Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

On the other side, inside the cave.

After selling some more spiritual materials, Xu Yun packed up his stall and returned to his cave. He sat on a futon and eagerly summoned the light screen.

The next moment, as Xu Yun's thoughts stirred, ripples appeared within the light screen, and then a blood-red ginseng slowly emerged, finally landing in his palm.

"Is this the 300-year-old Blood Dragon Ginseng?"

Xu Yun looked it over and over, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes. He saw that its entire body was covered with layers of patterns, which looked like dragon patterns.

In particular, the aura emanating from this Blood Dragon Ginseng was incredibly rich, filled with surging blood energy, clearly indicating it was a top-grade spiritual herb.

Blood Dragon Ginseng with a medicinal age of three hundred years would attract a lot of attention and be highly sought after in the outside world. It can not only replenish qi and blood, but also be used as the main ingredient in higher-level elixirs, so it has many benefits.

"Not bad, not bad. This Blood Dragon Ginseng will definitely be of great use in the future, but right now, the most important thing is still Yi Fengyuan."

Xu Yun murmured something, then carefully placed the Blood Dragon Ginseng in a wooden box, sealing away all its medicinal power, before putting it into his storage bag.

Then, he made a hand seal, forming a strange mudra.

This is a technique taught to him by Daoist Tianlin, a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator. He can sense the restrictions that Daoist Tianlin has set up within the talisman, and the restrictions are highly concealed, making them difficult for others to detect.

Soon, as Xu Yun circulated his magic power and carefully sensed with his spiritual sense, he discovered the location of the talisman that he had previously sold to Yi Fengyuan.

Immediately afterwards, a strange expression appeared on his face. He looked up at the outside of the cave and gazed in a certain direction.

"This Yi Fengyuan... is actually in the forest outside Qingyu Market?"

For a moment, Xu Yun didn't know what to say.

Was it just good luck, or did the other party sense something and deliberately try to lure me in?

He had originally planned to lure Yi Fengyuan out of Qingyu Market and find a secluded place to ambush and kill him, but he never expected that the other party would leave Qingyu Market by such a coincidence, which made Xu Yunsheng a little suspicious.

"Alright, I have Daoist Tianlin protecting me, and I can sense the location of the talisman at any time, so I'll go and observe it secretly first."

Xu Yun pondered for a moment before making his decision. He was quite confident in his own strength, especially with the support of Daoist Tianlin, a remnant soul of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even if they encounter danger, they will at least have a chance to escape, let alone just observe from the shadows.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun immediately got up and quietly left the cave.

........

Meanwhile, outside Qingyufang City.

Inside a lush forest.

Boom!

With each explosion, bursts of fire erupted, echoing through the forest, causing smoke and dust to rise and rocks to fly everywhere.

As another burst of flames rose, two figures scrambled out in a disheveled state, fleeing in one direction in a panic, their bodies covered in bloody wounds.

"Brother Shi, you should go first. My sister's injuries are too severe, and if she continues like this, she will only cause you more trouble."

One of the women, dressed in a blue dress, was pale, weak, and had blood trickling from the corner of her mouth; she appeared utterly feeble.

Her left shoulder was being supported by a man with strong features. He was also not in good condition, with three bloody welts on his back that were bleeding uncontrollably, but he was undoubtedly in better condition than the woman in the green dress.

Therefore, this man fled with the woman in the green dress, but now it was clear that the two of them were about to be overwhelmed.

"Xiao Mei, don't talk nonsense. No matter what, I will never abandon you. Otherwise, what would be the point of our friendship?!"

Shi Han gritted his teeth, constantly dodging the attacks coming from behind, his heart filled with increasing bitterness and sorrow.

He and Xiao Mei originally came to this forest intending to hunt some demonic beasts to sell and earn some cultivation resources.

But to their utter surprise, while hunting monsters in this forest, they encountered the infamous Black Wind Trio.

They cooperated seamlessly and used ruthless methods. Coupled with Xiao Mei's momentary carelessness, they were immediately at a disadvantage and didn't even have time to fight back. Just escaping took up most of their strength.

If things continue like this, perhaps it really will be as Xiao Mei said, that none of them will be able to escape.

Even so, he was unwilling to betray his friends. If he did, how could he face his other friends when he went back?

"Brother Shi..."

Xiao Menglin's beautiful face showed a hint of urgency as she tried to dissuade him again, but the next moment, another explosion rang out, completely drowning out her voice.

At the same time, Shi Han narrowly escaped a fireball, but even so, some of the aftershocks still hit him.

Shi Han let out a muffled groan, his breathing becoming increasingly disordered, and his hand supporting Xiao Menglin trembled, as if he were about to lose his grip.

"Haha, brother, those two prey ran pretty fast, but unfortunately they're not of any use."

As a sneer rang out, Shi Han looked in the direction of the sound with resentment and saw three figures dressed in black robes rushing towards him.

These three were naturally the Yi Fengyuan brothers. After discovering the travel routes of the two targets, they secretly made various preparations to capture them all in one fell swoop.

At this moment, the two prey were like candles flickering in the wind, their light fading uncertainly.

"The Three Black Wind Fiends, you will all die a horrible death!"

Shi Han roared, his face filled with despair, as his strength and spiritual power were nearing their limits. If this continued, he would be caught up by the Black Wind Three Fiends sooner or later, and die tragically along with Xiao Mei.

All he could do was hurl insults before he died.

"Heh, I'm tired of hearing things like that."

Yi Fengyuan sneered, not taking it seriously at all, and took out a talisman he had bought from Xu Yun.

The next moment, he unhesitatingly poured his own magical power into it, activating it.

The runes on the talisman suddenly flickered, bursting out golden light, attempting to intertwine into a sword-shaped spiritual energy to deliver the final blow to Shi Han and the other person.

However, the next moment, Yi Fengyuan's pupils shrank, and his face was filled with horror, because in his perception, the talisman that was being activated suddenly went berserk.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a chaotic aura, the runes on the talisman hummed and exploded, releasing all the energy within.

"Run!!"

Yi Fengyuan only had time to shout to his two brothers before quickly retreating.

At the same time, Shi Han sensed a deadly threat. Ignoring everything else, he instinctively helped Xiao Menglin away from the area, and then they heard a sound...

Boom!

With a loud bang, a surge of light quickly engulfed Yi Fengyuan's two brothers who couldn't get away in time, and all that could be heard were screams of agony.

On the other side, thanks to Shi Han's timely reaction, the explosion turned into a propulsive force, causing the two of them to disappear completely from their original positions, leaving Yi Fengyuan staring blankly.
