In truth, cleaning up a Ironblood Sect was not a major matter for the Profound Origin Immortal Sect.
Sending any elder would be enough to easily resolve it.
But for someone of Elder Bai Jing’s status to personally take action clearly meant that he intended to do Li Yun a favor.
Li Yun naturally had to remember this favor in his heart.
"No need for formalities. Let us set off now."
Elder Bai Jing waved his hand.
A large green bird materialized before them. Its feathers were neat, graceful, and glowing with a captivating luster.
This large green bird was a descendant of a divine beast called the Verdant Luan.
Although its bloodline was not pure, it was still an extremely rare exotic beast. Its traveling speed was said to be astonishing.
Afterward, the two of them mounted the Verdant Luan.
Their figures immediately shot into the sky and vanished into the horizon.
At the Annihilation Battlefield.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Intense sounds of tearing through the air rang out as a streak of purple light swept across the sky at extreme speed.
Upon closer inspection, this purple light was actually a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe.
Behind the purple light, three streaks of black light rapidly closed in.
Their speed was not much slower than his, and they converged from three directions to surround him.
"Zi Canglan, you cannot escape."
The three streaks of black light were three black-robed demonic cultivators radiating devilish qi.
The one in the middle sneered as he spoke.
"At this point, almost all the Spirit Manifestation Realm powerhouses of your Heavenly Sword Sect are dead. You are next."
"Today, no matter what, you are doomed to die."
The other two black-robed demonic cultivators also sneered.
Although the main forces of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the other factions had already been defeated and scattered, many remnants had escaped and caused considerable trouble for the Ironblood Sect.
Zi Canglan was one of them.
Although he had not broken through to the Spirit Manifestation Realm for long, his strength was quite formidable.
He had even managed to ambush and kill a Spirit Manifestation Realm expert from the Ironblood Sect.
However, no matter how cunning and troublesome he was, today he was destined to fall.
With three Spirit Manifestation Realm experts making a move together, even if Zi Canglan grew wings, he would not be able to escape.
"Damn it."
Zi Canglan snorted coldly, his eyes filled with icy light.
Under normal circumstances, even when facing three Spirit Manifestation Realm experts, he might not win, but he would still have a chance to escape.
But not long ago, he had fallen into an ambush by the Ironblood Sect and had been attacked by a 2nd level Spirit Manifestation Realm expert, suffering severe injuries.
In his current condition, escaping from the pursuit of three Spirit Manifestation Realm experts was almost impossible.
"It seems I will ultimately perish here today."
He sighed softly, but the cold light in his eyes became even more intense.
Even if he died, he would not let the Ironblood Sect off easily.
At the very least, he would drag one or two of them down with him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Finally, after a few moments, Zi Canglan was caught by the three black-robed demonic cultivators.
The three of them arrived from different directions and directly surrounded him.
"Zi Canglan, why are you not running anymore? Go on, keep running."
The black-robed demonic cultivator in the middle laughed heartily.
"To be honest, Zi Canglan, although you are not much in other aspects, your ability to flee is truly first-rate. I cannot help admiring it."
"Hmph. No matter how impressive he is at running, was he not still caught by us?"
Another black-robed demonic cultivator sneered.
"Killing Zi Canglan will be a great contribution."
Screech!
At that moment, a clear bird cry suddenly rang out in the distance.
Immediately afterward, the figure of a large green bird appeared, rapidly descending toward Zi Canglan and the others.
"Hm? What is this?"
Glancing at the two figures on the large green bird, Zi Canglan’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. He almost could not believe what he was seeing.
"Li Yun?"
"Li Yun, how can it be you?" Zi Canglan looked as if he had seen a ghost. His face was filled with disbelief.
Had Li Yun not left the Azure Void Region long ago?
Why would he suddenly appear here, and at such a dangerous moment?
"This is bad."
After the initial shock passed, Zi Canglan shivered all over and shouted almost instinctively, "Li Yun, leave this place quickly."
"Hm?"
At the same time, the three black-robed demonic cultivators also looked toward Li Yun.
After exchanging glances, their eyes immediately shone with excitement.
"It is Li Yun. This is the person the Ironblood Saint personally placed a bounty on. Whether we capture him alive or kill him on the spot, we will receive unbelievably generous rewards."
"I never thought our luck would be this good today. Not only did we catch Zi Canglan, but we also ran into Li Yun, this enormous prize. It seems our fortune has finally turned around."
The three black-robed demonic cultivators laughed at the same time, their eyes fixed tightly on the Verdant Luan.
If the Verdant Luan showed the slightest intention of leaving, they would immediately move to stop it.
However, the Verdant Luan showed no sign of fleeing.
It descended directly.
Afterward, Li Yun dismounted from the Verdant Luan, bowed toward Zi Canglan, and said, "Greetings, Elder Zi."
"Li Yun, you..."
Zi Canglan was so angry that he nearly exploded.
His chest heaved for a long while before he snapped angrily, "Did I not tell you to leave? Instead of leaving, you actually came down on your own. Are you tired of living?"
As he spoke, Zi Canglan glanced at Elder Bai Jing, then quickly withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, Elder Bai Jing did not reveal the aura of a 9th level Spirit Manifestation Realm powerhouse. He only showed the aura of someone who had just entered the Spirit Manifestation Realm.
Such a realm was not enough for Zi Canglan to take seriously.
