Chapter 164 Hunting down

After sending the vegetables dipped in hotpot into their mouths, the eyes of Leng Yanran and Yu Youwei immediately lit up. In an instant, they understood why Li Yourong was moved to tears by how delicious it was!

Such delicacy shouldn't exist in this world—could it be from the realm of immortals!?

"How does it taste?"

Seeing his disciples' reactions, Chen Daoxuan felt quite satisfied.

"Delicious!"

Leng Yanran nodded vigorously, fully approving of the flavor of the hotpot.

"It's incredibly tasty. Master, you should try it too."

Yu Youwei looked at her Master with admiration. As someone enlightened by the laws of the Heaven, she should have no interest in worldly food. The only thing that could pique her interest was the origin of heavenly tribulation. However, at this moment, she had tasted something even more enticing than the origin of heavenly tribulation!

Under the expectant gazes of the three, Chen Daoxuan shook his head and smiled. Compared to the delicacies he had tasted in his past life, the cuisine of this world was truly unremarkable.

One could even say that the seasonings in this world were limited, and naturally, they couldn't create delicious food. However, he hadn't enjoyed a hotpot in quite a while. Under the three pairs of eyes, Chen Daoxuan finally picked up his chopsticks.

"Well, it's indeed not bad. Don't just stand there, start eating."

Chen Daoxuan nodded slightly, then signaled for the three to start using their chopsticks. They had been longing for this moment for quite some time, and now that they had his permission, they eagerly began to use their chopsticks.

"However, this hot pot seems a bit too vegetarian. Let Master add some meat for you."

Looking at the pot filled with vegetables, devoid of any meaty aroma, Chen Daoxuan gently stroked his chin and remarked. With that said, before the three could even react, he casually gestured, and a few Qi Sea Realm little lambs appeared beside the small pavilion.

The little lambs looked bewildered, as if they were peacefully grazing one second and then suddenly appeared here the next.

These creatures were some of the beasts that inhabited the Illusory Void Mountain. Their strength wasn't remarkable, and they usually subsisted on grass and leaves, cultivating by absorbing the sparse spiritual energy around them.

"Baa?"

The little lamb suddenly felt the gaze upon them and turned its head in confusion.

"Master, these little lambs are so adorable! If we blanch them in the hot pot, they must taste really delicious! They dare to eat grass today, and tomorrow they'll dare to eat humans! Let's eat them; it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Li Yourong blinked her eyes, her gaze fixated on the little lamb, her eyes shining with excitement.

Hearing Yourong's words, everyone present twitched their mouths simultaneously.

Truly living like a King of Hell!

This completely fabricated accusation was absurd beyond belief.

"Baa?"

The little lamb had reached the Qi Sea Realm. Although it couldn't speak, it had a general understanding of human speech. Hearing the false accusations against it, it was dumbfounded, and looking at these people, it felt quite wronged.

In the end, not long after…

The little lamb disappeared without a trace, and several plates of succulent lamb meat appeared on the table.

The group enjoyed this hot pot meal with even greater enthusiasm!

In contrast to the harmonious atmosphere in the Illusory Void Mountain's small pavilion, the situation of Chi Yun in the Northern Domain at this moment was dire.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. Back then, turning that Chi Yunzi Junior's corpse into a corpse puppet, who could have thought that after thousands of years, you would actually develop consciousness on your own. A high-quality corpse puppet with consciousness, truly a rare find!"

Several cultivators dressed in black robes emitted a strong corpse aura. With great interest, they watched Chi Yun, who was continuously trying to escape, and chuckled.

These people were all dressed uniquely, with the most distinctive feature being a coffin bound to each of their backs.

The aura they exuded was at least Void Refining Realm, with two of them even emitting the aura of Fusion Realm.

Scarlet Cloud Immortal's downfall back then had some connection with them. However, since they hadn't obtained any immortal-grade techniques in the end, they decided to refine Scarlet Cloud Immortal's corpse into a corpse puppet, leaving it in the Scarlet Cloud Secret Realm.

Initially, they hadn't been in a hurry to retrieve this corpse puppet. However, they recently heard that the Scarlet Cloud Secret Realm had collapsed, and inside it was a Boundless Realm corpse puppet, which was now assisting some Northern Domain Empress.

That was why they had personally come to the Northern Domain, intending to retrive Scarlet Cloud Immortal's corpse.

"Darn it, I'm afraid I'll die today."

Though Chi Yun tried his best to flee, he could tell that the people pursuing him were merely toying with him. They hadn't put in any real effort. After all, he was only at the Boundless Realm, and even the lowest among them, at Void Refining Realm, was more than capable of easily capturing him.

"Very well, I hope I can escape to the Illusory Void Mountain. When the time comes, under the protection of the Pavilion Master, even if a deity arrives, I won't be afraid!"

Despite continually changing his direction as he fled, Chi Yun's destination was clear: Illusory Void Mountain!

As long as he could make it there, he would be completely safe!

Illusory Void Mountain wasn't far from the Moro Kingdom where he usually resided. If he pushed himself to the limits and traveled at full speed, he would reach it in half an hour, tops!

It was his only hope!

On the flying boat, Li Shenruo tidied her attire and was now nearing the base of the Illusory Void Mountain. Suddenly, her eyebrows furrowed as she noticed a figure rapidly flying through the air.

Was someone escaping for their life?

Initially, Li Shenruo had no intention of getting involved to avoid any unnecessary trouble. However, upon seeing the person's face clearly, she was stunned.

"Isn't this the person from the coffin in the Scarlet Cloud Secret Realm?"

Li Shenruo immediately furrowed her brows. She was far from unfamiliar with this person from the coffin; in fact, she was quite familiar.

Putting aside the fact that this person had become Fairy Leng's subordinate, even the immortal-grade technique she cultivated herself was connected to that Chi Yun. After all, she inherited the immortal-grade technique of Scarlet Cloud Immortal.

Although the person in the coffin, Chi Yun, didn't possess the consciousness of the original Scarlet Cloud Immortal, it was a corpse left behind by Scarlet Cloud Immortal that developed its own consciousness.

From any perspective, Li Shenruo believed she should step in and help!

Even though she didn't know who it was that could chase the Boundless Realm Chi Yun in the Northern Domain, she didn't think much and directly canceled the flying boat's autopilot, changing its direction toward Chi Yun!

The flying boat was significantly faster than the Boundless Realm Chi Yun. In no time, it caught up to his figure.

"Senior, quickly get on the flying boat!"

Approaching Chi Yun, Li Shenruo reached the deck and hurriedly called out.

Initially, Chi Yun, who had sensed the flying boat approaching, thought it was the people pursuing him. He was about to change his course to evade them. However, upon hearing a familiar voice, he momentarily hesitated, then quickly stepped onto the flying boat's deck.

"Why is Senior so flustered?"

Li Shenruo began to speak, wanting to inquire.

"No time to explain, hurry to the Illusory Void Mountain!"

Chi Yun was in a state of urgency. There were Void Refining Realm experts and even Fusion Realm experts chasing after him. He simply didn't have time to explain much to Li Shenruo.

Seeing the situation, Li Shenruo naturally wouldn't dally. She immediately pushed the flying boat's speed to its limit.

"Oh? Interesting, I didn't expect to see a rare item like a flying boat in this barren land of the Northern Domain."

Before Chi Yun could catch his breath, he and Li Shenruo were shocked to find that several figures had appeared on the deck at some point. They were sneering at them.
