Chapter 152: Luffy Escapes
Half an hour later, a sea monster in the form of a spirit came to the carp dragon's corpse. It examined it carefully with trembling hands, then picked up the conch magic tool and reported everything it had seen and the results of the inspection.
A quarter of an hour later, the conch vibrated, spiritual power was input into the conch, and an old voice came from the conch.
"Bring him back!"
The sea monster flew away at high speed holding the carp dragon's corpse. In just a few breaths, it disappeared.
It has been three months since Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying came to Jilong Fairy City. They went from being frightened at first to gradually calming down.
The mayor of Jilong Immortal City was a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator. Upon arriving in the city, Liang Ruyan immediately reported the blockade formation they had encountered. However, the mayor ignored them, only giving a perfunctory response.
The message Liang Ruyan sent fell on deaf ears and received no response, while Shi Chen was in a coma and was in a state of deep recovery.
We can only rely on the two of them to find out the latest battle situation. If the situation is not good, we will follow Shi Chen's instructions and escape from Dayu Continent.
Three months is not a short time, but there is still no news. The two have agreed that if there is still no news about the battle situation on the front line after ten days, they will leave Jilong Fairy City and continue to move westward to the west coast of Dayu Continent, looking for an opportunity to leave and go to Yuanling Continent.
After waiting for five days, Xu Qianying received a message from Huang Qi.
The Siren Clan conquered many second-line immortal cities a month ago.
Two immortal cities put up a stubborn resistance, while the other immortal cities offered a symbolic resistance before beginning to evacuate.
After receiving Shi Chen's message and knowing the Sirens' plan, Yuehe Immortal City and another second-line Immortal City under the control of Qingming Immortal Sect chose to believe Shi Chen's news and stubbornly resisted the Sirens' siege.
Other immortal cities suffered heavy losses during the evacuation, and many human combined monks were sniped and killed by the Siren clan.
After such a huge victory, the Sirens began to negotiate with the human race again.
The Sirens suspended their war against humans half a month ago, with only one request: to hand over the murderer who killed Lilong, a member of the Sirens royal family, within three months. If he is not handed over to the Sirens, the Sirens will flatten the Dayu Continent and kill all the humans on the Continent.
After discussing with Liang Ruyan, Xu Qianying replied to Huang Qi.
It is said that Shi Chen was seriously injured when trying to break the formation, and now he can only retreat and return to Yuanling Continent if possible.
After replying to the message, the two of them immediately took Shi Chen and hurriedly left Jilong Fairy City.
When they received the news, the Lord of Jilong Immortal City also received the news. It was an order issued by the human race combined monks who were besieged by the sea monsters, requiring the major immortal cities in Dongzhizhou to block the immortal cities and find the murderer who killed the members of the sea monster royal family.
The Lord of Jilong Fairy City was dismissive of this. He waited until his deputy lord came to report the situation before he activated the fairy city formation and sealed off the city.
Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying had already left with the unconscious Shi Chen. They took turns driving the flying boat all the way. In Dongzhizhou, no matter whether it was the fairy city or the market town, they all circled around and headed west.
When they reached the border of Bingzhou, they found that the nearest immortal city was also blocked, so they had to continue westward.
It was not until three months later, when they flew to the center of Bingzhou, that the Immortal City was no longer blocked. The two did not dare to enter the Immortal City and took a detour all the way.
It took four months to travel, fly out of the western border of Bingzhou, and reach the border of Laizhou.
In Laizhou, Liang Ruyan entered the market and sold some low-grade elixirs, obtaining more than 40,000 low-grade spirit stones, which were enough for the three of them to take a large cross-sea flying boat to Yuanling Continent.
When passing through Laizhou Prefecture, Liang Ruyan once considered entering the Immortal City and reaching Bailang Immortal City through the teleportation array, but she finally gave up the idea because she was worried that entering the Immortal City would leave traces. Now the three of them should be wanted by Dongzhizhou, and it would be best not to expose their whereabouts.
Teleporting from Laizhou City to Bailang Fairy City can save more than three months of travel time, which is why Liang Ruyan considered entering the city.
When they were about to reach Bailang Fairy City, Shi Chen woke up.
The first thing he did was to look inside himself to see his injuries, and he discovered that his body was severely damaged, with his muscles, tendons, bones, and internal organs all suffering varying degrees of damage.
The most serious injury was to the sea of consciousness. In the final fight between Shi Chen and Li Long, the God-Forging Hammer destroyed Li Long's protective ornaments. Shi Chen used the second secret hammer of divine consciousness to smash Li Long's sea of consciousness, but was hit by the protective divine light in his body, piercing through his sea of consciousness. A death mark was also attached to his sea of consciousness. Without the corresponding secret divine consciousness method, the owner of the mark could know his location at any time.
After the battle, Shi Chen hurriedly gave a few instructions, then closed his senses and sealed himself.
A pierced sea of consciousness is not easy to repair, and the attached marks are even more difficult to repair.
Before closing his senses, Shi Chen swallowed half a bottle of healing pills to preserve his body. Then he entered his sea of consciousness, closed it, and his body became like a coma.
In his sea of consciousness, Shi Chen seemed to have fought for thousands of years against the attached spiritual mark. This spiritual mark was like poison in the tarsal bone, difficult to remove.
After many attempts, he realized that this was a spiritual mark that surpassed that of a fusion cultivator. With Shi Chen's current spiritual strength, he could not think of any way to remove it. In addition, with his damaged sea of consciousness, it was even more difficult to remove this spiritual mark.
The simplest way is to use your own spiritual consciousness to slowly wear away the attached spiritual consciousness marks bit by bit, but it will take a very long time to wear away the spiritual consciousness.
The difference in spiritual consciousness strength is two major levels, which is difficult to cross.
Shi Chen finally recovered after a year and a half of repairing his sea of consciousness, but the effect of erasing the mark of spiritual consciousness was minimal, and only one layer was erased.
After the sea of consciousness was repaired, Shi Chen set up a spiritual consciousness sealing array in the sea of consciousness to seal it up. This would block the detection of the attached spiritual consciousness mark, and he would be unable to use his spiritual consciousness.
This is the best solution at the moment. He wants to escape from Dayu Continent with his two Taoist companions.
According to Shi Chen's understanding, the highest level of cultivation among the cultivators in this world is the perfect fusion, and there has never been any record of the existence of cultivators who have surpassed the fusion level.
Being targeted by a cultivator whose spiritual power is stronger than that of a cultivator in the combined state, once he is tracked down, there is no chance of survival.
After waking up, he found himself in the cabin of a flying boat. Shi Chen stopped the boat and said to the two women, "The sea monster behind the carp dragon has attached a spiritual mark to my sea of consciousness, which has not been removed so far. I can only seal my sea of consciousness and block the spiritual mark. As long as I unseal my sea of consciousness, it will sense my location. Therefore, I cannot use my spiritual sense now, and my injuries have not yet recovered. I can only rely on you two for many things from now on. Where are we now?"
"Husband, it's still five days' journey to Bailang Fairy City. We plan to take a cross-sea flying boat to leave Dayu Continent. What should we do now to help you?" Xu Qianying asked with concern.
"Let's find a secluded place. I'll set up a formation. Madam, please change your posture and go to Bailang Fairy City to find out some information. Qianying and I will recover from our injuries there and wait for you to come back." Shi Chen said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, I'll steer the flying boat. You go back to the cabin first, my husband," said Liang Ruyan.
