"Alright, let's part ways here. I still have some matters to attend to in the Windy City. Next time, when I have the chance, I'll have a drink with the two seniors!"

After daybreak, Ling Yun Fan stopped and revealed a slight smile as he spoke to Ling Feng and Jian Qingshan who were by his side.

"Alright, be careful."

Hearing this, the two of them also nodded and responded before leaving on their respective White Eagle Pengs.

Watching the two fly off into the distance, Ling Yunfan finally let out a whistle, and called over the White Eagle Peng which Nebula Great Elder had gifted him.

"Ah Xiang, long time no see. Bring me to the Apothecary Guild in the Windy City!" Seeing the White Hawk Peng, who had already reached the peak of the third step, Lingyun stroked its head and spoke to it with a tone similar to an old friend. Then, he jumped onto its back and sat down.

In just a short moment, he had already disappeared from the sky. Perhaps it was because of his progress, but his speed was several times faster than before. Although Lingyun could rely on his own strength to fly in the air, he was sure that his speed was not as fast as Ah Xiang's.

"… …"

"Bang bang …" "Bang, bang …"

Not long after Lingyun flew away, one by one, the mountains of snow in the snowy plains where he previously walked out exploded.

Then, from among the countless rubble, many figures walked out. Even though they looked very similar to humans, their flesh and blood were brown in color as if they had been contaminated. Their hands also had long black claws.

Many of the fangs were dripping with green liquid.

These strange human-like existences emitted a martial warrior's aura from head to toe, but the release of this spiritual energy was not. It was something that was very similar to spiritual energy, but completely different from it.

If it were the seniors at the Grand Elder Nebula level who saw it, they would definitely be able to recognize that these inhuman monsters were devil-like zombies.

Although zombies had the same cultivation level as human warriors, their cultivation methods were different, because they needed to absorb the world's spirit energy while absorbing human blood to cultivate, and the martial skills they used would consume something called corpse essence.

These zombies had the word 'demon corpse' engraved on their faces.

"You go chase after that brat, you calamity. The rest of you, follow me."

Immediately, all the green auras on the zombies were withdrawn. The zombie, who wore a black robe, had a small nose, big eyes, and seemed to be older than the others. It first said something to the zombie teenager, who was at the 5th level of the Spirit realm, before leading the other zombies away.

"This is so boring. You want me to kill a useless person in the 1st level of the Spirit realm?"

After all the zombies had left, the young zombie revealed a helpless look and started to complain.

However, that was an order from the elder after all. He was only the second person amongst the core disciples and did not have the courage to go against them. Thus, he could only grumble a little before putting on a black mask and flying towards Ling Yunfan's position.

"… …"

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Ling Yunfan and his White Eagle Roc had arrived at a grassland ten miles away from the Firestorm City.

"Hmm? Someone is closing in on me at an extremely fast speed. At this moment, Ling Yunfan suddenly exited from his cultivation state. With a stern expression, he spoke to the White Eagle Peng, "Axiang, you should return to the Firestorm Way first. Quickly go to the Apothecary Guild and ask for help."

Finished speaking, Ling Yunfan immediately flipped backwards and left Ah Xiang's back. He stopped in the air and silently looked at the distant figure of his back.

Right at this moment, an extremely dark aura filled with killing intent stopped behind him.

When Ling Yunfan turned around to look, he discovered that the person who was emitting the killing intent was a masked man with a physique similar to him. However, this masked man did not emit any life force from his body, and instead continued to emit the death aura, causing some of the flowers and plants to instantly dry up and die.

"An expert at the 5th level of the Spirit realm, do you have any business with me?"

Seeing the ominous aura the other party was giving off, Lingyun quickly circulated his Spiritual Energy and asked with his brows furrowed.

"You're already prepared for battle, what do you think I wanted to find you for?" Hearing Ling Yunfan's question, the masked man spoke in a weird voice.

"Receive my attack!"

Just as his words left his mouth, his eyes glowed with a red light and he attacked towards Ling Yunfan with a speed that even he could not see clearly.

He waved his sharp and terrifying claws and easily broke through Ling Yunfan's protective spiritual energy. He did not even have the time to use his defensive techniques before he was sent flying through the air.

"Plop!"

As Ling Yunfan fell, a cloud of dust rose from the ground, completely covering him.

Soon, the masked man also slowly landed to the side and silently watched.

"From the looks of his body, he should be a young person similar to me. But, does that power's young generation have such powerful strength? Even Senior Ling Feng does not have this kind of strength. " After blowing away the dust on his body, he gloomily tried to guess the identity of the person he was fighting with.

Just as he was deep in thought, the masked man had turned his spirit energy into a gust of violent wind, blowing away all the dust that had concealed Ling Yunfan's traces.

"What's wrong, is that all you have?" "Isn't it too weak?" Looking at Ling Yunfan, who did not attack for a long time, the masked man ridiculed him with disdain.

"A guy in the 5th level of the Spirit realm bullying a person in the 1st level, yet I have the nerve to say that my opponent's strength is weak. My skin is really thick to an entire realm."

Towards the masked man's provocation, Lingyun naturally would not be fooled, so he ruthlessly retorted.

At the same time, he directly entered the hellish state where he attacked the masked man with all the speed he could muster with the Blazing Flame Sword in his hand. He was even using the Whirlwind Slash to disrupt his opponent.

"An insignificant skill."

Facing the countless sword Qis that Ling Yunfan sent out, the masked man only gave them a disdainful glance, before waving his corpse attributed claws and easily breaking them apart. Then, he tightly grabbed onto the flaming sword with one hand.

"What!"

Seeing that his attack was easily resolved, Ling Yunfan also immediately pulled the flaming sword out of his opponent's hands, and once again unleashed a fierce attack at the speed of the wind.

"Clang clang clang …" Clang! Clang! Clang …

However, no matter from which direction he attacked, the masked man would easily receive it. Moreover, he would be able to immediately counterattack, and every attack would cause Lingyun to be attacked.

"Dammit. This guy's strength is probably a lot stronger than normal people in the 5th level of the Spirit realm. It seems that I have to go all out."

Ling Yunfan, who was frantically launching attacks, also gradually realized how terrifying his opponent was.
