Howl!

The Black Wind Wolf was exceptionally cunning, entangling the duo from behind, maintaining a distance without getting close.

”If we are entangled by this wolf, the Heavenly Moon Wolf will be able to track us down after killing Chen Fuhai.” Lan Changʼanʼs heart was filled with killing intent.

This Black Wind Wolf was the lackey of the Heavenly Moon Wolf. It had been keeping an eye on the two, leaving a trail of aura along the way for the Heavenly Moon Wolf to follow later.

”Fellow Daoist Zhao, you heal your injuries first.”

Lan Changʼan had a flash of inspiration and let go of her hand.

Zhao Siyaoʼs face was pale, her legs weak, barely sitting on the ground, using pills and ointments to heal her injuries.

Lan Changʼan went alone towards the Black Wind Wolf.

A lone Qi-Refining stage cultivator, the Black Wind Wolf was not afraid.
In a flash of black shadow, its claws tore towards Lan Changʼanʼs abdomen.

Lan Changʼan activated a second-rank talisman, a layer of earth armor protecting his body.

With a ”bang” sound.

The earth armor trembled, its light dimming a bit.

Lan Changʼan was not flustered at all. In recent years, he had improved a lot in his body refinement manual, his physical body was stronger than that of non-scaled beasts like the moon wolves.

This layer of earth armor was like steel armor over iron clothes.

He brought out a set of magical weapons, the Frost Iron Thorns.

Six delicate cold lights shuttled and surrounded within ten zhang of his body.

Each Frost Iron Thorn was an elite piece among middle-grade magical weapons, their power comparable to top superior-grade weapons when controlled by one with a strong spiritual sense.

Ding! Ding!

The Black Wind Wolf deflected with its claws, constantly dodging the Frost Iron Thorns, somewhat irritated.

Lan Changʼanʼs Evergreen mana was close to the sectʼs ordinary techniques, not as good as the core disciples, but not truly weak either.

Moreover, spiritual sense was also a key factor determining the lethality of magical weapons.

Whoosh!

One of the Frost Iron Thorns suddenly curved, passing by the Black Wind Wolfʼs abdomen, leaving a shallow bloody trail.

The Black Wind Wolf howled, its body stiffening, its venomous gaze fixed on Lan Changʼan.

The wound was very shallow.

But the Frost Iron Thorns were coated with second-rank deadly poison!

Even with the strong physique of demon beasts, it would inevitably suffer some effects.

Boom!

The ground beneath the Black Wind Wolfʼs feet cracked open.

A giant orange-yellow rat with purplish fur emerged, revealing a sharp claw, its coldness piercing.

The Black Wind Wolf swung its claws to parry, not taking a rat demon seriously.

However, upon clashing, the Earth Burrowing Ratʼs attacks were fierce, each claw more brutal than the last.

Howl~

The Black Wind Wolf was poisoned and inconvenienced. After only defending for a few breaths, its abdomen was clawed open, and its internal organs shattered.

Pow!

The Earth Burrowing Rat smashed its wolf head with another claw, its brownish-red eyes revealing a greedy and bloodthirsty emotion.

It turned out that not only Lan Changʼan held back.

The Earth Burrowing Rat also concealed part of its strength in the previous battle.

Due to the mutation in its bloodline, its true strength, especially in close combat, was much stronger than imagined.

”Retreat!”

Lan Changʼan recalled the Earth Burrowing Rat and retreated with Zhao Siyao.

  ......

”Use my flying boat.”

Zhao Siyao took out a second-rank flying boat, carrying the two at low altitude.

”Fellow Daoist Zhao, your leg injury?”

Lan Changʼan looked at her blood-stained white dress. Although she had applied medicine to stop the bleeding immediately, her legs remained stiff.

Lan Changʼan reached out and touched through the dress, his expression solemn.

The injury was more severe than imagined, nearly severed!

After applying medicine to stop the bleeding, the leg was forcibly held together by magic power.

”Fellow Daoist Zhao, if your leg bones are not reconnected...” Lan Changʼanʼs face showed reluctance as he hesitated.

”Sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Lan, please help me reconnect the bones and realign them, no need to be constrained by etiquette.” Zhao Siyaoʼs face was pale as she forced a smile.

She was clear that if the severed legs were not reconnected in time, she might become disabled.

The injury to her legs reduced her strength and mobility by more than half.

If caught up by the Heavenly Moon Wolf, there would be no chance of survival.

Lan Changʼan nodded, scanning their surroundings for a suitable location. When he found a deep and narrow ravine, he landed the flying boat at the bottom.

  ......

Zhao Siyao sat on the flying boat, her back leaning against the cliff wall, nearly paralyzed.

”Fellow Daoist Zhao, sorry for the offense.”

Lan Changʼan sat cross-legged in front of her and lifted her white dress.

A pair of delicate and crystal-like legs came into view.

Above, her snow-white skin like congealed cream was stained with blood.

The wound of the fractured bone, near the knee, was forcibly connected under the effect of second-rank healing medicine and magic power.

Crack!

Lan Changʼan grabbed one ice-cold calf, adjusting the bones and pouring Evergreen mana into the limb to heal and nourish it.

Even without consuming lifespan, the normal healing effect of the Evergreen Technique was quite good.

Zhao Siyao groaned in pain, her silver teeth biting her vermilion lips, her eyes closed.

The pain made cold sweat soak through her dress, but she did not say a word.

Crack!

Lan Changʼan grasped the other jade-like leg and repeated the process.

”Fellow Daoist Zhaoʼs second-rank healing medicine is of good quality, it has stabilized your condition for now.” Lan Changʼan bandaged the fractured area.

”Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lan. The healing effect of your wood system technique is also very effective.” Zhao Siyao opened her beautiful eyes, her pale face adorned with a slight blush as she forced a smile.

”Fellow Daoist Zhao, heal your wound as soon as possible and recover some strength. Once dawn breaks, we will return to Huanglong Immortal City.” Lan Changʼan said.

”Dawn?”

Zhao Siyao immediately understood. During the day, there was no moon, and the threat of the Heavenly Moon Wolf would drop by a level.

”Fellow Daoist Lan, will the Heavenly Moon Wolf follow our trail here?” Zhao Siyao felt a bit uneasy in her heart.

After all, the Heavenly Moon Wolf had an earth-grade bloodline. When amplified by moonlight, its abilities were indeed terrifying.

”It shouldnʼt.”

Lan Changʼan was at ease.

”Along the way, I cast a spell to eliminate the bloody scent and the smell on our bodies, and also sprinkled special medicinal powder on the flying boat to conceal it.”

In his previous life, he was skilled in tracking techniques. Although not considered top-notch, it was enough for use within the third rank.

”Thatʼs good then.”

Zhao Siyaoʼs eyes and brows relaxed slightly.

Lan Changʼanʼs meticulous thinking made her feel much more at ease.

However, at this moment.

Howl~~

Yet, just then, a wolfʼs howl echoed from above the deep ravine, accompanied by the powerful aura of a late second-rank beast.

Lan Changʼanʼs expression stiffened, his face slightly flushed.

Zhao Siyaoʼs face trembled, despair flashing in her eyes.

At this moment, she felt regret. If she had not meddled and participated in hunting the Gray Moon Wolf earlier, she would not have fallen into this crisis.

”Cough! The situation is not as bad as you might imagine.” Lan Changʼanʼs expression was a bit embarrassed, but he remained relatively calm.

”Just in case for something like this, I chose this ravine which is sheltered from direct moonlight.”

Zhao Siyao looked up. The opening above the ravine was narrow, with many trees and vines growing between the rock walls.

At this time, the full moon was tilted at a certain angle, indeed unable to directly shine down to their location.

If the Heavenly Moon Wolf were to chase down, its strength would fall to the middle second rank.

Zhao Siyao was previously distracted by her injuries and did not notice this detail earlier.

”Fellow Daoist Lanʼs consideration is thorough.”

Zhao Siyao closed her eyes to cultivate and took another pill, striving to recover more strength.

  ......

Between the cliff walls above, the powerful aura of the Heavenly Moon Wolf drew closer bit by bit.

Whoosh!

Soon, an agile silver giant wolf leaped down from the rock walls.

Without the blessing of moonlight, the Heavenly Moon Wolfʼs aura plummeted, falling to the middle second rank.

But as an earth-grade bloodline, its strength was much greater than an ordinary middle second-rank demon beast.

Lan Changʼan sat in front of Zhao Siyao, holding a handful of second-rank talismans in hand, and brought out the top superior-grade defensive magical weapon, the White Scale Shield.

Thinking of the Heavenly Moon Wolfʼs moon blade technique, he also took out the Exotic White Pearl.

The Heavenly Moon Wolfʼs dark silver eyes coldly gazed at Lan Changʼan. Seeing the handful of second-rank talismans in his hand, its pupils slightly contracted.

Lan Changʼan returned the gaze with a blank expression.

Suddenly.

The snow-white dressed Zhao Fairy in front of him took off her dress, her wonderful body of icy flesh and jade bones shyly throwing herself into his arms.

”Parlor trick!”

Lan Changʼan laughed coldly in his heart, having been prepared early, seeing through the illusion before him.

He had the Spirit Stabilizing Secret Art from his previous life, and the mental fortitude afforded him by the Evergreen Technique.

With preparation, let alone the Heavenly Moon Wolfʼs current strength had fallen, even with the amplification of moonlight, it could not shake him.

At this moment, Lan Changʼan pretended to be affected by the illusion, treating it like watching a short movie.

The Earth Burrowing Rat was secretly hidden underground, having buried the second-rank talisman disc.

As long as the Heavenly Moon Wolf approached, it would trigger the array and unleash enough power to kill a middle second-rank demon beast with weaker defenses.

”Lan Changʼan, how dare you treat me like some common strumpet!” A clear rebuke, both shy and angry, came from the Fairy Zhao beside him.

”If you donʼt back off, donʼt blame my sword for being merciless!”

Obviously, Zhao Siyao was affected by the illusion.

The corner of Lan Changʼanʼs mouth twitched.

Subconsciously, it seemed this Fairy Zhao had no romantic feelings for a certain someone.

The Heavenly Moon Wolf floated down from the sky, cautiously approaching the two.

”Take three more steps forward.” Lan Changʼan was silently reciting in his heart.

The Heavenly Moon Wolf was agile and specialized in moonlight spells, but its physical defense was not outstanding among second-rank demons.

Once this wolf entered the hidden talisman formation, it would at least be heavily injured.

Cooperating with the Earth Burrowing Rat, Zhao Siyao, and Lan Changʼanʼs middle-grade second-rank talismans, they could only happily accept one more special demon core.

Swish!

The Heavenly Moon Wolfʼs steps suddenly paused, its cunning eyes revealing vigilance and confusion.

Two more steps and it would step into the minefield.

”It stopped? This Heavenly Moon Wolfʼs mind is abnormal.”

Lan Changʼan frowned slightly, his mind merged with the first life of the Nine Seal Stele, amplifying his soul perception.

Hmm?

He noticed an anomaly: the Heavenly Moon Wolfʼs soul and body were somewhat disharmonious.

This was the feeling conveyed by the Nine Seal Stele.

Lan Changʼan formed a guess in his heart.

No wonder this wolf would actively scheme against human cultivators, its illusion techniques so sophisticated, its intelligence surpassing demons of the same rank.

The Heavenly Moon Wolfʼs eyes flickered as it took a deep look at Lan Changʼan, surprisingly slowly retreating.

”Ugh!”

At this moment, Zhao Siyao let out a groan, breaking free from the illusion.

Seeing Lan Changʼan with his clothes intact, her expression became unnatural.
