Chapter 48: Kidnapping

"Don't look left or right, you only have five breaths!"

At this moment, Immortal Tongxu's voice suddenly came from above, like a rolling thunder, startling Fang Pan.

He quickly composed himself and looked around, seeing nothing but endless mountains and rivers.

But then, as if sensing something, he suddenly lowered his head and saw a faint golden bloodline in the water below his feet, extending downwards.

Fang Pan stared intently and found a vague cyan figure appearing beneath the water, sometimes near, sometimes far, seemingly real and seemingly illusory. He tried hard to see it clearly, but couldn't.

Just as he was about to bend down and dive into the water to investigate, the bloodline under his feet suddenly blurred and dissipated, disappearing without a trace.

He was slightly stunned, and before he could think further, the surrounding scenery spun and became distorted.

When he came back to his senses, he found himself still standing beside the bronze vat, bending over and holding the rim of the vat with both hands.

He looked down and saw that the liquid inside the vat was still as black as ink. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.

"Speak, what did you see?" The long-bearded old man's faint voice came.

"Junior is ashamed, it seems I didn't see anything clearly... I only felt that the person's figure was sometimes near, sometimes far, quite blurred, and not clear at all." The black-clothed youth shook his head, truthfully recounting what he had observed.

"Those who are involved are often confused. The reason why the Heavenly Secret Vat presents such a situation is mostly because the owner of the essence blood is not currently in the Northern Cold Immortal Domain, but is in some hidden secret realm of the Immortal Domain, or... in some lower small world directly subordinate to the Immortal Domain." Immortal Tongxu pondered for a moment and said.

"Can the Immortal Elder further confirm which secret realm that person is in, or which lower world?" Fang Pan couldn't help but ask.

"Preposterous! Do you think this vast Immortal World is like those insignificant small worlds, without any markings? Can you easily find someone with just a drop of essence blood?" Immortal Tongxu snorted coldly, somewhat displeased.

Seeing this, Fang Pan quickly cupped his hands and said, "It was impudent of this junior, please forgive me, Immortal Elder."

A moment later, outside the verdant mountain peak.

Fang Pan stood in mid-air with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold and his expression uncertain.

"Humph! Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will tear you to pieces!"

Saying that, he reached out and stroked his waist, took out a communication array plate, murmured a few secret incantations, and pointed at his brow with one hand, then pulled outwards, and a light curtain floated in his palm.

The light curtain reflected a tall youth in a green robe with ordinary features.

With a wave of Fang Pan's hand, the light curtain blurred and shrank, flying into the communication plate and disappearing.

...

A few days later.

A deep mountain canyon in the northwest of Feng Country, the valley is filled with thick mountain fog, rolling endlessly.

Rumbling explosions and the sounds of magical artifacts colliding came from the thick fog from time to time.

Suddenly, with a thunderous roar, the fog burst open, and then a green escape light shot out from within.

In the escape light was a green-shirted girl, surrounded by three radiant cyan jade tablets, flying around her body, stepping on a green jade shuttle.

The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, a beautiful appearance, and was none other than Liu Le'er.

Before she could fly far, the dense fog in the valley rolled violently, and five escape lights shot out from within, chasing after her.

The escape lights were quite imposing, all of them were Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Although Liu Le'er tried her best to urge the flying shuttle under her feet, her escape speed was still a few points slower than the few people behind her.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the distance between the two sides was less than thirty feet!

"Who exactly are you people? Why are you chasing me so relentlessly?" Liu Le'er cast a spell with her hand, and immediately stopped the escape light, shouting towards the rear.

The first black escape light paused, revealing a burly man with a beard. He glanced at the flying shuttle under the girl's feet, and greedily chuckled without concealing his eyes:

"Hehe, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. If you know what's good for you, surrender obediently and you can avoid some pain."

The other four escape lights also split into two, drawing two arcs, and surrounded Liu Le'er from the left and right sides.

The escape lights converged, revealing four figures, a red-faced old man, a purple-robed young woman, and two black-clothed youths, whose appearances were exactly the same, seemingly twins.

"So many people bullying the few, do you think my Cold Flame Sect disciples are easy to bully?" Liu Le'er glanced coldly at the few people and said.

"A small Core Formation cultivator, your tone is quite big. First, taste the old man's power!" The red-faced old man shouted, and his sleeves shook violently.

A red light flashed, and a red ring shot out of his hand, turning into layers of red shadows and rolling towards Liu Le'er.

Except for the burly man with a beard, the other three also took out a treasure each, and with a spell cast, they turned into three different colored spell attacks, attacking from the other three directions.

Liu Le'er's pretty face froze slightly, but she was prepared. She waved her hands lightly, and as she chanted, the three cyan jade tablets surrounding her body suddenly enlarged several times, transforming into layers of tablet shadows, covering her figure in the middle.

With a "rumbling" sound, four dazzling light clusters appeared!

The cyan tablet shadows flashed wildly, making dense cracking sounds, and the spiritual light on the surface dimmed for the most part, but it barely resisted the four people's attacks.

This surprised the five people, including the burly man with a beard.

"This place is not suitable for long stays, we must fight quickly and make a decision, and be careful not to hurt this woman's life."

The burly man with a beard ordered in a deep voice, and then raised one hand. The object in his hand left his hand, turned around, and turned into a black giant brick more than ten feet in size, and also joined the battle.

With the five Nascent Soul stage cultivators joining forces, the offensive became even fiercer, and the spiritual light on the surface of the cyan tablet shadows quickly dimmed.

As a result, just before the tablet shadows collapsed, Liu Le'er calmly raised one hand and sacrificed a white silk treasure surrounded by spiritual light. The grade seemed to be no lower than the previous cyan jade tablet.

The white silk only circled lightly above the woman's head, and with a flash of spiritual light, layers of pure white rays of light appeared, and circles of white ripples rippled around, covering the woman's figure again, becoming faintly visible.

The five people, including the burly man with a beard, were both shocked and angry. They obviously didn't expect a Core Formation cultivator to have so many high-grade treasures on her body.

However, the few people were obviously not the first time to join forces, and they unanimously increased the intensity of the magic power injected into their respective treasures!

Booming sounds rose everywhere!

The white rays of light trembled violently, but for a while, there were no signs of breaking.

Liu Le'er, surrounded by the white rays of light, hurriedly took a pill, and her hands quickly made gestures non-stop, but her small face was tense, and she was extremely nervous in her heart.

This was the first time she had faced several enemies whose cultivation was far higher than hers alone. After all, the reason why she was able to kill Jia Ren, who was at the Transformation God stage, was because of the Spirit Flame Firebird sealed in her body by Han Li using special means. If she had not taken a Spirit Extraction Pill in advance to temporarily increase her magic power to completely stimulate the power of this bird, it would have been impossible to achieve a one-hit kill.

The reason why she can hold on until now is also because of these magic weapons and elixirs given by Han Li before he left in case of emergency. Even so, her situation is getting more and more dangerous.

"No, I can't have an accident! I promised my brother to protect myself!"

The girl bit her shell teeth tightly, her eyes flickered slightly on her pale face, and she suddenly raised her left arm and made a spell with her hand.

A mysterious silver magic circle on her left arm suddenly lit up.

With a clear cry, a silver firebird, smaller than before, shot out from it, and with a flap of its wings, it immediately flashed out of the white rays of light and flew to one side.

"Puff, puff" two sounds rang out almost simultaneously!

"Ah, this... what is this!"

"No..."

In the terrified screams of the two black-robed youths, the silver flames instantly enveloped them.

This scene happened so suddenly that the other three people, including the burly man with a beard, had not reacted at all, and the two black-robed youths turned into a cloud of smoke under their eyes, and even their Nascent Souls had no time to escape, and completely disappeared from the world.

Just for this moment of delay, the red-faced old man was also swallowed by the silver flames in a flash of silver light. The protective spiritual light was useless, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream.

The burly man with a beard and the purple-robed young woman, who had finally reacted, were already terrified. Without saying a word, they turned around and fled in different directions.

Among them, the former's cultivation was a few points higher than the latter's, and his speed was naturally faster.

The silver firebird did not give the two a chance at all. With a flash of lightning, it turned into a blurry silver light and chased after them. In the blink of an eye, it crossed hundreds of feet and pierced through the purple-robed young woman's back, turning her into a fireball and falling straight down.

"Master, save..."

Not long after, accompanied by an abrupt and shrill scream, the burly man with a beard was engulfed in the silver flames and fell silent.

The silver light circled in the distance and shot back, flashing into the girl's arm and disappearing without a trace.

Liu Le'er felt relieved, but her face was already as pale as paper, and she swayed a few times, becoming a little unsteady.

After hurriedly taking a pill, the color on her face recovered a bit.

At this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

The void above her head fluctuated, and then a black devil claw appeared out of thin air, grabbing down fiercely.

Before it really fell, the void below rippled with invisible fluctuations, and an invisible spiritual pressure directly pressed down on the girl.

Chila!

The protective white silk rays of light were already a little unstable, and under this spiritual pressure, they finally collapsed!

The girl was shocked and hurriedly wanted to lift her spiritual power and use her escape technique to escape.

But in the next moment, she only felt a tightness all over her body. Not to mention making gestures, she couldn't even move a finger. She could only watch as strands of black light flew out from the palm of the devil claw, condensing into a black net, binding her body.

The black devil claw flashed and disappeared into the void. Then, in the mid-air not far away, a black-robed old man appeared silently, with white hair and a black beard, and a thin figure.
