27: Deep inside, the Demon Sect’s arsenal.

Old Daoist Xuan Wang gave the order: "Everyone, snap to it!"

"Although the cold wind from Cold Crack Valley comes and goes quickly, if we use this gust, we can pinpoint the Rebellious Disciple's location."

Hearing Old Daoist Xuan Wang's words, all the Disciples made hand seals and prepared themselves.

As this cold Qi blew into Broken Sword Valley, the mist in front of them gradually thinned.

Although the mist hadn't completely dispersed, they could instantly see the situation before them.

"Rebellious Disciple, there!"

Old Daoist Xuanwang pointed his sword at Li Yan; they saw two shadows flash through the thinning mist.

Though they were shadows, the Old Devil was certain that it was the Rebellious Disciple Li Yan!

Without hesitation, Old Daoist Xuanwang waved his hand, and dozens of bone swords flew out from the sword box on his back.

Li Yan, hiding in the mist, heard the buzzing of Flying Swords behind him and felt a great sense of unease.

He had unexpectedly encountered a cold current at this moment, which had dispersed some of the mist within Broken Sword Valley.

Seeing the Flying Swords thrusting towards Li Yan, the Corpse Puppet beside him activated its instinct to protect its master.

Su Mo pushed Li Yan away, taking the Flying Swords head-on with her Physical Body!

Several Flying Swords struck her body, yet they were forcefully bounced away!

Besides tearing Su Mo's robes, the Flying Swords only left a few white scratches on her skin.

The strength of a Blood Core Realm Physical Body was something Old Daoist Xuanwang could never break through.

Seeing Su Mo unharmed, Li Yan didn't dare to linger in battle and continued to flee deeper into Broken Sword Valley.

After all, Su Mo could block Flying Swords from one direction, but she couldn't stop attacks from all sides.

If they were surrounded by Old Daoist Xuanwang and his group, Li Yan's current situation would be extremely dire.

As he sprinted, Li Yan's mind raced, thinking of everything.

Seeing Old Daoist Xuanwang and his party about to catch up, Li Yan waved his hand.

"Go!"

As he activated the Blood Shadow Art, the shadow beneath his feet stretched out.

"Since they like to chase, then detonate the ancient Formation here for me!"

At this moment, the advantages of the Blood Shadow Art were fully revealed.

Li Yan focused on escaping, while his shadow had already stayed behind to cover his retreat.

The shadow triggered the ancient Formation beneath the pile of corpses, and with a series of violent explosions, it blocked Old Daoist Xuanwang and his group.

"This kid..."

"He's actually so familiar with the traps here?"

After being blasted several times, Old Daoist Xuanwang didn't dare to pursue further.

He was afraid that Li Yan's shadow would trigger more strange traps.

Meanwhile, Li Yan took the opportunity to enter the depths of Broken Sword Valley, disappearing into the dense fog.

Being chased to this point, Li Yan actually didn't want to go deeper.

His Minds Eye had probed this place, and the depths of Broken Sword Valley were more dangerous and had denser traps than the outer areas.

It was fine to send a shadow here to gather some Heaven And Earth Treasure, but going deep into this place alone was not a wise move.

But there was truly no other option.

The mist was blown by the cold wind into the depths of the valley, and he had no choice but to hide within the mist.

Only after standing in a safe place did he begin to carefully survey his surroundings.

"The cold wind from Cold Crack Valley is truly cold enough. It shouldn't be ordinary wind; ordinary wind Spells can't blow away this mist."

Li Yan had tried before; ordinary wind Spells were ineffective against the mist.

It seemed that only the cold wind from Cold Crack Valley could disperse this Restriction mist.

However, now he was blocked deep within Broken Sword Valley, and Old Ghost Xuanwang was searching for his tracks not far away.

He heard the Old Devil cursing with a laugh.

"Rebellious Disciple! Keep hiding inside!"

"Do you know that in the depths of Broken Sword Valley, there is Yin Plague Qi!"

"Let's see where you hide now!"

Yin Plague Qi?

So, the dark purple mist gathered in the depths of Broken Sword Valley was plague Qi.

Li Yan had not dared to enter rashly before, fearing some danger.

Now, Old Daoist Xuanwang and others, from outside the mist, were manipulating Flying Swords to attack into the mist, trying to force Li Yan out.

"Yin Plague Qi... What if I can be immune to this plague Qi, just like I'm immune to the Restriction mist?"

A bold idea emerged in Li Yan's mind.

Seeing that he was already cornered at the edge of the mist, Li Yan tried extending a finger into the plague Qi.

[Detected host has come into contact with extremely concentrated Yin Plague Qi!]

[Side effect reversed, host begins to absorb Yin Plague Qi, converting it into Yang Si Power.]

Hmm!?

It's feasible!

Without hesitation, Li Yan plunged directly into the poisonous mist and plague Qi.

In an instant, his entire body was immersed in this Yin Plague Qi.

This plague Qi seemed to want to drag Li Yan into a bottomless abyss, wanting to corrode Li Yan's Physical Body and Soul.

But with the side effect reversal System activated, this Yin Plague Qi instead became a tonic!

Not only was Li Yan absorbing this plague Qi, but the Corpse Puppet Su Mo beside him was also absorbing it in large gulps.

The Corpse Puppet even giggled and said, "Sweet."

For Li Yan, the side effect reversal was a great tonic.

For Su Mo, who was between life and death, Yin Plague Qi was also a great tonic.

The plague Qi that others avoided like the plague felt as comfortable as home to the one person and one Corpse.

And the pursuing Old Ghost Xuanwang, seeing Li Yan disappear into the dark purple plague Qi, couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"Idiot!"

"This kid is desperate, running into the plague Qi."

Old Daoist Xuanwang gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Li Yan into ten thousand pieces.

Xuan Sha gently patted his shoulder: "Junior Brother, any further ahead is the Broken Sword Valley Forbidden Ground."

"If they escape in there, they basically won't live long."

Old Ghost Xuanwang sighed: "What a pity, to let the cooked duck fly away."

Xuan Sha urged: "Junior Brother, the mist will soon reform, let's turn back while we can still see the path."

"There are other treasures waiting for us to pick up in Broken Sword Valley; there's no need to risk going deeper."

The cold wind from Cold Crack Valley slowly weakened, and the surrounding mist gradually grew denser.

Old Ghost Xuanwang, who dared not go deep into the plague Qi, could only lead his Disciples back the way they came.

Little did they know...

Li Yan and Corpse Puppet Su Mo moved freely within this plague Qi, feeling as comfortable as a spring breeze.

Walking in this poisonous plague land, Li Yan felt as comfortable as if he had returned home.

Moreover, using his Minds Eye, he saw that Old Daoist Xuanwang and others dared not pursue due to the concentration of the poisonous mist.

"This place is too suitable for me to Cultivate!"

"Outsiders can't enter, and there's dense Yin Plague Qi; it's simply a geomantic treasure land."

Li Yan looked around the environment and found that it was not as harsh as he had imagined.

On the contrary, there were large quantities of sinister medicinal herbs here; herbs difficult to find outside were available here as if they were free.

"If I were to settle down here, I truly wouldn't be disturbed by outsiders; excellent, excellent!"

Li Yan rarely showed a slight smile, and Su Mo, who was by his side, had eyes only for him.

Seeing her master happy, Corpse Puppet Su Mo also smiled innocently.

"Like, here."

Her speech was unclear, as she struggled to utter these four words.

And Li Yan, through his Minds Eye, confirmed that Old Daoist Xuanwang and his group dared not step into the Broken Sword Valley Forbidden Ground.

He then began to search for a suitable place to Cultivate, preparing to once again refine and absorb this Yin Plague Qi.

This place appeared to be the Forbidden Ground in the depths of Broken Sword Valley.

There were many ruined walls and some preserved stone buildings here.

"Hmm?"

Li Yan's gaze was quickly drawn to one of the buildings.

"Sect Armory?"

"This... Could it be the armory of the Demonic Sect Holy Land?"
