"Big brother, are you speaking in riddles?"

The young man smiled faintly.

"I’m just speculating, after all, I also have some interest in that place, the Spirit Abyss Ghost River!"

The middle-aged man smiled proudly.

The young man suddenly became anxious. He grabbed the middle-aged man’s arm and shook it, saying, "Big brother, that place is too eerie. It’s said that once you go there, you never come back. You must not take this risk."

"Don’t worry, how could I be that foolish?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, looked into the distance across the void, and said softly, "I’m just curious and want to see what the legendary Ghost Blood Boat looks like, haha..."

"Big brother, this matter is of great importance, shouldn’t we report back to the Clan Leader?"

The young man exhaled a sigh of relief, relaxed, thought for a moment, and added.

"Indeed."

The middle-aged man nodded, waved his hand, and led the group, disappearing into the depths of the sky.

...

At this moment, Luo Li was already far away, thousands of miles away.

"The Ice and Fire Wolf guys are really persistent, still following me from afar, seemingly unwilling to give up..."

With a fleeting glance, Luo Li had noticed something amiss, and her brows furrowed tightly.

Even though she was using the Dragon God Body Technique to fly rapidly over the towering mountains, Luo Li still clutched the mysterious white paper lantern and the Supreme Golden Dragon Sword tightly in her hands.

Luo Li was very cautious.

The Ice and Fire Wolf group attached great importance to this seemingly ordinary white paper lantern. There must be some secret hidden within it.

As long as she held the white paper lantern, the people of the Ice and Fire Wolf Clan would hesitate, allowing her temporary safety.

Thinking of this, she smiled slightly and changed direction.

In mid-air.

A flash of golden light, Luo Li continued her escape.

Hundreds of miles away, a group from the Ice and Fire Wolf chased relentlessly.

The black-faced man and the round-faced man leading them had extremely somber expressions, seemingly on the verge of an emotional outburst.

"That little girl has a powerful physical body. If we keep chasing like this, we’re going to be in trouble..."

The black-faced man said in a deep voice.

"Indeed, she holds the Linglong Lamp, threatening us constantly. Following her like this puts us at a disadvantage!"

The round-faced man said with a bitter smile.

"Hmm..."

The black-faced man frowned slightly and suddenly thought of a plan. He whispered, "How about this, I’ll follow her alone. You take the others back to see the Clan Leader and borrow that sacred artifact, okay?"

"The Sky Ice Mirror?"

The round-faced man was taken aback and then said anxiously, "That’s a priceless sacred artifact of the clan... will the Clan Leader allow us to borrow it?"

The black-faced man smiled mysteriously, "If we don’t borrow it, we can’t catch that slippery little girl, right? None of us can do anything to her now, unless we use the Sky Ice Mirror for a sneak attack to freeze her, so we have a chance to reclaim the Linglong Lamp!"

"Alright."

The round-faced man thought briefly and understood.

He didn’t hesitate, quickly left with the rest.

"Hehe, with fewer people, the target is smaller. Following that little girl alone won’t attract attention..."

The black-faced man whispered to himself with a smile.

Along the way, the girl fortunately traveled through the towering mountains, with no cultivators seeing the Linglong Lamp.

Therefore, it hasn’t drawn the attention of other forces for now.

Now that he’s hiding alone, that little girl won’t notice him. She’ll surely put the Linglong Lamp back into her storage ring.

This way, it won’t attract others’ attention.

Once the clan members bring back the Sky Ice Mirror, they can secretly attack, freeze her, and then retrieve the Linglong Lamp from her storage ring.

This is currently the best plan he could think of.

Hiding his entire aura, he widened the distance, following Luo Li from a distance.

The black-faced man was very confident.

As a level one Life and Death Realm cultivator, he was far more powerful than her. If he deliberately concealed himself, that little girl, no matter how cunning, couldn’t possibly detect him.

As Luo Li was flying, she used her divine sense and suddenly found that the large group behind her had disappeared.

Yes, there was no one left.

"Something’s not quite right..."

Luo Li blinked her eyes, suddenly stopping in mid-air.

Her pupils contracted slightly, and in an instant, she activated the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye, causing her pupil power to increase dramatically.

"I knew it, the Ice and Fire Wolf Clan wouldn’t give up this white paper lantern. So the main group has vanished, leaving only one black-faced guy following me..."

Luo Li smiled subtly, her heart suddenly understanding.

She was astute and had practiced extensively in the world, so regarding the movements of the Ice and Fire Wolf Clan, she could deduce them with high accuracy.

In Luo Li’s view.

They were certainly not going to give up the white paper lantern.

The reason they left one person was to better conceal their tracks while following her.

As for where the others went, they were likely going to bring reinforcements.

Or.

The black-faced man simply thought that he could easily capture her alone.

Luo Li turned around, a smile on her lips, saying with a chuckle, "He hasn’t dared to make a move yet, following sneakily behind, he must be afraid I’ll destroy this white paper lantern, right?"

After smiling,

Luo Li put the white paper lantern in her storage ring, holding the Supreme Golden Dragon Sword in one hand, continuing to fly forward.

However, her flying speed was slightly slower than before.

It gave the impression of exhaustion.

"This little girl, after several days of travel, seems a bit fatigued..."

The black-faced man behind her rejoiced and sped up.

That little girl must have noticed no one chasing from behind and put the Linglong Lamp back into her storage ring.

Because of that.

The black-faced man no longer worried about other forces’ experts inadvertently discovering the Linglong Lamp.

His previous plan was unfolding perfectly.

"Maybe if I get close to her, I can capture her directly, after all, she’s only at Heavenly Fate Realm Level 7!"

The black-faced man murmured to himself, excitement on his face.

If he alone captured that little girl and retrieved the Linglong Lamp, it would be a great achievement within the clan.

With this thought.

The black-faced man immediately increased his speed, chasing after Luo Li.

"Goodness, there’s always a higher mountain! This little girl, Luo Li, is setting a trap for that guy..."

Deep in the void.

A black carriage slowly flew through the void, unnoticed by anyone.

Sitting inside, Ye Yun watched the scene below, couldn’t help laughing, and expressed admiration for Luo Li’s actions.

Although Luo Li was at Heavenly Fate Realm Level 7, if she fully targeted that level one Life and Death Realm black-faced man, she had over an eighty percent chance of killing him.

"As expected of the Sect Leader! This move to entice the enemy deeper is truly brilliant!"

Mu Qing looked down and exclaimed in admiration.

"Do you think the little girl will kill that black-faced man?"

Ye Yun asked with a smile.

"Probably not?

The Sect Leader is likely interested in the white paper lantern as well, maybe she’ll capture him and interrogate him about the lantern’s origin and purpose..."

Mu Qing said with a smile, pursing her lips.

"You think like me, so let’s watch and see if the little girl acts as we expect..."

Ye Yun smiled lightly and took a sip of tea without a change in expression.
