The moment Lin Yi clapped eyes on Lanyun Half-Saint, his pupils couldn’t help but contract slightly.
Lanyun Half-Saint had arrived so swiftly.
It seemed that, after all, he was a beat too late, and that fellow Yun Shan had already sent out the message.
Seeing only Lin Yi at the site and not the figure of Yun Shan, Lanyun Half-Saint’s eyebrows furrowed, "Lin Yi, my young friend, where is Yun Shan?"
Lin Yi’s expression remained calm, "I have not met Yun Shan."
Upon hearing this, Lanyun Half-Saint’s face suddenly turned cold, "Yun Shan has already sent a message to me, my young friend Lin Yi, there’s no need to pretend anymore."
"What exactly have you done to my disciple?"
"Rest assured, he’s still alive."
Lin Yi’s face was without a ripple, "As long as you take me to see the Blood Prison Sword Saint, I can ensure his safety."
"Of course, that’s possible, but before that, you need to answer me one question," Lanyun Half-Saint said, eyes narrowing as he stared at Lin Yi.
"What is your relationship with Junior Brother Kong Yuan?"
"Why is the Blood Prison Holy Sword with you?"
"This broken sword is actually your Blood Prison Mountain’s Holy Sword?" Lin Yi’s face showed a trace of surprise, "I picked up this sword from an ancient relic, I really didn’t know its origin."
Now that he knew Lanyun Half-Saint might be a problem, how could he possibly tell the truth to his opponent?
Lanyun Half-Saint’s expression was indifferent, "Ignorance is no crime, now that you know it belongs to our Blood Prison Mountain, my young friend should return it to its rightful owner, please hand over this sword to me!"
Lin Yi, however, smiled insincerely, "Since this sword is the Holy Sword of Blood Prison Mountain, it should naturally be handed over to the Blood Prison Sword Saint himself, that would be the proper way, don’t you think, Lanyun Half-Saint?"
"What you say is not wrong."
Lanyun Half-Saint nodded, "I shall take you to see the Master."
Having said this, he turned and seemed to be leading the way for Lin Yi.
However, in the moment that Lanyun Half-Saint turned around, Lin Yi took to his heels, bolting in the opposite direction!
Lin Yi’s eyes flickered wildly, this old thing was very likely to have big issues!
Seeing Lin Yi suddenly sprint in the opposite direction, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Lanyun Half-Saint’s mouth; in his eyes, Lin Yi seemed like a little flea that couldn’t escape his palm.
With a flash of his figure, Lanyun Half-Saint charged out like lightning, his speed several times that of Lin Yi!
The distance between the two closed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This old guy definitely has big issues!"
Lin Yi’s face darkened slightly; this old man had finally completely torn off his disguise and revealed his true face!
This person, like Luo Fu Half-Saint who had already been slain by Kong Yuan, was very likely a spy from the Pi Jue Corpse Clan.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out in Lin Yi’s ears again, "Hurry to the northwest side of Blood Prison Mountain, find Ji Xuan Half-Saint, the second disciple of Sword Saint!"
"He is the only one in Blood Prison Mountain who can contend with Lanyun Half-Saint!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi looked towards the source of the voice and saw several figures rushing out from a Spirit Mine!
It was Qi Sheng and the other strong practitioners from Kong Yuan’s lineage!
"We will buy you some time!"
A resolute look flashed in Qi Sheng’s eyes.
Lin Yi was taken aback, "But that’s a Half-Saint; how could you possibly stop him?"
Besides, their cultivation was sealed; what could they use to stop a Half-Saint?
"I naturally have a way; you must go quickly! Otherwise, you might destroy even the slimmest chance of survival!"
"You must succeed, vindicate our Master! Rescue the remaining disciples of our lineage!" Qi Sheng shouted sternly.
Lin Yi had no choice but to flee at full speed, but the next moment, he heard explosion sounds coming from behind him; he couldn’t help but turn his head to look back and saw Qi Sheng and the others, one after another, self-detonating!
This sight moved Lin Yi deeply; Qi Sheng’s method turned out to be self-explosion!
To detonate themselves to block Lanyun Half-Saint for a brief moment, buying him time!
If he didn’t fulfill the task, wouldn’t he be letting them down?
Lin Yi bit back the sorrow in his heart and sped away into the distance.
While a Venerable posed no threat to a Half-Saint, a close-range self-detonation could still cause some disturbance.
Lanyun Half-Saint was, after all, held back for a moment; his face revealed a shade of darkness, "A bunch of ant-like things, think self-detonation could allow you to escape from me? Such wishful thinking!"
With his powerful Half-Saint Thought, he locked onto Lin Yi’s aura in an instant, then his expression changed slightly, noticing the direction Lin Yi was fleeing towards seemed to be the dwelling of his second junior, Ji Xuan Half-Saint!
He couldn’t let this kid disturb his second junior!
Lanyun Half-Saint stomped his foot and an overwhelming murderous intent surged from him; he aimed to resolve this kid before he could alarm Ji Xuan Half-Saint!
