After returning to Silvermoon City, Ren Pingsheng carefully studied the Jade Tablet that the Demon Emperor had given him. The method was simple; it only required Demonic Energy or True Qi to temporarily isolate the Soul Pursuit Blood Seal from external sensing through a special operation method. However, since this was performed by a King-Level Martial Artist, it could only seal for ten days before breaking, requiring re-sealing.
This posed considerable danger for him. The range of the Soul Pursuit Blood Seal's sensing was one million miles, meaning that anyone within that range could determine his location and pursue him. If he did not escape the one million miles during the sealing period, once it broke, he would be detected by those pursuing him.
If what the Demon Emperor said was true, it was highly likely that a King-Level Expert would be after him. If detected, it would be very dangerous. Once caught, there would be no chance of survival.
"I just don't know which faction the Yuzhou City Lord's wife belongs to. This puts me in a passive position. And what about those from One-Pin Hall? I wonder if they will notice anything?" Ren Pingsheng pondered while looking out the window.
"And what about Qingyi? This is too dangerous; if I take her with me, won't that put her in danger? But if I don't take her, where should she go?"
In the blink of an eye, a night had passed, and a new day began.
"Ren Brother, I told you I want to go with you; it doesn't matter how dangerous it is," Yi Qingyi said with an unhappy expression, tugging at Ren Pingsheng's clothes and refusing to let him leave.
"Sigh, there's really no way to deal with you. This time there is a life-threatening danger; if you really want to come along, then let's go together!" Ren Pingsheng said helplessly. He truly had no way to refuse this spoiled little girl.
"Hmph, you should have agreed earlier; now let's go!" she said triumphantly.
"Alright, then let's go!"
After having breakfast, the two stepped onto the teleportation array of Silvermoon City. They would be teleported to the nearest Secondary City to Jiangzhou and then enter Leizhou through Jiangzhou, finally crossing Leizhou to reach Azure Mist Mountain and return to Snow State.
"Back to Miss, they have already left, heading for Cangluo City in Southern State. By the looks of it, they seem prepared to leave Southern Region and return to Eastern Region. Our Blood Fiend Sect disciples have already set up along the way; there will definitely be no accidents," a man in black respectfully reported in the inn.
"Very well; as long as he leaves Cangluo City, it will be his death sentence. Let's go!" This person was Madam of Yuzhou City. With a flash, she arrived at the teleportation array in the city and disappeared.
Ren Pingsheng and Yi Qingyi were teleported to Cangluo City, the most peripheral Secondary City in Southern State and also the closest Secondary City to Jiangzhou. Without even looking around, they headed straight for the city gates.
"Qingyi, get on; we're leaving!" After exiting the city gate, Ren Pingsheng took out his Flying Vessel. The two flew up into the air and vanished in a few flashes. With his current cultivation level, controlling this Flying Vessel allowed for an even more terrifying speed than his full-speed flight.
"Seal!" While flying on the Flying Vessel, he followed the method given by the Demon Emperor to seal the Soul Pursuit Blood Seal again. This way, even if a King-Level Expert came after him, they would not find him immediately. As long as he could escape beyond one million miles within ten days, he would be safe.
"Faster! Go faster!" Ren Pingsheng kept urging himself. He knew that if a King-Level Expert truly pursued him, he needed to be at least one thousand miles away by the time they discovered him. Only then would they be safe regardless of that King-Level Expert's specific cultivation level. Even a perfect King-Level Martial Artist's divine sense could only reach a maximum range of one thousand miles.
"Ugh, damn it, why can't I feel the Soul Pursuit Blood Seal anymore? How is this possible!" The City Lord's Wife of Yuzhou City, who had just emerged from the teleportation array in Cangluo City, exclaimed with a grim expression.
"Hmm? I can't sense it either. Although I don't know what method they used, it seems they were well-prepared. But do you think you can escape because of this?"
"Black One, have those people from the Blood Fiend Sect track down Ren Pingsheng's whereabouts and report back to me immediately. I want to tear him to pieces myself," she said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, Miss!" Black One replied respectfully before disappearing to carry out the orders.
The Blood Fiend Sect was a second-tier sect in the Southern Region, powerful in Southern State. The Lady of Yuzhou City was the daughter of the Vice Master of the Blood Fiend Sect and possessed King Level Boundary cultivation. Unfortunately, she had married the City Lord of Yuzhou City against her father's wishes, which strained their relationship. Now that her husband and son had been killed by Ren Pingsheng, she was heartbroken and returned to seek revenge using the Blood Fiend Sect's influence.
At this moment, the Vice Master of the Blood Fiend Sect said nothing. Despite his dissatisfaction back then, she was still his daughter, so he tacitly accepted the situation to mobilize the sect's resources. What he thought would be an easy task became difficult due to Ren Pingsheng sealing the Soul Pursuit Blood Seal.
"This should be the person Miss wants to hunt down; we need to intercept them quickly." Although Ren Pingsheng and his companions were fast, the Blood Fiend Sect's influence was even greater, having infiltrated every corner. Soon they were spotted by two martial artists from Zongji Jing.
"Alright, let's block him first and then signal for help. There will definitely be rewards!" Judging by their attire, these two were likely Outer Sect Elders of the Blood Fiend Sect—one at Initial Stage of Sect Level and the other at Intermediate Sect Level. They swiftly moved to block the path of the Flying Vessel.
"Haha, kid, you run pretty fast. Too bad we caught you! Just surrender quietly! Our Miss will be here soon," they said smugly as one of them launched a signal flare that burst like fireworks.
"Damn it, I didn't expect their influence to be this extensive; they can still find us! We need to end this quickly!" Ren Pingsheng's expression changed as he realized they couldn't afford to delay here. The speed of a King-Level Expert was too great; if she noticed the signal, she could arrive in no time.
"Hmph, didn't your master tell you not to confront me directly?" He snorted coldly and suddenly vanished. When he reappeared, six Phantom Bodies flickered around him. The two men felt a flash before pain shot through their chests; by the time they reacted, it was already too late.
"Let's go!" Ren Pingsheng waved his hand to collect their belongings and maneuvered the Flying Vessel in another direction at high speed, leaving behind two corpses on the ground. Each had identical wounds at their heart positions.
A moment later, the Lady of Yuzhou City appeared at that location but her expression darkened upon seeing the two corpses.
"I forgot that Ren Pingsheng's strength is beyond what ordinary people can handle. It seems I need to change my strategy; I'll just have someone monitor from a distance," she murmured softly. After scanning with her divine sense and finding no trace of Ren Pingsheng, she disappeared as well.
"Haha, I didn't expect my luck to be this good; I've discovered who Miss is hunting." Ren Pingsheng changed direction but soon encountered another person. This individual was also an Outer Sect Elder of the Blood Fiend Sect with Intermediate Sect Level cultivation but was much smarter. Instead of confronting Ren Pingsheng directly, he followed from a distance. Even though the Flying Vessel was slightly faster than him, he couldn't shake him off easily.
"Hmm, I've been spotted again." Seeing a signal flare go up behind him made Ren Pingsheng's expression serious; it seemed there were many Blood Fiend Sect members nearby. No matter how he changed direction now, he would likely be discovered again.
"This person is quite clever; instead of recklessly charging in to intercept me, he's following from behind." His divine sense quickly detected the pursuer behind him; the other party made no attempt to hide and followed openly.
"Kill him!" Ren Pingsheng immediately made the decision in his heart. The Flying Vessel turned and headed towards the pursuer. A few flashes brought him much closer.
"Ah, run!" The pursuer was startled and turned to flee. He had heard of Ren Pingsheng's reputation and knew he was no match, so he dared not hesitate at this moment.
"This person is quite slippery, actually willing to let go of his pride like this." He felt somewhat troubled. Although the Flying Vessel was fast, catching up would likely take some time, and by then, the King-Level Expert's pursuit would probably arrive.
"Whoosh..." The Flying Vessel turned again and shot out at high speed, seemingly trying to use this opportunity to shake off the pursuer behind.
"Trying to run? No way!" The pursuer reacted quickly. Seeing Ren Pingsheng's Flying Vessel turn to escape, he immediately turned around and chased after it without hesitation. His speed was not slow either; he feared that if he hesitated, he would lose track of Ren Pingsheng.
He focused solely on chasing the Flying Vessel and failed to notice that someone was missing from it. Just as he chased for a few breaths, a Sword Light flashed from the side. Startled, his expression changed as he raised his sword to block, only to see the Sword Light swirl past him, and a large head flew off.
At this moment, Ren Pingsheng revealed himself, collected his things, and with a few flashes caught up with the Flying Vessel, immediately changing direction to continue his escape.
Just now, Ren Pingsheng knew he couldn't catch up with him, so he created a false impression of desperately fleeing. In fact, while pursuing, he had concealed his aura and hidden in the shadows beside him. When the Flying Vessel turned to flee urgently, the pursuer focused solely on chasing it and overlooked everything else. He completely failed to realize that Ren Pingsheng was no longer on the Flying Vessel.
"Damn it! Ren Pingsheng, I will definitely kill you!" The Lady of Yuzhou City arrived and still saw only a corpse. Ren Pingsheng had long since vanished without a trace, making her furious as she shouted angrily. A tremendous aura emanated from her, causing the sky to collapse and the surroundings to be in disarray.
Fortunately for Ren Pingsheng, he was quick-witted and responsive. If he had delayed even a little longer, she might have caught up with him. Once caught up, there would be no chance of escape.
At this moment, he was already a thousand miles away, having escaped from the King-Level Expert's sensing range; it was indeed a narrow escape.
