320: Chuanggu

In truth, the three were not stupid. Anyone who dared to appear in this dense forest to intercept them was either extremely ignorant or extremely powerful. On the surface, the three were faking smiles, but in reality, they had already realized the situation was a bit dire. After all, the moment this person appeared, the vines behind them automatically vanished, which was inherently a highly suspicious matter. To survive, the three attacked with their full strength this time!

Long Yuan shifted his feet, his figure weaving between the three, dodging their full-force strikes. "Swish," "swish," "swish," sword light flashed, and his long sword had already tapped onto the joints of their limbs. The effect was similar to using an Armor-Piercing Spear, immediately rendering their limbs immobile and causing them to fall to the ground!

The three never dreamed that after just one exchange, their combat effectiveness would be dismantled by the opponent; it was simply unbelievable!

They desperately tried to crawl up, only to find that their mechs were completely unresponsive. They then tried to use the mechs' flight capabilities to take off and fight, but while they did manage to fly, it was crooked and wobbly. They could not control their flight posture in the air, nor could they grasp the direction. After a while, they crashed into large trees one after another and fell down!

Long Yuan swept his Divine Sense, pulling all three mechs in front of him, and immediately initiated an intrusion unlock. Before long, the three mechs opened automatically. The three people inside stared at Long Yuan with faces full of shock, unable to even speak...

The three had long been controlled by Long Yuan's Soul Net, watching helplessly as Long Yuan took away all three sets of mechs out of thin air. He then looked at them and said: "You all go inside too. If you behave well, I won't kill you, but if you dare to cause trouble, I will let you become fertilizer for the space!"

After speaking, he swept all three into the space. The three had decent strength themselves, all possessing the cultivation of the Late Stage of a Martial General. Long Yuan was not a bloodthirsty person, so he gave them a chance to do hard labor in the space. If they were good, he would take them as subordinates; if not, they would become fertilizer. Either way, he wouldn't lose out.

"Eh? Escaped this far already?" Long Yuan sensed the location of Yokota Ichiro and discovered that he had shaken off the entanglement of the Wood Vine Demon and had fled far out of this dense forest.

"This direction... it wouldn't be Falling Flower Valley, would it?" Long Yuan suddenly realized this point. He spread out his Divine Sense; with his current ability, his Divine Sense range had reached hundreds of miles, so he could easily see that the direction Yokota Ichiro was fleeing in was indeed Falling Flower Valley!

This was quite a coincidence. Long Yuan knew that Liu Rushi was cultivating there. With Liu Rushi's strength, could she block Yokota Ichiro?

He shook his head. Now, Yokota Ichiro's strength was greatly reduced, and he had even lost his sword; it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to gain any advantage in front of Liu Rushi. Thus, he walked into the Wood Vine Demon Forest and shouted: "I don't care about the others, just release those three women and that Human Race person you captured last!"

After a while, he heard several "swish," "swish," "swish," "swish" sounds. Four huge balls of vines were gently placed in front of Long Yuan from the air, then automatically unraveled, revealing the people inside. They were none other than Xi Ying, Yu Rong, Er Xi, and Feng Guang!

The four were currently covered in blood, especially the three women. Due to being captured for a long time, half of their blood had been absorbed, and they all looked listless and weak...

But after suddenly seeing the light of day again, surprise and joy appeared on their faces. However, they realized they did not recognize the person in front of them. What was going on?

Without waiting for the four to ask questions, Long Yuan directly swept them into the space prison, then turned and walked unhurriedly toward the direction of Falling Flower Valley...

Shanyang County, Falling Flower Valley, beside the lotus pond.

Around it were many small stone platforms built by hand. On each platform, a young person was cultivating a breathing Cultivation Technique. These people were all clansmen carefully selected by the Tong Family, including Tong Xueqin and Tong Xuejian.

The two were positioned next to each other, both cultivating attentively at this moment. Especially Tong Xuejian; because he possessed a Spiritual Root, cultivating here made him feel incomparably comfortable. Recently, he felt that the Exotic Energy within his body was constantly increasing.

Tong Xueqin, however, did not feel much, because she did not have a Spiritual Root and had no Exotic Energy in her body. Therefore, this kind of cultivation only made her feel bored and dull. But there was no help for it; this was a task given by the Family, and she herself harbored a fluke mentality—what if she could also awaken Exotic Energy? Therefore, she gritted her teeth and persisted...

Her gaze looked enviously toward the center of the lake, where there was a high platform. On the high platform, a graceful figure was sitting cross-legged and cultivating. This person was none other than Liu Rushi!

Situated in the central area of the Immortal Lotus, the Spiritual Qi there was incomparably dense. Liu Rushi was greedily inhaling and exhaling the Spiritual Qi. During this period, she felt that she was improving every day, and the speed was simply wonderful!

"Long Yuan, you just wait for me. When my cultivation level increases, I will definitely torture you thoroughly..." Liu Rushi thought to herself. Thinking of the scene of torturing Long Yuan, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she was overjoyed...

Suddenly, a cry of alarm came: "It's bad! Someone has broken into the valley! Someone has broken into the valley!!!"

Everyone by the lotus pond stood up in shock and looked toward the entrance of the valley, only to see many clansmen running over, and behind them, a tall figure was striding over!

"Stop!!!" Tong Jing Xin, Valley Master, rushed over upon hearing the news and blocked Yokota Ichiro.

Yokota Ichiro didn't pay him any heed at all and continued to barge in. After entering the valley, he was attracted by the dense Spiritual Qi here and involuntarily walked toward the lotus pond. He was certain that there must be some treasure here; otherwise, it would be impossible for the Exotic Energy in his body to be in such a state of agitation.

Tong Jing Xin, Valley Master, was furious upon seeing this and immediately drew his long sword to slash at him!

Yokota Ichiro merely extended a finger and flicked it gently; the long sword immediately flew out of his hand and shot up into the sky...

"Ah—" Tong Jing Xin, Valley Master, let out a miserable cry, his whole body flying into the lotus pond, and he sank straight down!

"Father!" Tong Xuejian shouted and jumped into the pond without hesitation to save him...

At this moment, several figures rushed out from different directions and surrounded Yokota Ichiro. They were people from the Kunlun Sect who had come here to help guard the place, and each of them had a cultivation level of at least a Martial General!

Yokota Ichiro's eyes had already seen the high platform in the center of the lotus pond. He knew that the treasure must be there, and he was even more impatient. Seeing the four people surround him, he immediately attacked, his hand-blade carrying a strong wind as he slashed wildly at the four!

The four met the attack with their four swords. "Clang," "clang," "clang," "clang," the four were shaken back a dozen steps by the immense force of the hand-blade, and finally, they spat out a large mouthful of blood, their faces all turning incomparably pale!

They looked at Yokota Ichiro in extreme shock, wondering where this person had popped out from. He was actually able to fight four against one and even injure the four of them. One had to know that these four were elite Disciples of the Kunlun Sect, and each of their Aptitude was incomparably excellent. Since they started their journey, they had never suffered such a great loss!
