Valley that Nanlong Hou knows. If we know this information, even if everyone knows the way to enter the Falling Demon Valley, we will still have the advantage."

The old man surnamed Yun answered calmly.

Obviously, the old man surnamed Yun remembered the experience when he fought against Chen Yun before, when he used the black mountain to launch an attack, and finally used the Taimiao Divine Prohibition to block the attack!
Faced with such a situation, everyone, including the old woman, could only smile bitterly and shake their heads.

"Regarding this matter, we should return first and remove the seal on Fellow Daoist You. With Fellow Daoist You's strength at the Nascent Soul stage, there may still be room for recovery. In addition, I am also quite worried about my nephew. When he left, the black and red light he released was actually quite similar to the Devil Blood Slash that I practiced! I wonder if it will bring serious consequences!"

Wang Tiangu then put forward his own suggestions.

"That's right. Since we can't sense the other party's existence at the moment, let's go back to the original place and check the situation. Once the aftereffect of the secret technique performed by my fellow Daoist Nanlong wears off, we can track him down again." The old man surnamed Yun said in agreement.

At this time, the old man surnamed Yun and others were surrounding the ice sculpture of the cultivator surnamed You and fell into a brief silence.

"Why haven't you guys taken action to remove the seal yet?"

Wang Tiangu walked closer and asked in confusion.

"Remove the seal? How? I never expected this thing to be more sinister and cruel than we thought!"

There was a hint of fear in the old woman's eyes, and she whispered to herself.

The old man surnamed Yun had a face as gloomy as water and stood there without saying a word.

"What do you mean by this?"

Although Wang Tiangu asked this, after his eyes lingered on the ice sculpture for a moment, he revealed an expression of enlightenment, as if he had vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.

"Brother Wang, please take a look."

The black-faced man suddenly raised his right hand, waved it casually towards the ground, and then threw it towards the ice sculpture.

A piece of jade only the size of a fist shot out instantly.

After a crisp "bang" sound, a blue light flashed, and the broken jade just touched the surface of the ice sculpture, and immediately turned into blue ice of the same color in an instant, and then shattered into countless pieces of crystal light, disappearing without a trace.

The black-faced man's action had not yet ended. He retreated several feet again and flicked lightly with his index finger.

A beam of blazing white fire burst out from the fingertips and swept towards the blue ice.

However, the moment the real fire came into contact with the blue ice, the same brilliance flashed and then disappeared without a trace, as if it was sucked into it.

Wang Tiangu couldn't help but gasp!
"This blue ice is so toxic that it seems that Fellow Daoist You's body has already died and no longer needs to be protected. The only way now is to let Fellow Daoist You's Nascent Soul leave his body, and then find a suitable body to possess after it returns. Fellow Daoist You has never tried to possess another body before!"

The old man surnamed Yun sighed and suddenly asked.

"Indeed, this body is exactly his original body."

The black-faced man seemed to be quite familiar with the monk named You, and answered in a heavy tone.

"That's great. Next, you can let Brother You leave your Nascent Soul body on your own."

The old man surnamed Yun nodded slightly.

However, the monk surnamed You in the blue ice seemed to have heard these words, and his whole body suddenly burst into dazzling white light. Then, with a muffled "bang" sound, his body turned into dust and disappeared without a trace.

In the crystal clear blue ice, there was only a Nascent Soul of a cultivator named You, which was only an inch tall. In his hands, he tightly grasped a thumb-sized jade pendant, and his young face was filled with regret and resentment.

It opened its little mouth and spewed out a ball of fiery red Yuan Yang infant fire onto the jade pendant in its hand, then raised the jade pendant high above its head.

In an instant, red and white flames as high as a foot emerged from his body, and then he rushed forward without hesitation, trying to break through the ice and regain his freedom.

"Wait a minute!" The old man surnamed Yun seemed to realize something and quickly spoke out to stop them.

However, it was too late now, the Nascent Soul of the cultivator named You had already hit the blue ice heavily.

The shocking sight shocked the whole audience and made the monks feel cold in their hearts.

The originally majestic red and white flames seemed to be ignited as soon as they touched the ice wall, triggering a chain reaction.

In an instant, the entire ice wall was burning with flames, turning into a blue-purple flame that swallowed up the red and white flames and the Nascent Soul.

The red and white flames quickly turned into strange blue flames. The Nascent Soul screamed in pain and rushed madly into the sky with the blue flames. However, it only flew a few dozen feet before it writhed and struggled in the flames. (End of this chapter)
