Chapter 503: Chapter 475: Healing People With Destiny’s Energy

“Strange, where is he?” They slowly healed their wounds, searched all around, but the four of them couldn’t find any trace of Li Fan.

“Could he have exhausted his strength, knowing he was no match, and retreated first?”

A hint of confusion flashed across the faces of these black-clothed cultivators of the Five Elders Organization.

“Judging from the power of that palm strike, it’s very possible. A single strike almost shattered the Cave Heaven Domains of the four of us, such a divine technique, no matter how strong he is, should have resulted in considerable backlash…”

“Not necessarily, the ancient cultivator is good at fighting, and Li Fan obviously hid something before.”

“In any case, it’s better to be cautious. Let’s break this array first!”

The four of them exchanged glances and jointly attacked the Prism Dragon Entrapment Array set up by Li Fan.

It seemed that the array had no cultivators to command it, and the previously indestructible defense became extremely weak.

The huge golden bowl was teetering in an instant.

Overjoyed, they accelerated their attack frequency.

Just as the Encircled Dragon Array was thoroughly broken by them, a rain of golden light descended from the sky.

It enveloped the four, reflecting dazzling rays of light.

Under the golden light, they couldn’t help but squint slightly.

“Be careful!”

Just then, the leading cultivator suddenly shouted a warning.

Before the sound of his words fell, accompanied by a boom, some of the golden light that had fallen around them directly exploded.

Terrible energy surged from the center of the explosion, sweeping around.

And as for the explosion source disguised as golden light, there were as many as sixteen or seventeen of them.

They completely surrounded the individuals from the Five Elders Organization.

“Sky-Rending Liu Jinlei Thunder?!”

In the voice of anger and shock, the specks of Liu Jinlei Thunder instantly turned into hoops of light, engulfing them all.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Earth-shaking explosions continuously echoed over this sea area.

After who knows how long, when everything had settled down.

In the severely damaged Cave Heaven Domain, the squirming flesh of a few individuals slowly and painstakingly took shape.

“How despicable…”

“I knew he didn’t go far!”

Their faces were filled with the color of a close escape from death. They quickly scanned their surroundings but still didn’t discover where Li Fan was hiding.

“Don’t tangle with him anymore, we retreat!” the leader gritted his teeth and said.

Recollecting the bizarre spectacle of the Cave Heaven, they no longer cared about other matters and headed towards Yongliang State at the edge of the Misthaven Ocean.

After flying for a long time, the coastline of Yongliang State was in sight, and Li Fan didn’t appear again.

It was as if he had given up on chasing them.

The four of them couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, after thinking back on their near-death experience, they felt something was amiss.

“Bing Liu, why do I feel like, this Li Fan is intentionally playing us?”

“…”

The black-clothed cultivator code-named Bing Liu was silent for a moment before he finally said solemnly: “Though I also don’t want to admit it, looking at the actual situation, something’s indeed strange.”

“He clearly could have taken our lives with that Liu Jinlei Thunder right after that palm strike. But he waited until we had recovered our spiritual energy to make his move again.”

“It’s like he deliberately gave us a chance to breathe.”

At this point, another black-clothed cultivator continued: “We were severely wounded just now and any casual attack would have been enough to kill us. But he didn’t do that, instead, he let us go…”

“What exactly does he mean?”

The four of them looked at each other, all bewildered.

“Li Fan is an ancient cultivator who slept for thousands of years and just woke up. Clearly, someone like him would not have much sense of belonging to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals,” Bing Liu thought for a while and then said.

“Are you saying…” The eyes of the other three brightened.

“He figured out our identity as members of the Five Elders Organization, wanted to form a good relationship, so he deliberately spared us?”

“That’s very likely.”

“So that’s how it is!”

“Does this mean we can subvert this person and have him join our Five Elders Organization?” Bing Liu was struck by a thought.

“According to the information we inquired, it was this man who first deduced the riddles of [Tianxuan Spirit Locking, Xuanhuang Unification]. If we could persuade him to join us, not only can we offset the punishment for the mission’s failure, but we could also make a significant achievement.”

Once these words were uttered, they were filled with interest.

But, in the end, reason overcame desire.

The leading cultivator said: “Let’s go back and report his situation first.”

“This man is strange from top to bottom, we have to be cautious,” another black-clothed cultivator agreed.

Bing Liu felt somewhat regretful: “This man has elusive whereabouts and moves mysteriously. It would indeed be quite difficult to track him down.”

Someone followed up: “Yeah, if we didn’t encounter him sneaking out while we were on a mission, we probably wouldn’t have been able to deal with him.”

“After all, he is a cultivator of the Heavenly Machine Sect, proficient in The Art of Deduction. He can resist and shield against deduction spells, which is normal,” someone said.

The group exchanged words as they drew closer and closer to Yongliang State.

However, they gradually noticed anomalies in their surroundings.

Even though it seemed that they were within reach, no matter how they flew, they were still just over the Misthaven Ocean.

The distance to Yongliang State remained just out of reach, and they were unable to arrive.

What horrified and startled them more was that the scenery of Yongliang State in the distance, upon a closer look, was somewhat blurry!

As though it wasn’t real, but just an illusion.

The four of them stopped flying immediately, staring solemnly ahead.

After a brief moment, the leading black-clothed cultivator paled in fear: “Damn it! It’s an illusion!”

“What?” The rest were taken aback, then finally realized, looking horrified as they reexamined their surroundings.

Clouds, wind, waves…

All their surroundings fell silent in an instant.

Following that, just like cracks appearing on a glass mirror, they burst into fragments out of the blue.

In their ears, they could faintly hear the echoes of the Sky-Rending Liu Jinlei Thunder explosion, their Cave Heaven was in a disastrous state, their bodies mangled, and there was no way to restore it!

It turns out that time had still stopped at the moment when Li Fan used the Liu Jinlei Thunder to ambush them.

“He took advantage of the moment when our Cave Heaven Domain was under shock, and our minds were in a trance, to pull us into an illusion!” Bing Liu finally figured it out and could not help but exclaim.

“The Art of Deduction, Array Technique, illusion…”

“Truly worthy of an ancient cultivator.”

The leader coughed, reluctantly praising while gritting his teeth.

He tried to activate his Cave Heaven to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Energy. However, he despaired to find that at some unknown point, the other party had already set up an Array Technique, and turned this area into a Spiritual Energy vacuum zone.

This completely cut off the possibility for Nascent Soul Monks to quickly recover their bodies using the power of Cave Heaven.

“Impressive techniques!” He gazed into the empty space ahead.

There, Li Fan was gradually revealing his figure.

“Coincidence…” Li Fan frowned slightly and murmured.

With his abilities, he could have easily slaughtered these four people from the Five Elders Organization.

The reason why he wasted so much effort is that he wanted to use the Mistwater Mirage Technique to probe for the reason why his outing was discovered this time from their minds.

However, to his surprise, the answer he received seemed rather incredible.

Without hesitation, he swung the Five Elements Annihilation Sword consecutively.

The four monks of the Five Elders Organization, who were already heavily injured, managed to resist for a brief moment before dying miserably under Li Fan’s sword.

The phenomena of cultivator’s fall suddenly appeared above his head, but Li Fan didn’t have the mood to look at it.

Because he found that just as he was fighting with the monks of the Five Elders Organization.

The gigantic whirlpool at the bottom of the ocean suddenly erupted with suction, swallowing Han Yi into the dark pit of ruins, who had been immobilized by the [Binding Worms].

“Destiny…”

Standing before the whirlpool, Li Fan appeared thoughtful.
