The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1199

Chapter 1199: Chapter 1196: Medicinal Liquid Chapter 1199: Chapter 1196: Medicinal Liquid Shen Luo's silhouette vanished, and hundreds of li away, behind where he disappeared,

the Nine-Headed Insect was startled when it saw Shen Luo use the Wind and Thunder Wings through the eyes of a Blood Patterned Hummingbird.

“What kind of Escape Technique is this? It looks very similar to the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique of the Peng Demon King?”

Such a peerless Escape Technique, even if he transformed into a demon body, he wouldn't be able to catch up.

However, the Nine-Headed Insect wasn't worried. An abrupt increase in speed through such an Escape Technique greatly consumes mana, and Shen Luo, being only in the Late Mahayana Stage, had weak mana. He could escape for a distance, but certainly not for long.

Sure enough, after Shen Luo had fled forward for over a thousand li, his speed returned to normal.

The Nine-Headed Insect chuckled, surrounded by swirling Blood Clouds, and continued to rollingly pursue him.

Shen Luo dispelled the Spiritual Light from his arms, his face slightly pale, as he quickly took out an Elixir and swallowed it. Then, he changed direction again and continued to fly away on his sword.

“Brother Shen, are you alright?” Bashe asked.

“It's nothing, just some mana consumption. Can you sense the Nine-Headed Insect now?” Shen Luo asked.

“Your Thunder Escape Technique crossed a thousand li, already far beyond the range of my secret technique, and the Nine-Headed Insect's Divine Sense isn't that wide. He shouldn't be able to track us down. However, this demon is unfathomably powerful, and we are now far from that low Mountain Cave Mansion. It's better not to take me and the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit out anymore.” Bashe heaved a sigh of relief then cautioned.

Shen Luo had indeed broken out in a cold sweat just now, he nodded silently, continuing to flee forward, while simultaneously circulating his ability to refine the Elixir and replenish his mana.

But in less than half a moment, Bashe sensed the Nine-Headed Insect appearing behind them, tracking them directly.

“Damn, the Nine-Headed Insect has appeared again! Straight behind us!” Bashe exclaimed.

“What's going on? I have already put away both you and the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit, how could the Nine-Headed Insect possibly know my location? Could his secret technique penetrate the Void Jade Box?” Shen Luo was startled upon hearing this and didn't bother conserving mana any longer, stimulating the Spirit Patterns on his arms.

His Escape Light suddenly increased manyfold, and although it still wasn't comparable to the Nine-Headed Insect's, it greatly slowed the rate at which the distance between them was shrinking.

“No, if his sensing technique could penetrate the Void Jade Box, he wouldn't have taken so long to catch up to us. I think he's used another method,” Bashe firmly denied, pondering aloud.

“What method?” Shen Luo pressed.

“The Nine-Headed Insect is adept at raising a large number of spirit birds and insects and has a peculiar secret technique that connects his sight with those of the spirit insects and spirit birds. Then, he scatters those insects and birds throughout Yunmeng Marsh to track his enemies, an infallible technique. I have used similar methods before; it's highly likely that this is how he found us so easily,” Bashe explained.

“There's such a secret technique? Since you have used this technique, you must understand it. Is there a way to break it?” Shen Luo was shocked, looking down as if searching for something.

“The spirit birds and insects that the Nine-Headed Insect manipulates are diverse, and the methods to counter them vary. We first need to identify which creature is causing trouble. Let me out of the Void Jade Box, and I'll use my Divine Sense to search and investigate,” Bashe said.

With the Nine-Headed Insect's spies possibly below, it no longer mattered if Bashe was sensed. Shen Luo immediately let him out of the Void Jade Box.

A blue light flickered at Bashe's brow, and a powerful Divine Sense burst forth, even more potent than Shen Luo's, as it scanned the area below.

Shen Luo's eyes moved, noting that after Bashe employed that Splitting Divine Power, his cultivation level dropped sharply, but his Divine Sense remained unimpaired.

He continued to advance in flight while also expanding his Divine Sense, carefully inspecting everything below.

“Found it, it's the Blood-veined Hummingbird!” Bashe said excitedly.

“The Blood-veined Hummingbird?” Shen Luo hadn't noticed anything.

“It's this spirit bird.” Bashe poked its head out from the Qiankun Bag and spit out a thin blue lightning bolt, striking a patch of grass below.

With a “whoosh,” the grass burst into flames, and a Blood-veined Hummingbird flew out at an incredibly fast speed, almost matching the escape light of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

“So it's this spirit bird, indeed somewhat peculiar. Do you have a way to deal with it?” Shen Luo's pupils suddenly contracted as he urgently asked.

His Divine Sense could already sense the approach of the Nine-Headed Insect's Blood Cloud from behind, rapidly closing in.

“Besides using their eyes, Blood-veined Hummingbirds also emit a spiritual wave to probe their surroundings. The spiritual wave sensing is sharper than the eyes, making it not easy to escape their detection. However, we're in luck. In my years of trying to escape the Nine-Headed Insect's control, I've made various preparations. As the Nine-Headed Insect's most sensitive scouting spirit bird, I've secretly studied the Blood-veined Hummingbird and created a liquid that can block the sensing of its spiritual waves. Daoist friend Shen, use your Wind and Thunder Wings once more to shake off the Nine-Headed Insect!” Bashe chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo's thoughts stirred, and he condensed his spiritual light into two massive Wind and Thunder Wings. He once again performed the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Divine Skill, speeding off with terrifying velocity and instantly disappearing into the horizon ahead.

When the Nine-Headed Insect sensed this, it let out a cold laugh, not worried in the least.

The direction of Shen Luo's flight was exactly where Blood-veined Hummingbirds were densely deployed, and no matter how hard he struggled, escape was impossible.

He activated the Blood Cloud Escape Technique and continued the pursuit with an undisturbed demeanor.

In an instant, Shen Luo had fled a thousand li and stopped. His arms and spiritual wings dispersed with a loud bang, and upon landing, he staggered slightly, his face paler than paper.

After performing the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique twice in succession, only thirty percent of his mana remained.

“Daoist friend Bashe, if your spirit liquid can really isolate the sensing of the Blood-veined Hummingbird, that's good news. I have little mana left, and if the liquid is ineffective, I fear the worst,” Shen Luo said, slightly panting.

“Daoist friend Shen, rest assured, I wouldn't joke with my own life. You continue forward using the Yimu Xuandun, and I'll apply the liquid on you,” Bashe said with confidence.

Hearing this, Shen Luo didn't hesitate and immediately performed the “Immortal Escape,” changing his direction and moving forward.

The moment he entered the Wood Spirit Power space of the escape, Bashe immediately popped out of the Qiankun Bag and spat out a gray jade vial.

“Wasn't your Storage Magical Tool taken away by the Nine-Headed Insect?” Shen Luo raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.

“Our Bashe clan has inherited from the Primordial Era, and our Ghost Car Bloodline is not inferior to the Nine-Headed Insect's. Once we reach adulthood, our clan members all form an alternate space within us that can store items and be used to attack the enemy. The Storage Magical Tool I carry is just to mislead others; the real treasures are all kept in the space inside my stomach,” said Bashe with a self-satisfied chuckle.

Bashe shared this life-critical information with Shen Luo, not because she fully trusted him now, but due to the deeply embedded Spiritual Communication Seal within her soul. This seal influenced every one of her actions. If she lied or even intentionally concealed something, it would be detected immediately.

“I never thought that Shen Luo's Art of Spirit Communication would be so marvelous. It seems that even if my strength recovers, I won't be able to forcibly break free. It's better not to harbor any clever schemes and obediently serve as this person's spirit beast; after all, it's only fifty years,” she thought secretly to herself. She then immediately disrupted her train of thought to prevent the Spiritual Communication Seal from sensing it, all while urging the jade bottle in her hand.

A transparent spirit liquid suddenly flew out from the bottle, moving like a spirit snake around Shen Luo's body, leaving a thin layer of sticky liquid wherever it passed.

This liquid was colorless and odorless, with no distinguishing features other than a slight coolness.

The spirit liquid application was quickly completed and the “Immortal Escape” had also reached its limit. Shen Luo emerged from the escape state and appeared in the middle of a lush forest.
