Li Fan's divine sense wandered through this colorful model, making it feel as if he were personally touring the ancient Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.
But...
Apart from this, it seemed like the "Cloud Water Map" had no other special purpose.
"This 'Cloud Water Map,' perhaps it would be more fitting to call it the 'Cloud Water Model.'"
"Or perhaps, does it hide some other secrets inside? Otherwise, why would someone offer a reward of one hundred thousand contribution points?"
Li Fan suddenly had many doubts.
However, this wasn't the time to delve deeply into them.
He stored the colorful model in his storage ring and then politely bowed to the turtle-snake creature. "Divine Ancestor Taiyi, please escort me out of here. I still have to find my Junior Brother Baili Chen."After a moment, Taiyi's aged voice sounded, "Yes, leaving is good. Leaving is good..."
It was the same reaction as when he sent Baili Chen away earlier.
A blue light enveloped Li Fan, and then his figure disappeared.
In front of Taiyi's palace, silence reigned once again for a long time.
After some unknown duration, a strange noise shattered the tranquility.
"Zzz..."
"Zzz..."
"Zzz..."
It was like the sound of a sword constantly grinding against a whetstone, and also like a giant serpent shedding its old skin.
Each time this sound occurred, countless sword shadows appeared from the void and impaled the turtle-snake creature.
"Boom!"
The Taiyi Hall suddenly sank, and the turtle-snake creature's limbs were forcibly retracted.
The two black serpents on its head and tail let out painful howls as they writhed and returned to the Taiyi Hall.
"Pain..."
"Pain..."
Taiyi's aged and mad voice thundered across the entire Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.
Buildings shrouded in white mist seemed to respond with various horrifying sounds, continuously echoing.
The virtual sword shadows intensified like a torrential rain.
"Roar!"
Finally, the figure of the turtle-snake creature vanished.
Only an empty Taiyi Hall remained, along with the increasingly vast sword forest, silently witnessing Taiyi's eternal suffering.
In the Cong Yun Sea.
Li Fan's vision blurred, and he felt like he had returned to the azure ocean.
However, he had already left the central area of the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace ruins.
Sensing the positions of Sikong Yi and Baili Chen, Li Fan activated the Stalking Shadow Technique, following closely behind them.
At the same time, the previously dormant Formless Killing Intent was suddenly activated.
Sikong Yi and Baili Chen immediately encountered resistance, causing their speed to greatly decrease.
Meanwhile, Li Fan's speed continued to increase.
The distance grew closer and closer, and in no time, their figures became faintly visible.
"What exactly are you? I've already given you the 'Cloud Water Map,' so why are you still hounding us?" Sikong Yi's angry voice sounded.
Li Fan didn't reply, only accelerating his speed.
"You're truly pushing it!" Seeing the situation, Sikong Yi actually gave up on running and turned to confront Li Fan.
Golden sword qi appeared one after another around him, winding like a dragon.
With a point from Sikong Yi, under the activation of the sword qi, they surged towards Li Fan like a multitude of flying dragons.
As for Baili Chen, he had somehow used a secret technique, and his speed suddenly increased several times, attempting to flee towards a distant island.
"Are you trying to use the same trick as before? Are you planning to use the island's teleportation array to return to Ten Thousand Immortals Island?"
"Not a bad idea."
"It's a pity I was prepared for this."
Li Fan watched them closely, his eyes shining with an inexplicable light.
Ever since he had learned that Sikong Yi and Baili Chen often acted together from Jiao Xiuyuan, Li Fan had specifically purchased some targeted magical tools in the Heavenly Profound Realm to better deal with them.
For example...
A shield surrounded by flames appeared in front of him, blocking all of Sikong Yi's golden sword qi.
Redflame Shield, 350 contribution points.
