Peerless Immortal God

Chapter 162- Protective artifact

Chapter 162

A few hours later, Long Feng and Hua Liuli had entered deeper into the Yin ghost forest. The beasts the encountered became increasingly stronger and more ferocious, each of them overflowing with ghost energy.

He could also sense that the ghost yin energy which pervaded the air was slowly thickening. At this depths, an ordinary yin level cultivator would be consumed by this thick ghost energy.

As they walked, he used this opportunity to study the foundation sword art and even used the beasts they encountered to hone his understanding of it and deepen his insights. He could feel that his idea of using the foundation sword art as the basis of all his sword techniques was possible. He was naturally relieved to know that.

At this moment, they had just slaughtered a swamp beast when Long Feng spread out his soul power and instantly frowned. He had sensed a minute fluctuating of energy just now. Unsure if it was just his imagination, he spread out his soul power again but didn't sense anything.

He turned to Hua Liuli. "Did you sense something?"

Hua Liuli groaned with a sad face. "The only thing I can sense is that I'm dying of hunger."

Long Feng sighed, remembering that Hua Liuli had been nothing but a side audience and even a burden to him. These few hours, she hadn't lifted a finger to do anything even when beasts were attacking.
"Of course you wouldn't sense anything. Let's go"

He walked cautiously in the direction where he sensed this energy fluctuation with utmost vigilance.

He even laid a concealment formation around both himself and Hua Liuli for further safety.

Although he wasn't particularly strong currently, he could boast that with his peak heaven layered soul power, he could lay a formation which even spirit level masters would have a hard time seeing through. As for the yin ghosts who's weakness was particularly their weak soul and weak defense, probably even peak spirit level yin ghosts wouldn't be able to see through his soul formation without focusing completely.

They walked for two incense sticks worth of time in the direction before his soul power finally picked up some faint auras in the distance. But to him, these auras were like fireflies in a dark night.

"Pour your soul power into the formation!" He lowered his voice and said as he withdrew his spread out soul power. It would be unfortunate of the enemies were to sense his soul power and use it to track him down.

Hua Liuli grumbled but still did as he said, pouring her own peak heaven layered soul power into the concealment formation around then, further reinforcing it.

They both proceeded cautiously for another half an incense before they finally found the source of the auras they had felt.

Looking at the flat land with rough building structures and dozens of yin ghosts occasionally moving around, Long Feng felt the sides of his eyes twitching.

A yin ghost territory!

The question was now if there was a yin soldier overseeing this land, which was a great possibility.

Come to think of it, even if there was no yin soldier, just the spirit level yin ghosts were more than enough to vaporize the duo.

"This is the first territory we've ran into since we began our search. Yan jian and Li Yue'er could be here, but they might also be somewhere else entirely. In that case, all this would be a wild goose chase.

"There is also a possibility that big sister Li Yue'er also managed to escape like us and is hiding somewhere. Or she might have not been captured at all in the first place" Hua Liuli said, even though she herself felt that this was very unlikely.
