He only needed to stall two enemies and wait for his companions to arrive. These two foreign intruders wouldn't be leaving this island.
Moreover, that Dragon brother who was also in the Demon Spring was not far from him at the moment. It wouldn't be long before he arrived.
This was the benefit of having companions, the blood-haired man thought. He wasn't some reckless fool who would desperately fight two enemies.
While thinking, his hands didn't stop. He activated his magic, releasing another large patch of black-red flames, intending to trap the two enemies in the demonic fire.
However, he then noticed that something seemed wrong. His eyes swept over the two figures in the flames, only to see that the two figures were becoming faint, and disappeared directly in a breath.
How was this possible?
Illusion... or clone?
The blood-haired man was stunned, his face stiffening. He immediately realized something and quickly spread out all his divine sense power.
After a few breaths, his face darkened and he shouted, "Don't even think about leaving!" His figure turned into a streak of blood and rushed back up towards the gap in the rock wall, quickly chasing after them.
This hole was broken open by the Demon Sealing Disk just now, and it was straight up and down.
Although the saber light released earlier had also damaged it a bit, it only knocked down some of the nearby soil and rocks. This gap was still intact, just like a passage.
His divine sense now observed that there was a force of earth spirit energy rapidly moving in the passage. The blood-haired man naturally realized what was happening.
Obviously, the enemy used earth escape techniques or other terrain techniques, wanting to deceive everyone.
Zhang Ling was indeed using earth escape techniques at the moment, taking the Mysterious Turtle through the earth and rocks. He wasn't a fool, fighting a Nascent Soul stage monster in this Demon Spring.
Even if he and the Mysterious Turtle joined forces and weren't afraid of this person, the blood-haired man still had several Nascent Soul companions. Who knew if this guy's companions were also in the Demon Spring right now.
If he was entangled and his companions arrived, then it would really be impossible to escape.
"Hehe, I knew it would be difficult to avoid the divine sense of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator with this method, what are you going to do?" Lan Que's mocking voice came from Zhang Ling's ear.
"Senior, it's better not to make sarcastic remarks. If we are held back by this person and other Nascent Soul monsters arrive, including one at the mid-stage, I don't have the strength to deal with so many cultivators. Senior, I'm afraid you won't have a good time either," Zhang Ling's mood was extremely depressed, and he snorted unceremoniously.
Hearing the blood-haired man's roar, he flashed out of the earth and rocks, appearing in the tunnel where the blood-haired man had just come down.
He saw the Mysterious Turtle suddenly clap its hands, releasing its demon power, and launching two dark, icy spiritual lights. Immediately, the entire tunnel was filled with cold air, quickly condensing into a black ice crystal, sealing the entire tunnel.
At the same time, while he was flying away, he quickly waved his hands, condensing yellow runes, and hitting them all into the soil and rocks on both sides.
This caused the entire tunnel to shake violently, as if it was about to collapse.
Afterwards, a yellow light lit up in the soil and rocks in the tunnel. This layer of yellow light quickly gathered towards the middle, sticking together. Even the surrounding soil and rocks banged and gathered together, and the entire tunnel was filled.
Zhang Ling was still not at ease, and he opened his mouth and sprayed out a pure spiritual energy, which merged into the soil and rocks. This made the texture of the soil and rocks even harder.
He had already noticed that the blood-haired cultivator didn't cultivate earth spirit power. Even if he could use other treasures for earth escape techniques, he wouldn't be as fast as him.
After doing all this, he and the Mysterious Turtle quickly flew up along the tunnel.
Making the texture of the soil and rocks in this area three points harder, it would definitely waste a little time for this person to break through the soil and rocks to chase after them.
Once they reached the ground, there would be endless demonic energy interference, and it would become much easier to escape this person's pursuit.
All the way up, the soil and rocks under his feet surged rapidly, sealing the entire cave.
A moment later, he flew out of the cave, to a rubble area. Looking around, this wasn't the soil slope he had gone down before.
However, the arranged formation must not be far away. Zhang Ling didn't plan to return there to collect the arranged equipment.
He saw a flash of five-colored spiritual light on his body, and several identical phantoms appeared beside him. This was naturally the phantom shadows he had conjured with the phantom shadow clone bubble in his hand.
Just now, he used this treasure to conjure true and false phantoms below. He temporarily confused the blood-haired man, and used the smoke generated by the purple light ball to interfere with his divine sense, and quietly escaped with earth escape techniques.
The cave under his feet had been sealed with soil and rocks. But it could only block a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator for a moment.
The Mysterious Turtle beside him flicked his fingers a few times, and several spiritual lights submerged into the five phantoms. A layer of ice mist appeared on the phantoms.
"Go"
Zhang Ling's mind moved, and the phantoms flew away in all directions under his control. He and the Mysterious Turtle also mixed into it, chose a direction, and disappeared.
A dozen breaths after they left, the ground shook, and with a loud bang, a large hole exploded in the ground within a dozen feet, and a bloody light rushed out.
It was the blood-haired man, his face was frighteningly gloomy, and his face was full of anger. He was actually played by two early-stage guys.
He spread his divine sense to the surroundings, wanting to find the traces of the two people. But the surroundings were filled with a large amount of demonic energy. Although it didn't affect their alien demon cultivators as much as ordinary cultivators.
But the power of divine sense could only search within a hundred feet nearby at most, and the two enemies had long since disappeared.
The man searched in a few directions nearby unwillingly, and only sensed that there were traces of these two people in several directions, and they were rapidly dissipating.
Obviously, these two guys used deceptive methods. If it were in other places, there would be many secret methods to determine where the two really escaped to.
But the bottom of the Demon Spring was filled with a large amount of demonic energy, and it was constantly changing and flowing. In a short period of time, the few true and false breaths that he sensed had all been dispersed.
How could he search for the enemy?
The blood-haired man was both angry and depressed, and couldn't help but look up at the sky, but he shook his head.
Although he couldn't search for the enemy's whereabouts, he could probably guess that the greatest possibility was that these two enemies were flying towards the sky. If they wanted to leave the Demon Spring, they could only pass through the crystal wall above.
After hesitating for a while, he still sighed and didn't chase after this guess. The Demon Spring was different from other places. There was a sealing formation on the island that suppressed his own cultivation.
Even if he could catch up with these two people, once they were outside, he would be at a disadvantage instead, and he would also be suppressed to the Golden Core strength. The situation might be reversed.
It would be unfavorable to him and there would be many risks.
He glanced at the hole in the ground, the blood-haired man returned with a cold face. Discovering that two cultivators, one human and one demon, had broken into this place, he could only consider it his bad luck.
The top priority now was not to chase these two people. But to see the condition of the Demon Sealing Disk.
Re-entering the underground, the blood-haired man easily found the Demon Sealing Disk.
Walking along a tunnel in a ruined relic, it wasn't long before he saw the Demon Sealing Disk slowly rotating in mid-air. It released a large piece of five-colored spiritual light, turning into a light curtain, suppressing a black mist.
The black mist was made of pure demonic energy, which was nothing strange here.
But strangely, unlike ordinary demonic energy, these demonic energy actually conjured various demonic monster images, filling most of the tunnel.
The blood-haired man's face was surprised. This demonic energy was a little wrong. Then he suddenly seemed to think of something, and exclaimed with joy, "Could this be the true demon energy that existed in ancient times?"
A greedy look appeared in his eyes, and he laughed out loud, his expression becoming a little excited and crazy.
……
Let's talk about Zhang Ling, who was hiding his figure with the Mysterious Turtle, and had approached the transparent crystal wall in the Demon Spring.
At this moment, he was still holding a bald man who was unconscious. This person had a black scorpion tattoo on his face. This was an alien demon cultivator who had just finished washing his own demonic energy, whom he had seen in the demonic energy not long ago.
With his strength, he easily controlled this cultivator, and cast a Soul Confusion Technique on this person, causing him to fall into a state of unconsciousness. He also obtained some information through the Soul Confusion Technique.
This person's name was Tian Fei, and he was a disciple of a small force in the Black Demon Tribe. This force had three cultivators who entered Wind Demon Island, all of whom were at the late stage of Golden Core cultivation.
Originally, they were acting together, but unfortunately, on the way to the Demon Spring, they encountered several powerful high-level demon beasts.
The other two were unlucky and had already died, leaving this person behind.
This person's situation happened to fit the target he was looking for. Such a lone cultivator from a small force, no one would pay attention to his life or death.
Looking up at the crystal wall above, which was close at hand, Zhang Ling gently patted it with one hand, and a yellow light hit the bald cultivator's body. Some spiritual lights appeared on this person's body, and they all fell on his head.
A moment later, Zhang Ling pointed at his own brow. He separated a divine thought and submerged it into this person's body, temporarily controlling this person. Then he flicked his hand and released the Two Instruments Gourd, and he and the Mysterious Turtle flashed into the gourd.
However, a dark green gourd and a black gourd were left in place.
Why were there two Two Instruments Gourds? Because this treasure could not be put into the storage bag.
The Two Instruments Gourds were already special, especially Lan Que's black gourd, which was a space treasure made by integrating other materials.
These types of treasures generally cannot be put into space instruments such as storage bags.
At this time, Tian Fei also woke up, but his eyes were a little dull. But then his eyes flashed with yellow light, as if he had regained his senses, and showed a smile.
He glanced at the two gourds, shook his hand, and the gourds were put into his sleeves.
Immediately afterwards, this person opened his mouth and spat out a green light, and there was a green crescent magic weapon in the light. With a loud bang, it directly slashed on the crystal wall above, making a hissing friction sound.
This was this person's natal magic weapon. He was now controlling this person, and he could also skillfully display some power.
The crystal wall cracked and broke a gap, and Tian Fei flashed through the crystal wall and reached the top.
The crack quickly recovered as before. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ling's true body and second soul instantly sensed that his cultivation was suppressed again.
"It's really a little uncomfortable."
Zhang Ling controlled this person and smiled bitterly. Without hesitation, he flew towards the sky, intending to leave this island.
A quarter of an hour later, he flew out of the Demon Spring.
But as soon as he flew out of the Demon Spring, his expression changed slightly. He quickly moved a distance to the side, stood respectfully in the distance, and stopped moving.
Immediately afterwards, a rough, bright voice came over. "Boy, what happened to the Demon Spring below? Have you seen the blood light of the Blood Sky Tribe?"
As soon as the voice fell, the demonic energy in front of him rolled, and a green light and a white light rushed out. It was two old men.
The spiritual pressure on these two people was at the peak of the Golden Core cultivation. Zhang Ling's divine sense controlled Tian Fei and glanced at them. He immediately recognized their identities.
These two people were not Golden Core disciples, but two of the six Nascent Soul cultivators who led this group of cultivators. They just suppressed their cultivation.
"Greetings to the two seniors, this disciple did not feel any changes in the Demon Spring below, nor did I encounter Senior Blood Light of the Blood Sky Tribe. This disciple just finished washing his own demonic energy and was planning to return..." Tian Fei replied nervously.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, what can an ordinary disciple know? The Blood Light Old Demon crushed the communication talisman, obviously something happened." The yellow-faced old man among the two had a heavy expression, and interrupted before Zhang Ling finished speaking.
"What are the Blood Light Old Demon and Dragon Fellow Daoist of the Demon Soul Palace doing? They seem to be deliberately avoiding us, and even entered the island and went deep into the Demon Spring. Are they hiding some secret?" Another gray-haired old man who was slightly younger also had a somewhat unsightly expression.
"Hehe, what secrets can there be? Most of them are special tasks of the Demon Soul Palace. There have been many similar situations before. It may be to let them go deep into the Demon Spring to check the seal of the ancient cultivators." The yellow-faced old man stroked his beard and looked at the Demon Spring with a smile.
"Well, I hope so."
The gray-haired old man also shook his head. "It seems that something may have happened, otherwise why would they summon a few of us? Damn it, we were caught up in this hard job, it's really unlucky. This old man is still rushing back to retreat and cultivate."
The old man's expression was a bit gloomy, and he had a bad premonition. After complaining, his figure flashed and entered the Demon Spring. The yellow-faced old man was also silent for a moment in place, and followed down.
From beginning to end, these two Nascent Soul monsters did not look at Tian Fei, who was controlled by Zhang Ling.
"Hehe, it's a good thing I left quickly. If I was a little slower, I might have been blocked by these two people below." Zhang Ling in the Two Instruments Gourd opened his eyes and snorted.
That Blood Light Old Demon was really insidious. If he had really been entangled by this person just now, and other Nascent Soul monsters had arrived, it would have been many times more difficult to leave. It was possible that he would not be able to leave.
Also, once they were above, their cultivation would be suppressed, so it would be easier to escape. With a slight movement of his mind, his divine thought controlled Tian Fei and quickly left the Demon Spring range.
