Martial God Storm

  Tang Yan was immersed in the practice method of 'Phantom Spirit True', secretly amazed by the mystery of this martial art, which is only a part of the entire martial art, the very first part, and only records the practice method of the primary martial art 'Misty Step'.

  The so-called "Misty Shadow Step" is a light and agile movement that allows the warrior to move swiftly, with an unpredictable pace that can disrupt the enemy's rhythm while increasing the success rate of surprise attacks. When mastered to the extreme, it can even produce a stunning effect similar to teleportation.

  In Tang Yan's view, 'Misty Steps' and 'Extinction Eye' were a match made in heaven! The two complemented each other, their power would inevitably increase exponentially, the effect of the shadow person was not much weaker than that of the talisman card.

  However, there is one thing... the Shadow Step requires extremely delicate control and application of spiritual energy. The more skilled and delicate it is, the lighter and more agile the Shadow Step will be. It's more suitable for girls and not very suitable for boys. For Tang Yan, who has just started practicing, it's simply as difficult as climbing to the sky.

  Huh? Tang Yan, who was quietly contemplating, was suddenly awakened by a strong energy fluctuation.

  The waterfall cascading down was like a thousand horses galloping, and being in the midst of it made it impossible to see or hear anything outside, but the movement of heaven and earth could be clearly sensed.

  The more I feel, the more surprised I am. This situation is too abnormal. Tang Yan's body leaned forward slightly, close to the edge of the waterfall, gazing out at the situation outside.

  The next second, his face changed color and he quickly sat back into the waterfall.

  Is it them? How did they find this place? Tang Yan's eyes changed with uncertainty, hesitating for a moment before leaning forward again, carefully peering out beyond the waterline.

  A fine misty rain shrouded the valley, sparse and scattered from the sky. In the valley's grasslands, more than twenty people sat cross-legged, as if meditating, as if adjusting, yet clearly disrupting the fluctuations of the heaven and earth's energy.

  There were over a dozen students from the Giant Elephant Academy near the cave in the valley, all of whom seemed to have fainted. The distance was too far and the environment was too dark, so Tang Yan couldn't see who they were.

  Calm down!! Calm down!!

  Tang Yan didn't dare to make any rash moves, and honestly sat in the waterfall, waiting with a serious expression but also being extremely cautious. Rescue? Escape? It's likely that as soon as he pokes his head out even slightly, he'll be caught without a doubt.

  What's wrong?

  All the white-robed figures were immersed in their own consciousness, observing the dense forest through the white mist, carefully filtering all suspicious areas. The farther the white mist extended, the thinner it became, and the clarity of their perception also greatly decreased.

  An overly broad scope begins to aggravate their perceptual burden, forcing them to be increasingly cautious and prudent.

  Huh?

  Two figures in white robes near the lake slightly furrowed their brows, opened their eyes one after another, and stared at the surging waterfall. Faintly, they could sense life fluctuations inside, but the water flow was too turbulent, and the liquid droplets they condensed couldn't penetrate it.

  As the mind moved, the 'rain curtain' covering the waterfall area suddenly grew larger and denser. Many water droplets seemed to have life as they penetrated the waterfall, spreading like a fire in the area where Tang Yan was located.

  Not good!! Tang Yan was paying attention to the movement outside at all times, and when the eyes of two people turned towards here, he felt a few strands of not being right. Without much hesitation, he quickly sat back to the deepest part of the waterfall and took advantage of the impact force of the waterfall to dive down to the deep part of the lake.

  Is someone there?! The two men in white clothes were simultaneously alerted and could clearly sense that a living being had dodged the water flow and rushed to the bottom of the lake.

  "Due east, target found!!" Zhou Linglu suddenly spoke out, forcibly drawing the attention of some of the white-robed men to converge on the due east direction, where the fog there became denser.

  "Due east position, shifted five kilometers north, target found! Shifted six kilometers west, target found." Uncle Hua slowly opened his eyes, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  Zhou Lingluo's target was the fugitive Ailinda and Tang Ying, as well as Du Yang.

  Huashu found two groups of special people, the closest were Tang Qiang and a sturdy man, both with strength at the second stage of Wuzong! The farthest were two middle-aged women, one third-stage Wuzong and one second-stage Wuzong.

  The Water Curtain Tianhua can not only detect targets but also sense the enemy's strength, provided that he is no stronger than oneself.

  "Everyone, stop!" Uncle Hua was the first to disperse the Water Curtain Sky Flower. Zhou Lingluo and others stood up one after another. Perhaps due to excessive consumption, everyone's face turned pale and colorless, their breathing also became disordered.

  "According to Tang Qiang's current trajectory, it is highly likely that she will intersect with the hiding place of Ailinda and others. The distance between the two parties is about five kilometers at present. If we act quickly, we may be able to intercept the target before Tang Qiang does."

  "But Ailinda is seven kilometers away from us, which is farther than Tang Qiong. Moreover, although the trajectories of those two women will not intersect with Ailinda's, once a battle breaks out, it is likely to attract all of them over."

  "That's right, but Tang Qiang doesn't know where Ailinda is, and will search while advancing, both sides may meet by chance, and we are taking a straight line of action!"

  "There's another problem, it seems like Yinda doesn't have Tang Yan by her side." Zhou Lingluo was being very cautious.

  "He's probably gone hunting and will be back soon, let's go, we can't waste any more time, first get rid of them."

  Zhou Lingluo no longer hesitated: "Take these trainees and move out!"

  The two men in white robes at the edge looked at each other, glanced again at the rushing waterfall, with a few moments of hesitation, but ultimately did not bring it up and quickly followed the departing group.

  "You all rest well, I'll take care of keeping watch."

  After a long escape, Eriinda found an abandoned cave at the foot of a mountain.

  Tang Ying kept gazing in the direction they came from, her pretty face full of worry: "Erlinda Master, are we really not going back to look for him? Tang Yan told me to wait for him, he might have just gotten lost temporarily and maybe he's already back at the valley by now. It's getting dark, it's definitely very dangerous for him to be alone."

  Aileen sighed inwardly and said, "Do you think I don't want to find him? We've been searching for half an hour and haven't found anything. Now that area is full of enemies, we have to leave. If we go back now, aren't we just walking into a trap?"

  "May..."

  "Don't worry, Tang Yan is so...so cunning, there won't be any danger." Eriinda didn't want to give up on anyone, especially Tang Yan who had saved her, but as a mentor, she needed to prioritize the safety of the two students by her side and couldn't sacrifice two people for one.

  This is not the time for emotional matters, responsibility comes first.

  "We can leave a mark, otherwise it's hard for him to get out of the Mystic Forest." One characteristic of the Mystic Forest is that the terrain is basically the same everywhere, and without a map, people walking inside will always feel like they're going in circles, easily getting lost and ultimately falling prey to the ferocious beasts.

  "I really hope to find or help Tang Yan, but we are now facing the enemy's pursuit and must be careful at all times." Erynda indirectly refused, leaving a mark. Is this guiding Tang Yan? Or is it guiding the enemy?

  Aileen let out a quiet sigh, at this moment, her heart was inexplicably disturbed, for the calm sea of her mind, this feeling was somewhat strange and uncomfortable.

  Tang Ying opened her mouth, but didn't know what else to say.

  Du Yang leaned against the rock wall and looked at Tang Ying: "I have a question I don't know whether I should ask."

  "Huh?"

  "I have a feeling that Tang Yan is very different from the Tang Yan of before, at least not like the Tang Yan I know. Is he your family's trump card? Has he been pretending all along?"

  "I'm not sure, really not sure." Tang Ying shook her head. Not to mention Du Yang feeling strange, she herself felt unbelievable. But if it's said that it's a 'trump card', it's also unlikely. If Tang Yan was really hidden, he must have been incredibly talented and taken care of by the old master, in which case he wouldn't be just a second-class martial artist.

  A second-rate martial artist, no matter how special they are, can't be considered a 'trump card'.

  Du Yang shrugged and stopped asking further questions. However, in his heart, Tang Ying should know something, but didn't want to say it out loud in front of outsiders.

  Ailinda asked Du Yang: "Where did you get this white robe from? And the Ice Seal Card, where did you get them from?"

  "I picked it up in the woods. I was fleeing and unexpectedly saw a Four-Winged Scale Snake go crazy. After waiting for about half an hour, the place calmed down, so I went over to take a look. Originally, I wanted to pick up some treasure, but unexpectedly, I saw two corpses. One was torn apart and tattered, while the other one was slightly better off, so I took this outfit."

  "Only two corpses?"

  "Maybe, I didn't dare stay too long. How about you, did you see it too?"

  Tang Yingdao said: "We escaped from inside, and that four-winged snake seemed to be attracted by Tang Yan."

  "Tang Yan? Attractive?" Du Yang was slightly stunned.

  "Tang Ying, I have a question and I hope you can answer me seriously." Elinda suddenly turned serious and looked at Tang Ying sternly: "What are those things that Tang Yan gave to me?"

  She never forgot the pure energy that Tang Yan had pushed into her mouth, which was almost effortlessly refined and easily transformed into a part of the spiritual power in her meridians. This miraculous thing was unheard of, even crystal stones or demon cores did not have such an effect, almost overturning her understanding.

  Tang Ying remembered Tang Yan's reminder and pretended to be confused, saying: "What is what?"

  "You really don't know?" Ailinda stared at Tang Ying intensely.

  Tang Ying was stared at by her and felt a little guilty in her heart, but she never loosened up, shaking her head to indicate that she knew nothing.

  "It's all right, you guys hurry up and rest, I'll take care of the watch." Elinda didn't press the issue anymore, but at this moment, she and Du Yang both had the same feeling - the Tang family must have done something to Tang Yan, that little guy wasn't just a spoiled brat!
